The Viben Obsession is significantly stronger than any of my non-wand vibrators, even on its softest setting. 

There are three power levels. The lowest starts at 7.7 out of 10 vibration strength, and it goes up to 8.5 on high. It doesn’t provide any warm-up, which is a bummer because I typically need softer power when I’m starting out. Otherwise, the vibrations feel too overwhelming.

I can only use the Viben Obsession’s lowest power level without feeling irritated. And even then, I need to use it over my clothes.

I find the second and third levels wildly unpleasant. They’re extremely buzzy which feels overwhelming and uncomfortable combined with the immense strength. I’ll talk more about that in the next section.

Many wands have a broader power range than the Viben Obsession – packing extreme power on high, but beginning gentler on low. I prefer these wands like the Lovense Domi, BMS PalmPower Extreme, among others.

The Fun Factory Vim has an excellent power range that starts gently and reaches extreme strength on high.

Although there are even more powerful wands, I consider the Vim’s top strength of 7.3 out of 10 extremely intense and more than enough for me. I rarely use the top levels because the first few settings provide plenty of stimulation. It’s especially strong, considering how rumbly the Vim is – most wands that reach this strength become buzzy.

The Fun Factory Vim’s 5 preset power levels provide a gradual journey from gentle to intense. The initial strength of 1.7 out of 10 provides an enjoyable warmup without overstimulating. And steps from one setting to the next are comfortably small.

You can make the transitions even more subtle by holding down the (+) or (-) buttons. This slowly increases or decreases the motor’s power until you release the button. It allows you to access intermediate power levels beyond the Fun Factory Vim’s 5 predetermined settings. Holding the (-) button also allows you to reach an even gentler starting level.

Because the Fun Factory Vim’s power range is wide and gradual, you’ll likely find settings that suit you. The only people who might not be satisfied with the Vim’s power range are those who want as much intensity as possible. If that’s you, consider the Doxy Die Cast or BMS PalmPower Extreme, but most people will not need more power than the Vim offers.

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations more highly than those with buzzy vibrations. Most people prefer rumbliness. But, there is definitely variation in peoples’ preferences. 

For example – I really enjoy neutral or moderately buzzy vibrations when they’re moderately powerful (roughly vibration strengths between 4 and 7). But when vibrations are both extremely buzzy and immensely powerful they become unbearable to me.

And that’s the problem with the Viben Obsession – it’s extreme in both power and buzziness. 

It’s one of the few wand vibrators we’ve tested that is already buzzy on its lowest setting! And on high, it’s the buzziest of all our wands. On the second or third power, I don’t even like to touch it to any part of my body. And I definitely don’t want it near my clit!

You can find comparably priced, powerful wands with better rumbliness. Whether that’s extreme rumbliness, like with the Lovense Domi, moderately rumbly like the Viben Sultry, or more neutral  like the BMS PalmPower Extreme. I enjoy each of these wands, and each provides powerful stimulation with deeper, more enjoyable rumbliness.

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. Rumbly vibrations travel deeper and impact the entire area. But some people like buzzy vibrations that stay near the surface, so consider your preferences!

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding rumbliness. The heavy weight in its motor creates impactful vibrations without needing to spin as fast as a lighter motor (slower speeds feel more rumbly, and faster speeds feel buzzier).

It reaches a deeper, more rumbly level on its lowest setting than any of my other wands. The first 4 of 5 settings are extremely rumbly. And even the highest power is still moderately rumbly. Most wand vibrators that reach a comparable strength are buzzier.

The Fun Factory Vim is my main wand vibrator recommendation for those who value rumbly vibrations. Although the Lelo Smart Wand 2 and Orion Grande Wand have even lower-frequency vibrations than the Fun Factory Vim, they’re worse wands overall.

If you’re familiar with the We-Vibe Tango X, a small bullet vibrator famous for being super rumbly – the Fun Factory Vim is even more rumbly, while being much stronger!

I also find the Vim’s extreme rumbliness feels particularly enjoyable with my Liberator Axis mount for hands-free stimulation during sex.

The Viben Obsession has a comfortable handle that’s relatively narrow for a full-sized wand. People with small hands like me will find its slim, silicone handle comfortable and easy to grip. I also don’t feel any uncomfortable vibrations in my hands as I do with some wands. This surprised me since the Obsession is extremely powerful.

