In the next two sections, I’ll cover the clit motor’s power and rumbliness in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her is one of the few budget dual-stimulation wearables with genuinely strong clit vibrations. But it’s still somewhat fit-dependent. It has strong raw power, decent transfer, and some rumbly depth on the lower/middle settings. But it lacks very gentle settings and is extremely buzzy on high. For more reliable contact, range, or rumbliness, choose the pricier Lelo Ida Wave or Lovense Dolce.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Pearl 2’s vibration power and rumbliness in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: the Pearl 2 is one of the least stimulating panty vibrators I’ve tested. The motor itself is strong, but the design doesn’t deliver that power to my clit, and the vibrations are extremely buzzy. Buzzy vibes need consistent firm contact to land, and the Pearl 2’s loose fit can’t provide it.

In the same price range, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy hits the same top strength and actually transfers the vibrations to your clit. For about $50 more, the Lovense Ferri is a much better option – the best vibration transfer of any panty vibrator I’ve tested.

The Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her has a strong clit motor power, especially for this price range. Some of that power gets lost since the clit arm doesn’t fit in tight contact with my body, but not too much.

Its clit motor reaches an 8.5 out of 10 on high, outperforming others, and matching much pricier dual-stimulation toys like the Lelo Ida Wave. But on my body, the clit arm presses a little too gently against me to deliver that full strength. The G-spot shaft is slightly too long for my anatomy, so I don’t get the firm, close contact from the clit arm that I prefer unless I press the toy in with my hand. And there’s no adjustable mechanism, so I can’t adjust it to fit my body better.

The stimulation is still enjoyable. The way the clit and G-spot vibrations interact with each other makes it feel a little more rumbly and helps the vibrations travel reasonably enough even without perfect pressure. And those who can handle longer shafts may get better clit contact and feel more of the motor’s full strength.

The power range is also somewhat narrow. The three levels jump from moderate (4.0) to strong (7.0) to very strong (8.5), so there’s no super gentle warmup. If you like a slow build, the Fantasy For Her won’t give you incremental control. The Lovense Dolce and Lelo Ida Wave each have broader power ranges with gradual steps between levels.

Although the Honey Play Box Pearl 2’s vibrations are strong, they don’t transfer to the clit well so it feels weak.

The Pearl 2 has a strong clit motor – at a 9 out of 10 top strength, among my panty vibrators it’s second only to the Lovense Ferri, which hits 9.35. On paper, that’s enough power for me to orgasm hands-free. But the design doesn’t deliver that power to my clit – the Pearl 2 has the worst vibration transfer of any panty vibrator I’ve tested.

The Pearl 2 has no magnet, so it shifts around freely in my underwear. The Pearl’s raised bump keeps the toy from naturally hugging my body, and the stimulation point shifts off my clit quickly. The vibrations are also buzzy, and buzzy vibrations need more consistent, firm contact with my clit since they don’t travel as deep. The only way to actually feel this motor’s strength is to press the toy against my clit with my hand, which defeats the entire purpose of a panty vibrator.

Power range is also narrow, spanning from 6.75 to 9 out of 10, which means there’s no gentle starting point for warming up – the lowest setting is already moderately strong.

In the same price range, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy hits the same top strength, a wider power range, and it has a contoured body that transfers vibrations well. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, the Ferri is the across-the-board better option – stronger power, better vibration transfer, and a far better app.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer rumbly. But it’s a personal preference, and some people enjoy buzzy vibrations more.

The Fantasy for Her Stimulate-Her’s clit motor leans buzzy, especially on high.

On its lowest setting, the clit motor is neutral – around 79 Hz, so it’s neither especially rumbly nor buzzy. But it becomes much buzzier as you increase power, reaching an extremely buzzy 139 Hz on the top setting.

However, the G-spot motor helps add some rumbly character from the cross-motor interaction. On the first and second levels, the two motors vibrating at different frequencies adds a wobbling sensation in the clit arm that you feel alongside the main vibrations. It makes the lower and middle settings feel more rumbly than they actually are. But that effect fades on high, so the top setting feels clearly buzzy.

If you can warm up and orgasm on the lower and middle levels, the Stimulate-Her may have enough of a rumbly quality for you. But if you need the highest setting to finish, you’ll mostly feel its extremely buzzy clit vibrations.

