Today we’re looking at two toys from Snail Vibe: the Curve and the Gizi.
Snail Vibe is a brand with a very specific style, and these toys sit in that space where you’ve probably seen them mentioned, maybe laughed a little at the shape, and then wondered what they’re actually like to use. I picked both up at a convention and tested them so I could get a clearer picture beyond specs and product blurbs.
In this article, I’ll go through the basics — how they’re built, the specs that matter, how they’re meant to be used, and what using them is actually like over time. I’ll also look at how the Curve and the Gizi differ in practice, where each one makes sense, and where they don’t.

What Are Snail Vibrators?
Snail Vibe is a small sex toy brand that focuses on making toys that can do more than one thing, without turning them into something complicated or awkward to use. Across the whole line, the idea isn’t just vibration on its own, but how a toy behaves once you’re actually using it — how it moves, how it stays in contact, and how it feels over time.
Instead of making a separate toy for every type of stimulation, Snail Vibe builds theirs to cover multiple uses in one device. Some models are larger and more full-size, others are smaller and easier to handle, but they all follow the same general approach: strong motors, flexible use, and shapes that are meant to work while things are moving, not only when everything is perfectly lined up.
That’s the common thread across the Snail Vibe lineup, no matter which model you’re looking at.
“Around 75% of vulva owners need external clitoral stimulation to reach an orgasm… With this in mind, we developed Snail Vibe, a toy offering constant stimulation of the clit, while allowing internal sliding movement mimicking penetration, thanks to 2 powerful motors that deliver deep and intense vibrations. A toy for everyone who wants to enjoy dual stimulation, without losing touch with the clitoris!”

SVibe Curve and Gigi Overview
The Snail Vibe Curve and the Snail Vibe Gizi come from the same product line, but they’re built with different priorities in mind. Both combine internal and external stimulation in one toy, and both are made from body-safe silicone, rechargeable, and waterproof. That’s where the similarities mostly end.
The Curve sits closer to the dildo end of the spectrum. It’s larger, has more length to work with, and is clearly designed with thrusting in mind. There’s more room to move, more depth, and a more substantial internal feel, which makes it better suited to people who want penetration to play a bigger role.
The Gizi, on the other hand, is much more focused. It’s shorter and more compact – less space for thrusting and more emphasis on targeted internal stimulation. This one is built to zero in on the G-spot.
Specs and Basic Info
Design and Build
Cruve’s length is firm and not flexible – holding whatever mechanical guts connect the looped charger end to the penetrating and the external clit end. The tip is also firm yet smooth. I’m guessing some kind of ABS plastic inside that holds the first motor. The curled, extranal end has some texture for extra stimulation, and the “give” as it unfurls has a fair bit of resistance – at least compared to Gigi.
Gigi’s insertable tip feels (in my hands) more squishy/soft compared to Curve, and the unfuling action has more give – meaning it won’t press against your clit as hard – whether this is a good or bad thing is entirely personal. It does have the same texture on the clit end as Curve, but it’s also softer with a tiny bit more rib flexibility.
- The silicone is smooth on both with very little drag
- The buttons use the industry standard “hard press” for on/off
- Gigi has two buttons – one for the tip and one for the clit curve (no patterns)
- Curve has 4 buttons – one to control the tip and one for the clit curve
- Curve, however, has patterns so the +/- will cycle through them
Note: The term “liquid” silicone just means its soft. There’s no special formual.
Noise Levels
This is the part where you don’t take my numbers as gospel. Even if I have a dB level tool, it doens’t mean that my numbers are going to match the product page.
Why?
First, I tend to measure really close to the toy. In reality, the sound levels are coming from at least a few feet away and probably muffled if part of it is inserted. And since these aren’t public play toys (even if Gigi looks wearable), super-discreet noise isn’t going to be at the top of anyone’s list. Unless you live somewhere with paper-thin walls.
That being said, on the highest levels with both motors going full (and the added rumble of them sitting on my bed), I got dBs in the high 60s to low 70s. Average 69-ish (which just feel apporpriate 😉) but in reality they’ll be lower. Just using my ears, the toys were impressively quiet.
Other people have reviewed this toy and put the levels at around 40 -50. The site directly says, “Reassuringly quiet, less than 40db”. For reference, a regular conversation sits around 60 dB. All in all, I agree with their numbers.

