My verdict

"Ladies and gentleman, this isn't the Royal Court, it's the Grand Prix! So start your engines!!" I feel "Sceptre" is a misnomer, if anything, the name should've been "The Gear Shift"! The shape of the device could easily be considered a gear shift, and not only does it sound like it's housing a V8 engine, but it feels like it too! Though it's personally not my favorite toy thus far, its definitively powerful vibrations more than get the job done and I'd gladly recommend it to any user wanting to cruise the Autobahn like a Queen!

Pros

The Travel Setting helps avoid accidentally turning it on in your bag, your drawer or where ever!
IPX7 waterproof rating allows you to feel like a Queen in the shower, the bath, or the Jacuzzi! ;P
Guesstimate of 30 vibration settings, each more powerful than the last! Definitely wets your engine!
Super easy to clean! Duration use is longer than the charging time!
Two buttons allow the vibration settings to be increased and decreased!

Cons

Not enough vibration in the longer end of the sceptre! Makes my fingers tingle more than my insides!
IMHO: The rounded end is too large. I don't need something that big to stimulate a small area!
Not the best personal massager. Though the bulbous end covers quite a bit of surface it's too much!

Experience

ToyChats - Sex Toy Reviews with the Best Sex Toy Community Online!

Of the two Swan products I've received, this isn't quite my cup of tea.

Don't get me wrong, it has some lovely features!

  1. The clitoral stimulation of the rounded end of the Sceptre is top-notch!
  2. The fact that there are two buttons that actually let me increase and decrease the settings is awesome!
  3. Travel Lock is brilliant!
  4. Longer use time than charging time is awesome, even though I never need more than 10 minutes with any of my devices to reach satisfaction.

What irks me is:

  1. How bland the handle feels when used as a penetration toy. I'd like to feel more of that powerful vibration throughout it.
  2. The rounded end is NOT as great as I thought it would be for regular massage preferences. A bit too bulbous.
  3. The rounded end is far too big for penetration purposes so the big vibrations can't be utilized in an internal sense.

You'd think the good would outweigh the bad and I'd really like it, but given that the Era Wand allows for easy penetration with the intense vibrating head and is a better travel companion, I don't really see the need for a device like this in my collection as I have others that do the job a bit better. However, this toy is definitely a must-have if your collection isn't as expansive as mine!

Pictured are two Swan wand beauties right next to each other. Check out the Swan Era review to see my thoughts on that cute little blue buddy!

Packaging

ToyChats - Sex Toy Reviews with the Best Sex Toy Community Online!

The packaging is a sturdy/protective book style encasement with a magnetic clasp, all wrapped in a beautiful oil painting style design. The front is adorned with an angelic design around the product picture, while the back features an inviting synopsis of the product. Unlike other products that showcase them a bit more, the product features information is a subtle 6 point list provided under the synopsis on the back in 6 different languages. Other than that the package is adorned with just the product name/company and two simple quotes.

Personally, though I feel the packaging is quite elegant, it's still one I would have to debate on whether or not I'd feel comfortable walking up to a checkout with since everything about it screams that it's a sensual product. That being said, I love the sturdiness of the box and despite the design could see it being used as a keepsake box of sorts.

What's in the Box?!

**** For those that read the Swan Era Wand 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. :)

The Vibrations!

00:24

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 #8 air pulse and the #12 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 vibration settings can be used as a continuous cycle through or a 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 Sceptre seems to have about 30 settings, compared to the Swan Era Wand with potentially 25 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 bottom button completely turns the device off, and one quick press of the top button does nothing. In order to move to the next setting the user must hold the button and let it climb.... HOWEVER...

Unlike the Swan Era Wand, which has only one button, the bottom button on the Swan Sceptre allows for the user to actually decrease the settings when held and have an easier time trying to walk the device back into the right setting.

The vibrations of the Swan Sceptre are quite insane, a few moments into holding the device while it's on its highest setting left my fingers tingling. When laid down, while on the highest setting, it sounds like a snowblower entered the room lol. There's no real denying someone's trying to drive to pleasure town using this as the gear shift. xD

Travel Lock!

00:31

The Swan Sceptre 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 hold the two buttons for 4 seconds or until the device vibrates two times. Once this feature is activated you will notice that either button can be pressed but nothing happens. To turn off this feature simply repeat the process and enjoy! :)

  1. Swan Sceptre - Up to 210 Mins, On Low Speed
  2. Swan Era Wand - Up to 150 Mins

Charging Time and Indicator - Tie

  1. Swan Sceptre - 120 min charge time, indicated with the two buttons lighting up during charge and turning off when the charge is complete.
  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 - Personal Preference

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

Vibration Settings - Swan Era Wand Wins - Personal Preference

  1. Swan Sceptre - Guesstimate of 30 settings, powerful, feels great, but is super obnoxious when on highest setting and laid down.
  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

  1. Swan Sceptre - The rounded end is not insert friendly 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 over a plain do nothing dildo, if that's the case I'd rather use my fingers or an actual penis lol.
  2. Swan Era Wand - Small stature allows for easy and enjoyable penetration

Ease of Use Regarding Vibration Settings - Swan Sceptre Wins

  1. 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.
  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 - Swan Era Wand Wins - Personal Preference

  1. Swan Sceptre - Bulbous vibration head that encompasses a large area, easy to increase and decrease intensity, cumbersome to handle since it's top heavy, and the handle can be used as dildo.
  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 - Swan Era Wand!

