Design

Lelo Sona’s design is phenomenal! It’s sleek and sexy. It’s a toy you want to use. Designed to use with generous amounts of lubricant, soft silicone compliments water-based lube well while working effectively without it. Although I totally recommend using lubricant, it heightens the experience.
The buttons have a really interesting design. They’re easy to find, which earns big points with me, but they work by holding them down and releasing them when the desired intensity is reached. It takes some time to get used to, but doesn’t feel too unnatural after a while.
The toy is also waterproof and ready for bath or shower play. However, Lelo doesn’t recommend using it in water because water negates your body’s natural lubricant. That decision is completely up to the user, though.
Experience

At first, I was skeptical. I’ve used a lot of toys with this type of stimulation, and it’s rare for one to stand out. The best part of these toys, especially the Lelo, is they allow for edge play. Meaning you can bring yourself close to an orgasm and back off repeating this over and over to intensify your climax. Air pulsing stimulation is the best way to edge that I’ve found. You can get lost in time using the Lelo.
But there is one small issue I had. Personally, I would have preferred a larger suction head. Not because of the size of my body but because these smaller targeted heads tend to hammer away at small areas, leaving me overstimulated and chasing an orgasm. Rigid silicone around the head contributes to this, as they don’t allow those vibrations to ripple through them and stimulate the edges of your clit near the toy. This happened when I used the Sona. I had to take a break and come back to it a few minutes later to finish the job. That being said, the pulsations are fantastic and have a great range of intensity.
Overall, the toy performs better than most on the market. I would prefer either a slightly broader head or a more pliable silicone wall, but these aren’t deal breakers.
Quality

Quality materials, soft silicone, incredible technology and design, and thoughtful construction make this toy worth every penny you spend. I’ve had a hard time in the past finding toys that felt like a good quality. Sometimes you use them once or twice, and they don’t charge, the sound changes, or the buttons start to feel off—not with this toy. It feels durable in your hand.
Price
At $89, this toy is definitely in a higher tax bracket. It might not be the best beginner toy at this price, but I think it’s worth investing in.
Packaging

The best part of the packaging was the snakeskin texture of the box. The whole package screams sleek and sexy.

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.

Faux Phallus Frangipani V-Plug is Such a Beautiful Pussy Plug!
I've started using the Faux Phallus Frangipani V-Plug in size extra-small while I'm throwing strap or doing housework, and my gosh does this plug feel GOOD! The texture is slightly raised with a beautiful, hand-carved, floral design that stimulates without overwhelming. Soft silicone can be sticky though, so cleaning this before and after use is really important. I love that it comes in a variety of sizes and that customers can choose their color and firmness options. Pro Tip: Wear tight fitting undies, bike shorts, or yoga pants to help keep it inserted!

Nen-Wa Balls: Magnetic Hemitite Balls Review
Love them! Helps with Kegel exercises and is easy to use. I got a couple really big orgasms. The balls are easy to put in, you can go about your daily activities with them inside you. You will definitely get aroused, especially as you feel these weighted balls working your muscles to keep your pussy tight. When you push them out it is working your muscles and your ability to squirt. If you use a magic wand while they are in, the balls will vibrate causing extreme pleasure. I masturbated with the balls in and came multiple times, then when I went to take them out I squirted to my ankles. It started out very innocent I was walking around cleaning. The weight of the balls and movement of the walking caused me to orgasm in my panties. So I got the great idea to add a toy, I grabbed my magic wand and the feeling was orgasmic! After cuming multiple times I went to push them out and squirted to my ankles, which was unexpected. I would say that these magical balls were a great buy and great addition to my toy collection! Please don't forget to follow me because I have many different toys. I would suggest these balls and am confident you will enjoy them.

