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!!

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!

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

Waterproof Settings - Tie!

  1. Shibari Mini Halo - IPX7
  2. Swan Era Wand - IPX7

Run Time - Swan Era Wand Wins!

  1. Shibari Mini Halo - Up to 120 Mins on low, Average 90 mins
  2. Swan Era Wand - Up to 150 Mins

Charging Time and Indicator - Shibari Mini Halo Wins!

  1. Shibari Mini Halo - 90 min charge time, indicated with 3 lights on the front, charge completed when all lights are off.
  2. 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!

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

Vibration Settings - Shibari Mini Halo Wins! - More variety

  1. Shibari Mini Halo - 20 vibration patterns with 8 intensities
  2. 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

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

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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!

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

I'm genuinely amazed I'm here! Though I can come off very flirty and sometimes talk a big game, when it comes to certain sexual aspects I am actually quite shy, slightly uncomfortable, lacking in confidence and can sometimes be downright prudish lol. My sex life always consisted of my favorite fingers or an actual man. (Shocking I know!) Toys were something I felt would disrupt intimacy or ruin my ability to orgasm without one. Let's face it, a man can't vibrate like a motor can or always keep up with the Energizer Bunny lol. It was actually a recent relationship with vastly different libidos that resulted in the strangest gift of my 1st ever toy: an egg w/ an app and settings created by other users. At first it felt like cheating... Over time, it became a boost to my independence/self-confidence and I realized I needed to learn to love myself in new ways. This is a definitely surprising step in my journey of self exploration, but one that I hope can oddly help others in theirs too!

  • Venice Vixen Review: Baby Why Don't We Go Down to KoKomo ♪

    Gotta get the usual puns/jokes and comments out of the way... Ready to get down and dirty in the sand?! Talk about fun in the sun! Sex on the beach anyone? Okay, got that out of my system... CalExotics Venice Vixen is my favorite "all in one" toy by CalExotics thus far as it's internally and externally stimulating at the same time. Compared to the Jack Rabbit it feels better built and high quality, with a different and personally more preferred shaft shape. The best thing about the Jack Rabbit was the ears, which in all honest I prefer to have over the encaser the Venice Vixen has to offer as they are just... more invigorating. Incase you're wondering and want an easy summation of features, the CalExotics Venice Vixen has 10 clitoral encaser modes, 3 shaft intensities, a use time of 45 min on high and 150 on low, a charge time of 150 mins, and though no IPX rating is officially provided it claims it's waterproof.

  • Adam & Eve Intimate Curves Wand Review: Not an Ollivanders' Wand but Still Pretty Magical

    Seemingly out of wand puns somehow, so disappointing! ><' The Adam & Eve Intimate Curves Rechargeable Wand is an excellent personal massager, vibrator and clitoral stimulator. It has a 3 hour use time on low, a 1.3 hour use time on high, is submersible in water, is dual ended and has 10 settings, 3 vibrations and 7 patterns, which start out at a decent intensity. Excellent for a first time wand user, no need to be a witch or wizard to use it lol.

  • CalExotics French Kiss Review: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? ♪

    This lip-locking sensual sucker is the best kisser in town! To semi quote Diageo from Silicon Valley... "This toy fuuucks!" *mind blown emoji lol* CalExotics French Kiss is hands down my favorite CalExotics toy thus far! My favorite part of the CalExotics' Jack Rabbit was the ticklishly tantalizing ears, and that's now been combined with the sucking sensation I've "come" to enjoy from toys like the Satisfyer Mission Control and Romp Lipstick... Merci for the toy I never knew I was missing out on lol. This beautiful toy has the poise of the INYA Rose but is bit better in several ways. It has 12 totally fuckable functions, two interchangeable heads, a travel lock setting, a memory chip and can be submersed in water... Can you say... "Ooo la la!" xD

    Lovense Osci 3 Review: Definitely Barbie's Favorite Toy!

    Barbie called and said Ken can take a hike, she's got a new favorite pink accessory that's more anatomically correct than he is. The highlighter company called... All of its pink highlight fluid is missing. I think it turned into a Flubber situation. I'm disappointed Lovense didn't include sunglasses because god damn do my eyes hurt when I look at this. It should come with a warning, "May cause temporary blindness!" Thank goodness this is a penetration toy that causes eye rolling experiences, aside from storing it, that's the only reprieve. Okay I think I'm done....lol. This product will thump that clit, vibe that G-spot, heat things up and expand horizons and connections with its Bluetooth and app capability. It's a somewhat funky fit, at least in my case, but the sensations still feel good! Aside from the color... The biggest downside is how big of a dust/dirty collector it is in comparison to other toys. Definitely clean this one before every use, despite it being cleaned after every.

