The Lovense Exomoon has a good power range with gentle-to-moderate strength but lacks intense upper levels. 

When controlling the Exomoon in the Lovense app, the lowest power starts at just 1 out of 10 vibration strength. This gentle starting level is excellent for those who need a soft warmup. And you can work extremely gradually through 20 intensity levels to reach its max strength of 5.4 out of 10, so there are no giant, jarring leaps. Increments are very comfortable.

The top strength of 5.4 out of 10 is less intense than some, including Lovense’s other bullet vibrator, the Lovense Ambi (which reaches 8 out of 10). However, I still orgasm reliably with this moderate level of strength, and it will be enough for many people.

Those who prioritize rumbliness over high intensity will enjoy the Exomoon. If you prefer power over rumbliness, consider the Lovense Ambi.

When using the Exomoon’s button instead of the app, you’ll have access to 3 intensity levels. The first begins at about 25% power, the second at around 60%, and the third is 100% power. So the on-toy controls still provide a good power range when you don’t want to use the Lovense app.

The Fun Factory Laya III has a fantastic, wide power range, beginning softly and finishing intensely.

The first of 7 settings is a 1 out of 10 vibration strength, so those worried about overstimulation have gentle levels to enjoy. The first couple of settings feel especially “tappy,” which is a stimulating warmup without feeling overwhelming at all.

Power lovers will also be happy with the substantial top strength of 7.75. While there are a few more powerful bullet and mini vibrators, like the BMS Swan Maximum, the Laya has plenty of strength for me and most people. I orgasm on any preset power level between 4 and 7 – I usually don’t need to use the top strength.

Steps between settings are also comfortably gradual. You can also press and hold the “+” and “-” buttons to make micro-adjustments to the strength. This means it’s easy to find your ideal intensity and keep the journey comfortable.

Most people prefer rumbly vibrators, so we rate them higher than buzzy ones. However, preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy! 

The Lovense Exomoon has great rumbliness. It’s lower-frequency (more rumbly) than most bullet vibrators, including the Lovense Ambi. In fact, every power level lands in the rumbly range. The gentler settings are extremely rumbly, but even its highest power levels remain moderately rumbly. 

I have not found a more rumbly app-controlled bullet vibrator than the Lovense Exomoon. It’s great for those who value rumbliness and don’t need exceptional intensity. If you want more power and don’t need app control, consider the extremely rumbly We-Vibe Tango X.

The Fun Factory Laya III’s vibrations have excellent rumbliness and a rich, layered feel. The first several settings feel very rumbly, and the top two settings are neutral.

But there’s more to the Laya’s story than most mini vibrators – the Laya’s vibrations also have a unique “layering effect,” which feels like typical vibrations plus a distinct “tapping” sensation underneath them. Listen to it in the video below.

To acheive this tapping effect, the motor runs at your chosen speed (the frequencies shown in our graph above), just like any other vibrator. But the Laya’s internal software briefly cuts power to the motor for mere milliseconds causing the motor to momentarily decelerate. Then it resumes power so the motor quickly accelerates back to its main operating frequency.

This brief slowdown-speedup cycle happens within milliseconds and sounds like a thump-thump-thump tapping. And it feels like deeper, more rumbly vibrations than the main frequency (because it’s actually decelerating briefly through lower frequencies).

All this is happening so fast, many times each second, that it feels like you’re always experiencing both the main vibration frequency and a more rumbly vibration frequency at the same time.

I love this innovation because I think both rumbly and neutral vibrations have benefits. Rumbly vibrations travel deeper and stimulate more nerves beneath the surface. But neutral (and buzzy) vibrations provide a surface-level kick that I also enjoy.

On the Fun Factory Laya III’s top settings I get the benefit of both types of vibrations – the concentrated, surface-level kick from the neutral vibes and the deeper stimulation from the rumbly tapping effect. It’s not an out-of-this-world difference, but I think it improves upon ordinary vibrations. And I enjoy this feeling more than normal rumbly vibes.

I’ve noticed a similar tapping effect in a few other rumbly mini-vibrators, like the We-Vibe Touch X and Je Joue Amour, but only on their lowest levels (which are already rumbly). But the Laya III keeps this deep, tapping sensation through all its power levels, even up to the top strength. So it’s the only one I’ve tried that feels like it combines neutral and rumbly vibes.

If you prefer only rumbly vibrations, you could stick to the lower power levels of the Laya III, which have a rumbly main frequency and a deeper tapping. Or go with the purely rumbly We-Vibe Tango X.