If rumbly clit stimulation is a priority, the Lelo Ida Wave and Lovense Dolce are better options.

We rate panty vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer rumbly. But it’s a personal preference, and some people enjoy buzzy vibes more.

The Pearl 2 is extremely buzzy across its entire power range. Its lowest setting measures 132 Hz, the median lands at 143 Hz, and the top climbs to 154 Hz – all sitting well into the extremely buzzy range.

Buzzy vibrations stay concentrated near the surface rather than traveling deep, so they need strong power AND excellent vibration transfer to feel stimulating on my clit. The Pearl 2 has the power but, as noted above, its loose fit keeps the vibrations from transferring to your body well. As a result, even though I often enjoy buzzy vibes personally, they don’t work for this toy.

For rumbly clit stimulation in a panty vibrator, the VeDO Niki is the best choice by a wide margin, never crossing into buzzy territory. Just note the Niki is remote-only, not app-controlled. If you like buzzy vibrations, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy is a better option in this price range – while it’s similarly buzzy to the Pearl, it transfers the vibes to my clit well.

In the next two sections, I’ll cover the G-spot motor’s power and rumbliness in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her has the best G-spot vibrations I’ve found in a budget dual-stimulation wearable. Its internal arm is slim and doesn’t press as firmly into my G-spot as pricier options like the Lovense Dolce, but the vibrations are still strong, stimulating, and fairly rumbly internally. The main downside is its narrow three-level range with no gentle warmup.

Like all panty vibrators, the Honey Play Box Pearl 2 only stimulates your clit – not your G-spot. Since most women need clit stimulation to orgasm, a panty vibrator is often the right type of wearable. But if you’re interested in G-spot stimulation instead, see all our recommendations for the best egg vibrators here.

The Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her has very strong G-spot vibrations, especially for a budget dual-stimulation wearable.

Its G-spot motor reaches a 9.75 out of 10 on high, slightly stronger than the pricier Lovense Dolce (9.4). But the slim internal arm doesn’t press as firmly into my G-spot the way bulkier dual-stimulation toys like the Dolce do. I still think it feels nice and stimulating.

The G-spot motor’s power range is narrow, just like the clit motor. There are only three levels, and the lowest is already strong at 6.75. The settings jump from 6.75 to 9.0 to 9.75, so there’s no gentle warmup and not much room to build gradually if that’s important to you. I find for internal stimulation, I don’t need quite as gentle lower levels personally.

If you’re on a budget and want a dual-stimulation wearable with strong G-spot vibes, this is the best option.

The Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her’s internal arm has good rumbliness – better than its clit arm.

For G-spot stimulation, rumbly vibrations matter more than they do for clitoral. With clit vibrators, you’re placing the vibe directly on a highly sensitive area. But G-spot vibrations have to travel farther through tissue to reach more nerve-rich regions, and lower-frequency rumbly vibrations travel through your body much more effectively.

Its lowest setting is moderately rumbly at around 69 Hz – and this setting actually has good power, so you have a strong, rumbly setting to work with. The middle setting becomes moderately buzzy at around 102 Hz, and the top setting reaches the extremely buzzy range at around 114 Hz. But even as it gets buzzier, the vibrations have enough strength that they still feel impactful internally rather than turning into a shallow buzz.

The cross-motor interaction helps too. Since both motors run together at different frequencies, the clit and G-spot motors create a wobbling, beat-like sensation that makes the internal vibrations feel even more rumbly. I feel the effect even more internally than on my clit.

So while the Stimulate-Her gets buzzier as you increase power, you still get some good rumbliness internally.

The Fantasy For Her G-Spot Stimulate-Her isn’t controlled through an app. App control lets you create custom patterns, control multiple motors or toys, play long-distance, and lets a controlling partner see exactly what your toy is doing. If that matters to you, see our app-controlled recommendations in these guides:

• best remote and app-controlled vibrators (all types of vibrators)
• best wearable vibrators (wearables only).

In the next sections, I’ll cover the HoneyPlayBox app’s close-range features, long-distance features, and connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: the HoneyPlayBox app does basic intensity control well but falls short on any greater customization capabilities. People who care a lot about the app control quality should get the Lovense Ferri.

