Le Wand Contour vs. njoy Eleven (Comparison & Review)
You don't fuck with perfection. Why did Le Wand try to do that again?
My single favorite dildo is the njoy Eleven. Beyond its sexy exterior and lethal construction, there's a reason it's in my avatar.
Simply, the njoy Eleven is an "instant orgasm" instrument for me. And not a localized clitoral one, but a series of gasping, five-octave screaming orgasms. The "Oh my God, oh God, oh God, I think I might blackout" type.
Wait, this is a review of the Le Wand Contour, isn't it?
Well, yes. It's impossible to talk about the Contour (or much else of Le Wand's stainless steel dildo collection) without bringing up njoy. Cue flashback to the Le Wand Rechargeable and Hitachi Vibratex Magic Wand Rechargeable. Le Wand isn't doing much to distinguish itself here, either. But the stainless steel dildo lines are far from the same.

Similarities between the Le Wand Contour and njoy Eleven
The Le Wand Contour and njoy Eleven share the following characteristics:
- Eleven inches long
- Mirror-polished stainless steel
- Shallow S‑curves
- Generously swelling heads
- Double-ended, with different size options
- A ridged shaft on the "small" end
- SUPER heavy (but that's what I love!)
Their length and curvature make them both fantastic for A‑spotting and cervix massage — resulting in my favorite kinds of orgasms.
During partner play especially, the S‑curved shaft serves as a lever. One hand in the center pushes the inserted end up toward the front wall, while the other hand pushes the "handle" down to apply additional pressure.
Boom, boom, insta-come all-around. Sharp. Like the orgasms are blasted out of me. ("Wow, it looks like you really enjoyed it," my boyfriend said, after using the Le Wand Contour on me. "… or should I say, you really 'Le Wand'ed it!" GROAN.)
Is the Le Wand Contour just a njoy Eleven knockoff?
There's no denying that the Le Wand Contour is highly derivative of the njoy Eleven, retaining many features I like. (My njoy Eleven review was essentially a love letter.) However, the differences aren't minor — and I can't ignore the disparity in price. With or without my coupon code (SUPER) at Betty's Toy Box, the Le Wand Contour costs way less than the Eleven.
In any case, the Eleven is an EXPENSIVE dildo. For another toymaker to release a smaller and less costly version is a legitimate response. Consider that the Le Wand Contour is 1.87" maximum diameter at the big end, while the njoy Eleven is 2" thick. At the small end, they measure 1.45" and 1.75", respectively. Let that sink in: one has a reasonably average girth (compared to human penises), while the other is dipping its toes in size royalty territory.
I love big toys, and I cannot lie, BUT I understand that size is sometimes a deterrent for people considering an Eleven.
What about the rest of the Le Wand stainless steel line?
I'd only be salty about Le Wand's stainless steel dildos if they got awards and njoy's didn't. (Yes, I'm side-eyeing the Le Wand Rechargeable's accolades.) I like njoy's toys more, but I don't hate the Le Wand line.. Let's break it down:
- Arch – Doesn't resemble njoy at all. More like a hybrid between the LELO Gigi's and Desirables Dalia's shapes.
- Bow – While bulbous, has a shallower curve than the njoy Pure Wand — bearing closer resemblance to some generic glass toys I've seen.
- Swerve – S‑curved like the njoy Fun Wand, but doesn't dip down in girth between beads. Has a prostate-massaging head like the njoy pFun plug. Nice combination toy.
The main dildo in the Le Wand stainless steel collection that I cringe at most is the Hoop. And that's because it does have a step curve like the njoy Pure Wand, but with added ridges on the shaft. While it's easy to think that the extra stimulation enriches the experience, I'd steer clear. I don't want the unyielding ridges rubbing that close to or that hard against my urethra. And when it costs more? No, thanks. I'm sticking with my Pure Wand.
Further differences between the Le Wand Contour and njoy Eleven
Okay, back to the Contour. Aside from the size, Le Wand brings us two other critical deviations from njoy's Eleven design: the weight and head shape.
Le Wand Contour stainless steel dildo weight
When you're used to the njoy Eleven (2.75 lbs OR 44 oz), the Le Wand Contour is a millstone in comparison (about 4.5 lbs or 72 oz). Despite its smaller size, it's waaaaay denser. That may be useful as a weapon for zombie-bludgeoning. Or vaginal weightlifting, but I'd rather just carabine a Pure Plug to a bucket of dumbbells.
I don't mind. But those who have mobility problems or orgasm more slowly than I do? They may not have the forearm stamina to sustain thrusting with the Le Wand Contour.
A flattened G‑spotting head
It's way more evident in person than in pictures: the Le Wand Contour's head shape is more squared off from the side perspective and has less of a lateral flare from the top view. It's designed to knead the area on the front wall, just past the pubic bone. Not a pure njoy Eleven copy, but a hybrid with the LELO Ella.
Many users would love Le Wand Contour's flat head design, but not me, for a few reasons. For one, it's not as intense as the njoy Eleven.
And unlike the Eleven, the Le Wand Contour doesn't massage the sensitive area on my pubic bone as it dips. I find that the former more tightly tessellates with my anatomy.
In my njoy Eleven review, I also mentioned that it pounds my front wall with such bravado that my A‑spot and G‑spot seemingly blur into one. That kind of synergy doesn't happen with the Le Wand Contour for me. I feel like I have to consciously focus on one erogenous zone or the other.
Vertical, walnut-shaped ridges?
You may also be wondering whether the ridges on the Le Wand Contour's head do anything for my G‑spot. I do enjoy vertical bumps, like on the lower shaft of the Blush Avant D4. However, with a bludgeonly dildo like the Contour, the ridges are secondary; the intensity of the thrusts drown out any lateral twisting stimulation I'd get. That's not a bad thing — it's just not as synergistic as I'd hoped.

