My verdict

Okay, this toy is something else, in the best way because it's glass and it vibrates. Yes, you read that right, I was genuinely surprised (and a little fascinated) when I first got my hands on it. The sensations it delivers are definitely different from your average silicone vibe. For one, the vibrations lean toward the buzzy side, and the entire 6.5-inch shaft has these shallow indentations that look cool but don’t really add much in terms of texture during use. Once you lube it up, and you absolutely should, it becomes super slick. Like, really slick. (Maybe don’t use this one for butt stuff. It’s a little too easy for it to slip, and no one wants an awkward ER visit on their sex résumé.) That said, the glass material makes it perfect for temperature play. You can run it under warm or cool water before use for a little extra sensory fun, just steer clear of anything too hot, because ouch.

Design

Playboy Pleasure In A Twist Glass Vibrator featuring its sleek design and textured feel.

Let’s start with how it looks: the In a Twist by Playboy Pleasure is, hands down, one of the classiest toys I’ve ever laid eyes on. It’s got a sleek glass shaft with elegant indented swirls that run the full length, think art museum meets bedroom drawer. The insertable length clocks in at 6.5 inches with a diameter of just under an inch (0.94", to be exact). It’s slender, smooth, but not what you’d call wide. So, if you’re someone who craves that full, stretched-out sensation, this might not be your match. But if you’re into something refined and just a little adventurous? Keep reading.

Experience

Playboy Pleasure In A Twist Glass Vibrator featured next to the box for reference.

Once you’ve added a generous amount of lube, a glass vibrator becomes a bit of a wild card in the best and worst ways. It’s incredibly smooth and slippery, which means it can slide just about anywhere (fair warning: just about anywhere doesn’t mean everywhere, maintaining control can be a bit tricky!). That said, one major perk of glass toys is their ability to play with temperature. Want to turn things up or cool them way down? Run it under warm water or chill it in a bowl of ice for sensations you simply won’t get from silicone or plastic options.

One thing to keep in mind is this glass vibrator seems to be a little louder than their silicone siblings. It’s hard to say if it’s just the material, or how the motor interacts with it, but glass doesn’t exactly absorb sound—it kind of sings with it. Not a deal-breaker, but maybe not the toy you reach for when you're trying to be super discreet.

Quality

Playboy Pleasure In A Twist Glass Vibrator held in hand for size reference.

Playboy really got it right with this toy. I don’t know what kind of magic they worked behind the scenes, but wow it’s a stunner. Think: sleek, design-forward, and just plain pretty. Like something you’d proudly leave out on your nightstand, if you’re into that kind of thing. The finish is silky smooth, the build feels sturdy and high-end, and the magnetic charger snaps on with zero hassle (major win). There’s one button at the base is a small feature that makes a big difference. It’s easy to find, super responsive, and oddly satisfying to press. When I first unboxed it, I had a full-on “ooh” moment. From the packaging to the feel in my hand, it gave luxe, intentional, and seriously well-made vibes.

Price

At $47.99 on SheVibe (before shipping and tax), In a Twist is a pretty sweet deal considering everything you’re getting. The sleek design, high-quality build, and bonus potential for temperature play totally back up the price tag. Plus, the five-year warranty, that’s a huge win, especially for a product you can’t exactly return once it’s been, well, you know... used. My only gripe is it would’ve been nice if it came with a little storage bag or case. Just a small touch that would’ve made it feel a bit more complete.

Performance

Playboy Pleasure In A Twist Glass Vibrator with a box description of the Playboy brand.

This Playboy toy is slick! Like, no-friction, glides-in-like-butter slick. That might not be everyone’s vibe (pun intended), but I personally loved how different it felt compared to my usual toys. While it’s technically designed for penetration, it actually also shines as a supersized clitoral bullet. The vibrations aren’t super rumbly, which some folks might prefer, but paired with a wand its a total game-changer. Think: layered sensation, edge-of-the-bed kind of good.

Packaging

Open box of Playboy Pleasure In A Twist Glass Vibrator.

The outside of the box is genuinely eye-catching with a pearlescent, shimmery finish that catches the light in a really pretty way. There’s a magnetic clasp too, which gives it a luxe feel, and all the key info you’d want if you were browsing in a store. So, first impressions is pretty solid. Once you open it up, though, the vibe shifts a little. Inside, the toy is held in place by a basic clear plastic insert, with the charger and manual tucked underneath. Not bad, just not quite as impressive as the outside. Still, overall it is a pretty good unboxing experience.

