In the next sections, I’ll cover the Ida Wave’s clit vibration power and rumbliness.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Ida Wave has one of the best clit motors of any dual-stim wearable. It’s got the most rumbly clit motor of the dual-stim wearables I’ve tested, and has great power. It’s strong enough for me to orgasm hands-free, and while some others have even more strength, the broad external arm helps the vibrations reach my clit more effectively than many stronger toys.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Niki’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Niki is one of the most stimulating panty vibrators and one of the few I can orgasm with hands-free. It’s strong, transfers the vibes where they should go, and is the most rumbly panty vibe I’ve tested. If you value raw power most, go with the stronger Lovense Ferri. If strong, rumbly vibrations matter more, go with the Niki.

The Ida Wave has strong clit vibrations – strong enough for me to orgasm hands-free. Its ten power levels span from a very gentle 1.0 up to 8.5 out of 10, with gradual steps for a comfortable, slow build.

The vibrations transfer really well to my clit too. With hands-free vibrators, the toy’s shape and fit have to naturally carry the motor’s strength to your body. The Ida Wave’s design does this very well: the tight angle of the internal arm pushes the clit arm firmly against my body, and the broad shape distributes this pressure evenly and consistently (and very comfortably).

Of the dual-stim wearables I’ve tested, the Lovense Dolce and Lovense Flexer reach higher raw top powers, but neither delivers their power to the clit as effectively as the Ida Wave.

The Niki’s clit motor hits a top power of 8.0 out of 10 – great power, but not the strongest panty vibrator out there. Both the Lovense Ferri and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are stronger on high power, though both are also noticeably buzzier than the Niki. Where the Niki stands out isn’t raw power, though – it’s that the broad, flexible, curved design delivers that power to your body unusually well – essential for good stimulation in a hands-free toy. Among panty vibrators, only the Ferri transfers more of its motor’s strength to the clit.

For me, the Niki’s 8.0 top strength is enough power to orgasm hands-free. If top vibration strength is your main priority, go with the Ferri – but the Niki is plenty powerful for most people.

The Niki has six power levels spanning a wide range, from a very gentle 1.0 for warmup up to 8.0 at the top. That low end matters more with a wearable than with a handheld because you can’t just lift a panty vibrator off your body when things start feeling too intense – it’s nice to be able to dial down without reaching to pull the toy out of place.

Vibration transfer is where the Niki really stands out from most panty vibes. With a handheld you can position the vibrator exactly where you want it and just press harder to make the vibes feel more intense; with most wearables, you can’t, so the toy’s shape has to naturally transfer the vibrations where they should go. And the Niki’s shape does that well – its broad, flexible, curved design stays consistently in contact with my body transferring the vibrations right to my clit.

I wear it two different ways: with the top near my clit and the back end toward my vagina, or my preferred “upside-down” way with the top just under my clit and the rest of the toy wrapped up around my pubic bone. The vibrations transfer really well either way, but the toy stays even tighter to my body with the upside-down method.

The Niki’s curve also lets you press harder when you want to for more stimulation – something flat panty vibes can’t do. When you’re sitting, you can shift your weight against the end of the toy that’s opposite your clit. The surface pushes against the base and the curve tilts the clit end to press more firmly into you making the vibes feel stronger. It’s the closest a hands-free wearable gets to the better pressure control of a handheld.

We rate wearables with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because rumbly is what most people prefer. But it’s definitely a personal preference, so consider what you like.

The Ida Wave’s clit motor is one of the most rumbly of my dual-stimulation wearables. Its lowest power setting is extremely rumbly at 46 Hz, the middle of its range is moderately rumbly at 68 Hz, and its top setting reaches neutral at 84 Hz – it never crosses into buzzy territory. My other dual-stim wearables are buzzier: the Lovense Dolce starts rumbly on low (49 Hz) but climbs into extremely buzzy at its top, and the Lovense Flexer is extremely buzzy at every power level.

Rumbly vibrations travel deeper into your body and tend to feel less ticklish than buzzy ones, which is part of why many people prefer them. While I can orgasm just as well from buzzy wearables as rumbly ones, the Ida Wave will be best for those who prioritize rumbliness.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer rumbly. But it’s a personal preference, and some people like buzzy vibrations more.

