Welcome back to rarebeingdesign.com! In today’s' post I review the LELO IDA ™ Wave sex toy.

But first I wanted to touch a little on solo pleasure for women. I had a message from a lovely vulva owner on Instagram recently asking me for some tips on how to get rid of shame for engaging in masturbation. Sadly, it’s not uncommon for women to feel a lot of shame or guilt around masturbation.

Female pleasure is hugely under represented so it’s not surprising to hear that some women feel this way.

If you are feeling this way here are a few tips that might help:

· Try to understand the root cause

Could it be religious beliefs, cultural shame or pressures? It’s important to try and figure out where the shame is coming from because if we understand that we will be able to show ourselves more empathy while we try work through it

· Talk about it

Talk to your friends openly about masturbation, normalising it will help you feel more comfortable in engaging in it

· Take it slow

You don’t have to go straight in. Set some time aside for yourself each week. Give yourself a breast massage, purchase some massage oil or moisturizer (LELO’s personal moisturizer is to die for) and start exploring different parts of your body. Build up to it, gradually and in a way that feels right for you

· Read more blogs and articles on self pleasure

The reason I started the review series on my blog was to help combat shame and stigma around female pleasure and masturbation. So, I would recommend reading more books, blogs and articles on female pleasure. In doing so it will give you more knowledge on the subject and also show you that you’re not alone!

It’s not going to be an easy process but I promise you it’s worth it. There is nothing like the feeling of overcoming shame and feeling powerful and in control in your own skin.

Once you feel comfortable enough you could look at introducing some toys to the mix!

Sex toys can enhance pleasure and make masturbation more fun. I recently tried out the LELO IDA ™ Wave and it is certainly fun to use!

The LELO IDA ™ Wave uses WaveMotion™ technology that mimics a finger-like motion. The insertable tail “rotates” while simultaneously carrying over the vibrations from the head, bringing pleasure to your g-spot! You can control this sex toy with an app on your phone!

How does the LELO IDA ™ Wave work?

Step 1

First, rub some lube on your vulva and on the toy. Then, insert the smaller arm into the vagina and the larger one onto your clitoris.

Step 2

Turn it on, let the excitement build slowly, and teasingly explore different pleasure settings.

Step 3

You can pair it with the LELO app so you can enjoy some hands free fun!

I have never used a sex toy with an app before, I didn’t really know what to expect, but all I can say is wow! I definitely recommend trying it at least once with the app. You can manually work the toy as well so you have both options.

The instructions with the toy are a little vague so I recommend following the below steps to use the LELO IDA™ WAVE.

How to use the LELO IDA™ WAVE without the app:

• Press the power button to turn it on.

• The LED lights will blink, showing the battery level.

•The LED lights will go steady, showing the vibration level.

• Press the power button to switch between the modes. It is auto set to 100% intensity so don’t panic when you first turn it on.

• Press the center button for 3 seconds to turn it off.

Personally, I loved using the app so I would recommend this way to get the most fun from the toy and enjoy a hands free experience.

How to use the LELO IDA™ WAVE with the app:

• Download the LELO app from the app store

• Press the power button for 3 seconds to turn it on while activating the Bluetooth

• All the LED lights will blink simultaneously showing the Bluetooth pairing

• Open the IDA™ Wave APP and once the confirmation message appears, press the center button of the product to confirm

• Use the controls on your mobile app to experiment with different modes and intensities

• All the LED lights will go steady, showing the connection was successful

• If the connection fails, your product will automatically turn off after 30 seconds.

• The battery and vibration level will be available in the app.

• Hold in the power button to turn the toy off

Again, I would recommend trying it with the app at least once! I really enjoyed playing with the settings on this.

For example, you can shake the phone to turn the intensity up and down or change the mode completely from excited to soft!

Key Features

· Dual function

Two vibrating motors can give you dual sensation inside and out.

· A great range of intensities

Experience different levels of satisfaction with 10 powerful pleasure settings.

· Controlled by an app

Connect and control your device via Bluetooth for extended pleasure.

· WAVEMOTION™ Technology

Enjoy a surging finger-like massage

Can you use the toy with a partner?

Even though the LELO IDA™ WAVE is made for solo play why not give the control over to a partner? Let your partner control your phone and turn up the intensity to drive you wild until you reach the point of no return!

You can have endless fun with the IDA ™ Wave! I would say it’s the perfect toy for someone fairly new to buying sex toys because it’s simple and easy to use but A LOT of fun as well!

Final thoughts on the IDA ™ Wave

I would give this sex toy a 4.5 stars! I love the feeling of the finger-like motion inside the vagina and I LOVE that I can use this hands free through the app. The app is what made this one so much fun for me!

The toy also comes with a sample packet of the LELO personal moisturizer so you can get started right away!

What are you waiting for, dim the lights and try this baby out!
