Getting To Know The Smart Wand 2 Better – Features And Expectations
The Large And Medium Lelo Smart Wand 2
Lelo Smart Wand 2 is available in two sizes, the medium and the large. I’m going to focus on the Large size for this review, though the key features remain the same for both types.
There are differences though, much like the name of these wands signifies. Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large is larger and heftier than the Lelo Smart Wand 2 medium.
The “large” size wand is also more powerful and has a bigger battery. The general shape, features, and setting of both wands are largely similar.
Unboxing The Smart Wand
Reputable stores and websites send adult toys in a discreet package. Lelo Smart Wand 2 arrives in a clean package that doesn’t show any indications of what it contains. Once out of the package, the smart wand box shows itself in all its glory.
I like how Lelo packages its toys. The box has an aesthetic element to it, and looks cool. The design of the box is clean and elegant, and a window on it shows the toy inside the box.
Inside the box, you’ll find:
- Lelo Smart Wand 2 massager
- A storage bag
- User manual
- Warranty registration card
- USB charging cord
Some packs may also contain a small sachet of lubricant, which Lelo calls “personal moisturizer”. It’s not standard, but some packages may have this lubricant.
The Design Of The Lelo Wand Vibrator
When you see the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large vibrator, you can agree with Lelo on at least one thing. This thing is ‘large’. The dimensions of this wand are 8.3 x 3.3 x 1.8 inches and it weighs 155g/0.34 lb.
Though it looks huge at the first look, the size is sensible. Wands are expected to be large. This helps with their use as general massagers and as vibrators.
The exterior of the Lelo Smart Wand 2 is made from two materials. Much of the vibrator is coated in silicone. The silicone is soft to the touch and has a pleasant feel about it. I like how it feels – there’s something luxurious about it.
The shiny, metallic-look bits on the wand are made of ABS plastic. Both these materials are good quality, body-safe, and non-porous. This bodes well for the quality of the vibrator and the hygiene for the user.

Controls And Buttons On The Smart Wand 2
Lelo Smart Wand 2 has three control buttons and they’re located right above the metallic (ABS plastic) handle of the vibrator. They remain easy to access and manage, though given their position from the handle, you might have to occasionally move your hands to access the buttons.
The two buttons on either end manage the vibration speed intensity (+/-) while the button in the center manages the patterns. Lelo Smart Wand 2 has 10 vibration settings and patterns.
Speaking of the control buttons, Lelo Smart Wand 2 also includes a travel lock. When in this mode, the vibrator will not come into action at the press of a button. This makes it easy to carry along in your luggage when you’re traveling.
An accidental push on the controls won’t set the vibrator in motion, which helps preserve battery. Plus, there won’t be any embarrassing noises from the luggage. Once you’re ready for action, disable the travel mode and the vibrator returns to its normal self.
Here are some functions for the buttons:
- Press the + and – buttons together until the light turns on to engage the travel lock on the vibrator
- Press the “()” button to switch between patterns
- Press the + button to switch on the massager
- Use the + and – buttons to increase or decrease vibration intensity
- Press and hold the “()” button to switch off the massager
Charging And Battery
One of the best things about the Lelo Smart Wand 2 is its battery. The massager features a 1050 mAh Li-ion battery. Charging is accomplished by using the pin-style USB-charger that pushes into the bottom of the vibrator.
It takes the wand roughly 2 hours to get a full charge. After this, you can use it for up to 4 hours. If you prefer moving at the higher intensity settings, the battery will go out faster, but it’s still possible to get a reasonable play time, greater than 2 hours with this vibrator.
Practically, this means you can use the wand several times after a full charge. Wands aren’t supposed to be used for long durations, so it will hold enough charge for multiple uses. The standby time for the battery goes up to 90 days.
Waterproofing And Cleaning The Toy
Lelo says that the Smart Wand 2 is completely waterproof. You can use it underwater and in the shower without a problem. This helps with the cleaning as well, since you can put it under the faucet for a quick cleaning.
Since it is a wand massager and not meant to be used internally, there won’t be much problem cleaning it. However, it’s best to use lubricants with any toy, including this one. A water-based lubricant is best for silicone toys like the Lelo Smart Wand 2.
The silicone as well as the plastic are non-porous, so there’s no trouble cleaning the massager. However, there’s always a chance that some lubricant and/or body fluids will find their way to the points where the silicone and the plastic meet.
You’ll have to be extra-careful when cleaning these points and do it carefully to get rid of any unwanted materials there.
To be honest, I’m not completely sold on the waterproofing, mostly due to the charger. The pin-style charger and the unprotected charging port don’t inspire confidence. And it’s an expensive enough toy that I don’t really want to test my theory.
However, it works in the shower and even in the bathtub. My advice is that if you intend to use it anywhere wet, don’t let the wand anywhere near the charger until it’s fully dry. It might not be a problem, but I’d rather not take the risk.

