MysteryVibe is a British-American firm that focuses on sexual health products.[1][2][3][4] In 2023, their laboratory was featured in Popular Science[5] and recognized by The Guardian as the "only facility in vibrator research and development in the UK".[6] It beat Apple Watch at the 2018 Design Week Awards.[7]

History

MysteryVibe was founded by a group of researchers, engineers and designers from Nokia, Philips, IBM and Deloitte.[8] 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.[9] 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.[citation needed] Its product, Crescendo, is claimed to be the world's first vibrator that can be bent to adapt to any body shape.[10][11] Its second product was Tenuto, a wearable vibrator for men.[12][13]
