I don’t even know how many bullet vibrators I’ve tried at this point. They’re one of the most ubiquitous and popular sex toy models of all, and there must be thousands of variations on this theme on the market. Really good bullets, though? They’re much rarer. One such bullet vibrator landed in my review queue this week, though: Vibeology Aeronaut Mini Vibe.
What is the Vibeology Aeronaut?
The Vibeology Aeronaut is a bullet vibrator measuring 3.5″ in length and in the classic rounded-end shape. Its main body is made of ABS plastic, which is body-safe and non-porous as well as super easy to clean. The single button, located on the base, is made of silicone.
This toy is IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes at a time. It is also USB rechargeable via the included magnetic cable. I got over an hour of use out of a full charge.
Vibeology Aeronaut Mini Bullet Vibrator Review: Pros
Fundamentally, the Vibeology Aeronaut Mini Vibe is simply a damn good basic bullet vibrator. Its vibrations are surprisingly strong for its small size and low price-point, and also much more rumbly than I expected. Since plastic transmits vibrations well with minimal dampening, I can really feel them throughout my entire clit and vulva.
The shape allows for both broader stimulation with the long edge, or more targeting with the rounded end. I also appreciate this toy’s clicky, easy-to-press button and light weight.
Vibeology Aeronaut Mini Bullet Vibrator Review: Cons
My only major complaint about the Vibeology Aeronaut is its single-button interface. I always prefer to be able to scroll both ways through patterns and speeds. The Aeronaut has 3 constant speeds and 7 patterns, so having to cycle through all of them is a bit annoying.
One downside that is pretty consistent with bullet vibes I’ve reviewed is the transmission of vibrations into your hand, and the Aeronaut mini vibrator is no different. This tends to be more noticeable with plastic toys than silicone ones. It doesn’t bother me that much for short stints of use, but if you have pain or nerve issues in your hands it’s something to be aware of.
Aeronaut Mini Vibe: Verdict
If you’re looking for a good quality basic bullet with strong vibrations, particularly if you’re on a budget, the Vibeology Aeronaut is a fantastic pick. Considering its low price-point, I’m genuinely impressed at just how good this toy is.

ROMP is a toy brand owned by WOW Tech, the parent company behind brands such as Womanizer, We-Vibe, Pjur, and Arcwave. ROMP toys have a fun, playful aesthetic and come in a range of bright, popping colours. I received the ROMP Lipstick, a petite suction stimulator for the clitoris, to review.
ROMP Lipstick: Suction Clitoris Stimulator Review
The ROMP Lipstick Clitoral Suction Stimulator measures 4″ in total length and looks like, well, a tube of lipstick (or other makeup product such as mascara.) It wouldn’t look at all out of place in my makeup bag.
The ROMP Lipstick is a clitoral suction stimulator that – like the thousands of other toys in this category now on the market – uses a nozzle opening and rapid pulses of air to provide “touchless” stimulation to the clit. The toy’s body is made of hard plastic, and its nozzle is made of body-safe silicone.
This toy is rechargeable. A full charge (2 hours) gives you around 60 minutes of use on the top setting. It’s also IPX7 waterproof, i.e. submersible in water up to 1 metre for up to 30 minutes.
Things I Like About the ROMP Lipstick Suction Clitoris Stimulator
Before I start complaining about all the issues with the ROMP Lipstick Clitoral Suction Stimulator, let’s talk about the things I did like!
The look. In general, I’m “meh” about the concept of sex toys that are deliberately designed not to look like sex toys. But the aesthetic of this one is cute and fun enough that it gets away with it.
It’s small, light, and comfortable to hold.
The button placement is sensible (on the base of the toy) and the button itself is clicky and easy to press.
It has 7 evenly-graded power settings, which is reasonable for a toy at this price point.
It’s pretty quiet, especially when the nozzle is against the body.
That’s about it, I’m afraid.
Anything I Don’t Like?
