This vibrator is one that you could almost place in your cupboard as art. The Bloom brand has made this vibrator in a collection of beautifully-styled vibrators. While is it naturally important that a vibrator looks good, we were immediately curious whether this wand is as impressive in terms of performance.

Packaging and first impression
The first impression of this vibrator is extremely good. The very pleasant packaging makes unpacking it great fun. When my partner and I open the box and found a number of extra ‘goodies’, such as a storage bag and blindfold, we're totally happy. The vibrator itself looks as good in real life as it does on the photos and the material feels great.
Specifications
This nice blue wand is the average size for a wand vibrator. There are 5 speeds and 5 patterns which offers great freedom in terms of vibration possibilities. It is also waterproof, which is great during use but also when cleaning!
How does it work?
The wand has a button and a ‘swipe’ operation. Use the button to turn the vibrator on or off, and switch between various patterns. This works extremely well. You also have a swipe operation for the intensity of the vibrator. You can increase the intensity of the vibrator by swiping your finger from left to right over the wreath of leaves. Then do this again to go even more intense, or the opposite direction to make the vibrator less intense.
I found this manner of operation very cool, but in practice it was not very convenient for us. You have to swipe precisely over that place to get a reaction from the wand and certainly when there is lubricant on your hands it can be rather slippery to operate the vibrator this way. When you use the wand with a partner, it is sometimes hard to know if you have changed the wand settings or not. What is great, is that you can make the wand both more and less intense with this operation. This is not the case with all toys.
How does it feel?
The wand has a rather slow vibration, personally I did not think this was great, but I can imagine that this is not the case for everyone. What I did think was a real con, is that the vibrations were unevenly spread across the ‘tip’. The vibration can be felt well primarily at the top of the vibrator, but on the side this is instantly a lot less. I found this a shame, because of this you have to hold the vibrator in a rather specific position.
Conclusion
Personally, I would not recommend this wand. For this price many other wands can be purchased and I think also better ones. However, it is also comes down to what you think is good and important. In my opinion, the appearance was very appealing, if that is something you find important it could be your dream vibrator.
