Lelo Smart Wand Large Rechargeable Vibrator

This isn't just a vibrator, this is art

I'd been looking at wands for a long time now but I couldn't decide which one to take the plunge with. In the end Lelo's sleek WIRELESS design won me over. I then spent a good while debating with myself over which size to buy, eventually reaching the conclusion to go big or go home, so to speak.

First impressions:

After restraining the urge to maul my postman on sight, I ripped open Lovehoney's discreet brown box to reveal the famous Lelo packaging - first impressions are everything and Lelo have this mastered. After carefully opening the luxurious box my new toy looked expectantly at me, it was love at first sight. I knew then if it didn't satisfy me orgasm-wise that I could happily spend my life merely looking at it.

Before the initial use it needs to be charged so I got right to it, all of which was easy enough, plug the charger into the end of the wand, leave it for a 2 hour charge and you're good to go.

The wand itself is relatively heavy (to be expected from a quality product of this size) and weighted towards the front, that being said it's not uncomfortable to hold thanks to the design, although I find that it can be slightly more cumbersome over longer periods of play.

The silicone body of the the smart wand is to die for and there isn't a seam to be found, quality product indeed, but make sure you use water-based lube to keep it that way folks!

Use:

Super easy to start up and navigate, all you need to do is use the little + and - buttons that are positioned right where you'd want them. Wow. This thing is POWERFUL, that really needs emphasising. Not only that but it rumbles and at this point I've quite frankly died and gone to heaven. If you like rumbly sensations then this is the one for you, trust me. I could feel rumbles in places I didn't know I could that wasn't even on the high settings!

The smart wand will give you bigger, better, faster, stronger orgasms than you've ever had before in your life. On that note, considering the toy is so powerful, the charge lasts for a very long time (2 hours for 2 hour recharge). You shouldn't have to worry about the power cutting out unless you've become completely and utterly addicted and been playing for longer than you should have, which to be fair is understandable!

I should note here that the head on the toy has a tiny bit of give, not much, which fantastic for anyone that likes to apply pressure because you won't lose much (if any) of the pulse strength.

With regards to the sound level I do find it very loud, when you get towards the maximum settings I'm convinced the whole neighbourhood can hear me, not that I care much at the time! If you live with friends or family then this is a toy to use when you have the house to yourself.

Afterwards the all in one design is exceptionally easy to clean, there are no hidden nooks and crannies to navigate that you would expect from most wands.

Conclusion:

Best purchase I ever made. That's all I need to say.

Ultimate power and luxury, le petite mort to die for

Holy hell, I have never been so addicted to a sex toy in all my 26 years of using sex toys. This has flown to the top of my toy box - it eases my back pain and gives me mind-blowing orgasms, as well as different types of orgasms on different patterns, something I have never felt with any other toy.

This smart wand oozes luxury and the motor is outstanding quality and sounds very smooth and is discreet, whereas my other wands have a whine on full speed.

Recharging:

Quick to charge and it holds the charge well.

Silicone and Design:

It's the most luxurious waterproof silky smooth silicone I have in any toy. Its elegant innovative design makes it beautiful to own let alone hold, its cordless ergonomic shape enables you to easily reach your back and shoulders by yourself. But hey where's the fun in that, grab a friend to help.

Vibrations:

As a nurse I know the deep low frequency vibrations are similar to shiatsu machines on the market that reach deeply into your muscles. Ideal as a stress and pain relief massager as well as for intimate use. I suffer with a lot of muscle and joint pain with my ME and it's an incredible pain relief... thank you Lelo.

Packaging:

The gorgeous box and neoprene storage pouch makes this a stunning gift for anyone. Yes guys can use it too with amazing results.

Men too:

Hold the wand under the frenulum for solo play or we use this during sex between us so we can share the deep pulsating vibrations. This wand is used nearly every time for us.

SenseTouch Technology:

I thought this maybe a gimmick but it really isn't. The innovative unique SenseTouch technology gives you personalised vibrations to suit you. It stays on purr until it senses the warmth of your skin and then accelerates to full speed in seconds... incredible. (Its full speed cap can be personalised in settings.)

Battle of the wands:

So the big question is it more powerful than the Hitachi or the Deluxe magic wand? Well I'm not wimping out as I have to say they are completely different type of vibration, but they both still give me incredible but completely different orgasms. The Smart wand has the slight edge, being more rumbly with the SenseTouch techology, as that's what I enjoy. Those that have the Hitachi wand, both the Deluxe and Lelo smart wand are far more powerful and really are the wand Titans in the world at this time. I'm so proud to own both of these.

