The Satisfyer Purple Pleasure is an amazing value at $29.95. The Purple Pleasure has strong, relatively rumbly vibrations in a great form factor that is similar to the We-Vibe Touch and Lelo Siri.

Design and Material
The Satisfyer Purple Pleasure is made from purple silicone and grey/silver ABS plastic. It is 3.7” x 1.75” and slightly over an inch thick, which allows it to fit well in my hand.
I like the design of the Purple Pleasure because it is similar to the Lelo Siri and We-Vibe Touch. The wider area can provide broad stimulation, but the tip can also provide more pinpoint stimulation. At the same time, it does lack the curve and scoop-like shape of the Siri and Touch, as can be seen below.
The Purple Pleasure charges using an included magnetic USB charging cord. The magnetic charging is fairly strong, but it is still possible to knock the charging cable off of the Purple Pleasure. I do appreciate that it is not as weak as the magnetic charging connection of the We-Vibe Touch. A full charge takes approximately 3.5 hours and lasts at least 50 minutes of use. I usually use the Purple Pleasure on the lower settings, and have found that it has lasted for much longer than 50 minutes.
The Satisfyer Purple Pleasure is waterproof (IPX7) and easy to clean. In order to keep it clean, you should take care to clean around where the ABS plastic meets the silicone. There is an imprint of the Satisfyer logo on the back of the toy that could get grimy, but you can avoid that by using the Purple Pleasure with the controls facing you.
Controls and Ease of Use
I love the controls for the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure. Unlike some vibrators, there are two buttons to control the vibration levels. Since there are two buttons, you can easily return to a setting you enjoy, or temporarily lower or raise the strength without having to cycle through each speed or pattern.
In order to turn the Purple Pleasure on, you hold down the raised notch on the toy for a couple of seconds. This raised notch is useful because you can feel the controls without looking at them. This means you can change the vibration settings or turn the toy on and off by finding the raised notch. To switch between vibration levels, you press the top of the notch and the bottom of the notch. Although they are not visible, there are two directional buttons below the notch.
There are five speeds and 10 patterns. As (almost) always, I don’t find these patterns particularly useful, but I do like the strength of the vibrations.
While there is no travel lock, the need to hold the raised notch down for a couple of seconds also means that it is less difficult to accidentally power on the Purple Pleasure.
Does It Do What It Says?
Satisfyer describes the Purple Pleasure as follows:
“This beautifully shaped lay-on vibrator has it all: The rounded tongue stimulates your clitoris with powerful vibrations and is whisper quiet too. “
“Its generous body covers a wide area and its delicate silicone surface and ergonomic design make the Purple Pleasure a chic, reliable companion in your love games. “
I mostly agree with Satisfyer’s claims. The Purple Pleasure’s shape and relatively wide surface area make it an enjoyable vibrator that can provide broader or more pinpoint clitoral stimulation. I disagree with the claim that it is whisper quiet – it isn’t the loudest vibrator, but past the lowest setting, the volume is noticeable.
Should You Buy This?
I recommend the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure vibrator.
The design and vibrations are not as refined as toys with a similar form factor like the Lelo Siri and We-Vibe Touch, but the Purple Pleasure costs $29.95! It is an excellent value.
Specifically, I recommend this if you…
- Want to try an external/clitoral vibrator. If you are unsure whether you would even like a vibrator for external or clitoral use, the Purple Pleasure is affordable, well-designed, and powerful.
- Want an inexpensive backup vibrator. I mostly use the Purple Pleasure as a backup.