Ugh. Where do I begin? I really wanted to love this product, because I was drawn to its bright colours and cute design. Unfortunately, I have far more negative than positive to say about the ROMP Lipstick suction clitoris stimulator. Namely…
The nozzle is too small! I don’t have a particularly large clit, but I couldn’t even get this thing to enclose it all. The nozzle opening is a tiny 1cm in diameter. If your clit is anything but quite small, I think you’ll struggle with this one.
The suction mechanism is – how do I put this nicely? – absolute crap. I didn’t get any of the lovely fluttering sensations that I get from good clit suction toys. Instead, it just felt like a particularly weak and buzzy vibrator.
The button isn’t always responsive. About 10-20% of the time, I have to press it twice to get the setting to change.
For a toy at this price-point, a one-button interface (meaning you have to scroll through all the settings to go backwards) really isn’t good enough.
It’s far too expensive. £49.99/$59.99 is a reasonable price for a mid-range toy, but feels like a rip-off for something as disappointing as this.
Worst of all is that I knew within two minutes that this thing was never going to get me off. Even with warm-up and some hot content to read, there was just absolutely no way. To be honest, even when I was turned on and my clitoris was sensitive and ready to go, the ROMP Lipstick suction stimulator didn’t even feel particularly good. If “did not give me an orgasm” is a damning statement to make about a sex toy, “did not even feel good” is pretty unforgiveable.
A final and possibly petty gripe: the packaging tells me I can “cancel my next booty call”. This is an immediate ugh from me because I do not think we should be comparing toys to human partners or framing them as replacements, even in jest. It’s also just ridiculously inaccurate considering the speed with which I threw this thing across the room and reached for something effective to finish the job.
Verdict
The ROMP Lipstick Clitoral Suction Stimulator is, all things considered, tremendously disappointing. Its nozzle is too small, its suction functionality is lacklustre, and there is simply no universe in which it will ever make me cum.
Sadly, I’m chalking this one up as overpriced and underwhelming. Especially because you can get far better clitoral suction toys for the same price (or even less!) Skip it.

One of the world’s most powerful bullet vibrators, not to mention one of the most popular, has had a makeover: the WeVibe Tango has become the Tango X, which can only mean it’s time for another WeVibe review.
WeVibe Tango X Bullet: What’s Changed?
There are a few notable differences between the WeVibe Tango X and the original Tango bullet. The X is slightly larger, measuring just under 10cm in from base to tip (the original is around 8.5cm.)
The new Tango X retains the signature lipstick-style tapered tip of the original, but features a silicone grip around the base. This makes it more comfortable to hold and means that your hand gets vibrated slightly less in use.
The Tango X has had a motor upgrade, taking this already super-powerful bullet vibe up to the next level. Its battery life has had a boost, too. You’ll now get around 2 hours runtime out of a 90 minute charge.
Finally—and this is a big deal—the controls have been upgraded. Instead of the original Tango’s one-button interface in the base of the toy, the Tango X features three buttons, allowing you to cycle between patterns and change speeds up and down with ease. The power buttons also feature a press-and-hold function, allowing you to choose exactly what level of power you want simply by holding the button down.
The WeVibe Tango X bullet offers 7 patterns and 8 intensity levels. It is waterproof, USB rechargeable, and has a travel lock. In the box, you’ll also find the charging cable, a sachet of WeVibe water-based lube, and a white silky storage bag. My Tango X is navy blue, but it’s also available in pink.
WeVibe Tango X Review: In Use
The small but mighty Tango has always been a great toy, and this new iteration continues that tradition. It is light (less than 40g!), the new handle makes it ergonomic and comfortable to hold, and it’s small enough to pop in your bag or pocket. The dream travel toy when you need to maximise space!
And those vibrations… wow.
This new edition Tango delivers in that department and then some. The vibrations are powerful as fuck. Not only that, they’re also rumbly as fuck. There’s no surface-level, numbing buzz here. It’s all powerful, intense rumbles that penetrate deep into the body. Think of it as like a deep tissue massage for your genitals.
The WeVibe Tango X is also surprisingly quiet, making it a great choice if discretion is a must for you. The new style buttons are a little smaller than I would ideally like, but intuitively located and easy enough to press.