The Niki is the most rumbly panty vibrator we’ve tested. Every other panty vibrator I’ve tested – the Lovense Ferri, We-Vibe Moxie+, NS Novelties Techno Lucy, and Romp Party – center around around the moderately or extremely buzzy frequency range. The Niki is the only one with a primarily rumbly clit motor.

The Niki’s lowest settings are extremely rumbly, the middle settings stay moderately rumbly, and only the very top setting feels neutral – never becoming buzzy. All the other panty vibrators we’ve tested become buzzy on their top settings. The Niki’s rumbliness has real power behind it too – the motor is strong as well as deep.

If rumbliness is what you want from a panty vibrator, the Niki is the best choice – no other panty vibrator I’ve tested comes close. If you care more about raw power than rumbliness, the Ferri is excellent – it’s less rumbly, but it’s stronger with excellent vibration transfer, and I can orgasm hands-free from it just as easily as from the Niki.

Like all panty vibrators, the VeDo Niki only stimulates your clit – not your G-spot. Since most women need clit stimulation to orgasm, a panty vibrator is often the right type of wearable. But if you’re interested in G-spot stimulation instead, see all our recommendations for the best egg vibrators here.

I really enjoy the Ida Wave’s G-spot motion and it hits my G-spot well, but it’s somewhat subtle – like gentle fingering. It adds depth to my orgasms driven by the clit motor, but isn’t the main event on its own.

This rotational motion is one of my favorites, because this angle can direct pressure against the front wall where my G-spot is. Of the motion-based wearables I’ve tested, the Ida Wave hits the G-spot best: the “fingering” motion of the Lovense Flexer actually creates more clit movement than internal movement. And in-and-out thrusting toys like the Lovense Vulse feel good but don’t press on my G-spot specifically. The Ida Wave’s motion is also more stimulating than the Lelo Hula Beads which have too little range of motion to reach my G-spot reliably.

The stimulation is on the gentle side because the internal arm is flexible, so the pressure is light. If you like substantial force on your G-spot, handheld G-spot toys like the We-Vibe Nova 2 or Lovense Nora allow for much more leveraging pressure. But what I enjoy about the Ida Wave is that it’s effortless.

I can let the clit vibrations bring me to orgasm hands-free while the G-spot motion makes the orgasm stronger and more full.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Lelo app’s close-range features, long-distance features, and connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: Lelo’s app is clean, easy to use, and reliable, but it’s basic compared with the best vibrator apps.

Close-range and long-distance controls works well for adjusting intensity, choosing preset patterns, or controlling power through your phone’s movement. But there’s no custom pattern creation, sound sync, multi-toy control, or independent control over each motor. Long-distance connections are reliable, but the experience is bare-bones with no video calling or photo sharing. Bluetooth connectivity is solid during normal use, though heavy body interference can cause dropouts.

If basic, reliable control is enough and you primarily want the Ida Wave for its comfortable motion and rumbly clit vibrations, the app works well. If a feature-rich app and engaging long-distance experience are priorities, go with a Lovense dual-stimulation wearable like the Lovense Dolce or the Lovense Flexer if you still want motion.

The VeDo Niki isn’t controlled through an app. App control lets you create custom patterns, control multiple motors or toys, play long-distance, and lets a controlling partner see exactly what your toy is doing. If that matters to you, see our app-controlled recommendations in these guides:

• best remote and app-controlled vibrators (all types of vibrators)
• best wearable vibrators (wearables only).

The Lelo app’s close-range features are clean, easy to use, and work well – but they’re very basic. It’s essentially a glorified remote control which can be good if you like simplicity.

You can adjust intensity, choose preset patterns, and use Lelo’s unique motion-control feature like their physical remotes provide. But it lacks the advanced features better apps offer, like custom pattern creation, music/sound sync, separate control over each motor, and the ability to control multiple toys at once.

Manual mode is just a picture of Lelo’s remote and + / − buttons to raise or lower intensity. It works well, but with 10 power levels, it takes lots of repeated taps to reach high power. Better apps like Lovense’s feel smoother because you can tap or drag directly to the intensity you want instead of clicking a button several times.

For faster intensity changes, use the Screwing mode. This adjusts the toy’s power based on your phone’s tilt – level for gentle vibrations, closer to 90 degrees for stronger. This is also a great way to control your toy without staring at a screen.

