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 Foxy’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The OhMiBod Foxy’s clit stimulation is just decent – strong on paper, but its straight, fairly heavy body doesn’t deliver that power to your clit well. The motor is strong, the rumbliness is average, and the stimulation area slips out of position too easily for steady contact. I can’t orgasm with it hands-free, like I can with the Lovense Ferri.

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 OhMiBod Foxy’s clit motor reaches a strong top power of 8.5 out of 10 with only a few panty vibes, like the Lovense Ferri and the NS Novelties Techno Lucy, hitting higher top powers. But the Foxy’s design doesn’t transfer that strength to your clit as well as other panty vibrators.

Across its seven power levels, the Foxy spans a wide range – a gentle 1 out of 10 at the bottom rising gradually to that strong 8.5 top. So its vibrations cover good warmup levels, moderate settings, and strong levels for the finish.

But the vibrations only transfer well to your clit when you situate it just right. The toy is straight, fairly heavy, and has a large rounded bumpout near the clit end. So it tends to pull down in my underwear or roll off slightly to the side, so the bumpout (the part in contact with your clit) slips off the ideal spot. Though it stays near or partially in contact with my clit. For me, it’s most consistent when I’m sitting up in bed and not moving around much.

But the lack of the more direct, consistent clit contact means it doesn’t feel quite strong enough to me, and I can’t orgasm with it hands-free like I can with the Lovense Ferri or VeDO Niki.

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 most people prefer them. But plenty of people enjoy buzzy vibes too, so this is up to your personal preference.

The Foxy isn’t particularly rumbly. Like almost all panty vibrators I’ve tested, it’s centered in the moderately buzzy frequency range – the Lovense Ferri sits in the same place, so neither is rumbly.

Its lowest power level is moderately rumbly at 66 Hz, but that’s the warmup setting – too gentle for the rumbliness to come through in any meaningful way. From there, frequency climbs as power does: the Foxy is moderately buzzy through the middle of its range at around 99 Hz, and extremely buzzy at 122 Hz on its top setting. And because the Foxy’s transfer is inconsistent, you’ll likely spend most of your time on the upper, buzzy settings to feel enough power.

If rumbly vibrations are what you want from a panty vibe, the VeDO Niki is the only panty vibrator I’ve tested with a deep, rumbly motor.

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.

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.

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

The OhMiBod app is pretty good, sitting a tier below Lovense and Satisfyer, but much better than We-Vibe.

Its connectivity is excellent – nearby Bluetooth and long-distance modes hold a solid connection on par with Lovense’s. But the features themselves are clunky and don’t provide as much customization as the better apps.

The Lovense Ferri is a better panty vibrator if you want the best app.

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.

The OhMiBod Remote app’s close-range features are usable but unintuitive. The basics all work, but they’re poorly labeled, split across more screens than they need to be, and don’t have the polish of Lovense’s or Satisfyer’s apps. The Lovense Ferri is better if you want the best app.

The biggest drawback is constant intensity control – the thing people often use the most. Setting a steady vibration is spread across three different screens, each with its own quirks:

Rhythm Screen is the preset-pattern selector, and constant power is buried in there as one of the patterns. You’d never find it on your own – it’s listed last, and oddly named “Ludicrous.” Once you do find it, you adjust intensity using your phone’s volume buttons rather than an on-screen control. The lowest volume positions don’t vibrate at all, and the volume bar disappears off screen after a moment, so a partner controlling my toy can’t easily glance over to see what they’ve set the power to.

Tap Screen provides a button that sends a constant pulse for as long as you hold it. To use it as a steady setting, you have to hold the button down for a long stretch, then let go and live with the small pause baked into the resulting loop. There’s an intensity slider labeled with a turtle-and-hare icon, which makes it look like it controls speed – but it controls power. (And a quirk: power resets to full every time you start a new tap, so if you wanted to tap a gentle pattern you can’t – you have to tap it out at full power and drop the intensity afterward.)

Touch Screen gives you a grid with an on-screen dot you drag around to control the vibrations. Dragging left or right adjusts intensity; dragging up or down adjusts speed. It’s not a true constant vibration – it’s a wobble that smooths into something close to steady on the fast-speed end. There’s no axis labeling the grid, just the same turtle-and-hare icon, so you have to figure out which axis does which by experimenting.

All three reach a working result, and once you’ve spent enough time with the app you can pick the one that matches what you want. But the better apps just give you a simple intuitive screen for controlling the power.

The other preset patterns include 6 options – with names like “The Moon” and “Club,” which tell you nothing about what they feel like. There are no waveform previews the way Lovense and Satisfyer show you, so the only way to learn the patterns is to try them all and remember which is which. Intensity is again adjusted with your phone’s volume buttons.

