We-Vibe Melt 2 Review:

My Honest We-Vibe Melt 2 Experience

We-Vibe Melt 2

The We-Vibe Melt 2 has finally landed, and as someone who’s spent a good chunk of time with the original We-Vibe Melt, I was very curious to see how this updated version would stack up.

The first We-Vibe Melt became one of those go-to, quietly brilliant toys in my collection — the kind you don’t talk about every day, but definitely reach for more than you'd expect. So when the We-Vibe Melt 2 showed up with promises of stronger pulses, built-in patterns, and “Smart Silence” (yes, that’s a thing), I had high hopes.

I've now had the chance to unbox it, test it, and compare it directly to the original.

This review blends my hands-on experience with the technical details, so if you're wondering whether the We-Vibe Melt 2 is worth your money or just curious about what’s new, I’ve got you covered.

Unboxing the We-Vibe Melt 2: My First Impressions

Since I’ve unboxed the original We-Vibe Melt before, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect from We-Vibe. Their packaging is always on point. It’s sleek, sturdy, and gift-worthy. But even knowing that, I still had that little spark of excitement opening up the We-Vibe Melt 2. There’s just something about fresh sex tech that gets me every time.

The box itself is compact and elegant. It slides open smoothly and reveals the We-Vibe Melt 2 sitting snugly in its molded tray like a little luxury treat. Right away, I noticed the color. I went with the sage green version this time, and it’s absolutely gorgeous in person. It has a soft matte finish that looks great in photos but even better in real life.

Compared to unboxing the We-Vibe Melt 1, the experience is pretty much the same. It's minimal but high-end. Inside, you get the toy, the magnetic charging cable, a satin storage pouch, and the usual documentation. There's also a safety seal on the charging area, which is a nice touch for peace of mind.

When I picked up the We-Vibe Melt 2 for the first time, I immediately noticed the difference in texture. The silicone feels a little grippier and more rubbery than the original Melt’s silky smooth finish. I actually pulled out my OG Melt to compare side by side. The difference is small, but it’s there. Whether you like one more than the other just comes down to personal preference.

Even though the design is the same, the We-Vibe Melt 2 feels a bit more solid in hand, maybe because of the texture. The form is familiar, especially if you’ve used the We-Vibe Melt 1. It’s got that slim, curved shape, magnetic charging contacts on the bottom, and well-placed buttons that are easy to reach mid-use.

One thing I appreciate is that the manual is straightforward. It covers everything from how to power on the toy to using the Smart Silence feature and syncing it to the app. I always flip through the instructions just in case there’s something new or something I missed.

Overall, unboxing the We–Vibe Melt 2 felt like revisiting an old favorite with a couple of fresh updates. If you’ve opened a Melt before, this will feel familiar in the best way. And if this is your first We-Vibe toy, it’ll definitely feel like you just treated yourself to something special.

How to Use the We-Vibe Melt 2

Controls & Battery Life

The We-Vibe Melt 2 has five buttons in total, and once you get used to them, it's pretty intuitive. I’ll break them down for you.

There are two main sets of buttons: the intensity controls (+ and -), the pattern controls (< and >), and one special function button with the We-Vibe logo (~). These are located on the back of the toy, right where your thumb naturally rests during use—no awkward hand gymnastics required.

Here's how each one works:

+ and - Buttons:

These are your power and intensity controls.

Hold the + button for a couple of seconds to turn the toy on.

  • Once it's on, you can tap + or - to adjust through the 12 intensity levels.
  • To turn it off, just hold the - button for a few seconds.

If you're traveling, you can activate or deactivate the travel lock by holding both + and - at the same time for about 2 seconds. Super handy if you’re tossing this in a suitcase.

< and > Buttons:

These control the seven preset patterns.

  • Tap > to cycle forward through the patterns, or tap < to go back.
  • The patterns are well-designed, and I found myself especially enjoying the last two, which have that nice rise-and-fall rhythm. You can stay in one pattern the whole time or switch between them mid-session, depending on your mood.
We-Vibe Logo (~) Button:

This button activates the Smart Silence feature.

  • With the Melt 2 turned on, press this once, and Smart Silence kicks in.
  • The toy will only vibrate when it's touching your skin (or even skin under light fabric).
  • Want to disable it? Just tap the same button again.

If you're using the We-Vibe app, hold this button down for about 5 seconds to sync your toy with your phone or tablet. The app will walk you through the connection process.

It might sound like a lot at first, but once you've used it once or twice, it becomes second nature. The buttons have a soft, clicky feel and good placement, so you won’t accidentally hit the wrong one mid-session.

Run Time and Charging

Battery life on the We-Vibe Melt 2 is solid.

  • It takes about 90 minutes to fully charge using the included magnetic USB cable.
  • A full charge gives you around 120 minutes of continuous use, depending on your intensity settings and whether you’re using Smart Silence or app features.

I’ve tested this a few times, and the 2-hour runtime holds up. I use mine on mid-level settings (level 5 to 7 most of the time), and it easily lasts me through several sessions before needing to recharge.

The charging contacts are located on the back of the toy, right above the logo button. The magnetic charger snaps on easily, and there’s a little LED light that blinks while charging and turns solid when it’s fully charged.

