Our Verdict

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the best mini wand around $50 if you like the broad stimulation and immense power of full-sized wand vibrators. This budget-friendly mini wand has great power and good rumbliness. 

It’s short, which makes it easy to maneuver. But it has a full-sized head, providing the powerful, broad stimulation large wand vibrators are famous for. It’s significantly stronger than other wands this compact and inexpensive. I also find its first power level soft enough for a comfortable warmup.

It has easy-to-use controls that allow you to increase and decrease power using separate buttons rather than cycling through settings. I find it a bit difficult to use this wand during sex in face-to-face positions, but it works great in positions like Spooning or Doggystyle. And since its head is full-sized, it’s compatible with many wand attachments and mounts – so it’s quite versatile.

Table of Contents

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand Massager is a budget-friendly wand vibrator from Orion. It has a compact length but a full-sized head with 3 constant power levels and 4 vibration patterns. It’s made of body-safe materials with a silicone head and ABS Plastic handle. It’s IPX6 water-resistant, so you can run it under the faucet while cleaning. It’s rechargeable and uses a USB magnetic charging cable.

Compare Wand Vibrators

The Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the best wand in its price range if you like a full-sized wand’s strong, broad stimulation. It’s the most powerful wand around $50 and the most similar to expensive full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable, Magic Wand Plus, or BMS PalmPower Extreme. Some pricier mini wand vibrators have even more strength (like the Lovense Domi 2) or better comfort (like the Magic Wand Mini). But the Orion wand is an excellent value.

Vibrations: Power And Range


Max Power Rating

7.5

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:

Power Range Rating:

7.1

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 Orion Your New Favorite Wand has excellent strength and a nice range, spanning low, medium, and high powers. I’m impressed with the vibration settings for how budget-friendly this wand is.

There are only 3 intensity levels, but the highest reaches a 6.7 out of 10, which is significantly stronger than my non-wand vibrators. While there are more powerful premium wands like the PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus, the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the strongest wand I’ve tested that’s under $50. And even with its compact size, its strength is comparable to many full-sized wands.

The lowest setting is a 1.8 out of 10, which I find comfortable as a warmup. But since this setting is quite rumbly, it still impacts your whole vulva. So if you get overstimulated easily, you might consider the VeDO Wini, which begins gentler and has smaller increments between power levels.

But the Orion Your New Favorite Wand is the most budget-friendly option for those who want a more traditional wand’s strength.

Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)


Rumbliness Rating:

7.6

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:

52 Hz

(Extremely Rumbly)

Median Frequency:

67 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:

(Neutral)

Ave Power Per Frequency:

6.9

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):

We rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. The Orion Your New Favorite Wand has good rumbliness. The first two power levels have that deep, rumbly feeling, but the top strength feels more neutral.

The middle setting, with a 5.25 out of 10 vibration strength, provides a powerful, rumbly level to enjoy. And the lowest setting provides a gentle, rumbly warmup. It’s the most rumbly wand vibrator at this price point. 

If you want all the power settings to be rumbly, the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman is the next most affordable option. Unfortunately, most wands with exceptional rumbliness, like the Fun Factory Vim, come at a higher price.

Comfort & Ease Of Use


Comfort & Ease of Use Rating:

8.5

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.
