Kiss and Tell with the Iroha Lipstick Vibe (Review)

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.
