My verdict
This adorable almost Hershey Kiss shaped device will have you melting! Talk about a toy with an honor roll.... no need for D's, C's or long wait times by the charger, it's AAAs for days! The Ume-Anzu's small stature and inconspicuous design allows it to hide in a make-up bag, purse, or even a pocket with ease or be left out in the open without a care in the world. Iroha was oh so kind enough to include a AAA battery in the product so it can be used the moment it's opened, talk about an awesome company that cares! They even made the device waterproof, allowing that bath time vibe to be even more relaxing! It's a single setting consistent vibration with an intensity that may surprise you, and with its durable design there's no need to fear it being finnicky when you're in the middle of your groove. The estimated time of use is 5 hours on a single battery so this little buddy can go as long or as many times as you can handle! This discreet, simple to use, easy to hide, long lasting toy is definitely a great one for first time users and is a good one to just have for a quick fun time!
Pros
Inconspicuous design allows it to go unnoticed by make-up bag meddlers or privacy poaching peepers!
Runs on a rechargeable AAA battery: long lasting, easy to change, and no waiting to charge!
No actual IPX rating, but claims to be submersible! Gotta love the bath time buddies ;P
Single setting is quite strong, product feels quite durable, and it's super easy to turn on/off.
Cons
I feel there was potential to have more settings in this design, similar to the CalExotics Bullet.

Design

I really like the design of this product, it's very pleasing to just look at and is oddly very easy to fidget with lol. As far as the material goes, I've never heard of Elastomer until I read the back of the package, I have to say it's quite nice to touch and easy to rub against the skin. The battery compartment and overall circuitry inside of the device are very well done; the use of space is exquisite; it's ergonomically beautiful; and the way it opens/closes feels sturdy, thought through and well sealed. I genuinely have no real fear of submerging this device in water. I love that it's battery operated, discrete and so compact... I feel it'll definitely be one I'd have with me almost anywhere I travel. This device and Romp's Lipstick are going to make me start carrying a make-up bag lol.

Experience

For a small device that runs on a AAA battery this thing packs a decent punch. Though it only has a single vibration, its small but wide point and that consistent intensity hit the spot just right, making it a must add to the travel bag kind of item!

My first encounter with a battery operated toy was the Blush Lipstick and though these devices have a very similar intensity I feel the Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu is just superior. At this point the only thing the Blush Lipstick has going for it in my book anymore is the appearance and penetration ability. The Ume-Anzu has a way better circuitry design allowing for a more enjoyable and consistent experience, whereas the Lipstick may clonk out if bumped a smidge or may not turn on at all because it just feels like being a finnicky nuisance lol. It may not be penetration friendly but the Ume-Anzu is an excellent clitoral stimulator that is not only capable of getting the job done on its own but is great for turning up the heat in foreplay before moving up to a different toy or with a partner.

I thoroughly enjoyed the feel of the material against my skin as I played around, it was able to glide so smoothly to every spot I wanted. At one point I found I was able to go hands free while trying it out, though there are toys that are better designed for such a thing, the fact that it could be done with this one was just an added bonus to the experience! The intensity of the device is almost Goldilocks for me at this point... not too weak (like the first setting of the CalExotics Bullet) but not too intense (like the initial suction of the INYA Rose), it's about where I'd start any other vibrator with consistent vibration settings.

Packaging

Iroha has a simplistic, clean and adorably small package!

At first glance nothing about this package screams that it contains a sexual product; if anything it looks like it could be a make-up product. The overall package is a clear plastic box with a wrap around white and gold label that shares very basic information.

This is a product I would definitely feel comfortable walking up to a counter with! It's inconspicuous, simple and I could easily pretend it's something it's not. I almost get the same vibes as I did with Dyso's packaging... like I'm purchasing a fancy product from Five Below that I'm not 100% about what it does but I'm excited to find out lol. By no means are my Five Below comparisons meant to be insulting to the companies or their products, I'm just a thrifty shopper and a bit of a child lol.

What's in the Box?!

Inside the package: The product itself, a AAA battery (already in the device) and an instruction manual.

Iroha kept their contents as simple as their packaging which is awesome. I LOVE the fact that this company was kind enough to supply a battery with the product as it allows it to potentially be used right away! CalExotics and Blush were not as considerate with their Bullet and Lipstick products, requiring the customer to make sure they have a battery on hand when they initially go to try it out.

Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu vs Blush Lipstick

Material - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins, the whole thing is soft and nice to touch!

  1. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Elastomer and ABS
  2. Blush Lipstick - A satin like lipstick tip and ABS casing

Waterproof Settings - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins, the design is more convincing that it's waterproof!

  1. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - No official rating listed but can be used under water!
  2. Blush Lipstick - No official rating listed, claims it's waterproof but design doesn't look or feel like it would be.

Run Time - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins!