Like the original Tango, the Tango X’s shape is dreamy. You can use the shaft for broader stimulation, or the tapered end for perfect, precision clit stim. It’s also small enough to slide between bodies during penetrative sex, if that’s your thing.
Honestly, I’m a simple creature when it comes to my sex toys. I want intense, rumbly power that is easy to use and gets me off. In that respect, the Tango X delivers and then some.
Verdict
An upgrade in every way! I often roll my eyes when toy companies release “new and improved” versions, adding features that no-one asked for and upping the price. But the WeVibe X is legitimately an improvement on an already great product.
It has everything you love about the original Tango, only with better controls, a more comfortable grip, and even more power.
Hot Octopuss originally rose to prominence with toys for penis owners, most notably the famed Pulse. The company’s newest offering, the Hot Octopuss Jett, landed in my review queue this week and Mr C&K was kind enough to help me test it for you all.
What Is the Hot Octopuss Jett?
The Hot Octopuss Jett is an interesting cock-ring/vibrator combo. Its main body is a three-part silicone sleeve: one hole is for the penis to go through, and the other two fit the Jett’s two removable bullet vibrators. The bullets are attached with wires to the remote control, which also houses the batteries.
On a person with a penis, the toy is designed to be worn against the frenulum, just below the tip of the penis. Like this:
Stunt cock: Godemiche Adam
The stretchy sleeve expands as the penis engorges, and the toy purports to deliver hands-free orgasms to penis owners. Not having the required anatomy, I cannot comment from personal experience. Other reviewsI’ve read, though, imply that this is a pretty accurate summary.
The Hot Octopuss Jett requires four A batteries, which are not included. It comes with a silky Hot Octopuss branded storage bag. Take the batteries out in between uses and they’ll last longer.
The Jett’s sling is made of body-safe silicone, and the bullets and remote are ABS plastic. The Jett bullets are not waterproof, so don’t submerge them in water and take care when cleaning the toy.
Hot Octopuss Jett Review: All About the Bass (and Treble)
So here’s the ridiculously cool thing about the Hot Octopuss Jett: the two bullets vibrate at different frequencies! In sex toy parlance, that means that one of the vibrators is super deep and rumbly, while the other is more surface-level and buzzy. Combined, they provide an intense, two-layered stimulation.
Each bullet has six intensity settings. Because you can control the speed of each bullet independently, you can adjust them until you find the combo that’s perfect for you. It’s basically two vibrators in one.
The buttons are large plus/minus symbols, easy to press and to feel without looking. Pro tip: before you start playing, take a second to work out which button is controlling which bullet. The last thing you want is to turn the wrong one down at a critical moment!
The Jett also has 10 vibration patterns you can scroll through using the small button in the middle of the remote.
Hot Octopuss Jett Review: In Use
There’s never just one way to use a sex toy. (I mean, sometimes there are zero ways that make any sense whatsoever, but I digress). Therefore, being the creative sex blogger that I am, I thought I’d set out to find ways to use the Hot Octopuss Jett as a vulva toy.
The most obvious use is to simply detach the bullets from the sleeve and use one or both of them as a clitoral vibrator. I tried this first, and fucking hell.
The rumbly bullet (that’s the “Bass” side) is packing some serious power. I’m not exaggerating when I say this is the most powerful and rumbly battery-powered toy I’ve ever tried. Many rechargeables cannot hold a candle to this. If you like power and rumbles, and don’t mind some slightly fiddly wires, look no further. The Hot Octopuss Jett brought me to orgasm in under 5 minutes, which is an extremely impressive feat for anything that isn’t a mains wand.
Naturally, I tried the buzzy side (the “Treble”) too. It wasn’t bad, as buzzy vibes go, but I’m just not really a fan in general. If you like more surface-level vibrations, though, it might suit you fine.
The other way for vulva owners to use this toy is to keep both bullets in the sleeve and press it against the clit. The advantage of doing it this way is that you can use the cock ring part as a little handle, or even slide two fingers through it and hold the toy in place that way.
