Providing the powerful vibrations you expect from a Wand, the Shibari Mini Halo comes in a surprisingly compact package that is convenient to take with you on your travels. It’s flexible in both form and function, letting users chose between 20 intensity settings that are transmitted to its maneuverable head. The relatively low price tag of this device can make it appealing to beginners but unfortunately that low price is often reflected in the large number of faults found with this toy.
Shibari Mini Halo has a PleasureScore™ of 69/100, placing it #101 on the PleasureScore™ 2022 Vibrator Ranking Chart.
A majority —81%— enjoyed the Shibari Mini Halo for external stimulation. Notable remarks indicate that it delivered orgasms quickly and effectively.
Testers commended the intensities of Mini Halo's vibrations considerably. According to them, vibrations at their most powerful levels feel "deep, rumbly, and penetrating."
Users discovered the shape of its head allows for either broad or pinpoint stimulation depending on the angle; its flexible neck allows for versatile stimulation.
The toy is coated with high-grade silicone, giving it a comfortable, "really soft, silky" feel.
The Shibari Mini Halo features a combination of 20 different speeds and pulsation settings. Some users were delighted to discover that each pulsation's intensity can be adjusted separately.
It works well as a body massager too; testers enjoyed using it to soothe the shoulders, neck, and back.
Notably, a tester suffering from degenerative disc disease discovered the Shibari Mini Halo had a therapeutic effect on the small knots that developed in her cervical muscles because of the disease.
The Shibari Mini Halo is compatible with a variety of attachments purchased separately from Shibariwands.com.
Numerous owners write the Shibari Mini Halo is true to its name, being lightweight and conveniently-sized. It is travel-friendly and easy to carry. At least one user discovered that its compact size makes it usable "between the two of you" during intercourse.
Shibari doesn't specify the battery life of the Mini Halo, but some women attested that it lasts a long time on a single charge; two separately mentioned that each charge lasted approximately 3-4 uses.
Its silicone is body-safe.
It is water-resistant though not submersible; it can be used in the shower but not the bath; cleaning is easy.
There were compliments on its sleek and modern looks.
Reports of product failures surfaced frequently: erratic motors, charging issues, breaking chargers, and product malfunction.
There was a case where it ceased to work after having dropped from a mere five feet.
A minority did not enjoy the Shibari Mini Halo, citing inadequate vibration strength.
A few buyers did not see the need for so many different intensities and pulsations; one wrote that she could hardly distinguish between the different intensities anyway.
According to one, the head felt too small and "too hard headed for comfort." She preferred a "more rounded and 'cushiony' head."
One tester criticised the Mini Halo's neck for not being flexible enough, needing much pressure to bend it.
A small number of owners complained about handle vibrations and sensations of numbness in the hand, particularly with the Mini Halo's intenser settings.
The Mini Halo turns on at the highest intensity. This was inconvenient for testers who preferred gradual increases of vibration intensities. Switching to the lowest intensity involves pressing the speed button eight times, and without a memory function buyers were frustrated with having to do this every time.
As the buttons are small and flushed with the handle, they have been criticized as hard to find; even more so in the dark. Reportedly, the silicone coat can shift, making the buttons difficult to press.
The Shibari Mini Halo cannot be used while charging.
One woman discovered the Mini Halo's silicone attracts hair and dust, and so should be kept carefully or washed before use.
Despite a seemingly affordable price point of $59 (thereabouts), the common occurrence of product failures often led buyers to regret that it is not worth its price.
