Review: Unbound Flick

Jewelry that doubles as a vibrator is nothing new. If we go way back—I’m talking ancient Rome—there’s a good chance someone, somewhere along the line, used a piece of jewelry to rub one out just for the heck of it. After all, the Romans were known to be quite creative when it came to sexual pleasure.

But it wasn’t until the 2014 launch of the Crave Vesper, a necklace that contained a mini vibrator to stimulate all your favorite erogenous zones, that the union of jewelry as vibrators or vibrators as jewelry became a legitimate product. A product, I might add, that everyone wanted in their collection of jewels and vibes.

Now, 10 years after Crave Vesper hit the market, we have Unbound’s take on the concept. This time, it’s a stylish, eye-catching statement ring called Flick. Flick’s launch date is no accident. As the world celebrates the 100th anniversary of the cocktail ring, Unbound wanted to come up with a piece of jewelry that not only pays homage to the iconic cocktail ring but also to the cultural revolution of the 1920s. It was a complicated time for women as they tried to navigate how to harness self-expression authentically against a backdrop that had yet to allow all women to vote. Flick embodies that spirit of boldness and celebration, inviting modern-day adventurers to explore their sensuality in style.

As Intense as It Is Discreet

Unbound is not a brand that’s new to me, which means I already knew I wasn’t simply getting a vibrator in a box with generic-looking instructions. But even for Unbound, the Flick’s packaging went above my expectations: clean lines, a commitment to only two colors—turquoise and pink—to enhance the overall aesthetic, nail art stickers, and a postcard signed by all the people who made Flick happen. It didn’t just look welcoming, it felt right.

Although I knew I needed to wait for a full charge to properly indulge in Flick as a vibrator, as a piece of jewelry there was nothing to wait for. I slipped on the ring and it fit perfectly. This isn’t because Flick is a one-size-fits-all ring but because it has four band sizes that can easily be changed with the included screwdriver.
