Our Verdict

While the Le Wand Petite is a decent wand, it doesn’t have the exceptional performance necessary to justify its high price tag. 

Its small size does make it convenient and easy to use alone or during sex. And it has fair performance in pretty much every aspect. But nothing is amazing – including the vibrations. Neither especially powerful, nor especially rumbly. At this price, I expected more.

Unless you just love Le Wand’s luxury aesthetic, I don’t see much reason to buy this wand over less expensive options. If you want a small wand like the Le Wand Petite, I’d consider the cheaper Magic Wand Mini or Lovense Domi instead.

Compare Wand Vibrators

Because the Le Wand Petite is expensive with only decent performance, other options are better for most people. If you’re considering the Le Wand Petite for its compact size and maneuverability, consider the Magic Wand Mini or Lovense Domi 2 instead – both mini wands are cheaper and better. If you like the Le Wand Petite’s luxury aesthetic, consider a luxury wand with exceptional performance like the Fun Factory Vim.

Vibrations: Power And Range


Max Power Rating

6.8

What is it:

How strong the wand vibrator’s highest power level feels.

When does it matter:

If you prefer the extreme power some wands offer or want to make sure your wand at least reaches a certain strength.

Scoring Factors:

Subjectively Scored

Power Range Rating:

7.0

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:

What is it:

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 Le Wand Petite’s top vibration strength is below half the power of my strongest wands. It’s still enough for me to orgasm with. But its overall strength is closer to my non-wand vibrators, like the Lelo Mona, than it is to my large wands.

This isn’t necessarily bad – many people will be happy with this level of power. I rarely use the upper settings on my strongest wands anyway. But for the price of the Le Wand Petite, I’d expect more power.

For example, the Magic Wand Mini has a touch more vibration power, and is around $50 cheaper. And Magic Wand is the most respected brand for wand vibrators.

Le Wand Petite with Stronger Wands
Less expensive wands that can achieve higher power than the Le Wand Petite (far left). Alternatives left to right: Magic Wand Mini, BMS PalmPower Extreme, and Magic Wand Plus

Or if you’re looking for immense power, the BMS PalmPower Extreme and Magic Wand Plus are twice as strong as the Le Wand Petite – and each is less expensive. 

Something I like about the Le Wand Petite is that it offers both soft, lower levels and stronger, upper levels with small increments in between. Its low levels are comfortably gentle, and there are 10 intensity levels before you reach its maximum power. So you can enjoy light stimulation when you need softer vibrations and gradually increase strength.   

But overall, the vibration power and range is simply mediocre for how expensive the wand is.

Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)


Rumbliness Rating:

6.6

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.

When does it matter:

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

Power vs Frequency Graph:

What is it:

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.

Frequency on Low Power:

48 Hz

(Extremely Rumbly)

Median Frequency:

71 Hz

(Moderately Rumbly)

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.

Frequency on High Power:

Ave Power Per Frequency:

5.3

What is it:

A measure that rewards wand vibrators that remain rumbly (low-frequency) while packing good vibration strength. Calculated for a wand using the normalized power / normalized frequency at each power level and taking the median.

When does it matter:

If you want a wand with a good balance of power and rumbliness.

Show All Scores (Click to See):

When we rate wands, we award higher scores to those with rumbly (low-frequency) vibrations and lower scores to those with buzzy (high-frequency) vibrations. But there are plenty of people who enjoy buzzy vibrations from time to time. Including me! So consider your own preferences during this discussion.

The Le Wand Petite starts out extremely rumbly on its lowest powers. But since these levels are pretty soft, most people will only use them briefly. And as the power increases, it quickly becomes less rumbly. 

All the power levels with substantial power are in the neutral range – neither rumbly nor buzzy.

This may work well for you – I personally enjoy neutral vibrations too. However, even if you like vibrations in this part of the spectrum there are better options available.

Neutral FemmeFunn and BMS PalmPower Extreme vs Extremely Rumbly Lovense Domi and Dame Com
Stronger neutral-feeling wands, the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand (aqua) and BMS PalmPower Extreme (pink. And more rumbly-feeling wands, the Lovense Domi (black) and Dame Com (purple).

The FemmeFunn Ultra Wand is a cheaper option with moderately rumbly to neutral vibrations and stronger power. Or the BMS PalmPower Extreme has rumbly lower power levels, neutral high power levels, and substantially more vibration strength.

If you prefer those deep, rumbly vibrations, consider the Lovense Domi 2 if you like high power, or the Dame Com if you enjoy moderate strength.

Comfort & Ease Of Use


Comfort & Ease of Use Rating:

8.8

What is it:

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.