There’s a good, basic interface for adjusting a constant vibration setting which is all a lot of people need. But pattern selection is poor, pattern creation is buggy, the long-distance features are limited, and connectivity has some issues in specific situations – missed commands during quick intensity changes, occasional long-distance session drops, and disconnections when there’s a lot of body interference blocking the signal.

If exceptional app control is your top priority, the Lovense Ferri is a much better option for about $50 more.

Note: Honey Play Box has updated their app since this section was written. We are working on updating this discussion. However, the video demo is up to date.

The Honey Play Box app’s close-range feature quality is split: setting and adjusting a constant vibration intensity is genuinely good, but most other features are clunky or don’t work as designed. If a clean intensity controller is all you need from the app, the Pearl 2’s app will be fine. If you want pattern creation, real sound-reactive control, or richer features, the experience is worse than better apps like Lovense.

The strong point is the “Free” control screen (This is what this control mode is called, there are not “paid” vs “free” features). You drag an on-screen dot up or down to set the vibration intensity, with a live waveform showing the level you’ve set. It’s precise, easy for you or a partner to use, and the visual feedback is good – your partner will understand what intensity they’ve set your toy to. It’s similar in concept to Lovense’s main remote screen, and for basic intensity control it works well.

The “Presets” screen is where things start getting clunky. You drag a slider from 1 to 9: positions 1, 2, and 3 are low / medium / high constant intensities, and 4-9 are preset patterns. The patterns are simply numbered – no descriptive names, no preview icons – so there’s no way to know what each pattern feels like without selecting it. There’s also no intensity adjustment for the patterns; you get them at one fixed strength.

Pattern creation works in principle but not in practice. From the “Free” screen, you can tap a “loop” button and draw your own waveform, and the vibrations actually play live as you draw – which is the right design (some apps like We-Vibe make you draw blind without being able to feel what you’re drawing). The problem is the resulting pattern doesn’t match what you drew. A smooth wave you sketch on the screen might come back as a jerky pulse or a series of discrete steps.

A second save-a-session feature records the vibrations you used throughout your entire play session so you can play them again later. But it’s inconsistent – sometimes the save prompt appears, sometimes it doesn’t, and saved sessions are buried and hard to find under your Profile menu rather than alongside normal controls.

The Sound Reactive and Music modes that many apps provide are present but barely usable.

The way Sound Reactive control usually works is that the vibrations get stronger only when the noise around you is louder. But the Honey Play Box app’s Sound Reactive mode has no threshold control. So even quiet sounds trigger the vibrations – and several Honey Play Box toys start with enough power that the vibrations are loud right away.

Music sync only works with audio files saved on your phone (no Spotify or other streaming), and the vibrations don’t really match the music. Both sound and music modes feel like they were shoved in to pad the feature list.

There’s one genuinely uncommon bonus: a Voice Control mode. You set a wake word (“Hi, Honey” by default, but customizable), then give spoken commands to change intensity or switch patterns. There’s a small command list to learn and a bit of lag, but it works as designed. I don’t reach for it often, but I could see it being useful when your hands are busy or have lube on them and you don’t want to touch your phone.

A small annoyance worth mentioning: the app requires account creation even if you only ever plan to use it close-range with no partner. You stay logged in after setup, so it’s not recurring friction, but it’s worth knowing going in.

For pure intensity control via the Free screen, the Pearl 2’s app is genuinely fine – and better than the NS Novelties Techno Lucy‘s more basic app at the same price. But if you want the full close-range features done well – clean preset patterns, a pattern loop that actually matches what you draw, real sound-reactive control with thresholds – the Lovense Ferri is a much beter option for about $50 more. The Lovense Remote app is the best of any brand.

Note: Honey Play Box has updated their app since this section was written. We are working on updating this discussion. However, the video demo is up to date.

The Honey Play Box app’s long-distance feature set is limited and a bit confusing to learn. You can video call your partner and have them control the Pearl 2’s vibration intensity in real time, but that’s the entire feature set – for anything richer, the Lovense Ferri is better.

In a long-distance video call, your partner sees a single intensity slider and can raise or lower the Pearl 2’s vibration power. That’s it. They can’t send preset patterns, and they can’t draw looping patterns the way you can during close-range play. If you both have HoneyPlayBox toys, only one of you can share toy control at a time – there’s no mutual control during the call. With better apps like Lovense’s, your partner has the same control screen you’d have during nearby control, and both partners can control each other’s toys simultaneously.

