Review: VVD RiderGo G-spot fingering vibrator

Kate Sloan

I’ve been really into having my G-spot fingered lately. Usually I prefer deeper penetration, but my G-spot received a lot of attention toward the end of a lascivious first date recently, and so that type of stimulation has been on my mind: the way it makes me gasp and twitch, the balance it strikes between “a little too much” and “yes please more,” and its tendency to make me squirt. G-spot play has a lot to recommend it!

I was intrigued, then, to receive an email from VVD – makers of the Vkini vibrating bra and the Rider Desire sex saddle, both of which I’ve previously reviewed and enjoyed – offering me their new vibrator, which is designed to mimic G-spot fingering. It’s called the RiderGo.

What is the VVD RiderGo vibrator?

VVD’s flagship product is their Rider Desire sex saddle, a rideable toy in the vein of something like a Sybian or Cowgirl, only a whole lot smaller, lighter, and cheaper than those plug-in behemoths of yore. Like many vibes of its type, the Rider Desire came with a few different interchangeable attachments, each with a slightly differing shape and function.

However, as I noted in my Rider Desire review, rideable vibrators are sometimes too bulky, heavy, and awkward to be practical, especially for those of us whose bodies have limitations – which is why it’s so neat that VVD has since launched the RiderGo, a handheld toy that uses the same magnetic attachment system as the Rider Desire.

If you’ve got both toys (which are conveniently sold as a bundle), you can use any/all of the attachments on either the handheld RiderGo base unit, or the rideable Rider Desire base unit, depending on whether you’re in the mood to hold the toy yourself or hump it hands-free. How versatile!

Interestingly, the RiderGo isn’t just a handle for attachments – it comes with its own attachment, the tip of which strokes up and down like a partner massaging your G-spot with their fingers. Its base unit also features a clitoral vibrator – so, in effect, the RiderGo is a rabbit vibrator that features the rare ability to swap out the vaginal arm for other attachments (not included), should you so choose.

Things I like about the VVD RiderGo vibrator:

  • Powerful stroking: This toy’s fingering-esque G-spot stroking function is genuinely great. The tip of the shaft moves up and down quickly in a manner that really does resemble strong human fingers. It doesn’t weaken or slow down under pressure at all, even when I squeeze my vag muscles as hard as I can – this is extremely rare among sex toys of this type! If you like having your G-spot fingered fast and firm, you should consider this toy.
  • Independently controllable functions: The finger-like stroking is controlled using a separate button from the clitoral vibration, so you can stick to using one or the other if you want. If you remove the attachment altogether, you can even use the base unit as a standalone clitoral vibrator, which is useful when you’re still getting turned on and aren’t ready for penetration yet.
  • Versatile clit stimulator: The RiderGo’s clitoral arm is highly flexible/bendy, so it moves with you when you thrust the toy, maintaining clitoral contact the whole time (yay!!). I also appreciate that it has a tongue-like protrusion which feels great on my clitoral hood and actually stays there instead of sliding around uncomfortably, because my clit’s really sensitive and prefers indirect stimulation.
  • Stimulates clit even without vibration: While we’re talking about clit stim – if I turn on this toy’s thrusting function but leave its vibration off, it stimulates my clit nonetheless, because the thrusting motion rubs the toy’s external arm against my clit on each thrust. It’s not enough to get me off, but it certainly gets me turned on/warmed up, which makes the ensuing vibration feel better.
  • Handle design: The looped handle is a great design choice for a thrusting toy, because these toys tend to wriggle their way out of your vag unless anchored in place somehow; I usually put a pillow between my legs for this purpose, but with this toy, I can just thread one finger through the handle’s loop and it takes very little hand strength for me to keep the toy stationary while it thrusts. A thoughtful touch!
  • Modular: It really is pretty cool that you can swap out this attachment for the ones that come with the Rider Desire for some additional variety… although, of course, not everyone will be able to afford both toys.
  • USB-C charging: I’m seeing more and more sex toy companies adopt USB-C for their products, and I’m always glad when they do, because it means one less cable to pack when I travel.
  • Waterproof: It’s IPX7 waterproof, meaning you can wash it in the sink or use it in the bath or shower without fear of ruining it.
  • Price: $79 is a decent price for a powerful, rechargeable dual-stim vibe that mechanically strokes your G-spot, but it’s an even better deal if you bundle it with the Rider Desire and use my coupon code (KateS) to get 12% off: the whole shebang comes out to $290 and they’ll even throw in a bottle of water-based lube for ya.

