Kiiroo Pearl3 Interactive Vibrator Review

Personal Experience

A Precious Pearl?

I will preface this review by saying I’m not much of an internal vibrations kinda gal! I much prefer clit stimulation with a magic wand or clit suction stimulator or the thrusting motion of a dildo. However, I wanted to an interactive sex toy to connect to my partner’s Hot Octopuss Solo Interactive. I was also very curious to try my first Kiiroo toy and get a feel for their app.

First Impressions

I was a little surprised by how minimal the packaging was. The box was very small, and inside, there was just the Pearl3 and a charging cable. While I’m happy about the minimal packaging, I was disappointed to see that it didn’t come with a storage bag and I was a little surprised there wasn’t any kind of instruction manual. On closer inspection, I found some instructions on the back of the cardboard slip that was inside the box, and although they were very simple, they were enough to figure out the controls.

Solo Test Ride

I decided to give the Kiiroo Pearl3 a whirl just as it is without getting involved in the app side of things. After a bit of warm up, I tried this G-spot vibrator internally and I have to say it didn’t do a whole lot for me. The vibrations are fairly strong and the shape is nice, but it just felt a bit underwhelming. I tried to use the bumps to target my g-spot but didn’t find them particularly effective and they even felt a little tickly at times. I also tried using the tip to massage my g-spot, but as I’m used to the satisfying weight of my steel dildos, the njoy Pure Wand or Le Wand Arch, so the Pearl3 just didn’t quite hit the mark.

Exploring Some Interactive Play

A Technological Boner Killer

Design

The Kiiroo Pearl3 has a pretty standard G-spot vibrator shape — a nice gentle curve to target the most sensitive area on the front of the vaginal wall and a slightly bulbed tip for more fullness and pressure. It also has three raised bumps that are designed to intensify the g-spot stimulation. I have to say the bumps didn't do a lot for me internally and at some points felt almost tickly. The whole thing is completely rigid and I would have preferred if it had a little more squish. The Pearl3 comes in the purple color I have or a powder pink color.

Ease of Use

The Kiiroo Pearl3 only has one button on the device, which is used to turn it on and scroll through the pairing mode, touch response mode, and five patterns of vibration. I'm not a huge fan of having to scroll through, but it's designed mostly to be used with the app controls anyway. It was super easy to connect to the FeelConnect App and took less than a minute to get up and running. It was also pretty easy to connect the Pearl3 to interactive content and it vibrated along with the video quite nicely. It's not something I particularly enjoyed but that's a matter of personal preference. My partner was able to control the Kiiroo Pearl3 long-distance using the app but we were unable to use the video function or connect our toys to each other. The app seemed a little disorganised and less intuitive than others, and I wasn't a fan of the touch screen control interface for solo use.

Quality

The pearl feels quite light in the hand. I actually prefer a weightier vibrator as it tends to feel a little sturdier and you don't have to apply as much pressure. The Kiiroo Pearl3 is also surprisingly loud for its size at up to 60 decibels on the highest setting — almost on par with the immensely powerful and much bigger Doxy Wand. It's got an almost rattly sound to it and is quite annoying. The device itself feels fairly well-made though.

Price

Considering the technology you get in the Kiiroo, I think it's a pretty reasonable price. I think if you more into G-spot stimulation, this is a good option. However, considering the app caused such a headache, I'm not sure it's one I would recommend. Plus, it's a crime that it doesn't come with a storage bag! A vibrator that costs over $100 for a vibrator and no storage bag — straight to jail!

Performance

While the internal vibrations didn't hit the spot for me, they did feel good around my labia and on my clitoris. I did find that the vibrations could be felt a lot in the handle and they weren't quite as a rumbly as I would like. Internally it just didn't do a lot for and externally, I found myself wishing it was either broader or more pinpoint.

Packaging

The packaging is very sleek and minimal, which I appreciate. It comes in a plastic wrapped cardboard box. Personally, I would prefer if it didn't have the plastic and just a small proof of seal sticker instead to save on plastic waste. The box shows a picture of the vibrator and a few small bits of information about the features.

Materials and care

The Kiiroo Pearl3 is completely waterproof and covered in high-quality silicone, so it's easy to clean with some warm water and soap. Unfortunately, there's no storage bag so you'll have to source your own to keep it clean and safe between uses. It's compatible with water-based lube only.

Special feature

The Kiiroo Pearl3 is compatible with the FeelConnect app, made by FeelTechnology. Once connected to the app, there are a lot of fun ways to use the toy. In the app you can create custom vibrations, let a partner control it long-distance, or connect to a partner’s Kiiroo toy. While I was able to use the app control, long distance control and interactive porn features, I was not able to connect to my partner’s toy or use the video call function which were the two I was most interested in. It seems I’m not the only one struggling with the app either. FeelConnect currently has a rating of 2.6 on Google Play based on 477 reviews. You can also sync the Pearl3 to a camming account for an interactive experience. The other notable feature is the use of touch plates that sense pressure and increase the stimulation, so the more pressure you apply the stronger the vibrations. This is one of the manual modes of the Kiiroo Pearl3 and while it isn’t so intuitive to use for external pleasure, I think it can be fun for internal play.