This method was a success, too. The silicone dampens the intensity of the vibrations a little, but not too much. This is the best way to use this toy on a vulva if you want to make the most of the treble/bass combo and the combined power of both bullets.
One little complaint: one of the wires tends to come loose during use, causing one of the bullets to cut out. Luckily it’s the buzzier bullet that has this issue on my Jett, so I don’t care as much, but it’s still kinda annoying.
Verdict
I love the Hot Octopuss Jett. Yes, it’s designed with penises in mind, but it’s brilliant for vulvas too. New to sex toys and not sure if you like buzzy or rumbly vibes? The Jett is a great and relatively inexpensive way to try both and see what you prefer.
Sex toy kits are a fantastic idea in theory, but usually significantly less amazing in practice. Too often, they’re little more than a collection of cheap and poor-quality products shoved together in a pretty box and sold for a premium price. I’ll nearly always tell my readers to forego a kit and spend a bit more on just one or two quality items. However, I try to keep an open mind, which is why I agreed to review the Take Control Bondage Kit for beginners from Lovehoney.
Take Control: A Beginners’ Bondage Kit by Lovehoney
It’s been a very long time since I was new to BDSM. I’ve been doing kinky shit for well over a decade and have accrued a sizeable collection of toys, from basic staples to custom collars, premium impact toys, and more. So a beginner kit is not something I would ever buy for myself.
Therefore, I am trying to step back in time ten years or so in my mind, and view this BDSM starter kit through the eyes of someone who is just starting out, collecting their first beginner BDSM toys, or maybe wondering if they’re even kinky.
Lovehoney Take Control Bondage Kit: First Impressions
The Take Control Bondage Kit comes in one simple box, with all the products clearly displayed on the front so you know exactly what to expect. The packaging is brightly coloured and fun, reducing the intimidation factor for nervous new kinksters.
There’s a LOT of information on the box, too. I appreciate that Lovehoney has provided a brief description on how to use each item as well as some basic information on safety and consent. The box reminds players to use safewords, never leave a bound person alone, and have a non-verbal safe signal if someone is gagged. It’s pretty 101-level stuff, but that’s also what a complete newcomer to kink is likely to need. Top marks for that.
I wasn’t delighted with the way the box was packed. Everything was just sort of piled in, each item wrapped in a cellophane wrapper. It’s a lot of unnecessary single-use plastic.
There is no real leather in this kit, making it vegan-friendly.
What’s in the Lovehoney Take Control Bondage Kit?
With that said, I think this is overall a decent beginners’ bondage kit. Many BDSM starter kits and sex toy kits generally are filled with things that aren’t even safe, let alone of good quality.
Let’s take a look at what’s inside, shall we? Just for fun, I’ve included a fun tip or an idea to try with each item in the Take Control kit. As always, pick the ones that resonate for you, leave the rest, and add your own ideas as you explore.
1: Blindfold
This blindfold is super comfy. It’s also thick and padded, meaning I couldn’t see a thing when it was on. The band is stretchy, too, so it should fit most people comfortably.
Beginners’ bondage kit play idea: Blindfold your partner and stroke different items across their body – a silk scarf, a piece of velvet, the tails of your flogger – and have them guess what each item is.
2. Nipple suckers
I really liked these little suckers! They’re a great gentle introduction to nipple play, and perfect if you want some sensation but without the pain of nipple clamps or clothes pegs. They work for all chest sizes, from flat chests to large breasts, and most nipple sizes. If you flick or hit them too hard, they will fly off, but they can withstand some gentle manipulation.
Beginners’ bondage kit play idea: Tell your partner to fetch you something from another room with these on. They’ll have to move carefully, though – they’ll be spanked if one falls off!
3. Ball gag
Full disclosure: I hate ball gags. I fucking hate them. They make my jaw hurt, they make me drool, and I can’t kiss my partner when I’m wearing one. They’re basically a soft limit at this point. With that said, this is a fine ball-gag if you do like them. The holes make it breathable, and silicone is a non-porous and hygienic material. I also like how adjustable this gag is. With 9 buckle holes, it will fit most people comfortably.