Shaking changes intensity based on how hard you shake the phone, but I think it takes too much energy, so it’s not very useful.

On all 3 screens, you can select a pattern and control its intensity. The pattern names are vague like “Delighted” or “Overjoyed” instead of descriptive like “Waves” or “Pulses”. And the app shows small waveform icons for each motor, but you don’t see them until you’ve selected the pattern. So you have to select and try each pattern to know what it feels like.

It’s missing more advanced functionality other apps provide. There’s no custom pattern creation, no music or sound-reactive control, no multi-toy control, and no individual control over each motor. Each pattern in the Ida Wave’s app assigns a preset waveform to both motors, and some Modes give the clit and G-spot motors different patterns. But any intensity adjustment applies to both motors together, so you can’t turn up the clit vibrations while keeping the G-spot motion slow for example. Better apps like Lovense allow individual control of each motor.

One small annoyance: the app requires an account even for close-range solo use. It usually stays logged in, but it sometimes signs me out, which is frustrating when I’m ready to use the toy.

For simple, reliable close-range control, the Ida Wave’s app is good. But if you want more advanced app features, the Lovense Dolce is a good dual-stimulation wearable with a better app.

Lelo’s long-distance experience is very basic.

It works for offering a partner simple, reliable control of your toy from anywhere in the world, but it doesn’t have the communication features that make long-distance feel more like sharing an experience together: no video or voice calls, no saved partners, no photo or voice messaging, no custom pattern creation, and you can only send text messages when you’re both in an active session.

To start, you create a new Room and send your partner the code outside the app. That’s fine for one-off sessions, but you have to create a new room every time. There are no saved partner profiles, online status, auto-accept settings, or permissions. So with a regular partner, you have to start from scratch each time.

Once connected, the controlling partner gets a version of the same Play screen used for close-range control: they will use the Manual mode, and the Screwing/Shaking motion modes to contol your toy. Lelo does add two useful long-distance controls: a drag-to-position dot for setting intensity quickly, and a voice-control mode that changes power based on sound picked up by the phone’s mic. Both make it quicker to set a specific intensity than tapping + / − repeatedly.

But it lacks lots of communication features that make most long-distance toys feel fun and connecting. There’s only text messaging, with no message history once the room ends, so you can’t go back and reread fun messages. Video or voice calls have to happen in another app, like FaceTime or Zoom. But if you each have a Lelo toy, you can each control the other’s toy.

If long-distance play is a priority, the Lovense Dolce or Lovense Flexer is the better dual-stim wearable. Lovense has in-app video, messaging, saved partners, permission settings, and detailed controls so your partner can make custom patterns. Lelo is fine for basic control-sharing, but Lovense is much stronger for ongoing partner play.

The Ida Wave’s close-range Bluetooth is good for solo use: pairing is reliable, commands consistently go through, and the range is strong – 215 feet in our test without any blockage. It can be sensitive to too much body tissue coming between the phone and toy, but this doesn’t happen much in normal use.

The first time you connect, you’ll add the toy to your list which takes a few clicks. After that first one-time pairing, I just tap the toy from the My Toy list, tap Play, and it connects within a few seconds.

The Ida Wave stays connected well when the phone and toy have a clear path, but Bluetooth struggles when a lot of body tissue sits between them. In our body-interference test, it handled light body interference but dropped at the two harder angles with more material blocking the signal.

For most people this won’t really be an issue with the Ida Wave. Our test runs harsher than real wear. The Ida Wave’s receiver is in the external arm and often will have a relatively clear shot – especially since this toy is best in bed rather than wearing around where your partner might be at an odd angle like controlling your toy from behind you.

If the connection drops between your phone and the toy, the app won’t automatically reconnect when the signal returns. You have to go back to the toy’s connection page, and press the physical button on the Ida Wave itself to re-pair. Since the button’s on the external arm, it’s not much trouble, but still takes effort.

Connecting in long-distance mode through a “room” is reliable because your partner’s phone isn’t talking directly to the toy. Your phone controls the Ida Wave over Bluetooth, and your partner’s phone connects to yours over Wi-Fi or cell data. As long as your phone stays near the toy and both internet connections are decent, the long-distance connection works well.

