The Freestyle W by OhMyBod is a high quality silicone rabbit vibrator featuring lots of ways to control its many functionalities. If you are looking for a rabbit vibration with lots of options for how to control it and many different functions but you don’t need a lot of power, the Freestyle W is probably perfect for you. If, like me, you want power with your options and functions, this is probably not your best choice.

Storage: The Freestyle W comes in a great box with designated areas for all of the items that it comes with, so I recommend, if you have the space for it, to just store it in the box it came in. If you don’t have the space for the box, it comes with a storage pouch for the vibrator itself, but you are going to have to figure out what to do with the extra cables and outlet adapters. A ziplock perhaps?
Cleaning: Please note that the Freestyle W is not waterproof so you should NOT submerge this toy in any way. Here are some suggestions for cleaning this toy:
- Use silicone safe toy cleaners/wipes
- Hand wash with a mild disinfecting soap (use a cloth)
- 10% bleach solution (use a cloth)
Material / Texture
The insertable portion, as well as the clitoral attachment of the Freestyle W are made out of wonderful silicone, while the control pad and lower portion of the vibrator are made of plastic.
The only texture you will find on the Freestyle W are two bumps located on the shaft of the vibrator. The first bump is located just below the clitoral attachment on the shaft of the vibrator, and the second bump is closer to the top, but not on the tip, of the shaft. The second bump, I assume, is supposed to target the g-spot but it does not in fact target mine. Aside from these two bumps on the shaft there is no other texture on the vibrator. There is, however, a seam that runs the length of the vibrator so if you are extremely sensitive to texture and/or are bothered by seams on vibrators, you may notice this. I do not as I am beginning to thing that my vagina is almost non-feeling or just really not sensitive.
Design / Shape & Size
As far as shape goes, the Freestyle W is nothing very special. It is shaped like every other rabbit vibrator that you have seen with a insertable shaft and a clitoral attachment. Unlike some rabbit vibrators, however, this one does not have an animal shaped clitoral attachment. It also features a slight curve overall which you only usually see in other luxury vibes/rabbits.
Let’s get down to the skinny on the Freestyle W measurements. The Freestyle W has a total length of 8 1/4″ with 5″ of that being insertable. It has a circumference of 4 3/4″ and a diameter of 1 1/2″ and weighs in at 7.5 oz.
Packaging
When I received my Freestyle W, in a nice sized box measuring about 12 1/2″ x 7″ x 2 1/2″, wrapped in clear plastic. Once the plastic was removed as well as the lid the first thing I saw was the user guide which is almost as big as the box itself, at least length and width wise. When you lift the user guide out of the box you will find a lovely little container that displays all of the included items wonderfully.
As you can see from the image above, the Freestyle W comes with quite a bit of extra stuff.
- Satin pouch – This toy comes with a lovely satin pouch that fits the vibrator itself. I am a little disappointed that it did not come with another little pouch for storing all of the other items that come with it.
- Vibrator – It, of course, comes with the vibrator itself, duh.
- Transmitter – This is for use when using the app or your phone/mp3 player to control the vibrator. It has a short AUX cable attached to one end that you plug into the headphone jack of your phone or other compatible device. It also, on the other end, has an AUX outlet that you can use to plug your headphones into. On the top side there is a dial control for use when you are connected to your phone or mp3 player.
- Batteries – Unlike some toys, this one actually comes with the batteries it needs to power things. The package includes 2 AAA batters for use in the transmitter.
- AUX cord – Instead of using headphones to listen to your music while you play, you want to plug it into your stereo or computer speakers? OhMyBod has included an AUX cord for just this purpose.
- Charging cable – The Freestyle W is rechargeable (yay!) so they have included the cord to charge it up!
- Charging cable adapters – Do you live in a country that doesn’t use the same outlet plugs as we use here in the US? Do not worry! app included three different outlet adapters so anyone around the world can enjoy this toy.
- User guide – This will help you figure out how to use the vibe. It will not, however, explain how to use the app. The user features eight translations of the instructions.
Controls
The controls of the Freestyle W are relatively simple, but keep in mind that which controls you use depend on what mode you are using the toy in. The off button will be used regardless of which mode you are in. While using manual mode all buttons accept for the music note button will be used. While in music or app mode you will only use the off and music note buttons to turn the vibe off or on respectively. I will go into more details about the controls in the next section of the review.
How It Works
The Freestyle W allows you to control how you use it with three different options: manual program mode, music mode via integration with your phone/mp3 player, and app mode via an iPhone/iPad/iPod app.
Manual Program Mode
The first of the three different modes the the Freestyle W provides is a “basic” mode, which is using the vibrator with no other external controls. It functions and is controlled like your run of the mill rabbit vibrator allowing you to control the speed and vibration patterns via the control pad at the bottom of the toy.
I have a couple of notes for this mode. Firstly, when you turn off the vibrator in this mode the vibrator does not remember which pattern you stopped on, so when you turn it back on you will have to loop through the patterns and find whatever you list stopped on for yourself. Secondly, once you get to the last pattern using the up arrow, it does not loop back to the first pattern. Instead you must switch to using the down arrow to go back through the list until you reach the first pattern.
Making it work in this mode:
- Press the manual program mode button
- Use the up and down buttons to cycle through the 7 preprogrammed patterns.
Vibration patterns in this mode:
- Low – a low steady vibration
- Medium – a medium steady vibration
- High – a high steady vibration
- Low to high – starts from the lowest vibration pattern and rises relatively quickly up to the highest vibration then there is a brief pause and the cycle starts over.
- Pulse – steady short pulses on what feels like the medium level vibration
- Fast pulse – steady, more quick, short pulses on what feels like the medium level vibration
- Short short long – a pulsing pattern of two short pulses and then a slightly longer pulse on what feels like the medium level vibration
Music Mode
Have you ever wanted to use a vibrator that will vibrate to the beat of your favorite songs? Even if you have never thought about it, you are now, and I bet you are saying to yourself, “yeah, that would be pretty cool. I wonder how [INSERT SONG TITLE HERE] would make my vagina feel?” That’s right, the Freestyle W allows you to do just that! In this mode, you choose the song using your phone or other MP3 device and the Freestyle W will vibrate accordingly.
Just as a note, I do not have a mp3 player myself. I just use my phone (Motorola Droid Razr HD which is an Android phone) and this works just fine.
Making it work in this mode:
- Push the music mode button (the little music note)
- Connect the transmitter to your phone or mp3 player
- Connect your headphones or AUX cable to the transmitter
- Use the dial on the transmitter to the volume at which you wish to listen to the music
Vibration patterns in this mode: The vibration patterns for this mode will vary depending on the song you listen to. The vibration is based on the rhythm and intensity of the song.
App Mode
In “App Mode” you are given the freedom to design your own vibration patterns or choose from five preprogrammed patterns. If you have created a pattern that you just adore, the app also allows you to store it as a favorite for later use.
I would like to make a note about the app that you download for this mode. As far as I have been able to find, there are no instructions or any sort of information about which actions control which motor or how to control the intensity. Honestly, the app would be a million times more fun to use if there were some instructions on how to make it work properly.