Beginners’ bondage kit play idea: Make your submissive try to repeat words back to you while gagged.
4. Flogger
This is a stingy little fucker! Don’t let the small size fool you, this flogger can pack a wallop. The falls are made of thin rubber, which delivers a vicious sting when you put some force behind it. If pain isn’t your thing, you can drag it sensually across the skin for a gentle tickle. I would have liked the handle to have a bit more width and weight to it.
Beginners’ bondage kit play idea: Try gently flogging the vulva or penis if your partner is up for it. Remember to clean your flogger thoroughly afterwards to remove any bodily fluids.
5. Wrist and ankle cuffs
These were the weakest part of the Take Control kit by far, for me. They’re quite thin and made of nylon, with no padding, which means they chafe if you put any pressure on them. They’re fine for exploring the feeling of being restrained, but if you want to pull against them at all I recommend getting some quality BDSM cuffs.
Beginners’ bondage kit play idea: Restrain your partner then make them watch you masturbate in front of them.
6. Under-bed restraints
These are great, except for the tiny detail that they don’t fit my bed! We have a Super King bed and these restraints fit up to King Size. So they’ll be fine for the vast majority of people, but if you have a ridiculously giant bed like us, they may not fit.
These restraints are strong, durable, and easy to both set up and tuck out of sight when you’re done, if you want to. The little clips mean you can easily add any set of cuffs to them.
Beginners’ bondage kit play idea: when your partner is restrained, run a cube of ice along their body or drip low-temperature candle wax onto their skin.
7. Silicone suction cup dildo
Wow, a body-safe dildo in a BDSM kit! This shouldn’t be a pleasant surprise, and yet it is. This dildo measures 6″ in length and has a diameter of 1.5″. The slight curve is ideal for targeting the G-spot or prostate, and the silicone is super soft and silky. The suction cup and hollow space for a bullet vibrator are great additions.
Beginners’ bondage kit play idea: Tease your lover’s entrance with the dildo until they beg to have it inside them.
8. Strap-on harness
This is the same harness that Lovehoney sells as part of their basic strap-on sex/pegging kit a few years ago. It’s comfortable and the rings are interchangeable so you can use it with any dildo with a flared base. However, it’s a pretty basic harness and you’ll want to upgrade to a higher-quality harness if you find you enjoy strap-on play.
Beginners’ bondage kit play idea: If you have a vulva, insert a wearable vibrator before you put on your harness. This will stimulate you while you penetrate your partner.
9. Wired bullet vibrator
I was fully expecting this bullet vibrator to be awful. While it’s far from the strongest bullet vibrator in the world and it is a little buzzy, it’s not a bad basic bullet for the size and price. It has several patterns as well as steady vibration speeds.
I don’t love that it’s wired rather than cordless, but the wire is long enough for one partner to control the remote while the other holds the vibrator against their genitals. The bullet takes 2x AAA batteries, which are not included.
Beginners’ bondage kit play idea: Switch it off just when your lover is on the edge of orgasm and make them beg for release.
Lovehoney Take Control Beginners’ Bondage Kit: Verdict
On the whole, the Take Control Bondage Kit is a very solid basic beginners’ set for the price. If you’re brand new to exploring your kinks, you get a lot of bang for your buck here.

Recently I’ve been trying to test and recommend more affordable sex toys. Obviously I love the high-end products I’m lucky enough to try out, but those toys are simply out of budget for a lot of folks. Fortunately, you don’t need to spend a lot of cash to get a decent and body-safe toy. Silicone, glass, and hard plastic sex toys are coming down in price all the time. Today we’re looking at the Humdinger, a surprisingly well-designed and versatile plastic vibrator by Lovehoney that retails for just £24.99/$34.99.
Let’s ignore the silly name for a minute, shall we?
Image: Lovehoney
The Lovehoney Humdinger is a plastic clitoral vibrator with a cup-shaped tip on one side and a small, rigid nodule on the other. It measures 7.5″ in total length and about 1″ in diameter. I received an earlier iteration of this toy which was battery-operated, but Lovehoney has now upgraded the Humdinger to make it rechargeable. You’ll get around 50 minutes use from a full charge, which isn’t a great battery life.