Getting into the call is also confusing. There’s a “Remote” screen that’s actually the long-distance screen (it isn’t labeled that way), and a separate chat screen with your saved-partner list. Both have buttons that look like they’ll start a video call, but only the “Remote” screen actually shares toy control with your partner – starting a call from the chat screen is video-only without any toy control.

Once you’re past the setup confusion, the call itself is fairly good. The video call controls – mute, camera on/off, front/rear camera swap, end call – sit along the top of the screen and can’t be minimized, so they take a slice of your view of your partner, but not much. Your partner’s intensity slider sits along the edge of the screen, out of the way of the video, and your own camera preview is a small window you can drag wherever is least intrusive. Video quality is decent rather than great – there’s slight pixelation around edges that some will find off-putting, but it didn’t bother us.

In-app messaging exists, but it’s entirely separate from toy control. You can’t text your partner while they’re controlling your vibrations, so if you wanted to swap steamy messages mid-session, you’ll have to use a regular messaging app.

If long-distance play is a major priority for you, the Ferri is a much better option for about $50 more. Lovense’s long-distance experience is the best of any panty vibrator I’ve tested.

The Honey Play Box app’s connectivity is decent in both nearby Bluetooth and long-distance modes – pairing is fast and Bluetooth range carries far, but the signal can be unreliabile under a lot of body interference.

Pairing the toy to your phone is pretty fast and consistent. Every time you connect, you have to go to the connection screen and select your toy, so it always takes a couple clicks and a few seconds – not the instant auto-pairing better apps like Lovense provide, but quick enough that it doesn’t get in the way.

When a bluetooth disconnection happens, either because you’re out of range or something blocks the signal, getting reconnected is relatively quick and easy, but it takes manual action in the app – it won’t automatically reconnect like many apps do. The app pops up a screen letting you know your toy is disconnected with a “Reconnect” button. You have to click that button and then select your toy from the list. It takes a couple seconds to pair, but works reliably. The vibrations stop on disconnect, which is best for discretion but disrupts the stimulation.

The Pearl 2 maintains a reliable connection under low-to-moderate body interference like typically exists when controlling the toy yourself or with your partner alongside or in front of you – angles where your body doesn’t fully sit between their phone and the toy. But it disconnects completely under more extreme positioning with a lot of body interference. Body tissue is the main thing that can make an app’s bluetooth connection drop during play because water-rich materials like your body weaken an app’s signal much more than other materials like clothes and typical walls.

Bluetooth reached about 240 feet in our open-air max range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. That’s outstanding range, more than enough for room-to-room use. But keep in mind real-world range will be shorter at angles with body interference.

There’s a minor issue with missed commands on the “Free” control screen. Drawing a fast spike up and then pulling intensity back down often skips the spike entirely – the app jumps straight to the lower intensity without registering the first command. It feels like control input is being read slightly too slowly, so quick back-to-back changes lose their intermediate commands. If you like to play with quick intensity swings rather than smooth ramps, expect to lose some inputs.

Long-distance reliability is decent during active use, but there are some inactive phone behaviors that can cause the session to occasionally drop. As long as one of you keeps the app open, control runs through cleanly – no missed commands, no session drops. But the session occasionally drops if you both lock your phone for some reason; when that happens, you both have to reopen the app and the toy-wearer has to reconnect the toy. Switching between Wi-Fi and cell data mid-session also breaks control, but you can avoid this by starting the session on cell data – once you do, you can switch back and forth without losing the connection. For occasional long-distance use, these quirks are workable.

If you need more reliable connectivity, for both nearby and long-distance play, the Lovense Ferri is a much better panty vibe for about $50 more with outstanding connectivity.

In the next two sections, I’ll cover the G-spot Stimulate-Her’s remote features and connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The G-spot Stimulate-Her’s remote has great connectivity and good, basic controls. It stays connected through body interference, responds instantly to a button press, and has excellent range. But heat is controlled from the on-toy button only, pattern navigation is clunky, and the buttons sometimes need a deliberate press to register.

