Lelo Ida Wave - Black

What Is the LELO Ida Wave Vibrator?

The LELO Ida Wave vibrator is a dual stimulation device designed for use during solo play or partnered intimacy. Retailing at £179.99, it sits at the higher end of the personal wellness market — and for good reason. It combines internal WaveMotion™ technology with external clitoral vibration, all controllable via the LELO app or the device itself. Sexual wellbeing is an important part of overall health, and tools that support pleasure and intimacy can contribute positively to emotional and physical wellness. If you're exploring options for sexual health products, you might also find our condoms and sexual health collection useful.

The Ida Wave comes in a sleek black finish and is made from body-safe, medical-grade silicone. It's rechargeable, fully waterproof, and whisper-quiet — practical features that matter in real life. Whether you're new to couples' devices or upgrading from something simpler, this product is built with thoughtful design in mind.

How Does the LELO Ida Wave Work?

The Ida Wave uses two distinct mechanisms working simultaneously. The internal arm features LELO's WaveMotion™ technology, which creates a come-hither wave motion rather than simple rotation. This mimics natural finger motion internally. At the same time, the external arm delivers targeted clitoral vibration. Together, they create a layered experience that neither arm could achieve alone.

• The internal arm rotates and waves to stimulate the anterior vaginal wall
• The external arm vibrates against the clitoris with adjustable intensity
• Both arms can be controlled independently via the LELO app (iOS and Android)
• Eight vibration modes and variable intensity settings are available
• The device connects via Bluetooth for remote or partner-controlled use

Who Should Use the LELO Ida Wave?

This device is designed for people with a vagina who are looking for dual stimulation — either alone or with a partner. It's particularly well-suited to couples who want to incorporate a wearable device during intercourse, as the ergonomic design allows for comfortable use in that context. It is not suitable for anyone with active pelvic inflammatory disease, recent pelvic surgery, or conditions where internal stimulation is contraindicated. Always speak to your GP or pelvic health physiotherapist if you have any concerns.

• Adults seeking dual clitoral and internal stimulation
• Couples wanting app-controlled shared experiences
• Individuals exploring wearable vibrators for the first time
• Those who prefer rechargeable, body-safe silicone devices

Is the LELO Ida Wave Safe to Use and How Should It Be Stored?

The LELO Ida Wave vibrator is made from body-safe, phthalate-free silicone, which is non-porous and easy to clean. After each use, wash the device with warm water and a toy-safe cleaner, then allow it to dry fully before storing. Keep it in the satin storage pouch provided to prevent dust accumulation and silicone degradation. Store away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If you experience any skin irritation, redness, or discomfort during or after use, discontinue immediately and consult a healthcare professional. For those managing broader intimate health concerns, our women's health collection includes a range of relevant products.

This product is a non-medicinal wellness device. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

What Is the LELO Ida Wave and What Is It Used For?

The LELO Ida Wave Black is a wearable, dual stimulation personal wellness device intended for adult use. It is not a medicinal product and does not treat, diagnose, or cure any medical condition. Its purpose is to support sexual wellbeing and intimacy — both solo and with a partner. Sexual health is recognised by the World Health Organisation as an integral part of overall health and wellbeing, and devices like this one can play a role in supporting positive intimate experiences.

The device is designed to be worn internally during use, with the external arm resting against the clitoris. It can be operated manually via the buttons on the device or remotely through the LELO smartphone app. It is suitable for adults of any relationship status and is particularly popular among couples seeking shared, app-controlled experiences.

What Do You Need to Know Before Using the LELO Ida Wave?

Before using this device, please read the following carefully. While it is a non-medicinal product, there are important safety considerations to be aware of.

Do not use this device if you:

• Have active pelvic inflammatory disease or a current vaginal or pelvic infection
• Have recently undergone pelvic, abdominal, or gynaecological surgery (consult your surgeon first)
• Are pregnant, unless specifically advised otherwise by your midwife or GP
• Have a known allergy or sensitivity to silicone
• Have a pacemaker or implanted electronic device (Bluetooth devices may interfere)
• Experience pain during internal use — stop immediately and seek medical advice

Interactions and compatibility:

• Do not use silicone-based lubricants — these degrade the silicone surface of the device
• Water-based lubricants are compatible and recommended
• Oil-based lubricants may also damage the material and should be avoided
• Do not use with latex condoms placed over the device, as this may affect material integrity

How Should You Use the LELO Ida Wave?

Using the Ida Wave correctly ensures both comfort and safety. Take your time getting familiar with the device before use, especially if this is your first wearable vibrator. You can also explore our range of personal lubricants to find a compatible water-based option.

1. Charge the device fully using the USB cable before first use (approximately 2 hours)
2. Clean the device with warm water and a body-safe toy cleaner before and after each use
3. Apply a water-based lubricant to the internal arm for comfortable insertion
4. Insert the internal arm gently, ensuring the external arm rests against the clitoris
5. Power on using the central button, or connect to the LELO app via Bluetooth
6. Select your preferred vibration mode and intensity — start low and increase gradually
7. After use, power off, clean thoroughly, dry fully, and store in the provided pouch

What Are the Possible Side Effects of the LELO Ida Wave?

As a non-medicinal device, the LELO Ida Wave does not carry a traditional side effect profile. However, as with any product used internally or on sensitive skin, some people may experience adverse reactions. If any of the following occur, stop use immediately.

Common reactions:

• Mild localised irritation or redness, particularly with prolonged use
• Temporary discomfort if the device is not correctly positioned
• Mild soreness after extended sessions

Less common reactions:

• Allergic contact dermatitis in individuals sensitive to silicone (rare)
• Vaginal microbiome disruption if the device is not cleaned properly between uses
• Discomfort or pain if used with an active infection or post-surgical healing tissue

If you notice unusual discharge, persistent pain, or signs of infection following use, contact your GP promptly. Good intimate hygiene is essential — the NHS advises that the vagina is self-cleaning and that harsh products should not be used internally.

How Should You Store the LELO Ida Wave?

Proper storage extends the life of the device and maintains hygiene between uses. Follow these guidelines:

• Store in the satin pouch provided by LELO after every use
• Keep in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight
• Do not store near sharp objects that could puncture the silicone
• Do not store in extreme heat (e.g. a car glove box in summer)
• Ensure the device is fully dry before storing to prevent bacterial growth
• Charge every 3–4 months if not in regular use to maintain battery health
