The Lora DiCarlo Sway warms you up so you can get hot and steamy in the bedroom. Or the shower, or the kitchen...we don't judge.
The Verdict: 



(out of five)
Do most sex toys leave you cold—particularly when it comes to your (ahem) nether regions?
Are you hankering for a vibrator that brings more than a single buzz to your self-pleasuring party?
Then I’ve got great news for you, for Lora DiCarlo’s Sway not only sports a state-of-the-art warming system but is a double-ended pleasure product.
Plus, it’s from Lora DiCarlo: a highly regarded sex toy designer and manufacturer. A company that, in addition to elevating the overall quality of vibrators through products like the Sway, also played a pivotal role in getting femtech products the respect they deserve.

The Toy
Overall, the Sway looks somewhat like a slightly longer, S-shaped vibrator. Inside, however, is where the magic happens. In this case, it has a high-intensity motor at both ends so that users can flip it over anytime they like to deliver those luscious vibrators to where and how they’re needed the most.
That alone is quite remarkable, but Lora DiCarlo has another impressive trick up its sex tech brilliance sleeve as the Sway is also equipped with what they refer to as WarmSense: a built-in heating system that automatically warms the toy to a toasty 104° Fahrenheit (or 40° Celsius).
This helps users avoid the unpleasant and definitely unsexy temperature shock that can sometimes happen when you pick up, switch on, and apply other vibrators to yourself without giving it time to get close to your natural body temperature. Time that, of course, could have been better spent getting to that all-important self-pleasuring action.

How'd You Use It?
There’s an excellent reason why Lora DiCarlo’s Sway is a double-headed toy, as each end has been specifically designed to deliver two uniquely different sensations.
The top, for example, that has a slight rise to it, is ideal for g-spot or prostate massage. About that, here’s also why Lora DiCarlo’s Sway’s length is a benefit and not a drawback as normally I’d be tisk-tisking about not using anything save a dedicated anal sex toy for that kind of thing, though not here as there’s very little or no risk to getting it lost up there.
Lora DiCarlo’s Sway is also fantastic in other ways, as well, as its motors have the perfect power-to-intensity ratio to make it a fun nipple or clit-pleasing toy. And it’s a bit too much or too little; you can reduce the vibrations or flip the toy around until you find your sweet spot.
I had a lot (and I mean a lot) of fun with Lora DiCarlo’s Sway, with or without my partner, as it’s that rare kind of sextoy that just about anyone can have a blast fooling around with it. Again, I have to talk about its size as it’s been a common complaint with vibrators that, especially in the “throes of passion,” keeping ahold of them can be somewhat problematic.
Not with Lora DiCarlo’s Sway, as it’s ideally designed and absolutely comfortable to hold and, therefore, put it to good use.
In addition to allowing quick use without the need to heat it beforehand also gives it a remarkably realistic feel and makes it just the thing if you’ve been turned off by the cool mechanical feel of other sextoys.

How Else Could It Be Used?
Lora DiCarlo’s Sway is one of the rarest of sex toys as it can be used anywhere for just about any kind of sexual pleasure. As I mentioned, it’s as fab for nipples as it is for the clit or all over and around the vulva.
If you have a penis, it’s a blast to tickle that anatomical feature as well. And as I also previously talked about, if it’s anal stimulating you’re seeking, then you don’t have to pick up any other toy as Lora DiCarlo’s Sway works as well there as it does on every other part of the body.
Then there’s that Lora DiCarlo’s Sway is waterproof, so you can indulge in all sorts of splishy-splashy sexy times in your bath or shower and never have to worry about it conking out on you.
Product Details
Lora DiCarlo’s Sway is just shy of nine inches long (228mm to be exact) and varies in width from a little less than four inches to three inches.
Like many other toys, Lora DiCarlo’s Sway is made of body-safe medical grade silicone on the outside and ABS plastic on the inside.
At its top speed, I’d hardly call it loud, as when I put it under the covers of my bed, I could barely make it out when I stood by it. This should undoubtedly come as a relief to those who worry their sexual activities will wake the neighbors or frighten the horses.
In the vibe department, Lora DiCarlo’s Sway has seven intensities that can be selected for either of its twin motors and, from there, four distinct vibration patterns.
Admittedly, it can feel somewhat odd when each motor is buzzing away and a few times experimenting with it, I felt like the hand I was using to hold onto it was going numb, but this also opens up the possibility that it could be used by two people at once, with Lora DiCarlo’s Sway held or wedged between them.

How It Works
After initially changing it for a full two hours, you’re all set to begin using your Lora DiCarlo Sway.
In the center of it is what I guess you could call its primary control, which also doubles as its power-level indicator when it’s charging up, with each of the four segments of its circular LED light indicating if it needs more juice or is all set to go.
Holding this button down briefly gets things ready for use. Though if for some reason you change your mind, or it should somehow get powered up accidentally, the Sway will automatically turn itself off after five minutes of non-use.
If you’re traveling with it, there’s also the option to lock the toy to avoid TSA embarrassment. Just press the power and one of the vibration buttons, and it’s engaged—and then the same to release it.
Above the main button is another marked with a wave pattern. This is where you switch on the WarmSense heating feature. Unlike the vibrations, however, this will warm both ends of the toy.
Finally, at the very top and bottom are the single-button controls for power and for cycling through the toy’s intensities and those preset patterns.
Here's a closer look at each end:

Materials and Care
Charging the Lora DiCarlo Sway is done through the provided USB cable that magnetically attaches to the toy. A special call-out is due here, and further testament to Lora DiCarlo’s quality, as, unlike the many toys I’ve test-driven, their magnetic charging system does what it’s supposed to in staying connected. Still, it can get dislodged but far more than I’ve experienced with their competitors.
