My verdict

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.

Pros

Soft feel
Clean design
Discreet

Cons

Noisy
Intense vibration can be hard on the hands

Design

This vibrator is small, sleek, and soft. It is very plain and has a variety of appealing colors.

Experience

The intensity of the product was a double-edged sword for solo play as the same power that makes it effect the skin without actually touching only causes feedback into the hands.

Quality

At the price point, it seems very good quality for the price. I have paid more for less in the past.

Price

I saw this product listed at Walmart for $18 and at specialty retailers for as much as $30. I think it packs a powerful punch at that price point.

Performance

This product has more settings and power than I expected.

Packaging

The packaging allowed full view of the product without opening and offered company information, like socials, and basic information about the product itself in a tiny box. The box is efficiently packed and organized and the instructions straightforward.

Special feature

The ease of one-button use was handy once you got used to it.

Charging Port

This was a little confusing-- you literally have to penetrate the power button with the cord to charge. (Photo also shows the instruction card.)

    Pipedream Fantasy For Her Duo Wand: Never Been so Disappointed!

    It’s one thing to send a broken toy. But, to send a broken wand, with stains on the head and half of a button missing? What a shame. The Fantasy for Her Duo Wand looked like an interesting take on a wand. It has a curved head and is a comfortable size, not too big, not too small, but Pipedream lost a customer. I’ve gotten broken toys before. Years ago, I ordered a new Liberty 2 from Womanizer. I was so excited, the pandemic had closed down my job, leaving me at home to masturbate uninterrupted. Except, when the Liberty arrived, it didn’t work, no matter how long it charged nothing happened. I immediately reached out to Womanizer, and they replaced the toy, no questions asked, and I got a working toy in the end. It’s super normal, though still uncommon, for a toy to show up and not work. Most companies are great about replacing them. Had the Duo Wand just been broken, I would’ve gladly ordered another one. But alas, it showed up in its sealed plastic with stains on the head. I can’t imagine it had been used; that would truly cross so many lines. A toy should always arrive in its best condition, but there was chipping on the metal band around the handle, one button’s decal was smudged, and there were stains. Considering everything that was wrong with this toy, I don’t recommend trying toys from Pipedream.

    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.

    "Peace Lily" Amazon Clitoral Stimulator Review: Peace Among Clits

    If I had a choice between a bouquet of flowers or one flower for $13, I wouldn't mind receiving the single one so long as it was something like this lol. This is going to last longer and bring a bit more joy than the week long fading beauty of cut flowers in a vase. Is it going to bring immense joy? Not really, but it's a great way to set a mood and start things off. With its IPX7 rating, I'd be glad to see this flower floating in a candle lit bath session. The biggest downsides are the short use time, lack of storage pouch, surprisingly audible volume and too smooth nature, but those aren't enough to drive me away. As promised, here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6YD9NCQ?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_1

    Bgood Classic Vibrator: Gotta Love a Classic

    Whoa. That baby purrs. I don’t know what screw is loose or if it’s a genius classic design, but the vibrations from Bgood Classic purr. That’s the only word for it. It feels almost like there's space between the motor and the walls of the toy, letting the vibrations reverberate through. It makes the vibrations feel deep and sensual. Not to mention, this toy has horsepower. Bgood was not playing around when they made this toy. My only critique would be that I wish it was easier to turn off and that the materials were slightly higher quality. It’s a little on the loud side, which I don’t mind–I live alone, so it’s fine. But it’s strong and loud, and when you’re done, it’s not fun to fumble around. If the materials were higher quality, it might feel more luxurious and have a longer battery life. It has five vibration settings, though the lowest intensity is still pretty strong. Overall, it’s a lot of fun.

    MotorBunny G2G Panty Vibrator Review: G2G Will Have You Screaming Leeerooooooy Jeeenkiins

    Bear with me for a moment, I know this statement is going to be a bit weird, but it's the most accurate description I feel I could use at the moment. The Motorbunny G2G brought an orgasm and fantasy on that was a culmination of all of the hottest, flirty, fun, juvenile dry hump sessions I've ever experienced. I'm honestly a bit upset I didn't have someone around to nibble, tease, and play with while I tested it, but I came away blushing, gushing and feeling like I did anyway. Combine that with the fact that I can also sit around and play classic games, you have one hell of a happy camper! That aside, the Motorbunny G2G has 9 settings (3 vibes and 6 patterns), a use time of around 4 hours, 3 ways to interact with it (itself, an app, and the Playmate adapter), an IPX7 rating, and comes with 3 different colored magnets to customize its look. The app consists of 10 classic games with sensually punny names, and a remote control menu that allows you to raise and lower the intensity, doodle yourself a new pattern, have your favorite song rock your world, or have someone join the room and do any of those for you! The Playmate is a device that features an accelerometer that enables tilting actions to control the vibrations of the toy, it also claims to react to in-game haptics but that feature is sadly subpar at this point in time. Just know, if you're into a little bump and grind type of session, this is definitely a good toy for it!

    LeWand— Dive Submersible, Rechargeable, Vibration Wand

    Overall 9.5 out of 10! This vibration wand is my absolute new fave! Not only is it extremely powerful, but it’s gorgeous! The color details are insane. It’s sparkly and so girly! The vibrations are INSANE. The strongest setting is going to take you on a ride for your life— then it’ll be over quick! Because you’ll finish (; The only extra feature I don’t think that was necessary with this toy, is that there are 20 different vibration modes. Most people prefer the original vibration buzz, if I’m right, but maybe I’m not. Just seems like there was some extra work that could have been avoided when creating this. Completely submersible is mind blowing for a toy like this. Love that feature! At around the same price or lower than the original magic wand, this is comparable and much more advanced than that wand. Time to go out with the old and in with the new. Check out LeWand and you won’t be disappointed.

    The Lelo Soraya Wave delivers a unique and satisfying experience with its come-hither motion and dual motor design.

    Ambi – The Bullet That Can’t Outbuzz, But Might Outsmart Them All

    Smart, Smooth & Buzzier Than Expected We weren’t expecting Ambi to stay. Not with the Swan Bullet flexing its power and the Tango X rumbling like a jackhammer in disguise. But then Ambi pulled a move we didn’t see coming: it adapted. It didn’t try to win by force. It won by finesse. ☺️ It’s not the strongest bullet we’ve tested. On pure vibration power, it loses the race to both Swan and matches Tango. But it doesn’t need to be the strongest because Ambi does something different. It plays with you. Learns with you, and syncs with your vibe, your scene, and your pace. During couple play, it fit seamlessly into every position we tried: missionary, cowgirl, and spooning. The toy delivered steady, well-placed clit stimulation without ever being in the way. That’s rare because most vibrators either jab or vanish under the sheets. What really sold me was the interactive side. Being able to sync Ambi to my favorite videos via the Lovense app turned this from a “nice little toy” into a full mood experience. The way it pulsed with the scene, flowed with the audio, and stayed right in the sweet spot without me touching a thing? That’s not a feature. That’s a game changer. Sure, I’ll still grab Tango X when I want a deeper punch, and the Swan Bullet for those buzzy, brain-melting quickies. But Ambi has carved out its own space in my rotation. It’s my go-to when I want control, comfort, and a little intimacy with my toy – when I want something that gets smarter the more I use it.
