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.

Like all egg vibrators, the VeDo Kiwi only stimulates your G-spot – not your clit. For clit stimulation, a panty vibrator is the better type of wearable for you. See all our recommendations for the best panty vibrators here.

An egg vibrator is a good option if:

1. You enjoy internal vibrations, G-spot pressure, or fullness on its own. (Many people need clit stimulation to orgasm, but internal stimulation can still feel good and be great foreplay.)
2. You plan to pair it with clit stimulation from something else.

I can’t orgasm even with our strongest G-spot vibrator alone, but when I pair it with clitoral stimulation, it makes my orgasms feel more full.

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 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.

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 VeDO Kiwi’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The VeDO Kiwi is very stimulating. It’s the most rumbly egg vibrator and very strong.

If you value power and more G-spot pressure, a few pricier eggs have a bit more strength and a shape that presses more into your G-spot, such as the Lovense Lush 4 (app-controlled) and We-Vibe Jive 2 (mostly remote-controlled). If you care more about rumbliness, the Kiwi is better.

The VeDO Kiwi is a very strong egg vibrator, reaching a top power of 8.0 out of 10. Its vibrations are also unusually deep and rumbly, so that strength feels rich, full, and impactful.

It has six power levels with a wide range, starting at a gentle 1.0 for warmup and building to its strong top setting.

The Kiwi doesn’t press as directly into my G-spot as contoured eggs like the Lovense Lush 4 or We-Vibe Jive 2. Its slimmer, cylindrical shape spreads the vibrations along more of the front wall instead of targeting one precise spot. But because the vibrations are so deep and rumbly, they still transfer well and feel very stimulating.

The Lush 4 and Jive 2 offer more targeted G-spot pressure, and are stronger overall. But the Kiwi has plenty of power for most people – especially at roughly half the price.

The VeDO Kiwi has the most rumbly vibrations of any wearable vibrator I’ve tested.

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.

The Kiwi’s vibrations remain rumbly throughout its full power range. Most of the settings are extremely rumbly. And even the top setting, where most egg vibrators cross into buzzy territory, including the pricier Lovense Lush 4 and We-Vibe Jive 2, measures 69.24 Hz, which is moderately rumbly. Vibrators always become buzzier as you turn them up, but the Kiwi never crosses into the buzzy range.

The deep rumbliness combined with the Kiwi’s strong power makes for impactful stimulation.

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 VeDo Kiwi 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 VeDO Kiwi’s remote features and connectivity.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Kiwi’s remote is great for solo use or same-room partnered control, with great intensity controls and a reliable connection, even through body interference. The only downside is its short connection range at about 16 ft.

If you need longer range with a physical remote for across-the-room play, consider the We-Vibe Jive 2. Or if you’re okay with an app instead, try the Lovense Lush 4. If you don’t need a longer range, the Kiwi’s remote is excellent.

The VeDO Kiwi’s remote features are great with a few minor downsides – most of which are typical of remotes compared to apps.

Power control is fast and direct – you can move forward and backward through the six power levels with dedicated + and – buttons.

Pattern navigation uses a single-button cycle loop – clicking through the ten patterns one at a time, with no way to go backward to a previous pattern. In practice this doesn’t matter that much, since most people stay on steady vibrations rather than cycling through patterns. You can also adjust the intensity of each pattern.

The remote is comfortable to hold, but the buttons are less raised than the best remotes. So I can’t easily tell which button is which by feel like I can with some, like the We-Vibe Jive 2‘s remote. That’s something you get used to as you use it more.

Like most remotes, the Kiwi’s gives your partner just a faint blink when you press a button – no way to tell what setting your toy is on or whether the vibrations actually changed. That’s fine if you’re using the Kiwi yourself and many partners won’t mind.

Others find it less engaging when they can’t tell what your toy is doing and what you’re actually feeling. App control gives your partner real-time visuals of the toy’s vibrations, which makes controlling it feel more engaging. If that’s a priority for you, try the Lovense Lush 4. Or Lush Mini if you prefer slimmer toys.

The VeDO Kiwi’s remote connectivity is excellent and reliable as long as your partner is close-by.

Body tissue between a remote and toy is typically the main thing that breaks a remote’s signal during partner control, but the Kiwi holds up well to this. Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Kiwi holds a stable connection through all of them. Our test runs harsher than typical real-world conditions, so partner-controlled play should stay reliable in practice.

Button presses register with barely any delay – the toy reacts the moment my finger leaves the button, keeping the rhythm of play intact. And theres no reconnection routine required when starting to play – the remote is always connected.

