Lovense Exomoon vs Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini 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 Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini is an excellent, budget-friendly bullet vibrator for those who enjoy strong, buzzy vibrations.
It’s very comfortable to use, is discreet, and has a great battery life. It has excellent vibration power (8.75 out of 10), especially for the price! However, it has no mild settings. The gentlest power level is a 6 out of 10 vibration strength.
This bullet vibrator is not for those who need gentle warmup settings or prefer rumbly vibrations – if that’s you, consider some alternatives I discuss here. But the Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini is excellent for those who want intensity on a budget.

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 Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini lives up to its name because its power levels are all strong – especially for such a small, affordable bullet vibrator. The starting point is already a 6 out of 10 vibration strength, and the top power reaches an 8.75 out of 10.
I can orgasm using just its first setting, which is comparable to the strength of many mid-sized vibrators. And the 3 settings it has are enough to provide comfortable, gradual steps between levels since its power range is relatively narrow.
If you like intensity, it’s excellent. But if you need mild warmups or prefer softer settings, this bullet vibrator may be too strong for you. In this price range, consider the Pillow Talk Flirty if you prefer mild stimulation. Or consider the Blush Limited Addiction if you want intense top settings but need just a touch less intensity on low. Bullet vibrators with much wider power ranges, providing very gentle and intense settings, are pricier.
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.
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. However, plenty of people enjoy buzzy vibrations more.
The Nasstoys Travel Vibe Mini is much better suited for those who like neutral or buzzy vibrations (like me). It has no rumbly settings. The lowest level is neutral, the middle is moderately buzzy, and the most intense setting feels extremely buzzy.
These buzzy vibrations have more of an impact at the surface which can make them feel more intense. Some people will find that overstimulating, but others will love it.
If you prefer low-frequency, rumbly vibrations, you’ll have to increase your budget. The most affordable rumbly option is the Pillow Talk Racy. Or for exceptional rumbliness the We-Vibe Tango X is best. But in general, the most rumbly bullet vibrators I’ve tested are less intense than the Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini. So, decide based on which you care more about.
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.
Like most bullets, the Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini provides more focused stimulation than other kinds of vibrators. Compared to other bullets, the amount of precision is toward the middle of the spectrum.
The Intense Travel Vibe Mini is 0.83 inches wide where the tip begins to taper – this feels focused but certainly not pinpoint. By pressing the side of the bullet to your body, you can get comfortable, firm pressure that’s not too precise. Or, if you prefer more pinpoint precision, the tip is tapered – so you can press the top of the bullet to limit the contact to a small area. This can be great if you like direct clitoral stimulation.
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.
The Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini is comfortable and easy to use.
Its 3.8-inch length is long enough to easily leverage without tiring your fingers or wrist. Although the vibrations travel into my hand some, they’re less noticeable once I press the bullet against my body. I don’t find them distracting.
The button is easy to press without changing your grip, but it’s a one-button control system. This means you have to cycle through the 3 power levels and 7 patterns on a loop – there’s no separate button to decrease power.
But I appreciate that turning the bullet off and back on resets the vibrator to its softest power. It’s an easy workaround to quickly decrease the intensity.
If you value having separate controls to increase and decrease power, the Blush Limited Addiction is the best option at this price point.
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 Nasstoys Travel Vibe works great during sex!
It’s a great length to leverage. Alghough it’s a straight bullet, so you don’t get the additional help that a curved shape (like the Pillow Talk Racy) provides. The width of the head is small enough to fit in tight areas yet large enough to hit the right spots comfortably.
I can angle the bullet vibe well without the base bumping into my partner’s chest in positions where we’re facing each other. And the tapered tip maintains really good contact with my clit – I can easily get direct clit stimulation during sex.
If you are looking for a bullet that works well to stimulate during sex, the Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini is one of the best at this price.
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.
The Nasstoys bullet is very discreet, especially for its power.
During our testing, I could use every power level without my partner hearing the vibrations from the other side of our closed bedroom door. So there’s no concern if you live with housemates.
We measured its top intensity level at 46.1 decibels – lower than most bullet vibrators with this much strength.
As someone who can be a little sensitive to noises in general, I don’t find the sound of its vibrations annoying or distracting at all. It’s a powerful, discreet bullet vibrator.
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 Nasstoys Travel Vibe is rechargeable and has one of the longest-lasting batteries of the bullets we’ve tested. During our test, it lasted 105 minutes at maximum power. It’s challenging to find one this strong that lasts this long.
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 Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini feels well-made, and I’ve had only good, reliable experiences with it. It has a nice weight that makes it feel solid, especially compared to other budget bullet vibrators. And the body-safe ABS plastic material is very smooth and comfortable. I like the feel of the button too.
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!
This bullet is IPX7 waterproof, which makes cleaning very easy. You can fully submerge it while scrubbing without worrying about water causing damage.
