We-Vibe Melt is an air pulsation clit stimulator that’s my #1 for over 3 years now: the best clit “sucking” orgasms, ever. You could say it’s blown my mind as well as my clitoris. Why?! Well, it’s both strong and shaped to fit in with vaginal stimulation, too, like using Melt during sex with a partner.
I first got interested in Melt by We-Vibe because it’s an app-controlled sex toy— back when I was in a long-distance relationship. Ironically, long-distance vibrator control is how I’ve used Melt least. Instead, Melt’s most exceptional as a solo pleasure device: me, my G-spot vibrator, and Melt.
Will it be the most comfortable Womanizer/Satisfyer-type clit toy for you? Melt is my best ever, but it has several cons:
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Great pulsing strength.
- Easiest suction toy during vaginal sex .
- Flexible oval mouth forms a better seal around the clitoris.
- Waterproof & USB rechargeable.
- + and – control buttons for simple speed changes.
Cons
- Optional We-Connect app can be glitchy & lose connectivity.
- Not cheap.
- Not the gentlest low speed: Too strong for some beginners. (If you are extra-sensitive clitorally, see air-pulse toys that begin closer to “0” [left side] here.)
- Not for anyone with a large clitoris (that really sticks out).
We-Vibe Melt ($149 MSRP; save 10% with code PHAL10) is smooth silicone that’s flexible at the mouth, which is 0.42″ wide × 0.65″ long inside. Magnetic rechargeable, it averages 2 hours run-time per recharge.

How-To Use We-Vibe Melt
The WeVibe Melt can be played with in all these ways:
- Clit stimulation only, Melt’s primary goal.
- Held on the clit during penis-in-vagina sex, for clitoral ooomph.
- Held on the clit during vaginal dildo-ing or G-spot vibrator use.
The Melt was designed as a “couples” toy: Crafted to not block precious space in front of the vagina—like Womanizer toys get in the way. In contrast, We-Vibe Melt is compact, not bulky; slimline; and wraps upward around the mons pubis. It’s a fantastic design, beautifully thought-out: Which you’d assume should be the norm for sex toys over $100, but isn’t always the case.
To start playing with the We-Vibe Melt:
- Apply a couple drops of lubricant inside its air pulse “mouth” (the open oval).
- Press down on the Melt’s plus (+) button, and the air pressure will begin!
- Place the Melt’s mouth over your clitoris, spreading your outer labia if needed. You do not need to retract your clitoral hood.
- Start on the lowest level, and continue pressing + whenever you want more strength. Or, if it gets too strong, of course use the (–) button!
- It’s common to feel super-duper sensitive when you come, especially on an air pulse toy. Hit the minus control button 2 to 5 times quickly as you reach climax. (You’ll be more likely to have multiple Os this way.)
For me, the We-Vibe Melt is best as a gradual escalation from function #3 to function #8. Some people will orgasm almost immediately on its pinpoint power; others will prefer an edging experience: strengthening the Melt, clenching, backing down, and increasing power again, repeatedly—until they can’t stand it anymore and cum hard.
The Melt is incredible as a clit toy if you like vaginal play too: Melt + internal stimulation really cranks up the WOW factor for blended orgasms. 😵 Just hold the Melt in your left (or non-dominant) hand, as you thrust a dildo or hold a G-spot vibrator with your right / dominant hand.
Air Pulse Functions & Strength
The We-Vibe Melt has 12 functions of air pulsation / a.k.a. air pulse stimulation. What’s that? It’s technically not a vibrator: the Melt emits quick puffs of air from its nonporous ABS plastic channel.
That pulsing-air pressure feels more intense than vibration, and targets the clitoris more directly. Orgasms are 100% a guarantee for me.
We-Vibe Melt scores from 3.0 to 9.25 (out of 10), low to high speeds, on my air pulsation intensity scale, compared against products by Womanizer, Satisfyer, and more. At a 3/10 starting speed, it’s pretty gentle but not so whispy gentle as a Womanizer Premium ($199) or a Satisfyer Pro 2 ($39.99) on low intensity. If you are very sensitive to direct clit stimulation, the Melt could feel overpowering as a first air pulse toy; check out any Satisfyer Curvy for a more low-key starter “suction” toy.