Only Halfway There: Tracy's Dog Clitoral Licking G Spot Vibrator Falls Short of Double the Pleasure
Tracy's Dog Clitoral Licking G Spot Vibrator is a lovely product that fits comfortably and feels like a dream. But when it gets down to the delivery, there are a few issues with its design that can make it less enjoyable for some. This product is beautiful to look at from its purple hue to its sleek design. It's also a bit whimsical because you can see someone had a bit of fun designing the licker portion. What looks like a small, open mouth seems to grin at you when you open the package! This was one of the most engaging bits of design in the product for me; after all, who doesn't like to giggle a bit during sex? The G-spot end may seem a bit wide compared to a few other, slimmer toys, but it shouldn't be uncomfortable as long as you use your lube. In my case, I went with a bit of foreplay with a toy I know before moving on to the main event. (Some reviewers online mention only needing a few minutes with this toy, but that wasn't my experience.) All in all, things were comfortable and easy in the beginning. It's only when you get to the dual stimulation action that the product really shows its shortcomings. The G-spot vibrations are incredibly strong, giving you intense, all-through-your-body pleasure. However, it's hard to enjoy the main point of the product because the G-spot vibrations are so intense and the clitoral licker is so... not. It's difficult enough just to get the licker to sit where it should and stay there. And once you do, it can be almost impossible to feel it when the full vibrations of the G-spot stimulator are rocking through you. All in all, it's a product that can get you there (especially if you're a bit creative). But it doesn't really deliver what it's promising — dual stimulation — which can feel like a letdown.

The satisfyer pro 2. A new rival for my magic wand
Sometimes toys having a widespread phase of popularity is well deserved. I’m pleasantly surprised by this product as it was not at all something I normally go for. I’ve explored fairly minimally with toys or sexual aids in general but I thought I had found my niche right off the bat. This once definitely makes me think I have a long way still to go since it has become a regular in my rotation. I’ve always prided myself on being adventurous and open mixed especially when it comes to my sex life, and that practice has served me well. Trying out a new style of toy is something I’ve recently committed to doing more regularly. Vibrators are my scene. I’ve been using them and make shifting home made ones since my adolescence. They’re popular and timeless because of their efficiency but I’d never thought of a new sub genre so to speak since the viral craze of the rose toy. Every social media influcer, celebrity (and every other vagina owner I’m sure) at least had exposure to is not curiosity. A tik tok ad was the first time I had seen it and even known that suction toys were both already a thing, and had a reputation of being very intense. I was confused as to the suction aspect of the product and was curious enough to want to try it for myself. In comes the satisfyer pro 2. The other reviews on it seemed to favor that same idea. Intense sensory, small and easy enough to maintain and use, and mind blowing orgasms. What more could a girl ask for? Overall this product was a nice intro into different styles of clitoral toys for me.

Satisfyser Pro 2 Satisfies
The Satisfyser Pro 2 is nearly the perfect toy. Its suctioning vibrations range from very gentle to bedshakingly powerful. Every other toy manufacturer should take notes on the layout of the Satisfyser button. One button for on/off, another with an up and down arrow to move freely between intensities. There’s no cycling between weird patterns or having to reach full power just to cycle back down to a lower intensity. It has genuinely always baffled me that toy designers can’t figure this one out, but finally, Satisfyser has. Personally, I’m not a fan of vibration patterns unless they’re really show-stopping. Satsfyser has one vibration mode utilizing air pulsing pressure waves with 11 intensity options. The only note I have is the shape. The head of the vibrator pokes out too far from the handle. It isn’t too bothersome while lying on your back. But to avoid being too annoyed when flipped over, I recommend positioning a pillow under your lower stomach to elevate your hips and get them higher than the vibrator. Otherwise, the toy will be rough on your wrists and hips.

Fun Factory Fun Cup Explore Kit - Silicone Menstrual Cups
These are amazing menstrual cups that are so comfortable to keep inside. I'm used to keeping menstrual cups inside of me for 7-8 hours max, but these fun cups are so much better. It's easier to use these toys when you're comfortable rather than when you're bleeding.

Funzze 3-in-1 Toy Review: Crazy Idea, Almost There
This toy from Funzze is incredibly... fun. It's literally a 3-in-1 contraption, which is crazy to even think about. I will say that the caveat in that is the 3-in-1 "functions" work so far apart from one another. So instead of feeling three things at once, you're given the choice to feel 3 different things from 1 toy. Still, I loved the oscillations and the thrusting. The suction part of the toy could use some improvements in a future design. But did I have fun with this thing? Totally!

Satisfyer One Night Stand: Why I Can’t Recommend This Single-Use Toy
As someone who genuinely loves Satisfyer products and their air pulse technology, it pains me to say that I can’t recommend the One Night Stand. While it’s designed as a budget-friendly entry point ($13 USD) to entice new users, its one-time-use approach is incredibly wasteful and irresponsible. One Night Stand is made of plastic and silicone, with batteries permanently sealed inside, and the disposal instructions are vague and hidden deep in the user guide. I’d much rather see Satisfyer offer a lower-cost reusable model that prioritizes accessibility and environmental responsibility.
