It took me a little while to warm up to the Iroha Midori but it eventually grew on me and I thought it was a pretty nice vibe. But this vibe? I loved it from the very first time I used it. This vibe and my clit are like soul mates. The Iroha+ Tori is just perfect for me in every way possible. When Tenga gave me my choice of their new Iroha+ vibes to review, I was instantly drawn to the Tori. That pointy tip looked exactly like the kind of thing my clit would adore and I was not disappointed. Can I also just say that I love the styling of this vibe. It’s cute but yet, in an elegant way – not in that cutesy-cute, “look my vibe is a dolphin” way.

The Tori abstractly reminds me of a small bird. And if I said the Midori was like a little pet then the Tori is even more so. I can’t stop myself from picking it up and squishing it. The Iroha and Iroha+ vibes are very unique in the way they feel. They have a squish like no other vibrator I’ve felt and a silicone surface that is powdery soft. It feels just amazing against your most delicate areas.

The Tori’s vibration is concentrated quite well into that pointy tip that I lust after so much. My clit really wants and needs more focused, pin-point stimulation. I don’t respond as well to broad vibes, like wand massagers. That exquisite little tip nestles down on the right side of my clit (mine’s a righty) and it gives it the exact kind of stimulation it needs. The tip has a lot of squish but it’s firm underneath. So if you want to apply some pressure it feels wonderful and doesn’t dampen the vibration.

The Japanese just do things in such completely different ways – from the shapes of these vibes to the colors, to the delightful signature squish and their little charging display cases. Apparently, they can even perform miracles… they’ve somehow created silicone that actually seems to repel lint. Other companies just don’t make vibes like this. When you get one in your hand you understand that you have something that’s not at all like the same ol’ thing.

Squish!

The vibration isn’t the rumbliest I’ve ever felt but it’s not so buzzy that my clit wants to run away screaming. The tone and intensity of the vibration work for me. It’s got some good power behind it for its size. I’m not sure it would satisfy a power queen but it’s by no means a wimpy vibe. Like, if you need the Hitachi Magic Wand to get off, this probably isn’t gonna be your thing. But that’s like comparing apples and oranges anyway.

The Tori fits in my hand in a way that feels logical. You can operate the two buttons with your thumb. There are 5 levels of steady vibration and 2 patterns (that I will never use). To my complete shock and awe, I reached orgasm twice, on level 2, the first time I used it. I think it’s all about that pointy, focused stimulation that my clit can’t get enough of.

This vibe is waterproof, which makes for easy cleaning with soap and water. I would probably only use water-based lube with this vibe, just to be safe.

The Iroha+ website says that the Tori’s tip is great for “insertable pleasure”. Yeah uhm… no. That would do absolutely nothing for me and would penetrate me less than an inch. I don’t know, maybe something got lost in translation.

I’m not sure what more I can say about the Iroha+ Tori other than… I love it! For me, it is perfect. It gives me the exact kind of stimulation I need to have orgasms with relative ease. I’ve amassed a pretty sizable collection of vibrators at this point and very few of them are ones that I want to keep going back to time and again. The We-Vibe Touch has always been one of my go-to vibes and I feel like I could rely on the Iroha+ Tori in the same way.

It’s the kind of vibrator you can cuddle with, sort of like a comforting plush teddy bear – but thankfully nothing like this. It’s soft, squishy… marshmallow-y and feels just like the previously released squishy Iroha vibes. And these vibrators feel like nothing else on the market. I reviewed the Iroha Midori and it took me awhile to warm up to it. I couldn’t get off with it right away but I thought that it might have just been my uncooperative clit. So, I kept trying and eventually my clit did grow to like it.

I didn’t have that problem with the Iroha Mikazuki. I liked it right from the beginning. I think it has more to do with its shape than anything else because the vibrations feel exactly like those of the Midori. The difference is that the vibration is more concentrated down into the slender tip of the Mikazuki and that shape makes my clit very happy. It’s like a plush vibrating finger that I can use to stroke my clit just the way it likes.

The previous Iroha vibes were chubby rounded little things, while the Mikazuki is long and lean and I like its form a lot more. This is a vibrator that gives me orgasms with relative ease but its not one that I’m compelled to rant about like a mad woman. It’s not that kind of vibrator for me. It’s nice and makes me feel good but I’m not madly in love with it.

