Though not as overwhelming as a few wands like the Magic Wand Plus or PalmPower Extreme, the Viben Sultry has excellent power topping out at 7.3 out of 10 – significantly stronger than any of my non-wand vibrators.

Though it has 8 power levels, it begins with a fair amount of power – I can orgasm easily on any setting. The lowest level is 6.5 out of 10 – already close to its top power of 7.3. There’s nothing really soft.

Normally with a limited power range, I’d need to use a gentler toy to warm up before switching to a powerful wand. But for me, the Sultry just works! Its power range is at my ideal threshold – I find it intense, but comfortable. And I think the main reason it works for me is because of how the vibrations feel: the vibration frequency.

The Le Wand Plug-In has a good top strength of 6.7 out of 10 on our scale—but its power range is limited. All 10 levels fall in a moderate-to-strong range and are close together. There are no gentle warmup levels or extremely powerful settings that many full-sized wands have.

This could work if you only want moderate to strong settings. But for anyone who wants more nuance—a gradual build or extreme strength—it falls short. For example, the Magic Wand Plus starts gentler and ends stronger, with 34% more strength. The BMS PalmPower Extreme also offers gradual adjustability from very soft to extremely intense.

The Viben Sultry is one of the most rumbly wand vibrators we’ve tested. Its entire power range is on the rumbly side of the spectrum, and it packs excellent strength while remaining rumbly.

The Sultry’s lowest 3 levels are extremely rumbly. This makes the wand’s powerful start feel impactful but not overwhelming. The rumbly vibrations are more widespread and comfortable while traveling deeper through your body.

The top 5 power levels remain moderately rumbly, with just a bit more zing that focuses the vibrations in a tighter area. Only a few other wands reach the Sultry’s top strength of 7.3 or higher (like the Orion Grande) while remaining rumbly.

If you enjoy moderate to strong power and love deep, rumbly vibrations the Viben Sultry will be a good fit.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. However, this is an area of personal preference, so consider what you like.

The Le Wand Plug-In has average rumbliness – the first several settings provide rumbly vibrations at a moderate strength. Settings on the higher end feel neutral or buzzy. This covers a wide range of frequencies and can be good, especially if you want rumbly, neutral, and buzzy settings.

However, in this price range, there are better wands that span similar frequency ranges to the Le Wand Plug-In. For instance, the Magic Wand Plus and PalmPower Extreme cover a similar range with more power and better overall performance.

The Viben Sultry is an especially comfortable full-sized wand, but the controls are poor.

It weighs less than other large wands and has a slim, contoured silicone handle that’s very comfy to grip. These features make it easier to maneuver and leverage the Sultry for firm pressure – it doesn’t feel like you’re holding a bulky wand vibrator. The slightly flexible neck also keeps the pressure comfortable without flexing so much that applying pressure becomes difficult.

The tall head provides lovely, broad stimulation. But you can also use the slight lip formed near the top of the head to apply more focused stimulation.

The Sultry’s controls are its only downside. It does not have separate buttons to increase and decrease power. You need to cycle through intensity levels using a single button, and they’re in reverse order (most powerful to least). While this is mildly annoying, the power levels are so close together that I can live with it. It’s still one of the wands I reach for the most.

What’s more frustrating is that if you accidentally press the vibration pattern button, you must cycle through all 19 patterns to return to the constant setting. Simply turning the wand off and back on again does not work because the wand resumes on the same setting. The Maia Nala is a comparably-priced wand with better controls if that’s your priority.

It’s also fully IPX7 waterproof, so it’s quick and easy to clean.

The Le Wand Plug-In is easy to use and has average comfort for a large wand.

You can easily reach the exact setting you want because of the excellent controls. You can increase and decrease strength, and adjust the intensity of each vibration pattern, too.

The thick, heavy handle can be tiring to hold and slower to maneuver. I find it easier to use two hands most of the time. While it’s not as nimble to move around, the weight adds excellent natural pressure. The head is pretty comfortable for how large and firm it is. It’s best if you prefer broad contact and tend to keep your wand in the same place. It’s not for you if you like more precise contact and want something smaller to move around more easily, like the Le Wand Dive.

The handle material does affect the experience. My Le Wand Rechargeable, which I ordered in “white”, is a shiny, grippier plastic, which sticks to my hand better. I ordered the Le Wand Plug-In in “cream”, which has a matte finish, and this slides in my hand more easily, so it takes more effort to hold. Since you can’t select the exact handle material (only the color), you can contact the manufacturer before purchasing to ensure you get your desired finish if this matters to you.

The Viben Sultry also works well during sex. Its tall head is still relatively slim, so it fits into tight spaces better than other full-sized wands. You also don’t need to position it very precisely because its strong, rumbly vibrations travel deep and feel impactful, even when the head is not placed right near your clit.

Its light weight is even more helpful during sex since you’re more often in positions where you’re holding the wand up, like in Doggystyle or Spooning. So it doesn’t get tiring like heavier wands. Since the Sultry is fairly long, you can also rest the base of its handle on the bed during Doggystyle to further support its weight.