One small long-distance quirk: if the controlling partner locks their phone or leaves the app for more than about 30 seconds, they drop out of the Room and have to re-enter the code. The wearer’s connection doesn’t drop – control just pauses until they rejoin.

For most typical uses, the Ida Wave’s connection is solid. But if the best connectivity is important to you, the Lovense Dolce or Flexer is a better pick. They handle tougher body-blocking angles better, and are stronger overall for app-controlled play.

The Lelo Ida Wave doesn’t include a physical remote control. A remote lets you adjust the toy by feel – without pulling out your phone. Though there’s other downsides like less depth and no visual feedback to help your partner know what your toy’s doing. If you want to consider options with physical remotes, see our recommendations in these guides:

• best remote and app-controlled vibrators (all types of vibrators)
• best wearable vibrators (wearables only).

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Niki’s remote features and connectivity.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Niki has one of the better panty-vibe remotes – reliable connection, quick response, and fast, direct power buttons. Its main limitations are typical of remotes versus apps: less partner feedback and shorter range. Go with the Lovense Ferri for app control, but the Niki has great remote control, which can be nice if you don’t want you or a partner to be tied to a phone.

The Niki’s remote is great with a few minor downsides – most of which are typical of remotes compared to apps.

Power control is fast and direct – you can move forward and backward through the six power levels with dedicated + and – buttons. Pattern navigation uses a single-button cycle loop – clicking forward through the nine patterns one at a time, with no way to go backward to a previous pattern. In practice this doesn’t matter that much, since most people stay on steady vibrations rather than cycling through patterns. You can also adjust the intensity of each pattern.

The remote is comfortable to hold, but the buttons themselves are less tactile than the best panty-vibe remotes – they’re not raised enough to tell which is which by feel, so I have to look at the remote to find the right button – something you get used to as you use the remote more.

Like most remotes, the Niki’s gives your partner just a faint blink when you press a button – no way to tell what setting your toy is on. That’s fine if you’re using the Niki yourself and many partners won’t mind. Others find it less engaging when they can’t tell what your toy is doing and what you’re actually feeling. An app-controlled panty vibe gives your partner real-time visuals of the toy’s vibrations, which makes controlling it feel more engaging. If that’s a priority for you, the Lovense Ferri is the best app-controlled panty vibe, and Lovense has the best app of any brand.

The Niki’s remote connectivity is excellent, though its maximum range lands in the middle of the pack.

Body tissue between a remote and toy is typically the main thing that breaks a remote’s signal during partner control, but the Niki holds up well to this. Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Niki holds a stable connection through all of them. Our test runs harsher than typical real-world conditions, so partner-controlled play should stay reliable in practice.

Button presses register with barely any delay – the toy reacts the moment my finger leaves the button, keeping the rhythm of play intact. And theres no reconnection routine required when starting to play – the remote is always connected.

The remote reaches about 60 feet in our open-air range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. This is middle-of-the-road for the wearable vibrators’ remotes we tested and real-world range will likely be shorter once objects and body interference come in. But this gives you enough flexibility for most activities, and especially any same-room use. If you need an especially long range, many app-controlled toys stay connected farther – for instance, the Lovense Ferri stayed connected until 190 feet in our same test.

Like most wearables, the Ida Wave’s on-toy controls are limited by design – you’ll mostly control it through the app. The button is a single-button cycle for 7 vibration patterns, with only one vibration power level accessible on-toy. The rotating internal arm spins at one fixed speed regardless of which setting you select.

For the full 10 power settings and control over the arm’s speed, you have to use the app.

If you do have to use the on-toy button, the button placement is good. On most wearables, pressing the button often means pushing the toy uncomfortably against you or removing it completely first. But the Ida Wave’s button is on the side of the external arm.

It’s comfortable and easy to press, and doesn’t push the toy uncomfortably against your body, making it decent as a backup if you don’t feel like using the app.

Like most wearable vibrators the Niki’s on-toy controls are limited by design, since you’ll typically use the remote to control it. There’s a single button that cycles through a steady vibration and nine patterns – all at one fixed intensity. To use the toy’s full six-level power range, you need the remote.

