Here’s the main conclusion: the Dolce has one of the strongest clit motors out of all my wearables, and it’s one of the few I can orgasm with hands-free from the clit stimulation alone.

The gradual settings from gentle to intense provide lots of warmup space, and, when both motors are running, they play off each other for an enjoyable, deeper thudding sensation.

The adjustability makes it more likely you’ll get good clit contact, though it’s still somewhat dependent on your anatomy for the perfect fit. But even if it’s not direct – the vibrations are strong enough that they travel.

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.

The Lovense Dolce has one of the strongest clit motors of any wearable I’ve tested, with a top power of 9.75 out of 10 – a touch stronger than even Lovense’s panty vibrator, the Lovense Ferri. It’s easily strong enough for me to orgasm hands-free from clit stimulation alone when the toy’s positioned well, and even when the fit sits a little off to the side, the vibrations are powerful enough that it’s still one of the most stimulating wearables for external vibes.

It also has one of the broadest power ranges you’ll find in a wearable – starting at a gentle 1 out of 10 strength with very gradual adjustability. That’s really useful since you likely wont be varying the toy’s position or pressure with your hand, if you’re sticking with wearing it for hands-free stimulation.

For me, both of the Dolce’s arms are a touch long, so the external arm sits near my clit, but not pressed totally against it. You can adjust the angle of the hinge point, but not the lengths of the arms. So whether the vibrations transfer well to you depends on the fit.

Thankfully, the vibrations are so strong that it stays very stimulating even without firm, direct contact. Especially when the two motors’ vibrations work together to create a sort of “thumping” feel.

If you want more guaranteed direct clitoral contact with your wearable, try the Lovense Ferri, a panty vibrator that you can position wherever you need it in your underwear and secure it with a strong magnetic clip. You can pair it with the Lovense Lush 4 to add in the G-spot vibes.

But if you’re not as concerned about a perfect fit, the Lovense Dolce is our strongest dual-stimulator.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. But it’s a personal preference.

The Dolce’s clit motor is more rumbly than most wearables. It starts extremely rumbly on its lowest setting (around 49 Hz), stays neutral through the middle, and only turns extremely buzzy at full power (around 116 Hz).

Vibrations always get buzzier as the power rises, and the Dolce provides a nice variety of frequencies. And if you’re running both motors at once, (especially one high and one low) you can achieve a low-frequency “beat” sensation from the two motors interacting with each other – that beat makes the vibrations feel deeper and more rumbly than their raw frequency alone suggests.

The Dolce’s external motor is actually more rumbly than the Lovense Ferri, so it’s a great pick for those who prefer deeper vibrations.

The Lelo Ida Wave is slightly more rumbly, but it’s not as strong overall. So if you prioritize a good balance of rumbliness and power, the Dolce is better.

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

Here’s the main conclusion: the Dolce has the most powerful G-spot motor I’ve tested in a dual-stimulation wearable. Its girthy, bulbous arm presses firmly into my front wall, so the strong vibrations transfer right to your G-spot where you want them.

The vibes feel rumbly on low and buzzy on high. But when you have both motors going together, it adds a thuddy sensation that feels deeper and more layered.

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 Lovense Dolce has the most stimulating G-spot arm of my dual-stimulation wearable vibrator. Its internal motor is strong, reaching about 9.4 out of 10 on high, and that power tranfers to my G-spot well: the bulbous arm presses firmly against the front wall, hands-free.

These strong vibes and pressure on my G-spot make my orgasms from the clit vibrations feel richer and fuller.

Like the clit motor, the G-spot arm has incremental adjustments through the app – much more control than budget options like the Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her provide. It starts gentle enough to warm up with, and gradually builds to the extreme top strength without large jumps. A wide range like this makes it easy to find power levels that work for you without getting overstimulated.

What makes the vibrations land so well is the internal arm’s shape. It’s a bit wider and thicker than even Lovense’s famous Lush eggs, so it applies firm pressure and creates a really full feel. The slim-armed Fantasy For Her actually reaches a hair higher on paper (about 9.75 out of 10), but its narrow arm doesn’t press as firmly, so the Dolce feels more stimulating.