So, in short: the controls are user-friendly once you learn them, the Smart Silence adds a nice tech touch, and the battery life is long enough that you won’t feel like you're charging it every other day. I love a toy that’s reliable, and this one checks that box.

We-Vibe Melt 2: New Features + My Honest Experience

#1. Smart Silence

Smart Silence keeps the toy quiet until it senses contact with your skin. It only activates when you're using it, and goes silent when it loses contact. Great for privacy and a bit of power-saving, too.

My experience:

Honestly, I wasn’t sure how useful this would be until I tried it. At first, I kept wondering if I’d turned the toy off by accident. But after a few uses, I came to appreciate it. No sudden buzzing when you're adjusting or fumbling around. It’s discreet, especially if you're playing with a partner or need a quieter toy in shared spaces. And yes, it works through fabric, too. Pretty clever.

#2. Preset Vibration Patterns

Unlike the original Melt, the Melt 2 comes with 7 built-in patterns and 12 intensity levels. No need to rely on the app to get some variety.

My experience:

This was a big win for me. I used to have to dig into the We-Vibe app to make my own patterns on the Melt 1. With Melt 2, the patterns are already there, and they’re good. I especially love the last two modes—they have a rise-and-fall feel that’s super satisfying. I didn’t feel the need to use the app as much because the presets just… work. So if you're lazy or just not into customizing everything, this is a huge plus.

#3. Enhanced Motor Performance

Melt 2 has stronger, deeper air pulses compared to the original. It's still gentle when you need it to be, but it has more range and power when you want more intensity.

My experience:

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is the biggest upgrade I noticed. The Melt 2’s pulses feel deeper and more rumble. With the OG Melt, higher intensities sometimes felt a bit buzzy, especially if I wasn’t warmed up yet. Melt 2 gives a stronger sensation, but it still feels soft and controlled. It’s like someone took the same toy and gave it better lungs.

#4. New Color Options

The Melt 2 comes in fresh new colors—sage green and purple—aside from the usual deep pink/red vibes most toys stick with.

My experience:

Okay, not a dealbreaker, but I love when sex toys don’t all look like bubblegum or lipstick. I got the Sage One, and it’s so pretty in person. Feels a little more modern and less toy-ish, if that makes sense. I keep it out in my drawer, and I don’t feel like I have to hide it.

#5. Improved Silicone Texture

Compared to the silky smooth silicone of the Melt 1, the Melt 2 has a slightly grippier, rubbery texture.

My experience:

I noticed this right away during unboxing. The texture surprised me—I ran my fingers over both models side by side to compare. The new grip is nice during use, especially if your hands are slick or you're switching positions. That said, I prefer the old silky feel for comfort. This one’s going to come down to your texture preferences. Functionally, it’s great. Comfort-wise, I slightly miss the OG finish.

#6. Extended Battery Life

Melt 2 gives up to 120 minutes of play on a 90-minute charge, which is an upgrade from the original.

My experience:

The battery life has been excellent. I used it for several sessions over a week without recharging. I mostly use it on mid settings (level 5 to 7), and it holds up well. No stress about losing power halfway through. And when I did plug it in, it charged fully in about an hour and a half. Magnetic charger snaps on easily, too, which is always a plus.

We-Vibe Melt 2: Pros and Cons

I’ve spent a solid chunk of time with the We-Vibe Melt 2, and honestly? It’s a pretty sweet upgrade. That said, no toy is perfect (even the ones that come close). So here’s my take—personal experience meets real data—on the pros and cons of the We-Vibe Melt 2.

Pros

  • Stronger, Deeper Air Pulses: Dual motors deliver deeper, rumblier sensations that feel more satisfying than the original.
  • Smart Silence Feature: Activates only on contact, making it perfect for discreet use and battery-saving.
  • Preset Patterns (Finally!): Seven modes with 12 intensities each—good enough to skip custom settings.
  • App Compatibility: Still syncs with the We-Vibe app for music, custom patterns, and long-distance control.
  • Same Sleek, Low-Profile Design; Maintains the original’s ergonomic shape for easy solo or partnered play.
  • Battery Life: Lasts around 120 minutes on a full charge—plenty for multiple sessions.

Cons

  • Slightly Grippier Silicone: The rubberier texture grips better but may drag without enough lube.
  • Higher-Pitched Sound: Same volume as before, but the pitch is slightly sharper than the original.

Final Thoughts: You’re Allowed to Want More

If you already liked the original Melt, the We-Vibe Melt 2 feels like a thoughtful upgrade rather than a full reinvention — and that’s a good thing. It keeps what worked and just smooths out some of the friction points (figuratively, not literally — although texture-wise, that’s debatable).

The Smart Silence and built-in patterns make it more convenient and beginner-friendly, while the stronger air pulses and extended battery life add value for experienced users. I love the deeper sensations and the fact that I don’t have to open the app every time I want to switch it up. That’s honestly the kind of quality-of-life change I didn’t know I needed.

That said, the new silicone texture might not be everyone’s favorite — I still lowkey miss the silky finish of the original. But that’s a small tradeoff considering everything else you get.

Bottom line: The We-Vibe Melt 2 is a solid upgrade with smarter features, stronger performance, and less app-dependence. If you’ve never tried air pulse before, it’s a great intro. And if you already own the We-Vibe Melt 1 and are wondering if the upgrade is worth it, I’d say yes, especially if you want more control without relying on your phone.