Things I don’t like about the VVD RiderGo vibrator:

  • Buzzy vibrations: I wish these clitoral vibrations were rumblier. As-is, they’re powerful enough to get me off – often enjoyably! – but just buzzy enough that I noticeably lose some clitoral sensitivity by the end of a session, resulting in weaker (albeit reliable/easy) orgasms.
  • Too few speeds, too close together: The RiderGo’s vibration and stroking functions both only have three steady speeds followed by a handful of patterns. IMO this is not enough steady speeds, especially since there’s not much variation between those three speeds, so I often don’t get the noticeable, immediate boost in arousal/stimulation I am used to getting when I turn a toy’s speed up.
  • Too straight: Despite VVD’s insistence that a gentle 15° curve is ideal for hitting the G-spot, I actually find that this toy’s shaft is too straight to consistently hit mine. It’s more of a teasing massage of the general area than a targeted G-spot onslaught. I wish there was enough shaft length for me to be able to slide this toy into my A-spot instead, because its shape is much better suited to that.
  • Loud: As with many toys that thrust or stroke in this manner, the RiderGo makes a fairly loud mechanical sound in use. That being said, the clitoral vibration is comparatively quiet; it’s only the G-spot “fingering” that’s loud.
  • Short battery life: The RiderGo’s battery only lasts about 45 minutes on a 90-minute charge, which is not ideal. I don’t like feeling rushed!
  • Ill-considered power button: Unusually for a sex toy, the RiderGo can be turned on or off by short-pressing its power button, not long-pressing (which does nothing). I accidentally turned the toy off a few times during testing by mistakenly hitting the power button while trying to change settings.
  • Not anal-safe: While the magnet that affixes the attachment to the base unit is pretty strong, I think there’s a chance the attachment could pop off inside you, so I wouldn’t recommend this toy for anal play.

Final thoughts

Even if the VVD RiderGo was just a rabbit vibe, as it appears to be, it would be plenty impressive. Its G-spot strokes are intense and unrelenting, its clitoral vibrations are strong (albeit somewhat buzzy), and its silicone and ABS plastic construction is high-quality.

But it’s not just a rabbit vibe – its shaft can be swapped out modularly for other attachments sold with VVD’s Sybian-esque Rider Desire, offering you extra versatility down the road. I find the RiderGo’s buzzy vibrations, high noise level, undervaried settings, and barely-curved shaft a bit disappointing, so this isn’t destined to be my favorite vibe – but even so, it was able to get me off reliably when I tested it, which speaks to the sheer power of its G-spot stroking. I think plenty of rabbit-vibe connoisseurs would really dig the RiderGo.

Oh, and I have some deals to share with my readers, courtesy of VVD! You can get the RiderGo, the Rider Desire, or a bundle of the two for a reduced price: my discount code KateS gets you 12% off, site-wide.

Review: Honey Play Box Vibrosa

Kate Sloan

What is the Honey Play Box Vibrosa?

Having been in long-distance dynamics for years at a time, I am no stranger to sex toys that are remotely controllable via Bluetooth. This is one of those – and while it looks, at first blush, like a pair of Kegel balls, it’s actually a vibrator designed to stimulate the G-spot and/or A-spot.

Each of the toy’s two “balls” has its own motor in it, and you can control those motors either separately or simultaneously using the Honey Play Box app. It’s made of silicone, and measures 4.64″ long by 1.45″ wide.

