Oh what a clever design. This small hand held clitoral vibrator has genius design that is shaped a bit like the Kiwi bird. It truly looks like the head of this bird with a tapering tip made to resemble its fine elongated beak.

I had very high hopes for this one, even thinking it could revolutionize pin-point clitoral stimulation. How did it perform? Read on....

When powered on the thin nose flickers excitedly and rapidly. The body of the vibe does vibrate but it is not designed to be applied to the body (not that anything would stop you from doing it). The Kiwi is really mainly designed with women in mind and it focuses on clitoral stimulation. It is not an insertion toy at all. That said if you are creative one can use it as well to tickle various body parts such as nipples, earlobes, lips, sensitive spot...and why not even the opening of the anus with a condom on. This is a solo toy for the ladies or can be used by a couple. Again, this toy is designed for pin-point tickling and flickering but it is not made for forceful pressure.

The Kiwi was ergonomically designed to nestle nicely in the palm of your hand. Even the control pad is strategically placed where you can modify the functions with your fingers while you are using it. After a couple of uses you won’t even need to look at it. It measures 5” in length and had a diameter of 2” at its widest point, with a circumference of 6 ”. The motor is located in the head part of the Kiwi bird and to power it you will require 2 AAA batteries. Just twist the top wide part, insert batteries and twist the top back on. Did I mention it is waterproof too....bonus!

The tip/beak taper down to the size of a green bean (what I am hungry dinner will be after the review) and it is extremely flexible. So even if it wiggles like mad when turned on you won’t be able to apply a lot of pressure.

The body of the vibe is made of ABS plastic while the beak part is made high grade silicone. It is white from head to tip except for a dark gray control pad. This toy has a smooth texture, the silicone tip almost a bit like grainy silk. I detected no odor.

Another really cool feature about the Kiwi is that there is a cute pink light that blinks when powered on. Depending on the vibration strength the tip flickers faster the stronger it gets. This can make it a fun toy to use in the dark.

The Kiwi is controlled by two buttons found on the control pad. Pressing the top button once turns on the vibration to the lowest setting. As you keep pressing the vibration escalating to the highest setting. But that is not all! If you press again at this point the toy will go into its first pulsating pattern. There are 7 patterns to choose from varying between short burst to longer ones, low power eventually growing stronger and the reverse, continuous buzz, etc. The noise level is on the low scale, definitely a quiet toy.

So was it the revolutionizing pin-point clitoral stimulation vibe I was hoping for? Alas the Kiwi fell short of my high expectations. I love a clitoral toy that is pin-point AND allows for pressure control. The Kiwi only offered the first part. It certainly got my juices flowing but no way was I going to have an orgasm with it. I tried several times, even tried just applying the body. No orgasm. Also I found the highest vibration setting still too weak for me. So this toy is not going to receive a spot in my personal toy chest but will rather find its nest in the sensory play drawer. That is why I like to say this bird is just a tease.

The Kiwi is phthalates and latex free. The silicone tip is non porous making disinfection a breeze. As I said before it is waterproof which helps for clean up. You can quickly pass the whole toy under the faucet or just wash the tip. Clean it with antibacterial soap and warm water or you can really disinfect it by wiping it down with a bleach solution. You cannot boil this toy or put it in the dishwasher as you will break the motor. The Kiwi is strictly compatible with water based lubes.

I gave this toys a couple of extra tries, just to see. I simply does not work for me. I don't like the weak spastic beak.I need precise spot stimulation and this doe not provide it.