Pattern creation is limited to the Tap Screen – you tap out a rhythm and the app loops it back. There’s no waveform-drawing the way Lovense’s loop creation or Satisfyer’s Live Control let you, so anything that isn’t a series of pulses can’t be built here – no gradual ramps or smooth waves. You can save a tapped pattern to a Favorites list and pull it up again later.

You can connect and control multiple OhMiBod toys at the same time, but the toys aren’t independent – they vibrate in sync. So you can’t play the toys at different intensities or patterns.

OhMiBod’s sound-reactive mode, called Club Vibe, is strong. The toy reacts to ambient sound through the phone’s mic, with two adjustable sliders: one for sensitivity (how loud a sound has to be before the toy responds). And one for intensity (how strong the vibrations get when it does respond). It works as intended with a small caveat: at the very lowest intensity, the toy makes a high-pitched hissing noise without producing real vibrations. I can skip over this in other modes, but I can’t really control it in Club Vibe since it’s noise-responsive.

You can also sync to music through your Spotify account with the Music Vibes mode. It’s fine, but doesn’t follow the music that closely.

There’s a couple other features that don’t feel that helpful like Pulse mode that pairs the toy with an Apple Watch’s heart-rate monitor and an Oh!Dometer that just let’s you log your orgasms.

Everything works, it’s just clunky. For a better experience, consider the Lovense Ferri.

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 OhMiBod app’s long-distance features are okay, but they take some learning. OhMiBod sits a step below Lovense and Satisfyer here – the basics work, but the features are limited compared to those apps.

Your long-distance partner uses the same Rhythm, Tap, and Touch control screens you’d use for close-range play, with all the same workarounds and quirks discussed in the previous section.

The OhMiBod app does have one nice bonus over Lovense during long-distance play: during a video call, both partners share an on-screen intensity slider for your toy, which means you can also adjust your own toy’s power instead of relying only on your partner, which is rare in an app.

The trade-off is that your partner can immediately undo whatever you just set, since the app has no built-in handoff mode. And between two people controlling intensity, there’s not much clarity for the controlling partner on where power is at.

The video call experience itself is great. Starting a call is easy – your partner sends a request, you get a clear notification and accept. The video quality is good on decent internet, the toy controls sit in a small panel at the bottom of the screen that doesn’t crowd the view of your partner, and locking your phone or backgrounding the app doesn’t drop the call.

Controlling while messaging is rougher. Chat threads are easy to follow and you can send photos – but not video clips or voice notes. There are no privacy features for shared media (like preventing screenshots), and you can only send a message while you’re actively controlling your partner’s toy. You can’t send a flirty message for them to see when they hop on the app.

The controls split awkwardly during chat sessions, too: the controlling partner selects the pattern but the wearer adjusts intensity via their phone’s volume buttons, leaving them with no on-screen indication of what intensity the toy is at.

Only one partner can connect a toy. If you both have OhMiBod toys, you cannot each control the other person’s toy like you can in Lovense’s or Satisfyer’s apps.

If long-distance partnered play is the main reason you’re shopping for a panty vibrator, the Lovense Ferri is a better choice, but OhMiBod’s app is decent for occasional long-distance play.

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 OhMiBod Remote app’s connectivity is excellent – reliable in both nearby Bluetooth and long-distance modes.

For nearby play, the Foxy auto-connects fast. There’s no toy-selection screen in the app. Just turn the toy on, open the app, and your phone pairs to it automatically. The one tradeoff: if you and a partner are both trying to use OhMiBod toys in the same room, the lack of a selection screen can cause mix-ups about which phone connects to which toy. For most people that won’t come up, and the auto-connect just feels seamless.

Once connected, the Foxy’s connection holds through normal phone behavior like locking the phone, backgrounding the app, and swiping through other apps. Commands reliably go through. And on the rare occasion the signal does drop (like you walk too far away), the app reconnects automatically as soon as the signal is clear again. There’s one small caveat: if a “Play Remotely” prompt pops up while the toy is out of range, don’t tap it – that breaks the auto-reconnection. If you tap it by accident, closing and reopening the app reliably fixes things.

The Foxy is also stable through body interference: when a partner controls the toy from across the room at an angle with you between their phone and the toy, water-rich body tissue dampens Bluetooth signals. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively harder positions (and is harsher than real use), and the Foxy holds a stable connection at all three, including the most severe angle.

We also tested Bluetooth range by separating the phone from the Foxy until the connection dropped. It stayed connected until about 340 feet in our test (your own results may vary depending on obstructions – we test with a clear line of sight).

Long-distance connectivity is also excellent. As long as both partners’ internet or cell signal is decent, the long-distance session stays live. The OhMiBod app handles the messy parts of real-life phone behavior gracefully – locking your phone, briefly switching to another app, or swapping between Wi-Fi and cell data don’t drop the session, even during a long distance call. Commands keep going through reliably.

