The We-Vibe Wand 2 has an intense top power of 7.33 out of 10 and an excellent power range, starting at a gentle 1.7 out of 10 strength.

This power range is wonderful for those who can get easily overstimulated because its lowest settings are very mild. With 10 intensity levels, steps between settings are gradual and comfortable. There’s one little jump, but it’s not distracting at all. And with such a broad range, you’re very likely to find settings at your ideal strength.

While there are some wands with an even more intense top setting, the We-Vibe Wand 2’s maximum strength of 7.33 is plenty for me. It’s about 1.2x stronger than the original We-Vibe Wand, and it packs an intensity that I consider extreme. Plus, since this wand is rumbly, the vibrations are especially impactful.

If you want more intensity, consider the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Lovense Domi 2. But most people will be happy with the We-Vibe Wand 2’s power.

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 higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent rumbliness. Its vibrations are even deeper than the original version’s (which was famous for being a rumbly wand). And the updated wand’s settings are stronger while being more rumbly which is a great improvement.

Every power level is extremely or moderately rumbly except for the top strength, which has a neutral feel – this wand never becomes buzzy.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 also has a very similar vibration profile to the famous Magic Wand Rechargeable. If you look at the graph below, notice how the two wands’ vibrations lie along nearly the same curve. Since their vibrations are so similar, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is a great waterproof alternative to the Magic Wand Rechargeable, which has no water protection.

If you enjoy deep vibrations that travel into your body and impact a wide area, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is one of the best choices.

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.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the We-Vibe app’s Close-Range Features, its Long-Distance Features, and its Connectivity in detail, and I’ll share videos demoing the app.

But here’s the main conclusion:

The We-Vibe app’s close-range features are decent for controlling the We-Vibe Wand 2.

The close-range features provide useful but basic control over your vibrations – mainly allowing you to select from preset patterns and change their intensity. Whereas other apps like Lovense’s provide a higher degree of customization, letting you create your own patterns in the moment, enjoy patterns other users have shared, and much more.

If in-depth control of your vibrations is a priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is a better wand for you. But if more basic control is fine, here’s what you can do in We-Vibe’s app:

In Single Vibe Mode, you select a predesigned vibration pattern, then drag the on-screen dot up or down to change the intensity.

If you want to change quickly between different vibration patterns, use the Multi-Vibe mode. Here, you can assign a different vibration pattern to each corner of the screen. When you drag the dot into a corner, that pattern starts vibrating. Drag the dot farther from the center to make the vibrations more powerful.

You used to be able to create your own pattern by drawing it on the screen, but this feature was very clunky and is no longer available. Instead, you can create your own custom “playlist” by combining pre-made patterns and adjusting their intensity and duration. We don’t know whether We-Vibe intends to bring back an improved pattern creation feature in the future.

Touch Mode lets you control the vibration intensity by moving your fingers across your screen. The faster you move, the stronger the vibrations are. It’s tiring, so I don’t use this feature.

Beat Mode lets you select a song saved on your phone, and the We-Vibe Wand vibrates to the music. Ambient Mode is similar, but the vibrations respond to the noise around you that your phone’s mic picks up. With both of these features, you can adjust whether the vibrations respond to the treble, midrange, or bass sounds, and you can adjust how strong the vibrations are.

I usually use these sound modes (especially Beat Mode) as a set-it-and-forget-it way to control my We-Vibe toys. The vibrations continually change without my active input. But it’s usually more fun with a wearable toy like the We-Vibe Chorus or We-Vibe Sync.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 (and the original version) are my only app-controlled wands with full-sized heads. The main control screens (Single Vibe and Multi Vibe) work well – they’re just basic. So if you want a full-sized wand with app control as a bonus, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is a good choice.
But if the app is your biggest priority, I recommend the Lovense Domi 2 instead. It’s a smaller wand but has better app functionality and features.

When you can get connected with your partner, the We-Vibe app’s long-distance features are pretty good – but there are some connection issues during long-distance play that are not present during nearby play (I discuss that issue in detail in the Connectivity section).

