It’s hard to avoid the space puns when reviewing a toy called Nova, so we’re just going to get it all out of our system now: Blast off! Take a rocket to the orgasm zone! An explosion of pleasure awaits!
There, that’s better. Now we can get into the review.
The Basics and Not-So-Basics
The Nova is basically We-Vibe’s take on the rabbit-style vibrator, featuring dual vibrating heads — one for vaginal stimulation and one for clitoral stimulation. We say “rabbit-style” because in the original dual-head vibrators, the smaller arm was often shaped like a rabbit with ticky vibrating “ears.”
It’s sheathed in hot pink silicone, with a contrasting white silicone handle. The advertising copy says its waterproof and encourages you to take it into the bath or shower, and the silicone sheathing means you’re less likely to lose your grip while fooling around.
How it Works
Each head’s vibration pattern and strength can be independently controlled either by buttons on the toy’s handle or via the We-Connect smartphone app. There are dozens of pattern variations to play with. The shorter clitoral arm is highly flexible, allowing it to stay in contact with your tender parts even as you move around. It also delivers consistently stronger vibrations than the g-spot arm.
The Nova isn’t quite “whisper-quiet” as advertised, but it’s still pretty low-noise. Especially compared to other toys on the market, so no worries that your neighbors might catch on to what you’re doing (although your moans of pleasure might still give it away).
The “Ins and Outs”
The controls are fairly intuitive – up and down to increase or decrease vibration strength, left or right to change the vibration pattern. You might have better luck finding them by feel than by sight however, as they’re little more than bumps and divots. In fact, it’s easy to mistake the little magnetic recharging port (clever!) for the control buttons if you’re the type who prefers to ditch the manual and dive in. Alas, pressing that shiny metal port will do you no good whatsoever.
That’s right — like other We-Vibe toys, Nova doesn’t require external batteries and is instead rechargeable via USB port. There’s a handy indicator light that will flash when you’re running low on power, which shouldn’t happen often, as Nova holds a charge for about two hours at a go. (It does take a full 90 minutes to recharge, though.)
The WeVibe App
Like other We-Vibes, you can sync this up to your smartphone via a downloadable app. You can only sync up one We-Vibe toy at a time to the app, and the sync process can sometimes be a little tricky. But once you’re hooked up, you also have the option of letting your long-distance lover (whether they’re a room away or across the country) control your toy. It makes cam dates much more entertaining, I bet.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been looking for a classier version of the classic rabbit vibe – or one that was waterproof – look no further. Nova is the toy you’ve been waiting for. If you find multiple points of stimulation more distracting than satisfying, or if you’re looking for deep, focused G-spot stimulation, the Nova probably isn’t for you.
I wouldn’t recommend a toy this pricey for rabbit-style newbies (test-drive a cheaper version first), but if you’re a double-your-pleasure fan looking for an upgrade, the Nova just might become your new best friend! The Nova retails for $149 and shipping is free on orders within the US over $50.