Materials and care

The Playboy Pleasure In A Twist is a waterproof toy made of borosilicate glass which sounds intense, but just means it doesn’t heat up or cool down as quickly as regular glass. (Totally safe, by the way. I had questions too.) It’s also phthalate- and latex-free, so if you’ve got sensitive skin or allergies, you’re in the clear. The only part that isn’t glass is the button at the base, which is silicone with a little plastic ring. Otherwise? All good. As for cleaning: it genuinely couldn’t be easier. Just wash with soap and water, pat it dry, and pop it back in the box. That’s it.

  • We-Vibe Chorus: 'O' So Intimate!

    The We-Vibe Chorus—and its pressure-sensitive remote (yes, you read that right! Just give it a squeeze to amp up the vibrations)—gets a gold star from me for delivering hands-free, blended orgasms during sex with my partner. Personally, I don’t orgasm easily from internal stimulation alone, let alone from intercourse, but the Chorus makes the whole experience way more enjoyable (wink if you know what I mean). After plenty of testing, we’ve found that this vibe shines best with a grinding motion rather than thrusting, making it a top-tier lovemaking toy in my book. Flying solo? No problem! Tuck it into snug underwear for a hands-free thrill, or pair it with a dildo for an added layer of sensation. Bonus tip: The remote-controlled feature makes it perfect for some sneaky play—whether you’re at home or feeling adventurous out and about. The charging/carry case that it comes with is also a splendid idea as it is discreet and keeps all dust off the toy and remote. Edit: we tried to use it late last night and it was confusing. Maybe keep it for a sober encounter.

  • Iroha Rin+: Wonderfully Squishy!

    Overall, this toy brings something new to the table—and I’m into it. The tip is exactly as advertised: marshmallow soft. It’s got this pillowy give to it that’s honestly unlike any other toy I’ve used. I’m used to firmer textures that push back a bit, so the squish factor here was a fun surprise. And to be clear, different doesn't mean bad. It means interesting. It means they're onto something. One thing to flag, though: While the brand markets this as a G-spot vibe, I found it worked better as a mini wand. That’s not to say you can’t use it for internal stimulation—I just preferred it externally. The rumbly vibrations do a solid job on their own, but if you’re craving a bit more, you could absolutely pair it with a clitoral vibe (a bullet would do nicely) for that blended orgasm magic.

  • Satisfyer Triball 2: All of the External Stimulation!

    The Satisfyer Triball 2 is definitely an intriguing little gadget—and when it comes to stimulation, it doesn’t hold back. Each of the three balls has its own motor, so you’re getting a whole lot of vibration happening at once (yes, it’s as intense as it sounds). That said, the toy is super bendy—maybe a little too bendy. I found myself wishing for a bit more firmness, especially when I was trying to apply pressure exactly where I wanted it. The flexibility can make it tricky to really press into those pleasure zones using just the handle. Still, I genuinely enjoy using it. The vibrations are nicely rumbly (not too buzzy!), and the shape? Pretty genius. The balls are designed to stimulate the clit, vaginal opening, and anus simultaneously—and in my case, they hit the mark perfectly. Of course, everyone’s anatomy is different, so your mileage may vary, but if it lines up for you, it’s a lot of sensation in a compact package.

  • Gender X Powerhouse Vibrator: The Perfect Balance

    The Gender X Powerhouse lives up to the hype.

What it delivers is consistent, powerful pleasure in a package that feels far more luxe than you'd expect. Whether you're toy-curious or looking to add a new go-to to your collection, this one is absolutely worth your attention.

    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.

    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.

    We-Vibe Nova 2: Your Clit will Love This!

    The Nova 2 by We-Vibe has officially earned a spot in my nightstand drawer - and trust me, that’s high praise. This rabbit-style vibrator is a dream for both first-timers and seasoned pros alike. It’s designed with flexibility in mind, so it moves with your body instead of against it. And here’s the part that really sold me: the clitoral stimulator actually stays in place the whole time. No fumbling, no repositioning - just consistent, toe-curling contact. The vibes themselves are powerful but discreet, meaning you get all the buzz without the buzzkill of loud noise. Plus, both the internal and external arms are super adaptable, so odds are it’ll suit your body just right.

    We-Vibe Jive Review: Just… Meh

    The We-Vibe Jibe isn’t a bad toy by any means, but it works best as an accompaniment rather than the main course. At an RRP of $130, it’s also quite a pricey option, even if it does offer rumblier vibes than the competition. If you don’t know how you feel about internal vibrations, that’s a lot to spend on a punt to find out.

