Vibease

Vibease got its start in 2012 making wearable vibrators that you could control through a mobile app—pretty forward-thinking for the time. Their signature product is a panty vibrator with Bluetooth connectivity that lets partners control each other’s pleasure remotely, which made them an early player in the long-distance intimacy space. What set them apart early on was integrating erotica audiobooks directly into the app, so the vibrations could sync with the story you’re listening to. They also let users create custom vibration patterns or share control with a partner anywhere in the world. The company has evolved beyond just the hardware—its app includes text and picture messaging for couples, plus some interesting ambient sound modes like rain or deep breathing exercises for solo relaxation. We’ve covered their lipstick vibrator that responds to voice commands, which shows they’ve been experimenting with different form factors and control methods. Based in Singapore, Vibease raised about $20,000 in early funding and launched on Google Play in 2012 before expanding to iOS. Like many connected toy companies, they dealt with some security concerns back in 2017 but addressed them promptly.
