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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    Playboy Royal Mini Wand is a Regal Experience — Especially for Newbies

    I would absolutely recommend the Royal Mini Wand to somebody who's never used a wand before or is looking for their first quality toy that won't break the bank and still comes in at under $100. It's a great first-time option if you're not ready for a larger wand but you want to experience the sensation. It's also helpful for those who don't want intense clitoral pulsing or sucking since it puts a lot of stimulation in this same area but spreads out the vibrations. If you're willing to pay for the Playboy name, it's a great first-time wand or toy, for that matter, and I'll definitely be using this one again.

    SheVibe Rocks-Off Chaiamo Vibrator Review

    Don't let this luxury looking vibrator fool you for one second, it may look classy and sleek, but it likes to get down and dirty in more ways than one! The Rocks-Off Chaiamo is a lipstick shaped vibrator designed to bring pinpoint accurate vibes to those special places. For some it may be too intense, even on the lowest settings, for others it may be bang on! It comes with 10 settings, 3 intensities and 7 patterns, equipped with a magnetic charger to juice up. Though it's super soft to touch and it glides so easily during use, it's also a BIG dust collector so definitely make sure to wipe it down before each use. There's no official IPX rating provided anywhere, just a claim that it's 100% waterproof, so proceed to enjoy bath time but I'd advise to do so with caution, same with clean up. There's no storage pouch provided with this toy, so you're on your own as far as how you want to store it in order to ensure it doesn't mingle with any of those rascally dust bunnies. Personally, it's a toy that was quite enjoyable for penetration, but too intense for external simulation. Though I enjoyed it, I think I'd reach for other toys before I reached for it again. Since it packs a huge punch I wouldn't totally discard it, it's definitely great for internal use, and a mini clitoral vibrator would pair perfectly with it for an all encompassing experience!

    Lovense Domi - These Vibrations are Game Changing

    I love this toy. It's absolutely going to become a new regular in my rotation. It was worth the price to me, and opens up some new play opportunities! Easy to clean, easy to use, nice to look at, sturdy, high-quality, long battery life... very little in the cons list. Highly recommend.

    shibari mini halo Review: Look like an Angel but feel like a Devil ;P

    Not entirely sure how this one got its name or how to make a pun of it. I think I'm going have to write my first non pun filled review right now... *shudder* It's very weird to say since I'm still somewhat of a newcomer myself, but I think this would be a good first time personal massager for someone that doesn't want to commit to getting a dildo just yet but wants a nice somewhat inconspicuous toy. It definitely feels nice as a regular massager, and is quite intense as a clitoral stimulator and with 20 patterns, 8 intensities, a 90-120 min use time and a memory retention feature you can't really go wrong.

  • OMG Plaisir Wearable Clitoral & G-Spot Vibe Review: OMG Plaisir or Absolute Pleasure?!

    NotSoInnocent

    OMG Plaisir Wearable Clitoral & G-Spot Vibe Review: OMG Plaisir or Absolute Pleasure?!

    The OMG Plaisir can be found on PinkCherry for $70 normally, but is currently on sale for $42 (July 2025). Though it isn't necessarily OMG type pleasure, it is still enjoyable for what it is. Right out the box, I'm ecstatic it comes with a storage/travel pouch. I just opened and reviewed how many toys in this batch and it's essentially the only one to do so lol which is disappointing. I'm disappointed in the lack of a buzzy indicator when the toy is turned on, as I'd prefer that over the hard-to-see/super-easy-to-miss indicator light. I want to be able to insert my toys discreetly in the restroom sometimes and then potentially turn it on once I get comfortable, as it might take me a moment to do so, and why waste the battery while I'm dickstracted by other things going on beforehand?! The charge time being less than the use time may be a downside for other users, not so much me as I'm seemingly easy to please lol. The battery operated remote allows for users to easily switch back and forth between the 10 settings, 3 single vibes and 7 patterns, while the toy itself is a single button operation. The dildo portion is girthy, ribbed and a decent size, while the nubs are interesting but not the best feature I've come across. Overall, I'd use this toy much like I'd use the Evolved Paradise one, for a slow burn finish while watching something action packed or cerebrally witty. For a fast paced, wham bam alone session I'd grab something else first. Due to the features of this one I'd potentially pick it over the Paradise one for a more "realistic" movie/show watching experience lol.

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

    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. 😉

    The Tame Dame Zee Bullet

    As far as bullet vibrators go, I would say this one sits in the middle ground of mid-range power—mid-range fun. The shape and exterior are pretty typical bullet design, precision tip, small and compact, and soft ABS plastic, which is pretty smooth on the glide. It has 3 vibration settings on the buzzy side (I could feel it way in there). While not packed with multiple patterns, the simplicity of the three-speed settings allows users to focus on finding the right level of vibration for their pleasure. It's rechargeable, which is great, and can be used on other parts of the body, too—externally only! Trust me, you don’t want to be fishing for this baby inside your body. It's rechargeable and has a long playtime, so you can take it on multiple trips on the pleasure tracks without worrying about popping out batteries or running out of juice. It’s also pretty quiet, water resistant, and has a one-button control.

  • We-Vibe Chorus: Good Vibes for Couples

    We-Vibe Chorus: Good Vibes for Couples

    Before I even start, I need to say that this is without a doubt THE best unboxing experience that I have ever come across with toys. Both my wife and I were blown away with that just for a start. It has little drawers in the box and to heck with a carrying bag...yeah...you get a whole carrying box that doubles as a charger! No dust and dirt is getting into this toy! The chorus is perfect for hands-free blended orgasms with penetrative sex. This toy works better for gentle lovemaking over going to pound town. Positions that involve grinding and riding work better as it pushes the clit vibrator up against her. As the man part of the deal, I can say that for me it feels good and is powerful. She loves it too and and it brings us closer. As it is hands free you can insert it under your underwear too and use the remote and/or app (both of which work very well) to get started and once she is warmed up, you can start taking things to the next level. On the topic of the remote (we prefer to use it over the app), the squeeze function is tops and is a genius way to give that extra boost without fiddling with buttons. Note that this is a partner toy and although you could use it with a dildo, I don't feel that that would be justified considering the price and how there are so many toys on the market that can be used for solo play. Fun Hint: You can use this for sneaky public play or while watching a movie.

  • Tracy's Dog Swirlii Review

    Sydney Screams

    Tracy's Dog Swirlii Review

    Tracy's Dog is known for affordably priced body-safe toys, and I think Swirlii is a great option from them. It's a reasonably priced wearable, panty vibrator that can be enjoyed anally or vaginally. The rotation on the internal end is a little louder than the vibrations, but you really have to be listening for it to hear it. For me, I wasn't able to achieve orgasm with Swirlii, but I really enjoyed the stimulation while strap-on topping and to edge myself while doing housework, writing, etc. Orgasms aren't always my goal when wearing a vibrator like this one, so I'm unbothered that it didn't get me there. It helped get me there faster when switching to a different type of stimulation, though! Overall, I think it's a great option for those looking for an affordable panty vibrator!
