This ain’t no orchestra and I’m not a conductor, however at the moment we’ll be navigating the expertise of the Crescendo 2. First, it’s possible you’ll be questioning, “Ariana, what are you doing right here?” My specialty lies in WIRED’s sleep-related content material as knowledgeable mattress tester and authorized sleep science coach, not as a intercourse toy reviewer. However, right here’s the factor: Intercourse and sleep are way more intertwined than we might imagine or give them credit score for. Whereas sleep is one strategy to calm down and unwind, so is intercourse. As bodily capabilities, they’re each needed and integral for the wholesome functioning of lots of our methods.
And the actual fact of the matter is that many ladies on the market aren’t absolutely having fun with the expertise, nor the advantages that come from having an orgasm. For these trying to take issues into their very own palms, the ob-gyn-designed Crescendo 2 is among the extra customizable vibrators available on the market.

In a crowded vibrator market, the Crescendo 2 stands out particularly for its ranges of customizability. The vagina is superbly advanced, with rising analysis pointing to it having effectively over 10,000 nerve endings. To not point out the truth that each physique kind is totally different. Nonetheless, the Crescendo 2 can cowl the clitoris, labia, vagina, and perineum in a single fell swoop.
This vibrator is, in a phrase, girthy. The primary shaft is 8.7 inches lengthy, 1.7 inches extensive, and 1.8 inches tall. Two clitoral stimulators sit on the high like fins. The top level design is supposed to imitate two-finger insertion, and the shaft will be bent into various shapes—particularly, the letters I, C, U, L, O, or S. This manner, you may customise it to not simply what you want and like, however your bodily type.
Together with the Crescendo 2’s flexibility, there are six motors alongside the size of the machine. These aren’t meant to be in extra, turbocharging your sensory expertise—you’re not a race automobile (although, hilariously, there’s a “Mad Max” vibrational setting). Reasonably, each creates a touchpoint of stimuli particularly round extremely delicate zones—MysteryVibe says that is clinically confirmed to assist tackle points like pelvic ache and dryness.

That is only one facet of the design that makes the Crescendo 2 stand out. The true magic, for my part, is the app function that lets you modify every of the six motors individually. Whereas the buttons on the facet will help you modify depth or change up vibrational patterns, it isn’t essentially intuitive to achieve for that within the warmth of the second. To essentially benefit from the full extent of what the machine has to supply, obtain the MysteryVibe app forward of time and Bluetooth-sync it to your machine. Upon unboxing, plug it right into a USB port for an hour with the connected charger—as soon as absolutely charged, you have bought two hours of utilization.
With the app, you may make one motor kind of intense relying on what you favor. Along with this individualistic motor strategy, the app additionally has a vibration sample library the place you may obtain preset patterns. You possibly can fine-tune your search by trying to find patterns that provide issues which can be extra your velocity, from gradual pulsations to sensations simply across the edges of the machine.
What’s actually spectacular is that you simply even have the choice to customise your personal, bringing a complete new facet of individualistic and customizable expertise to the desk. The synchronicity of the app and machine lets you determine what feels best for you as you combine and match the motors to create your “vibe.” It is a cheeky method of claiming that you would be able to modify every motor’s pulse depth and frequency. From there, the Crescendo 2 can retailer 12 vibrational patterns at a time, with 16 intensities. And sure, the preset patterns have intelligent names.
One other bonus is the Crescendo 2’s button locking function. That is significantly useful if and while you’re rendered low-key senseless throughout the throes of ardour and by chance hit a button. The button lock ensures you’re in your strategy to catapulting towards the end line as an alternative of dropping focus from the change of tempo. I’ve met many ladies the place reaching orgasm is a psychological hurdle, and one thing like an unintended vibe verify would throw them off. That is one much less tangible factor you would need to cope with.

MysteryVibe says the Crescendo 2 is “infinite toys in a single” as a result of its skill to be bent into numerous shapes. Since it’s formed considerably like two fingers, it is meant to imitate numerous hand shapes one could make use of throughout intercourse. Whereas it is malleable sufficient to bend the inner joints upward and downward, the vibrator isn’t meant to be twisted. Due to this, of the letters I discussed beforehand, a few of them weren’t essentially the simplest to perform—particularly, the “U.” Throughout my hands-on testing I discovered that this explicit form would not keep in place for me, but it was probably the most enjoyable one. Ugh! That might very effectively be due to my anatomy, however it does problem MysteryVibe’s declare of the Crescendo 2’s toy configurations being “infinite.”
The clitoral stimulation items on the high additionally did not do a lot for me, which matches again to the general size of this factor. I’ve to marvel, if it have been a barely smaller measurement, would I get the total bundle of advantages this vibrator affords? However given that is speculated to be a “one measurement matches all” strategy, I can perceive why MysteryVibe designed the Crescendo 2 the best way they did.
“Totally different strokes for various of us” may be very on the nostril when not solely discussing the customization the design affords you, however the pulse settings as effectively. You possibly can actually get inventive and experiment with what you want, which makes it that rather more thrilling for partnered use—talking from private testing, after all. Combine issues up on a whim, and by no means let your associate know your subsequent transfer. They could like what sort of vibes you’ve gotten up your sleeve; I certain did. I can’t verify nor deny the customized vibe patterns we got here up with are offshoots of Mad Max sayings, however it’s one other type of bonding exercise to create that type of inside joke. So many puns, so little time!
One other declare that popped out at me was that, based on MysteryVibe, the Crescendo 2 is many customers’ first-ever vibrator. I can say confidently that if this occurs to be you, you’re beginning off very sturdy. In reality, it’s possible you’ll be ruining all different vibrators for your self going ahead, as a result of this one units the bar so excessive.