Things I like about the Honey Play Box Vibrosa

  • The HoneyPlayBox app is well-designed and has a bunch of cool features. You can use the 10 preset patterns (of which more in a second), or freely control each of the toy’s two motors separately; the interface is similar to that of Lovense toys. Connecting the toy to the app was quick and easy, too, and I didn’t experience any disconnection issues while testing.
  • While I normally dislike vibration patterns, the Vibrosa’s preset patterns are great, mostly because they’re all unrelenting rhythms with very little space between buzzes. To me, each of these patterns felt markedly more like being fingered than steady vibration would. You can also select songs from your music library to sync the vibrations to, if you prefer, which I found was another reliable way to strike the right balance between exciting variance and consistent rhythm.
  • The vibration quality is lovely: rumbly, deep, non-numbing. Each of the toy’s two motors seems to be tuned to a slightly different timbre, so you get some variety of sensation between the two. Somehow this makes it feel even more like someone is actually fingering my G-spot, which is cool.
  • The vibrations transmit somewhat into the toy’s “tail,” which sits on the outside of the body, so you get a bit of clitoral stimulation while using the Vibrosa – not enough that I could get off with it (as a member of the majority of vulva-owners who need clit stim to come), but enough that it noticeably adds to my pleasure.
  • The Vibrosa’s shape feels comfortable to me, and hits my G-spot well once I get it into the right position. Some of the vibrations transmit to my A-spot, too, if I insert the toy deeply enough – which feels really good and also offers more sensation options to whoever is controlling the vibe for me. Its grippy silicone ensures it doesn’t move around all that much, either, even when I get really wet.
  • It’s relatively quiet in use, as wearable Bluetooth-controllable vibes always should be, IMO, since you might want to use them discreetly in public places sometimes!
  • The toy can run for as long as 5 hours and 50 minutes on a one-hour charge – good news for those of us who hate when a vibrator dies mid-scene and want it to happen as seldom as possible!
  • It’s IPX7 waterproof, meaning you can safely submerge it in water while cleaning it or using it in the shower/bath, etc.

Things I don’t like about the Honey Play Box Vibrosa

  • Unfortunately a couple of the toy’s more interesting features just straight-up didn’t work for me. The “pressure sensitivity mode,” wherein squeezing your vag muscles around the toy is supposed to increase its vibrations, didn’t work at all, and the built-in A.I. chatbot kept erroring whenever I tried to speak to it.
  • The toy itself has only one button, which you can use to cycle through its 10 present patterns, none of which is just steady vibration. To control it any more granularly than that, you’ll need to connect it to the HoneyPlayBox app on your phone. I find this mildly annoying as someone who sometimes can’t be bothered to mess with apps when my hands are all lubey and I just want to concentrate on fantasies or porn, etc.
  • Minor gripe, but when using the preset vibration patterns via the HPB app, there is no visual feedback for the top (the person controlling the toy) as far as what the current pattern actually is/feels like. I would imagine most tops would want more precise control and would therefore stick to the ‘free control’ function.
The ‘free control’ interface in the Honey Play Box app, which enables you to control the toy’s 2 motors separately

Final thoughts

Lately I’ve had a few excellent long-distance vibrator sessions with a new sweetheart who lives on the west coast, and it’s been reminding me just how awesome these toys are. They allow you to connect sexually with someone who’s potentially thousands of miles away, and to feel almost like you’re actually being touched by that person. There are a lot of complaints I could make about being alive in 2025, but lack of good sex toy technologies is certainly not one of them!

The Honey Play Box Vibrosa offers the benefit of having two separately-controllable motors, unlike similar Bluetooth-compatible G-spot vibes such as the Lovense Lush. This allows its usage to feel more like I’m actually being fingered by a partner, since, in practice, most humans won’t finger you in the exact same spot for many minutes at a time; typically they’ll mix things up, trying out different depths and angles, and this toy allows for more variety in that way.

I wish that its pressure-sensor function had actually worked for me, but aside from that, I think this is a pleasantly rumbly vibrator that would work well for long-distance play and/or surreptitious public play, because of its comfy wearability and quietness. Shout-out to Honey Play Box for making such a solid toy!

Review: SeekHeart Buniva rabbit vibrator

Kate Sloan

Sex toy reviewers are basically genital daredevils. We take risks with our junk so our readers don’t have to. 🫡

Or at least, that’s what I told myself when I first took the SeekHeart Buniva rabbit vibe out of its box – because it looked a little scary, to be honest with you! The spindly, ribbed sections on its shaft almost looked like teeth in the maw of some great, gaping monster.

And yet, being the vaginal stuntwoman that I am, I was deeply curious – because I’d never seen a rabbit vibe that looked like this before, and trust me, I’ve tried a lot of them! So I lubed up the Buniva and put it through its paces. Here’s what I learned…

What is the SeekHeart Buniva?

A rabbit vibrator is a specific type of dual-stimulation vibrator – that is, a vibe that offers both external and internal stimulation at the same time. This one has two independently-operated motors, one for each “arm” of the toy: an internal one for vaginal pleasure, and a classic pair of little bunny ears for clitoral pleasure.