We-Vibe Melt is covered in silicone outside. It’s a body-safe (functionally nonporous) polymer; and the only (possibly) *soft* sex toy material that remains safe for long-term use, as its molecules repel water and bacterial growth. (More on how to clean, below.)
My We-Vibe Melt Experience
I’ve used the Melt’s air pulse power here, there, and everywhere. How to summarize 42 months of pleasure, into a couple hundred words? The We-Vibe Melt is just… a standby. Old faithful. Hundreds of very satisfying orgasms: after I spent the first couple weeks learning to enjoy its intensity, back in 2019!
I began writing this updated Melt review after I lost my Melt temporarily. Sad times. I’d been testing the Womanizer Classic 2 faithfully, and was very pleased with how thuddy its air pulses are. But, it just doesn’t fit into my Pillow Talk Sassy G-spot play so well as the We-Vibe Melt does. I’d set my Melt aside to dry in the fold of a clean towel the same color as it… and it got shoved behind a couple other toys.
…So, I found myself searching all over my bedroom & bath the next week, tryna figure out how to compensate for its loss. I simply do not own any other air pulsing toy that’s so damn good alongside vaginal play, out of the seventy-something air pulse toys in my collection now. I was just about ready to buy a new We-Vibe Melt, when I checked that darn navy towel a fourth time and decided to fully lie it flat. Eureka!!!
Simply, the Melt is irreplaceable. A quick pick-me-up for my clit.
My favorite thing is to combine it with the Pillow Talk Sassy, as mentioned. For me the combo is better than the $219 Womanizer Duo, since I can thrust the Sassy for better G-spot stimulation (I can’t thrust the Duo’s slimmer vibrating shaft well).
It is absolutely possible to use Melt during sex: This is great for anyone who wants a lot more stimulation, beyond their partner’s penis. It’s not going to desensitize you to enjoying “normal” toy-less sex; it’s just a way to add more, extra fun.
The trick to using an air pulse clit toy during sex is that you don’t want to be fast-fucking. Long, high-speed strokes are more likely to throw off the Melt’s focus over the clit, its “seal.” That seal doesn’t need to be perfect, I can still feel the Melt when it’s not pressed down firmly on my vulva. But, the air pulse is more intense, more consistent, when well-sealed. For grinding sex, me & my boyfriend have found Melt easiest when I’m riding cowgirl, so I do have control over the speed and the angle of the Melt. Slow & steady rocking = indescribable blended orgasms.
And it’s cool for foreplay, too, with him watching me and/or using another toy himself. The only act I really do not like with WeVibe’s Melt is letting any partner hold it against my body: it’s much more frustrating as I wait for another human to figure out my correct positioning at any given second. And the Melt is best with that consistent contact.
Clit-Fit & Comfort
The We-Vibe Melt has an ovoid mouth, like all newer Womanizer toys. This makes sense, because the clitoris is actually longer than it is wide, plus the internal clit extends much longer: under the vulva, extending toward the vagina.
The Melt’s “mouth” opening is a medium-firm silicone, ≈20A Shore durometer; but flexible because it’s a thin “lip.” This flexibility makes the Melt’s seal feel more natural, IMO.
At ≈0.42 inches diameter across its mouth, and with ≈0.5 inch easily penetrable depth, Melt’s opening is sized for most people. (Average clitoral diameter ranges from 0.13 – 0.2 inches across.) I love Melt’s clit-fitting feel. But, anyone with an above-average clitoris that sticks out prominently when aroused will be better served by a Satisfyer: either the classic Pro 2, or the Curvy 1 is even wider with a deeper channel to penetrate.
We-Connect App Control: Eh.
We-Vibe’s We-Connect app is… OK. It’s not great. It’s always been glitchier than the Lovense app for me and my partner; and was a nightmare 2017 to late 2019 when I was trying to play long-distance a lot. Near 2020, the app appearance changed, and we could actually connect easily via the app, for him to control my We-Vibe toys. Even then, the app was prone to disconnecting randomly after 10 or 20 minutes.
I’d try it with my new partner, but, based on how the “upgraded Bluetooth” of the Moxie+ still isn’t always staying connected with my own damn phone while I’m walking around: I have no love for the We-Connect app, and don’t want to even bother.