This doesn’t mean there’s anything really wrong with it but generally the vibrators I go crazy for are stronger and have more rumble. The Mikazuki’s vibration is a bit on the buzzier end of the spectrum but not so much that it’s unpleasant. It really could stand to be more powerful to suit my tastes but it’s probably strong enough for anyone who doesn’t consider themselves a power queen.

I don’t know if Iroha intended the Mikazuki to be used internally but it’s pretty much useless for that and I knew it would be. I didn’t expect this to be anything other than a clit vibe. Sure, you can use it vaginally but it’s totally boring, for me anyway. So, why is it so long if it’s not great for internal stimulation? Well, I like it because you can grip it far enough away from the center of the vibration that your hand doesn’t absorb a lot of it. You don’t dampen the vibration from holding it, though you can still feel the vibration in your hand but that happens with most vibes. The length of it allows me to hold it in a comfortable position and angle that works really well for the way I masturbate. It’s fabulous for dual stim because neither the vibe nor your hand gets in the way of the other toy you’re using.

There is really only one thing that sets this vibrator apart from others and that’s Iroha’s unique squishy material, which they accomplish by wrapping a layer of silicone over elastomer over presumably, plastic¹. When I first opened up the Mikazuki’s charging case, I was nasally assaulted by a very strong chemical odor. This is likely from the elastomer and it does dissipate after awhile. I don’t smell it at all now. This was also an issue with Iroha’s previous vibrators but they said they had fixed it. It doesn’t appear that they did because the Mikazuki really reeks when you first open it up.

There’s something else unique about the material Iroha has used with these vibrators. I don’t know what kind of magic it is but they’ve managed to create silicone that doesn’t attract lint. It’s powdery soft and stays really clean and everyone likes a clean sex toy.

The functions on this vibrator are pretty simple. You have three levels of steady vibration and one pulsating pattern (which does nothing for me). I like to start on low steady, tease myself a bit then step up to medium and sometimes I can climax there but if I don’t, I can increase it to high and that usually does the trick. Like I said, the vibration is kind of buzzy but it’s a weird kind of buzzy. It’s hard to describe but it’s not that annoying surface level, prickly, numbing buzzy vibration. There is a more pleasant tone to it.

This vibe has two buttons, one slightly larger than the other. You press and hold the larger one to turn it on. Keep pressing the larger button to step through low, medium and high steady vibration and then the pulsating pattern. You can step through the functions in reverse by pressing the smaller button. You press and hold the smaller button to turn it off.

I love how Iroha incorporates the charging into the storage cases. The previous ones looked like cute little transparent display cases but the storage/charging case for the Mikazuki is opaque and it’s an excellent storage solution.

You charge the Mikazuki by placing it in its case so the buttons align with the charging contacts. Then you connect the USB cable either to a USB port or to a wall outlet via the adapter that is included. While charging, a light on the case will come on and it goes off when charging is complete. It takes 120 minutes to reach a full charge and that is supposed to provide 90 minutes of run time.

Iroha makes special mention that the Mikazuki is flexible. I guess it does bend ever so slightly in the middle to a degree that I can’t find any use for. They say it is to “accommodate the varying shapes and sizes of female pleasure zones.” Uhm, no. This tiny bit of flex isn’t anything I think anyone would need or even notice.

Care and cleaning of this vibe is the same as for any other silicone vibrator but for the uninitiated, I’ll elaborate. Soap and water is fine most of the time or you could use a toy cleaner. If there is an occasion in which you need to sanitize it, like you’re sharing with someone else, you could bathe it in a 10% bleach solution and rinse it well with water. Water-based lube is the safest choice since some silicone-based lube is incompatible with some silicone sex toys. But I’m a huge risk taker and have been using Sliquid Silk hybrid lube with no problem. Always spot test if you’re using anything other than water-based lube.

I’m not really feeling the color of this vibe. It’s kind of a sickly looking shade of pale yellow-ish. But at least it’s not a color that has been done to death. We don’t need any more of those.

Almost forgot to mention that the Mikazuki is waterproof. This is a huge improvement over Iroha’s Midori which is only splashproof.

The Mikazuki measures about 7 inches end to end. There are 5 inches from the tip to the buttons. The diameter at the tip measures .92 inches and the shaft increases in size to 1.27 inches at the widest point just before the buttons.

And lastly, as you would expect from any luxury sex toy, the Mikazuki is backed by a one year warranty.

