We-Vibe Melt – Test & Review

My experience

I went into this testing experience of the We-Vibe Melt with a bunch of excitement and anticipation for a high-tech, high-performance sex toy. I’d never managed to get my hands on an app-controlled toy before, and I was ready to be blown away by the sheer futuristic-ness of it all! I mean, a sex toy with Bluetooth?! What a time to be alive. There was just one thing that dampened my excitement a little, and that was that the We-Vibe Melt is a clit sucking toy. I know, I know, they’re beloved by women everywhere and a godsend for those who need some good clitoral stimulation to orgasm, but I just haven’t had any amazing experiences with them. I already own a Satisfyer Pro 2, and I don’t hate it, but it’s just never been my go-to toy either for solo sessions or with my boyfriend. It’s something about the more direct clit contact paired with the lack of vibrations that I haven’t been able to get on board with. But, with all that being said, I wanted to go into this with an open mind! Perhaps the We-Vibe Melt would blow me away with its ergonomic design and clit sucking technology and I’d become a true convert…

Using the We-Vibe Melt

And Then Came the App…

Design Elements that Define the We-Vibe Melt

I'm a fan of the simplistic design of the We-Vibe Melt. The silicone-all-over body feels nice to hold and keeps the look unintimidating. The shape of it is also very ergonomically designed. I'd heard before I received the Melt that the opening is smaller than other clit suckers, but it turned out to be the perfect size and shape for me – the rounder opening enclosed my clit almost perfectly, which felt pretty satisfying given my experiences with other similar toys. At the bottom of the toy is a magnetic charging connector, which is not my favorite. It doesn't really snap together, so it feels a little flimsy and could disconnect easily if you moved it too much.

Evaluating the User-Friendliness of the We-Vibe Melt

Ignoring the app for a moment, the We-Vibe Melt was super easy to get going and use. Once it was out of the box, all I had to do was give it a quick clean, charge it up and it was ready to play. The interface is incredibly simple: press the + button to start it and increase the intensity, press the - button to decrease and hold it to turn it off. The simplicity is easy to remember and the button divots help you find the buttons easily, both great for when it's down out of sight. While the Melt is not an overly heavy toy, I imagine it could get a little tiring to hold for extended periods of time, especially for those with mobility issues.

Standout Quality or Shortcomings?

The We-Vibe Melt feels as high-quality as they come. The all-over silicone is totally body-safe and feels nice against the skin (though it's not quite as soft and velvety as other silicone toys like the Lelo Soraya 2). This toy felt sturdy and solid, with no rattling, even when I shook it particularly vigorously! As I mentioned above, I had mixed feelings about the app. It, too, felt well-made, with no real bugs or crashes, but its functionality was limited and I was left a little unsatisfied by it.

Is the price worth it?

It's difficult to judge whether a product is worth it's price tag when you wouldn't necessarily consider buying it yourself, but that's part of my job, so I'll do my darnedest. The We-Vibe Melt is certainly not the most expensive sex toy on the market, but it is in the luxury sex toy price range. I would say that if you really love air pulse clit stimulators, this one is one of the best of the bunch, and could be well-worth the money. Likewise, if you're really attracted to the idea of worldwide remote control capabilities, then go ahead and invest in the Melt! But just be sure to read my thoughts on the app above before you take the plunge.

My take on the Performance

I'll preface this section with a little note that I'm not in love with clit suckers in general. I like vibrations and don't tend to get the most intense orgasms without them. But, I'm not totally immune to their allure! This toy did feel good! I started on the lowest setting and increased slowly, so the effect was subtle and took a while to get there. I couldn't really manage any other way because it was just too intense! In fact, I don't think I ever managed more than half-way through the 12 intensity levels. When using it with the app, I didn't experience any cut-outs mid-session, which was a plus, but the lack of patterns or modes really let it down for me.

The Art of Presentation: Packaging Explored

The We-Vibe Melt comes in some very pretty packaging. The box has a magnetic closure and a matte finish in pastel shades that just oozes that luxury sex toy vibe. It does have a big picture of the toy on the front though, and an illustration of a naked woman on the back, so not overly discreet. Inside is the toy, a magnetic USB charging cable (but no plug), a storage bag, a small packet of lube and some very basic instructions on how to connect to the app. I would've liked some instructions or guidelines on how to use the app and what it could do, but instead I have to find out on my own.

Reviewing the Material Choices and Care Guidelines

The body of the We-Vibe Melt is 100% body-safe silicone that both feels nice against your skin and also makes the toy easy to grip and hold. It is also completely waterproof, meaning you can use it in the shower or bath for a different-feeling experience, and also clean it easily. The one thing that concerned me is that there are no removable parts around the head or opening, which I thought could make it harder to really clean thoroughly. So far, that hasn't been an issue, but it could be something to watch out for.

Special feature

We-Vibe’s Pleasure Air technology is some of the best air pulse, clit sucking technology out there, and there’s no denying that it feels really great. Unlike a lot of its contemporaries, it creates very intense and pleasurable sensations whilst remaining surprisingly quiet and discreet. The other big selling point of the We-Vibe Melt is, of course, the remote control features afforded by their app. I’ve already talked about my issues with it at length, but the bottom line is that it does allow couples to connect in a pretty unique way.
