In 2008, Canadian couple Bruce and Melody Murison from Ottawa brought their first We-Vibe couple's vibrator to market. Years later, in 2014, German couple Michael and Brigitte Lenke made the Womanizer. In early 2019, both couples decided to merge their companies in the WOW Tech Group. And so We-Vibe now also has a suction toy. Where the Womanizer is mainly aimed at masturbation for women, We-Vibe mainly positions their Melt as a - there's no other way to describe it - toy for couples. The question is whether or not it actually works. Well, it definitely does!
What is a We-Vibe Melt?
The We-Vibe Melt was launched at the end of 2018. It was touted as a small 'Womanizer', intended to be used as a couple during 'penis-in-vagina' (PiV) sex. The Womanizer models, even the small Womanizer Liberty, couldn't actually be used that way. Simply because they have a very large 'mouth' that really sticks out. So the whole idea of the We-Vibe Melt is that you can 'put' the toy in between you during sex, so that the woman experiences extra clitoris stimulation, which makes it easier to cum. The We-Vibe Melt uses what they call 'Pleasure Air Technology'. It produces pulsating air pressure, making it feel like someone is gently sucking on the clitoris.
Specs and functions
Unlike all of the other suction toys, the We-Vibe Melt is made of silicone. The device is small and convenient; just 13 centimeters long and just under 3 centimeters wide. It weighs just 115 grams. You can use the + and - buttons to run through the 12 intensity modes. It charges using a magnetic USB cable. The device fully charges in 90 minutes, and you can use it for 2 hours on a full charge. The We-Vibe Melt also lets you know when the battery is low. The We-Vibe melt is extremely quiet and completely waterproof. Like most other We-Vibe toys, you can also control the Melt using the We-Vibe Connect App. That allows you to have someone else control it, wherever that person is (can be fun) and you can make your own patterns.
Unboxing
We-Vibe knows what they're doing. The box is, like all the toys from this brand, especially sleek and high end. When you open the box, the Melt lies sweetly asleep in it's little bed. The box contains a magnetic USB cable that is nice and long (90 cm). That's really convenient. It also includes a storage bag and manual with clear diagrams. The extensive manual can also be found online on the We-Vibe website. Honestly, We-Vibe leaves nothing to be desired. It's also nice that a sample packet of Pjur water-based lubricant comes with it. Just the right amount to use it the first time. The fact that it's Pjur lubricant is no surprise, because that brand is also part of the WOW Tech Group.
The test drive
My wife and I love We-Vibe and this just made our love grow. We were excited about it as soon as we picked up the box! This toy is nice and small and comes with everything you need. The Melt comes out of the box already charged, so you can start using it right off the bat. Press the + button for a few seconds to turn it on. It doesn't start on the lowest setting. You can use the + and - buttons to run through the settings. The different modes are very close to each other, which makes it almost seem as if you can change intensity seamlessly. If you hold down the + or - a bit longer, you can run quickly through the modes. 'She' thought the lowest setting felt a bit like a 'throbbing' and the highest setting was more like a 'buzzing'. But the absolute ABSOLUTE best thing about this We-Vibe Melt is that the size is perfect, and it fits perfectly between us. You really can use the Melt in every position to provide some extra stimulation to the clitoris. Controlling the small + and - buttons is a bit tricky, but - TADAAA - that's where the app comes in handy again! Don't forget to 'pair' your We-Vibe Melt with your phone. It's extremely handy. What also stands out is that the material is really nice and soft, doesn't attract much dust and is super quiet. What’s not to love? Honestly, we've found our new favorite toy! Of course 'she' can also use it solo, but unlike the Womanizer, the Melt is actually BETTER when you use it together!
Cleaning
Easy peasy! Just rinse it under the faucet! And you can use some mild soap or toy cleaner if necessary. It's so great when toys are completely waterproof.
Conclusion
Forget the Womanizer. Forget the Satisfyer. Everybody say it with me: “We-Vibe! We-Vibe!” So are there no downsides to this toy? Well, maybe one very small nit-picky thing: it's pink. And, call me a whiner, but I don't really think that's a masculine color. I'd expected a more neutral color for a couple's toy. Grey, blue, black. But pink? Really, We-Vibe?
The pros of the We-Vibe Melt:
Body-safe silicone
Small and manageable: fits between your bodies.
Waterproof, so it can also be used in the bath and is easy to clean
The 12 intensity modes switch from one to the next almost seamlessly
Magnetic charging is so easy! And the cable that comes with it is plenty long
Battery low indicator and stand-by setting
Very quiet
Comes with a storage bag (We-Vibe gets it!)
High-quality Pjur lubricant included (for the first time)
Operate it using the + and - buttons or an app on your smartphone
The cons:
Pink... really, We-Vibe? For a couple's toy?
