My verdict
The Iroha Stick has a shocking amount of power and is cleverly designed. But it’s too gimmicky for my taste. Overall, it’s a simple mini bullet vibrator designed to look like lipstick. I don’t think it’s fooling anyone, although if someone found it in my bag, it might take them a moment to realize. The head of the stick is angled like lipstick but has a small fork like a snake's tongue at its end. The angle and fork really elevate the toy as a whole. The Stick packs a punch, it can ramp up quite a bit. I’d say the equivalent of a three or a four on a regular-sized toy. It is battery powered and claims to be waterproof–I’ll get into that later in the review. For what it is, a lipstick vibrator, it’s great. We all have our own kitsch thing that will always get our attention. Lipstick vibrators aren’t mine, so I wouldn’t go out of my way to get this one again. However, it would be a fun gift for a bachelorette party or something similar!
Pros
Forked tongue adds a layer of stimulation
Angled head lays flat on the body while in use
Great power
Cons
Kitschy
Waterproofing is questionable
Very simple vibration and stimulation

Design

The Iroha Stick is a straightforward lipstick vibrator. The handle is matte black with “iroha” printed along the side, like a lipstick brand would be. It comes with a clear cap to go over the fleshy, pink silicone head that’s shaped like lipstick. The cap is actually really nice to store the toy, and definitely makes it travel friendly. The bottom of the handle has two spinning layers. The lowest turns the toy on and adjusts the speed as it is rotated. The next layer unscrews the bottom to reveal the batteries. The design serves two functions, the first being to look like lipstick. The second is a byproduct of the first because of the angled head and forked lip. The head lays flat on your body while using it, and the lip points sort of tickle as they vibrate. The angled head makes it easier to use as well, helping your wrist to sit comfortably while holding it.

Experience

I was pleasantly surprised by this toy. A flat angled head and forked tongue make it easy to pinpoint pleasure. They lay flat against your clit, and the edges are there to turn to for a different sensation. The dial is lovely; instead of cycling through intensities with a button, you turn it to find the right speed. It’s a little awkward to get used to at first since you need both hands to do it. It does vibrate your hand quite a bit, but it’s not all that different from most bullet vibrators. It’s surprisingly quiet, leaning into it being a discreet toy in disguise. Honestly, the angle made it easy to use while sitting, so when I was testing it out, I had it next to me on the couch. I could see this being a good travel companion, easy to use without anyone overhearing something and easy to hide. The only downside to the experience was the rigidity of the head and lack of a round surface. Overall, it is a really fun, solid toy.

Quality

The quality feels equivalent to a vibrator you’d buy off a hanger near the checkout. It feels durable. The silicone is smooth and nicely crafted. It functions well and reliably. My biggest concern with quality comes from reading the manual. The toy is described as waterproof, yet under “how to clean,” they say not to submerge the toy. Later, there's a section titled “regarding water-resistance,” which is a paragraph on ways to cause the toy water damage. Ultimately, I wouldn’t trust the waterproof rating of this toy. Even just looking at it, I would never assume it’s waterproof because of all the seams and joints between the material.

Price

Iroha sells its Lilac and Black stick vibrator for $16, a total steal. Considering the toy's highs and lows, I don’t think you could find a better stick vibrator for this price.

Performance

With small vibrators, power is the biggest concern when it comes to performance, and the Iroha Stick delivers. For its size, the power is impressive and very satisfying.

Packaging

The toy comes in basic plastic packaging, probably so customers can see how clever the lipstick design is. It comes with a simple owner’s manual and a tester battery. Iroha recommends you don’t continue using the included battery and instead only insert it to test that the toy works. I used it for my full test of the product, and it held up fine. It would certainly be nice if they included a proper battery to use.

Materials and care

When washing the toy use tepid water and mild soap, do not submerge the toy. Be sure that the battery port is fully sealed before cleaning. Also, look for anything building up in the groove near the forked tongue.

  • 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.

  • Confusing Magic: the Ava VIVV Massage Wand

    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.

  • 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.

    There’s a Lot of Fun Packed Into This Little Lala-Pop

    If you're looking for a discreet toy you can take almost anywhere, Rock Candy's Fun Size Lala-Pop may be the right choice. It comes with a decent amount of power packed in a small package. It's cute. Plus, it fits in your purse without taking up too much space. The adorable design makes it a toy you'll love messing around with alone or with a friend. Unfortunately, it's battery-powered, so you're at the mercy of those three little LR44s regarding fun time. Might I suggest keeping some extras on hand, just in case? If you love external stimulation as much as I do, you should add the Lala-Pop to your shopping list ASAP!

