My verdict
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.
Pros
Ribbing on the handle and tapered shape make the toy comfortable to hold and maneuver
20 patterns and 8 intensities offer a lot to be enjoyed - more than other toys
Soft silicone is easy to clean and water-resistant
Rechargeable with a 5-hour run time
Ribbed head and flexible neck
Cons
The texture of the handle and buttons are too similar, making them difficult to locate
Long charging time
Many of the patterns are too similar to differentiate
Design

Ava’s VIVV Massage Wand is a timeless yet modern toy. Designers made clever choices when it comes to texture, making the head ultra pleasurable with soft ripples and the handle comfortable to grip with candy cane-like ribbing. 3 buttons sit on the side of the handle in the center, easy to see but a disaster to search for when in use. A metal cap sits on the end opposite the head, framing a charging port. The plug is covered with a soft layer of silicone designed to hide the port and keep water out, while safe to clean it’s ready for shower play and cannot be submerged.

Experience

The Ava VIVV Massage Wand is a great standard wand. Its physical length makes playtime easy and explorative, though it’s not as quiet as Ava promises. I found the soft ribbing on the head and flexible neck the best features of this toy. While the endless settings and intensities are nice, 18 of the 20 vibration patterns did nothing for me. Two of them, though, hit the ball out of the park. The toy takes a little getting used to, and the patterns take a while to cycle through, but 8 levels of intensity make building up to a climax seamless. The intuitive memory function, allowing you to pick up where you left off, wasn’t my favorite. It’s nice that I didn’t have to cycle back through all the settings to find the right pattern. However, because the intensity settings go from low to high and then high to low, rather than cycling through, I had to interrupt my session just to go down one notch of intensity. Overall, I really enjoyed this toy. There are a few changes I’d make, but they’re small.

Quality

Quality materials, construction, and unique design decisions make the Massage Wand feel luxurious. A small covering over the charging port makes the toy simple to clean with toy cleaner or anti-bacterial soap and water. Overall, this toy leaves nothing to be desired in terms of quality.

Price

At a shockingly affordable price, $24, the Ava VIVV Massage Wand is surprisingly luxurious. Maybe it’s the color, the variety of settings, or clever design features - whatever makes this toy magic, it’s an excellent option, especially for the price.

Performance

I have zero complaints about this toy’s performance. Once I found the right pattern and positioned the buttons under my pointer finger, I had a wild ride. I recommend getting to know the toy first; after that, it’s easy to use, straightforward, and fun.

Packaging

Ava designed a sleek, pastel box for the VIVV Massage Wand, making the toy feel like a wellness product. The toy comes with a USB charging cable, storage bag, and user manual. A wall plug is not provided for the charging cable, but any USB wall adapter will work.

Materials and care

Made from premium silicone, the VIVV Massage Wand is easy to clean. Power the device off and unplug it from the charger, then rinse with warm water and antibacterial soap. Do one final rinse with hot water and pat dry with a towel.

  • Our Erotic Journey Zodiac Mini Vibe Review

    The Cancer Mini Vibe, and the whole Zodiac Collection from Our Erotic Journey, is an absolute vibe. You’re supposed to order the toy that aligns with your zodiac sign. Each is different, palm-sized, and based on the symbol of that zodiac. My verdict as a sex toy: it’s cute, and I felt adorable using it. Overall, it’s a really fun alternative to your standard bullet vibrator, but it is basically just a cute bullet vibrator. The toy has 10 vibration modes, is around 2.5” wide, and is shaped like a little cartoon crab. My verdict on the toy’s vibe: brilliant! The box is designed to look like a tarot card deck, and included with the toy is a crisply designed card describing your zodiac’s sexual style and compatibility. The packaging of this toy and its presentation made me enjoy it more. Because it has such a vibe, it stands out. The legs and eyes of the crab add dimension to the toy, making it much more interesting than similar vibrators.

  • Lelo Sona: Sleek and Sexy

    Wow! The Lelo Sona Sonic Clitoral Massager is a gorgeous toy—it comes in a range of colors, though my favorite is black with gold trim and a beautiful curve accented by glimmering metal and sleek silicone. The buttons are interestingly on the bottom of the toy but made accessible by the gracious curve of its handle. The intensity changes by holding the button down while the toy automatically increases or decreases strength, an odd feature, but I got used to it very quickly. The air pulsing technology is smooth and well-contained within the rim of the suction head. My only complaint is that the head is on the smaller side. This only means that the toy is targeted, giving you more precision in your pleasure. The packing and presentation of the toy feel sexy. It’s like being handed a VIP invitation. There’s something mysterious and sleek about it. Overall, this is a fantastic toy, delivers incredible orgasms, and looks good while doing it.

  • Utimi Restraining Thigh Straps: Sign me up!

