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.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Club Vibe’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Club Vibe is one of the weaker panty vibrators for clit stimulation – not one I can orgasm with hands-free. Having only a single power level (no warmup, no build) and a loose fit, the vibrations just don’t feel stimulating.

For meaningfully better clit stimulation at a lower price, go with the Lovense Ferri (about $20 less) if you want app control, or the VeDO Niki (about half the price) if you want a physical remote.

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.

The Club Vibe 3.OH’s clit vibrations fall short. I can’t orgasm with it hands-free like I can with better panty vibes like the Lovense Ferri and VeDO Niki.

There’s only one power level – sitting at about 6.75 out of 10. There’s no way to dial intensity down for a gentler warmup or up for a stronger finish. And since it’s a hands-free toy, this really eliminates your ability to vary stimulation.

The vibrations also transfer poorly to my clit because there’s no magnet to secure it in place like better panty vibrators have. So the toy slips easily out of position, especially in looser underwear or pants. But even when wearing tight clothes, I still end up pressing the toy against me by hand to try to get the vibrations to feel stronger.

Both the Lovense Ferri and VeDO Niki are better picks with a better fit and more power levels.

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.

We rate panty vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because rumbliness is what most people prefer – but it’s genuinely a personal preference, so consider what you like.

With only one power level, there’s a single frequency: 109 Hz, which is extremely buzzy.

Panty vibes with buzzy clit motors can still feel great if the rest of the design delivers (like the Lovense Ferri). Unfortunately, the poor fit and lack of settings make this toy understimulating no matter the frequency.

If you do prefer rumbly clit vibrations, try the VeDO Niki.

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.

Like all panty vibrators, the OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH 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.

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.

The OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH 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).

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.

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).

In the next sections, I’ll cover the OhMiBod Club Vibe’s remote features and connectivity.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The remote itself is great – a longer range and a reliable connection set it apart from many panty-vibe remotes. But the toy gives little to control: just one intensity level, a few pulsing patterns, and sound-responsive control. The lack of steady vibration settings is a big downside.

If you want a great remote on a toy with stimulation worth controlling, go with the VeDO Niki (about half the price).

The Club Vibe’s remote is functional but flawed.

The toy itself gives the remote almost nothing to work with: you can toggle its single power level on or off, send a “burst” of that same power level by holding the burst button, and cycle through a short loop of four vibration patterns without the ability to adjust their strength.

The remote also has a music/sound-reactive mode, like many apps have, where the toy vibrates in response to ambient sound picked up by a mic on the remote. But the vibes are at one fixed intensity – no softer vibrations for softer sounds.

And since the mic is on the remote, keeping it in your pocket causes more vibrations from your clothes rustling than the sound around you. There’s also a sensitivity adjustment with three settings, indicated by how brightly the power button glows – I couldn’t see any difference between the brightness levels, and I couldn’t feel any difference in how the toy responded between settings.

Partner feedback is better than some. The power button blinks in time with the vibration patterns, so my partner can actually tell what my toy is doing. But it only blinks like this for patterns which most people don’t use much. And the display keeps blinking patterns even when the toy is off – so I can’t fully trust the indicator if something’s gone wrong.

The remote is also comfortable to hold and the buttons feel good. There are four distinct buttons, the click is crisp and satisfying, and the remote’s small size sits naturally in my hand. The buttons are easy to tell apart by touch, but with this many buttons, I still need to glance down to remember which one does what.

If a physical remote is what drew you to the Club Vibe, the VeDO Niki is a better choice for most people. It has a great remote – and more importantly, the toy itself is much better at about half the cost.

The OhMiBod Club Vibe’s remote connectivity is outstanding.

Its connection is reliable through common interference. Body tissue is the main thing that often breaks a remote’s signal during partnered play. Water-rich materials like your body weaken a remote’s signal – and your body often comes between your toy’s receiver and your partner with the remote.

Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Club Vibe holds a stable connection through all of them. Several panty-vibe remotes I have tested drop the connection at one or more of these positions, so a clean pass through all three is a real strength. Our test also runs harsher than typical real-world conditions, so partnered play should stay reliable in practice.

Button presses register with no perceptible lag – the toy reacts the instant I press, keeping the rhythm of play intact. And there’s no annoying reconnection routine when starting to play – the remote’s automatically connected. Though you have to make sure both the toy and remote are turned on separately.

The remote reaches about 200 feet in our open-air max range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. That’s by far the longest of any panty-vibe remote I have tested; the next-longest, the We-Vibe Moxie+, reached about 125 feet in the same test. Real-world range will be somewhat shorter once objects and body interference come in, but the Club Vibe has an outstanding signal strong enough to register at a far distance.