The Honey Play Box Pearl 2 doesn’t include a physical remote control. A remote lets you adjust the toy by feel – without pulling out your phone. Though there’s other downsides like less depth and no visual feedback to help your partner know what your toy’s doing. If you want to consider options with physical remotes, see our recommendations in these guides:

• best remote and app-controlled vibrators (all types of vibrators)
• best wearable vibrators (wearables only).

The Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her’s remote works for basic vibration control, but it has a few limitations.

The biggest gap is that the remote does not control the warming function. Heat has to be turned on or off from the toy itself, which is inconvenient for a product you’re wearing. You’ll have to reach down and find the heating button on the base of the toy by feel without seeing it. Or turn it on beforehand.

Vibration intensity control is good, but pattern control is more limited. The + and − buttons move forward and backward through the 3 steady intensity levels first. But once you reach the end of those levels, the same buttons start moving through the toy’s 17 patterns. Since there are so many patterns, getting back to a steady vibration can take a lot of clicks if you’re in the middle of the pattern cycle.

The easiest reset is to hold the remote’s power button to turn the toy off, then click it back on. This restarts the toy at the lowest steady intensity level. That workaround helps, but it’s still less convenient than having separate power and pattern controls. And since the +/− buttons are used to change the pattern, you can’t adjust each pattern’s intensity.

The remote is comfortable to hold, but the buttons are not raised enough to distinguish from each other by touch, so I usually have to look down to make sure I’m pressing the right one. They also occasionally need a more deliberate press or a short pause between clicks to register. The indicator light blinks when you press a button, but it can blink even when the toy does not actually change settings, which might confuse your partner if they’re controlling your toy.

The Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her’s remote connectivity is great.

Its biggest strength is connection reliability through body interference. Body tissue between the remote and toy is what most often disrupts a remote’s signal during partner control. Your body sits in the signal path, and water-rich materials (like your body) can meaningfully affect RF signals. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively challenging angles, and the G-spot Stimulate-Her stayed connected through all of them. Many wearable remotes I’ve tested – including some pricier ones like the We-Vibe Moxie+ – drop connection in at least one position, so this is a plus for the Stimulate-Her.

When a press registers, the toy responds instantly, with no noticeable delay between pressing the remote and feeling the toy react. In our 50-click test, 2 presses did not change the toy’s setting – but this seemed like a slight button design issue rather than a connection issue. The buttons sometimes need a firmer press or a brief pause between clicks to register reliably.

There is also no reconnection routine when starting to play – the remote is always connected.

The remote reached about 135 feet in our open-air range test, measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. Real-world range will be shorter once walls, objects, and body interference come in, but this is still on the long end for wearable remotes I’ve tested. It has more than enough range for most ways people would realistically use a physical remote.

Like most wearable vibrators, the Stimulate-Her’s on-toy controls are limited. Since buttons are hard to reach, you’ll mainly use the remote.

The toy has a single button that cycles forward through 3 power levels and 17 patterns in one shared loop. There’s no way to step backward, so if you overshoot your setting, you have to keep cycling through the remaining options.

The button itself is easy to feel and comfortable to press. Pressing it pushes the toy into your body slightly, but the broad shape distributes the pressure evenly, so it does not dig in uncomfortably. The main friction is reaching the button while wearing the toy.

The on-toy button is also the only way to control the heating function, since the remote does not handle heat. So if you want to use the heating function, turn it on before inserting the toy.

For everything else, the remote is the main way you’ll control the Stimulate-Her.

The on-toy controls are basic and a little uncomfortable, but with a panty vibe you’ll mostly control the toy from the app anyway. The on-toy button is mainly for turning the toy on and off, plus the occasional power step when your phone isn’t within reach or if you want to also use your panty vibe like a handheld toy.

A single button cycles through three power levels and six patterns. Three levels covering the full power range is a reasonable range for button control – fewer settings means fewer clicks to get to your preferred intensity. For the full continuous power range, you have to use the app. I’d also rather the patterns not be on the cycle because that adds more clicks I have to do when trying to adjust the power.

The button itself isn’t raised, so it’s hard to find by feel if you need to press it while wearing it. Pressing it also pushes the toy harder against you, and the prominent peak shape makes that pressure a bit uncomfortable.

Again, those downsides are pretty minor since you’ll mainly use the app.

