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 We-Vibe Jive 2 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 Jive 2’s G-spot power, range, transfer effectiveness, and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion: the Jive 2 is one of the strongest, most rumbly G-spot egg vibrators we’ve tested. Vibration transfer is outstanding – tied with the Lovense Lush 2, Lush 3, and Lush 4 for the most effective of any egg vibrator we’ve tested. The power range is wide, and rumbliness is second only to the VeDO Kiwi – a more more affordable alt with a worse remote and less G-spot pressure.

The We-Vibe Jive 2 has excellent vibration power, includes a gentle start, and its shape transfers the vibes to my G-spot effectively.

Its among the strongest egg vibrators we’ve tested, reaching a 9.0 out of 10 top power when controlled from the remote or on-toy button. It’s stronger than the Jive Lite and the original Jive. Only a small handful of egg vibrators (like the Lovense Lush family) reach a higher top power. The 15 power levels accessible from the remote span a wide range, starting gentle enough for warmup and climbing in gradual increments to the strong end.

One frustrating quirk is that the app has a bug where you can’t reach the toy’s actual top setting from the app – you only have the full power range from the remote. The top strength in the app is 84% of the motor’s true strength.

The vibration transfer to my G-spot is excellent, tied with the Lovense Lush 2, Lush 3, and Lush 4 for the most effective of any egg vibrator we’ve tested (We-Vibe re-designed the shape to match the Lush line more closely).

The contoured, bulbous shape applies good pressure to the G-spot and holds the motor in firm contact with the front wall, so strength isn’t lost between the motor and your body. And the rumbliness helps the vibrations travel even more effectively for a very stimulating feel.

The We-Vibe Jive 2 has great rumbliness.

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.

I’ve found that above 120 Hz, even a strong motor’s power tends to dissipate without feeling as impactful on my G-spot. Below that, the motor’s strength translates well to what you actually feel – and the Jive 2 stays under that 120 Hz across its entire range, even at the top setting.

The lowest setting is extremely rumbly at 28 Hz, which makes for a deep, gentle warmup. And the middle of the range is still moderately rumbly. Like almost all vibrators, the frequency rises as power climbs, and on the top setting the Jive 2 reaches 103 Hz, which is moderately buzzy, but still well under that 120 Hz rough threshold. So even at the top buzzy setting, the strong stimulation feels impactful.

The Jive 2’s vibrations also carry a beat-like sensation – a low-frequency “tapping” layered on top of the main vibration frequency, making the overall feeling even more rumbly. It’s most prominent on the lower-to-middle settings and disappears as the vibration wave becomes cleaner on the top settings. But it makes those settings with the “beat” really enjoyable.

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 We-Vibe app’s close-range features, long-distance features, and connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: The We-Vibe app is buggy and bad. It’s way behind Lovense’s app (the best app-controlled brand).

In close-range there’s ongoing bugs that affect several products, including the Jive 2. The controls often freeze and the app caps the intensity to about 84% of the Jive 2’s true top strength, among other issues. Long-distance control has a bug that often blocks you from connecting at all.

If app control matters to you, go with the Lovense Lush 4 (if you like a fuller-feeling egg) or Lovense Lush Mini (if you like a slimmer egg for better comfort). The Lovense app is the best with outstanding features and connectivity.

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 We-Vibe app’s close-range features are weak because the app is so buggy. If it worked properly, it would be a decent option for simple intensity control and preset patterns. But the current experience is frustrating.

The main controls are Single Vibe and Multi Vibe. Both let you drag an on-screen dot up or down to adjust intensity. Multi Vibe also lets you assign preset patterns to four corners, so you can quickly switch between steady vibration and a few favorite patterns without digging through menus. The design is simple and convenient in theory.

But several newer We-Vibe toys, including the Jive 2, have bugs on these screens. Even when the app shows 100% power, the Jive 2 only reaches about 84% of the strength that you’d get from the remote or on-toy button. The strongest app setting still feels good, but you need the remote for the toy’s true top power. The control dot also sometimes freezes or stops responding.

There are 10 preset patterns you can choose from in Single or Multi Vibe mode, each with a name and waveform icon. Some are easy to understand, like Pulse and Wave, while others are less clear. There’s also a Playlist feature for stringing patterns together, but you can’t feel what you’re building as you make it, so it’s mostly guesswork.

Custom pattern creation is poor. It’s hidden several taps away, and you can’t feel the pattern while drawing it. You have to draw the waveform, save and name it, return to the control screen, select it, and only then test how it feels. The patterns are also limited by your screen width, so they come out short and choppy. My partner’s pattern played, but mine crashed the app on all four attempts.

The sound and music modes are okay. Sound Mode uses your phone’s mic, while Music Mode syncs to songs saved locally on your phone – not Spotify or Apple Music. Both work, but the controls are poorly labeled, and there’s no minimum-volume threshold like Lovense offers, which is helpful in preventing your toy from vibrating until the sounds around you are loud enough.