The one downside is that starting a long-distance video call has a bug, but it’s easy to work around. The flow asks the receiving partner to tap accept twice – first to allow toy control, then to accept the video call itself – and if they tap both prompts too quickly, the video call fails to start. Waiting a couple of seconds between the two taps works reliably, but it’s the kind of thing your partner has to remember each time. Long-distance messaging sessions without video don’t have this issue.

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 OhMiBod Foxy 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 wearable vibrators (wearables only).

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.

Like most panty vibrators, the Foxy’s on-toy controls are limited by design – the toy sits inside your underwear during use, so you’ll typically rely on the app.

A single button cycles through three steady power levels and two vibration patterns. The full seven-level power range only lives in the app. The trimmed-down three levels available from the button is actually a helpful choice for rare occasions you use the on-toy button (like if you want to use it like a handheld toy). It keeps you from clicking through a long string of settings to find the intensity you want. The two patterns mixed into the loop is something most people don’t want, but with only five settings, it’s still quick to tap through.

The button is well-placed: easy to feel without looking, and sits away from the plush bumpout. So while pressing it while wearing does push the toy against your vulva, the pressure is distributed more broadly and closer to the vagina, so it stays comfortable.

The on-toy button works fine as a backup, but the app is the main way you’ll use the Foxy.

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 Foxy stays securely in place in bed, while walking around it just requires readjusting at times, but it shifts a lot more during heavy movement like running or jumping.

The strong, large magnet holds clipped to my underwear – I don’t ever feel like it’s going to fall off. It locks enough of the body to your underwear that the toy doesn’t swivel too much side-to-side either.

In bed, the Foxy stays where the magnet is secured. The toy jostles a bit with the underwear as I shift, but the bumpout keeps good clitoral contact in bed where you’re not moving around much.

The Foxy moves around a bit more when you’re walking causing the bumpout to move off the ideal spot on my clit. The bumpout is pretty large, so it’s always maintaining contact somewhere fairly near my clit, but I have to adjust to keep it in a great spot.

Heavy activity is where the toy’s weight really starts working against it. The magnet itself doesn’t slip, but the toy is heavy enough to pull the underwear down a bit during bigger movements like jumping, running, or dancing, and the bump shifts around. The long, straight design doesn’t contour to the body for consistent, close contact.

Curved panty vibrators like the VeDO Niki(remote-controlled) and NS Novelties Techno Lucy(app-controlled) stay in better clit contact while moving.

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 Foxy is comfortable in bed, but the bumpout takes some getting used to when walking.

The Foxy’s bump is one of the more comfortable nub-style designs I’ve tested because it’s plush. The body itself isn’t really flexible, but the bumpout has nice cushioning, and a bit wider than most. So the pressure spreads out more evenly rather than concentrating into one spot, and the plushness helps it feel comfortable against my body – much better than the OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH’s firm nub.

When I’m walking, it shifts, and the amount of pressure it applies against my clit varies – sometimes a gentle press, sometimes firmer, which some people may find uncomfortable. If you prefer a more blanketed, consistent feel against your clit, a broader panty vibrator like the NS Novelties Techno Lucy or the VeDO Niki is a more comfortable pick.

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 Foxy has quiet decibel readings, but it did worse than many wearables I’ve tested in our Background Noise Masking subtest.

Decibel readings on both low and high power were extremely quiet. The ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and our Sound Level Meter measured the Foxy at just 37.6 dBA on high – quieter than many vibrators, but decibel levels are only a part of the story.

For 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 (56, 62, and 68 dBA). At our quietest audio (56 dBA of pink noise), my partner could hear the Foxy at every vibration power

When wearing it, the lowest power had a distinct grating quality, that made it more noticeable. When I was sitting still, my partner couldn’t hear the middle power, but as I walked around, an occasional rattling sound came through. The high power was actually the cleanest of the three – just a hum that almost blended into background noise. Once we stepped the pink noise up to our moderate level (62 dBA) every vibration power was masked.

For our closed-bedroom-door test, my partner stands directly outside the bedroom while I use the toy in bed. He couldn’t hear the Foxy at all from the other side of the door on any power level.

Other panty vibrators were quieter including the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy

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.

The Foxy lasted 55 minutes at its highest power during our testing – short for a panty vibrator in this price range. Since you’ll use the Foxy’s lower and middle settings too, your actual runtime will be longer. But for long sessions, the Lovense Ferri is a better panty vibrator – it lasted 168 minutes in our test, about three times the Foxy’s runtime.

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 Foxy is easy to clean. It’s IPX7 waterproof, so you can rinse it under a faucet or fully submerge it without worrying about water damage. OhMiBod doesn’t have the IPX rating listed on the Foxy’s product page, but we reached out by email and they confirmed it has an IPX7 rating.

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 Foxy feels well-built. The body is covered in smooth silicone with a small plush portion that feels luxurious.