The Stimulate-Her fits securely enough for dual-stimulation in bed, but it loosens when moving, so it’s not the best to wear around. And there’s no adjustable mechanism to make it fit more tightly to your individual body.

The internal G-spot arm helps anchor the toy, while the flexible side flaps sit between your inner thighs. In bed, that setup works well enough. The fit is a little loose – when I roll from my side onto my stomach, my legs pull the toy slightly away from my clit and I have to nudge it back – but it never feels like it will fall out. And when you’re not shifting positions, you can keep it in a good spot.

During light activity, the side flaps start working against the fit. When walking, my legs push the flaps making the toy wobble and drift slightly from my clit. It stays inserted, and I have no concerns of it falling out but the contact is less steady than when I’m lying still.

Heavy activity shifts it a lot. It still doesn’t fall out, but the stimulation point moves around enough that you have to constantly re-adjust it.

Most dual-stimulation wearables are not designed well for use outside the bedroom. Even in toys with an adjustable hinge like the Lovense Dolce stay securely in place, but are uncomfortable when worn under clothes or outside the bedroom.

The Honey Play Box Pearl 2 is one of the least secure panty vibrators I’ve tested. It shifts a ton while walking, and it can fall out during heavy activity. For a secure fit, a panty vibrator needs a magnet to secure it to your underwear like the Lovense Ferri and NS Novelties Techno Lucy have.

In bed is the least problematic of the three scenarios. The toy didn’t fall out for me, but I could feel it shifting when I rolled from one side to the other. Any leg movement bumped the toy – it’s fairly wide and has no magnet to keep it in place. The stimulation point mostly stayed on my clit, but the whole setup felt precarious.

When I walked around the house, the Pearl 2 shifted side-to-side significantly, especially on stairs, and the stimulation point drifted off my clit immediately. The toy is also wide enough that I could feel it bumping the inside of my legs as it shifted.

It was even worse during more rigorous activity. It fell out of my underwear during jumping jacks, bounced around during running and high knees, and shifted noticeably during squats. By that point, it’s essentially non-wearable.

In the same price range, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy stayed in place through walking and exercise. Or if you want a secure-fitting panty vibrator that also has an excellent app, consider the Lovense Ferri.

The Stimulate-Her is one of the more comfortable dual-stimulation wearables in-bed. But like most strong dual-stimulation wearables, it’s somewhat uncomfortable to wear around.

The materials are smooth, and it contours well to my body. It’s slimmer shape, while not applying as much G-spot pressure, makes it much more comfortable than bulkier options like the Lovense Dolce. All of these factors make it comfortable to use lying in bed in most positions.

Comfort is more mixed once I’m moving around. When walking around the side flaps make the toy wobble side-to-side a little. It’s not painful, but it can be distracting. I find sitting on it or bending at the waist is somewhat uncomfortable because the toy presses more firmly into my body.

Most dual-stimulation wearables that have both a strong clit motor and G-spot motor are somewhat uncomfortable to wear around since both arms have a fair size – they’re mainly for in bed use. If comfort while moving around is a big priority, a panty vibrator (clit stimulation) or egg vibrator (G-spot stimulation) is usually more comfortable. Or you can wear both at the same time – my favorite combo is the Lovense Ferri with the Lush Mini.

The Pearl 2 is one of the least comfortable panty vibrators I’ve tested, whether in bed or moving around.

Lying in bed is the better of the two scenarios. The toy’s prominent peak digs into my clit a bit more than I’d like. The extra pressure can be more stimulating, but it’s also hard to control, so it’s more uncomfortable than helpful. The wider body also touches the inside of my legs whenever I shift positions, so I feel the vibrations in my legs which can be distracting.

It’s worse when I’m up moving around. The same width causing vibrations in my legs feels more pronounced while walking, and because nothing holds the toy steady, the raised peak taps my clit uncomfortably as it jostles around.

In the same price range, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy is one of the most comfortable panty vibrators I’ve tested.

The Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her is reasonably quiet behind a closed bedroom door, but just did okay in our Background Noise Masking part of the test. Though it is a little quieter than the Lovense Dolce, its main pricier competitor.

In open air, it measured about 41 dBA on low and 46 dBA on high, both pretty quiet.

