XtoysLelo Soraya Wave Review: WaveMotion Rabbit, Assessed
Editor's opinion
The Soraya Wave is a premium rabbit that pairs powerful vibration with Lelo's WaveMotion tip, so the internal end rolls rather than simply buzzing. It suits someone who wants dual stimulation with a bit more nuance, but at 21.8 cm and a genuine luxury price it is a considered purchase, not a beginner's first toy.
The rabbit vibrator is a familiar shape: an internal shaft and an external arm working at once. The Lelo Soraya Wave tries to move that idea on by adding WaveMotion, a rolling 'come hither' motion in the tip that is meant to mimic a beckoning finger rather than just vibrating in place.
What a buyer is really weighing here is whether that extra motion, plus Lelo's build quality, justifies the size and the outlay. It is a substantial device, and rabbits only work well when the geometry suits your body, so it pays to think about fit before the features.
The good and the bad
What works
- WaveMotion tip adds a rolling motion most rabbits don't offer
- Body-safe silicone with a smooth matte finish
- Fully waterproof for use in the bath or shower
- USB rechargeable, so no battery hunting
- Flexible external arm designed to move with the body
What to be aware of
- Substantial at 21.8 cm long and 7 cm wide, not beginner-friendly
- Premium price for a rabbit-style toy
- Fixed-shape dual design only works if the fit suits your anatomy
- Silicone body rules out silicone-based lubricants
Buy it if
Someone who already enjoys dual internal and external stimulation and wants a step up in quality, with the added novelty of a moving tip rather than plain vibration.
Skip it if
Anyone new to internal toys or who prefers something compact; a smaller, simpler rabbit or a dedicated clitoral vibrator would be an easier and less costly place to start.
WaveMotion And How It Works
The headline feature is WaveMotion. Instead of the internal shaft only vibrating, the tip makes a rolling 'come hither' motion aimed at the front wall, while a flexible arm sits against the clitoris with powerful vibrations. In principle this gives you two distinct kinds of stimulation at once, which is the whole point of a rabbit.
The caveat is the one that applies to every dual-action toy: it only delivers on both ends if the distance between shaft and arm matches your body. The arm is flexible and designed to move with you, which helps, but no fixed-shape design fits everyone. If you have tried rabbits before and found the arm sat wrong, that is worth bearing in mind here too.
Design And Materials
The Soraya Wave is made from body-safe silicone with a smooth matte finish, so it is non-porous and warm to the touch. That is the right material for something used internally, and it wipes clean easily.
The practical consequence of silicone is lubricant choice: stick to water-based, because silicone-based lubricant can degrade the surface over time. Store it away from other silicone toys for the same reason. At 7 cm across at its widest, it is a full-sized shaft, so it asks for a generous amount of lubricant regardless.
Waterproof, Charging And Care
Being fully waterproof means two useful things: it can be used in the bath or shower, and it can be rinsed thoroughly under running water without worrying about the electronics. That makes cleaning straightforward, ideally with warm water and a toy cleaner or mild soap.
It charges over USB rather than taking disposable batteries, which is the sensible modern approach and saves the faff of keeping cells in a drawer. As with any rechargeable, remember to top it up in advance, since it will not run the moment you reach for it if the charge has drained.
How It Compares
Against a standard rabbit, the Soraya Wave's distinguishing feature is the moving tip rather than a plain vibrating one, plus the finish and reliability you expect from Lelo. That is what the premium price buys.
If the WaveMotion motion doesn't appeal, a conventional dual-action rabbit will cost less and do the core job. And if you mainly want external stimulation, a dedicated clitoral vibrator is a smaller, more focused option. The Soraya Wave earns its place for people who specifically want both sensations together, elevated.
The bottom line
The Lelo Soraya Wave is a well-made, waterproof, rechargeable rabbit with a genuinely different internal motion, and it will reward someone who knows they enjoy dual stimulation and wants quality. Given its size and price, it is a considered upgrade rather than an entry point, so buy it because you want what it does specifically, not simply because it is a rabbit.
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 carries a luxury price, so it is better suited to someone with some experience of internal and dual-action toys. A beginner may find a smaller, simpler rabbit an easier and less expensive place to start.
What lubricant should I use with it?
A water-based lubricant. The silicone body can be degraded by silicone-based lubricants over time, so avoid those. Given the width, using a generous amount of water-based lube is sensible.
Can it be used in the bath or shower?
Yes. It is fully waterproof, so it can be used in water and rinsed clean under running water without concern for the electronics.
How is it powered?
It is USB rechargeable using the supplied cable, so there are no disposable batteries to replace. Remember to charge it ahead of time so it is ready when you want it.
What makes WaveMotion different from normal vibration?
WaveMotion gives the internal tip a rolling 'come hither' movement, meant to mimic a beckoning finger against the front wall, while the external arm vibrates. So you get a moving sensation internally rather than only buzzing, alongside external stimulation.
