Design

Let’s start with how it looks: the In a Twist by Playboy Pleasure is, hands down, one of the classiest toys I’ve ever laid eyes on. It’s got a sleek glass shaft with elegant indented swirls that run the full length, think art museum meets bedroom drawer. The insertable length clocks in at 6.5 inches with a diameter of just under an inch (0.94", to be exact). It’s slender, smooth, but not what you’d call wide. So, if you’re someone who craves that full, stretched-out sensation, this might not be your match. But if you’re into something refined and just a little adventurous? Keep reading.
Experience

Once you’ve added a generous amount of lube, a glass vibrator becomes a bit of a wild card in the best and worst ways. It’s incredibly smooth and slippery, which means it can slide just about anywhere (fair warning: just about anywhere doesn’t mean everywhere, maintaining control can be a bit tricky!). That said, one major perk of glass toys is their ability to play with temperature. Want to turn things up or cool them way down? Run it under warm water or chill it in a bowl of ice for sensations you simply won’t get from silicone or plastic options.
One thing to keep in mind is this glass vibrator seems to be a little louder than their silicone siblings. It’s hard to say if it’s just the material, or how the motor interacts with it, but glass doesn’t exactly absorb sound—it kind of sings with it. Not a deal-breaker, but maybe not the toy you reach for when you're trying to be super discreet.
Quality

Playboy really got it right with this toy. I don’t know what kind of magic they worked behind the scenes, but wow it’s a stunner. Think: sleek, design-forward, and just plain pretty. Like something you’d proudly leave out on your nightstand, if you’re into that kind of thing. The finish is silky smooth, the build feels sturdy and high-end, and the magnetic charger snaps on with zero hassle (major win). There’s one button at the base is a small feature that makes a big difference. It’s easy to find, super responsive, and oddly satisfying to press. When I first unboxed it, I had a full-on “ooh” moment. From the packaging to the feel in my hand, it gave luxe, intentional, and seriously well-made vibes.
Price
At $47.99 on SheVibe (before shipping and tax), In a Twist is a pretty sweet deal considering everything you’re getting. The sleek design, high-quality build, and bonus potential for temperature play totally back up the price tag. Plus, the five-year warranty, that’s a huge win, especially for a product you can’t exactly return once it’s been, well, you know... used. My only gripe is it would’ve been nice if it came with a little storage bag or case. Just a small touch that would’ve made it feel a bit more complete.
Performance

This Playboy toy is slick! Like, no-friction, glides-in-like-butter slick. That might not be everyone’s vibe (pun intended), but I personally loved how different it felt compared to my usual toys. While it’s technically designed for penetration, it actually also shines as a supersized clitoral bullet. The vibrations aren’t super rumbly, which some folks might prefer, but paired with a wand its a total game-changer. Think: layered sensation, edge-of-the-bed kind of good.
Packaging

The outside of the box is genuinely eye-catching with a pearlescent, shimmery finish that catches the light in a really pretty way. There’s a magnetic clasp too, which gives it a luxe feel, and all the key info you’d want if you were browsing in a store. So, first impressions is pretty solid. Once you open it up, though, the vibe shifts a little. Inside, the toy is held in place by a basic clear plastic insert, with the charger and manual tucked underneath. Not bad, just not quite as impressive as the outside. Still, overall it is a pretty good unboxing experience.
Materials and care
The Playboy Pleasure In A Twist is a waterproof toy made of borosilicate glass which sounds intense, but just means it doesn’t heat up or cool down as quickly as regular glass. (Totally safe, by the way. I had questions too.) It’s also phthalate- and latex-free, so if you’ve got sensitive skin or allergies, you’re in the clear. The only part that isn’t glass is the button at the base, which is silicone with a little plastic ring. Otherwise? All good. As for cleaning: it genuinely couldn’t be easier. Just wash with soap and water, pat it dry, and pop it back in the box. That’s it.

We-Vibe Chorus: 'O' So Intimate!
The We-Vibe Chorus—and its pressure-sensitive remote (yes, you read that right! Just give it a squeeze to amp up the vibrations)—gets a gold star from me for delivering hands-free, blended orgasms during sex with my partner. Personally, I don’t orgasm easily from internal stimulation alone, let alone from intercourse, but the Chorus makes the whole experience way more enjoyable (wink if you know what I mean). After plenty of testing, we’ve found that this vibe shines best with a grinding motion rather than thrusting, making it a top-tier lovemaking toy in my book. Flying solo? No problem! Tuck it into snug underwear for a hands-free thrill, or pair it with a dildo for an added layer of sensation. Bonus tip: The remote-controlled feature makes it perfect for some sneaky play—whether you’re at home or feeling adventurous out and about. The charging/carry case that it comes with is also a splendid idea as it is discreet and keeps all dust off the toy and remote. Edit: we tried to use it late last night and it was confusing. Maybe keep it for a sober encounter.

Iroha Rin+: Wonderfully Squishy!
Overall, this toy brings something new to the table—and I’m into it. The tip is exactly as advertised: marshmallow soft. It’s got this pillowy give to it that’s honestly unlike any other toy I’ve used. I’m used to firmer textures that push back a bit, so the squish factor here was a fun surprise. And to be clear, different doesn't mean bad. It means interesting. It means they're onto something. One thing to flag, though: While the brand markets this as a G-spot vibe, I found it worked better as a mini wand. That’s not to say you can’t use it for internal stimulation—I just preferred it externally. The rumbly vibrations do a solid job on their own, but if you’re craving a bit more, you could absolutely pair it with a clitoral vibe (a bullet would do nicely) for that blended orgasm magic.

Satisfyer Triball 2: All of the External Stimulation!
The Satisfyer Triball 2 is definitely an intriguing little gadget—and when it comes to stimulation, it doesn’t hold back. Each of the three balls has its own motor, so you’re getting a whole lot of vibration happening at once (yes, it’s as intense as it sounds). That said, the toy is super bendy—maybe a little too bendy. I found myself wishing for a bit more firmness, especially when I was trying to apply pressure exactly where I wanted it. The flexibility can make it tricky to really press into those pleasure zones using just the handle. Still, I genuinely enjoy using it. The vibrations are nicely rumbly (not too buzzy!), and the shape? Pretty genius. The balls are designed to stimulate the clit, vaginal opening, and anus simultaneously—and in my case, they hit the mark perfectly. Of course, everyone’s anatomy is different, so your mileage may vary, but if it lines up for you, it’s a lot of sensation in a compact package.

Whether you're toy-curious or looking to add a new go-to to your collection, this one is absolutely worth your attention.
