Rocks Off Oriel — Test & Review

My Reflections on the Rocks Off Oriel

From the pictures I saw online, the Rocks Off Oriel already seemed very luxurious and promising. However, I still didn’t have huge expectations, because I wanted to anticipate the Oriel until it arrived.

First Unpacking

After a Few Tries…

A closer look at the Design

After checking the Oriel out and holding it in my hands I noticed, the slim shaft and large head are solid, but the part in between them is slightly bendable, which surprised me. The next thing was the flashing and constant light glowing when it's turned on or charging. The Oriel is only available in black and bronze, which I think is perfectly fine since the combination itself works pretty well. Sometimes I catch myself just looking at it and admiring the toy!

The Rocks Off Oriel: User Convenience

The Oriel is pretty easy and simple to handle. After figuring out how to turn on the toy, the fun immediately begins with powerful vibrations. It needs a little practice of figuring out how the 2 buttons work together, how long to press them and how to activate the settings. There is no option to lower the settings, the Oriel needs to get turned off and after you need to click through all the settings until the right one comes. For me this lowers the mood a little, but didn't have a huge negative impact. It's also very easy to hold, though the buttons can be a little hard to press if it gets slippery. The tip of the Oriel can also feel a bit heavy, which, in rare cases, can make it a little difficult to keep steady.

Rating the Quality of the Rocks Off Oriel

The Rocks Off Oriel is made out of smooth and flawless materials. There are no sharp edges or porous parts, and it definitely feels good to hold and press against every body part that needs attention. Even though the little part between tip and shaft seems fragile, but it's not. It is bendable and can easily withstand pressure, which I thoroughly tested. The Oriel is not silent, but it's also not the loudest toy I own.

Price of the Rocks Off Oriel

For me, the price is almost worth it. It does feel a little high compared to what you get. There is no storage bag in the package, there is no app included or any other special features. Simply put, it's a wand and a charging cable for a not insignificant amount of money. However, for the price, you still receive a strong, good looking toy, with high quality design and materials. Once you own the Oriel and forget about the price, when using it, you'll say that it's worth it. For me, if the price was $10-15 lower, I would agree even more!

Performance of the Rocks Off Oriel

I was expecting way lower vibrations for such a wand, and so the first time I turned the Oriel on I was like "oh wow thats intense!". This wand can definitely compete with wands twice its size. The online description seemed very tame about it, so I thought it would be an average massager wand, but it definitely surpassed my expectations. The vibrations on the lowest setting are already very strong and sometimes can be uncomfortable directly placed on the clitoris without prior stimulation. With some practice and getting warm with the toy, it's a huge pleasure and the sensations feel amazing. The Oriel is also easy to charge with a strong magnetic charging cable, and the battery lasts for up to 3 hours — definitely enough for a long session.

Evaluating the Rocks Off Oriel’s packaging

The packaging of the Oriel is minimalistic and discreet. It shows what's included and it does justice to the toy with the colors of the packaging (black, violet and orange). On the outside, there are some rough descriptions and instructions for the Oriel, and there's no plastic included in the packaging, which makes it more environmentally friendly. All in all, the packaging is well designed and flattering for the Oriel.

How to care for the materials of the Rocks Off Oriel

The Rocks Off Oriel is made from metallic ABS plastic and body-safe silicone. I've noticed that some pet hair, dust and lint stick easily to the silicone, but are also easy to remove with water and a microfiber towel. One detail I noticed is the seam between the silicone and the ABS, which seems well-sealed, but I think it's still possible with time that some moisture could enter the toy. The company says that it's 100% waterproof, but still advises to avoid longer water exposure. After every usage, it's important to clean the toy with soapy water or a toy cleaner.

Special feature

The little optical feature of the Oriel wand is the constant light when it’s turned on. It flashes when it’s charging and stays on when the toy is finished charging. When you turn it on, it signals that it’s ready for use by a flashing light. When the battery is low, it also starts to flash so you won’t get caught off guard!