For close-range play, I’d use the Jive 2’s remote instead of the app. If you want an egg vibrator with excellent app control, the Lovense Lush 4 or Lush Mini are better choices.

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 We-Vibe app’s long-distance features are too buggy to recommend. The design is decent in theory, but persistent connection and control issues make long-distance play unreliable. If long-distance control matters, the Lovense Lush 4 or Lush Mini are much better choices.

Long-distance control is supposed to work like close-range control. Your partner gets the same Single Vibe, Multi Vibe, and Touch screens to control your Jive 2, and you can control their toy the same way. You can also take back control of your own toy mid-session without ending the call, which is a useful feature.

But the same close-range bugs carry over. Your partner still can’t reach the Jive 2’s full power from the app, and the control dot sometimes freezes or stops responding.

Long-distance has extra bugs. Most importantly, both partners often show as “offline” even when you’re both in the app, which can prevent you from starting a session at all.

Even when it does connect, starting a video call is clunky. You have to send and accept four separate requests: the call, camera access, control of your toy, and control of theirs. The video feed is blurry and choppy compared to Lovense.

Chat works as a basic messenger, with text, photos, voice notes, and video clips. We-Vibe does let you save multiple partners, but it doesn’t offer Lovense’s anonymous one-time control links or auto-accept settings for trusted partners.

For long-distance play, the Lovense Lush 4 or Lush Mini are far better egg vibrators – and they cost less.

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 We-Vibe app’s connectivity with the Jive 2 is poor in close range and broken in long distance. The issue isn’t the Bluetooth signal – it’s the app.

The Jive 2’s Bluetooth hardware is fine. It has excellent range and handles body interference well. But the app causes unreliable reconnection, missed commands, and long-distance bugs that make it unusable. If app control is a priority, the Lovense Lush 4 or Lush Mini are much more reliable.

Initial pairing is simple. Once you add the Jive 2 to the app, it usually reconnects in two taps with no on-toy action needed. This works fine if you use one phone and only have one or two We-Vibe toys.

The problems start if you switch between several We-Vibe toys or connect the same toy to multiple phones. Then quick-connect can fail, and the fix often requires deleting the toy from the app, forgetting it in your phone’s Bluetooth settings, and pairing it again.

Reconnection during play is inconsistent. If the signal drops and returns within 10-20 seconds, the app usually reconnects automatically. But during that gap, the app may still look connected, so your partner can be “controlling” the toy while nothing is actually happening. If you’re out of range longer, you may need to reconnect manually, sometimes by holding the on-toy button – awkward if you’re wearing it.

Even when the connection holds, commands often miss. On the Single Vibe and Multi Vibe screens, the toy may not respond when you drag the control dot, or it may freeze up completely. These misses are intermittent, but frequent enough that I don’t trust the app.

The Jive 2 holds up to body interference well. Our test simulates nearby partner control where your body sits at three increasingly difficult angles, between the phone and toy. Many wearables lose connection at the hardest angle because water-rich body tissue weakens Bluetooth more than walls or clothes. The Jive 2 stayed connected through all three. Its open-air range was also excellent at 275 feet.

Long-distance play is more problematic than the close range issues. Both partners often show as “offline” even when they’re in the app, preventing sessions from starting at all. When sessions do connect, control commands often stop affecting the toys. Both bugs happen regularly, and there’s no reliable fix.

For dependable app connectivity in close-range or long-distance play, the Lovense Lush 4 or Lush Mini are better choices.

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 Jive 2’s remote features and connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: the Jive 2’s remote is excellent – it has all the controls you need paired with outstanding connectivity. Use the remote over the app to control the Jive 2.

The Jive 2’s remote features are great.

One of the best aspects is that the power and pattern controls are separate. There’s dedicated + and − buttons to move forward and backward through 15 power levels. And pressing and holding either button helps you reach a higher or lower setting faster.

There’s forward and backward buttons to move through the 6 vibration patterns. So I never have to cycle past patterns to reach a power level or vice versa – many remotes put power and patterns on the same loop. And you can raise and lower the intensity of each pattern.

The remote itself is comfortable to hold. It’s small and silicone-coated sitting naturally in my hand. And the buttons are raised enough that I can feel which is which without looking – this kind of eyes-free operation can be a practical advantage of a remote over an app.

Like most remotes, the Jive 2’s remote just blinks when a button is pressed – there’s no way for the partner holding it to tell what setting your toy is on. It’s not a huge deal, especially if you’re often the one controlling your own toy. But for a controlling partner, it can feel less engaging than an app’s visual feedback.

The Jive 2’s remote connectivity is outstanding. Body interference doesn’t faze the remote’s signal.

When a partner is controlling a wearable, your body sits in the path between the remote and the toy – and water-rich body tissue weakens Bluetooth and RF signals. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively challenging angles.

With the Jive 2, the remote holds a stable connection through all three. Because our test runs harsher than typical real-world conditions, partner-controlled play with the remote should stay reliable in practice.