What sets the Buniva apart from other rabbits is the hollow, ribbed section at its center. There is a spindly texture on the parts of the toy that (at least theoretically) rub against both the upper vaginal wall near the entrance and the external part of the urethra/possibly the clitoral shaft, depending on how your anatomy happens to line up with the toy. (More on this later.)

The Buniva is made of silicone and ABS plastic, lasts about 55 minutes on a 90-minute charge, and is IPX6 water-resistant, meaning you can wash it in the sink or use it in the shower, but should not submerge it in water.

Things I like about the SeekHeart Buniva:

  • When I saw its instruction manual describe this toy’s vaginal arm as having “deep, rumbly vibrations,” I scoffed and said out loud, “Yeah, right; I’ll believe it when I see it,” because of how many sex toy companies lie about this nowadays – but actually, the Buniva follows through on that claim! The vibrations of this toy’s internal arm are deliciously low-pitched and pretty strong. I enjoyed using this part of the toy on my clit, getting myself turned on before moving on to penetration – and once it was inside me, the deep vibrations felt wonderful on my vaginal walls and especially my A-spot, which the toy’s slightly upturned, 5.5-inch-long shaft can hit easily.
  • This toy lends itself well to being thrusted during use, which is unusual for a rabbit vibe – typically they lose clit contact when you try to thrust them, but this one is designed such that the clitoral arm moves/bends with you as you push the toy in and out. As with any dual-stim toy, it won’t work for everyone, because different people have different amounts of distance between their clit and vaginal opening – but the flexibility of the Buniva’s clitoral arm makes it fairly adaptable in this regard.
  • Okay, let’s talk about that spiky-looking texture! It might appear to be painful, but when you look at it up close, it’s more like the texture on those “ribbed for her pleasure” condoms – which is to say, it’ll be painful for some people, but plenty of other people will enjoy it. Just make sure to lube up this area of the toy really well for optimal results. At its best, the ribbing on the vaginal arm massaged my G-spot on each thrust. I wasn’t able to take the toy deep enough for the clitoral arm’s ribbing to make contact with my body, but someone with a vaginal depth of at least 5.5″ would be able to feel it against either their clit or the external part of their urethra. Urethral stimulation certainly isn’t for everyone, but some people like it, especially since the urethra is part of the super-sensitive CUV (clitourethrovaginal) complex. I’ve rarely seen a vibe that targets this zone so directly.
  • I appreciate that this toy charges via USB-C, because I always have one of those around to charge my laptop + Kindle anyway. I wish more sex toy companies would use existing charging-port shapes like this, rather than making proprietary ones.
  • At the time I’m writing this, SeekHeart currently sells this toy for a wildly low $14.83 on Amazon, or $35.49 on their own website. I don’t know how they can afford to price it that low, but a vibe of this quality could easily be sold for $40-60, so this is an impressive price.
  • This is a decently quiet toy, especially on the lower settings.

Things I don’t like about the Seekheart Buniva:

  • This toy’s biggest flaw is, unfortunately, all too common: the vibrations of its clitoral stimulator are annoyingly buzzy/high-pitched and not particularly strong. Given that the majority of people with vulvas need clit stimulation to reach orgasm, it always perplexes me when companies seem to treat their dual- or triple-stim toys’ clitoral arm as an afterthought, when for many users it’ll be the most important component of the toy. If the Buniva’s clitoral arm was as rumbly and powerful as its internal arm, I’d be able to give this vibrator a more enthusiastic endorsement, but alas, it is not.
  • Although (as mentioned) I sometimes enjoy the toy’s ribbed texture against my G-spot, there are other times when it feels mildly scrapey/irritating. It’s crucial to lube up that part of the toy for maximal comfort – and you’ll also want to clean it super-duper-extra well between uses and pee after using it, to reduce the odds of a UTI.
  • Each of the toy’s 2 motors offers only 3 steady speeds followed by 7 vibration patterns. Most users prefer steady speeds, myself included, so I always wish there would be at least 5 of them, to allow for more variety and a smoother gradation between settings.
  • It’s rare that I feel strongly about a toy’s aesthetics, but I don’t like the color of this one. It’s a muted shade of brownish-red that reminds me of menstrual blood. (Although, hey, maybe that makes it ideal for menstrual masturbation!)