The Humdinger is made of ABS plastic. Hard plastic sex toys are body-safe, non-porous, and easy to keep clean. This toy is also waterproof and submersible.
Lovehoney Humdinger: In-Use
The Humdinger has a simple one-button interface. While the rest of the vibrator is made of plastic, the button is silicone. While this is pretty standard, I have to say I preferred the old twist design, which allowed for finer control over the speed as well as dual-directional controls. It has 3 steady speeds and 7 patterns.
Image: Lovehoney
The best thing about the Humdinger for me, by far, is the shape of the tip. The cup design surrounds the entire clit, stimulating the glans, hood, and surrounding area. The nodule on the back is also great for more pinpoint stimulation. If you’re looking to experiment with different types of clitoral stimulation, the Humdinger is a surprisingly versatile toy for the price.
Power-wise, the Humdinger is mid-range in both intensity and rumbles. Plastic sex toys transmit vibrations particularly well, meaning you don’t get the “dampening” effect silicone can sometimes create. The downside is that it’s somewhat loud compared to many toys of a similar power level.
Humdinger Plastic Clitoral Vibrator: Verdict
The Humdinger is a good pick for folks looking for decent clitoral stimulation on a budget. The excellent shape, versatility, decent vibrations, and affordable price-point help to offset the annoying controls, loud motor, and mediocre battery life.
The Humdinger is available from Lovehoney UK and Lovehoney US. Use code AFF-COFFKINK10 to get 10% off your entire order.

As a lover of intense clitoral stimulation, I’ve wanted to test and review a Zumio X – the original Zumio product that started it all – ever since I first learned about them. It’s unlikely I’d ever have bought one at full price, though. They’re expensive and I had no idea if it would actually work for me.
Anyone who has been reading my work for any length of time knows that I am frequently annoyed by sex toy marketing claims. Zumio created some waves by claiming that this toy will make anyone with a clitoris orgasm in 60 seconds or less. Dangerous Lilly has covered in detail why this is problematic, so I don’t feel a need to go into it in depth. However, I will admit to really hoping the claims were accurate in my case.
Zumio X: Details
Image: Zumio
The Zumio X is an ultra-pinpoint clitoral stimulator. It looks a bit like a purple electric toothbrush, and has a very thin, plastic rod tip known as a SpiroTIP which “whirls around in tiny circles”. It’s designed to mimic the movement of a finger circling the clit, only… more, faster, and harder.
The Zumio X measures 7″ long and is made primarily of body-safe ABS plastic. It is IPX6 waterproof and rechargeable via a convenient little stand. First point in the “cons” column: charging this thing takes sixteen hours. Even with a pretty decent runtime of around 4 hours on a full charge (supposedly – more on that in a minute), that it still absolutely bonkers.
I’m normally very blasé about sex toy storage, but given how thin the Zumio X’s tip is, I’m a bit nervous about it getting broken in storage. You probably don’t want to throw this one in a drawer or box with a lot of other things. Other reviewers have noted that the Zumio is surprisingly fragile and easily damaged given the price point, so be careful with it.
Zumio X Review: In Use
The Zumio X is about as pinpoint as pinpoint stimulation can get. The tip is also very hard. It definitely does not feel even remotely like a finger. It feels like exactly what it is: a rigid little ball of plastic. I started off on the lowest setting, but quickly discovered the main problem with this toy: the hard plastic tip directly on my clit is intense to the point of painful.
I eventually solved the problem by using the toy through my underwear. This allowed me to enjoy the intensity but dampen it just enough to minimise overstimulation-induced pain. Though I managed to orgasm in this way (eventually), it’s a pretty major downside for me. I don’t usually want to have to keep my knickers on when I’m trying to get off.
