The O-Wand’s average performance makes it not worth the expensive price tag. Less expensive premium wands have excellent vibrations and actually feel more luxurious, including the Magic Wand Rechargeable, the Fun Factory Vim, and the BMS PalmPower Extreme. And even a few cheap wand vibrators outperform the O-wand, such as the Orion Your New Favorite Wand.
See all our recommendations for the best wand vibrators, the best rechargeable wand vibrators, and the best waterproof wand vibrators.
Vibrations: Power And Range
The O-wand has a good power range, starting off gentle (1.9 of 10 vibration strength) and working through four levels to a top power of 7.3. Its top strength is extremely powerful and substantially stronger than any non-wand vibrator I own.
The first gentle setting provides a good warm up, and I often finish on the second power. I usually don’t need to use the third or fourth levels as the first two are powerful enough.
But while the O-wand’s power is good, there’s no reason to pay this much for it. Several cheaper wands have an even better power range including the Magic Wand Plus, Magic Wand Rechargeable, and BMS PalmPower Extreme.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
Frequency on Low Power: 54 Hz (Extremely Rumbly)
Median Frequency: 83 Hz (Neutral)
Frequency on High Power: 102 Hz (Moderately Buzzy)
Most people prefer rumbly vibrations, so we rate these wands higher. But your preferences may vary, so consider what you enjoy.
The O-wand begins extremely rumbly on its lowest power. But every level after feels neutral or buzzy. If you are one of the folks who enjoy buzzy vibrations, then you may really enjoy this! The O-wand’s not so buzzy that it’s overwhelming, but I still prefer wands with deeper vibrations.
If you usually prefer rumbly wands, you’ll be better off considering the comparably powerful, but more rumbly Magic Wand Rechargeable or BMS PalmPower Extreme.
Comfort & Ease of Use
Waterproof Rating: IPX7
The O-wand is one of the largest, heaviest wand massagers which makes it more difficult to maneuver than others.
And I think the handle shape compounds this difficulty. The O-wand has a looped handle, intended to make holding the wand more comfortable. And while the unique shape of some wands like the PalmPower Extreme actually helps, I find the O-wand’s looped handle awkward. It makes the handle too wide, and I can’t find a comfortable spot to grip and leverage the O-Wand.
The looped handle could be a personal preference. And perhaps with more use, I might adapt to it. But the O-wand just isn’t one of my favorite wands, so I don’t reach for it.
The larger head is quite firm, which is great for applying pressure. But it would be more comfortable if it were plusher. Its wide surface is best for broad stimulation over focused.
The buttons on this wand are fairly easy to press, but you have to cycle through the vibration powers. I prefer wands that let decrease the power level instead of looping through all the higher settings first. But since there are only 4 powers on this, it isn’t too problematic.
The vibration patterns are controlled with a separate button from the intensity levels. I appreciate this because I don’t often use patterns. So when looping through settings to get back to a softer power, I don’t have to pass through a flurry of random patterns taking me out of the mood.
Use During Sex
The O-wand is going to be a struggle for most people during sex due to its size and weight. It takes up a lot of room and gets tiring to hold – especially since the handle makes it more awkward to grip.
I have the most success in Cowgirl and Spooning positions. In Cowgirl, the long handle has more room to move around without getting in the way. And the round head has a very slight taper, which can squeeze into slightly tighter spots in those positions.
While Spooning I’ve found that I can rest the handle against the bed to support the O-wand’s weight. So it helps a bit with the heaviness issue.
I find Doggystyle very difficult with the O-wand. I want to rest the bottom of the handle against the bed, but the curved handle makes this difficult. So I have a hard time getting the head to maintain good clitoral contact – my arm gets very tired trying to keep the O-wand’s head pressed to my clit.
Noise
Decibels on Low Power: 43.4 dB
Decibels on High Power: 49.7 dB
Low Power: Audible
Middle Power: Audible
High Power: Audible
High Power with Box Fan: Inaudible
High Power with Music: Inaudible
The O-wand body massager is fairly noisy. When we tested whether my partner could hear it from the other side of a closed door – he heard the O-wand on every power level.
You can mask its sound by turning on a box fan or playing music. This made it so that my partner couldn’t hear it even on high. So you can still use it discreetly if you take some extra precautions.
But there are comparably powerful, quieter wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Viben Sultry among others.
Attachment Compatibility
The O-wand has good compatibility with wand attachments. It comes with its own attachment that adds some texture for clit stimulation. And since it’s a full-sized wand most attachments designed for the Magic Wand brand fit the O-wand.
However, the O-wand’s head has a slightly tapered shape to it, which causes a few attachments to fit loosely. They’re still useable, but not a perfect fit. But overall you’ll be able to find something enjoyable. There are compatible attachments for a broad variety of stimulation.
Below are the attachments we’ve tested and found compatible with the O-wand.
Mount Compatibility
I test each of my wands with Liberator’s mounts for hands-free stimulation (something I really enjoy).
Unfortunately, the O-wand body massager is not compatible with either mount. The large, looped handle prevents it from fitting into each mount’s slot designed to hold a wand vibrator.
My favorite for mount use is the BMS PalmPower Extreme.
Battery Life
Power Source: Rechargeable
Battery Life on High Power: 215 Minutes
Can Be Used While Plugged In: No
Charging Cable: Magnetic
The O-wand is rechargeable and can last about 215 minutes continuously vibrating on its highest power. This is longer than average, but there are others that match it.
Build Quality
The O-wand has a sturdy construction and feels well-made. The handle is durable and the head can take firm pressure without feeling strained at all.
The buttons feel slightly cheap, but overall, I expect this wand to last.

Review Results
The O-wand body massager is my most expensive wand, but it’s not one I enjoy. My main problem is that I find its awkward handle difficult to grip and the heavy weight makes it tiring to hold. And it just has average performance in most areas – nothing spectacular to justify the high price.
I’d consider any of the wands below with better performance at more affordable prices.
Compare Alternatives
Magic Wand Rechargeable
The Magic Wand Rechargeable has comparable vibration strength with soft low levels, and powerful upper levels. But its vibrations are more rumbly overall. It’s easier to hold, has better controls, has a comfortable plush head, and is it’s less expensive. This is one of the most famous wands for good reason. And it’s one of my favorites.
BMS PalmPower Extreme
The BMS PalmPower Extreme is another one of my favorite wands, and it’s about half the cost of the O-wand. It has a stronger top power, with several lower and mid-range strengths too. The vibrations are more rumbly than the O-wand. And it’s reasonably compact and lightweight making it easier to maneuver than the O-wand. I find it much more comfortable. And the PalmPower Extreme is less expensive.
