My verdict
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.
Pros
Sonic vibrations are effective
Quality materials
Sleek, mature design
Waterproof, 2 hour battery life
Easy to use buttons
Cons
Curve of the handle feels a little sharp
Suction head is smaller than desired
Suction head is rigid

Design
The LELO sona in a woman's hand.

Lelo Sona’s design is phenomenal! It’s sleek and sexy. It’s a toy you want to use. Designed to use with generous amounts of lubricant, soft silicone compliments water-based lube well while working effectively without it. Although I totally recommend using lubricant, it heightens the experience.

The buttons have a really interesting design. They’re easy to find, which earns big points with me, but they work by holding them down and releasing them when the desired intensity is reached. It takes some time to get used to, but doesn’t feel too unnatural after a while.

The toy is also waterproof and ready for bath or shower play. However, Lelo doesn’t recommend using it in water because water negates your body’s natural lubricant. That decision is completely up to the user, though.

Experience
The LELO Sona's suction head.

At first, I was skeptical. I’ve used a lot of toys with this type of stimulation, and it’s rare for one to stand out. The best part of these toys, especially the Lelo, is they allow for edge play. Meaning you can bring yourself close to an orgasm and back off repeating this over and over to intensify your climax. Air pulsing stimulation is the best way to edge that I’ve found. You can get lost in time using the Lelo.

But there is one small issue I had. Personally, I would have preferred a larger suction head. Not because of the size of my body but because these smaller targeted heads tend to hammer away at small areas, leaving me overstimulated and chasing an orgasm. Rigid silicone around the head contributes to this, as they don’t allow those vibrations to ripple through them and stimulate the edges of your clit near the toy. This happened when I used the Sona. I had to take a break and come back to it a few minutes later to finish the job. That being said, the pulsations are fantastic and have a great range of intensity.

Overall, the toy performs better than most on the market. I would prefer either a slightly broader head or a more pliable silicone wall, but these aren’t deal breakers.

Quality

Quality materials, soft silicone, incredible technology and design, and thoughtful construction make this toy worth every penny you spend. I’ve had a hard time in the past finding toys that felt like a good quality. Sometimes you use them once or twice, and they don’t charge, the sound changes, or the buttons start to feel off—not with this toy. It feels durable in your hand.

Price

At $89, this toy is definitely in a higher tax bracket. It might not be the best beginner toy at this price, but I think it’s worth investing in.

Packaging

The best part of the packaging was the snakeskin texture of the box. The whole package screams sleek and sexy.

  • 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.

  • Utimi Restraining Thigh Straps: Sign me up!

    The Utimi Restaining Thigh Straps and blindfold are incredible. They’re made of comfortable materials and have adjustable straps, ensuring the right fit every time. Ultimately, they’re a pretty simple design without extra bells and whistles. To put it on, loosen the thigh straps. Then, slip both thighs into their respective loops, allowing the connecting strap to lay across your lap. With the straps still loose, wrap the padded neck strap around the back of your neck and begin tightening the buckles. That’s it. It looks way more intimidating than it is. My partner and I had a lot of fun playing with this setup. The blindfold is soft, imitation silk that feels nice on your eyes. You have a range of position options to try, and despite being bound together, you can still move or be guided between them. Overall, this bondage device is dominating and comfortable.

    A Tricky Start, But Oh My God: The Lovehoney Indulge G-Spot and Clitoral Suction Stimulator

    "Once you get both parts in the right position… *Oh my god*." The Lovehoney Indulge is a dual stimulator combining the viral “pleasure air technology” from the beloved Rose (of the same brand) with an insertable G-spot vibrator. The promise of dual stimulation sounded incredible, but getting it to work as advertised was a bit of a learning curve. Once you find the right angles and positions, though, it delivers an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for something that delivers strong, consistent suction from the get-go, this toy may not fully meet your expectations, especially if you’re a fan of more intense clitoral stimulation like the Rose. For the sale price, it’s worth a try—just make sure you have plenty of lube and patience on hand!

    The satisfyer pro 2. A new rival for my magic wand

    Sometimes toys having a widespread phase of popularity is well deserved. I’m pleasantly surprised by this product as it was not at all something I normally go for. I’ve explored fairly minimally with toys or sexual aids in general but I thought I had found my niche right off the bat. This once definitely makes me think I have a long way still to go since it has become a regular in my rotation. I’ve always prided myself on being adventurous and open mixed especially when it comes to my sex life, and that practice has served me well. Trying out a new style of toy is something I’ve recently committed to doing more regularly. Vibrators are my scene. I’ve been using them and make shifting home made ones since my adolescence. They’re popular and timeless because of their efficiency but I’d never thought of a new sub genre so to speak since the viral craze of the rose toy. Every social media influcer, celebrity (and every other vagina owner I’m sure) at least had exposure to is not curiosity. A tik tok ad was the first time I had seen it and even known that suction toys were both already a thing, and had a reputation of being very intense. I was confused as to the suction aspect of the product and was curious enough to want to try it for myself. In comes the satisfyer pro 2. The other reviews on it seemed to favor that same idea. Intense sensory, small and easy enough to maintain and use, and mind blowing orgasms. What more could a girl ask for? Overall this product was a nice intro into different styles of clitoral toys for me.

    Junibell the Clitoral Kissing Rabbit Vibrator- An intense AND affordable toy

    This is a really fun toy! It is very quiet but powerful. The design is wacky looking but it works really well. The curve of the toy has it hit the g spot perfectly, and the toy can be used well hands free or with thrusting which is a bonus. Because of its shape, it does take a few minutes to get used to a different thrusting motion, but it is well worth it. While both motors are strong, the vaginal vibrator is more rumbly, which works quite well to help differentiate the sensations when both vibrators are on at the same time. Plus, rumbly vibrations are generally more pleasurable anyways! The vibrations are so good that it is difficult to hold on long enough "build up" to orgasm. Because of this, this toy may not be for those who like less stimulating or intense vibrators. For those who don’t mind an intense ride, this toy is perfect! In terms of cons, the toy lasts on the lower end of what is advertised at around 60 minutes with both motors running. At least once I could have sworn that it lasted closer to 45 minutes, so bear that in mind.
