Why my first vibe, Uno, has me (and all of TikTok) obsessed
When you think of TikTok, you probably don't immediately think of sex toy recs. The latest meme? For sure. A funky makeup hack? Definitely. But tips for spicing things up in the bedroom? Not really what you'd expect.
Though you’d think TikTok is the place for cute animal buddy videos or sneaky hacks to get unblocked by your ex, it's actually dropping some legit tips in the sex toy arena too.
Today, we’re diving into something called Uno — and nope, not the card game. Uno is this sleek, versatile vibrator that’s perfect for anyone new to the sex toy game. It comes from intimate wellness brand Nancy, and their stuff is super discreet, really easy for beginners, and can chill right on your nightstand or tuck away in your drawer. And though it kinda pains me to say it, TikTok really nailed it this time.
So here’s absolutely everything you need to know...
I am sceptical of most things, but #tiktokmademebuyit
As someone new to the whole vibrator scene, I was sceptical about Uno at first. It’s tough for me to trust anything that’s blown up online, especially on TikTok. Plus, like I mentioned, I’d NEVER used a sex toy before.
Eventually, I gave in. All those videos online really got to me, and let’s be honest, the cute pink design didn’t hurt either.
Uno: A vibe for newbies
The team at Nancy really did their homework before dropping their first vibrator, and what they found was shocking. Most toys out there were either way too intense or just plain intimidating to use. But Uno was created to fix all that.
Uno stands about 9cm tall and could easily pass for a stylish paperweight on your coffee table. But it's way more than just a pretty piece. It features a precision tip designed specifically for targeted clitoral stimulation, and it’s made from super-soft, medical-grade silicone that feels amazing just to hold. Plus, it’s super discreet and low-key, so if your nosy mom or dad ever stumble upon it, they won’t make a big deal out of it.
Here she is in all her glory!
And for those who are asking – yep, it’s waterproof, so shower sex is fully on the cards.
Why is Uno viral on TikTok?
We scoured the app to find out why, and let’s just say there are some sex-positive queens out there sharing raving reviews. Out of breath and looking positively delighted, customers are flocking to TikTok to share their experiences with Uno.
Actress, singer, and pleasure advocate Aryn Cristobal noted that “[Uno] was actually very powerful for such a small toy”, she had tried it, and that it was “very effective”.
Creator and entrepeneur Tabitha Rice mentioned that although she was skeptical at first, she was “pleasantly, pleasantly surprised,” and that “she saw colours after five minutes.” Whew! Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
“Thank you lord… it’s amazing”
One giveaway winner was not only ecstatic to have won Uno, but claimed that she had tried it and that it was “amazing” and her “new bestie”.
I made my friends try Uno first…
I wasn’t sold just yet, so sneaky me made my more ‘experienced’ friends buy Uno first. And they definitely had some words to say.
The glowing reviews speak for themselves. Right then was when I knew I had to try it for myself.
So, how do you use Uno?
FYI, even certified sexologists vouch for Uno. Here’s sex coach Sara Tang from Sarasense with a short and quick demo on how to use the toy.
And, don’t forget…
As with any sex toy, clean it before and after use with a mild, antibacterial soap or sex toy cleaner.
Remove any piercings or jewelry in the genital area.
Get comfortable and apply lube to the toy, yourself, or both! Water-based lubricant is recommended to avoid damaging sex toys.
Spread the labia slightly to expose the clitoris and press on it with the head of the toy. Use light pressure to maintain precision point stimulation.
Explore the different settings and enjoy!
What do you get with Uno?
Hello Nancy presents two enticing options for those ready to dive into a world of pleasure:
Just Uno ($65, originally $119): This is the core offering, providing you with Nancy’s debut personal massager. It's tailored especially for those new to the world of self-exploration.
Beginner Bliss Bundle ($159, originally $229): For those who want to explore more, the Beginner Bliss Bundle is for you. It not only includes Uno but also Lem, a beginner-friendly clitoral air suction toy, the Pleasure Pouch, perfect for discreet storage, and a Playtime Pleasures guide, which is essentially a beginner's roadmap to pleasure.
At first, I hesitated because of the price. But then I thought, this is my first vibrator, and I didn't want to skimp on quality. I've always believed in the saying, "You get what you pay for." And with something as personal as this, I wanted the best.
I also opted for the Beginner Bliss Bundle. Why? Because I wanted to try both the vibrator and clit sucker to see which one I liked. It also felt like the best value for my money (I mean, who doesn't love a good deal?).
The final review
All right, no more stalling - let's get down to it. Does Uno live up to the hype?
Firstly, the nitty-gritty. Uno had a host of practical features I loved:
Comfortable – Specifically designed to be ergonomic, it was easy to hold during solo sex.
5 settings – Whoever said variety was the spice of life wasn’t kidding. The five intensities can take you from warm-up to blow-up and everywhere in between.
Quiet – While no vibrator is totally silent, this was relatively quiet and won’t alert your upstairs neighbors. Although I can’t promise the same when it comes to you…
USB charging – Uno charges quickly using magnetic USB chargers, so there’s no obtrusions to spoil your playtime.
Waterproof – As mentioned, Uno is completely waterproof, so it's suitable for all your rub-a-dub adventures.
So, what about the sensation? To be honest, as someone new to the world of pleasure toys, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, I started on the lowest setting and built my way up, and my God, it is powerful. Almost immediately the magic started to happen, and I had to put it through a number of tests to try out all the functions (tiny violin). I guess what I’m saying is it gets you there, and it gets you there fast. I can’t say I was timing it (way to kill the mood), but trust me.
The combination of intensity and design is truly mind-blowing, and you’d be forgiven for thinking you were at the mercy of some sex wizard.
Rest assured, I can safely say I’m as addicted as the rest of TikTok – for something so unassuming-looking, Uno sure does deliver.
It’s your turn now (if you’re lucky enough to still get it)
It blends right in!
Despite my initial reservations, Uno turned out to be an awesome surprise. It's a bit quirky and a whole lot of fun, and I’m really glad to have it in my life now.
For anyone curious about diving into self-pleasure, Uno is a fantastic starting point. I can't speak for the sexperts, but for beginners, it's definitely a winner. I mean, just look at me—going on and on about it!
Anyway, YES. Get Uno. You won’t regret it!
PS. One thing that was incredibly frustrating was that Uno was initially out of stock. I waited weeks to get the damn thing!
So, if you do visit their website, hellonancy.com and stock is available, make sure to get it ASAP as you never know when they might run out again. I also found this code online, ‘PLAYTIME’, that’ll get you 15% off if it still works!
Happy shopping 😉
