My verdict
I want to love the Irohna Zen Matcha so much that it’s hard to come to a verdict. There is a lot to love. The top is super plush, soft silicone that molds to your body and conducts vibrations better than tightly wrapped silicone. Its ridges are a perfect added element of texture, spicing up your session. Plus, those ridges, the bulbous shape, and the color all reference a matcha wand–truly, it’s a toy after my own heart. It’s even my favorite color! The biggest thing it’s missing is one or two more notches of power. The Matcha has 3 intensity settings and one extra pattern, so it goes low, medium, high, then pattern. It toes the line, but it’s missing that knockout punch. It’s also a battery operated vibrator, which is not the end of the world, but rechargeable vibrators are really convenient. Ultimately, it’s a lovely toy. But it just doesn’t have the power you need.
Pros
Plush silicone head
Ribbed edges
Simple to use, very beginner-friendly
Fully Waterproof
Cons
The vibrations are just not strong enough
Not rechargeable

Iroha Zen Matcha Silicone Waterproof Mini Vibrator - Green
Design

The design of this toy fully has my heart. I love matcha anything, as lame as that sounds. I also adore it when toys are a more natural color, so the light, earthy green of the Matcha is perfect for me. It’s designed to fit nicely in your hand before the end of the toy bows out into the head. The body and head of the toy are ribbed, adding dimension and texture. The soft pillow silicone on the top of the toy is beyond lovely. I’ve only seen this on one other toy and can’t get enough. It’s so soft to the touch that it feels almost life-like, and it molds around your body, softly delivering vibrations. There’s one button on the bottom of the toy that controls all functions, very easy to use. To insert the batteries, unscrew the black cap (where the button is) and pop them in. Pay attention when putting the batteries in. There are small indicators showing positive and negative that are easy to miss. At first, I thought the toy wasn’t working until I found these and fixed the batteries.

Experience

Once I sorted out the batteries and got the toy working, I zoomed through the intensity settings to see what each felt like. That’s when I noticed the lack of power. Everything about the design of the toy sets it up for success, but you can’t fake intensity. At first, I thought it must be me, I really like a powerful toy. But after seeing other reviews on Iroha’s website, I saw that across the board people are asking for more power. Its maximum intensity is around a two on a standard vibrator. It’s a lovely toy to use with a partner. It’s rather easy to use in any position and adds a little spice to a partner session. Personally, though, it just wasn’t enough. As much as I wanted to love this toy, it just didn’t do it for me.

Quality

This toy feels as high quality as pillow soft silicone toy can. It’s a well-crafted toy, especially compared to the battery-powered toys I’ve seen. The give on the soft silicone head, I feel, is misleading when determining quality, only because I’m so used to smooth but hard-to-the-touch silicone on toys. Part of me was surprised this toy is waterproof; it doesn’t feel like it should be, but so far, it holds up. Iroha claims this is dust-free silicone. I’ve never encountered that before but I also haven’t seen my toys get dusty. Its run-time, at full power, with two fresh batteries, is 4 hours–which is really disappointing when you typically use rechargeable toys. Instead of plugging the toy in, you have to get batteries.

Price

For $39, this is a fine purchase so long as you don’t need a powerful vibrator. If you usually use your vibrator at the lowest setting anyway, I think the soft head and ribbed body make it a good buy. It’s lacking in quality, though, for the price.

Performance

Iroha Zen Matcha’s biggest downfall is its lack of power. There’s no way around it. Design features and simple functions are great, and I love the choices Iroha made her, but you’ve gotta give me at least 2 more notches of intensity if you want my recommendation. I was so excited about a Matcha toy, but it just fell flat.

Packaging

The toy comes in a sweet, hexagonal box that resembles packaging for a matcha wand or specialty tea. It’s beautifully designed but not very discreet, with a photo of the toy on its front. Inside are two batteries, and instructions are printed on the back of the box.

Materials and care

With the ribs, be sure to clean thoroughly, as it’s easy to miss things in the grooves. The toy is waterproof and easy to clean. Just make sure the battery port is fully sealed.

  • Svakom Coco Vibrator: J’adore!