    DOXY Die Cast R Review: To die for!

    Oh. My. God. 😮‍💨 This thing is powerful. You're working with a big wand, so you're going to get big power. Not to say that this toy is perfect, but it's definitely one of my favorites. If you get this toy, you're definitely going to have a fun time. The toy excels at just hammering away at you. It's a great bit of fun that I don't get tired of. I would say that its only weaknesses are in its design, but the pros far outweigh the cons. This is definitely one of the best wands (and sex toys) that I currently own.

    Orgasm Accomplished: Pillow Talk Sassy

    Pillow Talk Sassy feels like a personalized GPS for your G-spot. Until recently, I hadn't been introduced to flexible G-spot vibrators until recently, and I don’t think I can ever go back again. Sassy is generously sized, with an angled body. Not a curved body, angled. And it just gets the job done. This toy has convinced me that curved toys are for chumps. What we need is a targeted G-spot vibrator that knows exactly where it’s going and how it’s going to get there. The bottom of the toy has a single button, a small jewel—a Swarovski crystal—located in the center of the handle. It’s very easy to locate and use while playing. However, the controls are a little annoying. You can increase speed while in use, but to decrease it, you must turn the toy off and restart it at the lowest setting—a silly technical oversight by designers. Overall, mission accomplished.

    My Review of the Satisfyer Pro 2 Modern Blossom: Pretty, Romantic, Satisfying

    I have to say, the Satisfyer Pro 2 Modern Blossom surprised me in the best way possible. It's pricier than my beginner purchases, but the quality difference is very noticeable. I’ve never tried suction toys before and I’ve heard negative sentiments about it but I’m glad I did not let that stop me from giving it a try. It just creates a completely different sensation compared to traditional vibrators, which has allowed me to explore new positions and techniques I hadn't considered before. What really stands out is the intensity of the experience—the orgasms, I notice, are much stronger and longer-lasting. I'm talking about the kind where you feel pleasant aftershocks for several minutes afterward. There's something quite remarkable about that lingering sensation that my old toys never quite achieved. And let's talk about the design—it's genuinely beautiful. The rose aesthetic is visually appealing and adds a certain poetic quality to the experience. The durability also sets this device apart from my previous ones. My earlier wand vibrators seemed to work well initially but later, they deteriorated in both power and functionality. The Satisfyer Pro 2 Modern Blossom, however, maintains consistent performance session after session. It's intuitive to use despite some minor interface issues I'll mention later, and the variety of intensity settings lets you discover what works best for you. The compact size also makes it less intimidating than some larger, more complex options on the market. For anyone looking for a reliable, well-made suction toy that won't break the bank, this is definitely worth considering.

    SheVibe Rocks-Off Chaiamo Vibrator Review

    Don't let this luxury looking vibrator fool you for one second, it may look classy and sleek, but it likes to get down and dirty in more ways than one! The Rocks-Off Chaiamo is a lipstick shaped vibrator designed to bring pinpoint accurate vibes to those special places. For some it may be too intense, even on the lowest settings, for others it may be bang on! It comes with 10 settings, 3 intensities and 7 patterns, equipped with a magnetic charger to juice up. Though it's super soft to touch and it glides so easily during use, it's also a BIG dust collector so definitely make sure to wipe it down before each use. There's no official IPX rating provided anywhere, just a claim that it's 100% waterproof, so proceed to enjoy bath time but I'd advise to do so with caution, same with clean up. There's no storage pouch provided with this toy, so you're on your own as far as how you want to store it in order to ensure it doesn't mingle with any of those rascally dust bunnies. Personally, it's a toy that was quite enjoyable for penetration, but too intense for external simulation. Though I enjoyed it, I think I'd reach for other toys before I reached for it again. Since it packs a huge punch I wouldn't totally discard it, it's definitely great for internal use, and a mini clitoral vibrator would pair perfectly with it for an all encompassing experience!

    Dame Arc: The Craziest Experience with G-Spot Stimulation

    This was my first time with a G-spot stimulator like this. It has great maneuverability and intensity. If you want something to quickly get you to that big "O", then you're going to get it with this toy. I'm trying to think of who I wouldn't recommend this toy to, and I can't! I guess if you don't like G-spot stimulation, then look elsewhere. Otherwise, you need to buy this toy, like yesterday.
