Both devices are award-winning, FDA-registered, and designed with doctors to support your sexual wellness and pleasure. If you’re not sure which one is the better fit, this guide will help you decide. Below, we’ll break down what makes each device special, how they approach arousal and sexual wellness differently, and how to choose the one that fits your needs right now.

Legato and Crescendo 2 overview  

Before we get into how they’re different, here’s a quick overview of each vibrator. 

Legato is an external vulva vibrator, also called a vibrating vulva ring, designed to improve arousal and lubrication naturally, without requiring penetration. However, with a generous gap in the middle you can also use it during sex. It offers gentle, dispersed stimulation across the entire vulva erogenous area. It’s a great option for women who want an external option to get aroused whether before or during intercourse. Its oval shape sits over the vulva and can be adjusted to fit your unique vulva shape while gentle vibrations stimulate the clitoris, labia, and surrounding area.  

Crescendo 2 is a fully bendable vibrator with end-to-end motors that stimulate multiple erogenous zones at once, offering blended stimulation. It’s designed for internal and/or external stimulation, giving you the ability to reach the G-spot, A-spot, C-spot, clitoris, perineum, and more together or separately. Shaped like a wand, Crescendo 2 bends to match your anatomy and lets you explore your body from angles most vibrators can’t reach. 

While they deliver stimulation in different ways, both are built around the same goal: helping you feel more aroused, more in tune with your body, and more excited about intimacy - on your own or with a partner.

Here’s a quick overview of what they have in common:

• Ultra-flexible 
• Supports arousal and natural lubrication 
• Great for solo or partner use 
• Can be controlled via Smart app and/or remote  
• FDA-registered  
• Doctor-recommended 
• Made with body-safe premium silicone 
• 16 intensity levels 
• 2-year warranty 
• FSA/HSA eligible  
• 100% showerproof 

Different approaches, same goal: better arousal, better connection, and a vibrator that actually works with your body.  

What are the differences between Legato and Crescendo 2? 

Usage

Legato is a first-of-its-kind vulva vibrating ring for women designed to increase arousal and lubrication through external stimulation. Its oval shape hugs the vulva to deliver full-area vibrations that build arousal gradually and gently. It’s a great option for women who want to get aroused without penetration, or who find clitoral-only focused vibrators too overwhelming. For those navigating lack of lubrication or low libido due to hormonal changes like menopause, postpartum, or even certain medications, Legato offers a gentle way to reconnect with desire, and with a partner, without the pressure to penetrate. 

As the first vulva vibrating ring, Legato offers novel ways to get aroused with stimulation that’s unlike anything you’ve felt before. Vibrations across this large area help promote healthy blood flow across the entire erogenous area versus one pinpointed section, which means immersive arousal and new sensations in familiar places. An extra perk – Legato is 100% showerproof, so you can use it during your most intimate moments to enhance your intimacy.  

Additionally, the sky is the limit when it comes to sexual wellness, and Legato doubles as a vibrating penis and ball ring for men, too. With the generous gap in the middle, it’s large enough to fit most penis and testicles inside, making it like a wearable vibrating constriction ring for men who can also benefit from its all-encompassing vibrations.  

Crescendo 2 is the first fully bendable vibrator designed to increase arousal, lubrication, and pelvic wellness through targeted internal and external stimulation.  

With its fully bendable design and 6 strategically placed motors, all the ways it can used to enhance pleasure and wellness will truly boggle your mind.  

Crescendo 2 is a favorite for women who want to stimulate multiple erogenous zones to experience blended orgasms. Consider it your multi-purpose multi-tool for pleasure. One of the best parts of Crescendo 2’s bendability (and the award-winning element) is your pleasure is never ‘fixed’, it can be shaped into different sex toys to arouse you in infinite ways. For example, fancy a dual G-spot and clitoral vibrator – you got it. What about an all-encompassing internal vibrator that hits the G-spot, A-spot, and C-spot? You can have this, too! Or – get cheeky and explore anal stimulation with it’s comfortable slim and smooth body. It’s especially helpful for women looking to explore their bodies, introduce diversity into their sex life or self-pleasure, and find new erogenous zones. Bendable and fully customizable, it’s incredibly versatile, whether using it during sex, experimenting with new angles, or trying to experience new sensations. Did we mention it’s 100% showerproof? Your personal moments just became a lot more exciting.  