The Iroha Mikazuki is a nice vibe and it’s really the squish factor that sets it apart from other vibrators. I do enjoy it but it’s not one that I’m doing back flips over and stopping people on the street about. It could be that it falls just a bit short of what’s required to get me that excited over a vibrator but it’s likely to make other folks really happy. There’s nothing wrong with this vibe. Nothing at all. I just need something a little different to make me fall madly in love.

The Iroha Midori is more like a pet than a sex toy. A soft, squishy, vibrating, darling little pet. I love this damn little thing but probably for all the wrong reasons. It makes me smile every time I look at it and delights me when I stroke and pinch it. I kind of wish it made a cute little squeaky noise when I squeeze it. That would make me happy. I adore its little enclosure where it rests all safe and secure and I can keep an eye on it while it’s charging.

If all I needed was a delightfully doughy, precious little pillow of a thing against my clit, I’d be drowning in orgasms. It pains me to admit it but as much as I adore my Midori for all its charm, it’s not the best clit vibe I’ve ever used. I wish it wasn’t true but it takes me a really long time to reach orgasm with the Midori. It could be that my clit just doesn’t appreciate how utterly captivating it is. Or maybe, I just need more powerful vibration. But if my clit wanted something to cuddle with, it would totally spoon with the Midori.

If you’re looking for something uniquely plush to smoosh against your clit with moderately powerful vibration then the Midori was made just for you. It’s a soothing and gentle sort of experience that’s pleasurable but just not the exact kind of stimulation I need for intense, efficient orgasms. I do really love the tactile quality of its cushiony surface and maybe if the vibrations were stronger, it would probably work better for me.

The above was written after the first time I used the Midori. I do normally use something a few times before I write the review but I was pretty sure that the Midori wasn’t great for me after just the first use. But I gave it another shot and guess what? It gave me a good orgasm in a reasonable amount of time. Then it hit me. The first time I used it was during a session where I’d already had one orgasm. The next time, I started off with the Midori. It works perfectly fine to give me my first orgasm but I can’t count on it being able to work again after that. In contrast, the We-Vibe Salsa/Tango can easily give me multiples.

So, I have to change my overall opinion of the Midori. I still love it for all the reasons I stated before but now, I have a new appreciation of its orgasm inducing potential. And it’s now become something that I will actually reach for on occasion when I’m only planning a quick, one orgasm session or, to start off a longer session where I’d follow up with a different clit vibe to reach climax again.

The Midori has 4 modes: 3 levels of steady vibration and one pulsating pattern. There are two buttons which are also the charging contacts. Press and hold the + button to turn it on. Press again to change modes. To step backward through the modes, press the – button. Press and hold the – button to turn it off. Unfortunately, this vibrator is not waterproof but Tenga claims it is water resistant so, I’d say only get it as wet as you need to for cleaning and never submerge it.

Charging takes 2 hours and a full charge should yield 90 minutes of run time. There are two metal charging contacts on the base of Midori’s enclosure and you just line up the vibrator and place it on them. A light on the front of the charging base turns on while it is charging and turns off when it is fully charged. You have two options to charge this vibrator, using either the USB cable or the USB to A/C adapter. I’m really glad that Tenga included one of these.

This vibrator is made of FDA approved silicone and it is nonporous, phthalates free and safe for the body. You can clean it with antibacterial soap and water, keeping in mind that it is only splash-proof not waterproof. You could also use a toy cleaner. To sanitize it, you could try mixing a 10% bleach solution in a spray bottle and mist the Midori. Let it dry and then rinse with water. The manual warns against cleaning it with alcohol or highly acidic/alkaline cleaners. Apparently, Tenga has developed some kind of anti-dust coating that prevents it from attracting lint. So far, it seems to be working.

It’s probably a good idea to use water-based lube only with the Midori, as some silicone-based lubes can damage some silicone toys. The noise level for this vibrator is comparable to most other clit vibes I have. I don’t think you’ll have any issues if you’re in a room with the door closed. The Midori comes in one color, a soft pastel green that oddly reminds me of these. It measures 2 7/8” long and 2 1/4” wide. This vibrator is covered by a one year warranty.

The first time I tried the Midori, I thought it was just OK. It turns out that it’s just harder to achieve my second orgasm in a session and for whatever reason, the Midori isn’t great for me after the first. However, when I start out with the Midori, it works really well. The vibration is kind of rumbly and moderately strong on the highest steady vibration mode. The soft little tip of it feels great against my clit and it’s a nice fit in my hand. If you’re looking for something that has a unique tactile quality, I think you’ll be pleased with the Iroha Midori.