Conclusion
I really wanted to love the Freestyle W, I really did. It had everything that usually makes me happy: a rabbit vibrator, premium silicone, integrate technology that makes it unlike any vibrator I have ever used. This all makes me happy, it really does, but the Freestyle W still falls flat. I think the thing that disappoints me the most about this toy is it’s lack of power. I was really hoping that for the price tag of this vibrator, not only would it wow me with it’s amazing use of technology, but that it would also be nice and powerful. Unfortunately, it is not all that powerful. It almost feels like in the development of this toy everyone was so focused on how to integrate it with mp3 players and Apple tech that no one really payed much attention to how much power they were going to put into the Freestyle W. Almost like they sacrificed power for some unnecessary functionality. If you are someone who does not require a massive amount of power in order to enjoy a vibrator, and you love the idea of having lots of options and functionalities, the Freestyle W is probably right up your alley.
I think that the functionality of this vibe is great, but to me it is more of a novelty. I am not really someone who likes to use any of the patterns found on a normal vibe. My lady parts need the same constant stimulation to remain happy. Though I love the idea of having a vibrator pulse to the beat of my favorite music, the changing patterns ended up being either annoying or distracting. In the same vein, the app control idea is really cool, but it ended up being more trouble than it was worth. If I had sat down and tried to make some patterns up before I used it, maybe things would have been better, but I wouldn’t have known how they felt until I actually used them. When I have a vibrator in my vagina, I want it to work on its own with out having to make a lot of adjustments or choices. The app control forces me to do both of these things, so that in the end I am just annoyed by the whole thing.
This toy reminds me of a hammer that has a squeaking rubber head. The squeaking is fun for a little bit but in the end it doesn’t actually hammer a nail very well. The different ways to control the Freestyle W is fun, but it really didn’t get me off.
Thanks so much to OhMyBod for providing me with the Freestyle W for review!
That shape looks actively painful to me, like the clit stem would jab right into me. So even if it had power, that would be a dealkiller for me.

I like the honesty of this review, if I hadn’t known how much it lacks in power, I would have run out and spent my xmas pennies on this. But because of your honesty, I shall keep looking for that perfect toy x

That is so very similar to my bedroom candy, Thanks for the Pictures, they are great!
I love my Freestyle, but what I really dislike about it (and I’m assuming the same is true of the W? What does that even stand for?) is that in order to increase the power of the vibrations when you’re connected to music you have to turn up the volume on your music. I’ve turned the transmitter sensitivity up all the way but still had to play my music about 10 times louder than I really wanted to in order to get the kind of power I wanted. So it was either go deaf, have everyone hear my blaring music, or use the preset patterns, which defeated the purpose of the toy. I’ve settled for going deaf, but it’s not a great solution.

Would you prefer any of the other OhMyBod products?
I am really not sure. I think if I were to try any of the other OhMiBod products it would have to be something that I could use on my clit mostly, and I probably would never use the app…
