There are few things in this world on which my opinion has flipped completely over the course of my life. While (presumably) not titillating, cilantro is one thing that immediately comes to mind. I used to believe I was one of those people who were genetically cursed to hate it; nowadays, I throw that shit on everything. I would treat cilantro like salt and pepper if it were socially acceptable (while it might be to my boyfriend, my culinary-inclined family would take issue). Within the past few months, I’ve had another huge revelation in my life, however, namely one regarding air pulsing toys. I had tried a Womanizer toy once before with an old partner, and while it was an interesting experience, I was never sold on the technology. That all changed when my BFF won an Instagram contest that resulted in both her and I receiving new Womanizer Starlet 2‘s. After a few tries, I became absolutely obsessed with this toy, and it became my number one go-to for all things clit stimulation.
Holding the We-Vibe Melt to show sleek, easy to hold body
Recently, I reached out to We-Vibe to ask if they would let me test out their pulsating toy, the Melt. Being the lovely people they are, they sent me one straight away and, well, let’s just say it’s another cilantro: I love it, it’s changed my life, and I want to put it on everything. Okay, well, at least my bits.
If you’ve never tried an air pulsing toy before, the sensations vary between each brand. To me, both the We-Vibe Melt and the Womanizer Starlet feel like a focused thumping or tapping, in such a way that reverberates throughout my whole clitoral system, but I think that the Starlet has a bit more thump to it, while the Melt has a bit more suction. It certainly feels more intense to me, at least to me.
As far as dynamic range goes, the Melt has 12 levels of intensity, with the lowest starting out more intense then the lowest setting on the Starlet. Good or bad, depending on your preference. The power level goes up so high on the Melt that I don’t even use the last few settings most of the time because it’s just too much. When I am on the highest sensation it feels like someone has isolated my clitoris and is lighting it on fire. Which…I suppose might be pleasurable for some people, but just not for me. The sensation is so focused and intense that there is no escaping it, which is why I usually just play with the first few settings.
One of the cool things I have noticed about the Melt (as well as other air pulse toys) is that it doesn’t make me sensitive in the way other vibrators do, and I have heard this from other people as well. I don’t get the desensitization after long periods of use, nor does it make my nether regions itch or tingle uncomfortably after using it for a long time.
The shape of the Melt is quite streamlined, and the body is covered in a super silky and squishy silicone, similar to the one used for the rest of the brand’s toys. The profile of the Melt is sleek; it was designed so it could be easier to use during partnered sex, which I think it accomplishes pretty well. It feels very comfortable in my hands, and I like the button placement, though I would rather the buttons be raised rather than indented as they are. I have on more then one occasion increased the intensity when I was trying to decrease it, much to my own shock and displeasure. The only other thing I don’t like about this piece is that, because of the shape and length, I can’t just lay it on my body and expect it to stay nicely on my clit the way the Starlet does. Rather, it has to be actively held in position, which sucks because sometimes I just want to be lazy and use it hands-free.
Holding the We-Vibe Melt and Womanizer Starlet 2 together to compare size and shape. The buttons on the Starlet are easier to use as they are more pronounced.
The Melt, like all of We-Vibe’s products, also connects to the We-Connect app. This is cool because you can control the intensity via phone instead of via the toy itself, or you can have a partner do it for you. I haven’t used the long distance connection with this toy yet, but I have used it a little with the We-Vibe Sync and it was quite buggy. I have read from other reviewers that the long distance connectivity has always had issues, so I suppose you should keep that in mind if that’s something you are looking for.
To sum up my feelings about the Melt:
Pros:
- Soft silicone, fully waterproof, magnet USB rechargeable
- Bluetooth and long distance connection to the We-Connect app
- 12 strong thumping/sucking functions
- Up to 2 hour battery life!!
- Sleek shape optimized for partnered use
Cons:
- Starts pretty strong
- Buggy long distance connection
All in all, the best endorsement I could give for this toy is to say I use it every day. The Melt has replaced my wand vibes as my go-to for clit stimulation and really changed the way I masturbate. I am almost annoyed that I have other vibrators that I have to test after this, because I just want to use the Melt all the time. I would recommend this to folks who are interested in air pulsing toys and definitely to anyone who enjoys them already and is looking for one of the strongest you can get. We-Vibe certainly does not disappoint.