    The Era Swan Wand: My New Buddy

    The Era Swan Wand is my new go-to travel companion. I always take a vibrator with me on trips. I look for something compact with a travel lock that will keep me entertained on work trips or vacations. The Swan Era will do just that. This wand is small but mighty, providing shockingly intense vibrations. It’s comfortable to use and has a flexible next and smooth head that stimulates with ease. The toy has only one button to turn it on or off and change the mode. The motor glides upward in intensity as you hold the button down, though to decrease vibration strength, the device needs to be turned off and then back on. The Era Swan Wand comes with a soft, white storage bag that holds its charger and user manual. Ultimately, because of the power behind this motor, I think this is a great second toy—unless you’re specifically in the market for a powerhouse.

    Small But Mighty Bullet - Maia Jessi Review

    It took me five minutes, with instructions in hand, to discover how to ignite the device. Hold for three seconds to turn on, click gently to switch between settings. The lights are subtle, so that’s nice. The power was way more than any of my off-brand Hitachi wands or previous bullet vibrators. It has no bells and whistles. No remote. Not even a handle to relieve some of the intense power from reaching my hands. My skin felt the vibrations without actually touching the device, so playing with the settings and the physical placement allowed a diverse range of sensations. I feel like this toy has three ideal settings: in a sleeve or other holder (and its intense power would allow this and not have its effectiveness dampened), as a toy to tease or torture a partner, or for discretion, something to sneak to work or toss in a suitcase. I lament that these types of vibrating toys never have a way to track what setting you are on, and as far as I can tell, this toy does not. You are left to count and listen to the various noise patterns to determine which settings you are and find your favorites. For solo insertion, this toy seems too small to hold and the completely smooth shape means if you want to dip inside you better have practice with jade eggs and other Kegel-style “exercisers.” The force of the device seems to muddy where the toy impacts sensation more, on the hand or on the target. There is a technique, if you balance the vibrator like a top or a driedel, using only minimal pressure from one finger, that you can enjoy the toy solo without the heavy aftershocks in the hands. The size of this little guy leads me to explore if I can find new uses for it… So while it may not be practical and for immediate needs, it certainly inspires my creativity. With some stores offering this toy at $18 (Walmart), this toy provides more power and enjoyment than expected, I will probably save it for play at an unexpected unexpected place and time, not in the bedroom.

    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.

    Swan Rechargeable Bullet Pink – The Little Powerhouse That Stole Our Hearts ❤️

    The Swan Rechargeable Bullet Pink – The Little Toy That Puts Bigger Toys to Shame We’ve tried so many vibrators. Some were good, some were okay, and some… well, let’s just say they ended up in the “never again” pile. But every once in a while, a toy comes along that changes the game and this is one of them. At first glance, the Swan Rechargeable Bullet looks like just another bullet vibe. Cute, compact, travel-friendly. Nothing you haven’t seen before, right? Wrong. The first time we turned it on, we knew it was different. The power. The depth. The ridiculous “how is this thing so strong?” vibrations. And the best part? It never disappoints. Some toys start out strong but weaken over time - this one hasn’t lost a bit of intensity. Some look luxurious but feel cheap - this one is sleek, solid, and gorgeous. Some have a hundred unnecessary settings - this one just gives you pure, uninterrupted, adjustable power. And the battery? It just refuses to die. Even on high settings, it lasts longer than most people can. 😏 We use it constantly. It’s the first thing we reach for solo or together. It’s never in the way, always reliable, and somehow still as exciting as the first time we tried it. If we lost it tomorrow, we’d reorder it instantly. If you’ve been searching for the one bullet vibrator that actually lives up to the hype - this could be it. And if you don’t believe us yet, keep reading - we’ve got all the juicy details. 😉

    Bgood Classic Vibrator: Gotta Love a Classic

    Whoa. That baby purrs. I don’t know what screw is loose or if it’s a genius classic design, but the vibrations from Bgood Classic purr. That’s the only word for it. It feels almost like there's space between the motor and the walls of the toy, letting the vibrations reverberate through. It makes the vibrations feel deep and sensual. Not to mention, this toy has horsepower. Bgood was not playing around when they made this toy. My only critique would be that I wish it was easier to turn off and that the materials were slightly higher quality. It’s a little on the loud side, which I don’t mind–I live alone, so it’s fine. But it’s strong and loud, and when you’re done, it’s not fun to fumble around. If the materials were higher quality, it might feel more luxurious and have a longer battery life. It has five vibration settings, though the lowest intensity is still pretty strong. Overall, it’s a lot of fun.
