Compare Wand Vibrators
The Doxy Die Cast 3R is expensive and underperforms for the price. It has no gentle settings, its vibrations are buzzy and loud, and the vibrations in the handle are distracting. If you’re looking for a compact wand, the Lovense Domi 2 or PalmPower Extreme are cheaper and better. At the Doxy 3R’s high price point, you could afford any of our top-performing wands instead.

Power Range Rating:
5.0
What is it:
How wide the range is between the highest and lowest power levels, and whether it has enough power levels that steps between levels aren’t too large.
When does it matter:
A broad power range is usually important because it enables more versatile stimulation. You can start on softer levels when your body isn’t ready for crazy strong power. But when you want more strength, you can turn it up high.

Power vs Frequency Graph:

A graph of each wand vibrator’s power vs frequency across all of its power levels.
When does it matter:
If you want a detailed look at the full power and frequency characteristics of any particular wand vibrator. This will tell you how strong and how rumbly each setting of the wand feels.
How Strong Is Each Power?
- Power ≤ 3: Comparable to the vibration strength of smaller vibrators like bullets.
- Power between 3 and 4.5: Comparable to …
(Expand Descriptions)
- Power ≤ 3: Comparable to the vibration strength of smaller vibrators like bullets.
- Power between 3 and 4.5: Comparable to the vibration strength of mid-sized, non-wand vibrators like the Lelo Mona 2, Lovense Hyphy, Lovense Lush 3, We-Vibe Nova 2, etc.
- Power between 4.5 and 7: Slightly to moderately more powerful than mid-sized, non-wand vibrators like those mentioned above.
- Power ≥ 7: Substantially stronger than other kinds of vibrators. These levels feel extremely powerful.
The Vibration Power scale is defined with a 10.0 given to the most powerful wand vibrator’s highest strength (Currently the Doxy Die Cast). So a vibration power of 8.0 feels 80% as strong as the Doxy Die Cast. A 5.0 feels 50% as strong, and so on.
The Doxy Die Cast 3R is an extremely high-powered wand vibrator. Its top power is a 7.3 out of 10 – it is substantially more powerful than non-wand vibrators you may have tried like G-spot, rabbit, egg, and bullet vibrators, etc.
There are a few more powerful wands like the BMS PalmPower Extreme and Doxy Die Cast. But the 3R is definitely intense. I prefer to use it over my underwear to dampen its power.

Something that bothers me about the Doxy 3R is that the range between its highest and lowest power is tiny. The lowest power is about 6.5 – so there are no gentle levels. Unless you’re always ready for intense power, you’ll likely need to use another vibrator as a warmup.
Both the BMS PalmPower Extreme and Doxy Die Cast have exceptional power like the Doxy 3R, but they also have low levels beginning at 2 out of 10. Even if you enjoy strong power, I recommend getting something with some low levels too.

Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
Rumbliness Rating:
6.3
What is it:
How “rumbly” (low frequency) or “buzzy” (high frequency) a wand vibrator feels at each of its power levels. And whether a wand can deliver strong vibrations while remaining reasonably rumbly. Higher scores indicate a “more rumbly” (lower-frequency) wand, since the majority of people prefer rumbliness. But ultimately vibration frequency is a personal preference.

If you prefer vibrations in a specific area along the rumbly-to-buzzy spectrum.

Frequency on Low Power:
65 Hz
(Moderately Rumbly)
Median Frequency:
92 Hz
(Moderately Buzzy)
What is it:
What part of the frequency spectrum a wand vibrator’s power levels are centered around. It’s the vibration frequency of the wand’s middle power level (the average of the two middle levels if there is an even number of settings).
When does it matter:
If you prefer vibrations in a particular part of the frequency spectrum. This is a fast way to see whether one wand’s vibration levels are generally more rumbly or buzzy than another wand’s vibration settings. Since most people prefer rumbly toys, a higher performance score implies a lower-frequency (more rumbly) wand.

When does it matter:
If you want a wand with a good balance of power and rumbliness.
Show All Scores (Click to See):
While vibration frequency is a personal preference, we give better ratings to wands with deep, rumbly (low-frequency) vibrations. We rate buzzy wands more poorly because generally, people prefer rumbliness.
The Doxy 3R has some vibrations that are moderately rumbly on the lowest powers. But you have to apply some pressure in order for these levels to feel rumbly. The 3R’s motor slows down quite a bit when you press it against you. Without this pressure, even the lowest levels feel buzzy.
Most of the Doxy Die Cast 3R’s settings feel moderately to extremely buzzy. With this much power, I need more rumbliness. The 3R’s ultra-powerful buzzy vibrations feel overwhelming and uncomfortable to me.

Many equally powerful wands vibrate at a lower frequency, which keeps them comfortable and enjoyable. Some of my favorites include the BMS PalmPower Extreme, Fun Factory Vim, Viben Sultry, and Lovense Domi 2.

Comfort & Ease Of Use
Comfort & Ease of Use Rating:
7.9

How comfortable the wand is to hold and press against your body. As well as how easy it is to press the buttons, leverage the wand for good pressure, and maneuver it to apply the stimulation where and how you want it. This rating also includes how easy the wand is to clean. Ratings are based primarily on solo use – I cover use during partnered sex here.
When does it matter:
If you are easily distracted by subtle discomforts such as feeling the vibrations in your hands, slight wrist strain, or an awkward grip on the handle. It also matters if you want a wand that’s easy to use for a wide variety of stimulation or for long periods of time.
These wands have excellent performance in this category and others. We only include wands we recommend overall, excluding wands that perform well here but not in other areas.

