Our Verdict

The Lovense Domi 2 is the only small wand I own that matches the extreme strength of powerful full-sized wands. I only need its lower and middle levels myself. And its vibrations have excellent rumbliness. 

The Domi’s short length, small head, and light weight make it easier to maneuver and fit into tight spaces than a full-sized wand, making it one of my favorites to use during sex. You can also share control with a nearby or long-distance partner through the Lovense Remote app. My partner and I have app-controlled vibrators from many brands, and Lovense has the best app experience and connectivity by far. 

With its unrivaled strength for a small wand and its extreme versatility due to its compact size and app, the Lovense Domi 2 is an excellent choice for many people.

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.

Note: The vibration levels shown on the Power vs Frequency Graph are taken by increasing the power in 10% increments using the Lovense Remote app from 0% to 100%. The Lovense Domi’s power maxes out when the app’s display reads 80% so only 8 levels are shown.   

The Lovense Domi 2 is the most powerful small wand vibrator I’ve found (we consider wands less than 10 inches long, weighing under 11 ounces to be small). It’s just as powerful as the full-sized Magic Wand Rechargeable and other large wands. 

Lovense Domi Smaller But Similar Strength to Large Magic Wand Rechargeable
The Lovense Domi (left) reaches the same top strength as the Magic Wand Rechargeable (right), though it’s much smaller

While most small wands are only slightly stronger than other vibrators (like G-spot and rabbit vibrators), the Domi is substantially more powerful. I typically use just its lower and middle levels to orgasm, finding its top few settings too intense for me. But if you like extreme power, this wand can deliver it. 

It also has a fairly broad power range with some softer low levels, though you need to use the Lovense Remote app to access its gentlest settings. The physical buttons access just 3 of the motor’s 16 levels, beginning around 40% power. If you need gentle stimulation while warming up, you may need to use the app, but I find the on-toy settings comfortable personally.   

Lovense Domi Power Button Starts at 40 Strength
The lowest power the Domi reaches when controlled by the on-handle buttons is actually already at 40% strength on the Lovense app

When using the app to control the Domi, you can slide a dot along the screen to increase and decrease its power. This allows you to move through settings gradually and comfortably at your pace.

Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)

Performance Rating:

9.6

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.

Show All Scores (Click to See):

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy vibes, since most people prefer rumbliness. But preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy!

The Lovense Domi is an extremely rumbly wand through most of its power range, only becoming moderately rumbly on its highest settings. 

Head Size Comparison of Magic Wand Rechargeable and Lovense Domi
The Lovense Domi’s small head (right) allows for more focused stimulation compared to wands with larger heads

These vibrations travel deep and feel impactful. Rumbly vibrations like this feel widespread and affect the entire area. But unlike large rumbly wands, the Domi’s small head allows you to press them into a more focused area. As a result, you get both broad stimulation from the intense rumbliness and targeted stimulation from the smaller head. This is fairly unique to the Lovense Domi, and something I really enjoy about this wand.

Additional Features

I have many remote and app-controlled toys, and the Lovense App is by far my favorite of any brand. Lovense’s app provides the most control, is the easiest to use, and has the most reliable connectivity.

In the main remote screen, you’ll control the Domi by dragging its corresponding dot up and down to adust the power. This screen makes it easy to set your Domi exactly at your preferred intensity or quickly create your own patterns. Tap “Float” to keep the Domi’s power constant. Or click “Loop” to quickly repeat the pattern you draw on-screen. We’ve found similar features in other apps to be much clunkier than Lovense’s implementation. 

Lovense Domi Loop and Float in Use

If you don’t want to draw your own pattern, you can choose a preset pattern or select from the hundreds of patterns other Lovense users have designed and shared. 

You can also sync the Domi’s vibrations with songs saved on your phone using the Music feature. While Spotify streaming was once an option too, Spotify discontinued compatibility with third-party apps in 2022. So no brands’ app controlled vibrators have this capability anymore. 

With the Sound feature, the Domi vibrates in response to ambient sounds picked up by your phone’s mic. You can adjust the sensitivity to control how much sound is required for the Domi to react. Lastly, you can set an alarm to cause the Domi to vibrate at a specific time.

Overall, the Lovense app provides a wide variety of ways to play, and their implementation is more intuitive than other brands.

App Control: Long Distance Features

Performance Rating:

9.4

What is it:

The quality of the app’s long-distance features (with a partner anywhere in the world). This includes its long-distance control functionality, in-app video chatting capabilities, versatility, and ease of use. You’ll also want to consider its connectivity.

When does it matter:

When you want to share control of your toy with a partner farther away than the toy’s Bluetooth range. You can connect with a partner anywhere in the world using the app’s long-distance mode as long as you each have wifi or cell data.