But the Fun Factory Laya III is right in my sweet spot. My favorite vibrations have a neutral feel, with a little overlap into the moderate levels of rumbly and buzzy. The Laya III fits really well with this preference.

Whether you prefer focused or broad stimulation is entirely a personal preference.

The Lovense Exomoon provides focused stimulation. It’s one of the narrowest bullet vibrators I’ve tested. And the lipstick tip comes to a fine point, giving it an even tinier surface area.

This is great for limiting stimulation to a small, specific area. If you prefer direct clitoral stimulation, this is an excellent option. I can apply medium pressure with this bullet but don’t like to press too hard, or the small tip begins to feel pokey. The Lovense Ambi provides more moderate focus if you enjoy some broader stimulation.

The Fun Factory Laya III provides lovely broad stimulation when using its entire length to hug your vulva. Or you can get a medium amount of precision when holding it like an ordinary vibrator, pressing the tip to your clit.

So this lay-on vibrator is best for people who prefer moderate to broad precision.

I wanted to clarify this because the Fun Factory Laya is marketed as also offering “pinpoint” stimulation using the ridges. But while the ridges provide an enjoyable texture, they are too small and un-pronounced to provide focused stimulation, like a typical bullet vibrator does. Your body cannot feel each ridge on its own.

If you prefer something that offers both broad and focused stimulation, consider the We-Vibe Touch X—you can use the flatter surface for broad stimulation or the slim tapered tip for focused stimulation.

But for those who enjoy broad coverage, the Laya is excellent! It blankets the whole vulva for direct but comfortably diffuse stimulation.

The Lovense app is outstanding and is my personal favorite app for controlling my toys. It offers a wide variety of simple, intuitive, and useful features to control the Exomoon. (The connectivity is also extremely reliable – we discuss connectivity here).

The main “Remote” control screen is easy to use and gives precise, extremely versatile control over your vibrations. Use the “Float” button to quickly set the vibration power to any constant level. 

Or you can draw out the exact pattern you want to feel by dragging your finger up and down to increase or decrease the vibration strength. Click “Loop” to put your creation on repeat. If you enjoy the pattern, you can save it for future use.

You’ll also see the vibration pattern clearly on the screen, so if a partner controls your Exomoon, they can tell exactly what you’re feeling. Many other brands don’t provide good visuals to your partner, making it hard for them to understand how their actions affect your toy’s vibrations.

One downside we noticed is that if you lock your phone screen, the vibration pattern changes a bit. The Exomoon keeps vibrating, but it’s not the same pattern you drew using the “Loop” button. This issue is only a minor inconvenience, and it does not occur when using the “Float” button to set a constant strength or when using pre-designed patterns.

You can choose from pre-made patterns under the “My Patterns” screen and adjust their speed. Or head to the “Discover” section to view patterns created and shared by other Lovense users. You can save any of these to your library. 

You can vibrate along to your favorite songs with the “Music” feature, but they have to be songs saved on your phone. Spotify compatibility has been disabled since September 1, 2022, when Spotify discontinued support for third-party apps. You can adjust how sensitive your toy is to the beats of the music. This is an excellent feature if you want to enjoy a constantly changing pattern without keeping your fingers busy on the screen.

Use the “Sound” feature to make your bullet responsive to the noise picked up by your phone’s mic. This is especially fun in a louder environment with Lovense’s wearables like the Lovense Ferri or Lovense Lush 3. 

You can also set an alarm for your bullet to buzz at a particular time, though this is less useful for handheld toys like the Exomoon.

The Lovense Exomoon’s long-distance features and experience are excellent. 

The Lovense app allows you to connect with a long-distance partner anywhere in the world. Adding a partner (or partners) is simple. Once you’ve saved them in your partners list, you can text, send photos, video chat, and share control of your toy – all within the Lovense app.

Your partner’s control screen is the same as the “Remote” feature you have during solo play. So they can easily create a repeating pattern using the “Loop” function or set your Exomoon to a constant power using “Float.” 

While video-chatting, your partner can see the vibration pattern overlayed on the screen so they can tell what you’re feeling. Or they can hide the vibration pattern to see you more clearly! Lovense’s visuals during video calls are better than other brands like Satisfyer. You can also share control without video or audio for anonymous play.

You can save multiple partners in your list if you connect with them often. Or send out an anonymous one-time link to someone. The anonymous feature lets you send a control link that works for a set amount of time. Once the time expires, they’ll lose access.

If your partner also has a Lovense toy, you can simultaneously control each other’s toys! You can adjust your partner’s settings to either require an invite and confirmation to control your toy each time, or to automatically accept their request so they can take you by surprise! This feature is best for their wearable toys like the Lovense Ferri and Lovense Lush 3.

