KiWi Light Up Silicone Luxury Vibrator Review

Lovehoney

Not so long ago the Ki-Wi Light-Up Silicone Luxury Vibrator caused quite a stir, being as it is a vibrator with a built in light-up function to make playing in the dark easier and more fun. LoveHoney have sent me over one to test out and see whether it adds more spice to kinky fun in the dark.

What They Have Said About It

Ki-Wi Light-Up Silicone Luxury Vibrator

This is what they had to say about the product:

This uniquely shaped vibrator is packed with fantastic functions that will make you squeal, moan and shudder with delight! The light-up tip guides the way and the quiet-yet-powerful vibrations can be guided to any area, thanks to the ergonomic design.
 
The Ki-Wi is a body-friendly vibrator with a difference - its entire build, design and function is for the purpose of pleasure! There's no unnecessary buttons or switches, no clunky base, no annoying hard-to-grip twist dial - just pure, simple sex toy. The unusual yet ergonomic shape means that it's easy to hold and even easier to use.
 
Just rest the Ki-Wi against the curve of your body and let the vibrations do the rest or, for a more intense experience, place the flat base in the palm of your hand and let your fingers spread around the body, giving you a firm grip and the option of pinpoint pleasure!
 
Located on the base, in contrasting black, are two buttons - these adjust the speed and function of vibration. Choose from three speeds of vibration, numerous pulses, a series of swells and a clever mixed function.
 
If you like it light and teasing, use just the tip on your erogenous zones for the most tingling of experiences. If you prefer it hard and fast, press the firm silicone body against your clitoris to enjoy strong vibrations which appear to radiate all over! The tip of the Ki-Wi even lights up in glowing purple, to help you find your way in the dark! You can also swap the direction of the tip around, allowing for one of the most customisable orgasm experiences ever.

The Packaging

The Ki-Wi vibrator comes in a very seductive magnetic-close box. The black outer thick board is lined inside in a baby pink colour. It magnetically attaches to the pink board box which houses the Ki-Wi Silicone vibrator.

A firm plastic cover keeps the vibrator in place which rests on a pink satin-type material bed. A small folded set of instructions sit underneath the vibrator.

The Product Itself

The Ki-Wi Silicone Vibrator is definitely very stylish. A hard white plastic case houses two AAA batteries (not supplied). On it are two simple buttons in black, with a black surround.

The tip of the vibrator is in opaque white silicone. The very tip is flexible whilst the portion nearest the plastic casing is firm. The tip is slightly angled downwards as a measure to be more ergonomic.

The batteries can be changed by twisting the plastic casing. It takes a small twist before it pops off.

The Test

First off, I absolutely love the packaging. This is a budget sex toy but right from the start I feel like it is worth so much more. A magnetic clip box makes it perfect for giving as a gift.

The vibrator has a unique and distinctive shape. Some people say it looks sperm or tadpole shaped, others think it looks fish-like. It has been designed in Japan which is renowned for the best sex toys available. It has then been manufactured in China equating to an expensive looking designer sex toy at a fraction of what it ought to cost.

The Ki-Wi vibe has a non-threatening look to it and is therefore great for using either alone or with a partner.

The vibrator is quite heavy when the batteries are inserted, weighing over 150g. It doesn't change the way you would use it but may put some people off. I found the best way to use it was t hold the rounded plastic part trying not to hold the silicone. If you hold the silicone you can dampen some of the vibrations.

Using the vibrator is very easy. Simply press either of the two buttons to turn it on and press and hold the bottom button to turn it off. Both buttons cycle through the vibration patterns in both directions. It doesn't matter which you use but the top button generally leads to stronger vibrations whilst the lower button does the opposite.

The vibrator is very quiet even at top speed which is reassuring. It doesn't fail on delivering good strong vibrations. I was concerned that the 2cm of flexible tip wasn't going to be enough to pleasure me as I like but boy was I wrong! It has the same sort of flexibility as a rabbit ear in a traditional rabbit vibrator.

The vibration patterns included are as follows:

  1. Solid slow
  2. Solid medium
  3. Solid fast
  4. Short pulses
  5. Bursts
  6. Pulse-pulse-burst
  7. Slow to fast bursts
  8. Slow to fast pulses, with a couple of bursts
  9. Slow to fast pulses, then back to slow
  10. Bursts, then slow to fast pulses

The party trick of the Ki-Wi vibrator is that the tip lights up in sync with the vibrations. The fuchsia pink light glows and dances in time with the vibrations. The strong the vibration, the more intense the light.

The novel light up feature is an improvement on glow-in-the-dark sex toys and is great for night time play perhaps under the covers or simply in a darkened room. It can be used alongside oral sex so he can lick your lips whilst the Ki-Wi tickles your clitoris, and vice versa.

The light doesn't really add anything to your pleasure but it is helpful in the dark as it provides a little bit of guidance.

(Apologies for the blurred photo - taking photos in the dark isn't easy!)

I really loved this vibrator. The slower vibration patterns are great for getting me in the mood and I found that these were great on erogenous zones around my body. I loved the more intense vibrations and patterns directly on my clitoris and it managed to live up to my expectations.

We tested this in the dark and when combined with the talented tongue of your partner, this does result in mind blowing orgasms. Even without the tongue it performs very well. I climaxed each time I used this and often quite quickly too.

I love the design and shape, but best of all the price tag. It is an affordable designer sex toy - often those words just don't mix. A designer look and feel, together with a powerful and quiet motor fused with simple to use buttons and standard batteries makes this a winner on so many levels.

Summary

Who Is It For?

The Ki-Wi is definitely intended as an intimate gift for a female. It has a high quality build feel and ornate packaging but a low price point making it a great value gift.

It is a great clit stim vibrator with a light-up tip, ideal for playing in the dark. It's non-threatening appearance makes it ideal for use either alone or with a partner.

The Negatives

Is It Worth Buying?

If you are looking for a great value clit stim sex toy, treat yourself to this. The Ki-Wi Light-Up Silicone Luxury Vibrator combines Japanese design with Chinese workmanship, creating a budget sex toy with a designer look and feel.
