Did someone call for a waterproof submersible wand vibrator? Your call has been answered: the Viben Sultry.
Viben is a woman owned & operated sex toy company with a variety of vibrating pleasure products. I fell in love with them when I first saw the beautiful colors they use on their products, and that love continued to grow as I tried more and more of their toys. You might remember my review of the Viben Sympthony, a dual stimulator that I swooned over. I’ve also tried some of their butt plugs and one of their bullet vibes!
Let’s Talk About Viben Sultry
Sultry is a ruby red wand style vibrator with 20 functions and 8 variable speeds. It is rechargeable and fully waterproof submersible, with an IPX 7 rating. It’s made with body-safe silicone and offers rumbly vibrations with no vibration transfer to the ergonomic handle. The Viben Sultry also includes a memory chip feature that allows you to pick up where you left off.
One of the neat things about the Viben Sultry is that those 8 speeds can be used on any of the 20 different functions. That’s 160 different options for pleasure in one single vibrator.
This wand has a smaller head than the Original Magic Wand, with a 2.13″ width. It is 12.68″ long and weighs 12 oz, making it shorter and lighter weight than the Rechargeable Magic Wand as well.
Pros:
- Fully waterproof submersible
- Rumbly vibrations have minimal transfer to handle
- Light weight
- Beautiful color
- 20 total functions (1 steady and 19 patterns)
- Ergonomic handle is easy to hold
- Less than $100 is a great price for this wand
- Flexible neck
- Quiet
Cons:
- 20 functions is a LOT to cycle thru if you accidentally click the middle pattern change button
- Buttons are hard to navigate during use until you get used to them
- Head is too small to use with any of the Le Wand or other standard size wand toppers
How to Care For & Charge
I’m a sucker for a waterproof vibrator, as it makes them much easier to clean! There’s no worry about moving the head the wrong way and getting water inside. Wash with your favorite toy cleaner or a gentle, unscented soap and warm water, or clean with a 10% bleach/water mixture. Be sure to let your wand dry fully before plugging it in to charge.
The charging port is located on the back of the handle towards the bottom, below the “DC” mark. Insert the charging cord and plug into a USB outlet or plug. The middle button on the front of the wand will flash as the wand is charging. Once fully charged, the light will go steady. Charging time is 3.5 hours, which should last for about 3 hours of use.
Use a water-based or hybrid lubricant with this wand, as silicone lubricants may damage the silicone.
Using the Viben Sultry
Once the Viben Sultry wand is fully charged, press and hold the top power button for 3 seconds to power on. The middle button will cycle through the 20 different vibration patterns and the bottom button will cycle through the 8 different speeds.
When you power off the vibrator, the memory function will resume the last function used.
My Experience
I’ve had the Viben Sultry for over a year now, and while I’ve been slow to review it, it has gotten its fair share of use in the bedroom. It hasn’t been my go-to wand (that’s the Blush Wellness Eternal Wand), but it’s not like I reach for wands first anyway. That being said, this has been my go-to vibrator for when I want to rub one out in the bath. So much so that I keep it charged and sitting by the bathtub so it’s always ready to go when I want it. Using it in the bathtub was nice, because it’s so quiet that even once it goes underwater, it doesn’t really make much noise.
I did make one big mistake recently when using the Viben Sultry in the bathtub: I used it while I had a glitter bath bomb in the tub, and it took more washes than I care to admit to get all the glitter off of it. Oops!
What I like most about the Viben Sultry is the wide range of intensities and the ergonomic handle. Sultry has more intensities than the VIM wand and Rechargeable Magic Wand, but fewer than the Le Wand Rechargeable. The handle wasn’t quite as easy to hold as the Blush Wellness Eternal Wand, but Sultry doesn’t have a curved handle. For a handle that is straight, I did find that there were more comfortable points to hold it vs most full size wands.
Oh! How could I forget a very important feature: the minimal vibration transfer to the handle! Viben lived up to this marketing claim and gosh, it is a nice feature. With many wands, vibrations travel to the handle and give me a case of “vibe hands” where my handles feel a bit tickly and holding the vibe becomes uncomfortable at a point. However, Viben Sultry packs good power into this wand while actually minimizing the amount of vibration transfer. There is still some transfer, but it’s so minimal that I can’t complain. I was really impressed with this and absolutely made it more comfortable to hold!
The time that I felt the vibrations transfer the most was when I was sort of sitting on the head of the vibe while sitting in my computer chair. I think this is more a case of my computer chair causing the transfer because when I lifted the handle away from the chair, I couldn’t feel the vibrations as much.
The size of the head on Viben Sultry was also pretty nice. As a plus size person, sometimes wands can get in the way during partnered play, But the slim handle and the slightly smaller than standard head size made it easier and more comfortable to fit between my body & my partner’s body.
I’m also such a sucker for the color of the wand! It’s a beautiful, vibrant ruby red. I was instantly attracted to the color!! Sultry is only available in the one color, so you just kind of have to deal with it if you don’t like it.
If I could make one change to the wand, I would change the buttons. They aren’t raised or easy to find when the vibe is powered on, and it was hard to pick the right button without pulling the wand away from my anatomy to look. Once I got used to the buttons, it got easier, but it was frustrating at first. I would make the buttons a bit raised or easily distinguished.
Final Thoughts on Viben Sultry
Given the price point of Viben Sultry, I feel pretty confident in saying that you may not find a better full size wand for the price. 8 speed intensities, 20 vibration functions, ergonomic handle, waterproof submersible, rechargeable, quiet, flexible neck, minimal vibration transfer… the pros of this wand absolutely outweigh the cons, IMO.