Within the app, you can send messages, photos, or video chat with your partner anywhere in the world. Your long-distance partner will use the same Single or Multi-Vibe control panels that you use during close-range play. So they can easily select a pattern and adjust its intensity.

You can mute the mic or turn off the camera if you’d prefer to provide control of your wand without sharing visuals or audio. And if your partner has a We-Vibe toy, you can control each others’ toys simultaneously!

You can save multiple partners in the app, but you can’t send out anonymous links like you can with Lovense. Anyone controlling your toy will need your We-Vibe username.

Overall, We-Vibe’s app provides all the necessary long-distance features. But Lovense’s features are more extensive, allowing anonymous play, customized settings for each partner such as allowing them to take control of your toy without requiring permission first, and more.

So if long-distance play is a major priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is a better wand (also because its long-distance connection is better – discussed next).

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has reliable connectivity with the app in nearby Bluetooth mode, but its connection during long-distance play is unreliable.

For nearby play, the wand connects quickly and easily to the app over Bluetooth. The app walks you through connecting to your toy each time, and the process works consistently. I reliably pair the We-Vibe Wand in just a few seconds. And once it’s connected, it maintains the connection well. I don’t encounter issues with it dropping its connection, even after long periods of time.

In our test, we also separated the We-Vibe Wand 2 from the connected phone by about 275 feet before it lost its connection (your own results may vary). So, the Bluetooth range is excellent.

However, the connection during long-distance play is unreliable due to a glitch in the We-Vibe app that has appeared on and off over the years. If you need reliable long-distance play, get the Lovense Domi 2 instead.

The We-Vibe app sometimes shows both partners’ status as “offline” even though we are both online. When this glitch happens, you cannot share control of your wand at all because the app won’t let you send an invite to your partner. When this issue has occurred, we’ve tried several workarounds with limited success. Neither updating the app, deleting the We-Vibe app and redownloading it, nor trying to create a new partner profile have resolved the issue. What has worked for us is this:

1. Both partners need to open the settings tab in the We-Vibe app and select Factory Reset.
2. Then when you go to connect your We-Vibe Wand 2, you will be prompted to update the vibrator’s firmware. Go ahead and update it.
3. Then, re-add your partner in the We-Vibe app. At this point, we’ve been able to connect again long-distance.

We don’t know whether this solution universally works for everyone, but it’s what has worked for us. Anytime we get connected, we’re able to stay connected. But as you can see, getting connected in the first place is often frustrating.

We-Vibe also updates their app frequently. Sometimes, it seems to take care of this issue, and we go weeks or months without experiencing the glitch. But then one day, we log into the app, and the issue returns. So we recommend Lovense if long-distance play is a priority since they have been consistently excellent for years.

For nearby play, we have had several years of consistently great connection from We-Vibe. But their long-distance connection has not proven to have the same reliability.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is very comfortable and easy to use.

This wand has better controls than most wand vibrators, with four primary buttons. It has two separate buttons to increase and decrease power. And two more buttons allow you to move forward and backward through the patterns. Most other wands only have a single button to rotate through patterns, which can be frustrating if you accidentally click once too far.

In my opinion, the buttons are an improvement from the original We-Vibe Wand’s joystick, which was quite stiff. So, I often had to use two hands to adjust the power of the original We-Vibe Wand. And it was easy to overshoot your intended power level. This isn’t so with the updated version.

The buttons to change the patterns also feel distinctly different from those to adjust the power, which is rare. So I don’t accidentally change the pattern when trying to increase the intensity because you can tell the correct button just from its feel.

The rigid, curved handle and slightly flexible neck make it easy to leverage the wand and apply pressure. And the head’s slight plushness keeps this pressure against your body comfortable – though it’s not quite as soft as the Magic Wand Rechargeable’s silicone.

A slight annoyance is that the handle’s curve rests awkwardly in my hand if I use it with the curve facing toward me. In this orientation, the handle only contacts the outside edge of my palm and the space between my thumb and index finger, so the pressure is not dispersed evenly along the full length of my palm as most handles do. It may feel a bit awkward – especially if you’re using it for a long time.

