Mystery Vibe Crescendo Review

My Mystery Vibe Crescendo Review is a little mix of everything, which is fitting, because the Crescendo is a little mix of everything as well. When the people at Luvoqa contacted me about reviewing the Crescendo, I was intrigued and said yes immediately. The actual toy has been a mixed bag, but overall, I’m a fan.

Unboxing the Crescendo

The Crescendo packaging is some of the best I’ve seen. It comes in a beautiful black box, and the whole thing just screams elegance. Can you even scream “elegance,” or is that an oxymoron? Regardless, it’s a sexy box.

Inside, you have the actual toy, along with the charging pad and a black cushioned case for storage.

The case is beautiful. It has ribbons to tie it closed, and it’s just overall a class act. It looks like you have just paid several hundred dollars for a sex toy, and frankly, you have.

The Crescendo itself comes in either purple or teal. It’s moderately long, somewhat thin, and tapered at one end.

What’s really exciting about it, though, it’s a completely posable vibrator. It is segmented, and you can bend the toy into a variety of cool shapes. You can’t bend it sideways, so don’t try, but you can otherwise shape it into an S, or a U, or my favorite, the angled L. the acute angle. Whatever you want to call it, I like it.

To charge the Crescendo, you don’t have to plug it into anything. It has a charging dock. You set the wider end of the Crescendo on the round pad, and plug the pad in, and the pad blinks green to let you know that it’s charging successfully.

Here it is on its charging pad. That’s the small black pad, not the larger coaster that I put drinks on at night.

There’s a bit of finagling to make sure it’s all lined up right. You can’t just set it and forget it like the Ronco rotisserie chicken cooker. But you don’t have to spear it with a charger to charge it, so that’s a really good thing.

 

The App and the Vibe

The vibrator also has six separate vibrators. Count ’em! Six! Now, the vibrator is an integration between its own internal functionality and the MysteryApp. With the MysteryApp, you can download a series of vibration patterns that activate the six vibrators in certain orders and strengths. As of right now, you can’t program your own vibrations, but according to the website, that’s coming. But the patterns on the app have a variety of options, which is pretty cool. I downloaded as many as the app would let me, and then once they’re downloaded, the app uses Bluetooth to talk to your Crescendo and you can use the buttons on the toy itself to cycle through the patterns. Or you can do it with the app, which is easier than figuring out which set of buttons to hit on the toy itself.

Let me pause for a minute to talk about the buttons on this vibrator. On one side, you have plus and minus, which increase the intensity on the basic vibration. On the other side, you have little arrows to rotate through the different patterns. But I can never remember which is which! So while i’m actually using the toy, I tend to rely on the app to switch patterns.

Using the Crescendo

So how is the vibrator itself? It’s pretty good! It’s not quiet, unfortunately; in fact, it’s decently loud. And it’s kind of buzzy. But the vibrations themselves are fairly strong. I like that I can shape it how I want it. The way I prefer is with a tiny curve to push against my g-spot, but the rest of the toy aligned outside to vibrate my clit.

The clit end of the Crescendo has two flexible fins on it, which I suppose are intended to stimulate the sides of the clitoris.

For me, they basically mean that the toy doesn’t press hard against the main head of my clit. It almost does. But if I want firm stimulation on my clit, I have to hold the Crescendo against my body. I want to use the toy as hands-free, and I can do that, but I have to keep my legs together. Insert whatever joke you want to use here about how hard it is for me to keep my legs together. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

You good? All right, continuing.

The variable vibrations are really nice. I love having six vibrators! I really can feel the distinct sections. Maybe not all six, but I can tell between at least three or four different areas of stimulation, and I like playing with the programs and finding one that stimulates me exactly as I want it. I can get off successfully with this toy.

QUIBBLES

My quibbles with the Crescendo are generally minor.

First, regarding design. Because of the nature of the Crescendo, it’s pretty thin in one axis. It’s aiming for width in the other, but it has to be mostly flat so you can bend it into different shapes. What this means, though, is that I can’t feel much of the inserted part. The most sensitive part of the interior vagina is the front wall where the g-spot is. That part responds to pressure, and the toy itself isn’t wide enough to give it steady pressure. Fortunately, the toy is bendable, and I can bend the very tip so it presses into my g-spot. It’s not the same as having a toy with girth inside me, but I understand why the Crescendo has to be the way it is.

Second, regarding technical performance. The app is going to be improved, I’m sure, but it’s a big problem to have the toy cut out if the screen on your phone goes off. Also, with Bluetooth technology, there’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to let a partner control my vibrator. Plus, I am anxiously awaiting the time when I can set up my own program for the six vibrators. I know that’ll be arriving in the future, but as for now, it feels incomplete as a program.

Finally, regarding functionality. The buttons on the side of the toy are hard to use. When I first turned the toy on, I accidentally locked it by holding two of the buttons at the same time, and it took me a while to figure out what I did wrong and why I couldn’t turn it off again. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to just put a power button on these toys, rather than rely on pushing other buttons. I’m going to lose that little instruction card that tells me how to lock and unlock it. Please, make it easy for me. I’m not always thinking with all brain cells when I go to use a sex toy.

Final Thoughts

I like the Crescendo. I think it’s trying to be a lot of different things at once, and most toys can’t do that. The Crescendo does it better than most. It’s not my best clit vibrator, or my best g-spot stimulator, or my best dildo, or my best bluetooth app-controlled vibrator. It is, however, pretty good at all those things. If I am really in the mood for a particular type of stimulation, I’m not going to choose the Crescendo. If I am just looking for a general good time, though, the Crescendo is really fun. I’ve surprised myself that I keep going back to it. It’s an easy, hands-free orgasm.

The value of the Crescendo is also in its perceived value. It’s a beautiful toy with gorgeous packaging. It will make a great gift. Because it’s poseable and customizable, you can give it to a sexual partner and be assured that it will likely be a good choice for them.

I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for Crescendo and Mystery Vibe.
