My verdict

Not entirely sure how this one got its name or how to make a pun of it. I think I'm going have to write my first non pun filled review right now... *shudder* It's very weird to say since I'm still somewhat of a newcomer myself, but I think this would be a good first time personal massager for someone that doesn't want to commit to getting a dildo just yet but wants a nice somewhat inconspicuous toy. It definitely feels nice as a regular massager, and is quite intense as a clitoral stimulator and with 20 patterns, 8 intensities, a 90-120 min use time and a memory retention feature you can't really go wrong.

Pros: Will remember the last settings you had it on so you can keep going next time you pick it up!; IPX7 Babeh! Enjoy a lovely bath time or sexy shower massage! No worries when it comes to cleaning!; Features 20 patterns and 8 intensities for a more catered massage or pleasurable experience!; Feels good as a general massager, but is a bit awkward to hold and use as one in some places.

Cons: Penetration friendly, but a bit too big for my personal preference. Bigger isn't always better.; Easy to bump power button, careful not to accidentally turn it off while in the middle of enjoying!!

Experience

As a general massager, I have to say the Shibari Mini Halo feels quite nice, but if I had to chose a toy that doubled as a personal massager and pleasure stimulator it would be the Ava Evo. If I had to go with just a clitoral stimulator, I would go with something smaller and more personal.

I like the wide variety of settings and the overall ease of use. I love that it remembers the settings I had it on the last time it was in use, as I've found that it's another toy with an easy to bump power button. I don't know about you but I don't want to sit and cycle through all of my settings again when I was just getting to the good part but accidentally bumped it off. The lowest intensity is still a pretty damn good one in regards to clitoral stimulation as it's almost too intense to start out with in my case.

Though I understand it's somewhat of a power saving move to do it, I find that I'm weirdly not a fan of the LEDs blinking in time with the patterns, I find it unnecessary.

Packaging

Shibari packaging is simple and sweet with a modern monochrome chic style and Mandala artwork. Two chrome sides depict the name in large text; the front in white shows a picture of the toy with the name above it and a Mandala pattern circling behind it; and the white back panel shares 7 points of useful information about the product.

This package feels like a step between Romp Lipstick and Satisfyer Mission Control. Romp is able to blend in with other products quite easily at first glance which creates an easier atmosphere around the concept of walking up to a counter to purchase it. Satisfyer has a bit of more of an erotic nature to its packaging, though subtle, for me personally I would still be hesitant to walk up to a counter with it. Shibari has no erotic nature about its packaging like the Satisfyer, but the product itself at first glance isn't as subtle as Romp... I do feel I could almost get away with claiming it's just an ordinary massager if caught with even though it's a sensual one.

What's in the Box?!

Inside the package: The product itself, a discreet black carrying bag, a charging cable, an instruction manual, a warranty pamphlet, and a warranty card.

I like the carrying bag that came with this product far more than the one that came with the Ava Fliq and Ava Lolli. This one may not be as nice as the satin one that comes with Swan Wand but it's still pretty good quality!

I love the added touch of a smiley face at the end of the Warranty Card's description. It makes the company feel friendly and easy to approach.

The Vibrations!!

00:57

The Shibari Mini Halo boasts 20 pulsations, 8 speeds and an hour and half run time.

As someone that usually sticks to consistent vibration settings, it's nice to have the option for 8 intensity levels on one pattern that is a consistent vibration. I love having the other 19 settings as a potential option to expand to if I ever feel exploratory or get bored of the same old thing.

The lowest settings are still pretty powerful and more than capable of getting the job done which is awesome! Not only would it last longer running on the lowest settings, but it means there's even more mind blowing power behind the other 7 levels.

Shibari Mini Halo vs. Swan Era Wand

Material - Tie!

Shibari Mini Halo - Ultra Soft Premium Grade Silicone
Swan Era Sceptre - 100% Premium Silicone

Waterproof Settings - Tie!

Shibari Mini Halo - IPX7
Swan Era Wand - IPX7

Run Time - Swan Era Wand Wins!

Swan Era Wand - Up to 150 Mins

Charging Time and Indicator - Shibari Mini Halo Wins!

Shibari Mini Halo - 90 min charge time, indicated with 3 lights on the front, charge completed when all lights are off.
Swan Era Wand - 120 min charge time, indicated with 4 blue lights on the front, charge completed when the all four lights are on and solid

Size - Swan Era Wand Wins!

Shibari Mini Halo - 7.8 inches long, decent travel companion
Swan Era Wand - Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide.

Vibration Settings - Shibari Mini Halo Wins! - More variety

Shibari Mini Halo - 20 vibration patterns with 8 intensities
Swan Era Wand - Guesstimate of 25 settings, powerful, feels great, and isn't obnoxious when on highest setting and laid down.