I prefer using it with the curve pointing away from me because gripping it this way is more comfortable. This also points the tapered section of the head towards me, which is great for more focused pressure, which I enjoy.

The vibrations travel some into your hand, especially on the highest power. It’s less than most wands this strong, but for those who are already sensitive to this, it may be slightly distracting if you use this wand for an extended period.

The shape of the We-Vibe Wand 2’s head was updated, and I love the new design because it’s more versatile. The original version’s head was a more typical cylindrical shape, so you got broad pressure from the side of the head or more focused pressure using the lip.

The new wand’s head offers even more variation because it’s wider on the front side, narrower on the back side, and still has the lip at the top. So using the front of the head, you get very broad contact that blankets your entire vulva. The tapered backside provides a long stretch of slimmer surface area that’s between broad and focused stimulation. And the lip at the top lets you limit contact to a more precise spot.

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.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is excellent to use during sex.

It’s fantastic in the Spooning position because you have plenty of space in front of you to maneuver the handle, and the tall head applies comfortable, evenly distributed pressure.

Even in positions facing your partner where space is limited, you can still get good contact in pretty tight spots because the cylindrical head shape and tapered section help it fit more easily than large, rounded heads. And even when you can’t fit the head right near your clit, the rumbly vibrations travel well in any position, so the stimulation is still excellent.

The only position I found a bit trickier to use the We-Vibe Wand 2 is Doggystyle. The wand is a little heavy, and since the handle is somewhat short, you can’t easily prop the base against the bed to support the weight. However, you can put a pillow under the wand if your arm gets tired from holding it up.

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 We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent noise levels, especially considering its power.

When we tested the wand’s noise while I used it in the bedroom, my partner could not hear it from the other side of the door on any of its settings, including the highest power. It’s fantastic if you need something discreet without sacrificing power.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 also has a unique optional feature called Smart Silence, which prevents the wand from vibrating unless pressed against your body. This can also be helpful for discretion since many toys are louder when vibrating in the open air than when pressed to your body (In our tests, it was quiet enough even without using the Smart Silence feature, but this gives you an extra level of reassurance).

The Smart Silence feature works well. The vibrations start and stop instantly upon pressing it to my body and lifting it off. And it can tell whether the head is in contact with me or some other random object. If you do not like this feature, it’s easy to turn off.

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 We-Vibe Wand 2 works wonderfully with wand attachments.

Its head size is close to major full-sized wands like the Magic Wands or Doxy Wands, so most attachments are designed for heads about this size. You can find a ton of compatible attachments that offer a broad range of stimulation.

Unfortunately, the We-Vibe Wand 2 does not come with its own attachments like the original version did. However, the old We-Vibe Wand’s attachments are compatible with the new one!

To see all the attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with the We-Vibe Wand 2, head to our wand attachment compatibility table here.

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.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is fantastic in my wand mounts. We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play.

You can face the curve in either direction when placed in the Wanda mount, which makes the We-Vibe Wand 2 especially versatile. One direction positions the wand’s head higher up so you can kneel over the mount for penetration from behind. Or face the wand the other way so the head lies just above the mount’s fabric – this way, you can comfortably sit directly on the mount for hands-free stimulation.

It also works well in the Liberator Axis. The tall head and slight upward curve help it reach your clit more easily than other wands. And the broad head provides plenty of good surface area for comfortable, enjoyable stimulation. It doesn’t provide as firm of pressure as a more sharply angled head like the BMS PalmPower Extreme’s, but it’s still excellent. The deep, rumbly vibrations also travel deep to stimulate really well.

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 We-Vibe Wand 2 is rechargeable and has a fantastic battery life, lasting 147 minutes on its highest power in our test. This is well above average and plenty of time for me. I can use it multiple times between charges.

It comes with We-Vibe’s typical USB magnetic charging cable.

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 We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent build quality. The buttons feel much higher quality than the joystick control of the original We-Vibe Wand. The motor sounds better and doesn’t rattle like the older one.

The silky silicone coats most of the toy and feels very luxurious, with plush sections on the head that are really comfortable. It feels like a solid and well-built toy. The neck seems very secure too – I apply pressure without feeling worried I’ll damage the wand.

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.
