Here’s another vibrator I couldn’t wait to test and review. It’s a world first in terms of its technology.
Have I piqued your interest? Good. I think I’ll let you wait a while longer before revealing the hidden feature of the Cascade Ripple. It’s the Domme coming out in me. Lol
The Cascade arrived in a sturdy clear plastic sleeve silver-printed outer designed to be hung up in stores and complete a set of bullet pointed features on the rear.
Within was the Cascade encapsulated within a sturdy white box. Under the white plastic liner you will find the charging cable with USB connection and connector to attach your cable to the vibrator.
Outwardly this vibrator looks very much like any other conventional vibrator but it holds a secret…
Ok, I’ve kept you in suspense long enough. This vibe is innovative and one of a kind being self lubricating. How, I hear you all shout out? It has a built in chamber to house lube capsules.
I referred to the user manual for instruction on inserting my lubricant cartridge which is basically a soft tube of fluid sealed with a foil cap. The instructions for insertion and removing the travel lock are easy to follow and in 8 short steps you are locked and loaded. Or should I say unlocked. Lol
Next came the charging…
…the rear of the manual indicates the charge time should be 4 hours with a runtime of up to 4 hours and a standby time of 90 days. I almost missed this info which is useful when preparing and maintaining your vibrator.
Initially I plugged my Cascade Ripple vibe in to the USB port on my PC and found that the adapter between the USB lead adapter and the vibrator proved a bit flaky and tended to fall off. I had to ensure the vibrator, connection and wire were all supported on top of my machine in order for them to stay in place. Perhaps the magnet that holds the connector to the vibe could be a little stronger?
After several hours I switched to my Micro USB lead and plugged directly in to the mains and hoped the charge time would at least be less than that indicated in the manual from the USB port charging.
The instruction leaflet advised that the light in the handle would glow red when charging and turn green when fully charged. I found that the light would glow red for a few moments and then flash, I tried adjusting my connection several times but couldn’t get a constant red light.
After 4 hours of being on charge the light was still flashing red with no visible sign of changing to green. But it worked, so I was going to carry on with this review regardless.
You will be required to remove the travel lock on your Cascade vibrator before use. You can do this simply by holding down the vibration and power buttons (either side of the middle button) for 5 seconds.
The overall look and feel of this vibrator is that of the early Lelo days, especially the soft seamless silicone shaft and ABS control handle.
The Cascade Ripple does attract attention being the first lube dispensing product and I couldn’t wait to…get wet with it. ;0
But before I enjoy the moist delights of the Cascade Ripple I’ll let you in to some of her secrets.
- Offers “Lubeplay”, self lubricating technology with water based lubricant. Pressing and letting go of the lube button dispenses a metered dose which is adequate for play. But you can keep the button depressed to release more should it be required.

- With an easy to operate interface you can control the power, vibratory patters and the speed of each.
- Has 3 modes, constant, pulsing and escalation each with 3 speed settings.
- Is powerful but quiet in use for those moments you want a little discreet pleasure.
- Can be charged via a USB port with the adapter supplied or via the mains supply with your own Micro USB lead.
- With it’s slightly curved and deeply rigged tip it should target the g-spot with ease.

I’m not sure if it’s the business woman in me but I had one of the best mornings sales-wise for a while and felt rather triumphant. Though there was another motivation lurking in the background.
I also felt RANDY!
What better time to go off and test a toy than then? A dirty, happy tester is a good one. Lol
My Cascade Ripple Vibrator was already awaiting my attentions on top of my chest of draws where I had placed it earlier having given her a good wash with anti back soap.
I walked past her grabbing her en-route to the curtains, pulling them too against the bright but cold day. I was aware that there was going to be a delivery at some point in the afternoon so best get on with, don’t want to answer the door to the toy delivery guy panting and flushed…or maybe on the other hand… 😉
Ignoring the cat happily sleeping at the bottom of the bed I pulled back the duvet placing my vibe on the mattress. This was to be a quickie, a naughty quickie, the best kind. I slipped out of my jeans and panties and rolled under the duvet.
How sexy! Laying there in my socks, complete with t-shirt and bra. Lol But this was about fast tracking satisfaction, slipping one in before I was disturbed and knowing that also added to the excitement of the occasion.
I placed the Cascade between my thighs, it was cool but would soon be warmed between my hot thighs, ready for use. As I slipped the vibe from between my legs I pressed the Power button and the interface illuminated, one more press and the vibe sprang to life.
The low thrum of the vibration soon had my hands tingling. This is going to be good I thought to myself as I pressed the lube button in the middle of the control panel. A small blob of lubricant appeared on the top of the shaft.
Enjoying the full girth of the Cascade Ripple sink deep inside me I felt satisfied and the vibrations started rippling through my pelvis and tummy. The tip came to land against my g-spot and I added some downward pressure to the base levering the tip in to closer contact.
This felt good, felt very buzzy indeed. I moved through the vibration patterns to the escalating mode pressing the button twice more to take it to max speed. OMG! That low hum was so good, massaging my vaginal wall and making me tingle.
I had to try it against my clit!
If you are going to use the Cascade Ripple on your clitoris ensure that the control panel is facing away from you before pressing the lubricant button.
The power rippled through me as I pressed the tip gently against my clitoral hood and I shuddered under its power as I massaged the lubricant on to my hot flesh. I flipped her over and my clit began to swell beneath the silicone rigged tip as I moved it up and down my clitoris exposing my sex.
My clitoris was now throbbing in time with the waves of vibration offered by the Cascade Ripple Vibrator. As I guided the tip up and down my clit I felt my nerve endings fire and my auto responses kicked in, my toes tingled, my legs became wobbly as my body became engulfed by the power of the orgasm building in my loins.
I swore. I’m sure I swore as I held my breath, arched my back and enjoyed the sweet release of all my tensions.
Now sensitive I removed the tip of the vibrator from my swollen nub unable to bear any more arousal, powered it off and lay back on the bed panting as my heart beat the rhythm of ecstasy.