The dedicated G-spot eggs still do one thing better: the Lovense Lush 4 and older models press a little more precisely into the ideal spot since you’re not trying to position two arms in a perfect place. So if targeted G-spot stimulation alone is all you’re after, an egg vibrator can be better. But the Dolce also provides the clit stimulation that many need to orgasm (which the Lush eggs lack).

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 Lovense Dolce has a good balance between rumbly and buzzy vibes. But it is my most rumbly powerful dual-stimulation toy. And when both motors run together, there’s an extra thuddy sensation layered in that makes the vibes feel even more rumbly.

Rumbliness matters more on the G-spot side than it does for the clit motor. On the clit side, you’re placing the vibe directly on a highly sensitive area, so whether the vibrations are deeper (rumbly) or more surface-level (buzzy), it feels very stimulating. But G-spot vibrations have to travel farther through tissue to reach more nerve-rich regions, and lower-frequency vibes do that better.

So it helps that the Dolce’s G-spot motor is on the more rumbly end compared to most wearables. The entire first half of it’s settings fall in the rumbly range, and it only turns extremely buzzy at the very top strength. But when you have the two motors going at the same time, it adds that low-frequency “beat” sensation that keeps the top level from turning into a thin surface-level buzz.

The Dolce has the best balance of rumbliness and power I’ve found in a dual-stimulation wearable.

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Lovense app is by far the best of any brand. It provides the most control, is easiest to use, and has the most reliable connectivity. If an outstanding app is your top priority, stick to a Lovense toy.

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).

The Lovense Dolce’s app has the best close-range features of any brand. It gives easy intuitive control over power or patterns.

On the main Remote screen, you drag the control dots up or down to adjust intensity of the vibrations.

Tap Float to hold a steady power, or Loop to draw a custom pattern that repeats. Since the toy reacts as you draw, you can feel the pattern in real time instead of creating it blindly and testing it later. If you like what you made, tap Record to save it to My Patterns.

Lovense provides separate control of each motor, so you can set them to different intensities. Or drag one dot on top of the other to control them together if you find that easier.

For presets, the My Patterns screen includes Lovense’s default patterns, anything you’ve saved, and patterns downloaded from Lovense’s active community library.

Lovense’s sound-reactive mode is also the best I’ve used. You can set a minimum decibel threshold, so the toy stays quiet until the sound around you is louder, and adjust sensitivity to control how much of the toy’s power range it uses. The live decibel readout makes it easy to calibrate. Many other apps either combine these controls or don’t offer a threshold at all.

The music-sync mode works with Spotify or local files and follows the music well enough to keep the vibrations varying without any effort on your end. You can cap the intensity to keep it in a comfortable range to you.

Lovense also includes a few useful extras: Voice Control, device-to-device control with certain Lovense toys, and per-toy max intensity settings. The intensity cap is helpful if you want to limit noise or prevent a partner from pushing the toy too high.

Overall, the Lovense app’s close-range features are excellent – and easily the best of any brand I’ve tested.

Lovense also has the best long-distance experience of any brand, by a wide margin.

During messaging or video calls, your partner gets the same excellent Remote screen used for close-range control. They can set a steady intensity with Float or draw a repeating pattern with Loop, so long-distance control doesn’t feel stripped down. The only small downside is that you can’t control your own toy during a video call – only your partner can.

The video call tools are excellent. Incoming calls are easy to notice and accept, and once you’re in a call, the video feed is clear. You can mute, toggle your camera, switch between front and back cameras, cast audio to a speaker, or end the call. The controls stay out of the way until you tap the screen, and you can move your self-view so it doesn’t block your partner.

The app also handles normal phone use well. You can lock your screen or switch to another app without disrupting the session.

Messaging is equally strong. The thread is easy to follow, and you can send voice notes, photos, and videos from your camera or camera roll. There’s also an optional “burn after reading” feature for one-time viewing that prevents screenshots, and it works as intended.

