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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ISEXSE Powder Puff Vibrator: Never leaving home without it!

    The ISEXSE Powder Puff Clitoral Vibrator is the best bullet vibrator I’ve ever used. It isn’t exactly a bullet; it’s more egg-shaped and has a different texture, but the compact size makes it an excellent replacement for a bullet. There’s one button on the bottom of the toy that turns it on and switches between vibrating modes. On the other end is about half an inch of soft, plush silicone with nothing hard underneath. The silicone pad (for lack of a better word) has a little give to it and fits the shape of wherever you’re trying to stimulate better than more rigid vibrators. I honestly didn’t know this was what I was looking for in a small vibrator. The power behind this toy is wild, but it doesn’t rattle your hand. The silicone pad at the end somehow conducts the vibrations just perfectly, and the giggle of the silicone adds to the fun. The only downside is the quality doesn’t feel very high. It’s a great-looking toy, but judging by the sometimes non-responsive button and a slight squeaking noise, I don’t see this toy lasting much longer than a year. In spite of all this, the Powder Puff Vibratory completely blew my expectations out of the water.

    DOXY Die Cast R Review: To die for!

    Oh. My. God. 😮‍💨 This thing is powerful. You're working with a big wand, so you're going to get big power. Not to say that this toy is perfect, but it's definitely one of my favorites. If you get this toy, you're definitely going to have a fun time. The toy excels at just hammering away at you. It's a great bit of fun that I don't get tired of. I would say that its only weaknesses are in its design, but the pros far outweigh the cons. This is definitely one of the best wands (and sex toys) that I currently own.

    Hype G spot and Clitoral Vibe by Romp Review

    This toy is a steal! It gets straight to the point. It’s perfect to use alone or with a partner. The Hype G spot and Clitoral Vibe by Romp is quiet enough to keep to yourself, and holds a charge long enough for a full hour of play time! Overall I would give this guy a 4.5/5. I just wish the vibrations were slightly stronger and maybe the charge time didn’t take so long!

    FemmeFunn Klio Triple Action Thumping Rabbit Vibrator is My Absolute Favorite!!!

    FemmeFunn Klio is my absolute favorite rabbit vibrator that I own, with 3 powerful motors that stimulate the clitoris, A-spot, and G-spot for intense blended orgasms. It has 5 internal thumping speeds, 10 internal vibration modes, and 3 external thumping speeds. Each of the motors can be controlled individually to customize your pleasure. The body-safe silicone feels luxurious to the touch, and this vibrator is 100% submersible in water. It's rechargeable and available in two colors. The price is high, but FemmeFunn has some of the most powerful motors I've experienced. This toy is NOT for beginners, unless you're really brave!

    The Swan Sceptre Left Me Speechless

    The Swan Sceptre feels royal. It’s massive—the head is the size of my palm. And the vibrations are out of this world. They call their most intense setting “Earthquake Mode,” you could definitely measure it on the Richter Scale. Most toys that offer dual stimulation, clitoral and penetration, lack in at least one department. But not the Sceptre. The insertable length is actually long enough to insert. I am so happy with this wand. As with all near perfect toys, there are downsides. The insertable end doesn’t vibrate, it seems like a missed opportunity to me. And the buttons are horribly laid out. I’ve checked the website and user manual to confirm, but the top button has a “power” symbol on it, though it controls the speed. The bottom button button is the on/off switch and doesn’t affect speed at all. It’s just odd and it feels like the construction might have been off. Also, the lowest vibration setting is still quite intense—that’s not a complaint, just a warning to some users.

    Lovense Lush 4: The Next Level of Egg Vibrators

    The Lovense Lush 4 is, hands down, one of the best app-controlled egg vibes out there right now. The vibrations? Intense. Even before you connect it to the app, there’s a solid variety of speeds and patterns to play with. That said, we almost always default to the classic steady buzz—sometimes simple is best. Once you link it up via Bluetooth, though, the real fun begins. The app gives you endless control over vibration intensity and patterns, and it even lets you sync multiple Lovense toys at once. We paired the Lush 4 with the Tenera 2 for some clit stimulation, and let’s just say, that combo did not disappoint. Compared to the Lush 3, this model smooths out the power levels—lower settings are softer and quieter, while the higher ones still pack that deep, rumbly punch. The improved quietness and strong app connection make it perfect for some sneaky public play, a little tease before bed, or a spicy movie night on the couch. Biggest complaint? No storage bag. Lovense, where exactly are we supposed to stash these toys?

    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. 😉
