We-Vibe Tango X Review 2024: A Few Things You NEED To Know!

We-Vibe Tango XWe-Vibe Tango X is the latest iteration of We-Vibe’s lipstick-shaped bullet vibrator, the original We-Vibe Tango. While I was excited to review this one, I also knew it had a lot of competition. Plus, when I review bullet vibes, they always have a lot to live up to. Would the Tango X become my new go-to toy? Would I appreciate the upgrades from the original? Read on to find out!

Key Takeaways
4.5 out of 5 stars

I was impressed by Tango X! It’s challenging to pack power into small packages, but We-Vibe managed to do just that. It’s small, discreet, quiet yet rumbly, body-safe, and affordable—so it ticks all my boxes for the perfect bullet vibe – highly recommended!

Who Should Try It? If you love clitoral stimulation and want something that doesn’t scream “veiny dildo,” Tango X is for you. If you own an original Tango and love it, this upgrade will wow you even more. It’s also great for stimulating other erogenous zones, for example, nipples and inner thighs.

Who Can Skip It? If you prefer simultaneous internal and external stimulation or want a super-powered wand, other products like Lelo Soraya Wave would serve you better.

First Impressions and Features

We-Vibe Tango X features at a glance:

  • Material: Body-safe silicone and ABS plastic
  • Size: 3.93 x 0.90 x 0.96 inches
  • Color: 2 colors Midnight blue (navy blue) or cherry red
  • Mechanism: Clitoral bullet vibe
  • Weight: About 1 oz

Packaging

The Tango X arrived discreetly packaged in a cardboard box, complete with safety seals so that you know no one else has used this toy before. Inside the box, the toy came with everything I needed:

  • The vibe itself
  • A charging cable
  • A white satin storage bag
  • A quick start guide
  • Safety instructions,
  • A sample packet of lube

Including the lube was a thoughtful touch because many people operate under the misconception you don’t need lube if you’re not using a toy internally. But that’s not true. You always need lube. Always.

The backside of the box

The storage bag for the Tango X is much larger than what’s necessary to house this tiny vibe. It seems that We-Vibe may use a one-size-fits-all style bag, so you get the same one no matter which toy you order.

After I opened the box, it was time to read the user manual. The quick start guide for the Tango X is simple and colorful, which I appreciate. It has three steps: wash, enjoy, and charge. It is easy to operate, so more instructions aren’t necessary.

The content of the box

The safety instructions are much heavier on the details. It’s been a while since I read an attention-grabbing set of sex toy instructions, and I have We-Vibe to thank for the entertainment.

It’s always fun to read what lawyers say about a sex toy! They have a way of coming up with something surprising and delightful.

In this case, they dive right in with a one-two punch of “Sold as a novelty product only. Not suitable for medical purposes.” So, there you have it. If you were hoping to monitor your blood glucose levels with this thing, I’ve got bad news for you: it’s just a vibrator. Nor can you use it as a tiny crutch if you’ve broken your ankle or inhale it to stop an asthma attack or bandage your finger with it if you’ve cut yourself. It has only one function, and that’s for “novelty use,” which in legalese means masturbating.

Then, they use two sentences to tell you not to use it anally: “This product is not designed for anal use. Do not use anally!” It’s true; you shouldn’t—it’s strictly prohibited. This thing will get lodged so far inside your gastrointestinal tract you are sure to be the talk of the ER. Stick to butt plugs or other anal-specific toys for your backdoor fun.

To sum up, don’t use the Tango X for medical procedures or use it anally, and you should be all set for a good time.

Material

The sex toy is made from ABS plastic and body-safe silicone. The silicone is soft enough, but the part you place against your clit is hard plastic.

Dimensions

Tango X is just a few inches long. It’s the size of a tube of lipstick, perfect for sticking in your purse when you don’t know what adventures the night may hold.

Body

The body of the Tango X resembles lipstick well enough to fool your guests when they come for a visit. If you want the full effect, choose the cherry red color, as midnight blue is less common for a lipstick choice.

How To Charge We-Vibe Tango X?