That said, custom air-pulse patterns are now possible through the We-Connect app. So, if you’d like different rhythms, not just predictable pulsing, then it’s worth trying in your bedroom. If your thighs aren’t blocking between Melt and your phone, you’ll probably have a stable Bluetooth connection.
Care & Cleaning
Is the We-Vibe Melt waterproof? Yes, IPX7 waterproof submersible. (That’s excellent, because you might be getting it very wet.) It’s suitable for use in the shower or in the bathtub.
To clean:
- Run the We-Vibe Melt under running water in your sink, squirting soap into its air-pulse channel.
- Run your finger around inside, if lubricant remains.
- If lube remains, or you use it during your period especially, use a damp Q-tip to remove any drippage down the channel. Fluids can be washed out with just water, but they’ll come out better if you use a Q-tip on that seam where the Melt’s silicone body and plastic “throat” meet.
- After washing for a minute, shake water out of the mouth. (Jerk it, mouth pointing downward.) Water will sit inside if you skip this step.
- Let air-dry, preferably mouth-down on a clean towel.
We-Vibe warranties each Melt for 2 years, meaning they’ll replace it if it breaks (as long as you have a proof of purchase / email confirmation from a reputable online seller). My first, pink Melt lasted just slightly longer than 2 years, and my navy Melt is runnin’ strong after a year plus.
Melt Recap & Ranking
The Melt by We-Vibe is 100% awesome if you want a strong air pulse stimulator, and especially the best ever if you’re looking to fit it into vaginal sex / G-spot play, at the same time as the Melt’s power-pulses. I’ve used it roughly 50 times more than any Womanizer toy I own because of the Melt’s easier shape.
During the 1 month out of the last 42 months I’ve owned a Melt, and I lost it, my sex routine had an absolute void in it. (I was about to buy a new one when my misplaced Melt appeared, like magic!!!🪄)
It’s so streamlined, it makes Satisfyers and Womanizers look awkwardly clunky. The Melt’s body shape has never been equaled by any other air pulse toymaker. Overall, I want to give it a perfect rating, because so many orgasms: But the “eh” app control, and the bit of work cleaning it, bring my rating down to 4.8 out of 5 stars.

Hello. Great review.
I have a question about comparing Melt and Penguin. I know that these are products from a different price range, but is it worth replacing the penguin with melt?
Hmm! It depends on how particular you are about fit, and how happy you are with the Pro Penguin already. For me, the Penguin’s rounded-box-shaped mouth is a bit large, but I really don’t like how the edges feel against my vulva.
The Penguin is easier to grip compared to Womanizer toys (I’m deviating from the Melt here!), and of course it’s super-cute.
The Melt’s highest couple speeds are definitely faster. Like, they *pop* more.
🙂 My wife using the penguin reaches max in 2 minutes from level 0.
If she starts using melt, then maybe he will go down to less than a minute 🙂
I have the My-G by Adrien Lastic. After reading this, I’m now considering getting the Melt too. In terms of the sensation for the clit stimulation only, do you think they might be too similar to be worth it?
I’ve also read your other article comparing the Melt with the Lelo Sona 2/Cruise, so I’m considering that as well. I’d like to try another clit stimulator that feels more different from My-G. Which of these 2 would you choose?
Wonderful work you’ve done here reviewing toys for those of us who can’t afford them all!
The My-G is definitely a lot different than either Melt or Sona. I think the MyG feels lighter in terms of how strong the air flow is. The Melt will have much higher intensities for sure. The Sona 2 doesn’t quite have to the lower-to-higher range that the Melt does. The Sona’s mouth is smaller for sure, especially smaller than the MyG, but Sona 2 also has that raised rim that I’m personally not a fan of for comfort reasons. (It may be less bothersome to other people.)
The Melt and then the Womanizer Classic 2 are the air pulse toys I use regularly; I think they’re different enough (since the Melt is a litle more forceful, and easier to use along with a G-spot vibrator; whereas the Classic has more *thuddy* pulses).
Thank you so much for reading!!!
