My verdict

If I wanted to speak Morse Code, I’d buy a Ham radio, not a vibrator. Don’t get me wrong, this is a beautifully designed, high-quality vibrating wand. However, I have a very specific personal issue with this toy. The wand has 20 patterns, and while I appreciate that each pattern is nuanced and probably appeals to users who have been looking for that specific “dot dot dash” vibration, I could have done without 18 of them. For me, the first and eighteenth vibration patterns are the ones I want. And I’d love to be able to start with one, go to the other, and go back and forth until I’m tired. But I can’t do that with the Ava VIVVO Wand because I have to cycle through all the patterns to find the right one. And because they’re all so similar, I easily miss the one I’m looking for and have to cycle through all 20 again. This probably sounds so petty, but when you need that little shift in vibration, you don’t want to click through 17 that are just “meh.” I think this part of the design is bothersome enough to ruin the toy entirely.

Pros

Soft silicone feels great on your body
Special button to immediately hit maximum intensity
Easy to use
7 hour battery life

Cons

Too many vibration patterns
Fairly simple wand

Design

The Ava VIVVO Massage Wand is a truly beautiful toy. It arrives in packaging that doubles down on the toy being a wellness product. The quality of silicone and materials combined with a sleek and beautiful design make the toy feel luxurious. Aesthetically, it is a wonderful toy. Its extremely easy to use. The toy has 4 buttons, all clearly marked and easy to differentiate. The top button is exclusively to raise and lower intensity, the next button controls pattern, the next is on/off, and the bottom button immediately engages maximum power. That last button is genius, and the overall layout of the toy is well-designed and enjoyable. I just can’t get over having 20 patterns–most of them are unnecessary, and having to cycle through all of them to find the one you want is inefficient. This poor design is difficult for me to get past. All this being said, if the pattern issue does not bother you, the rest of the toy is immaculately designed.

Experience

Starting off, the Ava VIVVO Wand is marvelous. It’s so soft to the touch and feels great against your body. I started out with the lowest setting of the first vibration pattern, a constant vibrating with no pulses. I moved through intensities to try out the range and was really pleased. I’m not usually interested in different patterns, but the nuances of all 20 variations Ava had were fun to try. Most of them were too abrupt and unnatural to feel good. But, pattern 17 or 18 was sensational. It was too intense to start out with, so I wound up starting with the first pattern then cycling through to the second when I was ready. The annoying part of the experience came when I waited through 16 patterns to get to the one I wanted. To be sure I didn’t miss it, I would wait through a second or two of each pattern on the way. It took longer than I wanted and distracted me from the overall experience. Once I got there, it was incredible, and I’m so happy that I found a pattern I actually liked. I just feel like Ava should’ve made this whole process more efficient and pleasurable for users if they were going to offer it.

Quality

The quality of the Ava VIVVO Massage Wand is unmistakable as soon as you look at the box. It’s well crafted, has excellent materials, and is reliable. The wand is water-resistant and has a substantial one-year warranty. It only takes 4 hours to reach a full charge of 7 hours, so its super easy to plug in before work and come home to charged. The wand comes with a storage bag, furthering its luxurious feel.

Price

This wand sells for $40 on the Ava website but is currently (March 2025) on sale for $31. All things considered (including my ultra-specific, personal problem), this is an excellent purchase. For what you’re getting, $31 is a steal.

Packaging

Ava designed a sleek box with a frosted window hiding the toy. Its closes on the side with magnets and opens to reveal the toy. Instructions and toy features are printed in beautiful type inside the box cover and along the back. It comes with a USB charging cord, storage bag, and user manual.

Materials and care

The toy is water-resistant and easy to clean. Use soap and warm water, toy cleaner, or an unscented, anti-bacterial wet wipe to do the job. Make sure you don’t submerge the toy in water, and no shower play.

  • Plus One Dual Vibrating Arc: Full of Surprises

    The Dual Vibrating Arc from Plus One features a simple, sleek design that packs a punch. For once, a ‘personal massager’ that is actually lovely to use on your back and between your legs. The curved design and soft silicone fit comfortably in my hand while providing targeted internal stimulation. With two size options and multiple speeds, the Dual Vibrating Arc is perfect for finding the g-spot and p-spot, making it a gender-inclusive toy. Strong vibrations and ergonomic hold make this an excellent option for clitorial or external play, as well. The toy’s length made playing on my back and stomach easy. However, the toy did let me down a little. The shape of the arch doesn’t allow for simultaneous dual stimulation. While only one side vibrates at a time - already a little disappointing - the vibrations are so strong they made my hand tingle - not a bad thing, but not the most comfortable for longer play.

