We-Vibe Sync Review: Meet The 'Holy Grail' Of Sex Toys For Couples

Take the We-Vibe Sync: Its a couples vibrator that Archie Bongiovanni, a sex educator at Minneapolis-based sex shop (who uses they/them pronouns), calls "the holy grail of sex toys." Here's why:

Why People Love The We-Vibe Sync

Its hands-free
Its great for couples
It has nice, rumbly vibrations

The We-Vibe Sync makes sex more fun for everyone involved. "Most vibrators target the clitoris alone," Bongiovanni explains. But the Sync has two ends: one that inserts into someones vagina and one that hugs their clitoris. Both ends vibrate, and "that allows the penis to also feel the vibration," they explain.

But dont worry, even if there are no penises involved in your relationship the Sync still does wonders for your sex life. Maybe the dildo in your strap-on wont feel the vibration like a flesh-and-blood penis would, but the Sync still gives you a hands-free way to stimulate your partners clit while you thrust and grind.

And it's those deep, rumbly vibrations that makes the Sync wayyy better than most other sex toys for couples. In fact, Bongiovanni prefers this one to others in the We-Vibe line because of the strength of the vibes. "We-Vibe has been playing with insertable toys to be worn during penetrative sex for a long time, and I think totally nailed this one, Bongiovanni says.

Other vibes can have a buzzy feeling instead, which is more surface-level stimulation. The Syncs rumbly vibrations dive deeper into the flesh and hit all parts of a persons clit-even the internal bits. And that makes for a d*mn good time.

Bongiovanni suggests using this toy the classic way-inserted into a vagina during penetrative sex-but also thinking outside the box. You can wear it underneath a strap-on harness so the penetrative partner gets a little pleasure, too. Or, you can wear it out in public and have a sexy secret between you and your partner. "Whether you want to go to the club or spice up dinner, the adjustability means itll stay in place," Bongiovanni. "And its a very quiet toy, so no one will be the wiser." (Tbh, phew.)

Where It Falls Flat

It isnt super strong (unless you use your hands)
Its a bit pricey

At $199, We-Vibes Sync is certainly an investment. So if youre new to couples' sex toys, you might want to try a cheaper version first (something like Satisfyers Partner Plus at $50), just to see if you like the feeling. Then, you can graduate to the Sync.

But if youre hoping for a truly hands-free vibrator that packs as powerful a punch as anything you can press into your clit, youre out of luck. "No hands-free toy is going to give the direct clitoral pressure many want during sex," Bongiovanni says. "When using this toy, I often use a finger to press the top vibration down to feel it more intensely."

The Game-Changing Features

Its ultra-adjustable
It connects to an app

This might seem totally obvious, but no two bodies are the same size or shape. The length of a toy's shaft and the angle between the internal and external parts might be perfect for one body, but its a total miss for someone else.

Thats not an issue with the Sync. "This toy has two separate joints that allow it to move and stick in a whole variety of ways," Bongiovanni explains. "It stays in place when you change positions, and you can really make sure its hitting exactly where you want the vibrations to hit."

Speaking of vibrations: Imagine putting a sex toy inside yourself and then letting your partner take over the controls. Thats 100 percent doable if you connect the Sync to We-Vibes We-Connect app. "This app is SO FUN," Bongiovanni says. They love using the app during penetrative sex to control the speed and pattern of the vibrations without having to reach down and touch the toy.

And that feature is especially awesome if youre in a long-distance relationship, like Bongiovanni once was. "The app was so fun to use together, even while we were apart. You can create a whole variety of vibrations and control the two motors in the toy separately," they say. "We could message, hear each other, or video chat through the We-Connect App while using the toy. Its honestly the toy that just keeps giving."

The bottom line: The We-Vibe Sync is a unique and versatile sex toy for couples, but it's not super powerful and may not be the best choice for first timers.