This bendable vibrator is also a favorite of doctors for its ability to enhance pelvic wellness and help women navigate postpartum recovery, lack of lubrication and low libido, and perineal massage during pregnancy. Again, here is where bendability makes Crescendo 2 an outstanding wellness tool. You can bend it into the configuration you need to reach and massage your internal muscles. Coupled with different levels of stimulation and patterns, you can pinpoint the areas you want in the way the feels best for you, supporting healthy blood flow and helping with internal myofascial massage. This same concept can be applied with perineal massage during pregnancy and postpartum recovery.  

Design  

Legato is shaped like an oval ring designed to rest comfortably over the vulva.  

Quick anatomy refresher: the vulva is not the same as the vagina. The vulva refers to the external genital area, including the labia and clitoris, while the vagina is only the internal area.  

Since every vulva is shaped differently, the design adjusts easily to fit a range of anatomies. The circular ring houses the motors, which disperse vibrations across the entire vulva. You can position it over the clitoris, labia, and surrounding area for external stimulation during foreplay, solo play, or intercourse.  

It has a large center opening, so a partner’s penis or another sex toy can fit through during use, making it easy to use during intercourse. It cannot be inserted into the vagina; it’s a vibrator that supports external stimulation for arousal without penetration, though penetration is possible through the center.  

Crescendo 2 is a slim (two-finger-width), wand-shaped vibrator with a fully bendable body. Note: fully bendable, not just flexible. The vibrator bends and holds its shape, so you can have multiple configurations such as C or L shape to work with your anatomy, essentially resulting in multiple sex toys in one. It has 6 motors that go throughout the whole shape from end to end, leaving no dead zones, including one positioned for targeted clitoral stimulation. It can be used internally, externally, or both at once, depending on how you position and bend it. It’s long enough that it can stimulate the clitoris, the G-spot, and other erogenous zones at the same time.  

In summary:

• Legato = oval-shaped, external-only, flexible  
• Crescendo 2 = wand-shaped, internal and/or external use, fully bendable

Type of stimulation

Legato offers diffused, external stimulation across the entire vulva. Instead of pinpointed intensity, the sensation spreads gently and evenly, ideal for building arousal gradually and supporting blood flow without overwhelming any one spot. This is especially helpful for those who prefer external stimulation or find direct clitoral vibration too intense.  

Crescendo 2 offers targeted, blended stimulation internally and/or externally. With Crescendo 2, you can pinpoint stimulation exactly where you need it. It’s designed to stimulate multiple erogenous zones at the same time, creating more focused, intense sensations, which can help build deeper arousal and blended orgasms.

In summary:

• Legato = diffused, external stimulation across the entire vulva, labia, and clitoris
• Crescendo 2 = targeted + blended stimulation internally and/or externally, across multiple erogenous zones

Motors 

Legato has 4 motors positioned at each corner of its oval shape, creating edge-to-edge vibration across the whole vulva. This design allows vibration to spread gently and evenly from one side to the other, delivering external stimulation across a large erogenous area. Using the MysteryVibe app, you can control each motor individually - customizing the intensity and vibration pattern of each based on what feels best for your body. 

Crescendo 2 has 6 motors spaced from end to end along the body, including 1 for dedicated clitoral stimulation. With zero dead zones, you’ll feel dispersed and powerful vibes along every inch, regardless of the body part. The rest are designed to target other erogenous zones like the G-spot, perineum, A-spot, and more. Each motor can be individually customized using the MysteryVibe app, allowing for full control over how intense and where the vibration travels.

In summary:

• Legato = 4 motors on the corners for edge-to-edge external stimulation
• Crescendo 2 = 6 motors for multi-zone internal and/or external use

Size

Size matters, especially when it comes to how a vibrator fits your body and how you plan to use it.

Legato has an oval shape measuring 4.7 x 3.1 x 1.2 inches (12 x 7.9 x 3 cm), with a large center opening that adjusts. The inner opening can expand up to 3.2 inches wide (8 cm) and compress to 2 inches (5 cm). That built-in flexibility allows it to fit across different vulva shapes and makes it easy to use during intercourse. 

Crescendo 2 has a long, slim shape measuring 8.7 x 1.7 x 1.8 inches (22 x 4.2 x 4.5 cm). It’s roughly the width of two fingers and designed to stimulate multiple erogenous zones at once, whether internal, external, or both.
