- Pros
- Will remember the last settings you had it on so you can keep going next time you pick it up!
- IPX7 Babeh! Enjoy a lovely bath time or sexy shower massage! No worries when it comes to cleaning!
- Features 20 patterns and 8 intensities for a more catered massage or pleasurable experience!
- Feels good as a general massager, but is a bit awkward to hold and use as one in some places.
- Cons
- Penetration friendly, but a bit too big for my personal preference. Bigger isn't always better.
- Easy to bump power button, careful not to accidentally turn it off while in the middle of enjoying!!

As a general massager, I have to say the Shibari Mini Halo feels quite nice, but if I had to chose a toy that doubled as a personal massager and pleasure stimulator it would be the Ava Evo. If I had to go with just a clitoral stimulator, I would go with something smaller and more personal.
I like the wide variety of settings and the overall ease of use. I love that it remembers the settings I had it on the last time it was in use, as I've found that it's another toy with an easy to bump power button. I don't know about you but I don't want to sit and cycle through all of my settings again when I was just getting to the good part but accidentally bumped it off. The lowest intensity is still a pretty damn good one in regards to clitoral stimulation as it's almost too intense to start out with in my case.
Though I understand it's somewhat of a power saving move to do it, I find that I'm weirdly not a fan of the LEDs blinking in time with the patterns, I find it unnecessary.

Shibari packaging is simple and sweet with a modern monochrome chic style and Mandala artwork. Two chrome sides depict the name in large text; the front in white shows a picture of the toy with the name above it and a Mandala pattern circling behind it; and the white back panel shares 7 points of useful information about the product.
This package feels like a step between Romp Lipstick and Satisfyer Mission Control. Romp is able to blend in with other products quite easily at first glance which creates an easier atmosphere around the concept of walking up to a counter to purchase it. Satisfyer has a bit of more of an erotic nature to its packaging, though subtle, for me personally I would still be hesitant to walk up to a counter with it. Shibari has no erotic nature about its packaging like the Satisfyer, but the product itself at first glance isn't as subtle as Romp... I do feel I could almost get away with claiming it's just an ordinary massager if caught with even though it's a sensual one.

Inside the package: The product itself, a discreet black carrying bag, a charging cable, an instruction manual, a warranty pamphlet, and a warranty card.
I like the carrying bag that came with this product far more than the one that came with the Ava Fliq and Ava Lolli. This one may not be as nice as the satin one that comes with Swan Wand but it's still pretty good quality!
I love the added touch of a smiley face at the end of the Warranty Card's description. It makes the company feel friendly and easy to approach.
The Shibari Mini Halo boasts 20 pulsations, 8 speeds and an hour and half run time.
As someone that usually sticks to consistent vibration settings, it's nice to have the option for 8 intensity levels on one pattern that is a consistent vibration. I love having the other 19 settings as a potential option to expand to if I ever feel exploratory or get bored of the same old thing.
The lowest settings are still pretty powerful and more than capable of getting the job done which is awesome! Not only would it last longer running on the lowest settings, but it means there's even more mind blowing power behind the other 7 levels.

Size - Swan Era Wand Wins!
- Shibari Mini Halo - 7.8 inches long, decent travel companion
- Swan Era Wand - Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide.
Vibration Settings - Shibari Mini Halo Wins! - More variety
- Shibari Mini Halo - 20 vibration patterns with 8 intensities
- Swan Era Wand - Guesstimate of 25 settings, powerful, feels great, and isn't obnoxious when on highest setting and laid down.
Penetration Ability - Swan Era Wand Wins! - Personal Preference, bigger isn't always better
- Shibari Mini Halo - Penetration friendly but a bit bigger of a head than its competitor
- Swan Era Wand - Small stature allows for easy and enjoyable penetration
Ease of Use Regarding Vibration Settings - Shibari Mini Halo Wins!
- Shibari Mini Halo - 3 button operation. One button dedicated to power, one button to cycle through patterns and the third button to cycle through intensities.
- Swan Era Wand - Single button operation makes finding the right vibration setting a bit cumbersome since it's a hold to increment, caps at the top and needs turned off to reset from the start style use.
Ease of Use General Sense - Shibari Mini Halo Wins!
- Shibari Mini Halo - Easy to use/operate, easy to handle, penetration friendly, size seems more appropriate for a normal personal massager, nice variety of settings.
- Swan Era Wand - Small vibration head that is more focused, easy to handle, and penetration friendly with full vibrational feel.
Overall Winner by Personal Preference - Unsure.
I want the compact size of the Swan Era Wand with the features of the Shibari Mini Halo. I find that I like small, easy to hide/travel with companions that have a wide selection of easy to access features.