What to consider before deciding on a Le Wand Contour or njoy Eleven
I wouldn't recommend either stainless steel dildo for beginners. If you want a Le Wand Contour or njoy Eleven, you better have built up your dildo collection to be sure of what you like.
My history with flat-headed G‑spot toys
I'm lucky that Le Wand Contour happened to fit my anatomy well. Not perfectly or effortlessly like with the Eleven, but rounded-off enough to justify the price.Historically, I've found that toys like the LELO Ella and Blush Wellness G Ball aim too far past my G‑spot and miss it. As such, it makes sense that, while the Le Wand Contour works for me, it still doesn't compare to the njoy Eleven.
Your history with G‑spot toy head shapes
Think of other G‑spot toys you've tried. Did you, unlike me, find stimulating the LELO Ella or Wellness G Ball or Stronic G's placement? Do you like the Uberrime Amo's flat head? If so, Le Wand Contour's G‑spot-massaging design will feel amazing for you.
But if your type is more the Tantus Sport or Dorcel SO or Stronic Surf, consider sticking with the njoy Eleven. Even though it costs more, I'd prefer to invest in a toy that feels like it was made for me.
My verdict on the Le Wand Contour stainless steel dildo
As with Le Wand's metal vibrators, the stainless steel dildo line radiates silk and suave. Their Contour dildo doesn't come in a leather purse as the njoy Eleven does, but mirror finish and sensual curves are nevertheless showstopping.
I wish I liked the Le Wand Contour more. It bludgeons my posterior fornix into near-blackout oblivion, its heft delivers in the oxytocin department, and its price tag is competitive.It's so close to God-tier. And, fuck, you could even get a Doxy classic (read my Die Cast review) with the money saved from choosing the Le Wand Contour over the njoy Eleven. This review would have been so easy.
If I hadn't already tried the Eleven, the Le Wand Contour would undoubtedly have been one of my favorite sex toys.
But as with the Le Wand Rechargeable massager, it's yet another case of, "If the queen had balls, she'd be the king."

I know my body. I know that, given a choice between an S‑curved dildo with round heads vs. one with flat heads, I'd choose the former the overwhelming majority of the time. That's coming from someone who's owned the njoy Eleven for five years and is still in the honeymoon phase with it.
But let's say you know your G‑spot well, and you have a different history than I do. Let's say you're comfortable the Le Wand Contour's weight.
In that case, saving substantially to shift from my personal "God-tier" to "demi-god tier" is hardly a compromise. To you, it's more a conscious power move. Wield your weapon proudly.

Thanks for the review, the details you provided helped me decide that the Contour would be worth getting (not redundant) and I'm very happy with it! I love the additional weight. If I position it so that gravity is in my favor, the weight actually makes it less work, not more.
We've also used it for temperature play and holds heat/cold longer than the Eleven. I see why Le Wand catches flak for design similarities sometimes but I do think the weight of this one makes it unique. Maybe it's cheaper to make a solid one, I don't know, but for me it's been great.
Since getting the Contour I am always reaching for it instead of the Eleven to use when I'm by myself, though my partner still prefers the Eleven to use on me. The shape difference is negligible to me, though again if I'm on my own it's nice to have something slightly smaller and I can "aim" it better on myself. But I think they are both great toys and have their places in our bedroom! Funny enough, I felt very meh about the wands from Le Wand, but the Contour has put them back on my radar. I really hope they'll come out with more in the stainless steel line.
Yup, I feel the same way about the rechargeable Le Wands, but their steel toys definitely have their place <3
Hey, thanks for the thorough review! Based on this, I bought an Eleven, from Come As You Are, thanks also for the referral to them!
And I have some insight, regarding the weight difference. When my Eleven arrived, I realized it wasn't nearly as heavy as it should be if it was solid. Similarly, the balance point is very near the middle, which shouldn't be true if the thicker end was solid. I considered measuring the mass and volume and calculating the density and comparing it to the density of stainless steel. However, a quick search shows that many vendors use the identical description, "The dildo is cast in 316 grade stainless steel and is hollow, meaning its lighter than other stainless steel dildos yet still satisfyingly weighty."
So there you have it. The Eleven is hollow, the Contour probably isn't. The differences in manufacturing process probably account for some of the price difference as well. (Also, I wrote to Le Wand to ask what type of stainless they use. They said "surgical!" but didn't give a grade number, so it's likely a cheaper alloy. That probably doesn't matter, ultimately, but makes me feel better about supporting njoy.)
I love this explanation so much!
I was really surprised by this review and that you don’t consider Le Wand toys to be rip-offs of nJoy toys. I understand your reasoning and really appreciate the level of detail that you go into explaining the differences between the two. Also how does a smaller toy weigh so much more? Totally unexpected.