Though the head is firmer than the plush silicone of the Magic Wand Rechargeable or Plus, its flexible neck keeps it comfortable during sex.

If you enjoy the broad, powerful stimulation of full-sized wands, and want something easy to use during sex, this is one of the best options.

The Le Wand Plug-In is sub-par during sex, mainly due to its large size, heavy weight, and firm, full-sized head.

In spooning, the wand’s bulk makes it tiring to hold. It’s best to shift your top leg back so that the vibrations don’t fatigue your leg.

In doggystyle, you can rest the base of the handle on the bed to help support the weight. But getting the bulky rounded head to hit where I want is tough. I have trouble getting good contact in modified missionary, too. In cowgirl, you’ll likely need to lean back to provide enough space for the wand to stimulate well. It’s heavy, so I prefer to let the weight rest against me.

The vibrations travel pretty well, but wands with smaller heads like the PalmPower Extreme or Le Wand Dive are better if direct, consistent contact is important.

If your partner moves aggressively in any of these positions, the firm head can also press into you uncomfortably, in which case the Magic Wand Plus’s plush head is better.

The Viben Sultry is one of the quietest wands with this much power – it’s a good option for people who want something strong and discreet. From behind a closed door, my partner can easily hear most wand vibrators this strong.

But I can often use the Sultry on its highest power level without my partner hearing it. We have retested this wand multiple times because it’s right on the border between audible and inaudible on its max setting. Some days my partner can just barely discern the sound of the Sultry’s vibrations on high. But the house has to be completely silent, and he has to try hard to listen for it. Other days he can’t hear it at all.

Turning on a box fan in the bedroom will ensure the Viben Sultry can’t be heard on any power level.

For even more discretion, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is better overall and remains inaudible on every setting, but it’s also more expensive.

The Le Wand Plug-In is not discreet. When we tested it, my partner could hear it on every setting from behind our closed bedroom door.

It’s so big that it’s hard to prevent it from hitting the covers, which makes extra sound. And without the covers, there’s no dampening of the sound. You can mask the noise with a box fan or music. But if you want something more discreet, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is both stronger and quieter.

The Viben Sultry’s slim head which makes it comfortable and easy to use during sex limits its compatibility with wand attachments. Some attachments designed for full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable also fit the Viben Sultry, while others are too loose.

You can still find compatible attachments for a variety of stimulation including penis, anal, G-spot, prostate, and clitoral. But your selection is more limited. See our full wand attachment compatibility table for information on all the attachments we tested for compatibility.

The Le Wand Plug-In has fantastic compatibility with attachments. Most attachments are designed for full-sized heads like this, so you have a ton of variety. Le Wand also makes several of their own attachments specifically designed for this wand. See our wand attachment compatibility table here for the full list of attachments that fit this wand.

I test my wands with Liberator’s wand mounts – the Axis and Wanda. The Sultry works well with both!

The Axis holds the Sultry at a slight upward angle between my legs, as I lie face down along the mount. I can simply lie on the mount and cruise to orgasm solo or have my partner enter me from behind.

Despite its slimmer handle compared to other full-sized wands, the Axis firmly and securely grips the Sultry, preventing any unwanted movement. The Sultry’s tall head provides plenty of surface area for good contact and comfort. With its considerable height, the head applies pressure without requiring me to adjust my body much. Though angled wands like the BMS PalmPower Extreme provide even better contact.

When using the Wanda mount, the Sultry rests upright, allowing me to press against it while kneeling. I find the Sultry’s rounded slim head especially effective in the Wanda. Since it’s slim, I get a bit more focused stimulation, and the subtle rounded shape is very comfortable.

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

The Axis holds your wand at an angle while you lie across the mount on your stomach. The Le Wand Plug-In provides great pressure and contact in this mount since the head is so big – it reaches your clit easily and provides lots of comfortable surface area to press against.

The Wanda holds the wand up while you straddle the mount on your knees. Some smaller wands allow you to sit directly on top of the mount, but the Le Wand Plug-In is too tall for this. Instead, you’ll need to kneel above it for hands-free solo play or with a partner behind you. The broad head is very comfortable to press against for even pressure and consistent contact.

The Viben Sultry is rechargeable and lasted just over 2 hours continuously running on its max power during our testing. This is above-average performance and will be plenty for most people.

The Le Wand Plug-In is corded, so you’ll need to play near an outlet, but you don’t have to worry about charging it between uses.

The power cord is 8 feet long, giving you some flexibility, and comes with 4 adapters for US, AUS, EU, and UK outlets.

This wand feels solid and comfortable! The neck has some flex but doesn’t feel flimsy at all, so I’m not afraid to apply firm pressure. I love the silicone head and handle, which makes for a comfortable hold and feels luxurious.

The Le Wand Plug-In has good build quality.

The plastic handle feels well-constructed and sturdy (not somewhat thin like the Le Wand Petite’s). The neck is thick, and I’m not worried about applying firm pressure. The buttons and firm head aren’t quite as comfortable as the competing Magic Wands‘ plush heads. But overall, it seems sturdy.
