design

The Vive Riko is a sex toy with many functions.

There are 3 independently controlled motors:

1. A motor strikes the clitoris with a “pulse wave” simulator pad.
2. A motor is used to vibrate the tip of the G-spot shaft.
3. A motor moves the G-point axis in a “come here” fashion. I took a quick video of the feature in My Experience below.

This is so ambitious! I was intrigued, to say the least.

You might think that a vibrator with so many features would be a big, bulky thing, but it’s a nice, modest size. The overall length is just under 7 inches, with the shaft itself inserting just over 4 inches.

The Vive Riko has an “EZ Grip” handle – which has soft, flexible loops built into it. This allows you to reach your hand into the ring and hold the body of the vibrator comfortably.

The Vive Riko comes in only one color: purple. It’s an eggplant purple and I wish it had more shades. I love the red and blue happy products.

Vive Riko sells for $120. This puts it in the mid/high end of the range of general vibrators on this market…but considering it has so many features, its price tag is understandable.

How to use Vive Riko

Vive Riko lets you control 3 independent motors via 5 control buttons on the handle.

• Insert the G-spot shaft so that the shaft is snug inside you and the pulse wave stimulator is angled against your clitoris.
• The buttons are: Power, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3 and Fx.
• To turn it on, press and hold the center power button for about 3 seconds.
• To turn on the pulse wave stimulator, click the Mode 1 button.
• To turn on the vibration stroke, press the Mode 2 button.
• To turn on the Come-Hither G-Spot Stimulator, press the Mode 3 button.
• Click the respective button to cycle through the modes/modes of any of the 3 motors.
• To turn off any of these modes individually, press and hold these buttons for 3 seconds.
• To turn “Climax” mode on or off, press the fx button.
• To quickly turn off the entire toy, press and hold the center power button.

Honestly, having 5 different buttons to perform different actions when you’re trying to masturbate is a bit too complicated. I wish the interface was simpler.

Package

The Vive Riko comes in simple white and purple packaging. The white sleeve depicts Riko and also contains operating instructions on the back. It slides down to reveal a purple clamshell box. Inside, the Riko sits on a foam pad along with the charging cable.

All in all, you will receive the Vive Riko and a USB charging cable. It does not include a storage bag, so if you want a dedicated storage bag, you can buy it here. However, any perforated/breathable bag will do.

Materials and care

Vive Riko is made of silicone and ABS plastic Detail (metal strip around controls). Silicone is a great material for sex toys because it’s easy to clean, hygienic, and hypoallergenic.

The Vive Riko is splash-proof (IPX6), which means you can rinse it but don’t submerge it in water. arrive cleanI rinse with warm soapy water before and after each use.

If you want to add lube (which I always recommend), try a good water-based lube like my favorite Basic Sliquid H2O.

arrive TOLLconnect the magnetic charging cable to the two pins on the base. Connect the power cord to your computer or USB wall adapter. When you see the center (O) button flashing red, it means it’s charging. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge and can last nearly 1 hour of playback.

All VIVE vibrators come with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty – see the VIVE website for details.

My experience with Vive Riko

The Vive Riko is better than I expected.

First, check out the video of the “come here” action I captured below:

As you can see, Vive Riko’s G-spot robot arm Wildly waving “come here” motion; works great on the G-spot and feels sacred. I don’t get G-spot orgasms, but I still appreciate good G-spot stimulation, and this can give me that.

this G-spot vibrates, They’re concentrated at the tip of the G-spot shaft and controlled independently, which is a bit disappointing. They are medium in intensity, fairly active, and basically fly under the radar (especially when the G-spot is in fingering mode). If you’re looking for a G-spot vibrator that’ll really shake you up, then you might want to consider something like the We-Vibe Rave. The back and forth movement alone is pleasurable enough.

Finally, my favorite—the Vive Riko’s clitoral-thumping “pulse wave” board is amazing. It’s not a vibrator, but sensory-wise, it translates/feels like a very rumbling vibrator. It stimulates the clitoris quickly and effectively. You can’t press it firmly against your body without losing its effectiveness, which would normally be a deal-breaker for me, but with just a light touch it feels great.

I’ve found that I can even use the clitoral impact plate on its own (without inserting the G-spot arm); I just turn it upside down so that the G-spot arm lifts up and over my pubic bone.

I had an orgasm with the combination of a clitoral impact plate and a G-spot arm amazing.

So what is mine? complaint? Just one: Controls… too many buttons. Since the vibration mode is so weak, I would be happier if they ditched the feature entirely and then at least reduced the number of buttons by one.

Vive Riko Review – General Thoughts

Vive Riko is an orgasm toy. I love the robotic G-spot shaft, which when combined with a clitoral tapping plate makes for a great time. I think they could skip the vibration mode and there are too many buttons, but other than that it’s a very pleasant acquisition.
