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

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    Satisfyer Mission Control Review: Houston We Have Liftoff!

    "Mission Control, this is NotSoInnocent, it seems this rocket was able to take us further than we could have ever imagined!" This is "one small step" further into the realm of clitoral stimulation toys that can help you take a "giant leap" into ecstasy! If Buzz Lightyear had to satisfy you with a rocket (that wasn't his own), this would be the one! All puns aside, I would definitely recommend this product! The variety of settings, the power levels and the waterproof rating make it an awesome companion, while its adorable nature makes it easy to leave it out on a nightstand as a cute space themed dickeration.

    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.

  • Ambi – The Bullet That Can’t Outbuzz, But Might Outsmart Them All

    Ambi – The Bullet That Can’t Outbuzz, But Might Outsmart Them All

    Smart, Smooth & Buzzier Than Expected We weren’t expecting Ambi to stay. Not with the Swan Bullet flexing its power and the Tango X rumbling like a jackhammer in disguise. But then Ambi pulled a move we didn’t see coming: it adapted. It didn’t try to win by force. It won by finesse. ☺️ It’s not the strongest bullet we’ve tested. On pure vibration power, it loses the race to both Swan and matches Tango. But it doesn’t need to be the strongest because Ambi does something different. It plays with you. Learns with you, and syncs with your vibe, your scene, and your pace. During couple play, it fit seamlessly into every position we tried: missionary, cowgirl, and spooning. The toy delivered steady, well-placed clit stimulation without ever being in the way. That’s rare because most vibrators either jab or vanish under the sheets. What really sold me was the interactive side. Being able to sync Ambi to my favorite videos via the Lovense app turned this from a “nice little toy” into a full mood experience. The way it pulsed with the scene, flowed with the audio, and stayed right in the sweet spot without me touching a thing? That’s not a feature. That’s a game changer. Sure, I’ll still grab Tango X when I want a deeper punch, and the Swan Bullet for those buzzy, brain-melting quickies. But Ambi has carved out its own space in my rotation. It’s my go-to when I want control, comfort, and a little intimacy with my toy – when I want something that gets smarter the more I use it.

  • The Swan Sceptre Left Me Speechless

    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.

  • CalExotics Lock-N-Play Remote Suction Panty Teaser Review: Suck on This!

    CalExotics Lock-N-Play Remote Suction Panty Teaser Review: Suck on This!

    CalExotics Lock-N-Play Suction Panty Teaser runs around $107 on their site, but can currently be found on sale on PinkCherry for $60 (July 2025). I would say that this is more worth the $60 price than the $100 price, but honestly I don't think it's even worth that. Though I love the air pulse feature, especially on a pattern, nothing else about it screams luxury, high end or worth more than the toys I just received from Amazon for under $25 that got me off faster and had more stuff all around. This two motor toy is a one brain operation whether it's by the button on the back or the remote, despite the remote almost seeming like it could be two with its XO design. The dual headed charger is awesome, the amount of features (12) is nice, the memory retention is something I don't mind, the flat design makes it desirable and the potential waterproof nature is okay. The downsides are the 40-45min use time, lack of storage pouch and single control operation but they aren't enough to deter me from reaching for it again.

    Swan Sceptre Review: Will Really Shift Your Gears!

    "Ladies and gentleman, this isn't the Royal Court, it's the Grand Prix! So start your engines!!" I feel "Sceptre" is a misnomer, if anything, the name should've been "The Gear Shift"! The shape of the device could easily be considered a gear shift, and not only does it sound like it's housing a V8 engine, but it feels like it too! Though it's personally not my favorite toy thus far, its definitively powerful vibrations more than get the job done and I'd gladly recommend it to any user wanting to cruise the Autobahn like a Queen!

Over all it's beginner friendly, aesthetic, decent price point and it just really could be the *Cherry on top* of your collection. 🍒✨

    It’s (as of my knowledge) the only one of its kind on the market. The plasma ball is a lot of fun to mess with, and for the price of a Plasma Ball Light you could get from the mall, you can have one that brings you a whole other kind of pleasure. It’s definitely something I’m keeping in my toy rotation.
