This ain’t no orchestra and I’m not a conductor, however at this time we’ll be navigating the expertise of the Crescendo 2. First, you might be questioning, “Ariana, what are you doing right here?” My specialty lies in WIRED’s sleep-related content material as a skilled 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 technique to calm down and unwind, so is intercourse. As bodily features, they’re each crucial and integral for the wholesome functioning of a lot of our methods.
And the very 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 seeking to take issues into their very own arms, the ob-gyn-designed Crescendo 2 is likely one of 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 fantastically complicated, with rising analysis pointing to it having nicely over 10,000 nerve endings. To not point out the truth that each physique kind is totally different. Nevertheless, the Crescendo 2 can cowl the clitoris, labia, vagina, and perineum in a single fell swoop.
This vibrator is, in a phrase, girthy. The principle shaft is 8.7 inches lengthy, 1.7 inches vast, and 1.8 inches tall. Two clitoral stimulators sit on the prime like fins. The tip level design is supposed to imitate two-finger insertion, and the shaft may be bent into numerous shapes—particularly, the letters I, C, U, L, O, or S. This fashion, you possibly can 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 gadget. 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). Quite, each creates a touchpoint of stimuli particularly round extremely delicate zones—MysteryVibe says that is clinically confirmed to assist deal with points like pelvic ache and dryness.

That is only one facet of the design that makes the Crescendo 2 stand out. The true magic, in my view, is the app characteristic that permits you to regulate every of the six motors individually. Whereas the buttons on the facet may help you regulate depth or change up vibrational patterns, it is not essentially intuitive to achieve for that within the warmth of the second. To actually benefit from the full extent of what the gadget has to supply, obtain the MysteryVibe app forward of time and Bluetooth-sync it to your gadget. Upon unboxing, plug it right into a USB port for an hour with the hooked up charger—as soon as absolutely charged, you’ve got received two hours of utilization.
With the app, you may make one motor roughly intense relying on what you favor. Along with this individualistic motor strategy, the app additionally has a vibration sample library the place you possibly can obtain preset patterns. You may fine-tune your search by looking for patterns that provide issues which might be extra your pace, from sluggish pulsations to sensations simply across the edges of the gadget.
What’s actually spectacular is that you simply even have the choice to customise your personal, bringing an entire new facet of individualistic and customizable expertise to the desk. The synchronicity of the app and gadget lets you determine what feels best for you as you combine and match the motors to create your “vibe.” It is a cheeky means of claiming that you may regulate 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 characteristic. That is significantly useful if and whenever 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 technique 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 test 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” attributable to its capacity 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 interior 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 best to perform—specifically, 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 nicely be due to my anatomy, but it surely does problem MysteryVibe’s declare of the Crescendo 2’s toy configurations being “infinite.”
The clitoral stimulation items on the prime 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 dimension, would I get the total package deal of advantages this vibrator gives? However given that is imagined to be a “one dimension matches all” strategy, I can perceive why MysteryVibe designed the Crescendo 2 the best way they did.
“Completely different strokes for various people” could be very on the nostril when not solely discussing the customization the design gives you, however the pulse settings as nicely. You may actually get inventive and experiment with what you want, which makes it that rather more thrilling for partnered use—talking from private testing, in fact. 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 up your sleeve; I positive did. I can’t verify nor deny the customized vibe patterns we got here up with are offshoots of Mad Max sayings, but it surely’s one other kind of bonding exercise to create that kind of inside joke. So many puns, so little time!
One other declare that popped out at me was that, in line with 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 robust. In reality, you might be ruining all different vibrators for your self going ahead, as a result of this one units the bar so excessive.
