Not everyone can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on the latest sex toy, which is why We-Vibe wants to make couples’ toys more accessible with their We-Vibe Sync Lite. The Sync Lite is a pared-down version of their incredibly popular Sync—but the Lite only costs $89.
Though it doesn’t come with a remote and it’s not waterproof, I wanted to discover whether it could compete with the original and other couples’ toys in the same price range. Welcome to my We-Vibe Sync Lite review!
My partner and I enjoyed using We-Vibe Sync Lite, and the app was fun as well. The connectivity worked well for me, and my partner could control the device from across town. Overall, this affordable couples’ toy is a much-needed option for people who don’t want to splurge on high-end toys. It’s perfect for someone who wants to buy a quality product from a well-respected brand but isn’t sure if they will get much use out of it. If you have been toying with the idea of buying your first wearable couples vibe, there’s no better device out there for you!
Who Is This For? It’s an excellent first buy for anyone who wants a quality product that will last a long time. The price point and small design make it perfect for people who want to find out if couples’ toys can add pleasure to their sex life without spending an arm and a leg.
Who Is This Not For? If you know you love couples’ toys and want something versatile with features galore, you can find something better if you are willing to pay a higher price. Try the Sync 2 for access to a remote control, waterproof materials, and a magnetic charger. If you find sex painful or have a tighter-than-average vagina that makes penetration more difficult, you may want to try a couple’s toy that doesn’t sit inside your vaginal canal, like Dame Eva.
You Can Buy It on the Lovehoney website for $89.00. Discount code MSTG15 for 15% off!

What Is the We-Vibe Sync Lite?
The We-Vibe Sync Lite is a wearable couple vibrator meant for penetrative intercourse. One arm of this c-shaped contraption fits inside the vaginal canal and vibrates up against the G spot; the other arm reaches around and comfortably vibrates against the clit. The extra stimulation makes it much easier for people with vaginas to reach climax during penetrative sex, which statistically isn’t the most orgasm-inducing activity for women.
First Impressions and Features
Unboxing
We-Vibe’s packaging is consistently good. When I received the We-Vibe Sync Lite, I opened it to find a sturdy, colorful box, and inside that box was the compliance and safety information, the quick start guide, a storage bag, a USB charging cable, and the toy. You can see all the items in the below image.
It doesn’t have a little sample packet of lube, but you can’t expect to have everything from a budget sex toy.
Features
The We-Vibe Sync Lite has pared-down yet thoughtful features, including:
- 10+ vibration modes
- Adjustable fit
- Cotton storage pouch
- App compatibility

How To Use We-Vibe Sync Lite?
- After washing and charging the We-Vibe Sync Lite, decide which way you want to operate the toy: via the app or with the button.
- If you want to use the app (which is less fidgety and less slippery), download the app and pair it with the toy. Then you can create your own rhythms with the touch of your finger, have the vibrations sync with a playlist you create, or allow your partner to control the sensations.
- If you’d rather use the button on the body, skip this step, then follow the instructions for insertion. Feel free to insert it by yourself the first time so you can get comfortable with the process before you’re in the heat of the moment.
- When you’re ready to use it during partnered sex, use plenty of lube and have your partner go slowly and gently until you get the feel for the right angle. The extra sensation will likely be something you’ll both enjoy.

