Our Verdict

The Viben Sultry is one of my favorite wand vibrators under $100. It has excellent vibrations with the immense power you expect from a full-sized wand vibrator. And though it doesn’t offer truly gentle settings, I find its lower levels enjoyable without a warmup because they’re extremely rumbly. And they stay rumbly even on its highest power!

It’s also my most comfortable full-sized wand. It’s lighter than other large wands with a slimmer, contoured handle making maneuvering it easier solo or during sex. Though it has an odd quirk where the power levels cycle from strongest to weakest, this is only a minor inconvenience. 

Overall, I recommend it as long as you already have a gentler vibrator you can use as a warmup or don’t typically need very soft levels. This wand has great power, rumbliness, and comfort at a reasonable price.

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.

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.

Though not as overwhelming as a few wands like the Magic Wand Plus or PalmPower Extreme, the Viben Sultry has excellent power topping out at 7.3 out of 10 – significantly stronger than any of my non-wand vibrators. 

Though it has 8 power levels, it begins with a fair amount of power – I can orgasm easily on any setting. The lowest level is 6.5 out of 10 – already close to its top power of 7.3. There’s nothing really soft.

Normally with a limited power range, I’d need to use a gentler toy to warm up before switching to a powerful wand. But for me, the Sultry just works! Its power range is at my ideal threshold – I find it intense, but comfortable. And I think the main reason it works for me is because of how the vibrations feel: the vibration frequency.

Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)

Performance Rating:

8.5

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.

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.

Show All Scores (Click to See):

The Viben Sultry is one of the most rumbly wand vibrators we’ve tested. Its entire power range is on the rumbly side of the spectrum, and it packs excellent strength while remaining rumbly.

The Sultry’s lowest 3 levels are extremely rumbly. This makes the wand’s powerful start feel impactful but not overwhelming. The rumbly vibrations are more widespread and comfortable while traveling deeper through your body. 

Lovense Domi 2 vs Magic Wand Rechargeable vs Viben Sultry - Vibration Power vs Frequency Graph

The top 5 power levels remain moderately rumbly, with just a bit more zing that focuses the vibrations in a tighter area. Only a few other wands reach the Sultry’s top strength of 7.3 while remaining rumbly as it does.

If you enjoy moderate to strong power and love deep, rumbly vibrations the Viben Sultry will be a good fit.

Comfort & Ease Of Use

9.2

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.

Waterproof Rating:

IPX7

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 Viben Sultry is my most comfortable full-sized wand. 

It weighs less than other large wands and has a slim, contoured silicone handle that’s comfy to grip. These features make it easier to maneuver and leverage the Sultry for firm pressure – it doesn’t feel like you’re holding a bulky wand vibrator. The slightly flexible neck also keeps the pressure comfortable without flexing so much that applying pressure becomes difficult.

The tall head provides lovely, broad stimulation. But you can also use the slight lip formed near the top of the head to apply more focused stimulation.

Viben Sultry allows Broad of Focused Stimulation
The Viben Sultry’s head can be used on the side for broad stimulation, or from the top for more focused stimulation

The Sultry’s controls are its only downside. It does not have separate buttons to increase and decrease power. You need to cycle through intensity levels using a single button, and they’re in reverse order (most powerful to least). While this is mildly annoying, the power levels are so close together that I can live with it. It’s still one of the wands I reach for the most.

The bottom button allows cycling through different power levels, and the middle button cycles through patterns

It’s also fully IPX7 waterproof, so it’s quick and easy to clean.

The Viben Sulry also works well during sex. Its tall head is still relatively slim, so it fits into tight spaces better than other full-sized wands. You also don’t need to position it very precisely because its strong, rumbly vibrations travel deep and feel impactful, even when the head is not placed right near your clit.

Its light weight is even more helpful during sex since you’re more often in positions where you’re holding the wand up, like in Doggystyle or Spooning. So it doesn’t get tiring like heavier wands. Since the Sultry is fairly long, you can also rest the base of its handle on the bed during Doggystyle to further support its weight.

Though the head is firmer than the plush silicone of the Magic Wand Rechargeable or Plus, its flexible neck keeps it comfortable during sex. 

If you enjoy the broad, powerful stimulation of full-sized wands, and want something easy to use during sex, this is one of the best options.