  • Confusing Magic: the Ava VIVV Massage Wand

    The VIVV Massage Wand by Ava is an adorable, humbly sized vibrating wand with a flexible neck for precision pressure and pleasure. The high-quality, soft, silicone ribbed head adds an unexpected dimension to vibrations. However, the diagonal ribbing on the handle makes finding the buttons difficult and can turn an attempt to adjust intensity or vibration pattern into a lost orgasm. Slightly making up for the confusing texture, the Ava VIVV features 20 vibration patterns and 8 intensities. I say ‘slightly’ because at least 10 of the 20 vibration patterns are redundant. Their slight differences offer the nuance needed for precise pleasure, and taking a few extra minutes to cycle through and find the right one isn’t the worst way to spend your time. The only other hitch in this device is that it resumes whatever intensity and pattern you used before when you turn it on. Sometimes, this is great. Other times, it’s nice to reset and start out easy.

  • Plus One Vibrating Bullet: Average Travel Size Vibes

    The Plus One Vibrating Bullet is a simple, easy to use, travel-size vibe. The no-frills, straightforward design gets the job done. This isn’t the first toy I’d pull out of my drawer, but it’s the backup I like knowing is there. Its size makes it great for partnered play, as it doesn’t get in the way and can easily be moved around. With only one button, getting confused or struggling to change settings is nearly impossible. The 10 vibration settings offer a range of intensities and patterns that are standard for most vibrators. Included in the box is a finger sleeve, which majorly elevates the experience and pleasure of the bullet. Soft, high-quality silicone makes this toy fully waterproof, allowing for shower play. Overall, this is a very average toy. It satisfies but doesn’t over-deliver.

  • Smooth and Beginner Friendly: Plus One’s Vibrating Wand

    The Plus One Vibrating Wand is smooth in every sense of the word. Suave, moderately powerful vibrations radiate from its broad, soft head with a flexible neck, giving you total control of where the vibes go and how much pressure they apply. Overall, I was satisfied with this toy - it doesn’t have the strength of other wands, but the cadence of the vibrations rolls instead of pounds, making this wand more sensual than most vibrators. It has 10 settings varying in intensity and pattern, is cordless, and fully waterproof. The silicone surrounding the toy is soft and feels nice in your hand as you maneuver the wand. It's a great first wand or vibrator, but I wouldn’t recommend it to experienced players looking for a new toy. For my taste, it was a little too simple. However, there really isn’t anything to complain about.

    They Shrunk the Snail Vibe and Ruined the Best Part: An Honest Review of the Snail Vibe Gizi

    The Snail Vibe Gizi takes the bold, brilliant concept of the original Curve and kind of ruins it. Gone is the ability to thrust with strong vibrations. What’s left is a perfectly average dual-stimulation vibrator dressed up in the shape of something far more innovative. It’s silky smooth silicone, well-made, and technically works but if you’ve used the original, this feels like a hollow sequel that didn't need to have happened.

    iroha Mini: A Small Massager That Packs a Punch

    The iroha Mini is an excellent size, making it easy to hold in your hand and have hours of fun with. Unfortunately, it's battery-operated and not rechargeable. Still, you can get up to 5 hours of playtime with it before changing the battery. If you like a fast vibe, this will make your day. If not, it is a bit much to handle and you'll want to carefully play around to find the right places to use this massager. It definitely does the trick with a little experimentation and patience.

    Sexy Pot Remote Egg - Let us “Water” it well!

    Surprisingly Fun and Discreet – A Unique Experience! Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first got The Sexy Pot, but after giving it a try, I have to say, it’s a fun, playful, and surprisingly powerful little toy. The design is super discreet, which is something I really appreciate. It looks just like a cute little potted plant, making it easy to leave out in plain sight without raising any eyebrows. The pot itself is just for decoration, which adds to the playful aesthetic. If you’re looking for something fun, quirky, and effective, this is definitely worth trying. The design is playful yet practical, and the vibration settings offer a good variety. The fact that it blends in so well makes it a great option for those who prefer a discreet yet powerful toy. Definitely a conversation starter, but only if you want it to be!