Button presses register instantly – the toy reacts the moment my finger leaves the button, keeping the rhythm of play intact. There’s effectively no reconnection routine either: a quick press of any button wakes the remote when it’s been idle. If you go out of range, it reconnects automatically when you come back into range.

The remote also reached about 125 feet in our open-air range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. That’s longer than most wearable remotes I’ve tested. While real-world range will be shorter once objects and body interference come in, there’s plenty of margin.

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 wearable vibrators, the Jive 2’s on-toy controls are limited. Once the toy is in use, you’ll typically reach for the remote rather than the on-toy button unless you’re using it like a handheld vibe on your clit.

A single button cycles through 4 power levels and 6 vibration patterns on the same loop, with no way to step backward. To drop back to a lower power you have to click past every remaining pattern to get there. With 4 power levels covering the full range, the cycle is at least short enough for occasional use.

The button placement is good, sitting at the end of the antenna, so unlike eggs whose button is on the egg portion itself, you don’t have to remove the Jive 2 to press it if needed.

The raised texture is easy to find by feel, the subtle click confirms each press, and the newer We-Vibe button design is broader and more comfortable than the older Jives – though it still takes a touch more effort to push than the Lovense eggs’ buttons.

The on-toy button works fine for starting and stopping the toy or occasional handheld use but the remote is the main way you’ll use the Jive 2.

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.

Like most egg vibrators, the Jive 2 fits exceptionally securely whether you’re in bed, walking around, or doing heavier activity. The secure fit is an advantage of egg vibrators over other kinds of wearable vibrators – once inserted, an egg’s bulbous shape tends to hold it easily in place without the need for any adjustable mechanism.

On adjustability, We-Vibe markets the Jive 2 as having an “adjustable tail” – a term they usually use for their products that have hinges (like the We-Vibe Chorus, Chorus Pro, and Sync 2) allowing you to change the shape to fit your body better and hold that customized position.

However, I’d consider it flexible, not adjustable. The antenna has some flex, which is really all it needs. But you can’t adjust the antenna’s angle/position permanently. I reached out to We-Vibe and they confirmed it’s just flexible.

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 Jive 2 is reasonably comfortable, but the wider, G-spot-targeted shape is more noticeable during light activity than slimmer eggs.

The egg portion is thicker than my most comfortable eggs like the Lovense Lush Mini and other small options. The Jive 2’s extra girth provides the firm front-wall contact and pressure that helps it feel more stimulating, but it also makes it a bit less comfortable.

It stretches a little going in and out, and once inserted gives a feeling of fullness that’s most noticeable when you’re moving or bending forward. For me, this means I have to wear it only for shorter periods because it presses on my bladder.

But everything else is comfortable – the angled antenna sits pretty flush against my body (not jostling around uncomfortably as flimsy antennas do). Though it’s angled antenna isn’t quite as comfy as fully curved antennas like the Lush Mini’s. The silicone is smooth all over, and there are no spots that pinch.

When walking around, the antenna applies more pressure against my clit than it does in bed, so I make occasional adjustments, which often helps.

If you prefer a more comfortable egg overall – especially if you’re sensitive to too much girth or internal pressure, try the Lovense Lush Mini. It’s smaller, so it’s more comfortable, without sacrificing any power.

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 Jive 2 is in the most-discreet group of wearable vibrators I’ve tested.

Decibel readings on low and high power were extremely quiet, too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to pick up on – the ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and the Jive 2 never measured higher than this.

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). He couldn’t hear the Jive 2 on any power level at any of the three volumes. But keep in mind, every wearable I’ve tested, including the Jive 2, is audible in a fully silent room with no pink noise playing – no matter how gentle and quiet the vibrations are.

For the closed-door subtest, my partner listens directly outside our bedroom door while I use the toy in bed. For this test, I use it like a handheld toy since wearing dampens sound and some people will want to use it clitorally; holding the toy instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Jive 2 at any power level. When I’m wearing it, I can barely hear it myself.

One thing worth knowing is that most egg vibrators I’ve tested are similarly discreet, including the Lovense Lush 4 and VeDO Kiwi. So for choosing an egg vibrator, other factors like stimulation, comfort, and remote or app experience are more important to consider.

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 We-Vibe Jive 2’s battery is outstanding. It lasted 165 minutes continuously running on its highest power during our test. The only eggs that run longer, like the Svakom Phoenix Neo 2 (258 minutes) and the Kiiroo Spot (195 minutes), are weaker than the Jive 2.

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 Jive 2 is easy to clean. It’s fully waterproof – rated IPX7, so you can rinse it under a running faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water without worry.

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 Jive 2 feels well-built. Its smooth silicone shell over a firm core feels solid in the hand, and the redesigned antenna is thicker, wider, more strongly angled inward, and noticeably less flimsy-feeling than on the original Jive and the Jive Lite. Nothing has rattled, loosened, or shown wear in our testing.