Lovense gives you helpful partner settings too. You can let a trusted partner auto-accept control requests – so they can take control of your toy by surprise. Or get a notification when they come online, or hide your online status from specific people. Each partner can have different settings.

Lovense also offers the broadest anonymous and group control options. You can send a one-time control link or create a group link for up to 10 people. When the time runs out, they lose access and can’t request control again.

If long-distance play is the main reason you’re buying a wearable vibrator, Lovense is the best choice.

The Dolce’s connectivity is excellent. Lovense has the most reliable app connection of any brand I’ve tested, both for nearby Bluetooth control and long-distance play.

Pairing is quick: The very first time you connect, simply tap Add Toy, turn the Dolce on, and it appears in the app within seconds. After that first setup, it auto-connects as soon as you turn it on with the app open.

Once paired, the Dolce stays connected through normal phone use, including locking your screen, switching apps, or leaving the app idle.

It also handles body interference very well. Water-rich materials (like body tissue) can weaken Bluetooth more than walls or clothing, which is why some egg vibrators work fine for solo control but drop connection when a partner controls them from certain angles. In our body-interference test, the Dolce stayed connected through all three positions, including the hardest one.

Bluetooth range was excellent too, reaching about 340 feet in our clear line-of-sight test. That’s one of the longest ranges we’ve measured for a wearable and far more than most people will need. Though walls and other interference will shorten real-world range.

If the Dolce does disconnect, the app reconnects automatically once the signal is clear. A red “Reconnecting…” message also tells the controlling partner that control has paused. You can choose whether the toy stops vibrating during a disconnect with Auto-Stop, or keeps vibrating at the last intensity level until it reconnects.

Long-distance connectivity is also excellent. The toy connects to your phone over Bluetooth, and your phone connects to your partner’s phone over Wi-Fi or cell data. Since the Bluetooth connection is strong, long-distance play works well as long as your internet connection is decent. Sessions stay stable, commands go through reliably, and locking your phone or switching apps doesn’t disrupt control.

One quirk: if you start a session on Wi-Fi and then switch to cell data, the first switch can drop control and require a quick re-invite. After that, switching works normally. To avoid this, start the session on cellular data – for some reason if you do that, you can switch freely between cell data and Wi-Fi without issue.

The Lovense Dolce 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 Lovense Dolce has some of the best on-toy controls of any wearable I’ve tested. While you’ll probably use the app most of the time, the on-toy controls are still helpful if you don’t want to hold something or when straightening the spine to use the Dolce like a handheld vibe.

A pair of +/- buttons on the external arm lets you step up or down through 3 power levels and 4 patterns. The two buttons are nice, because you can backtrack instead of having to cycle thorugh every setting on a loop. And the buttons are raised, so you can find them easily without having to look.

The buttons only give you three steady power levels; the full range lives in the app. But through the app, you can set those three preset levels to be whatever intensities you enjoy most – so they’ll be levels you’ll actually use.

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 Lovense Dolce has good adjustability, and is the most secure fit out of all my dual-stim wearables. It doesn’t budge whether using it in bed, walking around the house, or even during heavier activity like running or jumping.

The girthy internal arm keeps the toy fully inserted, and prevents it from swaying side to side. Many of my other dual-stim toys start to loosen and work themselves out of place with movement.

And it has the good adjustability too. Many other strong dual-stimulation wearables, like the Lelo Ida Wave and Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her – are simply flexible, and spring back. You can’t change their shape to fit your body better. But the Dolce has an adjustable spine you can shape to fit you better.

The Dolce holds at the angle you set it to. It even adjust a little side to side so you can nudge the external arm toward one side of your clit or the other. However, you can’t make either arm shorter or longer. It fits my anatomy okay, but you’re out of luck if you end up needing a longer clit arm, or shorter G-spot arm. So it’s still somewhat dependent on your personal anatomy.

If you are concerned about fit, a safer way to replicate a dual-stimulation toy is to pair the Lovense Lush Mini or Lush 4 for G-spot stimulation with the Lovense Ferri for clitoral stimulation. You can clip the Ferri in your underwear at the most stimulating position, so you’re not restricted to the set arm length of the Dolce.

