Le Wand Dive Review: A Waterproof Wand Vibrator

I once had a boyfriend who, after watching me orgasm so quickly and so strongly with a vibrator, looked at me mournfully and said, “Now women will never need men again.” We were both 25 at the time and inexperienced, and not just sexually.

I haven’t thought about him or that conversation in years, but after the new Le Wand Dive brought me to orgasm pretty much on contact, the memory came back to me. He was right, after all: No one with a vulva needs a man for anything, especially a clitoral orgasm. My favorite bullet vibrator is the Le Wand Deux, so I have plenty of experience with the company’s sex toys, but nothing could have prepared me for the Dive.

Off-the-Charts Intense

When I first encounter a vibrator, I always go through the vibration intensities in my hand before anything else. While testing a vibrator against your nose is the best way to figure out if the settings are strong enough (or too strong) for your clitoral satisfaction, I’ve tried so many vibrators that I can gauge their strength fairly well with a grip. I do this as a way to give myself a heads up as to just how powerful something is before I use it on my clitoris.

Maybe the other wands I have in my collection have exhausted themselves with time and use, but when I cranked the Dive to its top intensity (there are 10), the vibrations were so strong that I could feel them up my arm, across my chest, and into my jaw. Even 20 minutes after this brief test round, my hand was still feeling the effects and struggling to shake the tingling away. I tend to be a glutton for high-intensity vibrators on my vulva, so I’m so happy I did this first.

With this necessary information about its power in mind, I eased my way into the Dive during my first time, taking on each intensity slowly, although you have the option to hold down the (+) button and take it from zero to 60 in seconds. I couldn’t get past the fourth intensity without completely caving and having an immediate orgasm.

I was equally shocked, impressed, and confused. But most importantly, feeling so amazing and practically enlightened—thank you, oxytocin!—that I briefly thought I could solve all the world’s problems. But because the Dive isn’t just splashproof but fully submersible, I knew I was just getting started, and the world would have to wait.

Underwater Fun

I’ve never really been into sexual activities that involve water. I learned after my first few forays into pool sex that water washes away natural lube, so my mind has categorized sexual pleasure and water separately. However, with the Dive being waterproof, I had to unlearn what I knew.