  1. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Up to 5 hours
  2. Blush Lipstick - Doesn't specify, but the finicky nature of the device blocks consistent long lengths of use time anyway.

Charging Time - Tie!

  1. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - No charge time! Just have at least two rechargeable batteries on hand or a whole pack of regular and enjoy!
  2. Blush Lipstick - No charge time! Just have at least two rechargeable batteries on hand or a whole pack of regular and enjoy!

Size - Tie!

  1. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide. Could be passed off as a lip gloss, blush or lotion.
  2. Blush Lipstick - Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide especially because it looks exactly like a lipstick.

Vibration Settings - Tie!

  1. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - 1 overall setting, but decently intense.
  2. Blush Lipstick - 1 overall setting, but decently intense.

Penetration Ability - Blush Lipstick wins!

  1. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Definitely more of an external stimulator. The shape is not the most penetration friendly style.
  2. Blush Lipstick - The lipstick end allows for 1 inch of penetration, but honestly the whole thing could be inserted if truly desired.

Ease of Use Regarding Vibration Settings - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins!

  1. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - 1 vibration setting. Single button operation makes this device super simple to use. It's located on the side and is very reliable.
  2. Blush Lipstick - 1 vibration setting. Opens like a normal lipstick and turns on when fully extended. Is quite finnicky and is oddly a pain to turn on sometimes.

Ease of Use General Sense - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins!

  1. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Ergonomically friendly, decently sized but small rounded tip for nice accuracy and surface coverage, not insertion friendly, easy to operate, easy battery change, and durable design.
  2. Blush Lipstick - Ergonomically friendly, small lipstick tip makes it easy to pinpoint that exact spot, insertion friendly, conceptually easy to operate but inconsistent with when the circuit is closed and operational, battery cover is a bit of a pain, and does not feel all that durable.

Overall winner by Personal Preference: Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu due to the overall sturdy design that doesn't clonk out from a small nudge.

I'm genuinely amazed I'm here! Though I can come off very flirty and sometimes talk a big game, when it comes to certain sexual aspects I am actually quite shy, slightly uncomfortable, lacking in confidence and can sometimes be downright prudish lol. My sex life always consisted of my favorite fingers or an actual man. (Shocking I know!) Toys were something I felt would disrupt intimacy or ruin my ability to orgasm without one. Let's face it, a man can't vibrate like a motor can or always keep up with the Energizer Bunny lol. It was actually a recent relationship with vastly different libidos that resulted in the strangest gift of my 1st ever toy: an egg w/ an app and settings created by other users. At first it felt like cheating... Over time, it became a boost to my independence/self-confidence and I realized I needed to learn to love myself in new ways. This is a definitely surprising step in my journey of self exploration, but one that I hope can oddly help others in theirs too!

  • An Interesting Night Out with the Blush Rose Lipstick Vibe

    It's a gamble that could be worth it more than it's not. Go into it with low expectations and give it the chance to surprise you like it did me! With finicky circuitry that made it a chore to initially keep on without bumping it out of place, this thing seemed like it was going to be destined for the trash bin. With a design that actually seems to concentrate the vibration in a beautifully easy to aim point that seems to allow me to focus on that one spot that really wants it...It's more than proved it's worth keeping! Regarding the "Duration of Use", it was not a fully tested feature, so I made a minimum best guess thinking it should more than likely last longer. Testing it for my photo/video op took longer than it took me to reach satisfaction and I believe it would have kept going just fine and dandy. My guess is however long a AAA battery usually lasts would be the duration, and if you have rechargeable ones on hand and can move fast like you're working a NASCAR pit you'll have a good time! ;P

  • Inya: The Rose Review - I've Been Kissed By A Rose ♫♪

    This is the type of flower you should ask for or receive when your partner wants to say sorry or just wants to surprise you! It's a flower that'll last you a lifetime and it's a gift that keeps on giving! Don't be fooled by its size, it packs quite the punch even on its lowest setting, and there are 6 others you can explore (mix of steady and pulsing)! If you're a bit on the sensitive side like me, the 45 minute use span might last an eternity as the intensity drove me crazy in under a minute and I was definitely done in under 5. ;P Its inconspicuous design allows you to leave it out in the open for easy access, or carry it around without issue. Simply tell people it's a rose shaped speaker or whatever you can imagine!

  • 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 ;P), this would be the one! All puns aside, I would definitely recommend this product! The variety of settings and the waterproof rating make it an awesome companion!

  • ROMP Lipstick Review: For Plumper Lips Try This!

    My makeup bag just got a little fuller and so did my lips! ;P The usual price for this device is a bit scary, especially in comparison to the Blush Lipstick, but I'd definitely recommend snatching it up when it goes on sale for around the same price as the Blush as it's sooo worth it! As someone that's still new to the world of toys it was the perfect little introduction to the world of clitoral stimulation ones. It's quiet, compact, soft to the touch and more than capable of getting the job done on its own, but it has the ability due to its small stature to be used with penetrating toys like the Blush Lipstick or others without getting in the way! I'm not much of a make-up gal, but having these two types of lipsticks in my bag guarantees I can have a good night on the town, anytime and anywhere!