The Lovense Remote is the most intuitive app for long-distance control I’ve used. And you each have great control and privacy settings to customize the experience. If you are primarily looking for a long-distance bullet vibrator, a Lovense toy like the Exomoon or Lovense Ambi provides the best experience.

The Lovense Exomoon and other Lovense toys have the most reliable connectivity with their app. It connects to the app quickly and easily. And it remains reliably connected. 

The first time you pair the Exomoon with Bluetooth, you’ll select “Add Toy.” The initial pairing process takes less than 20 seconds. After you’ve paired it once, when you open the Lovense app, it will typically connect instantly and automatically. 

Most brands require you to walk through a series of steps each time you want to play, but Lovense’s connection is typically instantaneous. 

I hardly ever have trouble with it disconnecting during use, even if I leave it dormant while using other apps. If it disconnects due to separating the toy and phone, it often automatically re-pairs when they’re back in range. 

And if you do have to manually re-pair it, it’s a very quick and easy process. Simply select the Exomoon from your list of toys again.

The same applies to long-distance control. My partner and I can keep a reliable connection, with disconnections being rare and minimally disruptive even if they do occur. 

If app control is important to you, Lovense toys are the best – primarily because of their reliable connectivity.

The Lovense Exomoon is very comfortable and easy to use. It’s right at the shorter end of my ideal bullet length. Its 3.4-inch length provides enough space to grip and leverage the bullet for good pressure. Vibrations in my hand are minimal and not distracting.

The bullet’s discreet “lipstick design” gives it some unusual ridges near the tip, which I had to adjust to. But it’s nothing that will bother most people.

The Exomoon has just one button on the toy. So if you don’t want to use the Lovense app, you’ll need to cycle through the 3 intensity levels and 4 vibration patterns. I wish it had separate buttons to increase and decrease power. But if you want more in-depth control, you can use the app. The button is easy to press without adjusting my grip.

The Fun Factory Laya III is very comfortable and easy to use.

Even though there’s not an obvious handle, there are several convenient and comfortable ways to hold the Laya III. It takes a little getting used to if you’re accustomed to bullet vibrators because it’s girthier and curved, but I’ve found this makes it more versatile. You can leverage it easily with your fingers or simply rest your palm over it and lightly press it to your vulva.

When lying on top of the Laya, it’s very comfortable if you’re only pressing your body lightly against it. It curves along your body and spreads the vibrations over the whole area, which keeps the direct contact comfortable.

If you want to press your hips into it, you may have to take your time to find a comfortable angle to lay the vibrator –  the Laya’s very firm, so in some positions, it can be uncomfortable to press too hard into it. If I want to press harder into the Laya, I’ve found using blankets or a pillow beneath the Laya to adjust its angle makes it more comfortable and provides some cushioning. Or you can slip your hand under your body to hold the Laya tilted at the angle you like.

When using the Laya as an ordinary handheld vibrator, you can feel the vibrations in your hand—but that’s mostly when you’re holding it in the air. I don’t feel them much once I press the Fun Factory Laya to my body, and I don’t find them distracting at all, even on high power.

The curved shape makes it easy to apply excellent pressure whether you’re gripping it or using it hands-free by pressing your hips down into it. Because it’s very firm (not plush like the We-Vibe Touch X or Magic Wand Micro), you may have to limit how much pressure you apply to keep it comfortable against your body. But with the powerful, layered vibrations, I don’t have to press hard to get excellent clit stimulation.

The buttons are positioned above the part of the Laya in contact with your clit, so pressing a button also pushes the Laya against you more firmly. If you don’t like that firm contact, you can simply move the toy away from your body briefly while you change the power.

The controls themselves are excellent. The “+” and “-” buttons allow you to tap back and forth through the 7 power levels and 3 patterns. You don’t need to cycle through power levels to return to a previous setting, as many mini vibrators require you to do. You can also press and hold the Laya’s buttons to make even more gradual adjustments.

The Lovense Exomoon is a decent bullet to use during sex. 

Since it’s on the shorter end, it can be a little tiring to reach down and hold it in place during sex. It just takes a little more effort than some. 

The tapered tip works well during solo use but requires you to angle the bullet’s base away from your body to keep consistent contact. That angle can be restricted in positions where you’re facing your partner, like Missionary. It’s still doable if you lean away from each other a bit. But it takes more intentionality than some bullets – especially those with angled shapes like the Lovense Ambi.

It’s better in positions facing away from your partner where you have plenty of room to maneuver the bullet.