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! ♥

    I hope it rocks your world more than mine lol ♥! Using the big head for general massages was a maybe, but the lack of vibration in the handle and the cumbersome size of the massage head was personally too much for me xD!

  • An Interesting Night Out with the Blush Rose Lipstick Vibe

    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!

    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!

    FunnyMee Rose Licking G-Spot Vibrator Review

    This review is brought to you by FunnyMee! They sent me the Rose and Sani to review, you should check out their website if you get a chance. You can also get 10% off either of these toys with my discount link: https://tinyurl.com/yveaafbe . . . Licking toys are just so difficult to get right!--the human tongue when performing oral sex on a vagina isn't just shallow oscillating movements that seemingly all sex toys do! We need Patrick Star "I can almost taste it now" ice cream licking gif happening. Couple that movement with some vibration and then you'd have a good licking sex toy...In my humble opinion. I actually like the Rose Thrustion a little bit more than my last FunnyMee toy review: the Sani (or Sany). The Rose does have a lot of going on, but doesn't really excel at anything. I think I was slightly hinting at this in my Sani review, but I feel like most people would totally be willing to drop a mid-tier or even a premium price on a really well designed and powerful toy. I think Lovense being so popular is a testament to that idea. The Rose instead opts to try and be a premium toy on a budget-friendly price...which just means they had to pare down and skimp in order to make the $26 price point able to make them a profit. If I were to give my unsolicited advice I would ask for a few things: 1) extending the shaft and adding a longer and a speed adjustable thrusting motion (like Lovense's Gravity) 2) adding a vibration element to the head/shaft and 3) a redesign of the licking element...and all this complaining is out of love...and because it's on the cusp of greatness ~ but not quite there yet.

    iroha Mini: A Small Massager That Packs a Punch

    The iroha Mini is an excellent size, making it easy to hold in your hand and have hours of fun with. Unfortunately, it's battery-operated and not rechargeable. Still, you can get up to 5 hours of playtime with it before changing the battery. If you like a fast vibe, this will make your day. If not, it is a bit much to handle and you'll want to carefully play around to find the right places to use this massager. It definitely does the trick with a little experimentation and patience.

    OMG Plaisir Wearable Clitoral & G-Spot Vibe Review: OMG Plaisir or Absolute Pleasure?!

    The OMG Plaisir can be found on PinkCherry for $70 normally, but is currently on sale for $42 (July 2025). Though it isn't necessarily OMG type pleasure, it is still enjoyable for what it is. Right out the box, I'm ecstatic it comes with a storage/travel pouch. I just opened and reviewed how many toys in this batch and it's essentially the only one to do so lol which is disappointing. I'm disappointed in the lack of a buzzy indicator when the toy is turned on, as I'd prefer that over the hard-to-see/super-easy-to-miss indicator light. I want to be able to insert my toys discreetly in the restroom sometimes and then potentially turn it on once I get comfortable, as it might take me a moment to do so, and why waste the battery while I'm dickstracted by other things going on beforehand?! The charge time being less than the use time may be a downside for other users, not so much me as I'm seemingly easy to please lol. The battery operated remote allows for users to easily switch back and forth between the 10 settings, 3 single vibes and 7 patterns, while the toy itself is a single button operation. The dildo portion is girthy, ribbed and a decent size, while the nubs are interesting but not the best feature I've come across. Overall, I'd use this toy much like I'd use the Evolved Paradise one, for a slow burn finish while watching something action packed or cerebrally witty. For a fast paced, wham bam alone session I'd grab something else first. Due to the features of this one I'd potentially pick it over the Paradise one for a more "realistic" movie/show watching experience lol.

    BMS Factory Lady Review: Mmmmmm.. M'Lady: Teeny Tiny Wand

    M’Lady Tiny Vibrating Wand is the perfect mix of funny, adorable, powerful, and effective. It’s so mighty and so small. I can’t get enough of it. Every time I look at it or use it, I have to chuckle. M’Lady is the perfect name; it matches the silliness of this ridiculously cute toy. Enough about the vibe it gives off, let’s talk about the actual vibes because they’re immaculate. Defying the laws of physics, this toy packs a punch. I could see the manufacturer releasing this toy as a gimmick, giving it one or two moderate speeds. But no, M’Lady is powered by Power Bullet. It has 3 speeds and 4 patterns that will knock your socks off. It comes in a precious carrying case, allowing you to hide it in your purse and take it with you for a date night or a short trip. I’m just so thrilled with this itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny wand.

    Playboy - In a Twist: Glass Vibrators for the Win

    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.

    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.

  • Foreplay Flutters

    Foreplay Flutters

    After giving the PlusOne Fluttering Arouser a solid try, I’d say it’s a fun tease. The standout feature for me was the realistic flicking tongue—it’s definitely unique—and thoughtful design comes in a close second. The varied vibration modes and 'licking patterns' are enjoyable, but some of the modes felt a bit repetitive, leaving me bored instead of locked in. That said, with some patience and effort (especially on the higher settings), it can get the job done—so if you want to put in the extra effort you can get to the finish line. The toy scores points for being quiet, easy to handle, and a breeze to clean and care for. I also love its versatility—it’s waterproof, the controls are straightforward, and the charging setup is refreshingly simple (no finger gymnastics required). However, as a standalone clitoral stimulator or vibrator, it doesn’t quite hit the mark for me. It’s more of a teasing, foreplay kind of toy, which worked well during partnered play and alongside other toys. But as a solo act? It falls a bit short in delivering that ultimate satisfaction.