The Lovense app also lets you connect with a long-distance partner anywhere in the world using Wifi or cell data. Lovense’s long distance experience is also the best of any app-control brand.

Your long distance partner has access to many of the same features you have during nearby play. They’ll control your Domi’s vibrations with the same Remote screen. They can use “Float” to set your Domi at a constant power or use “Loop” to create vibrations patterns.

Lovense Domi Video Call through Lovense App

You can video chat or message each other within the Lovense app – you don’t need to have a separate video app open on your phone. The control screen overlays on the video and if you’d rather see your partner better you can minimize the controls.

Lovense Domi Generating Anonymous Link
Generating an anonymous control link with the Lovense Domi through the Lovense app

Lovense has some additional long-distance features over other brands. You can save multiple partners, not just one (though We-Vibe and Satisfyer also allow multiple partners now). And you can generate an anonymous control link for one-time use. So you can provide someone control of your Domi for 5 minutes (or any amount of time you choose). When the time is up, they cannot control your Domi anymore.

Bluetooth Connectivity Range

Perhaps the greatest reason Lovense is our favorite app-controlled vibrator brand is that their bluetooth connectivity is the most reliable.

The initial pairing between the Domi and the app is fast. I turn the Domi on, click “Add new toy,” and my phone finds the Domi in seconds. After the first time you’ve paired the toy and app, they typically connect immediately upon turning the wand on and opening the Lovense app. It’s a faster and more reliable pairing process than I’ve experienced with other apps. 

Once I’m connected, the Domi stays connected. Though a disruption can occasionally occur, I can typically play over half an hour without experiencing any disconnections. When the connection does drop, it typically repairs automatically within seconds. 

Connectivity is excellent in long-distance mode too unless you or your partner has poor Wifi or a bad cell signal. It works like this: you will connect to the Domi wand using your phone’s Bluetooth, the same as if you’re controlling the Domi yourself. Then your partner will connect to your phone over the internet (using Wifi or cell data). So your phone’s connection to the Domi is the same high quality as in Bluetooth mode. The rest comes down to your and your long-distance partner’s internet reliability or cell signal.

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 .

As a compact wand, the Lovense Domi 2 is easier to maneuver than bulkier, heavier full-sized wands. Its head is even smaller than most mini wands making it especially great for precise stimulation or to fit in tight spaces.

Though the head is less plush than squishy wands like the Magic Wand Mini, its neck has good flexibility which keeps the contact with my body comfortable even when I’m applying firm pressure. 

The handle can vibrate a bit during use. But this happens mostly on its lower powers. Since these settings are gentler and very rumbly, I don’t find it distracting. The handle is also slimmer than most wands, so it’s easier to grip and leverage with one hand.

Handle Width of Lovense Domi vs Lovehoney Plug In Wand
The slimmer handle of the Lovense Domi (left) is easier to grip than thicker handled wands like the Lovehoney Deluxe Plug In Wand

There are separate buttons to increase and decrease the power, so you don’t need to cycle through intensity levels as you do with many other wands. But if you want access to its full power range, you need to control it through the app. 

The Domi is also IPX6 splashproof so cleaning it is easy. It can safely resist high-pressure water, so you can clean it under a running faucet.

The Lovense Domi’s small size and powerful, rumbly vibrations make it one of my favorites to use during sex.

It’s not heavy like many full-sized wands, so supporting its weight in positions like Doggystyle and Spooning is easy. And since the head is so small, without sacrificing vibration power, it fits easily into tight spaces. With many full-sized wands, I need to adjust my body to accommodate the wand in certain positions. For instance, I may need to lean backward in Cowgirl to fit a large head between our bodies. But I can fit the Domi between us without thinking or adjusting.

The flexible neck also keeps it comfortable during sex. Using more rigid wands like the Lovehoney Deluxe Plug-In Wand often puts uncomfortable pressure on my pubic bone as my partner and I move during sex. The Domi’s neck has enough flex to keep it comfortable, but it’s stiff enough that it doesn’t take effort to leverage the toy for better pressure.

The shorter handle is also helpful during sex. It provides plenty of length to get a firm grip, but it doesn’t stick out far enough to interfere with our bodies or take up too much space.

I also love the deep, rumbly vibrations, because they travel deeper into my body and stimulate my clit indirectly – even if I don’t have the wand’s head placed right by my clit. This makes it so that it’s not always necessary to position the Domi’s head in a precise spot during sex.

Unfortunately, this wand is loud. It doesn’t distract me when using it, but if you live with others you’ll need to be discreet. When testing a wand’s noise, I have my partner listen on the other side of our closed bedroom door to learn whether he can hear the vibrations. My partner could hear the Domi even on low power.

So it’s best to use this wand when you’re home alone or people aren’t directly in the next room. However, when I turned on a box fan or music in the bedroom, my partner could no longer hear the Domi on any power. So you do have some options.