Final thoughts

I was surprised that this toy was able to bring me to orgasm, given that its clitoral vibrations are fairly buzzy and weak, and that I – like most people with my anatomy – only get off when there’s good clit stim going on.

But the Buniva does something interesting: it stimulates the internal parts of the clit as well, with its ripply texture, deep A-spot-focused vibrations, and thrustability. My orgasms with this toy would certainly feel better if its clitoral arm was rumblier and stronger, so that I could actually feel the clit stim at the moment of climax, instead of being slightly desensitized from the buzzy vibrations – but it’s a testament to this toy’s smart design that I can come with it nonetheless, due to how it massages my internal clit when I thrust with it.

If you prefer to keep your rabbit vibes stationary, this one probably isn’t for you, because it shines best when thrusted. But if you want a maximalist, ultra-textured rabbit that’ll surround your clit in vibrations from all sides while you thrust with it, the surprisingly affordable Buniva‘s got the goods. It’s not as scary as it looks, I promise.

Review: Lovense Lush Mini wearable vibrator

Kate Sloan

Happy new-Lovense-product day to all who celebrate!! 🎉 Lovense launched their newest vibrator today, the Lush Mini. They asked me to be one of the first people to review it, which always makes me feel like a vaginal VIP.

The Lush Mini is the latest iteration in Lovense’s line of Lush vibrators; I’ve previously reviewed the Lush 3 and Lush 4, so I was intrigued to see a slightly smaller version being released. These are G-spot vibes, meant to be “worn” vaginally: the bulbous internal arm presses against your G-spot while the slimmer external arm stays outside the body, on your clit.

They’re bulkier than something like a We-Vibe, so I wouldn’t recommend wearing one during penetrative sex, unless you adore feeling overstuffed! They don’t transmit much clitoral stimulation in the way that We-Vibes and Lovense’s own Dolce do – they’re all about G-spot stimulation. (They also lack a flared base, so they’re not anal-safe; get an Edge 2 if you want to experience Lovense’s amazing vibrations on your prostate.)

So, how different is the Lush Mini from its predecessors, and is it worth upgrading if you’ve already got a Lush? Let’s get into it!

Top row: Lovense Lush 4 (L) and Lush 3 (R). Bottom row: Lush Mini.

How does the Lovense Lush Mini compare to the other Lush vibes?

Here, have a comparison table!

As you can see, the main difference is size: the Lush Mini is 6 millimeters slimmer than the other Lushes (that’s about a quarter-inch). Accordingly, it’s 23% lighter, and its battery doesn’t last quite as long. It’s priced the same as the Lush 4.

Here are some things that are true of all three Lushes:

  • All of them are IPX7 waterproof, so you can get them wet and even submerge them in water without issue.
  • All of them can be controlled either via a button on the toy itself, or via Lovense’s app.
  • All of them are made of silicone and electroplated plastic.
  • All three vibes seem to use the same motor; they feel equally powerful and rumbly.
L to R: Lush Mini, Lush 4, and Lush 3

Things I like about the Lush Mini:

  • The quarter-inch difference in width between the Lush Mini and its predecessors may seem minor, but it makes a noticeable difference. I think a lot of users would prefer the smaller size, because it’s easier to insert even when you’re only mildly-to-moderately turned on (ideally with water-based lube!), whereas a larger Lush might require a bit more warm-up first for some users. I also find the Lush Mini more comfortable for long-term wear due to its smaller size, so I think it’s the better pick for surreptitious public-play scenes, especially hours-long ones.
  • This toy’s vibrations are every bit as wonderful as I’ve come to expect all Lovense vibes to be. They’re deliciously rumbly, and have an impressively wide range of intensities which you can customize quite precisely using the Lovense app.
  • Speaking of the app: I always sing the praises of Lovense’s Bluetooth functionality every time I review one of their products, but they really are doing the app-control thing better than any other sex toy company right now, IMO. Connecting a toy to their app is quick, easy, and intuitive. The app allows you to program your own vibration patterns or try someone else’s, control the vibe yourself or invite a long-distance partner to do so, and sync the vibrations to music or other sounds, among a cornucopia of other features. The vibrations respond quickly and seamlessly to my ministrations in the app. The whole interface is thoughtfully designed and encourages playful experimentation.
  • The Lush Mini’s neck is a bit shorter and possibly more rigid than the necks of previous Lushes, which allows it to maintain slightly firmer pressure against my G-spot during use, and helps keep it from sliding around. Once it’s on my spot, it usually stays there, unless I get really wet… which admittedly does sometimes happen, since this toy is prone to making me squirt, hands-free!
  • Interestingly, the external arm of the Lush Mini seems to conduct vibration significantly more than those of the previous Lushes. I still wouldn’t consider this a clitoral vibrator per se (unless you subscribe to the theory that the G-spot is actually just the back of the clit…), but it feels noticeably more pleasurable to me than previous Lush toys because it stimulates my clit more. I still don’t think I could get off from this toy alone, because I tend to need stronger clit vibration than G-spot vibration to reach orgasm, but it gets me a lot closer than any other Lush, and feels better during that process.
  • As with the other Lushes, the Mini’s shape is excellent for hitting the G-spot with minimal effort. The way it juts out to meet your spot is so cool and just feels right.
  • The Lush Mini’s ~4-hour battery life is impressive enough, but even more impressive is its “fast-charging” function: if you plug in the Lush Mini for just 7 minutes, it’ll charge up enough for an hour of play. This is an especially useful quality in a vibe you might want to wear out on a dinner date (or similar) like this one, since it sucks to realize your vibe is dead as you’re leaving the house for an impromptu public sexcapade. Avoid that whole nightmare by plugging in your Lush Mini for 7 minutes while you brush your teeth, style your hair, etc. before your date – easy-peasy.
  • Like most Lovense toys, this one is very quiet and therefore discreet. Love that.

Things I don’t like about the Lush Mini:

  • While the Mini’s smaller internal arm makes it more comfortable for long-term wear, the trade-off is: my orgasms with this toy inside me aren’t as intense as those with previous Lushes, simply because there’s less girth to squeeze around during those climactic muscle contractions. The difference is minor, though.
  • On principle it annoys me slightly that the Mini is priced the same as the Lush 4 ($129) because it seems like a smaller vibe should be cheaper, although realistically I know that the mechanics are largely the same and it probably costs about the same to make.

Final thoughts

There’s a lot to love about the Lush Mini, and I think many shoppers will gravitate toward it, rather than the other Lushes, because of its beginner-friendly petite form factor. It’s easier to insert, requires less warm-up, and is comfier for long-term wear than its predecessors, due to its slimmer silhouette. But the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and the Lush Mini shares tons of fabulous qualities with its older sisters: it’s strong and rumbly, quiet, waterproof, sturdily-built, and has great Bluetooth connectivity and battery life.

G-spot vibration isn’t always my jam, but the Mini’s vibrations are so satisfyingly rumbly that they add significantly to my pleasure no matter what else I’m doing. In one testing session, my partner even went down on me while the Lush Mini was inside me, nudging the external arm to the side so she could get at my clit – and the combo of her mouth with Lovense’s wonderful vibrations led to a breathtaking orgasm (complete with a bit o’ squirt) that left me feeling grateful to have a G-spot. This is the type of nifty sexual creativity that Lovense toys encourage.

If you want a G-spot vibe you can wear in public, or for hours at a time, the Lush Mini is an impeccable choice. Pair it with a Ferri panty vibe if you want more intense clit stimulation. The Lush 4 is still a solid option too, especially if you want something girthier to squeeze around. I don’t think there’s necessarily any reason to upgrade to the Lush Mini if you already own another Lush, unless you think the smaller size or speedier charging would make a big difference for you. But as for first-time users, I think a lot of them will go for the Lush Mini – it’s just so damn cute, useful, and pleasurable!

Review: Lovense Domi 2 mini wand vibrator

Kate Sloan

What is the Lovense Domi 2?

While best known for their wearable toys, like the Lush 4 G-spot vibe and Edge 2 vibrating butt plug, Lovense has expanded their range massively to include just about every major category of toy – so, of course, they had to make a wand, and that wand is the Domi.

The Domi is a petite wand, comparable in size to the Magic Wand Mini. It’s rechargeable and lasts up to 6 hours on a charge. Like Lovense’s other toys, this one can be controlled remotely (by you or by someone else) via the Lovense app. The Domi currently retails for $119.