    Small But Mighty Bullet - Maia Jessi Review

    It took me five minutes, with instructions in hand, to discover how to ignite the device. Hold for three seconds to turn on, click gently to switch between settings. The lights are subtle, so that’s nice. The power was way more than any of my off-brand Hitachi wands or previous bullet vibrators. It has no bells and whistles. No remote. Not even a handle to relieve some of the intense power from reaching my hands. My skin felt the vibrations without actually touching the device, so playing with the settings and the physical placement allowed a diverse range of sensations. I feel like this toy has three ideal settings: in a sleeve or other holder (and its intense power would allow this and not have its effectiveness dampened), as a toy to tease or torture a partner, or for discretion, something to sneak to work or toss in a suitcase. I lament that these types of vibrating toys never have a way to track what setting you are on, and as far as I can tell, this toy does not. You are left to count and listen to the various noise patterns to determine which settings you are and find your favorites. For solo insertion, this toy seems too small to hold and the completely smooth shape means if you want to dip inside you better have practice with jade eggs and other Kegel-style “exercisers.” The force of the device seems to muddy where the toy impacts sensation more, on the hand or on the target. There is a technique, if you balance the vibrator like a top or a driedel, using only minimal pressure from one finger, that you can enjoy the toy solo without the heavy aftershocks in the hands. The size of this little guy leads me to explore if I can find new uses for it… So while it may not be practical and for immediate needs, it certainly inspires my creativity. With some stores offering this toy at $18 (Walmart), this toy provides more power and enjoyment than expected, I will probably save it for play at an unexpected unexpected place and time, not in the bedroom.

    This cute vibrator comes with a ton of goodies, a nice box, and a powerful motor. If you want a cute, simple toy, then this is the one for you. I loved using it to vibe in the shower and for quickies! If you want more options or variety, then look elsewhere. If you just wanna get straight to the point, then this is for you!

    The Era Swan Wand: My New Buddy

    The Era Swan Wand is my new go-to travel companion. I always take a vibrator with me on trips. I look for something compact with a travel lock that will keep me entertained on work trips or vacations. The Swan Era will do just that. This wand is small but mighty, providing shockingly intense vibrations. It’s comfortable to use and has a flexible next and smooth head that stimulates with ease. The toy has only one button to turn it on or off and change the mode. The motor glides upward in intensity as you hold the button down, though to decrease vibration strength, the device needs to be turned off and then back on. The Era Swan Wand comes with a soft, white storage bag that holds its charger and user manual. Ultimately, because of the power behind this motor, I think this is a great second toy—unless you’re specifically in the market for a powerhouse.

    BMS Factory PalmPower Plug & Play Wand Massager

    Made by the BMS Factory, the creators of the famed "Power Bullet," the PalmPower Wand Massager came with high expectations but didn’t fully deliver. While the single-function button and silicone head are functional and feel great, the vibrations leave much to be desired. They’re strong and rumbly only at the highest setting and the rest of the modes just lack the deep resonance found in smaller bullets or larger wands, making it feel like an "inbetweener" that doesn’t quite excel in either category. The corded setup is another drawback—disruptive during solo play and downright awkward, if you’re trying to incorporate a partner. While the compact size and portability are commendable, issues like uneven vibration, the finicky detachable cap, and control quirks weigh it down. If you’re someone who loves the Magic Wand but craves a quieter, more compact version, the PalmPower might fit the bill—but expect to work around its flaws. For those seeking a seamless and deeply satisfying experience, investing in a more refined wand may be worth considering.

    The Tame Dame Zee Bullet

    As far as bullet vibrators go, I would say this one sits in the middle ground of mid-range power—mid-range fun. The shape and exterior are pretty typical bullet design, precision tip, small and compact, and soft ABS plastic, which is pretty smooth on the glide. It has 3 vibration settings on the buzzy side (I could feel it way in there). While not packed with multiple patterns, the simplicity of the three-speed settings allows users to focus on finding the right level of vibration for their pleasure. It's rechargeable, which is great, and can be used on other parts of the body, too—externally only! Trust me, you don’t want to be fishing for this baby inside your body. It's rechargeable and has a long playtime, so you can take it on multiple trips on the pleasure tracks without worrying about popping out batteries or running out of juice. It’s also pretty quiet, water resistant, and has a one-button control.