The remote reached 16 feet in our open-air range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference – which is the shortest range of my wearable vibrators. That’s still enough to comfortably cover typical nearby same-room partnered control or solo use. But across-the-room play is trickier.

If you want a longer remote range without switching to apps, the We-Vibe Jive 2 reached about 125 feet in the same test – roughly eight times the Kiwi’s range. And if you’re okay with app control instead, the Lovense Lush 4 reached 345 feet or can connect over the internet, so distance stops being a factor.

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 insertable eggs, the Kiwi’s on-toy controls are limited – but even moreso than most. Its single button is on the egg body itself, which means it’s inaccessible when wearing the toy. If you want to adjust it during wear, the remote is the only option. This also means you have to turn it on before inserting.

When you do use the on-toy button, it cycles through one steady vibration and nine patterns at a single fixed power level. To adjust the vibration power, you have to use the remote control.

That said, the button is more usable if you’re holding the Kiwi externally and using it like a bullet vibrator for clit stimulation. While the one-button cycling controls aren’t ideal, they’re good enough for occasional external use.

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 VeDO Kiwi has a great secure fit, staying put at any activity level.

That’s typical for an egg vibrator. Once the toy is fully inserted, your own anatomy holds it in place naturally. The kind of secure-fit problems more common with external wearables don’t really apply to eggs. Most of the eggs I’ve tested fit just as solidly across every activity tier.

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 VeDO Kiwi is very comfortable.

It’s cylindrical shape is slimmer than bulbous eggs like the Lovense Lush 4 and We-Vibe Jive 2, which makes it easy to insert and avoids the extra pressure against my bladder that those bulbous eggs can produce. I’m able to wear this one longer than wider eggs without becoming uncomfortable.

Lying in bed I can feel a faint tingle from the vibrations traveling into the pull-string, but I don’t find it distracting.

During light activity – walking around the house, going up and down stairs – I notice a little pressure at the inside of the vaginal entrance since this egg is a little taller than some, but nothing distracting. And the pull-string is hardly noticeable when held tight to my body by clothing.

If maximum comfort is a priority, the Lovense Lush Mini is even more comfortable because it’s shorter and the bulb sits a bit higher up in the vagina. But most people will be happy with the Kiwi’s comfort.

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 Kiwi is a very quiet egg vibrator.

Decibel readings on low power were too quiet for our sound level meter to pick up above the room’s 35 dBA ambient noise. On high, the Kiwi reached about 43 dBA – still quiet overall.

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

For the closed-door test, my partner stands directly outside our bedroom door while I use the Kiwi in bed. I hold it rather than wear it for this subtest, since wearing dampens sound and some people want the flexibility to use it clitorally – holding gives the most conservative results. My partner couldn’t hear it on low or medium power. On high, he could just barely make it out, and only when the house was completely silent – even light ambient sound, like cars passing outside, masked it.

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 Kiwi’s battery life is decent. It lasted 75 minutes running continuously at its highest power in our test, which is shorter than many higher-end G-spot eggs. Since most people won’t use the highest setting the entire time, real-use runtime will likely be longer.

If battery life is a priority, the Lovense Lush 4 lasted about 120 minutes in our test – roughly 60% longer than the Kiwi, but at about twice the price. The Svakom Phoenix Neo 2 lasted much longer at about 258 minutes, more than three times the Kiwi’s runtime, while staying in a similar price range, but it’s worse overall.

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.

Cleaning the Kiwi is simple in practice, but I rated it conservatively because I couldn’t confirm its exact waterproof rating. VeDO lists it as “splashproof,” which usually means IPX5 or IPX6 – safe to rinse under a faucet – but can also mean IPX4, which is not faucet-safe. I emailed VeDO to confirm the rating and didn’t hear back, so I scored it as if it should not be rinsed directly.

In real use, I do rinse most of the Kiwi under the faucet while keeping water away from the charging port. Lube and debris can collect at the pull-cord/charging port seam over time, so I periodically unscrew it and clean inside with a damp cloth.

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 Kiwi feels well-built overall, and I’ve had it since 2022. It has smooth, firm silicone with a small plastic ring where the pull cord attaches, which unscrews to reveal the charging port. The seam feels tight when closed, but lube and debris can still collect there, so it needs occasional detailed cleaning.

The pull cord is a slim, slightly stretchy loop that has held up well. The toy and remote buttons are easy to press with a clear click, and while the plastic remote feels very lightweight and cheap, it works reliably.