Things I like about the Lovense Domi 2:

  • This is an impressively strong little wand! And it’s pretty damn rumbly for the lowest third(-ish) of its power range, after which it starts to get progressively buzzier. In my experience, a lot of wand users like some buzziness with their rumbliness, though, especially on the higher end. Personally, I prefer rumbly, so I try to stay within the lower range of intensities when using this toy so I don’t get overstimulated or numbed out from the buzziness – but I like that it offers such a wide range in terms of not only vibration strength but also vibration timbre.
  • The Lovense app opens up basically infinite possibilities for customizing your experience with this toy (and most other Lovense toys, too): You can control the vibration speed with greater precision than via the toy’s own buttons, create your own vibration patterns or try other people’s creations, sync the vibrations up to music or sound, etc. There are lots of more minor settings you can change too – like I was able to turn off the blinking red light on the toy’s control panel, which I constantly mistook for a low-battery warning, by unchecking “enable LED” in the Domi’s settings. Yay!
  • I think this wand’s size and shape will work well for a huge range of users. I find it easy to hold and maneuver around, even with my achy hands/arms – especially because of the thoughtful finger indentations on the sides of the handle. The wand’s smallish head allows it to target a clit or the head of a dick with ease. The Domi is also way more travel-friendly than a full-size wand, making it suitable for long-distance couples in more ways than one.
  • I like the Domi’s buttons a lot. They’re simple, but well-executed: the “up” button is slightly bigger and more raised than the “down” button, so once you’re accustomed to them, you can find them easily without even looking at the control panel. Kudos.
  • Could be a pro or a con, depending on your preferences: The Domi’s neck is very flexible, so you can press the wand’s head decently hard against your body without fear of snapping the neck. If you like applying a lot of pressure against your bits, however, you might find the flexible neck annoying because it doesn’t allow for that.
  • It’s absolutely wild for a wand to have a battery life of 5-6 hours like this one does! (For reference, the Magic Wand Mini runs for 2 and a half hours on a full charge; the rechargeable Doxy Die Cast 3R mini wand runs for only an hour.)

Things I don’t like about the Lovense Domi 2:

  • Lovense makes a couple of optional attachments for the Domi: the “Male” attachment, which is made to stimulate the penis and prostate, and the “Female” attachment, which is made for clitoral and G-spot stimulation. While these attachments are cool and add a lot of functionality to the toy, I wish they were named something less cissexist, since trans and nonbinary people exist and it’s 2025. I also wish they were included with the wand itself, rather than costing an additional $18–25 each, since the wand alone is already a bit pricier at $119 than some other wands of comparable size and quality (for instance, Lovehoney’s rechargeable mini wand goes for $60, Doxy’s goes for $70, and the Magic Wand Mini is $100).
  • I’m so used to controlling wand vibes via their own buttons that it feels unnatural and unnecessary most of the time to connect the Domi to my phone and operate it via the Lovense app… but, if you control it solely via its buttons, you only get 3 steady vibration speeds to choose from, with big jumps in intensity between each, and then it goes into vibration patterns. I find this irritating; 6-8 different steady speeds is the minimum I’d hope for. I don’t want to have to pull out my phone every time I jerk off, especially since touchscreens are hard to operate with lubey hands.
  • This is a fairly loud vibe (as is common for wands), and the sound can be somewhat shrill and annoying. It’s not terrible but I definitely prefer to drown it out with some white noise on the stereo when I use this toy.
  • This wand isn’t fully waterproof, only IPX6 water-resistant, meaning it’s fine to wash it in the sink or use it in the shower but you shouldn’t submerge it. As an occasional bathtub masturbator, I find this a tad bit disappointing.

Final thoughts

Lovense is one of the most reliable companies making sex toys right now, if you ask me. I’ve loved many of their previous products, due primarily to their fantastic motors and excellent Bluetooth functionality – and the Domi 2 is no exception.

For myself personally, I tend to reach for wands that are easier to control via their own built-in buttons, so it’s not ideal for me that the Domi requires you to connect it to your phone to access its full range of settings. I also wish it were waterproof and quieter.

But overall I think the Domi 2 is a really solid option for anyone seeking a mini wand that boasts significant power, especially if you have a long-distance sexual connection in your life (or would like to, at some point). It’s not often that I have occasion to recommend a long-distance-compatible wand vibe, but this is the one to get, if you’re looking to get one!