G-Tip Attachment + Lelo large smart wand:

OMG I don't say this often but OMG... those deep rumbly vibes reverberated my whole insides and gave me the most intense mind-blowing orgasms. I had no idea my body could give me any stronger orgasms. The triple stimulation from the vaginal insert, the clitoral and anal stimulator was a...ma...zing!

You sooo need to experience this... for full body orgasms... Ohh my!

Opinion:

The high powered vibrations really are something else, I cannot compare them to anything else I own and I can't get enough of the extreme rumbliness, it makes me squirt every time and I'm absolutely addicted to this as it's the most powerful intense vibrator I own. I have full body orgasms so powerful they take over my body and I can't walk for nearly an hour and I have almost passed out. I can feel the vibes all through my pelvis. Le petite mort to die for!

Tip: If you prefer more buzzy vibes choose the medium smart wand, if you are a rumble queen choose the large. Those who are rumbly power queens like me and those of you that have problems orgasming or squirting, I have to recommend this large wand and the Wand essentials G-tip attachment ten times over, you won't look back. (A must have buy with your wand, I cannot stress this enough.)

This is the best toy I own and as a reviewer I do not say this lightly. Everyone needs one in their toy box... seriously!

I love this wand, Harry Potter eat your heart out... it's mine!

Warning: This wand's magic is powerful

The Lelo Smart Wand Large is a highly powerful rechargeable wand massager. As well as having seven pretty standard style vibration modes, it features innovative SenseTouch technology, designed to make the massaging experience feel more lifelike. When you slowly apply the wand’s head to your body, the vibration intensity gradually increases, just like when someone is manually massaging you and the pressure they apply increases as they work out all your muscular knots. Its ergonomic shape also helps you to massage those difficult to reach areas with ease. Its other main feature is that it’s 100% waterproof. I don’t think I’ve found a waterproof wand massager before the release of the Lelo Smart Wand series. After testing it out, I’m pleased to report it’s still functional after a very long bath or shower.

The Lelo Smart Wand Large I received came without any packaging as it was a store sample, but I have seen the packaging in a different store and it lives up to Lelo’s previous standards, being discreet and elegant. In addition to the standard Lelo box - which is in white, rather than the usual black - you will receive a reversible storage pouch, which is large enough for the wand, charger, and a few other little extras, like lube and condoms. The Lelo Smart Wand Large arrives with a 9v charger, which is different to all previous Lelo chargers, and only compatible with the Smart Wand Large.

The Wand measures 12 inches in length, with a 2.5 inch long head, and an inch long neck connecting that to the main handle. The head is 7.5 inches in circumference; the toy thins around its 5.25 inch neck, and then expands to 6.75 inches when meeting the main body. The device’s neck isn’t as flexible as some, but feels strong, and helps maintain firm control during use. The toy is coated in a seamless silicone, with a rigid interior. There are no gaps in the silicone, apart from at the base where the charging port is located. On the handle you will find a piece of chrome plated glossy plastic, with Lelo etched into it. There is a small gap between this and the silicone body, which could trap dirt. As the handle curves, the toy’s circumference decreases, before expanding slightly to provide an ergonomic grip. The toy has an excellent weight distribution, making it easy to hold. The bend in the shaft not only makes it easier to reach certain areas during use, but also helps prevent you from activating the controls accidentally.

Three buttons control the toy’s vibrations. When the toy arrives, it may be in travel lock mode. To activate and deactivate this, press and hold the ‘-’ and ‘+’ buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. There are 8 vibration modes, all of which have the option of customisable intensity. The first setting is a continuous speed vibration; pressing the ‘-’ and ‘+’ adjust its strength. To switch in and out of the SenseTouch mode, press and hold the ‘()’ button for a few seconds. Set the maximum intensity you desire via the plus and minus buttons. The SenseTouch function increases and decreases the vibrations slowly as the head of the toy comes in contact with your skin. As you pull the toy away from your body vibrations will decrease, and if you press it firmly into your body it will increase in strength. The toy has an additional 7 modes of various pulsations and escalations; you can scan through these by pressing the ‘()’ button. To turn the toy off, press and hold the ‘-’ for a few seconds. The toy will remember the last setting you were on when you next activate it.

The Lelo Smart Wand is designed as an all-over body massager, which can also be used as an intimate foreplay device. When using the product as a general body massager, the touch sensitive vibrations offer a unique experience akin to the pressure of a manual massage from a lover. You are able to set the vibration’s upper limit, so as the head of the toy comes in contact with the skin’s surface, it will slowly increase its intensity to your personal preferred maximum. Thanks to the flexible head, well-balanced body, and bent handle, you are able to apply more precise control than with a straight shaft massage wand.

