The motors are layered one on top of the other allow it to deliver a “layered orgasm” as the vibrations are sent through the body for precise and rhythmic pleasure. The beauty of the MysteryVibe Crescendo is that it is bendable, this means you can change the structure and curve according to your personal desires at the time of play. It is also compatable with a mobile application which is regularly updated with new features, at the moment you can create your very own vibration modes!
Tell me about yourself?
I am an engineer by training. I love to figure out how to make things better. I am also very passionate about pleasure, as I believe that pleasure is a fundamental thing that directly impacts our happiness, relationships and life. That’s why I decided to bring technology to make pleasure more accessible to all of us.
What are your favourite quotes?
It’s not what you know, or who you know. It’s knowing who knows what.
This is my favourite quote because it completely changed the way I build products and companies.
Who is your role model?
Stephen Hawking. He is the ultimate example of what can be achieved when you take life head on, challenge every norm, and inspire and enlighten multiple generations of people across the world.
What are your favourite accomplishments?
While I am always excited with our small wins every month, one that happened recently really stood out for me; This article from Womens Health Magazine titled “This Is The One Vibrator That Brought Back My Sex Drive While I Was Taking Antidepressants”. When we created MysteryVibe we didn’t just want to make a great vibrator, we wanted to have a real impact on people’s happiness and lives. Reading about this lady’s story made our journey, these past 3 years, really worth every bit of it.
What is the story behind the inspiration, creation and development of your company and product range?
How often have we entered our bedroom and been too tired to do anything fun, with our partners or on our own. That is the pain point we set out to solve – through real research and human-centric design. We were inspired by the rapid growth in technology and one in particular inspired us to build our flagship product, Crescendo. It was the concept phone of Nokia Morph – a tablet that could be folded into a phone or a watch. User-centric design at its best. Thus, MysteryVibe and Crescendo were born.
Where is your company located?
London, UK. I always feel blessed to have discovered this incredible city which is defined by its residents – an amalgation of every single nationality in the world. The diversity of talent in such a small concentrated area is unparalleled. Adding to that, the incredible support network, both from the private and public sectors, make London the best city to build a business.
How does your company define and measure success?
With two very simple metrics – how happy have we made our customers through our products; and; how many customers have we been able to reach.
What do you love most about your brand compared to other companies?
Having worked with other great brands in our space of sex-tech, I must say we are all doing our bit to make sex and pleasure better for everyone. I love the other brands and always support their products, just like they do for ours. For this, I will highlight what we do differently rather than better than others. What I love most about building our brand is we also put luxury experiences first – above technology and above cost considerations. We do it across the board: product, packaging, logistics, customer service … at every customer touch-point.
Tell me about your product range?
Currently we only have one product, our flagship product – Crescendo. It comes in 2 colours: Purple and Blue.

What are the most memorable quotes that you have heard about your product range?
- “This Is The One Vibrator That Brought Back My Sex Drive While I Was Taking Antidepressants. Using the Crescendo actually reminded me what it was like to feel like a woman again. It was like I came back to life as soon as I turned it on. The best part of it is that it can bend into so many different shapes. For some reason, I’ve always enjoyed sex with men whose penises have a little curve to them. With the Crescendo, I can create as many kinds of curves and imagine as many kinds of men as I want.” – Women’s Health Magazine
- “The new MysteryVibe Crescendo has all of the benefits of a rabbit-style vibrator— like the options of internal and external action, plus great G-spot stimulation, but with a whole lot more flexibility…Like – it bends.” – Bustle
- “The best sex toy for couples” – Independent
Is there anything you would like to add?
Our vision is to make bedrooms more fun. Imagine getting the right music / sounds and erotic videos delivered straight to your bedroom.
