This sex toy is developed in response to women’s changing attitudes toward self-pleasure, from avoidance to embrace. The design team set out to address common industry issues such as rigid forms, low-quality materials, and overlooking women’s real needs, aiming to create a human-centered solution that respects and responds to women’s needs.
Functionally, the sex toy introduces a “seesaw” dual-frequency tapping system powered by a reduction motor, enabling simultaneous stimulation across multiple points. Combined with 10 tapping intensities, 10 vibration modes, 7 pulsation patterns, and a heating function, it delivers a layered, progressive sexual pleasure. The overall proportions are ergonomically refined, with the head tilted upward at a 120° angle to adapt to the physiological characteristics of Asian women, ensuring precise stimulation without the need for adjustment.
The sex toy draws on the rounded form of morning dew and the flowing curves of rippling water. With the use of negative space, it looks like an elegant artistic piece. A retro purple and creamy white color scheme echoes the soft, diffused lighting of 1970s French art films, creating a premium, private, and relaxed atmosphere.
In terms of materials and craftsmanship, the sex toy adopts a three-part architecture: a skin-friendly body, a supportive structure, and functional buttons. The skin-friendly body is made of food- and medical-grade liquid silicone with a soft, skin-friendly touch and antibacterial and anti-mold properties. The supportive structure uses high-strength ABS to ensure structural stability and durability. The functional buttons combine ABS with a matte zinc alloy finish for enhanced wear and scratch resistance. A seamless construction prevents dirt accumulation. With an IPX7 waterproof rating, the sex toy supports a freer exploration of self-pleasure across bathrooms and other settings.
