Lovense Exomoon vs Maude Drop Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Lovense Exomoon is an app-controlled lipstick bullet vibrator that’s best if you want an exceptional app and prefer rumbly vibrations with mild-to-moderate strength.
The Exomoon is more rumbly than Lovense’s other vibrators, though it doesn’t pack as much intensity as some, including the Lovense Ambi bullet vibrator. Those who value the deep impact of rumbly vibrations will want the Exomoon. Those who care more about intensity will prefer the Lovense Ambi.
Lovense’s app is excellent – the best of any brand we’ve tried. Its features are helpful and intuitive. And the Exomoon maintains a steady, reliable connection with the Lovense app. The Exomoon is also quiet and visibly discreet with its realistic “lipstick” design.
The Maude Drop is a mini vibrator that’s much broader than typical bullets or other small vibrators. It’s designed to feel more like a wand vibrator while maintaining a compact size. It’s basically the head of a wand vibrator without a handle.
Unfortunately, without a handle, as most wand vibrators and other mini vibrators have (including the Maude Vibe), the Maude Drop is fairly uncomfortable. You feel the vibrations substantially in your hand, and it becomes distracting quickly. It’s also tricky to leverage and maneuver.
The vibrations themselves are powerful but intensely buzzy. Most people prefer rumbliness, but others will enjoy these buzzy vibrations.
Regardless of vibration preferences, the discomfort is a dealbreaker for me. I think most people who prefer broad stimulation like the Maude Drop provides will benefit from choosing a different vibrator.
For better broad stimulation, consider the We-Vibe Touch X mini vibrator. Or a wand vibrator like the Magic Wand Mini.
If you like intense, buzzy vibrations like the Maude Drop provides, the Maude Vibe is a better choice. This one offers focused stimulation, more like a bullet vibrator.

Vibrations: Power And Range
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 Maude Drop has a great top vibration strength but a mediocre power range. The lowest setting is a 4.75 out of 10 vibration strength, so it begins with moderate power. This may be too much for those who need gentle warmup levels, but it will be fine for those who are not extra sensitive.
The top strength is an 8 out of 10, which is above average for a mini vibrator and is more than enough power for me. There are only 3 intensity levels, so the jumps between strengths are not gradual. Some people will find the steps jarring.
If you want comparable strength on high power but also need gentle warmup levels, consider the Lovense Ambi. If you enjoy intensity and do not need gradual steps, the Maude Drop is good.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
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 Maude Drop is for those who want intense buzzy vibrations. Even its lowest setting is moderately buzzy. And the top two levels are extremely buzzy.
If you don’t know whether you prefer rumbly or buzzy vibrations, I’d recommend a more rumbly option since that’s what most people like. But some (though fewer) people prefer buzziness. And the Maude Drop will satisfy those who like the combination of extreme buzziness and high intensity.
Rumble lovers should consider other options. The Pillow Talk Racy is the most rumbly mini vibrator in this price range. Or, if you’re considering the Maude Drop for its wide shape, try a mini wand like the Magic Wand Mini, one of my favorites. Or the Orion Your New Favorite Wand (now tricky to find) if you need to stick to a tighter budget.
Stimulation Precision
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.
Whether you enjoy broad stimulation that encompasses your whole vulva or precise stimulation that remains focused on a particular spot is a personal preference.
The Maude Drop provides very broad stimulation. It is an egg-shaped mini-vibrator, so you can’t limit pressure to a small area. Even the tapered tip feels wider than most mini vibrators.
Pressing any section of this toy against you will stimulate most of your vulva. In this way, it acts more like a wand vibrator than a bullet! It’s great for those who enjoy diffuse stimulation that affects the entire area.
App Control: Close Range Features
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.
App Control: Long Distance Features
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.
App Control: Connectivity
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.
Comfort & Ease of Use
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.
Compared to my other bullets and mini vibrators, the Maude Drop is difficult to use and uncomfortable.
Unlike most mini, bullet, or wand vibrators, the Maude Drop has no “handle.” So you hold the Drop directly where the motor is located. As a result, I feel the vibrations substantially in my hand. It’s tolerable on the lowest setting but very distracting on the top two power levels.
The handleless egg shape makes it difficult to leverage the toy for pressure – you must use your whole hand and arm to press. For those who typically just rest the vibrator against you, this won’t matter too much. But those who like to apply pressure will want a toy with a handle.
The Maude Drop uses a single-button control system to cycle through the 3 intensity levels. Since there are only 3 settings, cycling through them takes little time, so having just one button is not an issue. But the button is difficult to press, and I often need two hands.
If you want a broad mini vibrator like the Maude Drop, the We-Vibe Touch X is much more comfortable and easy to use. Or, if you are okay with a larger toy, consider a quality, affordable wand vibrator like the Magic Wand Mini.
Use During Sex
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 Maude Drop is a poor toy during sex. I can only get good stimulation from it in the spooning position or others where I’m not facing my partner. And I get tired quickly from pressing with my whole arm since it can’t be leveraged easily.
When using the Maude Drop in missionary position, it’s too bulky to fit both the toy and my hand between our bodies, so I don’t feel any impactful vibes. Slimmer mini vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X (one of my favorites) or Dame Pom have a better shape to use during sex in all positions. Or the Je Joue Amour is another broad option that’s more affordable.
Noise
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.
While the Maude Drop is not one of my quietest mini vibrators, it’s reasonably discreet.
I can use the first two power levels in my bedroom without my partner noticing from the other side of the door. At its highest power level, my partner could hear it during our testing. However, he noted that he had to wait for noise outside our house to get especially quiet to hear the Maude Drop – and he doubted anyone would notice it during ordinary use.
Turning on a box fan or playing music in the bedroom completely masked the Maude Drop’s noise on its highest power. So if you need to be discrete, it’s definitely doable with some creativity.
Consider the We-Vibe Touch X or Pillow Talk Racy if you prioritize quiet vibrations.
Battery Life
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 Maude Drop is rechargeable and has an acceptable battery life, lasting 75 minutes on high power. At this level, you’ll definitely have enough time, but you’ll want to charge between uses.
Build Quality
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 Maude Drop has a decent build quality. It’s covered in a comfortable, smooth silicone. The button feels a little cheap because it has some responsiveness issues and takes firm pressure to click. But the toy itself seems solid and durable.
Cleaning
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!
The Maude Drop is easy to clean by running it under the sink. It’s IPX6 splashproof, so you can safely scrub it under running water, but you should not completely submerge it.