The button itself has a subtle feel and sits further back on the toy, so it takes some reaching to press if for some reason you want to change settings without the remote. When you do press the button, the toy’s broad, flexible shape keeps the pressure comfortable against your body. The on-toy button works as a backup, but the remote is the main way you’ll use the Niki.

The Ida Wave is the least secure-fitting dual-stim wearable I’ve tested. I still really enjoy this toy, but you can’t wear it around. And even in bed, I have to make occasional adjustments.

The rotating internal arm is small and flexible while the external arm is broad and heavy, so the toy’s own weight slowly works the internal arm out. It’s flexible, but not adjustable, so there are no hinges to actually re-shape the toy to make it more secure.

In bed, the Ida Wave stays workable but never feels fully reliably anchored. I can roll, shift positions, even kneel, but I find myself adjusting it or pushing the internal arm back in a few times per session. The clit vibrations are stimulating, but for the best experience, plan to use your hand every so often to re-position it. If you’ll find that annoying, dual-stimulation toys without motion like the Lovense Dolce are much more secure.

The Ida Wave is not designed to be worn around. When I walked around with it in, I had to keep pushing it back into position; only my underwear stopped it from falling all the way out. It also bumps against the inside of my legs, making walking awkward. With any sort of heavier activity like running or jumping the Ida Wave pulls most of the way out.

If walking around or moving with the toy in is part of what you want from a wearable, the Ida Wave isn’t built for it – and really none of my strong dual-stimulation wearables are easy to wear around. A panty vibrator like the Lovense Ferri or egg vibrator like the Lovense Lush 4 are much more secure. You can even wear both of these at the same time and control them through the Lovense app.

In my experience the Niki stays securely in the ideal place when wearing it in bed and during normal everyday activity like walking or going up and down stairs – but it shifts more during heavy movement like running or jumping.

The Niki’s broad, flexible, curved design contours to your body, so it stays snug and doesn’t shift during light activity the way some slimmer or straight panty vibrators can. It’s also secured to your underwear by a magnet – essential for any panty vibrator to fit securely. The Niki’s magnet is on the weaker side compared to other panty vibrators, but in normal wear that’s not really an issue – the form-fitting shape prevents the kind of shifting, tilting, or movement that would pull the magnet off, and the magnet itself is slim and form-fitted to the toy so it doesn’t get bumped off easily. The magnet can come loose when you actively re-position the toy in your underwear, but otherwise has stayed attached for me.

Heavy activity is not as good. When running, the toy bounces on landings and the stimulation briefly pulls away before gravity returns it. With jumping jacks, it slid further down in my underwear, and I had to adjust the placement afterward. It never fell out, but during vigorous movement the form-fitting shape can’t fully prevent the toy from shifting, and the relatively weak magnet doesn’t pick up the slack the way a stronger one can.

If you specifically want a panty vibrator that holds securely under intense movement, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy holds up better. Otherwise, the Niki’s fit is reliable for the way most people will actually use it.

The Ida Wave is much more comfortable in bed than it is for walking around. Lying down, the slim internal arm is pretty comfortable, and the broad external arm distributes pressure evenly. But once I’m standing or walking, the toy starts to pull out, which can make it pinch uncomfortably.

In bed, the internal arm is slim enough that it doesn’t limit my movement as much as more bulbous internal arms. The external arm is broad enough that I can’t fully close my legs around it, but my legs help to keep it in place. And this breadth helps spread the pressure out instead of pinching, like the narrower Lovense Flexer can.

Walking around is the weak point. As the internal arm slowly works its way out, it can press uncomfortably against my pubic bone. So if mobile comfort is your priority, try a panty vibrator like the Lovense Ferri or egg vibrator like the Lovense Lush Mini instead. Or try wearing them both at the same time for dual-stimulation that’s more comfy to wear around.

The Ida Wave is best treated as an in-bed wearable.

The Niki is one of the most comfortable panty vibrators I’ve tested, and the comfort holds up just as well when I’m moving around as it does lying in bed.

That’s less common than you’d expect. Most panty vibrators are noticeably less comfortable during light activity than lying down – mostly because toys can poke or apply uneven pressure when walking – but not for the Niki. The Niki’s broad, flexible, curved shape distributes pressure evenly across my body, so there’s no digging in, no pinching when I close my legs, and no uncomfortable tapping when I move. It blankets the area rather than pressing into a single spot.