Waterproof Rating:
No Rating
What is it:
The waterproof rating of the wand vibrator – IPX7, IPX6, or No Rating
When does it matter:
When you plan to use your wand vibrator in the shower or want simpler cleaning.
- IPX7 (Submersible): Wands with this rating are considered “waterproof.” You can submerge them in water up to a meter deep for up to 30 minutes. So you can use them in the bath and cleaning is easy.
- IPX6 (Splashproof): Wands with this rating can resist high-pressure, heavy sprays of water, but should not be fully submerged. This means you can use them in the shower (but not submerged in a bath). You can also clean them under a sink faucet without worry.
- No Rating: These wands do not have a waterproof rating. You should not use them in the shower, and you must be careful to keep water away from electronic components when cleaning them .
The Doxy Die Cast 3R is not the most comfortable wand.
It’s a comfortable size, and its controls are good – allowing you to increase and decrease the power. But you feel the Doxy 3R’s vibrations in your hands far too much (an issue that’s not as prevalent in the plug-in version – the Doxy Die Cast 3). It’s distracting and unpleasant.
The head comfort is average. You can fit its small head comfortably in tight spaces. But since the 3R’s head is so firm, I wish its neck was more flexible.
Overall, there are several powerful wands that transfer the vibrations to your vulva without vibrating your hands. Consider these options:
The Viben Sultry has a more comfortable head with a more flexible neck. The handle is also contoured to provide a very comfy grip.
The BMS PalmPower Extreme is another easy-to-use, and comfortable option. I especially love the angled head on this wand. It makes it easy to apply firm pressure without any wrist strain.

Or the Lovense Domi 2 has a small head to fit in tight spaces like the Doxy 3R. But it’s more flexible and comfortable.

No sugar-coating this one. The Doxy Die Cast 3R comes in dead last for use durings sex.
As with solo use, the biggest issue is feeling the vibrations way too much in your hands. It’s also a little heavy and tiring to hold.
The Doxy Die Cast 3R’s head is also very firm. With a lot of movement during sex, the firm head bumps uncomfortably into my pubic bone – especially in positions where my partner and I are facing each other.
If you’re looking for a wand to use during sex, there are much better options out there.
The Lovense Domi 2 is a similar size and shape to the Doxy 3R – so it also fits easily between your bodies. But the flexible neck keeps it from pressing uncomfortably against my body. It’s one of my favorites during sex.


Another of my favorites is the BMS PalmPower Extreme. Even though its head is larger than the Doxy 3R’s, its angled shape makes it easy to fit between our bodies and comfortably leverage the wand.

Lastly, we tested the highest power while music was playing in the bedroom.

The Doxy Die Cast 3R is somewhat loud. Because it doesn’t have any truly gentle levels, even its lowest settings produce a fair amount of noise.
However, my partner still cannot hear the lower and middle levels from the other side of a closed bedroom door. But he can hear the Doxy 3R’s upper power levels. Even turning on a box fan does not mask the sound of the 3R on high. It took turning music on in the bedroom to finally make the 3R inaudible on high.
This might be ok if you plan to stick to the lower levels or if you don’t live with other people.
But if you need something more discreet, the Viben Sultry has the same strength, and its rumbly vibrations were not audible from the other side of a closed door at any power level!

For a mid-sized wand, the Doxy Die Cast 3R has excellent compatibility with wand attachments.
Doxy makes their own high-quality attachments for the Doxy 3R and Doxy Number 3. You can unscrew the Doxy 3R’s head, and screw one of the Doxy’s attachments directly to the motor. So these attachments have an incredibly secure fit.
Doxy makes clitoral, dual-stimulation, prostate, and penis attachments that screw directly onto the 3R’s head.
You can also use some other brands’ attachments with the Doxy Die Cast 3R. For instance, all the attachments designed for the Le Wand Petite also fit over the 3R’s head. These brands will simply slip on top of the default head – they won’t screw into place as the Doxy brand’s attachments do.
So between Le Wand and Doxy’s attachments, you have a broad variety of options to use with the Doxy 3R.

I test my wands with Liberator’s wand mounts – the Axis and Wanda.
The Doxy Die Cast 3R works really well with the Wanda mount. This mount holds the wand upright at a slight angle. Then you straddle the mount for hands-free clit stimulation. You can also bend over the mount on your knees for clitoral vibes during sex.
The 3R is a great length for the Wanda – its head sticks out just a little past the fabric. This means I can sit directly on the mount and don’t need to keep my body raised as I do with some taller wands.
The 3R doesn’t work as well with the Axis though. This mount is designed for you to lie on your stomach. It holds the wand out to the side and angled slightly upward between your legs. I use this mount most during penetration from behind.

Because the 3R lacks an upward curve and its head is fairly small, it doesn’t stay in good contact with my clit. Wands with wider, taller heads or a curved/angled handle work best with the Liberator Axis.

The Dame Com and BMS PalmPower Extreme are two of my favorites to use with mounts! Both have that curved handle or angled head, which keeps better contact with my clit.

The Doxy Die Cast 3R lasts for about 75 minutes continuously running on high power.
Though this is one of the shorter battery lives of my wand vibrators, it’s plenty for most people. But if you’re like me, and often forget to charge between uses… there are definitely longer-lasting wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable which lasts over 4 hours on high.
Or of course, if you want the highest power with no battery limits, there are several plug-in options including the Doxy Number 3 and the Doxy Die Cast.
Build Quality

What is it:
Our perception of the wand vibrator’s durability and material quality; whether it feels cheap or sturdy and long-lasting. If we noticed any decline in a wand’s performance over our months of testing, it is accounted for in its Build Quality rating.
When does it matter:
When you want a wand vibrator to last for years. Many wand vibrator manufacturers provide a warranty (usually 1 to 2 years), but a higher quality wand vibrator is more likely to endure after your warranty is expired.