Penetration Ability - Swan Era Wand Wins! - Personal Preference, bigger isn't always better

Shibari Mini Halo - Penetration friendly but a bit bigger of a head than its competitor
Swan Era Wand - Small stature allows for easy and enjoyable penetration

Ease of Use Regarding Vibration Settings - Shibari Mini Halo Wins!

Shibari Mini Halo - 3 button operation. One button dedicated to power, one button to cycle through patterns and the third button to cycle through intensities.
Swan Era Wand - Single button operation makes finding the right vibration setting a bit cumbersome since it's a hold to increment, caps at the top and needs turned off to reset from the start style use.

Ease of Use General Sense - Shibari Mini Halo Wins!

Shibari Mini Halo - Easy to use/operate, easy to handle, penetration friendly, size seems more appropriate for a normal personal massager, nice variety of settings.
Swan Era Wand - Small vibration head that is more focused, easy to handle, and penetration friendly with full vibrational feel.

Overall Winner by Personal Preference - Unsure.

I want the compact size of the Swan Era Wand with the features of the Shibari Mini Halo. I find that I like small, easy to hide/travel with companions that have a wide selection of easy to access features.

Normally, I'm quite shy, slightly uncomfortable, lacking in confidence & downright prudish, but there are times in my life where I've also been very flirty & a little out there... I've surprisingly done some fun/weird/crazy/unexpectedly sexy things now & then. This now being one! Having ToyChats cross my path was extremely unexpected, initially off-putting and somewhat comical at first. I genuinely never thought I'd make it past the first review as I felt it was just not in my wheel house, now I'm somehow 50+ reviews in w/ a giant box of dicks. >.<" The comedic aspect, the writing freedom, the job of it, the fun/awkward stories that have come from it and the overall distraction has surprisingly helped me crawl out of a dark place, find a new level of self-confidence, an appreciation for self-love (not just sexually) and a reignited a desire to be quirky/free. My goal here is to help others feel not alone, share my truth, use horrible puns/wordplay, provide useful info and have fun! ♥

An Interesting Night Out with the Blush Rose Lipstick Vibe
It's a gamble that could be worth it more than it's not. Go into it with low expectations and give it the chance to surprise you like it did me! With finicky circuitry that made it a chore to initially keep on without bumping it out of place, this thing seemed like it was going to be destined for the trash bin. With a design that actually seems to concentrate the vibration in a beautifully easy to aim point that seems to allow me to focus on that one spot that really wants it...It's more than proved it's worth keeping! Regarding the "Duration of Use", it was not a fully tested feature, so I made a minimum best guess thinking it should more than likely last longer. Testing it for my photo/video op took longer than it took me to reach satisfaction and I believe it would have kept going just fine and dandy. My guess is however long a AAA battery usually lasts would be the duration, and if you have rechargeable ones on hand and can move fast like you're working a NASCAR pit you'll have a good time! ;P

Inya: The Rose Review - I've Been Kissed By A Rose ♫♪
This is the type of flower you should ask for or receive when your partner wants to say sorry or just wants to surprise you! It's a flower that'll last you a lifetime and it's a gift that keeps on giving! Don't be fooled by its size, it packs quite the punch even on its lowest setting, and there are 6 others you can explore (mix of steady and pulsing)! If you're a bit on the sensitive side like me, the 45 minute use span might last an eternity as the intensity drove me crazy in under a minute and I was definitely done in under 5. Its inconspicuous design allows you to leave it out in the open for easy access, or carry it around without issue. Simply tell people it's a rose shaped speaker or whatever you can imagine!

Satisfyer Mission Control Review: Houston We Have Liftoff!
"Mission Control, this is NotSoInnocent, it seems this rocket was able to take us further than we could have ever imagined!" This is "one small step" further into the realm of clitoral stimulation toys that can help you take a "giant leap" into ecstasy! If Buzz Lightyear had to satisfy you with a rocket (that wasn't his own), this would be the one! All puns aside, I would definitely recommend this product! The variety of settings, the power levels and the waterproof rating make it an awesome companion, while its adorable nature makes it easy to leave it out on a nightstand as a cute space themed dickeration.

ROMP Lipstick Review: For Plumper Lips Try This!
My makeup bag just got a little fuller and so did my lips! The usual price for this device is a bit scary, especially in comparison to the Blush Lipstick, but I'd definitely recommend snatching it up when it goes on sale for around the same price as the Blush as it's so worth it! As someone that's still new to the world of toys it was the perfect little introduction to the world of clitoral stimulation ones. It's quiet, compact, soft to the touch and more than capable of getting the job done on its own, but it has the ability due to its small stature to be used with penetrating toys like the Blush Lipstick or others without getting in the way! I'm not much of a make-up gal, but having these two types of lipsticks in my bag guarantees I can have a good night on the town, anytime and anywhere!