    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.

    Satisfyer Love Breeze - Small but not so mighty 🫣

    Not Quite a Breeze, But Not a Storm Either 🌬️ The Love Breeze had us hopeful – sleek design, familiar suction tech, and a smaller profile that promised discretion and ease. But once in use, it became clear that looks aren’t everything. The stiff silicone, awkward fit, and less-than-ideal grip took the fun out of the fantasy. Unfortunately, the all-too-familiar Satisfyer Achilles’ heel shows up again: battery death. It’s frustrating when a toy that’s barely been used decides to take an early retirement. Still, there’s more to the story – including price, care, and whether it might still earn a spot in your toy lineup. Scroll down and find out if this breeze is worth chasing. 😉

    The Bunny G Rabbit (AZURE Collection) - Beginner Vibrations

    As a vibrator, it gets the job done. 12 different vibrations add spontaneity and appeal to a wider audience, BUT there were some settings that were just too much for me. Highly recommended for beginners who prefer stimulation over penetration. The penetrator itself wasn't quite built for my anatomy - a common problem with rabbit vibrators - and I ended up spending more time trying to figure out how to angle it instead of enjoying myself. However, the vibrating 'crab claw' was great! There were some settings that were a little too overstimulating, but that isn't something that can't be adjusted with an extra layer of fabric in between or applying less pressure. I liked that the handle was easy to hold for the stimulator, but as soon as I tried using the penetrator I found myself positioned rather awkwardly. Did not end up being able to comfortably use it in that regard.

    Oliver James Large Wand Massager: Holy Moly

    I don’t usually get aroused immediately by a toy, but the Oliver James Large Wand Massager got me going right away. The large wand is large, nearly a foot long, making it oddly so comfortable to use. At first, I thought it looked a little gimmicky. It’s long, the handle is coated in shiny plastic, and it’s just so big it’s almost cartoonish. However, the neck is flexible, the silicone on the head is divine, and the vibrations are so strong I could feel them through my pants. The longer, curved handle on this model allows you to hold with your palm facing any direction, making the device super easy on your wrist - which is usually the first point of discomfort for me. I also found it super easy to use, from the buttons to the toy's ability to massage such a large area. I also used it to massage out shin splints and tight calves from running - something I’ve never considered doing - but it totally worked. This is truly a full-body massager.

    Svakom Coco Vibrator: J’adore!

    Up top: this toy is fantastic! Every toy I see from Svakom surprises me. It’s so easy to judge their books by the cover, but their unusual design choices make complete sense as soon as you use the toys. The Coco vibrator by Svakom is no different. It’s a mix of a wand and a large bullet vibrator but is designed for G-spot stimulation, creating this unexpected hybrid toy you can’t quite put your finger on. I've never seen a vibrator like this. Usually, when toy companies get creative, they miss the mark, but this one got it so right. The head is the same size as a typical large bullet vibrator, while the neck resembles a wand. It's shaped like a bent finger, with its flexible head angling outward. The Coco works wonders internally and externally. Plus, it’s actually quiet, not like other toys that promise discretion. Its power is surprising, considering how compact it is. Its five vibration modes are satisfying and effective. It may just be a personal pet peeve, though I’d find that hard to believe: a toy loses my interest when its vibration patterns miss the mark. This toy delivers across the board.

    Pleasure On-the-Go

    The PlusOne On-The-Go Travel Vibrator surprised me in all the best ways. While it is very small, it churns out varied vibrations with just a touch of a button. The exterior is a bit of a hit and miss, the tip is somehow very soft but the rest of the device feels a little tacky or plastic-like. The glide on the skin is a little "jerky" so lube is needed. The vibrator is also waterproof, battery operated and mostly directed towards external use (although some shallow internal use is possible). While I loved its portability and performance, the motor is slightly noisy—kicking out the possibility of being discreet in use, but it lives up to its name and is definitely an on-the-go travel bullet.

    Something to Lust About: Wonderlust Harmony

    The Wonderlust Harmony is a flexible little number which has a smooth, soft-touch and a curved design that feels great against the skin. The idea of dual stimulation—internal and external— with this toy initially sounded great, but the clit hood on the external arm is a bit too gentle. It's almost unnoticeable vibrations across all 20 modes, which might be a little underwhelming if you're after intense clitoral stimulation. The internal arm on the other hand, does a great job of providing varied stimulation (my boat was pleasantly rocked). The power is nothing to write home about but the mix of buzzy and rumbly vibrations hit the spot. It's also waterproof and incredibly easy to clean, making it low-maintenance and travel-friendly. If you’re someone who enjoys steady pleasure, the Wonderlust is for you.
