Swan Era Review: Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Ooooooooo

Of the two Swan products I've received, this is by far my favorite. The only thing I didn't really like about it was the single button use and how it effects my play time, but that's covered more in other sections.

Though it hasn't been run through the shower time test yet, this device certainly brought some magic to the bed and couch tryouts! Even on the low setting I'm delighted with it.

Unlike it's partner the Swan Sceptre, and definitely unlike the Satisfyer Mission Control device, the vibrating head of this device can be used for easy and highly enjoyable penetration *throws confetti*!! The clitoral stimulation is wonderful too lol, but it's absolutely great when that moment of ecstasy that desires penetration can actually be "fully filled" with the same device! xD

**** I'm not sure if it exists already or not... but I think if the Swan product line replaced the charging end with an air pulse feature and allowed for a bit more control of overall settings... My head and vagina would simultaneously implode and explode from the utility of the device. ****

Swan's packaging is elegant and simple.

The front of the box has a picture of the product, the product name, and the company name and logo. The back of the box has the company name and logo, a short paragraph about the product itself, the company motto, and 5 bullets of feature information in 6 different languages. One side of the box has a picture of the product and the company motto, while the other has the company name and logo, the product name and a few details. The box itself is hard cased and wraps around the product like a book and seals with a magnetic clasp. Inside the box on the panels are single line drawings of the product and a woman's face and a few provocative but informative instructions.

I absolutely love how elegant and fancy this box is, I'm a sucker for the overall shades of blue and the golden line designs. If the product itself wasn't featured on the front and side I think I would be confident about approaching a counter with it, as is I'm a bit hesitant but would potentially still do it just because of how the rest of it makes me feel. I'm also a sucker for book style boxes with magnetic clasps, without the product pictures this would be a cute box to upcycle as a keepsake box.

**** For those that read the Swan Sceptre Review this is going to look identical, and that's because it is since the products were packaged the same. ****

Inside the package: The product itself wrapped in a protective/reusable plastic bag and then encased in a lovely white satin pouch; a user guide; a thank you card; and a charger!

I like the extra care of packaging the toy in a sturdy resealable plastic bag, the sturdiness of it makes me feel I could use it as a stand alone case option instead of the satin bag. Oddly, it seems perfect for airport travel as it's contained but visible!

The thank you is an awesome touch as it not only gives you insight into the company, the founder and the product but it makes you feel appreciated as part of the reason why the journey continues. :)

All of the toys I've used up to this point increase their vibrations one button press at a time. The variation among them is whether the desired setting is reach by: continuously cycling through the amount of settings one click at a time in order to reach the one before; turning the device off and cycling through the specified amount to the desired one; or having another button that allows the user to switch back and forth.

For example, the Satisfyer Mission Control toy has 11 air pulses and 12 vibrations, if I like the #5 air pulse and the #8 vibration I can get to those quite easily, just turn the device on and click 'til I reach those numbers. For the air pulse settings I have the added luxury of toggling up or down, while the vibrations can be used as a cycle through or stop and start again.

The Swan line introduced a whole new style of increasing the vibrations and I'm not sure I'm a fan of it.

The Swan Era Wand seems to have about 25 settings, compared to the Swan Era Sceptre with potentially 30 settings, at least from what I could tell after fiddling around with it and attempting to count the blinks.

Regardless, it's quite difficult to just singularly click through as one quick press of the button completely turns the device off. In order to move to the next setting the user must hold the button and let it climb... meaning if the user passes the setting, tough luck as it'll need to be turned off and the user will have to start over but be a more meticulous about it.

When the Swan Era Wand is initially turned ON, the motor causes the device to rattle all over, making the handle wobble about in the user's hand. If the user gently squeezes the device or holds the button down to increase to just the next potential level it stabilizes the whole device and allows the vibrations to focus in just the head of the device.

Overall, the vibrations are quite powerful and very enjoyable!

The Swan Era Wand has a wonderful feature called the Travel Lock. This features allows the product to shake, rattle, and roll about your luggage, drawer, or where ever it may be without accidentally turning on and wasting the pleasure on nothing!

To activate this feature simply press the power button 3 times in quick succession, the device will vibrate two times. Once this feature is activated you will notice that the power button can be pressed but nothing happens. To turn off this feature simply repeat the process and enjoy! :)

Size - Swan Era Wand Wins - Personal Preference

1. Swan Era Wand: Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide.
2. Swan Sceptre: Quite cumbersome, not as easy to hide or travel with.

Vibration Settings - Swan Era Wand Wins - Personal Preference

1. Swan Era Wand - Guesstimate of 25 settings, powerful, feels great, and isn't obnoxious when on highest setting and laid down.
2. Swan Sceptre - Guesstimate of 30 settings, powerful, feels great, but is super obnoxious when on highest setting and laid down.

Penetration Ability - Swan Era Wand Wins - Personal Preference

1. Swan Era Wand - Small stature allows for easy and enjoyable penetration
2. Swan Sceptre - From a personal standpoint: The rounded end is not insert friendly for my nether region at all, waaaaaay too big. The lack of vibration in the longer end makes it a bit boring to use. I've learned during this journey that if I'm going to use a penetration toy, I prefer a vibrating one not a plain do nothing dildo, if that's the case I'd rather use my fingers or an actual penis lol.

Ease of Use Regarding Vibration Settings - Swan Sceptre Wins

1. 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.
2. Swan Sceptre - Two button operation makes finding the right vibration setting a bit easier as the second button allows for the vibrations to be decreased so the device doesn't need turned off to be reset.

Ease of Use General Sense - Swan Era Wand Wins - Personal Preference

1. Swan Era Wand - Small vibration head, easy to handle, easier to focus, and penetration use with full vibration feel.
2. Swan Sceptre - Large vibration head, easy to handle, encompasses larger area, and the handle can be used as dildo.

Overall Winner by Personal Preference - Swan Era Wand!