The We-Vibe Tango X is USB rechargeable, and it has a magnetic charger that you plug into a USB port, which is my favorite kind! The magnetic plates on the charger make charging it a cinch—there’s no way to get it wrong.

The website says the battery life is up to two hours, and it should take an hour and a half to charge. When I tested the device, the battery lasted just over two and a half hours (two hours, thirty-four minutes), and it took eighty-five minutes to charge.

The device charging

The light blinks while it is charging, and when it stays on, it’s fully charged. The battery light is dim, though, which is imperative. Some sex toys look like an ambulance parked in your bedroom while they charge.

How To Use We-Vibe Tango X?

The We-Vibe Tango X is simple to use:

  1. Charge it, wash it, and then turn the toy on.
  2. Grab some water-based lube they provide, and put the toy wherever you want to feel the powerful vibrations.
  3. There are three buttons on the We-Vibe Tango X. The plus button turns the toy on and increases the intensity.
  4. The s-shaped button (also known as the wave button) cycles through the seven different vibration modes: vibrate, pulse, tease, wave, tempo, heartbeat, and cha-cha.
  5. To turn the travel lock off or on, press the plus and minus buttons for two seconds, and the device will pulse twice.
  6. The minus button will decrease the intensity or, if held down, turn it off.

Warranty and Support

The Tango X has a two-year warranty for defects in material.

How To Clean We-Vibe Tango X?

Since this sex toy is fully waterproof, it is straightforward to clean. Just wash the toy with warm soap and water. Use a toothbrush for in-depth cleaning of the seams and ridges occasionally.

My Personal Experience

Design

The design balanced several factors. For instance, the need to keep the price point affordable while also housing a powerhouse of a motor. I think it worked out perfectly. It packs power, and with lube, it’s comfortable enough for regular use despite the plastic tip.

Design-wise, I like that you can tell where the buttons are, so you don’t have to stop in the middle and look at the toy to make adjustments. However, having indented buttons combined with two materials and a magnetic charging cable means there will be seams, making this slightly more difficult to clean, which is a minor tradeoff.

It has seven vibration patterns you can cycle through. I tried them but typically stuck with the simple vibration pattern.

Ease Of Use

I love the power of bullet vibrators, but the shape also matters. The lipstick contour of the Tango X will work well for some people—but not all. People who prefer broad stimulation will find any angle of this vibe a bit pokey. I can enjoy either, depending on my mood, so I liked the pinpoint.

Stimulations

From the first time I turned the Tango X on, I knew it was powerful. Surprisingly powerful. It’s like an ant carrying way more than its body weight. It just packs a punch. Even at lower vibration intensities, you can feel the deep power of the Tango X.

Though the new Tango is strong, it’s not deep-tissue-massage-strong. And yet, it’s one of the strongest bullet vibes in my drawer.

Comfort

The Tango X has a silicone base and is oh-so touchable—plus, it does a lot to mute the sensations of vibration and save your fingers from going numb. And believe me, it has deep vibrations, so your fingers would otherwise go numb.

I usually prefer toys that are head-to-toe silicone. But in this case, the silicone handle was enough to make the overall experience comfortable, and it provided an easier grip when things get lube-y.

But since the lipstick-style tapered tip is hard ABS plastic, it’s not velvety against your skin. You’ll want to use lube so it doesn’t feel like hard plastic. But that’s why it has such a competitive price point; they used more affordable materials. I am so used to silicone toys that the rigidity of the plastic stood out to me, but I wasn’t bothered by it as long as I used enough lube.

Versatility

The Tango X is small enough that you can effortlessly use this during penetrative sex. The key is to choose positions where your hands have some breathing room. Missionary position can be a bit confining (though it’s still doable), but doggy style, spooning, or cowgirl are all perfectly comfortable.

Like other bloggers, I am now obsessed with this new toy!

Final thoughts: I was impressed by this toy. It’s hard to pack a lot of power into a small package, but We-Vibe managed to do precisely that with the Tango X. It’s small and discreet, quiet yet rumbly (not whisper quiet), body-safe, and affordable—so it ticks all my boxes for the perfect bullet vibrator and an all-around great toy.

  • Discreet
  • Rumbly vibrations
  • Completely Waterproof

  • The seams make it a bit challenging to clean.

