Iroha Stick Review
My Verdict
The Iroha Stick would be a great toy for a beginner but I wouldn’t recommend to anyone other than that. It has one solid vibration with varying intensities from a soft vibration to strong controlled by a dial on the base. It is buzzy, loud and can easily adjusted while using which personally was a little annoying while using. The Iroha Stick is again a solid beginner toy but thats all I believe I would recommend it to!

About The Iroha Stick
The Iroha Stick from Tenga is a small vibe that looks like lipstick! It had a soft silicone tip and a dial on the bottom to turn it on, off and to control the intensity. It is also waterproof, but I personally wouldn't use it in the water because i can easily open the compartment for the battery when turning it off. The Stick also comes in four colors, light pink, coral pink, lilac and, most recently, Hamanasu rose pink.
The vibrations of the Iroha Stick are noisy, very powerful, and somewhat buzzy

Personal Experience
First Impressions
When first looking at the Iroha Stick, I loved how the soft pink silicone tip looks just like a lipstick. The simplicity to this toy is great. A dial to turn it on and off, switch the battery when it dies and use tepid water to clean! Compared to other toys, the Stick is also one of the easiest to store — just put the cap on and toss in your dresser (or your purse)!The Downsides
While the Iroha Stick is relatively strong, there are just too many down sides for me to whole-heartedly recommend it to any one who isn’t a beginner. It only has one vibration mode, the intensity of which is controlled with the dial on the bottom of the toy, and no other patterns. While using the Stick, I would accidentally turn the dial, making it either go up or all the way down in intensity, which was kind of annoying for me and my partner. Furthermore, while Iroha call this vibrator waterproof, I would recommend being careful that you don’t open the battery compartment while turning it off. I’ve done this a few times now, so I’ve been avoiding water just to be safe!Design
This vibrator has a soft silicone tip shaped like lipstick and a base of sturdy plastic. The silicone tip is very comfortable against the body and the tube is easy to hold, but the dial base is a little annoying, since it's easy to go too far or turn it accidentally. The overall simplicity of this toy makes it a wonderful toy for beginners, with a few downsides that may not bother you!
Ease of Use
The Iroha Stick is by far the easiest toy I've used. With only one dial to turn it off, on and control the intensity, it really doesn’t get any easier. As I've mentioned, though, the dial turns accidentally while using it, which ended up being very frustrating.
Quality
For the price, I feel the Iroha Stick is good quality! It has a soft silicone tip and a sturdy plastic base. But even with the good quality it is pretty loud. I have similar vibrators that are much more quiet than this, but if you can overlook that, then the overall quality is good!
Price
Personally, I think that the price of the Iroha Stick makes it a good toy for beginners. It's simple to use, strong and easy to store with the cap that clicks on, plus there's a soft silicone tip!
Performance
The Iroha Stick doesn't have any vibration patterns, only steady speeds. Even on the lowest setting, it is still loud and buzzy. While fun to use alone, for me and my partner it wasn’t great because he would accidentally spin the dial like I did while using it, so it was frustrating for the both of us. The other disappointing part was that it just didn't feel safe to use in water. Overall, this wasn't quite the performance I was expecting.
Packaging
The package design was very underwhelming for me. While the Iroha Stick is a low-priced toy the packaging made me worry it was cheaply made. It comes in a fitted plastic container that looks like its meant to hang on a hook in a store. While the packaging isn’t the end of the world I do wish there was more thought, especially because the packaging of other Iroha toys is so pretty.
Materials and care
The base and cap are made from a solid but lightweight polycarbonate plastic. The soft silicone tip is for external use only and should be cleaned in tepid water with a toy cleaner. With the Stick being waterproof, it is easy to clean in the sink. Just make sure to dry the tip before clicking the lid on and storing!
