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!
About the product

If you want the ride of your life pick up a Swan Sceptre AKA The Gearshift! With a guesstimation of 30 settings, this device will surely have you feeling like a Queen in no time.


With a duration use longer than its charge time, two buttons that allow you to increase and decrease those powerful vibrations, a travel lock setting, a large and very powerful orb that covers all the areas, and a long handle for penetration use... you'll be feeling like royalty 'til the day you sing your Swan song!

Experience

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.
  2. The rounded end is NOT insert friendly in my nether region. A bit too bulbous for my liking.


With those points 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

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!

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!

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! :)

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


Overall Winner by Personal Preference - Swan Era Wand!

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. A toy with 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.

  • 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 ;P), this would be the one! All puns aside, I would definitely recommend this product! The variety of settings and the waterproof rating make it an awesome companion!

  • 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's 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. ;P 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!

  • ROMP Lipstick Review: For Plumper Lips Try This!

    My makeup bag just got a little fuller and so did my lips! ;P 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 sooo 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!

  • Swan Era Review: Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Ooooooooo

    If the Fairy Godmother had given Cinderella the Swan Era Wand she wouldn't have needed to go to the ball! ;P If Hermione Granger found the Swan Era Wand at Ollivanders, she'd be saying Lavios-Aaaaaaaaaaah. xD One more... You could unlock my Chamber of Secrets with an Iiiiiii-want-some-more-aaaaaah spell... Okay okay, bad puns/jokes aside... in all seriousness... I'd highly recommend this product. It's small enough to be an easy travel companion, it's suuuuper powerful, and it'll make you feel magical inside and out!

    The Bigg Bullet Vibe: BGood Classic Bullet

    I gave the BGood Classic Bullet a try, and I’ll be honest—it’s a solid pick if you’re looking for something simple but effective. Despite being called a bullet, this bad boy is pretty long, coming in at 7 inches, there's plenty space for a good comfortable grip during play. The PU-coated plastic material has a smooth feel that works beautifully with lube, gliding effortlessly for pinpoint or broader stimulation. So, whether you going for the classic clit stimulation or looking to trail the toy down your thigh, its going to work. The matte finish is a nice touch too—it keeps things from slipping through your fingers during play. Okay, let’s talk about the feel. The vibrations are steady and satisfying, there's a mix of steady and pulsing modes, offering some variety in stimulation. The vibrations range from a gentle buzz to more intense settings that touch into a rumble, so definitely take the time to explore here. Oh, and the waterproof design? Total win as always. Who doesn’t love a long, satisfying soak (in more than one way). I must admit, it's not loaded with fancy extras, but if you’re after a reliable, wallet-friendly option, this bullet is the go-to.

    Hop to the "O" with the Bwild Classic Bunny

    The Bwild Classic Bunny Vibrator is a soft, silicon, beginner-friendly rabbit that’s more about gentle vibes than mind-blowing power. It’s a solid pick for those dipping their toes into dual stimulation toys, but if you’re a power seeker, this bunny might feel a little tame. The design is undeniably fun and playful with little floppy "clit bunny" ears. The toy is actually powered by two AAA batteries and that really surprised me (in not the best way). These batteries are of course, easy to source but they run out quicker than you’d like if you’re planning to use it in extended play sessions. The internal arm is slim and curved for G-spot stimulation, but it doesn’t penetrate very deeply, mainly because of its size, making it better suited for gentle exploration rather than deep dives. The external bunny ears are flexible and soft, designed to focus on clitoral stimulation, but the 5 vibration modes are all on the buzzier side rather than the famed rumbly. So, think more tease, less knock out. Cleaning is relatively easy since it’s made of body-safe silicone, but it’s not waterproof. You’ll need to wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap or toy cleaner, being cautious around the battery compartment to avoid water damage. For its price point, this bunny is worth a shot if you prefer a softer touch, but it’s not going to give you that deep, powerful stimulation that some might crave. It’s more about light, approachable fun for those who enjoy a softer vibe.

    We-Vibe Jive Review: Just… Meh

    The We-Vibe Jibe isn’t a bad toy by any means, but it works best as an accompaniment rather than the main course. At an RRP of $130, it’s also quite a pricey option, even if it does offer rumblier vibes than the competition. If you don’t know how you feel about internal vibrations, that’s a lot to spend on a punt to find out.

    The Je Joue Mimi Soft: Pretty in Pink, But Not So Perfect in Play

    The Je Joue Mimi Soft Fuchsia Vibrator is undeniably a stylish and sophisticated toy, but when it comes to practicality and comfort, it leaves a bit—or rather a lot—to be desired. While the soft silicone and variety of vibration patterns are nice features, the awkward shape and limited maneuverability make it hard to fully enjoy. I found myself flipping it over more than once and trying more than a few angles, trying to get a good dose of the broad external stimulation it promises. All in all, it’s a toy that looks better on your nightstand than it feels in your hand during use. Switching through modes is another uphill battle, with small, dainty buttons on the circumference of the toy, which makes it almost impossible to switch through while you’re holding it in play. On the plus side, it’s rechargeable with a magnetic charger and has a fairly long playtime (I guess you’re going to need the extra juice considering finding the right play angle is near impossible on most days). On paper, it ticks a lot of boxes, but in practice, it’s not as user-friendly as it sounds.

    Something to Lust About: Wonderlust Harmony

    The Wonderlust Harmony is a flexible little number which has a smooth, soft-touch and a curved design that feels great against the skin. The idea of dual stimulation—internal and external— with this toy initially sounded great, but the clit hood on the external arm is a bit too gentle. It's almost unnoticeable vibrations across all 20 modes, which might be a little underwhelming if you're after intense clitoral stimulation. The internal arm on the other hand, does a great job of providing varied stimulation (my boat was pleasantly rocked). The power is nothing to write home about but the mix of buzzy and rumbly vibrations hit the spot. It's also waterproof and incredibly easy to clean, making it low-maintenance and travel-friendly. If you’re someone who enjoys steady pleasure, the Wonderlust is for you.
