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

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.

  • Bgood Classic Vibrator: Gotta Love a Classic

    Whoa. That baby purrs. I don’t know what screw is loose or if it’s a genius classic design, but the vibrations from Bgood Classic purr. That’s the only word for it. It feels almost like there's space between the motor and the walls of the toy, letting the vibrations reverberate through. It makes the vibrations feel deep and sensual. Not to mention, this toy has horsepower. Bgood was not playing around when they made this toy. My only critique would be that I wish it was easier to turn off and that the materials were slightly higher quality. It’s a little on the loud side, which I don’t mind–I live alone, so it’s fine. But it’s strong and loud, and when you’re done, it’s not fun to fumble around. If the materials were higher quality, it might feel more luxurious and have a longer battery life. It has five vibration settings, though the lowest intensity is still pretty strong. Overall, it’s a lot of fun.

  • Iroha Stick: Kitschy but Effective

    The Iroha Stick has a shocking amount of power and is cleverly designed. But it’s too gimmicky for my taste. Overall, it’s a simple mini bullet vibrator designed to look like lipstick. I don’t think it’s fooling anyone, although if someone found it in my bag, it might take them a moment to realize. The head of the stick is angled like lipstick but has a small fork like a snake's tongue at its end. The angle and fork really elevate the toy as a whole. The Stick packs a punch, it can ramp up quite a bit. I’d say the equivalent of a three or a four on a regular-sized toy. It is battery powered and claims to be waterproof–I’ll get into that later in the review. For what it is, a lipstick vibrator, it’s great. We all have our own kitsch thing that will always get our attention. Lipstick vibrators aren’t mine, so I wouldn’t go out of my way to get this one again. However, it would be a fun gift for a bachelorette party or something similar!

  • Iroha Koharu Beni: Cute but Boring

    The Iroha Koharu Beni is nothing special. It’s your average battery powered vibrator. There’s nothing about it that stands out to me as noteworthy. It’s decently powerful, which is always nice. The shape is interesting, I haven’t seen something exactly like it before. But that’s the problem, really. I’ve seen a lot of vibrators similar to this, some of which stood out for their design, comfort, or quality, but the Koharu Beni is just okay. It’s one saving grace is it’s flexible head, though it isn’t as elastic as a flexible head should be. It’ll get the job done, but when you’re looking for a vibrator, you want to get something indulgent and luxurious. You want freshly baked sourdough that crunches on the outside and is soft on the inside. You don’t want store brand white bread. This baby pink, battery-powered stick vibrator is the store brand white bread of vibrators.

  • Ava VIVVO Massage Wand: Impatient Need Not Apply

    If I wanted to speak Morse Code, I’d buy a Ham radio, not a vibrator. Don’t get me wrong, this is a beautifully designed, high-quality vibrating wand. However, I have a very specific personal issue with this toy. The wand has 20 patterns, and while I appreciate that each pattern is nuanced and probably appeals to users who have been looking for that specific “dot dot dash” vibration, I could have done without 18 of them. For me, the first and eighteenth vibration patterns are the ones I want. And I’d love to be able to start with one, go to the other, and go back and forth until I’m tired. But I can’t do that with the Ava VIVVO Wand because I have to cycle through all the patterns to find the right one. And because they’re all so similar, I easily miss the one I’m looking for and have to cycle through all 20 again. This probably sounds so petty, but when you need that little shift in vibration, you don’t want to click through 17 that are just “meh.” I think this part of the design is bothersome enough to ruin the toy entirely.

    Venice Vixen Review: Baby Why Don't We Go Down to KoKomo ♪

    Gotta get the usual puns/jokes and comments out of the way... Ready to get down and dirty in the sand?! Talk about fun in the sun! Sex on the beach anyone? Okay, got that out of my system... CalExotics Venice Vixen is my favorite "all in one" toy by CalExotics thus far as it's internally and externally stimulating at the same time. Compared to the Jack Rabbit it feels better built and high quality, with a different and personally more preferred shaft shape. The best thing about the Jack Rabbit was the ears, which in all honest I prefer to have over the encaser the Venice Vixen has to offer as they are just... more invigorating. Incase you're wondering and want an easy summation of features, the CalExotics Venice Vixen has 10 clitoral encaser modes, 3 shaft intensities, a use time of 45 min on high and 150 on low, a charge time of 150 mins, and though no IPX rating is officially provided it claims it's waterproof.