The head is large, which means you can’t fit it into tight areas, but it provides wider stimulation instead. Since the vibrations are so strong, you probably won’t need to position its head in a precise spot – it broadly stimulates the entire area. It’s also lighter than other full-sized wands so maneuvering it is fairly easy.

The head is firm, but the neck is extremely flexible which keeps it comfortable.

The controls are great. They’re easy to feel without looking, but I don’t accidentally press them. And you can both increase or decrease the power, which is necessary since this wand is so strong. You may need to step back down sometimes.

The Fun Factory Vim is very comfortable and extremely easy to use, especially for a full-sized wand vibrator.

Although the Vim’s motor is heavy, the overall weight is lighter than most full-sized wands, making it easier to maneuver. The fact that most of the weight is in the Vim’s head helps it naturally press the vibes deeper without needing to leverage the wand as much with your wrists.

The Vim’s handle is slim and covered with a slightly plush, textured silicone, providing a comfortable grip. The Vim’s silicone feels especially luxurious. And the vibrations are not at all distracting in my hands – they travel less into the handle than many other wands this powerful.

The head is fairly firm, which can feel less comfortable when pressing against less fleshy areas (like your pubic bone). But the Vim’s flexible neck helps keep it comfortable despite its firmness. And the wide head (2.4 inches) spreads the contact comfortably over a broad surface area.

The Fun Factory Vim’s controls are excellent and easy to use too.

It turns on and off with a simple press of the button (no need to hold it down like several wands require). But more importantly, it has separate buttons to increase and decrease power. You do not have to cycle through all the settings to return to a previous strength. And if you want more gradual increments between intensity levels, you can hold the (+) or (-) button to change the power slowly.

The only thing that could improve its controls is an additional button to move through the vibration patterns. You change vibration patterns by using the (+) and (-) buttons. Once you’ve reached the top strength, clicking the (+) button again will move you into the vibration patterns. You cannot alter the pattern’s strength since you use the (+) and (-) buttons to change vibration patterns. This is not a big concern since most people rarely use vibration patterns.

You can also use the Fun Factory Vim’s travel lock to keep it from accidentally turning on in storage. Just press and hold the “Fun” and “-” buttons together for 2 seconds to lock it. Hold “Fun” and “+” to unlock.

In this section, I try to rate how easy it is to use the wand during sex. I consider aspects like whether a wand limits how my partner and I can position our bodies and whether maneuvering the wand and keeping it in contact with my clit during sex is easy. 

I try to compartmentalize how the vibrations themselves feel. But I experience such discomfort from the Viben Obsession’s extremely buzzy vibrations during sex, it’s impossible to separate that component out completely.

With all the movement happening during sex, the Viben Obsession’s wide head bumps into my legs and other areas that I don’t want to be stimulated. And since the vibrations are so powerful and buzzy it feels uncomfortable and distracting.

This is especially the case in positions like Missionary or Spooning where I can’t lean back to create more space for the wand’s head. The Viben Obsession’s firm head also bumps uncomfortably into my pubic bone in Cowgirl.

The Obsession’s vibrations seem to feel more diffuse in Doggystyle, and I’m able to enjoy the lowest power level a bit. And the Viben Obsession has a long enough handle that I can support its weight by resting the wand’s base on the bed. So my arms don’t get tired using it in this position.

The Fun Factory Vim works great during sex. Though it’s larger than I typically prefer during sex, the Vim’s rumbliness allows the vibrations to travel deep into my body in an effective way that’s not overstimulating.

So even though I can’t fit the Vim’s head directly near my clit in face-to-face positions where space is limited, the vibrations are still effective because they travel to my clit anyway!

Spooning and Doggystyle positions with the Vim are awesome! The head comfortably distributes pressure and vibrations, and I can grip the handle at multiple points along the handle for excellent leverage. The long handle is especially useful because you can prop it on the bed in these positions if your arm gets tired.

The Viben Obsession is my loudest wand vibrator. I find its noise distracting, and it’s certainly not discreet. 

My partner can hear it from the other side of our closed bedroom door on all power levels. And it’s the only wand that was not drowned out by playing music in the bedroom. My partner could still hear it on the other side of the door! 
The Viben Sultry and Magic Wand Rechargeable are comparably powerful, but much quieter (and more rumbly too!)