It did worse than many wearables in our Background Noise Masking subtest – I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away and we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes. The lowest vibration strength was masked by our quietest background noise we played. But on its middle and high strengths, my partner could just barely hear the vibrations as a subtle hum. Many wearables, including some powerful options like the Lush 4, were completely masked by the quietest background audio. At moderate background noise and above, every level was fully masked.

 

For the closed-door subtest, my partner stands on the other side of our bedroom door while I use the toy in bed. I use it handheld for this part, since wearing dampens sound so this gives the more conservative result. My partner couldn’t hear the Stimulate-Her on its low or middle settings. On high it was technically audible but just barely – this was his note in our testing spreadsheet: “I have to try hard to hear it while listening from behind the door and I don’t think anyone would hear in normal use.” Turning on a box fan in the bedroom was enough to cover the high setting.

If you want a quieter dual-stim wearable, the Lelo Ida Wave was fully masked at our quietest background-noise level on every setting. But it’s a much pricier option.

The Honey Play Box Pearl 2 is quiet, especially once you’re wearing it.

On low power, the vibrations measured at our testing room’s 35 dBA ambient floor – too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to pick up. On high, they stepped up to about 43 dBA, which is still quiet.

The Pearl 2 is in the most-discreet group of wearables in our Background Noise Masking subtest. In this subtest, I wear the vibrator and my partner listens from three feet away while we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). He couldn’t hear the Pearl 2 at any vibration strength under any of our three tested volumes of background noise. It is definitely audible in our room without any background audio playing – but every wearable vibrator we tested is, no matter how gentle and quiet the vibrations are.

Behind a closed bedroom door, the Pearl 2 was inaudible on its low and middle settings, but my partner could just barely hear it on high in our silent house. For this part of the test, my partner listens directly outside our bedroom door while I use the toy in bed. I use it like a handheld toy since wearing dampens sound, and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around. Holding the toy instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. This was his note from our testing spreadsheet word for word: “I had to try hard to hear them and don’t think anyone would in normal use.”

The G-spot Stimulate-Her ran for 85 minutes in our battery test with both motors on max power (warming feature off). That’s good for a strong dual-stimulation wearable, where powering two motors at once usually shortens runtime.

It lasted nearly twice as long as the Lovense Dolce, which ran for 45 minutes on max in our test. The Lelo Ida Wave lasted longer at 135 minutes, but the Stimulate-Her still has plenty of headroom for most use. Since you’ll likely spend some time below max power, real-world runtime will often last longer than our 85-minute test result.

The Pearl 2 has a short battery life. It lasted 55 minutes continuously running at its highest power during our test – typical of panty vibrators in this price range, but well below higher-end options. Since you’ll use the Pearl 2’s lower power levels too, your real-use runtime will likely be longer.

If long battery life is a priority, the Lovense Ferri is a much better option for about $50 more – it lasted 168 minutes during our test, about three times the Pearl 2’s runtime.

Cleaning the Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her is straightforward in practice, but our rating is conservative because the brand does not provide an IPX rating. I emailed Pipedream, the brand behind Fantasy For Her, and they said the toy is water-resistant but would not provide a specific IPX rating. So we rate it as having no verified IPX rating, which means we do not assume it is officially safe to rinse under a faucet or submerge.

In practice, I do carefully rinse the main silicone-covered areas under water while keeping water away from the charging port. Then I wipe the rest with a damp cloth. There also aren’t tight crevices that collect residue, so cleaning is fairly easy.

While it’s manageable to clean, the lack of IPX rating is less reassuring than fully waterproof wearables like the Lovense Dolce and Lelo Ida Wave, which are IPX7-rated and safe to fully submerge.

The Pearl 2 is very easy to clean. It’s IPX7 waterproof, so you can wash it under a running faucet with soap and water and it’s safe to completely submerge.

The Stimulate-Her feels solid overall, especially for a budget wearable.

The toy itself is mostly smooth silicone with a firm plastic ring at the base. There are seams around the base, but they look tight and don’t make the toy feel flimsy. The internal arm, perineum piece, and side flaps are all flexible, but sturdy, which makes them feel less likely to snap or strain with normal use.

The remote feels lighter and cheaper than the toy itself, but it works fine.

The Pearl 2 feels like it’s good quality. The body is almost entirely silicone with a slightly plush feel around the edges and a shimmery finish, and nothing feels easily breakable.
