Crave Vesper Mini Review: The Discreet Vibrator

It’s a reliable vibrator with an unassuming yet modern look viberator, and it’s never let me down. This toy is a clit sucker, meaning that it provides suction stimulation for pleasure as opposed to vibration. As I stated in my review of BuzzFeed’s Air Vibe, I’m not a huge fan of clit suckers.

It would seem that vibrators fall under the rubric of unmentionable products (Katsanis, 1994), and hence are largely avoided from scientific inquiry (at least by marketing scholars). That said, vibrators constitute a market estimated at one billion dollars in the United States alone (Chiang, 2011). Most vibrators have locking mechanisms too , which some people mistake for a faulty product. Gerek vouches that this toy makes for “explosive climaxes” with its combination of sucking, stroking, and vibration. Yes, there’s even a “climax button” you can deploy when you’re getting close to coming, and the toy will suck you in even deeper, mimicking a deep-throating sensation for an intense finish.

Now we have the Vesper 2—born out of a Kickstarter campaign in late 2022 and officially launched in the summer of 2023. How could Crave upgrade something that was already close to perfection? Well, let me just say if you’re a fan of the original Vesper, you’ll love this one too. Overall, I enjoyed seeing how Dame Products combined new technology to give users an updated experience with something many of us already love — masturbating the old-fashioned way, by hand.

If you’re in the market for a toy that does all the work for you, has a vast range of customisable settings and clever technology that feels even better than the real thing – then we might have just the thing. This gadget gets its name from its vibrating ‘rabbit ears’, positioned along the shaft at just the right height to stimulate the clitoris. We also loved the squeeze sensors placed on either side of the device that allow you use the pressure of your hands to adjust the vibrations. Overall, a great choice for those who like to experiment and have more control over their experience.

I suggest using your vibrator in conjunction with lube, which will help your toy glide gently across your clitoris instead of tugging at it. If you have a silicone toy, you want to avoid silicone lubes, which can break down your new purchase. It’s a water-based lube (safe for silicone toys!) that has the same wonderful texture as a silicone lube. “When men only use their hands to regularly masturbate, they essentially get used to that one sensation/grip/pressure,” explains Dr. Tara, a sex educator and coach.

A few less-than-perfectly-dressed fret ends aside, the neck is addictively comfortable. If there’s a lot of Richard Thompson hammer-ons and pull-offs in your own playing vernacular, you’ll love the snappy touch responsiveness. You can really start to bend the Viberator to your own needs with the modern/vintage voice switch. The difference between the two voices is especially pronounced in chorus mode.

Designed for those with a clitoris, the Eva “is held snugly in place by flexible wings that tuck under the labia,” explains Denyer. However, “you can use your hands to press it down for even more power if you like,” advises Weiss. For such a small package, it packs a lot of features with five speeds, three vibration patterns and a fully waterproof design (up to three feet). The unique shape allows you to experiment with different types of stimulation, and the squishy feeling of the silicone makes it more comfortable against your body than a rigid plastic vibrator — trust me. This uses air technology for a suction-like effect, similar to what you may enjoy during oral partner sex.

But most toys are far less complicated than they seem, and once you get one, you’ll wonder what you were stressing about. Men with spinal cord injury can frequently achieve erection and have sexual intercourse, however the percentage who can successfully ejaculate is very low. Penile vibratory stimulation is an office procedure that is painless and requires no anesthetic or sedation. We tried out as many toys as we could, but we also wanted some input from sexperts so that they could share their recommendations for you.

With all the thousands of vibrators on the market, it can be tough to know what to look for, so here’s a handy breakdown of three qualities any vibrator worth its salt should have.

The Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl G-Spot Rabbit Vibrator is as classic as sex toys come. This rumbly option has a girthy shaft paired with an adorable rabbit-shaped clit massager for double the pleasure and fun. It’s also worth mentioning that this vibrating massager features 36 toe-curling vibration combinations, so feel free to experiment with them. Some vibrators are best enjoyed solo, but the Adam & Eve Rechargeable Rabbit was made to be shared.