Is We-Vibe Tango X worth it?

If you are a fan of clitoral stimulation, love a travel-friendly toy, and want something that doesn’t scream “veiny dildo,” this is the bullet-style vibrator for you. If you own the first version and love it, this one will wow you even more. It’s also a great choice if you like to stimulate other erogenous zones, for example, your nipples.

Who Can Skip This Sex Toy

If you prefer internal and external stimulation at the same time or want a super-powered wand vibrator, other sex toys will better serve you.

How It Stacks Up Against Other We-Vibe Toys

We-Vibe products have many more bullets to choose from than just the Tango. I’ve compared We-Vibe’s similar offerings below.

We-Vibe Tango X and Touch X

Original We-Vibe Tango (We-Vibe Tango vs. Tango X)

Compared to the original Tango, the Tango X includes several upgrades. The original is listed as a “classic bullet vibrator,” while the X is called an “intense bullet vibrator.” So the X is more powerful, and the extra intensity means it’s slightly larger.

Their charging ports are different (the Tango X is sleeker and stays connected more easily thanks to a strong magnetic connection), but both are rechargeable and have comparable battery life.

The original Tango doesn’t have a travel lock, so jet-setters will want to upgrade to the Tango X.

The original Tango has a single button, while the X is controlled by three buttons, meaning you can increase and decrease the intensities without cycling through all the patterns.

The silicone grip on the new version also helps prevent your fingers from going numb, which is crucial for people who like long, lingering self-pleasure sessions (me! It’s me). Without it, people using the original Tango will probably want to switch hands in the middle because numb fingers can be distracting.

The silicone handle is nicer to touch, in general. You can also keep a better grip on it once it’s covered in lube since it won’t be the slippery plastic you’re trying to hang on to.

However, if you’re using the bullet vibe to pair with other toys (like inserting it into a strap-on), the original is sleeker and will fit better. But for most novelty usage, the silicone handle will be an essential upgrade.

They cost the same amount—$79—but you can often find the original on sale for $59. Overall, the Tango X is an excellent improvement over the original Tango.

We-Vibe Touch

The We-Vibe Touch retails for $99, though you can often find it on sale for $79. It’s another small, discreet, hand-held vibrator. It’s not quite as small as the Tango, but you could still fit it in most purses. The Touch is a bit more powerful than the Tango, and it’s an ideal shape for partnered use. If you like the Tango but want more power and a softer surface against your clit, this is the vibrator to choose.

We-Vibe Touch X (We-Vibe Touch X vs. Tango X)

The Touch X comes with a few upgrades from the We-Vibe Touch. For one, it’s softer. The Touch X’s charging cable has also been upgraded from the original model to a magnetic USB charger. The Touch X also has a more powerful motor than the original Touch. The We-Vibe Touch retails for $99 as well. Compared with the Tango X, the Touch X is more powerful but also a bit buzzier. If you want a softer, even more powerful vibrator, the Touch X is an excellent selection.

Hot Octopuss Amo

In a previous post, I reviewed another fantastic bullet vibrator, The Hot Octopuss Amo. The Hot Octopuss Amo doesn’t come with a storage bag, while Tango X does. Both last 2+ hours after a full charge, and both are waterproof.

Hot Octopuss Amo

I think the Hot Octopuss Amo edges out the Tango X in style—it looks sexier. However, it loses when it comes to power. The Tango X is more powerful by a long shot.

The box and packaging of the two are roughly of similar quality. The Hot Octopuss is also much cheaper: it costs $49.95, so it’s a better pick for anyone on a budget.

Dame Kip

Dame is good at fitting a powerful motor inside a small package, which is what they did with the Dame Kip lipstick vibrator. It’s slightly more ergonomic than the Tango X, and its shape is contoured perfectly for anyone who loves pinpoint stimulation.

In addition, Dame Kip has a less robust battery life (about 90 minutes) than both the Tango X and the original Tango, so keep that in mind. The silicone is softer than the Tango X, and it costs $75—slightly cheaper than the Tango.

You can find even more products in our extensive bullet vibrator review article. And we also have a comprehensive guide on the best lipstick vibrators.
