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

    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

    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

    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.

    Hyped on TikTok, But Is It Worth It? SVibe Snail Gizi Review

    I've had SVibe's Snail Gizi in my collection for over a year and was surprised to see it, and Snail Curve, trending on TikTok. It's a unique design that "unrolls" to stimulate both the g-spot and clitoris of any vulva haver, even when other dual stimulators/rabbit style vibes don't. I personally prefer Gizi over Curve because of the bulbous insertable end, whereas the Curve doesn't quite have the same insertable shape. Gizi has a less powerful version, the Gizi Lite which may be a better fit for those who don't want/need as much power, but the Lite is also lacking some of the features as Gizi. I think Gizi is a good option for those who like mid-to-high range power, dual stimulation, non-phallic designs, and want a hands-free option.

    We-Vibe Touch X: Small, Sleek, and Powerful—But Is It the Whole Package?

    Tiny but mighty, the We-Vibe Touch X delivers powerful vibrations and versatility —but does it bring enough spark to stand alone? The We-Vibe Touch X promises powerful, quiet vibrations and a compact, versatile design—in this case promises aren't broken. While it lives up to its reputation, it didn’t quite deliver the pleasurable experience I expected. Although it didn’t always bring me to the finish line on its own, it shines as a partner-in-crime during intimate moments, whether that’s with someone else or as a warm-up before adding in other toys. With its sleek design, deep rumbly vibrations, and travel-friendly features, the Touch X is a strong contender for anyone wanting a little extra intensity, though it’s definitely an investment.

    Lovense Lush 2 Review: Buzzed, Bound, and Blushing

    Hey there! I’m Aphrodite. I’ve had my Lovense Lush 2 for years now, and guess what? I’m still completely obsessed. You might be thinking, “Why review an older toy when newer versions are out?” Well, sweetheart, let me tell you: the Lush 2 is still a total powerhouse. It runs on the same amazing app as the newer models (which is a game changer), and if you’re lucky, you can snag it at a sweet discount when Lovense puts their classics on sale. Just don’t buy it second hand! 😂 Beyond the tech, the toy itself is a dream. The texture is silky smooth and feels amazing against the skin. The vibrations can go from soft and teasing to deep and powerful, depending on what you're in the mood for. It's the perfect size too, it is discreet and comfortable to wear, with a curve that hits the G-spot in all the right ways. So if you’re craving strong, customizable vibrations without spending a fortune, this little gem might just be your new favorite playmate. Trust me, just because it’s not the newest doesn’t mean it won’t make you squirm. 💦

    CamToyz TiFany Review: Is Tifany One "F" Too Shy of Making The Cut?!

    Tifany with one "F" only has one f*ck to give and it's to you! Though she may not be as flexible as Cleo, she certainly has more girth and realism to her style. What she lacks in charge/use times she also makes up for with her affordable price and IPX6 rating. The ring on her handle is her worst quality as it rattles while she rocks your world. Once again, the patterns are just a waste for me, but the girth, single vibes and IPX6 rating more than make up for it. Unlike the competition between the Pure Envy girls where Tiffany with two "F's" crushed Stephanie, the battle between the CamToy girls came down to a tie for me and I'd go back either of them again!

  • Satisfyer Wand-er Woman – The Wand That Gave Us Trust Issues 😅

    Satisfyer Wand-er Woman – The Wand That Gave Us Trust Issues 😅

    Big Toy, Big Promises, Big Letdowns? When we first got our hands on the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman, we were curious. A powerful, extra-large wand massager that promises deep, rumbly vibrations, full-body relaxation, and earth-shattering orgasms? Sounds like a dream. Plus, it’s waterproof, has 50 vibration combinations, and comes with a 10-year warranty - what could go wrong? Well… quite a bit. At first glance, it looks sleek, luxurious, and ready to bring some serious intensity. But after multiple rounds of testing (and even a few replacements), we quickly realized that this wand comes with some serious drawbacks. Whether it's the awkward size, unreliable motor, or frustrating battery life, this toy had us feeling more annoyed than satisfied. But hey, let’s dive into the details. 😉

  • Pillow Talk Racy Special Edition Silicone G-Spot Vibrator: You Got My Heart Racing

    Pillow Talk Racy Special Edition Silicone G-Spot Vibrator: You Got My Heart Racing

    Are you a fan of 50 Shade of Grey, but feel it's a bit too risqué for where you're at with your sexual comfort? Meet the 50 Shades of Lilac bundle. This little bundle provides a beginner style transition into a sensual world of mystery, erotic pleasure, and a potentially deeper connection between partners. The Pillow Talk Racy is an adorable, luxury style G-spot toy with a "come hither" shape that will bring you closer and closer to orgasm. The Special Edition Racy features a cleaning brush, satin pouch, a satin blindfold, and a pack of 9 titillating foreplay cards that may help you and your partner learn each sensual spot that makes you squirm, have your toes curling, and begging for more. The device takes 2.5 hrs to charge, can be used for 1hr, and uses a 3.5 mm jack style charger. It's a single button operation with one setting that incrementally increases in power as the button is held down. If the button is quickly pressed three times a travel lock setting is deactivated. Sadly, it's only splash proof, which means no steamy shower scenes can be acted out. The overall length is 5.7", the insertable length is 3.75" and the girth is 0.87" making it an excellent beginner toy and another pinpoint G-Spot and clitoral option for more experienced users. Personally, I adore this package! The color, the overall luxurious aesthetic, and the easy introduction into a controlled but mysterious form of bedroom play are all fantastic. I LOVE that they included a pouch as it helps keep everything together, and the cleaning brush is a thoughtful touch as it helps clean the grooves. The single button use is as nice as it is annoying because it can be quite easy to go past the desired intensity, and it's a start from scratch situation to go back to a previous setting. I'm also saddened by the splash proof rating but it's not a total deal breaker. This is a toy I'd reach for again, and I'd most definitely use the blindfold and cards with other toys. ;P

    Rave Ripple: No Wow Factor

    The Rave Ripple is really cute, silly, and moderately effective, but it didn’t wow me. The intense texture of the outside of the toy is heavenly. Though it’s a little short and straight for my taste, despite the shaft being flexible. It only has one button, making it delightfully easy to use. And the 10 speeds are great, it’s really nice having more speed options than the traditional 5. It’s super brightly colored. The shaft is neon green, and the handle is neon pink. It fits the “rave” aesthetic, especially with the melting drip-like texture on the outside. It’s fully waterproof, so making sure the space between the ribs is free of debris and bacteria after use is easy. Plus you can have fun with it in the shower or bath. This is one of those toys I think you’d buy more for the aesthetic and kitsch than the efficacy. It would be nice to find a toy that hits both of these criteria successfully, but when it comes to a kitschy, themed toy, it’s just hard to do.

    Natalie's Toy Box - The Little Red Bullet Vibrator: Powerful Vibe, Weird Little Design

    The Little Red Bullet Vibrator from Natalie's Toy Box is a cute, discreet vibrator that can sit on your bookcase without anyone thinking it's a sex toy. Despite its discreet design, from the back, The Little Red Bullet does look quite phallic. This is a very buzzy vibrator, and it's not as quiet as I had hoped a discreet sex toy would be. It has 16 functions and is waterproof, rechargeable, and body safe. There are some nooks & crannies on the face side of the vibrator that can make it more difficult to clean, but an extra soft toothbrush will help get all the hard to reach spots.