Reviewing The Lelo Smart Wand 2 – Impressions With Use
How Does The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Feel In Use?
Here’s the big question about the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large – how does it actually feel in use.
To me, it’s something of an unusual combination of rumbly and buzzy, and strong and weak.
See, one of the big expectations we have from wand vibrators is that they should be strong and impressive. Lelo Smart Wand 2 delivers that, to an extent, but not fully.
As the vibrator starts at the lowest intensity setting, you can feel that the vibrations go deep and are pleasurable. They’re not exactly strong, because they’re not supposed to be that strong at this intensity setting, but they are pleasurable.
Going up on the intensity settings, the vibrations get more powerful, more rumbly, and more pleasurable. It feels amazing, and I think somewhere near settings 6 or 7, the vibrator is at its most pleasurable and primed to bring about an orgasm.
It’s fun and exciting, and the orgasm feels good, though it’s not toe-curling or earth-shattering.
Lelo doesn’t advertise the Sense Touch technology with the Smart Wand 2, though it was big on the original Smart Wand with this technology. However, even though the technology isn’t present, the vibrations feel different as the wand is pushed closer to the body.
The head of the vibrator is flexible enough to allow some push, and the noise from the massager goes down.
Going to higher intensity settings doesn’t work well for me. It’s not so much because of the power, but because the vibrations start getting buzzy and superficial, rather than deep and rumbly. It stops feeling powerful and the pleasure goes away.
And that’s a problem. A big wand like this should be able to put out significantly more power and deeper vibrations. I wouldn’t complain about a good mix of buzzy and rumbly, but the wand seems to miss the spot.
Is It Possible To Insert The Smart Wand?
Can you insert the Smart Wand 2 into the vagina? Well, there is nothing against it and though the head can be uncomfortably wide, it might not be that difficult for some people to insert it.
But because it can be done, doesn’t mean it should be done. Wand massagers like this one work best when used for clitoral stimulation and aren’t designed for internal use.
If you do want something to insert, consider buying another vibrator, or get insertable accessories for the Smart Wand 2. This vibrator is compatible with several accessories, including those designed for the Hitachi/Vibratex magic wand. That’s a wide variety of options available and you’ll get better results from these purpose-built accessories.

Noise – How Noisy Is This Toy?
As a rule of thumb, we expect wand vibrators to be noisy. And Lelo Smart Wand 2 is no exception. This toy is noisy.
Lelo puts the noise range at 35-53 dB, which should be good enough for most users. The massager is relatively quiet at its lower power settings, but it gets noisier as you go up the intensity levels,
I wouldn’t call it anywhere near quiet once going to intensity levels at 7 and above. It isn’t loud, but it isn’t quiet either. If you have thin walls or someone’s walking by the door, expect the noise to travel.
Using a TV or something similar to drown the noise might help, but they may not completely drown out the sound.
Is The Lelo Smart Wand 2 A Good Body Massager?
When we’re dealing with something like a wand massager, it’s only natural to consider its use as a body massager as well. Well, the Smart Wand doesn’t disappoint on that front. This is a capable body massager that provides good, relaxing vibrations.
Plus, its large size and curved body allows it to reach all parts of the body with relative ease. That makes it convenient to hit some of those tough-to-reach spots.
Conclusion
I would say that the Lelo Smart Wand 2 is a decent massager and vibrator. As noted in this Lelo Smart Wand 2 review, it does its job and provides strong, pleasurable vibrations. However, it can seem like a middling or average wand vibrator when compared to the competition.
Lelo Smart Wand 2 isn’t as strong, as pliable, as feature-rich, or as cost-effective as some other wands out there. It’s a decent vibrator in its own right, but there are plenty of better options available on the market.