Testing The Snails
I tested Gizi first, and what I noticed immediately in my hands translated almost exactly once I used it internally. The toy is softer overall. The curled arm has less resistance, and that shows up in use. The pressure isn’t sharp or pinpoint, but it isn’t vague either. There’s just enough curve in the right places to make contact without feeling pushy.
The vibration profile sits in a middle space.
Not buzzy. Not fully rumbly. If I had to rate it on a scale from 1 to 5 — with 1 being buzzy and 5 being deeply rumbly — I’d put Gizi around a 3.5, closer to a 4 in actual sensation.
Gizi isn’t meant for thrusting, and that’s fine. It’s also not meant to be wearable, which is also fine. You can get some movement out of it with enough clitoral contact, and that movement can still feel good, but it’s clearly designed for slower, more contained use.
Gizi feels lighter, softer, and less forceful overall. That’s either a positive or a negative, depending on what you’re looking for. All in all, it was a pleasent g-spot toy with nice, firm clit stim.
Testing Curve next..
Surprising result: I didn’t expect to prefer it.
I’m usually not drawn to rabbit-style or thrusting toys. I tend to reach for clitoral toys first. But Curve surprised me, mostly because it had more resistance and pressure overall, which made the vibrations feel more present in my body.
The internal curve is gentle. Nothing aggressive. It doesn’t jab or force a certain movement, but there’s enough structure there that when you do move, the toy responds well. Compared to Gizi, the Curve felt more grounded. The vibrations came through stronger, especially internally, and the clitoral pressure felt more pronounced.
The external bulb is textured, but that ribbing didn’t really translate into a dramatically different sensation during use. In practice, it felt smooth and broad. The difference between Curve and Gizi here would only really matter if someone has extremely sensitive anatomy. Otherwise, the texture is more of a design that adds a bit of extra simulation and detail than a deciding factor.
About the buttons and handle…
One thing I did appreciate was the light underneath the buttons. That sounds small, but it mattered. Being able to see the controls in low light made adjusting settings much easier without breaking focus or fumbling around. I’m less convinced about the button layout itself. Plus on the left, minus on the right isn’t how my brain expects controls to work. That might just be me — and the buttons are close together anyway — so it’s not a deal breaker. Just something I noticed.
The looped handle felt a bit awkward for my own use. I didn’t find it especially helpful or especially annoying. That said, I can see it being genuinely useful if someone is using the toy on a partner rather than for solo play.
Overall, Curve ended up working better for me than I expected. The extra resistance and pressure made the vibrations feel fuller, and that mattered more to me than I thought it would.
Things that applied to both
Charging was simple on both toys. The magnetic chargers work fine, but because the contact points are slightly curved and bulbous, there’s less surface area making contact. That just means you need to make sure everything is aligned properly before walking away. Since you’re charging these stationary anyway, it’s not really an issue.
Cleaning was easy overall. Both are straightforward to wash. The one area you need to pay attention to is the lower V-shaped section of the toys. That spot needs a bit of extra care to make sure it’s fully clean.
Noise-wise, internal use was about what I expected. I didn’t stick a decibel meter anywhere near my body, but based on how they sounded in use, both sat roughly in the 40–50 dB range internally. Louder externally, quieter once inserted.
And the cases deserve real credit. They’re solid, well-made, and not an afterthought. A lot of brands either skip cases entirely or include flimsy bags. These feel genuinely protective and travel-friendly. Gizi is easier to pack because it’s smaller, but that doesn’t discount the Curve at all.
Both travel well. Gizi just disappears into a bag more easily.

Final Thoughts
I give both of these toys a solid 9/10 – even if Gigi didn’t quite get me there, that’s not a fault in the design. Sex toys aren’t a one-size-fits-all with anatomy. The design, material, and motors are all great. So, they both deserve a high five. That being said, there was enough of a difference I can confidently recommend:
- If you want more gentle contact and flexibility, go for Gigi
- If you want firmer, stronger experiences, go for Curve
But if neither of these looks like they’ll float your boat, check out the main brand page. There are many other options, including toys for penis owners and some shared designs.
