Rocks Off Oriel Rechargeable Play Wand

Effective and great fun!

I like the compact size of this wand. Wireless is great. Very effective during play with clit stimulation. My partner was very pleased.

Decent Wand, But There Are Definitely Better Options Out There

TL; DR - If you want a vibrator that's more compact that the Oriel and is on par with the Oriel in terms of settings and power, and you want to save $10, get the Rocks-Off Chaiamo instead.

This is a good wand. Not great, but it's good. It's waterproof, rechargeable, and is compact compared to other vibrating wands like the better known Magic Wand. It's plenty of power for its size, but don't go expecting Doxy levels of vibrations from this thing.

However, I have to knock off 2 stars for these reasons:

1. When you open the instructions, it says you can cycle through the settings by pressing two of the buttons on the wand. Press the button on top to cycle up, and press the button on the bottom (which is also the power button) to cycle down to the previous setting. I found that this toy can only cycle up. If you want to go to the previous setting, you have to go through all the other settings before coming back to the one you want.

I emailed Rocks-Off customer service to clarify if there was a mistake in the instructions or the programming in my model was off. The rep confirmed that it was a "typo" in the instructions and that you can only use one button to cycle through the modes. Having a full sentence claiming that their item can perform a function it is unable to do in their own instruction manual is not a "typo": it is an outright lie, plain and simple.

2. I really don't think it's worth the extra $10. I already had another vibrator from Rocks-Off that I love, the Chaiamo, but I bought the Oriel as its ad on the Rocks-Off website claimed that the vibrations in the handle were minimal compared to their other models. I found this is not the case. The $40 Chaiamo packs the same amount of power as the $50 Oriel (they likely have the same motor), and the residual vibration you feel as you hold them are pretty much the same. The only different between the two, aside from the price point and design, is that the Oriel is actually louder than the Chaiamo. This is probably due to how the inner workings of the Oriel are mainly concentrated at the head, while the Chaiamo's are evenly "placed" throughout the toy.

In addition to this, the Chaiamo has the exact same settings as the Oriel and you can only cycle up, as the Chaiamo only has 1 button for changing its setting and turning it on and off. Simple.

If it's really, really important to you to have a sleek-looking, waterproof wand that has a rounded head and maybe want to do a bit of karaoke in your shower, then sure, the Oriel probably fits the bill. But if you're looking at this in terms of power and price point, you're better off getting the Rocks-Off Chaiamo, or saving up a few more dollars and spoiling yourself with a Magic Wand or Doxy.