    Up top: this toy is fantastic! Every toy I see from Svakom surprises me. It’s so easy to judge their books by the cover, but their unusual design choices make complete sense as soon as you use the toys. The Coco vibrator by Svakom is no different. It’s a mix of a wand and a large bullet vibrator but is designed for G-spot stimulation, creating this unexpected hybrid toy you can’t quite put your finger on. I've never seen a vibrator like this. Usually, when toy companies get creative, they miss the mark, but this one got it so right. The head is the same size as a typical large bullet vibrator, while the neck resembles a wand. It's shaped like a bent finger, with its flexible head angling outward. The Coco works wonders internally and externally. Plus, it’s actually quiet, not like other toys that promise discretion. Its power is surprising, considering how compact it is. Its five vibration modes are satisfying and effective. It may just be a personal pet peeve, though I’d find that hard to believe: a toy loses my interest when its vibration patterns miss the mark. This toy delivers across the board.

  • Oliver James Large Wand Massager: Holy Moly

    I don’t usually get aroused immediately by a toy, but the Oliver James Large Wand Massager got me going right away. The large wand is large, nearly a foot long, making it oddly so comfortable to use. At first, I thought it looked a little gimmicky. It’s long, the handle is coated in shiny plastic, and it’s just so big it’s almost cartoonish. However, the neck is flexible, the silicone on the head is divine, and the vibrations are so strong I could feel them through my pants. The longer, curved handle on this model allows you to hold with your palm facing any direction, making the device super easy on your wrist - which is usually the first point of discomfort for me. I also found it super easy to use, from the buttons to the toy's ability to massage such a large area. I also used it to massage out shin splints and tight calves from running - something I’ve never considered doing - but it totally worked. This is truly a full-body massager.

  • Our Erotic Journey Zodiac Mini Vibe Review

    The Cancer Mini Vibe, and the whole Zodiac Collection from Our Erotic Journey, is an absolute vibe. You’re supposed to order the toy that aligns with your zodiac sign. Each is different, palm-sized, and based on the symbol of that zodiac. My verdict as a sex toy: it’s cute, and I felt adorable using it. Overall, it’s a really fun alternative to your standard bullet vibrator, but it is basically just a cute bullet vibrator. The toy has 10 vibration modes, is around 2.5” wide, and is shaped like a little cartoon crab. My verdict on the toy’s vibe: brilliant! The box is designed to look like a tarot card deck, and included with the toy is a crisply designed card describing your zodiac’s sexual style and compatibility. The packaging of this toy and its presentation made me enjoy it more. Because it has such a vibe, it stands out. The legs and eyes of the crab add dimension to the toy, making it much more interesting than similar vibrators.

  • Lelo Sona: Sleek and Sexy

    Wow! The Lelo Sona Sonic Clitoral Massager is a gorgeous toy—it comes in a range of colors, though my favorite is black with gold trim and a beautiful curve accented by glimmering metal and sleek silicone. The buttons are interestingly on the bottom of the toy but made accessible by the gracious curve of its handle. The intensity changes by holding the button down while the toy automatically increases or decreases strength, an odd feature, but I got used to it very quickly. The air pulsing technology is smooth and well-contained within the rim of the suction head. My only complaint is that the head is on the smaller side. This only means that the toy is targeted, giving you more precision in your pleasure. The packing and presentation of the toy feel sexy. It’s like being handed a VIP invitation. There’s something mysterious and sleek about it. Overall, this is a fantastic toy, delivers incredible orgasms, and looks good while doing it.

    Svakom Beatrice: The Most Surprising Toy Ever

    At first glance, the Beatrice by Svakom looks like a dental instrument. I had to read the manual to figure out how to use it, but once I figured it out, I fell in love. It’s a dual head toy, meaning either end can be inserted, they both vibrate, and it provides g-spot and clitoral stimulation. The curved metal end has my heart on a string, it’s the most targeted g-spot stimulation I’ve experienced. It comes with two attachable silicone heads, each with a different shape. The Beatrice sort of turns into a rabbit-like toy, the attachable features have small silicone ears attached to them that conduct vibrations and provide clitoral stimulation. The baby moves, the vibrations are strong, and the little ears on each of the attachments move with it. I was so surprised when I first used the Beatrice. I had no expectations, I figured it was just some gimmicky toy, but oh my goodness, was I wrong.

