Le Wand Rechargeable Massage Wand Vibrator
After being lucky enough to receive a few small Le Wand testers thanks to Lovehoney, I’ve been overly impressed by the brand’s quality and presentation which attracted me to more of their wares. I already own the LH Mains Wand, but I barely use it since it’s an absolute bastard to clean. Damn those head ridges! While their own smooth version is available, I decided to wait until I got my birthday discount to splash out on the Le Wand instead. So did the branding hold up? Did it deliver? You bet your clit it did!
The overall quality is excellent with a sturdy box that screams “Open me up, Scotty!” Shame on the wand case, though. Well, it’s more of a giant pencil case by how thin it is. I’m sure it will keep dust out, but it isn’t going to protect much. I was hoping it would be more like the faux leather ones the Desire toys come with. To be honest, it’s rare I put it away. It’s usually out on the side and ready for another romp when I need it.
It’s a pity LH don’t offer more colours as they come in a truly beautiful variety on their home soil. I actually wanted the grey version, but unfortunately, it was out of stock the day before I ordered it. Sod’s law, I know. I’m still happy with the white version, though. It looks fresh, clean and feminine with the complementing rose gold edges. Dirt is easier to spot which can make for a more thorough clean, too. It doesn’t like water so I just spray some toy cleaner on a cotton pad and do a quick wipe over the head and body. This is a massive perk as the cleaning effort was what put me off my LH wand and now I have no such excuse. No ridges to worry about, so it’s smooth cleaning all round.
It’s so liberating to not have any wires tying me down. This is the first rechargeable toy I’ve come across that uses a mains plug and not a USB. It also comes with a variety of clip-on adaptors for different outlets and a travel lock in case you wanted to go globetrotting with it. Although, from the sheer size alone it may not be the ideal stowaway. The extra power allows it to be more reliable. This thing just won’t quit and I’ve been using it for ages without it dying on me yet. My clit isn’t a fan of super strong vibes so this probably helps the lifespan. I’m very content with the lower intensities, but even they are pretty vigorous.
The huge smooth head is perfect for broad stimulation and it gets me off very quickly when mixed with the deep, penetrating vibes. Sometimes it can get too intense so I have to adjust it further away from my clit. A little getting used to, but it always ends up hitting my sweet spots just right. Ooof! And those ride-outs can be heaven to boot. The instructions state it shouldn’t be used for more than 15 minutes at a time. Damn! I’m lucky to even last 2 minutes before I need a break so I haven’t had to worry about this limit. The only occasions I’ve struggled is when I’ve already cum hard prior as I’m sadly not built for quick succession multiple orgasms.
I probably don’t need to point out that big toys often make a bigger racket. Well, yeah. It’s a wand level rattle that you’d expect, but you get used to it quickly. I’ve definitely had smaller vibes that sounded way worse. It rumbles ‘n’ growls slightly if you press it against something else like another toy or pubic bone. With that much power you shouldn’t need to put that much pressure on it to do that, though.
Despite the size and weight, it isn’t that cumbersome. I always use it by laying on my back while lifting the tail end so the head rests on me. I’ve never had a cramp from it as I don’t last long enough to get to that point. The neck is the right stiffness and looks way better than the ridgy ones in my opinion.
The controls are easy to understand with the top and bottom buttons increasing/decreasing the intensity and the centre one cycles through the 20 patterns. How many is too many? I guess that depends on the user and what kind you prefer. Going by the guidebook, I’m sure two of them are basically the same? Anyway, I like constants and consistent patterns which are located at the front and back of the selection which leaves a big chunk of the lesser desired 2-in-1 options in the middle. I wish the consistent patterns came after the main constant one as I have to press the button a lot just to get to them. There’s no simple way to identify them either - unless you count the order they come up? No memory chip here, so turning it off will reset the order. Due to the head’s rumbly vibes, it tends to keep shaking between any pauses which pleasantly fills in the gaps of the 2-in-1 patterns so even my fussy clit can still enjoy them. And if by magic; Poof! This wand has turned a major gripe of mine into a minor one.
The higher the intensities reach, the longer it takes to turn off as you have to go all the way back down past the lowest one. I haven’t found a shortcut for this so I could see it being a pain if you needed to quickly switch it off after a powerhouse pummelling. Not so bad for me since I only hover around the lower speeds anyway.
Well, well… There’s no wonder why this wand has won awards. I can safely say that it’s made my LH plug-in version obsolete. It just seems to do everything right. Easy to look after, charge and clean with no wires to worry about? And it guarantees an orgasm faster than I can brush my teeth? Oh, just shut up and take my money already! I never understood the fascination with the big bulky wands until this came along. Now I totally get it (several times a week).
Overall Rating: 5/5
Pros: A breeze to clean. Battery lifespan. Quality. No wires. Looks gorgeous. Broad, rumbly vibes.
Cons: Case feels cheap. Controls. Shame there aren’t more colours on the site. So many patterns.
Bottom Line: Definitely one of my best buys on here. Just makes owning a big ol’ wand that much easier.
