Iroha Midori – The Softest Touch We’ve Ever Felt

Cloudy With a Chance of Pleasure

This might be the softest little thing we’ve ever laid hands on – no joke. The Iroha Midori looks like it floated down from a dream, maybe born from the gentle collision of two clouds. While it’s technically an external vibe, it might just pass as a modern art piece if left out on your nightstand. Seriously, who knew a vibrator could be this… adorable?

Let’s talk form: The Midori is shaped a bit like a chubby bird or a little chick 🐥 – rounded at the back with a gentle upward curve at the front, which gives it a playful but targeted edge. The whole bottom is flat, allowing it to rest easily on its unique charging pad. (Yes, it literally comes with a magnetic charging base that looks like a mini wireless charging station for your phone. Pure luxury.)

What struck us first? The weight. It’s perfect – heavy enough to feel high-quality and grounded, but not so much that it ever feels clunky. And then… that texture. We’re not exaggerating when we say it’s unlike anything we’ve ever felt. We’ve held countless toys, but nothing with this exact feel. It’s silky-smooth, almost velvety, and has this pillowy give that’s soft but structured. More on that in the materials section, because it deserves its own moment.

At just about 100g and measuring 7,7cm long, 5,9cm wide, and 3,9cm tall (about 3.0” × 2.3” × 1.5” for our US friends), it’s compact without being dinky. Completely waterproof (up to 50cm deep), dust-resistant, and wrapped in medical-grade silicone, it’s clearly designed for durability and comfort.

Controls? Simple: three intensity levels and two patterns – that’s it. But the elegance is in the simplicity. This toy doesn’t try to be everything. It tries to be one thing, and nails it.

We went for the Nadeshiko Pink color, and honestly? It’s lovely. A soft, muted pastel that feels grown-up, gentle, and subtle – not bubblegum, not Barbie, just a calming blush tone that suits the entire vibe (pun fully intended). ☺️

A Cloud for the Clit ☁️

The Iroha Midori doesn’t pretend to be everything — and that’s exactly why it works so well. No gimmicks, no smart features, no overstimulation. Just a smooth, squishy clitoral vibe with a shape and softness we haven’t experienced in any other toy.

Let’s start with charging: you’ll need around 2 hours, which gives you 90–100 minutes of playtime. It’s solid, though we would’ve preferred a least a full 1:1 ratio. But as soon as you hold it in your hand, you forget all about that — because this toy feels like nothing else.

We’re not exaggerating when we say this is the softest vibrator we've ever touched. The outer layer compresses up to 0.5–1 cm (0.2–0.4 in) like a high-end stress ball. It’s cool, smooth, and squishy in a way that instantly feels luxurious. It’s the kind of toy you instinctively want to fidget with — and somehow that tactile pleasure carries over into use.

Best Way to Use It? Let It Nest In

The design is simple: a rounded “body” that narrows into a small upward-pointed tip. While there are a few ways to use it, we’ve found one position that works best — and one that... doesn’t.

Least effective for us? Placing the big body over the mons and using the tip to reach the clit. It works, but it doesn’t quite “lock in” and can feel like you're constantly adjusting.

Far better: placing the larger body directly over the vaginal opening, so it gently presses into the labia, while the tip rests squarely on the clit. This allows the toy to sit snugly and deliver vibration to two highly sensitive zones simultaneously. What really surprised us: it can actually stay in place on its own. If you position it right — body over the vaginal entrance, tip on the clit — and then gently press your thighs together, Midori kind of snuggles into position. This placement felt both focused and expansive, and especially effective on days when Leni was feeling more sensitive. The squishy layer made it easy to modulate the strength just by adjusting pressure — something you can't do with hard-shelled toys.

It doesn’t lock in forever, of course, and you’ll probably need to readjust after a while. But for a soft, squishy toy with no internal arm or wearable strap? That’s pretty impressive. It’s one of the few vibes we’ve used where "set and forget" kind of works... at least for a little while.

Vibration & Controls

Midori’s control system is as simple as it gets: one button, three intensities, and two patterns. The lowest setting is surprisingly strong, but the softness keeps it from overwhelming. By the time you get to the highest, it’s powerful — not wand-powerful, but definitely enough to satisfy most people.

Leni’s favorite mode? The reverse ramp — a pattern that starts strong and gradually fades out. This direction is rare and incredibly effective for edging or building up slower waves of pleasure. The other pattern — high-speed pulses at full power — was a bit too much, bordering on overstimulation.

The single button has a solid click, is easy to find, and hasn’t failed us once, even with lube involved. That said, once the toy is pressed against the body, reaching the button can be awkward, especially with the pressure needed to press it. Still manageable, just something to keep in mind.

Sound, Feel & Real-World Use

Sound-wise? It’s not silent. 🥲 Despite its size, Midori hums with a buzz that’s noticeable under a blanket — more than expected from a toy this small. It’s not “wake-the-neighbors” loud, but it’s also not your stealthiest option.

Still, Leni kept coming back to it — especially for external stimulation. And because the motor is housed near the tip but the whole toy vibrates softly, it creates this cocoon-like, “all-over” stimulation that’s surprisingly immersive.

In short: it’s not the strongest, smartest, or most feature-packed vibe — but Midori finds a sweet spot for people who crave a gentle, weighted, plush-feeling experience with just enough power to make you melt.

If we had to sum it up: Midori feels like what you'd expect from a toy that knows it’s premium. The entire body is wrapped in this cloud-soft, matte silicone that still hasn't lost its velvety finish — even after repeated use and cleaning. There are no rough edges, misalignments, or uneven molding anywhere. The only real breaks in the surface are the charging contact points and the power button, and even those are recessed just enough to avoid any irritation or scratching. 👍🏼

The button? No signs of wear or cracking, even after lots of sessions. The soft outer layer has held up beautifully without any dents, discoloration, or hardening. It still feels just as plush and pillowy as the day we got it.

