Knude Society Sex Toys Review: Gwen, Lennon, Wanda & Bette

Who Are Knude Society?

Knude Society describe themselves as a women-led sexual wellness company on a mission to ‘reclaim what real pleasure looks like‘.

Founded in 2020 by Em, initially as a lockdown passion project, the brand positions itself as a softer, more thoughtful alternative to the shouty, gimmicky end of the sex toy market.

Their whole ethos is built around the idea that pleasure shouldn’t have to look, feel or sound a certain way, and that a lot of us have been left disappointed by toys designed around someone else’s idea of what sex should be.

Alongside founder Em, Knude Society also works with Em, a somatic sex therapist, who creates and oversees the brand’s Pleasure Club courses and educational content.

In other words, this isn’t a brand trying to sell you a terrifying neon rabbit with a name like Thunder Bunny 9000. It’s very much part of the newer sexual wellness movement: softer branding, calmer colours, body-safe silicone, discreet packaging, and messaging built around real pleasure rather than pornified performance; similar in many ways to Biird and Smile Makers, two women-focussed, beginner-friendly brands I rate highly.

The question, as always, is whether the toys themselves live up to it.

The Knude Society Sex Toy Range

The range is small with just four toys; Gwen (green clitoral vibrator), Lennon (blue flexible g-spot vibrator), Wanda (yellow dual-ended wand vibrator) and Bette (red finger vibrator), alongside aphrodisiac chocolates, lube and pleasure courses.

The range of toys feels cohesive, thoughtfully branded, and clearly aimed at women who want sex toys that feel approachable rather than intimidating. The colours are muted, the packaging is genuinely lovely, and to be honest they look more like expensive beauty items than something designed to live in your bedside drawer next to old receipts, loose paracetamol and tangled chargers.

But branding only gets you so far.

So after testing four of Knude Society’s Gwen, Lennon, Wanda, and Bette, here’s what I actually thought.

Quick Comparison: Knude Society Collection Review

Toy	Best For	Power	What I Liked	Downsides	My Verdict
Gwen (RRP £65) Buy here	Beginner-friendly clitoral stimulation	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆	Quiet, easy to use, broad stimulation, genuinely versatile, travel-friendly	Some power queens may want more intensity	Best overall toy in the range. The easiest recommendation and the one I kept reaching for most.
Wanda (RRP £63) Buy here	Dual internal/external use	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆	Dual-ended design, flexible, quiet, much more useful than expected	Not a true wand powerhouse	Runner-up. Great during partnered sex and far more manoeuvrable than traditional wands.
Lennon (RRP £54) Buy here	Gentle internal/g-spot stimulation	⭐⭐⭐☆☆	Slim, bendable, unintimidating, clever shape	Too flexible for people who prefer firmer pressure	Interesting but niche. I liked the concept more than the execution personally.
Bette (RRP £34) Buy here	Sensitive users and total beginners	⭐⭐☆☆☆	Soft vibrations, finger-loop design, approachable	Far too gentle for me	Fine for complete beginners. Underpowered if you already know you like stronger stimulation.

Gwen Review: Beginner-Friendly Clitoral Vibrator

What Is Gwen?

Let’s start with my favourite! The green Gwen Clitoral Vibrator is a small, waterproof, external clitoral vibrator with 5 varying intensity levels and 5 vibration patterns, designed as an approachable everyday vibrator rather than an ultra-powerful wand.

At £65, it sits in the mid-range pricing bracket and feels aimed towards beginners or women wanting a softer, more versatile vibrator.

What I Liked About Gwen

Gwen is probably the easiest toy in the collection to recommend broadly.

It’s small, lightweight, unintimidating, entirely covered in soft silicone and easy to hold during sex or masturbation without feeling cheap or basic (or feeling the vibrations running down your arm). It’s got one button so it’s easy to use, and the curved shape works well for broad clitoral stimulation. It feels much more thoughtfully designed than a lot of ‘starter’ vibrators that seem to assume beginners deserve terrible products.

The broader head also helps diffuse vibrations nicely rather than delivering aggressive pinpoint stimulation.

Size- and noise-wise, Gwen is the perfect discreet sex toy to pop in your hand luggage and take on holiday with you.

Any Downsides?

If you prefer extremely strong clitoral stimulation, Gwen may not completely satisfy you. This is not a ‘cross your eyes and briefly leave your body‘ style vibrator. It’s gentler, softer, and more gradual.

For some people that will be perfect. Others may want more intensity for the price point.

Lennon Review: Flexible G-Spot Vibrator

What Is Lennon?

The Lennon G-Spot Vibrator is a slim flexible g-spot vibrator with a bendable shaft and slightly bulbous head designed to help target internal stimulation more easily.

And yes, “bend-in-half-able” is apparently the official technical term.

It can also be used externally – or wherever you want it really! – and has an RRP of £54.

What Makes Lennon Different?

Lennon is probably the most interesting toy in the range design-wise. A lot of g-spot vibrators are rigid, bulky, get in the way during sex and take up most of a bedside drawer but the Lennon vibrator goes in the complete opposite direction.

