Vida International does not seem to be an active manufacturer anymore. The Vanta doesn’t seem to be in production. However, I’m leaving this page up as a reference for anyone who wants information on the old toy. – April 2019.
A representative from Vida International contacted me and asked if I’d want to review a product of theirs. All of their line looks beautifully made and just downright gorgeous and luxurious. When I received a Vanta (their clitoral vibrator) in the mail, I found that looks really can be quite accurate.
The Vanta is about five inches long and has a diameter of an inch. It’s made from silicone and aluminum – both very body-safe materials and phthalates-free. The Vanta is a rechargeable vibrator in the Vida Internationale series. It’s made exclusively for external stimulation and was made with obvious care involved. It’s beautifully rounded, and there aren’t any seams that would be a problem during use. In case you are concerned about purchasing, the manufacturer includes a one-year warranty on any sort of defects of the product as well.
The Vanta and all of Vida Internationale’s product have been receiving a lot of press lately – especially when it comes to celebrity press. All of their videos are available on their YouTube page where you can see some of their recent release parties. I’ve even friended them on their twitter page where you can receive updates about what their “agent” of pleasure is doing. In fact, they even have a gentlemen line that is to be released in July 2010.
When I first received the Vanta, I was in absolute amazement. Even with other luxury toys I’ve owned, none of them came this nicely packaged. The Vanta itself comes in a gorgeous, black carry-on case – almost like what you’d expect with your make-up. It has a handle and is made from faux leather. It has the “Vida” symbol inscribed in the front, and a zipper that goes around the top-half of the bag. The zipper can get stuck once in awhile, but it’s nothing major. When you open up the case, you’ll see the gorgeous Vanta in some foam – feels more like memory foam than regular foam. It’s black, velvety, and it obviously will be protecting the Vanta. The Vanta fits in the foam perfectly – it even includes two little finger holes on either side of the vibrator to allow you to pick it up more easily. It holds the Vanta so snugly that even turning the case upside down with the lid open doesn’t drop the female vibrator. It stays in place perfectly.
If you pull up the memory foam that the Vanta is in, you will find the charger wrapped in black plastic. Opening the plastic is easy and then you can take the time to plug in your Vanta. However, you don’t need to plug it in once you receive it – the Vanta comes fully charged. On to the top of the lid is a small microfiber storage bag for your luxury vibrator. If you find that you don’t want to keep it in the storage case, you can untie the bow on the storage bag, open it up all of the way, and slip the vibrator into the pouch that’s inside. From there, you can just close the bag back up and re-tie the bow. I personally prefer to keep it in the storage tote, but if you love to keep your favorite vibrator near your bed at night, the storage pouch works perfectly to keep your luxury vibrator safe.
When you first receive the Vanta, it will be charged up. However, when you first decide to charge your Vanta, leave it charging for at least three hours – as per the instructions. Every other time you charge it, it should be charged easily within an hour. To recharge the Vanta, just open the little silicone piece on the bottom of the vibrator to expose the charging hole for the vibrator. From there, the charger can be plugged into the vibrator. The instructions recommend against using your Vida Internationale vibrator while its plugged into the wall. After its fully charged, you can use the toy for up to two hours at full power.
To turn on the vibrator, you just press the button on the front of the Vanta. The back of the LED light will turn pink, and the vibrations will turn on. From there, you can scroll through the vibration strengths by pressing the button. To turn off the vibe, you just hold down the button for three seconds, and it will turn straight off.
The vibration strengths are nothing short of downright amazing. It’s nothing like the Hitachi’s power, but for a rechargeable and portable vibrator, this thing easily packs a large enough punch to satisfy any woman. It has five different levels of vibration – there aren’t any patterns, but the strength of the constant vibrations packs an amazing punch. The lowest level starts off at what a regular vibrator would call a medium. then we move to what most would call a high, then really high, then amazingly high, then ridiculously high vibrations. The regular high setting could satisfy a regular vibrator user unless you require really strong vibrations. However – even then, the vast majority of women who require strong vibrations will still be satisified by these vibrations. In case you are curious, the vibrations for the Vanta are centered in the tip of the toy but carry nicely down the shaft as well.
The vibrations can get to be a little loud on some of the higher settings. The three lowest settings wouldn’t be able to be heard through a closed door, but the two highest could possibly be heard through a closed door if someone was attempting to listen in. However, some quiet music being played would easily mask the sound. It’d be even more masked if you covered yourself with a blanket while using the vibrator.
This sex toy claims to be waterproof as well. From my experience, that appears to be true. Even with the charging point at the bottom of the toy, it withstood being splashed, being cleaned, as well as being dunked under a couple inches of water. If you want to play in water, just make sure the charger cover is covered.
The Vanta (which means “Want” in a foreign language) is such a great vibe because its so non-threatening. Whether you want to use this by yourself or with a partner, it doesn’t seem like an object that would be intimidating to you nor to your partner. If you are nervous about bringing a vibrator into the bedroom – either because of you or because of your partner – this one works great, doesn’t require batteries, and is a non-threatening and visually pleasing shape. If you are an advanced user and just want some amazingly strong, luxurious, and green to the environment, this is a great buy as well.
I personally love it. The case is gorgeous, and the vibrator works amazingly. It has strong vibration levels, is made from body-safe materials, and provides pleasure perfectly. It completely covers the clitoral area, and the buttons don’t get in the way during use. The handle is curved perfectly to be held during use as well. The LED light will let you know when its on – which obviously isn’t require during use – but the fact that Vida thought enough to even make the color of the LED match the toy just makes me happy. It’s an amazing toy, and I have to say I’ve enjoyed quite a few orgasms from it already. The vibrations make it perfect as a clitoral toy, and since that’s how I enjoy my pleasure, this works amazingly for me. If you like clitoral pleasure, this has my recommendation 100%.
The Vanta is only intended for external use. It’s large enough that it could be used internally, but I doubt it would be long enough to be comfortable for extended use. If you are looking for an internal vibe, Vida Internationale also makes a vibe called “Lussuria”. If you are seeking g-spot pleasure, Vida makes the “Zara” as well. Both are the same in structure but are longer and curved perfectly for insertion.
During play with your Vanta, water-based lubricant is recommended. Because part of this toy is silicone-based, using silicone lubricant could actually end up injuring the toy. Play it on the safe side and only use water-based lubricant with your gorgeous new sex toy. After use, you should wash the Vanta with anti-bacterial soap and some warm water to keep it clean and bacteria-free.
This sex toy is a great choice for the beginner or the advanced user alike. If you are seeking a good-quality, luxury sex toy that will last for years while providing amazing amounts of pleasure, the Vanta is the way to go. Since many people are trying to reduce their impact on the environment, purchasing the Vanta could be a good idea. It’s rechargeable, phthalate-free, and made without mercury nor cadmium. The Vanta isn’t sold in many retail stores that I’ve found, but it is sold on the Vida International website. To purchase your own Vanta, just head over to their website.
This is a video that will show you the different strengths of the vibration as well as how the Vanta works.