    The Utimi Restaining Thigh Straps and blindfold are incredible. They’re made of comfortable materials and have adjustable straps, ensuring the right fit every time. Ultimately, they’re a pretty simple design without extra bells and whistles. To put it on, loosen the thigh straps. Then, slip both thighs into their respective loops, allowing the connecting strap to lay across your lap. With the straps still loose, wrap the padded neck strap around the back of your neck and begin tightening the buckles. That’s it. It looks way more intimidating than it is. My partner and I had a lot of fun playing with this setup. The blindfold is soft, imitation silk that feels nice on your eyes. You have a range of position options to try, and despite being bound together, you can still move or be guided between them. Overall, this bondage device is dominating and comfortable.

    Kiiroo ProWand Is a Little Bit Too Intense for Me

    I am pretty new to using wands and having worked in a store that sold such toys, I knew all the warnings going into it. I've heard they can desensitize you, for one thing. Well, the ProWand is definitely THAT powerful. It was a bit too much for me even on the lowest setting. I wanted to like it and enjoy it, but there was no way to line it up just right that it didn't feel like more than I could possibly handle. However, if you're a wand user already, this one is a great addition to your collection because it has one really interesting feature.

    Satisfyer Double Fun – Double the Fun or Double the Frustration? 🤔

    The Couple’s Vibrator That Sounded Exciting—But Left Us Frustrated When it comes to couple’s vibrators, I always think of the We-Vibe. We never actually owned one, but reading about it made us curious about this kind of toy. The idea of something that could bring extra stimulation for both partners during penetration sounded awesome. So, when we saw the Satisfyer Double Fun as a free promo gift, we figured, ‘Why not?’ Free sex toys are the best kind of sex toys, right? Worst case, we’d have some fun experimenting. Spoiler alert: We did not have fun. 🫠 On paper, it checks all the boxes—flexible U-shape, strong vibrations, app control, waterproof. But in reality? It felt more like a third wheel than a sexy enhancement. We gave it multiple tries, hoping it would grow on us. At the end, we just never clicked with it. After about 10 tries, it found its final resting place in our bedside drawer, untouched and collecting dust. So, what went wrong? Let’s get into it. 😉

    Hop to the "O" with the Bwild Classic Bunny

    The Bwild Classic Bunny Vibrator is a soft, silicon, beginner-friendly rabbit that’s more about gentle vibes than mind-blowing power. It’s a solid pick for those dipping their toes into dual stimulation toys, but if you’re a power seeker, this bunny might feel a little tame. The design is undeniably fun and playful with little floppy "clit bunny" ears. The toy is actually powered by two AAA batteries and that really surprised me (in not the best way). These batteries are of course, easy to source but they run out quicker than you’d like if you’re planning to use it in extended play sessions. The internal arm is slim and curved for G-spot stimulation, but it doesn’t penetrate very deeply, mainly because of its size, making it better suited for gentle exploration rather than deep dives. The external bunny ears are flexible and soft, designed to focus on clitoral stimulation, but the 5 vibration modes are all on the buzzier side rather than the famed rumbly. So, think more tease, less knock out. Cleaning is relatively easy since it’s made of body-safe silicone, but it’s not waterproof. You’ll need to wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap or toy cleaner, being cautious around the battery compartment to avoid water damage. For its price point, this bunny is worth a shot if you prefer a softer touch, but it’s not going to give you that deep, powerful stimulation that some might crave. It’s more about light, approachable fun for those who enjoy a softer vibe.

    Kiss and Tell with the Iroha Lipstick Vibe

    Tenga did not disappoint with this one, with a design that grabs your attention and a build that feels practical and sturdy. This vibrator falls in the mini vibrator niche, fitting perfectly in the palm of your hand but offering way more to hold on to than other vibes in its category. It looks like a rolled-up lipstick with a pointed soft tip featuring a little slit (which I love) for direct clit stimulation. It comes with a build-up vibration setting that starts slow and goes up to mid-range buzzy intensity with a twist of the base (like winding up a real lipstick). The vibration intensity from lower to higher settings can be felt quite deep, but think more leg-stretching than toe-curling. It can be used solo or during partner play and has a good grip on it. The base dial can be screwed off to replace the battery when it runs out. The battery is kind of a downside; this vibrator ticks all the boxes of premium, but the battery limits use (it can be replaced, but who likes popping in batteries every session or two?). I took it into the shower and had no issues with play, so it’s definitely waterproof, but I don’t think full-on submerging in the bath would be a good idea unless it’s very shallow. All in all, it’s a quick, compact vibrator that gets the job done and deserves a space in your bedside table or handbag.

    Lovense: Lush 3; Is the price really worth it?

    Personally, I love my Lush. It’s one that stays in my bedside drawer, along with a few other choice toys. It’s versatile, and the low noise makes it great for getting into naughty fun at not so naughty times. The lack of clitoral stimulation, paired with the price stops me from giving it a higher review. Is it worth the money? When it’s on sale, absolutely.
