We-Vibe has been known to make a lot of great vibrators over the years (e.g. the Tango). But one of the most hyped vibes in their lineup is the We-Vibe Sync. Touted as completely revolutionizing couple’s sex – both in person and long-distance. It’s even won multiple awards over the years.
But at $220 retail you have to wonder… is it worth the hype?
We think the Sync solves a lot of problems with traditional vibrators in the bedroom, due to the hands-free nature of the vibe. And it certainly adds some exciting options to our sexual repertoire.
It’s also incredibly easy to adjust to fit your body, so it’s great for a wide variety of body types. And if the price tag is simply too much, there’s some more affordable options available that we’ll discuss in more depth below.
So, yeah – amazing toy, definitely lives up to the hype, and was why we decided to feature it in our definitive guide to the best vibrators.

- Broad vibrations: the two motors hit the clit and g-spot simultaneously for broad stimulation to both you and your partner.
- Flexible use: literally - the two hinges in the middle of the Sync allows you to position it however you'd like and it stays in place better than most couple's vibrators.
- Works with penetration: The clip doesn't get in the way of your partner's penis (or another toy).
- Wearable: The clip shape makes the Sync double as a wearable vibrator, although not quite on the same level as something like the Lush.
- Hands-free versatility : words great during foreplay, around the house, in the shower, PiV penetration, and during pegging.
- Charging station: we really like the charge station and cover, which allows for easy bedside storage and ready-to-use at a moment's notice.
- Not ideal for long-distance play: the WeConnect app generally works fine, but sometimes has issues with the bluetooth connection - especially from long-range or if you're a larger gal.
- Not for power queens: the Sync isn't as strong as something like the Tango or other dedicated powerful vibrators. The G-spot arm isn't as strong as we'd like; the clit motor is doing all the heavy lifting.
- Price: the sync is a premium couples vibrator, and the $200+ price tag reflects that.
- Issues over time: Some users report issues with charging over time. Comes with a 2-year warranty though, and the We-Vibe support is great.

A dual-stim couple’s vibrator that gets it right
So if it’s not obvious from the pictures above, the Sync is a U-shaped vibrator that securely sits over your clit, with a thinner, narrower end that wraps around to your G-spot, providing dual-stimulation.
And for once a dual-stim vibrator gets it right!
Most clit and g-spot vibes, like rabbits, have much stronger internal vibrations than clitoral. And this, quite frankly, is the opposite of what most women want and need.
Many women orgasm only through clitoral stimulation. And those that can orgasm from pure penetration still report that they come harder with additional clit stimulation.
Well the Sync has its primary motor directly over the clit, which means it’s more powerful where you want it to be.
And the U-shaped neck has two adjustable hinges that let you really adapt the fit it to your body, which makes it great for a wide variety of women.
Opens up new, exciting hands-free experiences with your partner
The Sync comes with a small, handheld remote control that lets your partner control the intensity without fumbling around the base of the vibrator in the heat of the moment.
It has a somewhat limited range – only about 10 feet or so. And it has a tendency to get blocked by thick clothing or if you’re a larger gal.
But overall we found it to work fine in the bedroom. We haven’t had a chance to wear ours out in public yet due to COVID quarantine…
This wearable, hands-free experience also opens up some exciting new ways to play:
- Wear it out on date night (the lower settings are quiet enough to not be heard)
- Use it during oral sex in foreplay (give him control for a win-win experience)
- Provides clit and G-spot stimulation during anal sex
- Provides extra stimulation for her during pegging
- It’s waterproof, so feel free to use in the shower or tub
We found the only slightly awkward position was missionary, because our hips pressing together could sometimes press the button on the head of the g-spot arm.
Basically, the Sync allows for some extra vibrations during all your favorite activities.
It is what butter is to cooking: it just makes everything better.
The Sync is pretty quiet on the first two settings, but the higher settings are probably a bit loud for public play. Although it has a Beat mode that vibrates to music around you. So the Sync might just be perfect for clubbing or attending a concert where the vibrations won’t be heard.
Can a vibrator be too stimulating?
So the We-Vibe Sync isn’t a major powerhouse like the Doxy Die Cast or the Womanizer. But while those vibrators are sprinters, the Sync is a marathonner.
It’s the epitome of ‘slow and steady wins the race.’
Our whole approach to sex with the Sync is ‘this felt good before, it feels amazing now, let’s keep this going as long as possible.’ And with a battery life of 90-minutes, you have as much time as you need.
So with that said, sometimes it can be a bit… too stimulating? If you know what we mean?
While you ladies out there are likely accustomed to how a vibrator feels, most of your guys are probably not used to the feeling. And the sync is going to make you feel tighter, because that G-spot arm, while thin and flat, does take up a bit of space.
Combine those two factors and, well… it can end things a bit prematurely because everything feels so good.
But not to worry, because the Sync keeps going. With 4 variable power settings there’s more than enough juice to give some amazing orgasms.
Not a budget vibe
We get it. $220 is a lot to spend on anything, yet alone a sex toy. The Sync absolutely deserves its title as the best of the best, but there are some more affordable options out there that are still very excellent toys.
We-Vibe also makes 3 other models similar to the Sync:
- The We-Vibe Chorus ($200) – more variable remote control, but a little less powerful. Still adjustable at the neck.
- The We-Vibe Match ($140) – A little less powerful, and not as adjustable in the neck. Slightly bulkier.
- The We-Vibe Unite ($100) – Same as the Match, but doesn’t use the magnetic charging dock of the others, so not fully waterproof.
Here’s a comparison table:
So if you just want the basic effect without all the bells and whistles, the Unite is generally fine for half the price. Although the double adjustable necks on the Sync are part of why we feel comfortable recommending it to a broad audience, and the unite doesn’t have that.
If you’re on a tight budget, the Satisfyer Partner Pro Plus is our pick, for just $50.
It’s not adjustable and doesn’t sit in place as well as the We-Vibes do, but it’s got good vibration strength and works well enough for 1/4 the price of the Sync.
See What Others Are Saying About the We-Vibe Sync
Pretty everybody loves the Sync, from regular kinky couples to sex experts and professionals.
Recently, though, I heard about a new sex toy that promised more — not only more pleasure, but more connection between partners… This might just be the best new sex toy on the market.

There are also some users on Amazon who report getting a defective Sync:
This is why we generally recommend buying direct from the manufacturer, as We-Vibe has an excellent 2-year warranty should anything happen to your Sync. Although in this case it looks like it is possible to get the warranty through Amazon:
We haven’t had any problems in several months of use, and we definitely use it more than most toys in our collection.
We-Vibe Sync: Final Review
It sounds like a cool concept, but at the end of the day, do we actually use it?
Yes! All the time!
It’s one of the few toys we’ve reviewed that still gets regular use and a spot on the bedside table. We love using it during foreplay, and will often keep it in throughout the entire session.
We’re not big on public play, so we didn’t run into problems with the remote through clothing that some users report. So keep that in mind if you’re buying this primarily for public play.
It’s not a powerhouse vibe, but it is strong enough to add some great sensations to just about everything we do between the sheets.
If you’re looking for a versatile – yet different – vibrator experience, give a couple’s vibrator like a Sync a try!
