We-Vibe Wand 2 Review
My Verdict
There's a new buzz in town and it's the We-Vibe Wand 2. This upgraded and updated version of their 2019 hit has more speeds, more patterns and better buttons for control. However, for me they missed the mark in comparison to other wands in regards to the weight and a significant amount of the vibration that travel down the handle of the toy. Let's explore the toy together in detail and discuss the pros and cons.

Personal Experience
The Pleasure
The We-Vibe Wand 2 comes packaged in a sleekly designed box that matches the We-Vibe brand perfectly. Inside the box you’ll find the Wand 2, the charging cable and a quick start guide. This powerful cordless wand offers 10 different patterns each with 10 different speeds. You can go from soft and low to toe curling in seconds. This gives you a ton of variety to play with and find a setting that works just for you. This toy, whether you are new to wands or a seasoned vet, is going to give you those deep rumbling vibrations. Something new with this upgrade from their 2019 model comes the Smart Silence feature as well as optional app controls. The Smart Silence mode activates only when touching skin, so the minute you pull away the vibrations cease, enhancing that discreet fun. Compared to the previous model they have updated the button layout and ease of access to use the buttons. The head of the Wand 2 offers both a rounded side and a pinpoint for more fine-tuned stimulation. The flexibility of the head also allows for changing angles whether playing solo or with a partner. The We-Vibe Wand 2 even at the highest setting is so quiet, you can probably hear it in the same room, but behind a door or living in an apartment with others there’s no concern about others hearing it.The Problems
As someone who has tried other wand toys, the We-Vibe Wand 2 missed the mark for me on a couple of points. I found the toy to be very heavy and, as someone with minor disabilities, this was hard for me when compared to another wand toys I’ve tried. Additionally, I found that the rumbly vibrations didn’t do it for me mainly because the vibrations from the Wand 2 seemed travel down the handle at speeds 5 and over, rather than remaining the in the head where you want them! This also made it hard to hold onto the handle for long periods of time. For me, even after a few minutes, I could feel the vibrations through my entire arm, which threw off my enjoyment. While I love a good app-controlled toy, the We-Vibe Wand 2 seemed to have some delay when changing the speed or pattern in the app — I’m not sure if this is a problem with just my toy or the app, but it did interfere with the fun.Design
Upon first look the We-Vibe Wand 2 shape is a little off, as the head isn't your standard wand shape, it's round on one side with a pinpointed end as well attached to the handle. However, the entirety of the toy does look luxurious because of the body safe silicone. The buttons are very basic and all centrally located. The curve of the Wand 2 is different from standard wands which allows for more versatility during play whether it be solo or with a partner. I like parts of the design but feel like the vibrations travel too much through the entirety of the wand versus where it truly needs to be. I also feel like the head shape still doesn't really allow for the vibrations to hit spots accurately. I think they could have spent more time on the design.
Ease of Use
The We-Vibe Wand 2 has easy to access buttons located on the handle that don't take much to change a setting. The toy can also be changed in the app if the buttons are too hard to reach or you want easier way to change the setting if you found a more versatile angle. The heaviness of the toy and how long it is might make it difficult for someone with physical limitations like I experienced.
Quality
The We-Vibe Wand 2, despite it being a heavier wand toy, does feel sturdy and made of high quality materials. The body safe silicone feels durable and long lasting. The buttons don't feel like they could easily be broken or stop working with over-use.
Price
The We-Vibe Wand 2 retails on Lovehoney currently for $150 USD (not including shipping), which in my research is similar to what other wands with as many settings or app control feature are currently retailing for. The material and the overall quality is that they will hold up long term for the price. There are no extras in the box except for the charging cord, so I recommend storing it somewhere like a toy box, because with the silicone outside it will attract dust just by sitting around.
Performance
As someone who has experience with wand toys, I came into this with some expectations for the We-Vibe Wand 2. I was intrigued by the design, the versatility and the app control features. However, by the end of my testing I was left disappointed by the vibrations, the shape of the head of the toy and the overall experience with the app. I can't speak to the battery because I haven't had to recharge it yet but I did fully charge it before first use and timing was accurate to what they list on their website. The rumbly vibrations would be fine if they stayed in the head of the Wand 2 versus traveling the whole length of the toy and into your arm.
Packaging
The packaging for the We-Vibe Wand 2 is very standard for wand toys, front features a picture of the toy while the back features a picture breaking down the individual parts of how it functions. It looks very similar to other sex toy packaging at this point, I'm not really seeing anyone do anything different just maybe different style or box shape. The packaging doesn't usually dissuade me from buying an item unless its super graphic or tacky looking, mainly because the packaging quickly ends up being tossed out afterwards.
Materials and care
The We-Vibe Wand 2 is made from body-safe silicone encasing the entirety of the product. It's a heavier wand than my previous one and feels high quality. The website for the We-Vibe Wand 2 lists that it is fully waterproof and can be simply cleaned with mild soap and warm water. It definitely is easy to clean, I personally just left it to dry on the counter in my bathroom after. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a storage bag or box, so I recommend using or getting your own because the silicone does attract lint and random dust.
Special feature
The We-Vibe Wand 2 comes with an app unlike several other wand toys out there. Personally, I found the app to be finicky both in finding your partner for connecting as well as a delay in changing patterns/speeds through the app. I also don’t know if this is just my toy but I found the connection to be unstable when using it for distance control, something I rely on because my partner is long distance. I would include screenshots or a screen recording but the app doesn’t allow for either and my secondary device is too old for compatibility.