    CalExotics French Kiss Review: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? ♪

    This lip-locking sensual sucker is the best kisser in town! To semi quote Diageo from Silicon Valley... "This toy fuuucks!" *mind blown emoji lol* CalExotics French Kiss is hands down my favorite CalExotics toy thus far! My favorite part of the CalExotics' Jack Rabbit was the ticklishly tantalizing ears, and that's now been combined with the sucking sensation I've "come" to enjoy from toys like the Satisfyer Mission Control and Romp Lipstick... Merci for the toy I never knew I was missing out on lol. This beautiful toy has the poise of the INYA Rose but is bit better in several ways. It has 12 totally fuckable functions, two interchangeable heads, a travel lock setting, a memory chip and can be submersed in water... Can you say... "Ooo la la!" xD

    Lovense Tenera 2: A Soothing Clit Suction Experience

    The Lovense Tenera 2 is a toy that's like that one friend who's almost perfect, but not quite. Don't get me wrong, I loved the adorable gradient - "It's so PRETTY!" were the first words I heard! And the ergonomic design? Top-notch. The suction was on the weaker side though and the preset increments did not increase it by much (using the app is different of course as you can go from 0-10 in one push of a button). However, that is exactly what she likes as she's super sensitive and some toys are just too powerful from the get-go. It feels as though the color scheme, the light weight of the toy, the quietness and the suction levels all blend together to be soothing. Not a "wild fuck" as they say, but more like a gently kiss. If you need strong suctions though, then avoid this toy. Another reason to avoid is if you do not want/need to use apps to use your toys. I personally like to use toys without apps. After all, who likes a lube covered phone? Not me, that's for sure... That being said, the app controls are a nice touch IF you are into that kind of thing and they work for long distance play too, which is cool. Just BTW, the self-cleaning feature is genius! All in all, the Tenera 2 is a solid toy if you're into more low-key vibes and don't mind a toy that's a bit more... laid-back, then this might be the one for you. But if you're a power-sucker, you might want to keep looking. Oh, and one more thing: the price. Ouch. It's like they're charging us per rainbow color. Worth it for those that would use all the app features, maybe, but for me? Not so much.

    Fleshlight Cyborg Review

    The Fleshlight Cyborg really surprised me in all the right ways. Its unique design, with that ribbed lip on the head and the mechanical details, it creates sensations I haven’t felt with other toys. Despite its firm silicone and slightly thick head, the tapered shape made insertion smooth, needing just a little lube. Whether I took it slow or went for a more intense pace, it delivered consistent pleasure without causing discomfort. It’s not just visually appealing; it’s functional and definitely adds something new to the experience. ​What stood out most was the texture and depth. The six inches of usable length are easy to reach, and the shifts in girth made for a more dynamic feeling The ribbed head was especially noticeable upon entry, like a washboard of sensation in the best way possible. Each part of the Cyborg felt carefully designed to maximize stimulation, making it an exciting, standout addition to my collection.

    Sohimi Vortex P: Speechless or Screaming?

    Sohimi’s Vortex P three spot stimulator toy is a beautiful, silky-skinned toy that left all of it’s users breathless and steeped in bliss. This toy is one of the most eager to serve toys I’ve seen in my time. The toy is quiet enough to be polite, and fits snugly inside, especially with the wide variety of vibration and licking settings (5 licking modes, 5 g-spot pulses, and 10 types of buzzings). I’ve seen many toys boast about having hundreds of settings, but at the end of the day quality always kneels beneath quality. The numbers are in the perfect sweet spot between variety and utility. In fact, even to the vibrating, dumb, and warm body it’s ease of use still isn’t lost to the pleasure it brings. The Vortex P is also a refreshing piece of fresh air to someone who needs more attention and care to actually enjoy myself- the toy’s functions not only change speed, but pattern and intensity rather than the standard increase in speed with constant pressure (pulse number four on the g-spot is one of my favorites). Despite how polite and loyal the Vortex P is, she does have her faults. She is advertised to work long distance, and intrigued, my and my boyfriend tried it out while I was out of the state. Despite doing every single thing we could, the toy wouldn’t connect. This was a major drawback for us, especially since we used to be more long distance. If remote control is the main reason you would like the Vortex P, I would advice against it. Not only this, but if working on all fronts, she lasts 15 minutes at most, and dies without warning. We have had this dim a few movements, but luckily the toy’s flexibility and comfortable fit makes a good fit for a reliable dildo instead. Although it is more fit for solo play, I have found that using it on someone else as a dildo can be an endless source of fun because of how sensitive the buttons are, but I can understand how that could be a downside for others.