The Fun Factory Vim has excellent noise levels. It’s the best option for those looking to balance power and discretion. Only weaker wand vibrators are quieter than the Fun Factory Vim.

For a wand this powerful, the decibel readings were especially low.

And during our testing, I could use most of the power settings in the bedroom without my partner being able to hear from the other side of the door. My partner could only hear the top level. And even then, my partner noted that he could barely make out the Vim’s sound. The vibrations are so deep that they’re unnoticeable unless you’re trying to listen for it.

Turning on a box fan easily masks the noise if you’re worried.

Since the vibrations are so rumbly, they have an excellent, deep sound that isn’t distracting. So, if you’re easily annoyed by noise, the Vim is a great choice!

The Viben Obsession has excellent compatibility with wand attachments. As a full-sized wand, the majority of attachments are designed for heads this size.

There are compatible attachments for a range of stimulation including G-spot, prostate, anal, penis, clitoral, and dual-stimulation. Below are the wand attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with the Viben Obsession.

The Fun Factory Vim has fantastic compatibility with wand attachments. Most attachments are designed for wands with a full-sized head like the Fun Factory Vim.

You can find compatible attachments for various stimulation, including clitoral, G-spot, penis, prostate, and dual-stimulation. You can see all the attachments I’ve tested for compatibility with the Fun Factory Vim here.

I test my wands with the Liberator Wanda and Axis mounts which hold your wand so you can play hands-free. The Viben Obsession fits well with both mounts. 

The Axis works best lying on your stomach while the mount holds the wand between your legs. The Viben Obsession’s head rests in a good position for clit stimulation, sticking out just past the fabric. 

In the Axis, I prefer wands with an upward curve or angle like with the BMS PalmPower Extreme which put a little more pressure on my clit. But since the Viben Obsession’s power and buzziness are so intense, I’m happy to have slightly less contact with my clit.

The Wanda mount also holds the Obsession in a good position. I can comfortably straddle the mount while keeping the head in contact with my clit. The broad head provides plenty of surface area to lean against. And the flexible neck is comfortable when I press my weight back on it.

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding compatibility with Liberator’s wand mounts for hands-free play. I test all my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. Both work very well with the Vim.

The Axis holds your wand while you lie across the mount on your stomach. I like using the Axis to hold my wand to my clit during sex while my partner penetrates from behind. The Axis grips the Vim’s handle firmly, keeping it securely in place.

And although curved or angled wands (like the BMS PalmPower Extreme) contact my clit more firmly, the Vim still maintains great clitoral contact and stimulates well. At 2.4 inches, the Vim’s head is one of the widest, which helps it reach my clit easily. And the exceptional rumbliness is a huge bonus during hands-free use. The rumbly vibrations travel deep and stimulate my clit even if the head is positioned away from my clit.

The Fun Factory Vim works even better with the Liberator Wanda because you have more variety. If you press the handle down far enough, you can enjoy the vibrations while fully sitting on the Wanda mount, which I love during alone time. Or you can position it farther up in the mount and straddle it on your hands and knees, which works great for hands-free stimulation during penetration from behind with a partner.

The Viben Obsession lasts around 65 minutes on high power, which is shorter than other comparably strong wands. You’ll have to be vigilant about charging between uses.

If you tend to forget to charge your wand like me, you might want something with a longer battery life, like the Magic Wand Rechargeable. 

The Fun Factory Vim is rechargeable and has good battery life. During our testing, it lasted about an hour and a half, continuously vibrating on its maximum power. Since it’s such a powerful wand, it’s also likely that you’ll use its lower and middle levels quite a bit. So your actual runtime will likely be longer.

The Viben Obsession’s construction is decent overall. The buttons feel a little clicky. And the neck feels somewhat flimsy and makes a weird noise when I apply pressure. This makes me more cautious to press the Obsession as firmly as other wands. 

Other than that, the silicone and construction quality feels good.

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding build quality and feels exceptionally luxurious. The silicone is slightly plush, grippy, and textured – all of which feel comfortable and luxurious.

The solid weight of the motor makes it feel durable. The head is also heavier than the handle, so it naturally tips the wand down at the angle you want. The Vim seems very solid, and the flexibility in the neck is the perfect amount to keep it comfortable without feeling like it will break when I press firmly.
