Groovies Wave is a great mini vibrator. For its petite price it comes with cute jewels on the base and 8 different settings. For its size I was surprised that it actually packed a punch. It's a perfect accessory for foreplay, to stimulate your clit or enjoy the wavy bumps during penetration. Alone, it isn't the tool to give an advanced user a screaming orgasm, but it is still a nice warm-up toy. This product would be great for beginners who don't want to start off with a huge toy (1" diameter), I think it is one of the better mini vibes for the price.

The texture is smooth and velvety and does not have that unappealing plastic odor. The decorative jewels actually make it easier to hold on to during use. It is also phthalate and latex-free and most importantly waterproof! It is relatively quiet and very discreet--I used it in the tub all the time without my roommate knowing. I would definitely recommend this as an accessory, it can be useful if you are traveling or need to get yourself off quietly.

The Groovies Wave can also be fun to use on your partner. This was one of the first toys I let my boyfriend use on me during foreplay, and when combined with him going down on me, it was enough to send me over the edge. I would recommend this to couples who want to begin to incorporate toys into their foreplay but don't want to start with a full-sized vibe, which can be tricky to maneuver if you have never done it before.

The control button is located on the base, which makes it easy to change speeds. However, there is no quick shut off option, you must click through all the speeds before it turns off. This can be frustrating at times, but I think it's still worth it for the price.

I can't remember the last time I used my wave vibe. I used this more when I was a beginner and had very few toys. Since becoming an advanced reviewer and trying new, more powerful toys, I've left Groovy behind.