One wear note: I find the Niki most comfortable when worn upside-down (so the charging port end is facing upward), with the toy’s curve wrapping up around my pubic bone. The reverse orientation is still great, but “upsidown” is slightly more comfortable and stimulating for me.

The Lelo Ida Wave is very discreet – especially surprising since toys with motion are typically loud.

When held in the open air, the decibel readings are somewhat loud on paper – about 45 dBA on low and 56 dBA on high. But once you’re actually wearing the toy, the body dampens both the vibration and the motion noise substantially.

The Ida Wave was fully masked at every power level in our Background Noise Masking subtest. In this part of the test, I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away and we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). He couldn’t hear the Ida Wave at any strength under any of our three tested background volumes – and even when he stepped right next to me to check the sound, he could only pick up the vibrations, not the rotating motion at all.

Behind a closed bedroom door, the Ida Wave was also inaudible. For this part of the test, my partner listens directly outside our bedroom door while I use the toy in bed. I use it like a handheld toy since wearing dampens sound, and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position wearables or use some of them handheld. Holding the toy instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Ida Wave at any setting from behind the door.

The Ida Wave is the quietest of my strong dual-stimulation wearables.

The VeDO Niki is a very quiet panty vibrator – one of the areas it outperforms the Lovense Ferri a bit. Decibel readings on both low and high power were too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to pick up on – the ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and the Niki never measured higher than this.

It’s in the most discreet group of wearables I’ve tested for our Background Noise Masking subtest. I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away and we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). My partner couldn’t hear the Niki at any vibration strength under any of our three tested volumes of background noise. It is definitely audible in our room without any background audio playing – but every wearable vibrator I’ve tested is audible in a fully silent room, no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.

For our closed-bedroom-door test, my partner stands directly outside the bedroom while I use the toy in bed. I use it like a handheld toy since wearing dampens sound, and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around – holding it instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. My partner couldn’t hear the Niki on its low or middle power levels. He could just barely hear it on high in our completely silent house – pretty faint, and easily masked by cars passing by outside. When I re-checked while actually wearing the Niki, the sound was significantly dampened and he couldn’t hear it on any setting.

The Lelo Ida Wave lasted 135 minutes at top power in our testing – the longest battery life of any dual-stimulation wearable I’ve tested. And since you’ll spend plenty of time on lower and middle settings too, real-world runtime is typically longer. That’s plenty of time, even if you sometimes forget to charge between uses.

The Niki has a short battery life. It lasted 55 minutes continuously running at its highest power during our test – below the higher-end panty vibrators. Since you’ll use the Niki’s lower power levels too, your real-use runtime will likely be longer.

If long battery life is a priority, go with the Lovense Ferri – it lasted 168 minutes during our test, about three times the Niki’s runtime.

The Lelo Ida Wave is very easy to clean. It’s IPX7 waterproof, so you can rinse it under a running faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water without worrying about water damage.

Cleaning the Niki is straightforward in practice, but our rating is conservative because we couldn’t confirm the toy’s exact waterproof status. VeDO lists it as “splashproof – suitable for shower” on their site, which usually corresponds to an IPX5 or IPX6 rating. Products with those ratings are safe to clean under a running faucet or use in the shower, but IPX4 products (which are also sometimes called “splashproof”) are not. We emailed VeDO to confirm the exact IPX rating and didn’t hear back, so we rated the Niki’s cleaning based on not being able to run it under a faucet.

In practice I do run most of the Niki under a faucet without being especially careful, just keeping water away from the charging port and wiping that area with a cloth. I haven’t encountered any issues.

The Ida Wave’s build quality is excellent. I’ve owned my Ida Wave since 2022, and it’s continued to operate as expected. The silicone is smooth, the shiny plastic top has stayed scratch-free with normal use, and the seams between materials are tight. The flex point between the internal and external arms feels solidly built, with no loosening or signs of strain.

The Niki feels well-built. It’s coated in smooth silicone with a small plastic section around the charging port, and the toy’s slight flex feels sturdy and adds to its comfort. I’ve had mine since 2021 and it’s continued to operate as expected. The plastic remote is very lightweight and cheap-feeling, but it functions well.