The battery, too, deserves praise: it consistently holds a solid charge, and the vibration strength hasn't dropped off with time. Some toys gradually lose their oomph — Midori hasn’t shown that at all. It's also completely quiet when charging and gives a reassuring soft light glow so you know it's docked properly.

The price for the Iroha Midori varies depending on where you look. We’ve seen it as low as €60 (~$65 USD) during sales, while most retailers seem to list it closer to €80 (~$87 USD). It’s not a bargain-bin toy, but it’s also not pushing into ultra-premium territory — which makes the value very situational.

If you're after - A - the most powerful motors, endless vibration modes, or tech-loaded features like app control? This probably isn’t your match. B - But if what you want is a soft, soothing, and beautifully made vibe that feels totally different from anything else in your drawer, the Midori starts to make a lot more sense — especially on sale.

For us, it's a "yes, but…" kind of toy. We’d likely buy it again, but only because we’ve come to appreciate how special that softness is — especially on sensitive days. Just know what you're getting into: this is a vibe for the gentle, not the most intense.

Karl: This one clearly isn’t for me. As a couple’s toy? Meh. I’ve tried using it alongside partner play, but honestly, it just doesn’t add much. It’s too bulky to fit comfortably between us, and it’s so soft that I keep feeling like I’m going to crush it — which is not exactly a sexy distraction 😅. Solo? Also a no from me. It doesn't do anything for me, and with other, more targeted toys in the drawer, I’m happy to leave this one to Leni.

Leni: I'm a bit torn. I really like the Midori — the soft texture, the comfy weight, the way I can nearly go hands-free with it. But it’s definitely a slow burn. It takes me longer to get there, and while the orgasms are nice, they aren’t wildly different or more intense than with other toys. I wouldn’t call it a go-to, but it’s a lovely change of pace when I’m in the mood for something more drawn out and cozy. This one’s more for winding down than powering through.

Unboxing the Midori is honestly a joy — it’s like opening a little gift box from a high-end skincare brand. The outer packaging is minimalist and pastel-toned, with delicate floral accents and a prominent product photo front and center. It gives off a calm, gentle vibe that really reflects the toy inside. Nothing loud, nothing overly “sextoy” — just elegant, clean, and quietly pretty.

The sides of the box feature Japanese text (which adds to the aesthetic), while the back gives a more practical breakdown of the toy’s features in English. There’s also a regional section with info in German, Spanish and French, depending on your market — thoughtful touch!

The inner box has a super satisfying slide-lift motion that gives major "unboxing a new phone" energy — and you know we love that. 😅 Inside, the Midori rests in a rigid, matte-finished cardboard tray that feels sturdy and premium. Underneath, you’ll find the user manual, warranty card, and the magnetic charging pad and cable.

One downside? No storage pouch. For such a refined product, that’s a bit of a miss. The idea seems to be that you leave it on display on the charging pad — like a design object — but realistically, most of us aren’t doing that. We’d have really appreciated a little travel pouch for privacy and hygiene. It’s a small thing, but it would’ve made a big difference.

One of the first things you’ll notice about the Iroha Midori is how incredibly soft it feels. It’s made from a body-safe silicone that isn’t heavily marketed with buzzwords — no flashy “platinum-cured” labels here — but in use, it really doesn’t need them. The surface is cool, squishy, and has that buttery-smooth glide you dream of in premium toys. It’s super squishy and gives a generous plushness when you press into it — not just on the surface, but a good 0.5 to 1 cm (about 0.2 to 0.4 inches) deep. It’s a bit like squeezing a dense marshmallow wrapped in silk. 😂

What impressed us even more is how low-maintenance the surface is. If you’re a toy collector, you know the heartbreak of pulling a lint-covered vibe out of storage. But somehow, Midori resists dust like a pro - like almost totally. 😳 That alone scores major points from us. It’s always ready to go, no rinse required beforehand.

The power button is made of ABS plastic, but again, it’s not the cheap, glossy kind. It has a matte, textured finish and feels much sturdier and more pleasant to the touch than most toy buttons. The subtle logo engraving also helps it blend into the design without looking like an afterthought.

As for care: It’s rated waterproof up to 50 cm depth, so you can rinse it thoroughly under warm water. Add a mild soap or toy cleaner and you’re good to go. The only place you might need to be more attentive is around the magnetic charging pad. That recessed spot and the transition to the silicone can collect moisture or lint, and while we haven’t seen any buildup yet, it’s worth making sure it dries fully between uses. You can gently pull back the silicone around it to check, but avoid using harsh sprays or intense water pressure to prevent damage there over time.

In short? Easy to love, easy to clean. Just don’t forget to give that charging area a little extra love during cleanup.

"Midori" (緑) is the Japanese word for green – a name that fits the Iroha Midori’s calming, soft aesthetic and its roots in Japanese design philosophy. In Japanese culture, green often symbolizes freshness, tranquility, and renewal, which aligns beautifully with the toy’s purpose: gentle self-care and sensuality. While our version is actually the Nadeshiko pink colorway, the name still captures the product's minimalist elegance and its invitation to slow down, explore, and reconnect with your body.

If you're looking for power, patterns, and punch, the Midori probably isn't your endgame. But if you're into gentle stimulation, minimalist design, and a toy that feels unlike anything else in your drawer? This is it. Especially on sale, we’d buy it again.

We do wish it came with a pouch, and the vibration could be deeper at times. But overall, it’s one of the most charming little vibes we've tried. Curious if this could be your next slow burn favorite? Dive in, and let us know what you think!
