MysteryVibe is a British-American firm that focuses on sexual health devices.[1] [2] In 2023, their laboratory was featured in Popular Science.[3] According to Femtech Insider, they are the "first pleasure-focused brand to offer FSA & HSA eligible vibrators".[4] They beat Apple Watch at the 2018 Design Week Awards.[5]

History

MysteryVibe was founded by a group of researchers, engineers and designers from Nokia, Philips, IBM and Deloitte.[6] Inspired by trends in smartphones like Nokia Morph, the founders came up with the idea of creating 'platform' vibrators that would adapt to any body shape and vibrate to any pattern.[7] They continued to research for a number of years before formally starting the company in May 2014.

It released its iOS app on the Apple App Store in December 2015 and their Android app on Google Play in September 2016. Its product, Crescendo, is claimed to be the world's first vibrator that can be bent to adapt to any body shape.[8] [9] Its second product was Tenuto, a wearable vibrator for men.[10] [11] Subsequent products include Poco,[12] Legato,[13] Tenuto Mini[14] and Molto.[15]

Medical research

MysteryVibe's medical division is MV.Health. Their medical research is led by Professor Prokar Dasgupta, OBE FRCS.[16] [17] They have 6 FDA registered devices[18] and 3 publications in the Journal of Sexual Medicine[19] [20] [21] in their 3 main focus areas:

MV.Health is a member of Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA)[26] and Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed).[27]

Awards

MysteryVibe have won 40 international awards[28] including Red Dot,[29] IDA Design,[30] The Drum,[31] Clio,[32] iF World Design,[33] Excellence in Design[34] and the Young Guns award.[35] They won the Design Week Awards over Apple Watch in the 2018 finals.[36] In 2023, they were invited to 10 Downing Street for the Great British Entrepreneur Awards Reception[37] and to the United Kingdom Parliament House of Commons for The Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards Reception.[38]
