LELO is one of the leading brands in the world of sex toys. It has produced several toys over the years that are trailblazers in their different feature ranges. The LELO IDA Wave is a new product from the LELO brand, a successor of the LELO IDA. While sharing some physicality with the predecessor, the LELO IDA Wave has some unique features that places it quite ahead of it predecessor, I will be making of the review of this new product of LELO in details below.
PACKAGING OF LELO IDA WAVE
LELO IDA Wave comes in a modest but thick paper packaging with a transparent window displaying the vibrator. A USB charging cable, an instructional manual, a warranty slip, storage bag, and a sample pack of lubrication were all inside when I opened it. This packaging really stands out among other toys because of the utmost precision of the product designer.
SPECIFICATIONS AND MATERIAL
The material of the IDA Wave is a mix of body-safe silicone and ABS plastic, these materials are hypoallergenic and due to the softness of the silicone, the feel on the skin is not harsh. Most of the parts of the vibrator is extremely soft silicone that will not hurt or bruise the skin. The flat and almost round head of the part that goes on the clitoris, is made of shiny and reflective gold that has the LELO logo imprinted on it. The gold plastic is also used on the edges of the charging port, giving the product an overall classy look.
The LELO IDA Wave measures 3.7 inches in length, 2.2 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in depth. It weighs 3.6 ounces. The tail that is inserted into the vagina for G-spot stimulation, which is also the smaller part, can be inserted up to about 3 inches long and 1 inch in width at its tip, which is the widest point. The other tail that massages the clitoris which flatter and wider, measures 2.5 inches long, 2 inches wide at its widest point, and has a thickness of an inch. It is available in two colors, black and coral.
Design and functions
LELO IDA WAVE has two independent motors in the vibrator that stimulate the clitoris and the G-spot, respectively. When you consider how the toy is shaped, you would see that this design is made this way, most likely to further enhance the general stimulation of the clitoris. When inserted into the vagina, the form of the toy enables the tail for the stimulation of the clitoris to remain comfortably on top of it, even when the G-spot, is being stimulated strongly. The insertable tail of the massager has a feature called “WaveMotion Technology” by LELO, which enables the insertable length to move around the vagina and stimulate it in the same way that a finger would massage the G-spot.
Charging and Battery
LELO IDA WAVE uses a rechargeable battery with the charging port on the side of the clitoral head. The charging port is left opened. The IDA Wave sex toy arrived fully charged, but this may not always be the situation and the toy might need to be charged when you get it, and this was also advised on the online manual. The instruction booklet directs the user to obtain the online manual from LELO’s website. The instruction booklet only said that the device to be charged before use, it did not specify for how long this should be, before usage. The IDA Wave website indicates that it takes 2 hours to charge for 2 hours of play, however there were no instructions on how to use the IDA WAVE on the website.
Controls of the LELO IDA WAVE
The LELO IDA Wave has exceptional controls which are what set the gadget apart because they allow you to pair the toy with a Bluetooth device and save four custom settings for usage, even when one have not downloaded the app or when, for some reasons, you cannot make use of a mobile data or Wi-Fi. When you want to use the toy with the app, Download the LELO app and follow the connectivity instructions once it has been downloaded to connect the vibrator to the app. LELO IDA Wave only has one button, which can be used to turn it on, pair it with a Bluetooth device, and cycle through the vibration patterns when it's not connected to an app. This makes connecting the device to the app relatively easy to access. The app contains ten distinct vibratory patterns that are all named, ranging from a monotonous constant vibration option that is named 'boring' to the highest level which is named 'exhilarating’, I would say that it was rightly named. By shaking or twisting the phone, you can enhance the power of these patterns up to ten speeds.
How to use LELO IDA WAVE
It is important to charge the toy before using it for the first time, so that it will not go off during use. But, charging the toy, clean the IDA Wave after removing it from the packaging with soap and warm water. On the instructional card, you will find the instructions to follow to be able to connect the vibrator to Bluetooth after downloading the LELO app. As the software, as well, gives a step-by-step animation outlining this process, it is a simple procedure.
The next thing is to take a comfortable position, I found that the best position for this kind of toy is to lie on your back and raise your knees, so that you would have unrestricted access to the clitoris and the vagina. Although the toy had a good grip once it is set and held till end. After taking a position, add some lube to the toy and yourself after that. Then place the clitoral stimulator on top of your clitoris after inserting the toy into your vagina. Find a setting you prefer with the app. Enjoy the deep, rumbling vibrations as you explore the environment until you find what you like. You can add your four favorite patterns to the vibe for offline use once you’ve finished exploring.
Warranty
The LELO IDA Wave offers a one-year warranty and a ten-year quality guarantee, the latter of which guarantees you to 50% off a new gadget purchased on LELO’s website in the event that your toy develops a problem after the warranty period has expired.
Care and hygiene
Use warm water and soft antibacterial soap to thoroughly wash the LELO IDA Wave. As an alternative, you can also clean the vibrator with a sex toy cleaner if you have it available. Before charging the toy, after cleaning it, let it dry completely before plugging in the charging cable. The LELO IDA Wave is water-resistant, but it is advised to wash with a soft microfiber towel and hands rather than soak and wash it in a dishwasher, this might not be suitable for the component in the gadget.
Pros
- You can utilize the app to save your preferred vibration setting for offline use.

This LELO IDA Wave is ideal for those that desire a sex toy that can function automatically once it has been set and this toy offers that, once the vibration patterns have been set on the app, it can be left to carry out the programmed action. It is ideal for both solo play and partnered fun if your partner would be controlling the sex toy with the app.
Comparing LELO IDA Wave to other products by LELO brand
As known that LELO has a lot of hi-tech gadgets, IDA Wave actually can be compared to them as they share some similarities. Such products are LELO IDA of which the IDA Wave is an improvement and also, LELO TIANI Duo. The difference between LELO IDA and this new LELO IDA Wave is that the LELO IDA Wave has a better fit and a clitoral stimulator that sends more direct vibrations. The silicon is also softer and flexible.
LELO TIANI Duo has a remote control rather than the app that the LELO IDA Wave uses as control. The shape is also a bit different. The TIANI Duo is more suited to partnered fun rather than solo play because of the remote control. LELO IDA Wave is ideal for both solo play and partnered fun.
CONCLUSION
This toy is easily among the best we have yet had from LELO, just as we have had several others from this brand. This toy quite ideal for your pleasure and I really enjoyed several of its features, most especially the different vibration patterns. Both the toy and the app are user-friendly and do not require a lot of stress to figure you how to operate it. If you decide to get this toy, I am sure you would be able to enjoy it as well, or configure a mix of vibration patterns that you enjoy.