The massage wand’s neck isn’t as flexible as some, but maintains enough flexibility in it for you to easily glide it over your body without losing control, even when rubbing against well lubricated areas. The toy’s vibrations work exceptionally well for deep body massage, and have worked wonders on my muscular knots, which normally can only be remedied by a vigorous, and sometimes painful, manual massage by a third party. Instead the rumbly vibrations quickly, effortlessly, and painlessly shake any aches away. My main qualm is that, when using it on the highest setting for a prolonged area of time, it can cause undesired muscular spasms and numbness - but it’s rare I will need to massage for this long and at this intensity.

When using it as a general massager, I would normally opt for single speed vibrations, set to a medium/high intensity, or go for the SenseTouch option. I liked how I was able to control the strength of vibration utilising the SenseTouch function, as it meant I didn’t have to worry about fiddling around with buttons constantly when trying to concentrate on massaging a certain spot. To make the experience a little more realistic, you can heat the vibrator’s silicone head in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes.

When using the toy as a clitoral stimulator, I found the head a little too large to place directly onto the clitoris. However, the vibrations produced were deep and rumbly enough to travel throughout the clitoris and clitoral legs, and could even rattle my pubic bone (when on the highest setting) just by being placed over the vulva, or positioned on the pubic mound. When positioning it over my vulva, I found I preferred resting the side of the head against my body, as this seemed to produce more rumbly vibrations. When placing the centre of the head over my clitoris the vibrations were more consistently strong, but I felt they gave a more buzzy sensation. The curved handle of the toy was excellent for effortlessly resting the head onto my vulva, and very little pressure was needed to be able to appreciate the strength of the vibrator. I actually found that the vibrator worked more comfortably when lighter pressure was applied, as too much pressure led quickly to clit-numbing sensations. Lots of water-based lubricant is a must, as the speed of this vibrator is insane, and it will actively push fluids away from the contact area.

I found the toy worked best on one of the pulsation settings, as I was able to slowly edge myself to an intense climax. When using it on a high continuous speed the orgasm always felt a bit rushed, and often led to painful clit-numbing. On occasion I found that using the vibrator over the fabric of my underwear was more comfortable than direct contact - just remember the fabric will dampen the vibrations and produce a muffled rumbly sensation.

The Lelo Smart Wand Large is one of those toys which regularly causes me to experience female ejaculation, so be prepared and have a towel or waterproof sheet handy. If you are a squirter and are worried about cleaning up the wand afterwards, it’s also waterproof. I was very hesitant trying the wand out in the bath due to its seemingly open AC socket, but it has now survived several baths. Not only does this toy produce mesmerizing ripples on par with a high powered jacuzzi, but the water acts as a barrier, softening the vibrations slightly. This means I’m able to experience multiple orgasms in very rapid succession. When using the toy in the bath I was also able to use the toy a few inches away from my body. The vibrations propelled the water into my body, with stimulating bubbles and ripples hitting against my clitoris. Although not as intense as direct contact stimulation, it made for pleasurable foreplay. Other than the charging port being open, my main problem when using it in the bath is how the strength of the orgasms it induces make my legs buck and head rock; I’d advise using a bath pillow or rolled-up towel behind your head for comfort, and as a way to avoid potential concussion.

When placing the vibrator’s head onto a penetrative sex toy, the rumbly vibrations travel deeply down the shaft of most I’ve tried.

Although I haven’t tried this myself, due to the lack of wand attachments, I have read and seen images of the Lelo Large Smart Wand being used with various standard sized head attachments effectively.

I have not been able to insert the wand’s head vaginally or anally - nor do I personally recommend it. If you do this, make sure you keep up your kegel exercises, as it could potentially damage and strain your pelvic floor muscles.

Cleaning the wand is effortless. Unlike other wand vibrators, which have lots of nooks and crannies around their neck and head, electrical cords, or air vents on their body, the Lelo Smart Wand has none of these. All you have to worry about is paying some additional attention to the slight gap between the hard chrome-plated plastic, and the open charging port.

A note on charging: make sure the toy’s charging port has completely dried out before plugging it into the mains to charge. Since receiving the wand I’ve hardly needed to charge it, but when it does run out of battery life the vibrator will stop completely dead.

Overall, the Lelo Smart Wand Large is almost the perfect wand. I like all the functions available with it, even the SenseTouch function. I feel the only improvement Lelo could make with this product is to add a silicone cover to the charging port. It’s probably one of the most powerful vibrators I own, and that’s saying something considering it’s rechargeable rather than mains powered. When purchasing the vibrator, although it is powerful, make sure you take into account what type of vibrations you prefer, as this toy emits rumbly vibrations, rather than buzzy. I think Lelo have probably produced their best product to date with this wand, and I look forward to seeing whether or not they produce their own range of wand head attachments to go with it - please do!