If using your bullet during sex is a top priority, consider the Lovense Ambi. If it’s not a top priority, most people will still enjoy the Exomoon during sex.

The Fun Factory Laya III is one of my favorite mini vibrators to use during sex.

First, you can use it as a lay-on vibrator during sex for hands-free clit stimulation (discussed in depth below). If you don’t want to hold the Laya, you can lie face down with the vibrator sandwiched between your vulva and the bed (or a pillow) while your partner penetrates from behind. This is one of the main reasons I love the Laya III and use it so much!

If you don’t want to limit yourself to the position I mentioned above, it’s also great when you hold the Fun Factory Laya and use it like a normal handheld vibrator.

In sex positions with a lot of space to maneuver, like Spooning, there are many comfortable ways to use the Laya. You can rest your palm over the toy to press its contoured shape comfortably along your body. Or you can hold the end and angle it against you for firmer pressure. It’s very comfortable and keeps great contact with my clit, even during a lot of movement.

It’s also excellent in Missionary or other positions facing your partner. The curved design helps it fit seamlessly between your bodies, even when space is limited in these face-to-face positions. The curved shape also makes leveraging the Laya to apply pressure during sex easy. Occasionally, if my partner’s thrusting fast or his body bumps into my hand, the Laya can press mildly uncomfortably into my clit since it’s so firm. But this is rare and I haven’t found it to be a major issue.

The layered, rumbly vibrations also travel deep into my body which is very stimulating during sex.

The Lovense Exomoon is very quiet. It’s inaudible from behind a closed door on every power level, so it’s discreet. And the sound isn’t annoying during use, either. If discretion is a priority, the Exomoon is a good choice.

The Fun Factory Laya III’s noise levels are sub-par. The vibrations are often very quiet, only reaching 42.1 dB on high power. But when you hold the Laya in certain ways, it makes a louder rattling sound.

The rattling mostly happens when I’m holding the toy in the open air instead of pressed against my body. So when you move the Laya off your body to adjust its position, it’s likely to make this louder noise.

When we tested whether my partner could hear the Laya behind our closed bedroom door, he began hearing the rattling sound when I turned the Laya to power level 4 and above. But when I kept the Laya pressed to my body to prevent the rattling, he could not hear the vibrations on any power level or setting.

When I turned on a low-power box fan in the bedroom to mask the Laya’s noise, my partner said he could still barely hear the Laya rattling on its top setting – but only since he was standing right at the door trying to listen for it. He didn’t think anyone would notice it in a normal circumstance.

Playing music in the bedroom successfully masked the sound of the rattle.
Since I love everything else about this toy and we live alone, the noise issue doesn’t bother me, so I still use the Laya often. But if you have housemates, the We-Vibe Touch X is much quieter.

The Lovense Exomoon is rechargeable and lasted 85 minutes on high power during our testing, which is pretty good. I often forget to charge between uses and still have plenty of battery life.

The Fun Factory Laya III is rechargeable and has a great battery life, lasting 103 minutes on its highest power in our test. This is longer than most of my bullet and mini vibrators, even than stronger ones. So it’s an excellent choice if you want a mini-vibrator with a long battery life.

You charge it with the included magnetic USB charging cable. One downside is that it takes 6-7 hours to fully charge, whereas most take just 1-2 hours. So you’ll want to plan ahead to keep the Laya charged. I typically charge it after every use, just in case.

The Lovense Exomoon’s build quality seems good. A silicone handle would feel a little more luxurious, but the ABS plastic handle feels solid and durable. The silicone tip is very smooth, and the button has a nice feel. 

I’ve had the Exomoon since June 2022 and have not experienced any issues yet. And I’ve had other Lovense toys for over 3 years without problems, so I expect the Exomoon to last.

The Fun Factory Laya III has a fantastic build quality (except for the rattling sound discussed above). The body-safe silicone feels very luxurious, and the ridges provide a grippy texture I really like. It has a nice weight, which feels high-quality in the hand. I also like the feel of the button click. The buttons are raised, so you can feel them without looking. The Laya feels solid and not easily breakable, with no bendy parts at risk of overstress.

I also love the color I got—“Sage Green,” a muted, more neutral-feeling color that is rare in the hot pink world of sex toys.

The Lovense Exomoon is completely waterproof (IPX7 submersible), so it’s very easy to wash. You can submerge it in water without worrying about keeping parts dry while scrubbing with soap and water!

Since the Fun Factory Laya III is IPX7 waterproof, it’s very easy to clean. You can fully submerge it while scrubbing with soap and water without worrying about damaging the toy. And you can also take it with you in the bath!
