Lelo Soraya Wave Review: A Rabbit With Come-Hither Motion
Editor's opinion
The Soraya Wave is a luxury rabbit vibrator that pairs powerful external vibration with a flexing 'come hither' motion in the shaft. It suits someone who wants layered internal and external stimulation from a single toy and is happy to invest, but the substantial size makes it a poor fit for a first-ever vibrator.
Rabbit vibrators have long promised two sensations at once, but most rely on vibration alone. The Lelo Soraya Wave sets out to do something different by adding movement to the mix: its shaft flexes with a rhythmic 'come hither' motion while a separate arm handles external stimulation.
That combination puts it towards the premium end of the category, so the questions worth weighing are whether the extra motion is likely to suit you, whether the proportions fit what you have in mind, and whether you will get on with a rechargeable, silicone toy that needs a little care in return.
The good and the bad
What works
- WaveMotion adds a flexing 'come hither' feel beyond standard vibration
- Dual action arm targets internal and external at once
- Body safe silicone with a seamless, easy-clean finish
- USB rechargeable, so no battery hunting
- Fully waterproof for use in the bath or shower
What to be aware of
- Substantial at 21.8 cm long and 7 cm wide, so not for beginners
- Premium pricing asks a real commitment
- Silicone body rules out silicone-based lubricant
- Fixed-arm rabbit design won't suit every body's spacing
Buy it if
Experienced users who enjoy internal fullness alongside external stimulation and want the added flexing sensation of WaveMotion in a single, well-made toy.
Skip it if
Anyone buying their first vibrator, or who prefers something compact and discreet. If that's you, a slimmer bullet or a smaller rabbit is a gentler place to start.
WaveMotion And Dual Action
The headline feature is movement rather than vibration alone. The shaft flexes in a beckoning 'come hither' motion, while a flexible arm sits against the external area and delivers the vibrations. In principle this means stimulation on more than one point, with a sensation that a purely vibrating rabbit cannot replicate.
The practical thing to consider is fit. Rabbit-style toys have a fixed distance between shaft and arm, so how well the external arm lines up depends on your own body. The arm is described as flexible, which helps, but anyone who has struggled to get a rabbit's arm to reach the right spot should keep that in mind.
Size And Material
At 21.8 cm in length and 7 cm in width this is a full-sized, substantial toy. That generous proportion is part of the appeal for those who want a feeling of fullness, but it is genuinely a lot for a newcomer, and the width in particular is worth picturing honestly before buying.
The body is made from body safe silicone with a smooth, seamless finish. Silicone feels soft over a firm core and has no seams to trap residue, which is ideal for comfort and hygiene. The one rule it brings is lubricant: use a water-based lube, as silicone lubricant can degrade a silicone surface over time.
Power, Waterproofing And Care
The Soraya Wave charges over USB, so there are no batteries to buy or lose, and it is one less thing to keep in the drawer. As with any rechargeable, it pays to top it up before you plan to use it rather than discovering a flat battery at the wrong moment.
Being fully waterproof, it can be used in the bath or shower and cleaned by rinsing under warm water with a suitable toy cleaner. Let it dry fully before storing. The seamless silicone makes that upkeep straightforward, which is one of the quiet advantages of a well-made single-piece design.
How It Compares
Against a standard rabbit, the Soraya Wave's distinguishing feature is the flexing motion in the tip, which aims to feel more like a stroking sensation than steady buzzing. If it is that particular feeling you are after, few cheaper rabbits offer it.
Against other premium rabbits, the decision often comes down to whether you value that motion enough to pay for it, and whether the fixed arm suits you better than an adjustable or dual-motor alternative. Someone who already knows they like internal movement will get more from this than someone still working out what they enjoy.
The bottom line
The Lelo Soraya Wave is a considered, premium rabbit that earns its place through WaveMotion rather than raw power alone. If you enjoy internal fullness with external stimulation and want that distinctive flexing sensation, it is a strong choice worth the investment; if you want something small, subtle or beginner-friendly, look further down the range.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Soraya Wave suitable for beginners?
It is on the larger side at 21.8 cm long and 7 cm wide, and it combines internal and external stimulation, so it suits someone with a little experience rather than a first-time buyer. A smaller vibrator is a gentler starting point.
What lubricant should I use with it?
Use a water-based lubricant. The silicone body means silicone-based lube should be avoided, as it can damage the surface over time.
Can I use it in the bath or shower?
Yes. It is fully waterproof, so it can be used in water and rinsed clean afterwards under warm water with a toy cleaner. Let it dry fully before storing.
How is it powered?
It is USB rechargeable, so there are no disposable batteries to replace. Charge it from a USB source between uses, ideally topping it up before you plan to use it.
What makes it different from a normal rabbit vibrator?
Alongside vibration, the shaft and arm produce a rhythmic 'come hither' motion through Lelo's WaveMotion technology, giving a flexing, stroking sensation rather than vibration alone.
