Review: VēDO Wink Vibrator

We had a little problem recently: hubby was scheduled to take a trip for two full weeks, for some continuing education for his work. Which meant that I would be stuck at home, all by myself... and horny. Now, I can fulfill some of my need through fantasy sex on Second Life, but it's rarely good enough to leave me satisfied. And while I'm not unskilled at self-pleasure, I always prefer a bit of interaction.

The solution I came up with: I picked up a couple of new toys from the adult novelty store that's closest to our house. For hubby, I got a VēDO Jack Stimulation Sleeve (look for HIS guest review, coming soon!); for myself, I picked up the VēDO Wink Vibrator.

The idea was: we could use the video chat function in our phones and tablets to fool around together, sort of like VR sex. He would use his Jack, and I would use my Wink, and we could get off at the same time—with a bit of dirty talk and visuals helping us along. It worked perfectly for both of our needs, and was a lot of fun as well.

But my goal today isn't just to suggest this solution for married couples who have to be apart for a while; I want to give a review of the VēDO Wink Vibrator.

As you can see from the picture, it is a "jackrabbit" style vibrator; this means that, in addition to the main probe/vibe, it has a second probe intended for additional stimulation. In this case, both probes have their own vibration motors and controls, so it is possible to have one going and not the other. Also, each control/motor has several settings (three each: high, low, and pulse), which makes for a lot of potentially amazing combinations—of which, I was happy to try a few.

For starters: this vibe is well-sized. It's big enough to feel substantial inside me, but not so big that I feel like I'm trying to prove something to myself. The width and length both are just about right; of course, every vagina is different, but I suspect that most girls will find that the Wink fits them pretty well. Also, the rabbit part (the second probe) hits me pretty well, too. I've had other jackrabbit-style vibes before, which may or may not line up pretty well with my clit. My guess is that the VēDO people did a fair amount of research on sizes and shapes as they designed this one.

It feels pretty good just as a dildo, but turn on one of the vibe settings and OH MY—very nice. They are well-calibrated settings: the low setting is a nice, mild stimulation, enough to get the juices flowing pretty heavily; the high setting is fairly intense, and I was quickly overwhelmed by it (but not necessarily in a bad way). Pulse is great, as it varies quickly but not so fast that you can't really tell a difference; in some vibes, "pulse" is a gimmick, as you have barely stopped feeling the vibration before it's up high again. Not so with the Wink.

When it came to the different settings and the dual motors/probe vibes, I tried to put it through its paces with adequate trials for many combinations; yes, it was a real hardship, but I did it for your sake, dear reader. Even though having both on high almost made me black out after a few minutes, I think my favorite was having the main vibe on low and the clit vibe on pulse—this one let me work it at my own pace, grinding the whole thing in and out and quaking out orgasm after orgasm. A close second was a variation, with the main vibe on pulse and the clit vibe on low; this felt almost like the Wink was fucking me all by itself, while giving my clit a nice, regular stroke—once I figured this out, I used this combination regularly during my video sessions with hubby, and it gave me a nice "virtual reality" sensation.

Another variation that I tried out—actually, hubby did, when he was playing with me one morning after returning home—was turning the whole thing over and letting the second probe address my asshole. The fit isn't quite as good for this (which makes sense, as this is not the position it was designed for), but nevertheless it was a whole lot of fun. I'll have to re-visit that option, and see how I like the different combinations that way.

If it sounds like the Wink is pretty awesome, that's because it really is. The only issue I found is actually a non-issue, once you understand it. If you read other reviews online, you will frequently see the complaint that the switches don't turn the vibrating motors off. That's wrong; they DO, if you hold them in for about five seconds. If you just touch them quickly, they will switch to the next mode but not turn off. This, I'm sure, is so that girls don't get frustrated from accidentally hitting the switch and turning the whole thing off—but it's understandable that others may complain about this, which certainly is not intuitive. (It is, however, mentioned in the instructions that come with the Wink.)

This was my first product from VēDO, and I can tell you that they will be on my list of manufacturers whose goods I like and will buy again. In fact, after scanning their website, I already have my eye on a couple of others that they make. All of their products are made from high-end silicone, with plastic attachments when necessary (such as the motor housing for this vibe). And yes, it's that same yummy, satiny texture of silicone that I love so much!

VēDO assures us that this toy is 100% non-latex and is phthalate free, and thus hypoallergenic. It cleans up easily with soap and water or a specialized toy cleaner; you can submerge it, because it's waterproof, as long as it is fully assembled (but don't try to wash it when it's disassembled, or you may ruin the electronics).

I give it all five out of five "Os," with no complaints or concerns at all! The price was fair—a bargain, compared to some other higher-end vibes—and the quality and function of the Wink is totally satisfactory. The non-intuitive switch is a minor concern, but not if you read the instruction.
