Get excited team, our most popular series is BACK – yes, it’s I’ll Have What She’s Having, our monthly panel of real, honest sex toy reviews, powered (wink) by our pals at Peaches and Cream (where you will, of course, find the best sex toys in NZ!). We have a brand-new group of diverse, fun and fabulous panellists who are ready and willing to try out some new products and give you their real, honest (and often hilarious) reviews. This month, our panel is testing out We Vibe Sync 2 Couples Vibrator Velvet Green – and the panel are shocked, intrigued, nervous and… excited?!
“Once we got the hang of it… WOW, it was definitely worth persevering!”
Jane, 36, newly single following a 10-year marriage and mum to two kids. She’s new to toys, as during her marriage the topic was ‘banned’, so she’s open to trying new things!
I’ll admit, there was a little bit of awkwardness getting the hang of it the first time — it took a minute to figure out the most comfortable position and how everything worked together. It can also be a little distracting at first, especially when you’re not used to the sensation or trying to figure out the positioning. But once we got the hang of it… wow, definitely worth persevering!
I found that after using it a few times, the distraction became much less noticeable because I knew what to expect and had worked out the positioning that suited me best. It started to feel much more natural rather than something I was consciously thinking about.
I love that it adds something different without completely taking over. It’s comfortable once you get the positioning right, has plenty of power, and the controls are really easy to use. It also made things feel more playful and spontaneous rather than overly “technical”.
The different settings are great because you can change things up depending on your mood, and I really liked being able to experiment rather than having it feel like there was one “right” way to use it. It also feels well made and discreet, which I appreciated.
It was definitely one where we were a little unsure at first, but we ended up wondering why we hadn’t tried one sooner, wink! Once we got past the initial “okay, how does this actually work?” moment, it became surprisingly easy and natural to use. I’d absolutely recommend it for couples wanting to add a bit of fun, novelty and playfulness to their time together!
“My husband really enjoyed my enjoyment… the vibes hit JUST the right spot”
Jamie, 31, a first-time mum to a 10-month-old little girl whose sexy time with her husband has been slow to heat up following having their daughter. They’ve never really tried toys together before, but are wanting to experiment to help get the spark back post-bubs.
As a first time mum to a 10 month old, functioning on caffeine and vibes, the spark in the bedroom has well and truly fizzled. When I saw this couple’s toy, both my husband and I were very excited to try it out. Anything that promised to add a bit of fun back into our very sleep-deprived love life was worth a shot.
The design is a beautifully soft and sleek silicone and can be gently flexed to fit your body best. Neither of us had used something like this before so it was a bit of a clunky start. There was a bit of trial and error while we worked out the best positioning, but once we figured it out, it definitely added an extra layer to the lovin’!
My husband said he didn’t really get much from it but he enjoyed my enjoyment! The vibration hits JUST the right spot and I loved not having to hold a vibrator, I could go totally hands free. My husband loved being able to control the settings using the little remote, and he would just adjust according to my reactions, which actually made the whole experience really fun for both of us.
One negative was that I found it took away some of the sensation of feeling my husband. Because part of the toy sits on the g-spot, I obviously couldn’t feel my husband fully which took away some of the intimacy for us.
It was a great toy that will definitely be a permanent part of our nighttime escapades – it brings a lot of fun and excitement into the bedroom, but I think it’s better suited for the nights when we want to spice things up, rather than when we’re craving that deep intimacy and connection.
“Thrilling, playful… and very intuitive! And it has an app!”
Rowen, 21, studying to become a sex educator and a gender non-conforming, single, mingling, bisexual who loves anything that helps release the daily load!
I was so excited to try this toy. It is sleek, the green colour is gorgeous, and to top it all off – it has an app! It has a gorgeous and subtle design. Charging is a breeze with the magnetic connection. This is easily the kind of toy you would bring with you travelling, and it’s made even easier with the storage bag that comes with the toy. The silicone is deliciously soft, it has a great ergonomic shape – all great things when it comes to cleaning. And that is a win in my book.
After I got through some troubleshooting issues with getting the device to connect, the app was very intuitive – I love the customisability and the ability to change the vibration patterns of the motors separately was fantastic.
The ability for a partner to control the toy was thrilling and playful, even better is that it is possible long distance and in-person. For solo use/long distance play this toy was great. The shape, size and posing makes for an incredibly comfortable experience and the claim that it stays during position changes rings true.
I was a little disappointed using the toy with penetrative sex. The device would frequently disconnect in certain positions, especially in those heated moments when I just wanted a little bit more. Through their website, We Vibe recommends that the external arm is not covered too much as this acts as the antenna – however, shout out to their website – it has the answer for almost any question you could possibly have.
“If you’re looking for a toy to spice things up with your partner, here it is!”
Dominique, 43, at the age where her hormones are against her in the bedroom, even with her super-hot (and often horny!) husband. She’s wanting to see how toys help find her vibe again, both solo and with her partner.
I’ll admit, I was a little nervous about trying a couples vibrator. My husband and I have good communication, but as I’ve got older and my sex drive has waned, I’ve found it harder to speak up in the bedroom, with most of the conversation focusing on why I didn’t want to have sex. Would it be awkward? Would we end up laughing? Would I spend the whole time wondering if it was in the right place? I couldn’t quite fathom how a vibrator of this type would actually sit and stay in place!
Actually, it was much easier than I expected. I tried it out solo first, as I didn’t want to seem like a rookie in front of hubby. I probably went a little too hard and fast because it hit the spot immediately and I was done in only a couple of minutes! And I was surprised by how comfortable the fit was.
When I brought it into the bedroom, hubby was straight in, although he probably played around with it a little too much to start with! We decided to set it on low and just go about our regular business, which took some of the pressure off. We then both had turns adjusting the controls and, if anything, this gave us a bit of a lesson in communication!
We both enjoyed the added flair, although I think it will take a few more uses for us to find the best settings and get it just right for both of us. I liked that it gave us something new to try together.
I wouldn’t be scared to try this as a couple now, and I’d certainly recommend it for couples looking to bring a bit of spark back into the bedroom, or for anyone who needs a little help talking and finding their feet again. For us, it was fun, surprisingly easy to use, and definitely gave us something different to enjoy together.
