My verdict
The We-Vibe Jibe isn’t a bad toy by any means, but it works best as an accompaniment rather than the main course. At an RRP of $130, it’s also quite a pricey option, even if it does offer rumblier vibes than the competition. If you don’t know how you feel about internal vibrations, that’s a lot to spend on a punt to find out.
- Pros
- Could be fun to play in public.
- Quiet, and comfortable to wear all day.
- Rumbly internal vibrations will tease you endlessly.
- Cons
- … but won’t make you orgasm.
- Pricey.
- Can be awkward to pair with the app and constant connectivity issues.

About the product
The We-Vibe Jibe is an internal vibrator that promises a feeling of fullness and intense stimulation for your G-spot. Whether it achieves that on any functional level is debatable. Constant connectivity issues with the app and muted sensations mean it’s a lot to pay for a toy that won’t necessarily get you off.
WARNING: the We-Vibe Jibe is not suitable for anal use, because there’s a very good possibility it’ll get completely sucked in, and you’ll end up with something stuck up your bum. This is strictly a vaginal-only toy. You should only use toys with a flared base anally—or toys that are so big there's no chance they’ll be pulled in!
Included in the box is a sample pack of lube, the proprietary charging cable, and a simple drawstring storage case.

What Does the We-Vibe Jive Do?
The Jive offers strictly internal vibrations only. That little tail you see hanging outside is for toy retrieval, charging, and as a Bluetooth antenna only. It doesn’t slide up against your clit and offer any sort of external vibrations. As a “love egg”, it sits inside you, and doesn’t require you to hold it in place (though you might enjoy clamping down on it). It’s a truly hands-free toy, and can be used while out and about in public without fear of getting funny looks.
The Jive connects to the WeVibe app, which offers remote play potential for those with a partner across the world in a long-distance relationship, or just across the table from them.
It offers fairly deep and rumbly vibrations, which feel good—but may not be enough to get you off since they’re internal only. And when we compared to a cheap mini-wand, the vibes from the We-Vibe came out mediocre, at best. The shallower the ripples, the less powerful it is. Anything that causes water to splash is usually a winner, in our boo. The We-Vibe Jive did not make any splashes.
The short video only shows the Jive on its highest level, but it also has a good range of power, so if you do find it too stimulating, you can tone it down a lot to something more comfortable. There are four basic power modes and six patterns accessible from the single button situated on the tail.
The rounded main body is about 3 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, so it's easy to insert and barely noticeable when it's there. The tail adds another 4 inches, which stays on the outside. It’s pastel blue and made of body-safe smooth silicone, though there’s absolutely no squish to it.
Also on the end of the tail are the charging pins for the magnetic cable. A slow blue fading LED indicates it's charging.
How Does It Feel?
The We-Vibe Jive is not going to be the main course. It’s not even a starter. It’s more like a side dish to your starter. A bread roll, perhaps. Maybe even just the little knob of nicely-wrapped butter for your bread roll. But I think we’ve taken this analogy as far as it can go, so let’s just say: there's no chance you’ll cum from this alone. I don't usually like to speak in such absolute terms, but, just … no. Nor can it be worn during penetrative sex. That's not to say it doesn't offer anything of value to enhance your experience in other ways, but it's an accompaniment at best.
On the plus side, you can wear it throughout the day or while sitting down without discomfort, and no one would be able to hear it unless they had their ear to your crotch, in which case you have other problems.
We found the best use case was either while receiving oral or with some other external stimulation. I really wanted to add “as a discreet vibrator to use while out and about” to that list, but its tendency to lose connection makes that a bit of a fail too, at least when playing with a partner. You’ll have better luck if you hand over control of the toy completely and not attempt to have your partner join a remote session—just pair the toy directly to their phone. But even then, we found the phone had to be within about 50cm when under clothing, so your partner would need to sit extremely close to you or be adept at manipulating the phone screen blindly with one hand under a table.
When it does connect, the app offers some compelling features, and while it took a few attempts to pair, it is more fun than fiddling with the single button on the device that cycles through power levels and patterns. In addition to touch controls for intensity and a pattern mode (where you can adjust intensity and the type of pattern on a graphic display), you'll also find music beat-matching and ambient audio reactive modes. This would all be amazing if the Bluetooth was better.
I suppose you could use it for external stimulation as well, in a pinch, but unless this is your only toy, you probably have something more appropriate.
While many have praised the high power and rumbly vibes, it’s subjective. My wife found it mildly pleasurable, like sitting on a vibrating chair, but even on full power, it wasn’t enough to stop her in her tracks or beg for me to turn it off. That’s not because it was too buzzy—the vibrations are rumbly enough—but because it just didn’t do much for her. But again, I’ll emphasize that subjective thing: your experience may vary, and if you already know that you enjoy rumbly internal vibes, I suspect you won’t be disappointed.

Is It Time to Tango with The Jive?
In theory, a love egg stimulates from the inside out, providing a holistic vibration for all of your pelvis, including the happy bits. But we found it’s not very intense and doesn’t do all that much.