    We-Vibe Jive – Quiet, Rumbly & Kinda Frustrating 😅

    A Quiet Overachiever with Some Connection Issues 😅 Jive isn’t the loudest toy in the drawer – literally or figuratively – but it definitely has a quiet charm. With deep, rumbly vibrations and a super discreet design, it’s kind of like the introvert at the party: unassuming at first, but surprisingly fun once you spend some time with it. It’s sleek, comfy to wear, and nearly silent, which makes it great for public play or a subtle tease during dinner. That said, the Bluetooth connectivity is a real letdown. If you’re in it for smooth long-distance control, prepare for some frustration (and a lot of reconnecting). For solo use or short-range couple play, though? Jive delivers a cozy, enjoyable experience – especially if you’re into those deep internal vibrations without too much buzz on the outside. Just don’t expect mind-blowing G-spot precision or tech wizardry. If public play, long-term wear, and rumbly vibes are what you’re into, Jive could be your new little secret. And if you're curious how it stacks up against other vibes like the Lush 3? Stick around – comparison coming up. 😉

    Something to Lust About: Wonderlust Harmony

    The Wonderlust Harmony is a flexible little number which has a smooth, soft-touch and a curved design that feels great against the skin. The idea of dual stimulation—internal and external— with this toy initially sounded great, but the clit hood on the external arm is a bit too gentle. It's almost unnoticeable vibrations across all 20 modes, which might be a little underwhelming if you're after intense clitoral stimulation. The internal arm on the other hand, does a great job of providing varied stimulation (my boat was pleasantly rocked). The power is nothing to write home about but the mix of buzzy and rumbly vibrations hit the spot. It's also waterproof and incredibly easy to clean, making it low-maintenance and travel-friendly. If you’re someone who enjoys steady pleasure, the Wonderlust is for you.

    Our Erotic Journey's Virgo Mini Vibe Review!

    I love this little vibrator! The Virgo Mini Vibe had just enough kick, at the right price, to be a perfect addition to your toy collection. I love that the Virgo Mini Vibe is shaped like a woman, (a virgin), to resemble the meaning of the zodiac sign, "Virgo,". I am a Virgo and was born September 13, and I just love that this toy comes from an entire collection of toys, curated to fit your zodiac sign. It's quiet enough to be sneaky in public, charges quickly, and is small enough to fit right in your purse, or bag, etc. The silicon is high quality, medical grade silicon. And the price, for what you get can't be beat. I couldn't find a lot of instructions online, or see how long it actually takes to charge or how long the battery life is, but I have only charged it once, for about an hour, and it has lasted a couple uses at this point. The only issue I have with this toy is that the vibrations are not as strong as I would prefer, and therefore, I am giving this toy a 4/5.

    The Pure Envy Oasis Review: May Have You Singing Wonderwall

    I really wanted this to be the one that saves me, but I don't know if it's really my Wonderwall. lol The Pure Envy Oasis is a dual ended triple threat: vibrating dildo, clit licking action, and a suction function with two attachments. The suction feature is operated by two buttons, one you can hold for 3 seconds so it does a continuous suck or press and control yourself and one to release the overall suction. The little tongue on its own is smoothly textured but comes with a little grippy to add a bit more sensation, is operated by one button that's held for a moment to power it on and then pressed to cycle through its 7 lovely licking modes. The vibrating thick boy dildo end is pretty decent and has 10 features that are controlled with one button as well, hold to power on and press to cycle through. This is one of the most unique toys in my collection thus far and leaves me with mixed feelings. I love, or least really want to love, the licking feature, as it does feel delightful but it's a bit more cumbersome to keep in place than other toys with a similar feature. The dildo end is quite nice, has I believe one of the thicker girths in my collection so far so there's a bit of variety in that category now and the vibrations are decent. The suction features has me dumbfounded lol, I think it's definitely user error but I don't find it to be an enjoyable feature personally but I did find it useful as a wall/lid suction cup should I ever decide to go down the hands free rabbit hole someday.

    Playboy - In a Twist: Glass Vibrators for the Win

    Okay, this toy is something else, in the best way because it's glass and it vibrates. Yes, you read that right, I was genuinely surprised (and a little fascinated) when I first got my hands on it. The sensations it delivers are definitely different from your average silicone vibe. For one, the vibrations lean toward the buzzy side, and the entire 6.5-inch shaft has these shallow indentations that look cool but don’t really add much in terms of texture during use. Once you lube it up, and you absolutely should, it becomes super slick. Like, really slick. (Maybe don’t use this one for butt stuff. It’s a little too easy for it to slip, and no one wants an awkward ER visit on their sex résumé.) That said, the glass material makes it perfect for temperature play. You can run it under warm or cool water before use for a little extra sensory fun, just steer clear of anything too hot, because ouch.
