Last week, I told you all about how impressed I was with the basic and affordable yet surprisingly effective Ignite Bullet Vibrator from Lovehoney’s new line. Today I’m bringing you a review of the Ignite Finger Vibrator.
Ignite Finger Vibe: Details
The Lovehoney Ignite finger vibrator is a tiny little toy, barely 3″ in total length. You wear it on your finger like a ring. The main part is shaped like a teardrop and tapers to a soft point.
The Ignite Finger Vibrator is fully waterproof, USB rechargeable, and has a travel lock. It also comes with a drawstring storage bag. On the surface at least, impressive features for a £29.99 toy.
It’s made of the same body-safe silicone as everything in the range. Too many manufacturers compromise on safety when making entry-level toys which, needless to say, I am not here for. So it’s nice to see body-safe materials being prioritised as a minimum standard even for beginners’ toys.
Ignite Finger Vibrator Review: Usability
Because this toy is so tiny and light, this toy could work well for people who find it difficult to use heavier toys. And because it’s worn on the finger, you don’t even have to hold it in place. The small size also makes it easy to fit between bodies for clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex, if that’s your jam.
The Ignite Finger Vibe is definitely made for people with small hands. I have smaller than average hands, and it’s very snug on my index, middle and ring fingers. People with larger hands or thicker fingers will likely find this toy either uncomfortable or straight-up impossible to use.
The button placement is also weird. It’s a single-button interface, and the button is on the base of the toy. This means that whichever finger you wear it on, you have to curl your thumb under at an awkward angle to change the setting. It would have made much more sense to place the button on the front of the toy, where the charging port and Lovehoney insignia are.
Power & Patterns
The Ignite Finger Vibrator features the same 20 settings (3 constant speeds and 17 patterns) as the rest of the products in the range. As I said in last week’s review, I think 20 settings is pretty excessive, especially for a toy with a one-button interface (hello, endless scrolling to find the one you like!) But I can forgive it because these are entry-level toys. Having lots of settings to choose from is a good way to try things out and discover what you like.
The Ignite Finger Vibrator is… not a powerful toy. I’m not sure if the problem is the motor itself or thev placement. Either way, the Ignite Finger Vibe’s vibrations are weak and buzzy to the point of numbing. Some people enjoy gentler vibrations, and if that’s you then you might find this toy perfectly adequate for your needs. But if you’re looking for strong or rumbly vibrations, give this one a miss.
Lovehoney Ignite Finger Vibrator Review: Verdict
I thought I’d have more good things to say about this toy after I was so impressed with the bullet from the same range. Unfortunately, it was pretty disappointing. Its vibrations are too weak and buzzy, and I had to reach for a different toy mid-session to finish the job. Couple that with the awkward button placement and this one is a no from me.
The Ignite Finger Vibe retails for £32.99 from Lovehoney UK and $44.99 from Lovehoney US.
