Crave Vesper vs. Le Wand Necklace Vibe Review & Comparison

Le Wand didn’t get the memo to be a first-​rate ver­sion of them­selves rather than a second-​rate ver­sion of some­one else — and it shows. Again.

The most bla­tant dif­fer­ence between the Crave Vesper and Le Wand Necklace Vibe is that the Le Wand ver­sion can’t make me cum. While the two mod­els look sim­i­lar, Le Wand’s Necklace Vibrator fails to deliv­er three must-​haves in a bullet-​style massager.

Oh, and it’s more expen­sive than the orig­i­nal. That’s right: Le Wand charges more for their neck­lace vibra­tor while also lack­ing the very fea­tures that made the Crave Vesper successful:

• A strong enough motor to get me off
• A focused tip (which can com­pen­sate for lack of strength)
• Speed set­tings that feel good

Vibrating bullet necklace strength comparison

Neither neck­lace vibrator’s inten­si­ty is any­thing to write home about — the Crave Vesper’s is about par with Tantus’s default bul­let that some­times comes with their toys — but at least the Vesper works for my cli­toris. Hello, orgasms.

When I dip the Crave Vesper in water, the waves are dis­tinct, and there’s even some splash. Its high­est speed set­ting out of three is intense for its size, and its one pat­tern set­ting is zip­py and still has plen­ty of oomph. Holding it against a hard table yields dis­tinct taps. While “rumbly” is out of the ques­tion at 140, 188, and 226 Hz, it gets the job done.

Bearing that in mind, the Crave Vesper vibrat­ing bullet’s dis­creet design makes it a prime can­di­date when trav­el­ing to coun­tries where sex toys are ille­gal. (Even in places with no offi­cial statute against vibra­tors, vague anti-​obscenity laws mean that your plea­sure prod­ucts might be con­fis­cat­ed at cus­toms, depend­ing on the officer’s per­son­al stan­dards of spiciness.)

Meanwhile, when read­ing the Le Wand Necklace Vibrator’s prod­uct page and see­ing claims of “fab­u­lous and fan­tas­tic vibra­tions” and “pul­sat­ing rum­bles,” two words come to mind: “BITCH, WHERE?” There’s no rum­ble in sight. When I dip the Le Wand Necklace vibra­tor in water, there’s the dinki­est bit of rip­pling, even on the high­er steady speed out of two.

You read that right: it retails for $99 at the reg­u­lar price and has two steady speeds (188 and 196 Hz). Neither of the Le Wand Necklace Vibrator’s set­tings can bring me to orgasm. And if the con­tin­u­ous vibra­tions aren't strong enough to make me cum, for­get about the patterns.

Le Wand copying other sex toy companies’ designs

I’m dis­ap­point­ed but not sur­prised by how his­to­ry has repeat­ed itself. Le Wand fucked with per­fec­tion when it came to the following:

• Magic Wand Rechargeable vs. Le Wand Rechargeable
• Njoy Eleven vs. Le Wand Contour

In the for­mer case, the Le Wand Rechargeable was buzzi­er while hav­ing more annoy­ing con­trols. And in the lat­ter, the njoy Eleven’s shape was dif­fer­ent (read: bet­ter for my G‑spot per­son­al­ly) and eas­i­er to thrust.

It would be a stretch to call the Crave Vesper per­fec­tion — its motor is no We-​Vibe Tango or Je Joue bul­let — but its size-​to-​strength ratio is sat­is­fac­to­ry. Ti Chang gets points for cre­ativ­i­ty in design­ing the Crave Vesper vibrat­ing bul­let neck­lace; Le Wand HQ doesn’t.

Measurements and more

Beyond their motors, the dif­fer­ences between the Crave Vesper and the Le Wand Vibrator Necklace are subtle:

Bullet body

• The Crave Vesper’s vibrat­ing bul­let has a pointier tip and is slight­ly longer 
• The Crave Vesper’s nail-​like head flares out more
• The hole to thread the Crave Vesper’s chain is more pronounced
• The Le Wand neck­lace vibra­tor bul­let is mar­gin­al­ly thick­er, at 0.37” diam­e­ter instead of 0.33”

Chain

• The Crave Vesper has a cable chain, while the Le Wand Necklace Vibrator has a box chain style
• Both mea­sure 26” long by default, but the Le Wand Necklace Vibrator also has loops to wear it at 28” or 30” long

Overall look

• The orig­i­nal Crave Vesper comes in three col­ors: sil­ver, sil­ver with a rose gold cap, and gold. That last ver­sion costs extra.
• Le Wand’s Necklace Vibrator comes in four col­ors, all of which cost the same: black, rose gold, gold, and silver.

Similarities

The fol­low­ing remains the same:

• One but­ton con­trols all the settings
• The top screws and unscrews to allow USB charg­er access

So which vibrating bullet necklace one should you get?

You know my stance: I don’t love either vibrat­ing jew­el­ry design, but the Crave Vesper is bet­ter than the Le Wand Necklace Vibrator in almost every way.

There was one depart­ment where the Le Wand ver­sion used to super­sede the Crave Vesper: the col­or options. Not any­more, though! Crave’s Vesper 2.0 is now out!

A new contender: Lovehoney's Dare Discreet Necklace Vibrator

Lovehoney also has their own ver­sion of a neck­lace vibra­tor: the Dare Discreet. It's a tad more pow­er­ful but way buzzi­er. Most impor­tant­ly, yes, it can make me cum.

Lovehoney's neck­lace vibra­tor fea­tures about the same over­all mea­sure­ments and screw-​top charg­ing port. Externally, the main dif­fer­ences are:

• It has a more styl­ized, swoop­ing loop at the top 
• Its but­ton is sil­i­cone rather than metal
• It's round­ed at the tip, like that of the Le Wand Necklace vibrator

If you love how it looks, get the Lovehoney Dare Discreet Necklace.

Closing thoughts on wearable necklace vibrators

Overall, I strong­ly pre­fer the Crave Vesper's more tapered tip — and wish more vibra­tor neck­lace mak­ers would dou­ble down on pin­point stimulation.

In the mean­time, it’s what’s inside a vibra­tor that counts. The Crave Vesper bul­let neck­lace vibra­tor, even in its orig­i­nal form, is far supe­ri­or in feel.

Even if some­one real­ly eager­ly want­ed a rose gold vibrat­ing bul­let neck­lace, why would I rec­om­mend the Le Wand Necklace Vibrator — one that can’t make me orgasm? You deserve better.
