Spoiler: the LELO ENIGMA Wave caught me off guard. Having been a sexual wellness writer for the last three years, I can pretty accurately guess some of the key characteristics of a new LELO launch — soft-to-the-touch silicone, a minimum of eight vibration modes and the ability to cope when submerged under water.
But, the ENIGMA Wave offers triple stimulation — hold space for the audible gasp — something we’ve not seen from LELO or any other online sex toy shop before. Yep, it’s safe to say that I was wrong to assume this was, simply, a clever spin on the rampant vibrator — you know, the dual-action toy type made famous by Charlotte York in that Sex and the City scene — because instead of teasing me in two places at once, this tips you over the edge with a trio of motors.
Intrigued? Read on for everything you need to know about potentially one of the best LELO sex toys to date. Plus, thanks to the return of the Swedish brand’s (typically very generous) Black Friday sale, you can now save up to 50% on your newest companion. Plus, with every order that totals more than £150, you’ll also receive a free SONA 2 Travel Sonic Clitoral Massager. Uh, sold.

LELO ENIGMA Wave at a glance:
Fitted with three pint-sized, yet surprisingly powerful, motors, the LELO ENIGMA Wave targets pleasurable pulses at your C-spot and G-spot simultaneously. Yep, while that ergonomic (AKA super flexible) internal arm houses one, the other two sit within that mini mouth. The one deep inside sends rumbly vibrations to the core of your clitoris, while the other focuses more on buzzy sensations where the toy and your skin meet.
The intended result? A big, blended climax that should bring with it a host of mental benefits too — say, stress relief and a healthy dose of the happy hormone, dopamine. Yeah, I was pretty much sold on reading that too, despite staying fairly loyal to my collection of clit suckers.
The teaser — intended for use by women and people with vulvas, although there are no rules to say you can’t use this with a partner — also comes fitted with the brand’s patented WaveMotion Technology. Essentially, the internal motion gently builds before pulling back and dropping in intensity (just like a wave) for a super unique route to orgasm.
Other useful features to note: it’s 100% waterproof, earning that all-important IPX7 rating and is easily controlled via the three-button interface. For context, the same control panel is found on the LELO SILA and the SONA 2 Cruise (read our full review here). Hold the central ‘()’ button for three seconds to power it on/off before lightly pressing it again to cycle through the eight modes (three persistent patterns followed by five rolling ones). To alter the intensity of each mode — yes, this toy’s tailorable — use the ‘–’ and ‘+’ for multiple options per rhythm.
What (satisfied) shoppers had to say:
One of the many (many) perks of shopping online is that you can read what your fellow sex toy enthusiasts have to say about their latest purchase. To date, the LELO ENIGMA Wave has racked up more than 250 five-star reviews, including this recent rave: “The best toy I own! Works every time.”