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 Club Vibe’s on-toy controls are even more limited than what most panty vibrators offer – the single button is a power switch to turn the toy on, but can’t control the vibrations at all from the on-toy button – you need the remote.

The button is squishy and takes firm pressure to register, with no tactile click to confirm the press worked. And because the toy sits between your body and your underwear, that firm press pushes the toy uncomfortably against your body when you’re starting or stopping it.

In practice this rarely matters during use – the remote handles everything else, and the on-toy button only comes into play at the very beginning or end of a session. But it does mean there’s no real on-toy fallback if you’d rather skip the remote or if you want to try to use the toy like a handheld vibe.

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 OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH has one of the least secure fits of any panty vibrator I’ve tested. For a panty vibrator to fit well, it has to have a magnet that secures it to your underwear like the Lovense Ferri and VeDO Niki have, among others. This panty vibe just slips loosely into your underwear.

Without a magnet, I have to rely on tight clothing to hold it close to my clit, which just doesn’t work well.

Even lying down, the Club Vibe shifts around inside my underwear – especially when I roll onto my stomach, where it falls forward too high. During light or heavy activity like walking around, going upstairs, or working out it doesn’t fall out, but it shifts around a ton and doesn’t stay in contact with your clit – so the stimulation’s bad.

If you want a panty vibrator that stays where you put it, go with the Lovense Ferri if you want app control or the VeDO Niki if you’d prefer a physical remote. Both are great, magnetically secured panty vibrators.

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 Club Vibe’s loose fit makes it less comfortable than magnetically secured panty vibrators.

The loose fit isn’t as bad in bed since the toy’s not moving around a ton. Nothing actively hurts – no pinching, no pressure on my pubic bone, no sharp seams. But the toy is rigid, firm, and just sits loosely in your underwear, so it doesn’t exactly hug your body comfortably either.

Light activity is where the loose fit becomes a bigger distraction. The toy shifts inside my underwear with each step. The loose vibrations tickle as they lightly touch my clit instead of pressing into it, and the rigid, firm toy bumps against me when I walk up and down stairs. Not necessarily painful, but it pulls my attention away from the stimulation in a way the better-fitting panty vibes don’t.

If comfort matters, the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are some of my most comfortable panty vibrators. Each is form-fitting and magnetically secured.

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 OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH is a quiet panty vibrator. But better panty vibrators like the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are just as discreet, and better overall.

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

For our closed-bedroom-door test, my partner stands directly outside the bedroom 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 it instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Club Vibe at all from the other side of the door.

But it’s not hard to find a panty vibrator at this same level of discretion. The VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are similarly quiet and better in other important areas.

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.

During our testing, the OhMiBod Club Vibe lasted 40 minutes continuously running on its only power level – short of an hour, and the lowest of any panty vibrator I have tested. The runtime is a hard ceiling too: with only one power level, there are no lower settings to fall back on to stretch the battery the way you can with most panty vibrators.

If runtime matters to you, the Lovense Ferri lasted 168 minutes at max power in our test – more than four times longer than the OhMiBod Club Vibe – and is about $20 cheaper.

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 OhMiBod Club Vibe is easy to clean. It’s rated IPX7 waterproof, so I can rinse it under a faucet or submerge it without worrying about water damage.

One oddity worth mentioning is that OhMiBod’s own product listings discuss the Club Vibe as “splash-proof” rather than waterproof. When I reached out to OhMiBod about the discrepancy, they confirmed in writing that the toy is genuinely IPX7-rated and fully waterproof – but they label it splash-proof on their site as a precaution because they say the pin charger might wear over time with repeated use.

Because of the odd situation, we did a quick check on this product ourselves (not as rigorous as the official standardized IPX7 testing). We filled our bathroom sink with water and submerged this product for 20 minutes. It has continued to work fine. And to get an IPX7 rating (which this toy has), it has to undergo standardized immersion testing in a meter deep of water for 30 minutes without allowing harmful water damage. Because of our own quick check and the fact this toy has an IPX7 rating, we personally feel comfortable submerging it, but you can decide for yourself what you’re comfortable with.

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.

The Club Vibe’s build feels cheaper than its price suggests. The back of the toy hard plastic, but even the front’s silicone is thin and feels plastic-y, without the plushness or give of many panty vibrators. Both the toy and the remote have a lightweight, somewhat hollow feel to them. The on-toy button is squishy and lacks a satisfying click, but the remote’s silicone buttons are crisp and feel nice.

That said, nothing has rattled or broken in our testing, and the Club Vibe has held up reliably so far. But other panty vibrators in this price range, like the Lovense Ferri, feel sturdier and better-made.