It’s flat, thin, long, and bendable. The flexible shaft makes positioning easier, particularly if you struggle with rigid toys that never seem to hit the right angle without requiring advanced pelvic geometry.

The slimmer shape also makes it feel much more accessible than oversized insertable vibrators – particularly approachable for people new to internal toys. It also might scratch the itch if you’re looking for a flat vibe to go between bodies during missionary sex, if you don’t mind holding it in place.

The only downside is that there are two buttons, which makes it slightly more complicated than it needs to be. One would have done the trick.

Is Lennon Powerful Enough?

This will probably depend on what you enjoy from internal stimulation. The flexibility makes it versatile and comfortable – but much like the Swan toy previously reviewed which had the same bendable quality, I personally need more pressure from a more rigid toy. If you enjoy gentler g-spot stimulation and manoeuvrability, Lennon might be for you.

Wanda Review: Dual-Ended Wand Vibrator

What Is Wanda?

The Wanda Wand Vibrator is Knude Society’s dual-ended wand vibrator designed for both internal and external stimulation. I’ve got to admit, I love a dual-ended wand; the Mylo wand and the LELO Switch are both go-to toys.

However unlike those two and traditional wand vibrators, Wanda is much smaller, quieter, and more flexible – and cheaper, too, with a £62 RRP.

What I Liked About Wanda

Wanda feels like Knude Society’s attempt to modernise the classic wand vibrator.

Instead of the enormous heavy ‘could also be used for DIY home renovations‘ style wands like the mains-powered classic wand, Wanda feels manageable, and much easier to manoeuvre. Again, this one would make a good travel toy.

The dual-ended design makes it versatile rather than forcing you to switch between toys mid-session, and the curve gives it far better g-spot potential than the Lennon. Sorry, Lennon

It’s also significantly quieter than many traditional wand vibrators, which a lot of people will appreciate if they live with housemates, have thin walls or simply don’t want their vibrator sounding like a lawnmower starting up. If quiet is your deal-breaker, we have a list of quiet sex toys right here.

Any Negatives?

If you’re specifically buying Wanda expecting Magic Wand-level power, you’ll probably need to recalibrate your expectations slightly as this feels more like a softer reinterpretation of a wand vibrator rather than a direct competitor to the extremely powerful full-sized wands on the market.

Nice and easy to hold during sex and will add that much-needed clitoral stimulation, but it’s not going to blow your socks off.

Bette Review: Finger Vibrator For Beginners

What Is Bette?

The Bette Finger Vibrator (RRP £32) is a small finger vibrator designed for beginners and sensitive users. It uses a finger-loop design which allows you to hold and position it more naturally during use.

Who Is Bette Best For?

Bette feels designed specifically for people who are new to vibrators, and either dislike very strong stimulation or get overstimulated easily. It’s the ideal toy for someone who prefers softer, slower vibrations and wants something less intimidating and simple to use.

Finger vibrators aren’t a new concept, but Bette’s design feels particularly well thought-out. Rather than feeling like a device, it feels closer to vibration-enhanced touch.

Is Bette Too Gentle?

Potentially for some people, yes. If you prefer strong clitoral stimulation and are used to clitoral suction toys for instance, Bette may feel underpowered. But that softer approach is also exactly what makes it appealing for sensitive users. Not everybody wants their clitoris treated like it owes somebody money.

Charging Cables Across The Collection

My biggest – only, really – gripe with the entire Knude Society range is something far less glamorous than vibration or build quality: it’s the blinking charging cables. Wanda uses a pin charger, while the other toys use magnetic chargers that all appear determined to be slightly different from one another for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

This means you can’t simply keep one charger in your bedside drawer and use it across the entire collection, which feels like a strange oversight for a brand that otherwise feels very cohesive and thoughtfully designed. It could be that they’re made in different factories, but I feel like it’s still something that a truly premium brand would get right.

I now own a tiny collection of near-identical sex toy chargers that refuse to cooperate with the wrong product. It’s not a HUGE thing, but changing this would be one of the little things that makes life easier for those who want to invest in more than one toy.

Are Knude Society Toys Worth Buying? (Review)

Overall, yes, particularly if you are someone who:

• prefers gentler stimulation
• wants beginner-friendly toys
• dislikes aggressive designs
• values aesthetics and discretion
• wants softer, quieter vibrators
• is, or your partner is, somewhat intimidated by traditional sex toys.

Knude Society clearly have a very specific design philosophy and, unlike a lot wellness brands built around female empowerment, the toys themselves mostly back it up.

These aren’t the strongest vibrators on the market, nor are they pretending to be. Instead, the range focuses on comfort, flexibility and versatility, quieter motors, softer stimulation, and making sex toys feel less intimidating for people who normally avoid them altogether.

And in an industry still overflowing with terrifying alien-looking rabbits, baffling gimmicks and vibrators that look like rejected Dyson prototypes, that’s surprisingly refreshing.