Once the Dolce inserted, it’s actually difficult to adjust because of how firm the hinge is – a little annoying until you find the right fit, but convenient for the tight hold. This rigidity and girth works great for a secure fit, but it does cause some issues with comfort – primarily when walking around.

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 Lovense Dolce can be a bit uncomfortable, mainly when walking around. In bed, it can be comfortable in the right position and depending on your preferences for girth.

The same things that keep it securely in place are what affect comfort: the bulbous arm is most comfortable to those who don’t mind a stretch and a full feel. I prefer internal toys that are slimmer, so the Dolce is most comfortable to me when laying flat. If I try to bend forward, it starts to press painfully at my vaginal opening and against my bladder.

The adjustable, but somewhat rigid hinge also gets in the way once you’re not laying flat. There’s no squish to cushion your pubic bone, and when you’re walking, this can get pushed too hard against you. Especially if you’re wearing clothes that will force the clit arm firmly against your body.

None of this is unusual for a strong dual-stimulation wearable. They’re generally the bulkiest wearables there are. They’re really only designed for in-bed use, and most don’t even stay fully inserted unless you’re lying down.

If you’re sensitive to girth and pubic-bone pressure, the slimmer Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her may be more comfortable in bed – but you give up the Dolce’s stronger, stimulation and its app control. And if what you really want is a toy to wear comfortably while you’re up and moving around, combine the Lovense Ferri panty vibrator with the Lovense Lush 4. You can control them together in the same great Lovense app.

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.

Unfortunately, the Lovense Dolce is louder than most wearables I’ve tested, especially on its higher settings – a bit expected, since both its motors are powerful.

Decibel readings range from 43 dBA on low to about 57 dBA on high. On those higher settings the vibrations also take on a slight grating quality rather than the kind of clean, consistent hum of the Lovense Lush 4 that blends in with other background sounds more easily.

The Dolce did worse than many wearables in our Background Noise Masking subtest, where I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away and we play pink noise through a speaker at set volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). Its lowest strength was masked by the quietest background noise we played, but on the middle and high strengths we had to raise the audio to our moderate volume (62 dBA) before he could no longer hear it. Plenty of wearables – including the Lush 4 and Lelo Ida Wave – were fully masked by that quietest audio.

For the closed-door test, my partner listens directly outside our closed bedroom door while I use the Dolce like a handheld toy. Wearing dampens sound, and the Dolce works well handheld because you can straighten the spine and grip the clit arm like a handle, so holding it gives us the most conservative results. My partner couldn’t hear the low setting through the door, but the middle and high came through clearly. Turning a box fan to its lowest setting was enough to mask both.

If you want a more discreet dual-stimulation wearable without giving up much power, the Lelo Ida Wave stays fully masked at our quietest tested background level on every setting.

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 Lovense Dolce has a short battery life – in our test it ran 45 minutes with both arms vibrating at their highest power before dying: among the shortest of any wearable I’ve tested.

That 45-minute figure is a worst case, though. It’s measured at constant full power on both motors. Since you’ll likely spend plenty of time on lower settings, or with only one of the motors running strong, your real runtime will likely be longer. For a typical solo session in bed – where the Dolce is at its best – that’s usually enough, as long as you charge it beforehand.

If you want to go longer between charges, the Lelo Ida Wave lasted 135 minutes at full power in our test, though its stimulation isn’t as strong. Or pair the Lovense Lush 4 and Lovense Ferri which both have a run time of 2 or more hours on high.

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 Lovense Dolce is very easy to clean because it’s fully waterproof – rated IPX7. You can rinse it under a running faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water.

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 Lovense Dolce has excellent build quality. It’s covered in smooth, firm, body-safe silicone, and the central hinge feels strong and solid, with no loosening in the time I’ve owned it. I’ve had mine since 2021 when it was still called the Quake, and it still works like it did when I bought it.

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.
