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 Le Wand Petite Plug-In has a good range of power, spanning gentle to moderate strengths – the same as the rechargeable version. This is comparable to the strength of mid-sized non-wand vibrators, but is less than half the strength of my strongest wands.

The Petite Plug-In works well for those worried about overstimulation because the 10 power levels climb very gradually in strength. So you don’t have to worry about large jumps in power that may feel overwhelming if you’re not used to wand-like strength.

However, if you like moderate intensity, there are other moderately powerful wands, like the Magic Wand Mini, that perform better overall.

If you’re looking for the intense power typically associated with wands, this one may fall short. In this price range, the BMS PalmPower Extreme is nearly twice as strong while still starting gently.

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 rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer this. But this is really a personal preference, so select based on what you like.

The Le Wand Petite Plug-In has rumbly vibrations on only the softest settings. Most of the vibrations have a neutral or buzzy feel. It’s actually buzzier than the rechargeable version, because the motor doesn’t slow down when you press it against you.

I enjoy neutral and buzzy vibrations at this strength, but if you prioritize rumbliness, the Lovense Domi 2 is better at this price.

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 Le Wand Petite Plug-In is very comfortable and easy to use with excellent controls.

The handle is slim enough to wrap your hand around easily, a good length to leverage, and the vibrations in my hand are minimal and not distracting. You can get firm pressure easily because the neck is only slightly flexible. And the smaller head allows you to limit contact to specific areas, which helps keep it comfortable since it’s so firm.

You can increase and decrease strength with separate buttons and adjust the intensity of each vibration pattern. The buttons are within easy reach and well-placed, so you don’t accidentally press them while gripping the wand.

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 Le Wand Petite Plug-In’s small head and medium size make it excellent to use during sex.

In positions facing your partner, the head fits into tight spots easily, so you can get direct contact, resulting in good stimulation.

The handle is easy to leverage – long enough that you don’t have to reach down too far, but not so long that the handle bumps against your partner. In doggystyle, this is a good length to rest against the bed if you don’t want to hold the wand up.

The head can feel a bit firm in any position, but it only becomes uncomfortable with aggressive movement. In which case, the Magic Wand Mini’s plush head is better.

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 Le Wand Petite Plug-In is very quiet, making it great for those who need to be discreet. My partner could not hear it from behind our closed bedroom door on any of its settings.

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 Le Wand Petite Plug-In has great compatibility with attachments for a mini wand. Most attachments are designed for wands with full-sized heads, but Le Wand has several attachments designed specifically for this wand. The Lovense Domi‘s attachments and a few others also fit well. You’ll have plenty of options if you want the ability to vary stimulation type with attachments.

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.

We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Le Wand Petite Plug-In works pretty well with both.

The Axis holds your wand at an angle while you lie across it on your stomach. While the Le Wand Petite’s head is small, it’s still relatively tall which helps it reach my clit and deliver good stimulation. It’s not as firm of pressure as you’d get from a thicker-headed wand (like the Magic Wand Plus), but still good for a wand of this size.

The Wanda holds the Le Wand Petite Plug-In upright while you sit on or kneel above the mount for hands-free stimulation. Because of the Le Wand Petite’s short length, the head is positioned just above the mount, which makes sitting directly on the mount excellent for effortless, comfortable stimulation. Wands with larger heads and longer lengths are better if you prefer kneeling, since more surface area provides more even pressure and the head is positioned higher.

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 Le Wand Petite Plug-In is corded, so you’ll never have to charge your toy, but you’re limited to playing near an outlet. It has an 8-foot long cord and comes with adapters for US, EU, UK, and AUS outlets.

If you prefer rechargeable wands, there is a rechargeable version, the Le Wand Petite. But other rechargeable wands at this price perform better overall, like the Magic Wand Mini and BMS PalmPower Extreme.

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 Le Wand Petite Plug-In has good build quality. The construction feels well-made, and the silicone head feels durable.

Although the handle looks metallic, it’s actually plastic. The plastic feels a bit thin and cheap, but it helps it remain lightweight and easy to move around. And it seems resistant to breaks.
