Sex toys still have a bit of a sleazy reputation. Our video blogger Stephanie Tresch thinks that’s silly. To save you from buying a pig in a poke, she unboxed the We-Vibe Sync and has some advice on how to use it.

The We-Vibe Sync’s predecessor is not just a hit with our customers but also enjoys widespread popularity around the world. In other words, expectations are high when it comes to this model. Will the U-shaped vibrator meet couples’ expectations? We’ll let you be the judge of that.

Long-distance sex

The box does not give away its contentUnboxing unveils the We-Vibe Sync as a u-shaped object

This is how the toy is used: One part is inserted into the vagina, the other stays outside of the body. As this is pretty tricky to explain in written form, Stephanie has prepared a more detailed explanation for you in the above video (in German). It also shows you how the We-Vibe Sync can be used as a sex toy for couples.

The box includes a sample sachet of lube. According to a friend of Stephanie’s, the We-Vibe Sync works best with a lot of lube. Therefore, we recommend stocking up on some more.

Safety warning

After a talk at the international hacker conference DEFCON last year, We-Vibe not only destroyed user data and paid compensation but also introduced an option to the app that allows users to disable data collection.

Due to its security policy, the app does not allow you to take screenshots. I therefore used our editorial camera to take photos of the apps. Admittedly, the screenshots look a bit rubbish but I hope they help clarify things.

How to switch off data collection

The frequently ignored note when starting the app

However, the fact remains that this data is collected in your nether regions while you’re having sex alone or as a couple. You might not be comfortable with that.

  1. In the app menu, go to "settings"
  2. Click on “privacy” at the bottom
  1. Slide the button to “Off”
  1. Done

And now have fun. Alone or in pairs. And don’t forget to clean your toy after every use!