    The Era Swan Wand: My New Buddy

    The Era Swan Wand is my new go-to travel companion. I always take a vibrator with me on trips. I look for something compact with a travel lock that will keep me entertained on work trips or vacations. The Swan Era will do just that. This wand is small but mighty, providing shockingly intense vibrations. It’s comfortable to use and has a flexible next and smooth head that stimulates with ease. The toy has only one button to turn it on or off and change the mode. The motor glides upward in intensity as you hold the button down, though to decrease vibration strength, the device needs to be turned off and then back on. The Era Swan Wand comes with a soft, white storage bag that holds its charger and user manual. Ultimately, because of the power behind this motor, I think this is a great second toy—unless you’re specifically in the market for a powerhouse.

    Kiss and Tell with the Iroha Lipstick Vibe

    Tenga did not disappoint with this one, with a design that grabs your attention and a build that feels practical and sturdy. This vibrator falls in the mini vibrator niche, fitting perfectly in the palm of your hand but offering way more to hold on to than other vibes in its category. It looks like a rolled-up lipstick with a pointed soft tip featuring a little slit (which I love) for direct clit stimulation. It comes with a build-up vibration setting that starts slow and goes up to mid-range buzzy intensity with a twist of the base (like winding up a real lipstick). The vibration intensity from lower to higher settings can be felt quite deep, but think more leg-stretching than toe-curling. It can be used solo or during partner play and has a good grip on it. The base dial can be screwed off to replace the battery when it runs out. The battery is kind of a downside; this vibrator ticks all the boxes of premium, but the battery limits use (it can be replaced, but who likes popping in batteries every session or two?). I took it into the shower and had no issues with play, so it’s definitely waterproof, but I don’t think full-on submerging in the bath would be a good idea unless it’s very shallow. All in all, it’s a quick, compact vibrator that gets the job done and deserves a space in your bedside table or handbag.

    The WeVibe Touch X is a powerful, versatile vibrator designed for pinpointed and broad stimulation. Its soft silicone, waterproof design, and customizable intensity levels make it a great choice for solo or couple's play. While its strong vibrations can cause some hand numbness, its compact, ergonomic shape makes it easy to use and effective for full-body or erogenous zone massages.

    Satisfyer Wand-er Woman – The Wand That Gave Us Trust Issues 😅

    Big Toy, Big Promises, Big Letdowns? When we first got our hands on the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman, we were curious. A powerful, extra-large wand massager that promises deep, rumbly vibrations, full-body relaxation, and earth-shattering orgasms? Sounds like a dream. Plus, it’s waterproof, has 50 vibration combinations, and comes with a 10-year warranty - what could go wrong? Well… quite a bit. At first glance, it looks sleek, luxurious, and ready to bring some serious intensity. But after multiple rounds of testing (and even a few replacements), we quickly realized that this wand comes with some serious drawbacks. Whether it's the awkward size, unreliable motor, or frustrating battery life, this toy had us feeling more annoyed than satisfied. But hey, let’s dive into the details. 😉

    Tracy's Dog Hammer Wand: Rumbly Orgasms at a Reasonable Price Point

    The Tracy's Dog (I still can't figure out how they came up with this name for a adult toy brand, but anyway....) Hammer Wand is a powerhouse of a massager that will leave a lasting impression on any user. "I can see why people like these!" were the first words after we first used the toy. It has a robust, premium design with neat gold accents and potent vibrations that are perfect for those who crave intense stimulation. The large head on the toy does not provide pinpoint clit stimulation, but rather deep vibrations over the whole flower which may not be what is needed for some but if you are generally sensitive to direct clit stimulation, this would be something that you would love. This toy is NOT the most discreet or travel-friendly option (≈2x2x11.5in), its exceptional performance make it a worthwhile purchase (that surprisingly will not break the bank) for anyone seeking a reliable and effective massager. One thing that does bother me be was the buttons, they can be hard to find in the moment