I have been reading your reviews and considering an air pulse toy for a while now. I only use toys during “piv” sex with my husband. The only one I really use (and love) is the Pillow Talk Sassy clitorally during sex. Every now and then I wish it were just a bit more powerful on the upper end, but I like that it’s gentle to start. Reviews seem to suggest the Melt is kind of the inverse of that in that it’s fairly strong on low, but “sky’s the limit” on power.
My question about the Melt is: how strong/intense is the sensation on the lowest setting vs the Sassy? Your reviews show a power range of 5.0-8.25 on the Sassy and the Melt range is a 3.0-9.25. Does this mean the Melt is more gentle on low vs the sassy, or do you use a different scale to rate air pulse toy intensity?
Second question, if you’re up for it. If you were looking for a small rumbly cordless and fairly quiet wand to use during sex—one with just a bit more power than the sassy when needed—which would you pick? The sassy may be the best out there for this purpose for ME, but I’m always curious what else may be out there.
Thank you.

Hi!!! Yes, the trouble with comparing is that it’s not “apples & oranges” when it comes to comparing vibration to air pulse, it’s like… apples and coconuts. They’re so different. The Melt has more dramatic focus for sure even on the low speed. But then again, it’s more troublesome to keep that focus situated during sex between two people, so I personally wouldn’t recommend the Melt as a surefire stimulator during partnered sex. Moving its mouth even a quarter-inch in any direction can totally change how the stimulation feels.
Some air pulse toys have vibration as well, but Melt does not.
PalmPower Recharge (reviewed here) is IMO the best during-sex wand. Handle is maybe a lil harder to grip vs. Sassy, but it’s very compact and has a lot of adjustable range.
Thank you a ton for reading and I hope this helps!!!
This is so helpful, thank you. I’ve been reluctant to purchase an air pulse toy as I exclusively use toys during actual intercourse. I’ve been reading mixed reviews regarding how much work it take to make that possible. What we love about the sassy, other than the sensations it delivers externally during sex, is the simplicity of just hitting a button and not having to think about it except to just hit it again when you want more. I’ll look into the PalmPower.
Question: Svakom? Why are there so few reviews out there on the brand? Any chance you’ve tried the Amy (2) or Cici (2) and can comment on their vibe quality and use for the situations I’ve mentioned? Sometimes the only way to know is to try, but figured I’d ask.
Thanks again. Your site is a great resource!

I’ve been reading a bunch on the PalmPower devices. Look very good, but build quality seems maybe not as good as others, and that little lip on the recharge is odd. Looking at power and rumbly comparisons, what about the wevibe wand? Seems about the same power and and rumble quality as the PP Recharge, no? Are they fairly comparable that way, other than the slightly bigger head? The WV wand is half off right now! Thanks!
The We-Vibe Wand is massive compared to the PalmPower Recharge, so it’s definitely apples and oranges. The We-Vibe Wand doesn’t have the “compact power” appeal that the PalmPower R. does in terms of ease of use during sex, but if just for solo play, then it’s fine. Here’s a side by side photo.
IMO the slight lip on the PalmPower’s cap is not noticeable until you’re stroking the wand head off against the vulva, while completely shaved, rather than holding it still.
The Palmpowers are fantastic as long as the user isn’t a hard grinder. If they are, putting a ton of pressure on the vibrator’s head and neck, then they’re likely to break a PalmPower within several months. Magic Wands (Vibratex) are the least defect-prone if someone is a hard grinder like that.
My We-Vibe Wand’s silicone delaminated pretty early and it feels more gummy than I’d expect. There may be some sort of elastomer layer under the head, since it has a squishy feel that’s different from the firm silicone coating the Wand. I may cut into it after I take photos with the new version, for curiosity’s sake. We-Vibe does probably the price low because they’re trying to get rid of the first We-Vibe Wand. It’s a pretty good motor, but $189 was way too high a price point. The new version will be launched later this year. I haven’t heard specific feedback yet on how it’s different. It’ll probably be overpriced as well.
I think the new Swan wand vibrator that BMS will be releasing soon just blows the original We-Vibe Wand out of the water. It’s almost excessively rumbly. I’ve never cum before from holding a toy against my neck, but this did it. It has a head that’s 2″ across, but a shorter handle.
New wand, BMS motor, 2” head, shorter, presumably lighter. Holy shit. Can’t wait! Thank you for all your super helpful feedback!!