Image: Zumio
Contrary to those lofty “orgasm in 60 seconds” claims, the Zumio is a slow-build toy for me. I pretty much have to stop and start a lot, or I start getting overstimulated and annoyed. I’m also not sure I like just how pinpoint it is. Though I enjoy direct clitoral stimulation, I also usually like at least something to be happening to the surrounding area as well. Wand vibrators, for example, stimulate the entire vulva and the internal clit, not just the visible bit on the surface.
It’s also almost impossible to apply any pressure to my vulva with the Zumio X. If I try to, the spinning motion either slows down or stops entirely. So if you’re someone who likes to press a toy against your body, look elsewhere.
Other Things to Be Aware Of
The user interface consists of three simple buttons, and the Zumio X has 8 constant speed settings. I did enjoy not having to contend with patterns. The button placement is a bit weird until you realise it’s more effective to hold the Zumio X as you’d hold a pencil.
Surprisingly (but pleasantly so), given this toy’s intensity, very little of its movement is transmitted through the handle. I suspect this is because the Zumio X doesn’t technically vibrate but oscillates.
Zumio X Review: Verdict
The Zumio X is a genuinely innovative toy and different to anything else currently on the market. For that, at least, I commend it. As a toy, though, I loved it far less than I thought I would.
I wouldn’t exactly say I don’t recommend the Zumio X. It’s more that I recommend it to a very specific subset of people. If you like extremely pinpoint clitoral stimulation, don’t get overstimulated easily, and enjoy intensity but don’t need pressure, the Zumio X might be for you.
You can buy the Zumio X from SheVibe, Good Vibes, or Babeland, where it currently retails for $110/£83.

Update 02/03/22: The We-Vibe Tango has been replaced by the new and improved Tango X and Tango 2 vibes. I normally remove obsolete reviews but I have left this We-Vibe Tango review up to show the evolution of this product.
Info & Details
Reviews of the We-Vibe Tango often say that it’s the strongest bullet vibrator currently on the market. The Tango is small, measuring only 3.5″ in length and about 0.75″ in diameter. It’s the standard “lipstick” bullet shape with a small flattened edge at the top leading to a point.
Image: We-Vibe
The We-Vibe Tango is USB rechargeable with a battery life of around 90 minutes, waterproof, and comes with a drawstring storage bag. It is made of ABS (hard) plastic and available in pink or blue.
We-Vibe Tango Review: In Use
I could just say “the We-Vibe Tango is a fucking great product” and leave it there. Because it is. But let’s get a little more in-depth.
This baby is seriously powerful and seriously rumbly. I particularly love how the plastic body of the toy enhances the rumbles and doesn’t dampen the power of the motor at all. (If this sounds like too much for you and you’d prefer your vibrations to be somewhat dampened by a layer of silicone, the We-Vibe Touch is a great option!)
The Tango is super light and tiny, fitting neatly in my hand. Its single button on the base is easy to press. The single-button interface is kind of annoying – you can only scroll through the settings one way, i.e. you can’t go back a step without flicking through them all first. However, the Tango does have a useful memory function: whichever setting you’re using when you switch the toy off, it will return to that same setting when you switch it back on. There are four constant speeds and four patterns.
This seems like a really petty gripe when this We-Vibe Tango review is so positive, but I need to say it: it bugs me that this toy is advertised as “for solo play.” I mean, sure, it’s definitely great for that. But it’s also great for use with a partner, or several. Just as literally any toy can be “for couples,” any toy can also be used for solo sex. Let’s not get prescriptive in how people use toys.
We-Vibe Tango Review: Verdict
I now understand why so many people rave about this toy. I cannot overstate how utterly excellent it is. It is certainly going to be my go-to for a small, light, travel-friendly and powerful as hell vibe.
The We-Vibe Tango retails for £54.99 at the time of writing. It’s definitely on the higher end of the price range for a bullet vibrator, but I think it’s worth it. It is so superior in quality to the overwhelming majority of superficially-similar toys on the market. It also comes with a one-year warranty.
I bought this toy for myself and did not receive anything in exchange for this We-Vibe Tango review. This post does contain affiliate links and if you buy through one, I make a small commission. All views are mine.