My Personal Experience
Couples toys are some of the gadgets I experimented with even before I was a sex toy reviewer. Getting off during penetration is not something I’ve ever been able to do without a little extra oomph, and the We-Vibe Sync Lite is here to provide that little extra oomph. They can be a major relationship saver and help to correct the orgasm gap.
While some folks may want to blow all their spending money on the latest 28,375 features, that’s not the case for most of the sex-toy-buying community. After testing this device thoroughly, I found that though it’s lower on the price spectrum, the We-Vibe Sync Lite will give you a feel for whether a wearable couples toy will be comfortable and sexy for you and your partner.
Something true of all couples toys is that it can be hard for both you and your partner to be comfortable when you have another little device inside taking up some space. This is especially the case if you experience pain during sex. I can’t emphasize enough how important using extra lube is and ensuring you’re both fully turned on before getting started. The shape was slight and very accommodating, and it was simple enough to use during penetration.
My partner and I enjoyed using Sync Lite, and the app was fun as well. The connectivity worked well for me, and my partner could control the device from across town.
We didn’t miss the remote much, but that’s because I don’t like to fiddle with the settings much. I tend to pick a favorite and use that exclusively, which isn’t very exciting but it’s the truth. However, if you like to move from setting to setting, not having the remote could be a pain. Your best pick would be to stick with remote-control vibrators.
Packaging
The packaging is excellent. 10/10 for the price point.
Design
The design is high-quality, though I found it slightly difficult to stab the charging cord into the toy in the correct way the first time. I was nervous I would break the pin. But I went slowly and gently, and every time afterward has been easy.
One other thing I’ve noticed having reviewed a few We-Vibe toys recently is that they redesigned the storage bag to be smaller (image above). I love this from a sustainability perspective, but it makes it incredibly difficult to fit the charger and toy in the smaller space. I think even another half-inch would make for less of a struggle.
Other than that, the design is impeccable.
Material
The We-Vibe Sync Lite is made from body-safe silicone, so it will feel smooth and soft on your most sensitive parts. However, the material is not waterproof, just splashproof, so take care when washing and don’t use it near the tub or pool.
Stimulations
The vibrations are firmly on the buzzy end of the scale in my opinion. However, this didn’t bother me one bit since I am sensitive and happen to love buzzy vibrations. It’s perfect for adding to the stimulations you feel during PIV sex, but it may not be enough to push you over the edge if you’re using it during masturbation on its own.
Sound Level
The We-Vibe Sync is quiet. When I tested it, it ranged from 33 to 49 decibels. However, it will feel much quieter once it’s placed inside you. You could potentially wear this for public play—just make sure to wear tight-fitting underwear and supportive pants to help it stay in place. If discreetness is what you want to go for, you can find more of the best quiet vibrators in this roundup.
Build Quality and Dimensions
Even though this is a budget model, the build quality is in line with the other We-Vibe toys I have tried. It is nearly seamless. There are some ridges to help it grip and stay in place, but I didn’t find them uncomfortable.
The dimensions are rather small, so it’s perfect for slipping into your purse or carry-on for some on-the-go fun. To get an idea of the size, I put it side by side with other couples vibrators in the above image.
Ease of Use
The We-Vibe Sync Lite is easy to use, however, it will take some practice to get it perfect if you want to use the app. Further, the lack of a remote may present an issue to people with flexibility or grip issues, since you may have to use the single button on the body( circled in the image below) if you aren’t using the app.
We-Vibe App
Call me crazy, but I’m a fan of the We-Vibe app (screenshots below). To get started using it, download the app by scanning the QR code on the box. When you press the + button on the home screen, the app will give you step-by-step instructions for pairing your toy. Press the button on the Sync Lite for five seconds until the light starts flashing to get it ready to pair with the app. You’ll know it’s paired once it vibrates three times and the light no longer flashes.
If you plan on using the app with your partner, get things ready ahead of time. Since you can create a playlist, it’s best to do this beforehand so that you don’t go down a musical rabbit hole when your partner is ready and waiting in bed for you. If you’re wondering which songs are best, I would recommend fast songs with a lot of bass. This vibe is lighter on the vibrations, so you’ll want something pretty deep and heavy.
Overall, the We-Vibe app is relatively easy to use. The app gives you step-by-step instructions to pair the toy, and it’s an intuitive setup. Though some users have reported issues with the connectivity, I haven’t had any trouble with it.
Versatility
This toy is primarily for people who want to add extra sensation to partnered, penetrative sex. Beyond that, it’s not extremely versatile. You could use it as a standalone vibrator, but it would be better to pair it with a dildo. You could travel with it because it’s so small, or you could use it for public play since it stays in place well and is reasonably quiet.
However, there are also lots of places the We-Vibe Sync Lite doesn’t belong, like anywhere near water or your anus. If that’s an issue for you, we suggest getting vibrators for your anus instead, you can check the best anal vibes right here.
Warranty and Support
We-Vibe offers a two-year warranty on its products as well as a 100-day money-back guarantee.
Minor Issues I Found During Testing
The only major bummer about Sync Lite is that it’s not waterproof. Not only does that lessen the versatility, but it also makes it more complicated to clean. That aside, this is about as good as it gets for a budget couples’ toy.

We-Vibe Sync 2 vs. We-Vibe Sync Lite
Several features are missing from the We-Vibe Sync Lite that its predecessor has, but that’s why the price is so competitive. First, the Sync Lite doesn’t have a remote control as the Sync 2 did, which means that your only two choices for operating it are via the button on the toy or with the app. Next, the Lite isn’t waterproof, only splashproof, so it won’t be great for bringing into the shower or tub, and cleaning it will be more complex.
The Lite also has a pin charging cable, which is a bit less durable than the Sync 2’s magnetic USB charging cable. The ridges on the Sync Lite are more comfortable, which is one point lost for the Sync. If staying on budget is your priority, you’ll want to choose Sync Lite. But if you want more features, a waterproof exterior, and a remote control, you can read the full review of We-Vibe Sync 2 right here and grab the product for $159.
We-Vibe Chorus
The We-Vibe Chorus is similar to the We-Vibe Sync Lite but it has more features, luxurious upgrades, and a higher price point. This little couple’s device tops the price list at $209, but that’s only because it has the coolest remote by far. The We-Vibe squeeze remote allows you to squeeze for higher intensity, something most people do naturally as they begin to reach orgasm. It’s waterproof and a more lavish experience overall.

Dame Eva
Dame Eva is a cute little bug-shaped vibe that defies the traditional c-shaped couples vibrator design. Instead, this is a little device that lies in between your labia, delivering clitoral vibes and freeing up your vulva for penetration, your favorite dildo, or whatever else you have in mind!
Dame Eva is waterproof, perfect for traveling thanks to the travel mode, and lasts a long time. However, it costs $135 and can be difficult to keep in place unless you use the absolute minimum amount of lube. But it’s an excellent design alternative for people with vaginismus or dyspareunia where adding an internal device is out of the question. More about the Dame Eva Couples Vibrator in this full review.
Lelo Tiani 2 and 3
Both Lelo Tianis are c-shaped couples vibes with a few important differences. The Lelo Tiani 2 got one thing right: it has two sizes and shapes of the internal arm so you can pick which is most comfortable for you. The big square head makes broad stimulation possible during coupled sex, and the smaller one is best for pinpoint. If you want to try both types of stimulation and want a remote control, the Lelo Tiani 2 will suit you better than the We-Vibe Sync Lite.
The Lelo Tiani 3 lacks the extra arm size option, so it won’t fit as many sizes and shapes of bodies well. I wish more couples’ toys had a couple of shapes to choose from so you could learn more about your body and what you like the best. Both Tianis have a remote control with SenseMotion that you can tilt or shake to increase the stimulation.
The Lelo Tiani 2 costs $149.99, and you can grab the Lelo Tiani 3 for $169.99. You can read the full reviews for Tiani 2 and Tiani 3 by clicking their respective links.
