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 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.

Power vs Frequency Graph
How Strong Is Each Power? 

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.

Lovense Dolce Adjustability Range
The Dolce’s arm angles can be adjusted, but not the length.

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.

Lovense Dolce with Ferri and Lush 4
Using the Lovense Ferri (middle) and Lush 4 (right) together makes the positioning a little better, but it’s more expensive to purchase both.

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


Clit Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)


Rumbliness Rating 7.4 N/A
Power vs Frequency Graph
Frequency on Low Power 49.1 Hz N/A
Median Frequency 86.7 Hz N/A
Frequency on High Power 116.0 Hz N/A
Rumbliness & Power Balance 7.5 N/A
Beat Sensation 8.5 N/A

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 clit arm is more rumbly than the Ferri’s. (click on the Dolce’s G-spot motor to remove it from the graph and isolate to clit arms only)

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 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.

Power vs Frequency Graph
How Strong Is Each Power? 

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.

Internal Arm Comparison of Lovense Dolce with Lovense Lush 4 and Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulat-Her
Internal arm comparison of the Dolce (left), Lush 4 (middle) and Fantasy For Her Stimulate-Her (right).

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 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).

Side View of We-Vibe Jive 2 and We-Vibe Jive Lite
The more bulbous profile of the Jive 2 (left) is more stimulating than the Jive Lite (right) which does not have that pronounced, front-wall bump.

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.


G-spot Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)


Rumbliness Rating 8.1 8.4
Power vs Frequency Graph
Frequency on Low Power 24.3 Hz 28.0 Hz
Median Frequency 81.8 Hz 73.8 Hz
Frequency on High Power 106.1 Hz 103.2 Hz
Rumbliness & Power Balance 8.4 8.7
Beat Sensation 8.5 7.0

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 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.

The “tapping” or “beat” sensation is especially audible on the first 3-4 settings

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.

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.

Some of the issues encountered in the We-Vibe app. While these won’t all happen every time, the unreliability is frustrating. The Jive 2 has a remote as a backup, which is helpful since the app is not something you can count on.

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.

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.

Lovense Dolce Remote Screen
The Remote screen and control options in the Lovense app.

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.

Lovense Dolce Saved Patterns
Preset patterns and any patterns you save are stored to your library.

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.

Lovense Lush Sound Mode Minimum Decibel
Sound Control allows you to set a minimum decibel for your Lovense toy to vibrate.

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.

Lovense Maximum Strength Two Motor Toys
You can adjust the maximum strength for both of your toy’s motors in the app.

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

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.

We-Vibe Jive 2 Single Vibe in App
Single Vibe mode.

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.

We-Vibe Jive 2 Multi Vibe in App
Multi Vibe mode.

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.

We-Vibe Single Motor Pattern Creation in App
Pattern Creation is very clunky in the We-Vibe app.

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.

We-Vibe Sound Mode
Sound Mode in the We-Vibe app.

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.

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.

Lovense Dolce Partner Controls During Video Call
Your partner’s controls during a video call.

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 Partner Settings
You have lots of options to adjust each partner’s settings.

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 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.

We-Vibe Video Call Partner Controls
Your partner’s control options and view during a video call.

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.

We-Vibe Chat Options in App
Your chat options in Long Distance Mode.

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 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.

Lovense Add Toy
Click the “+” icon in the upper right corner to add a new toy for the first time. After this, turning the toy on will automatically pair the toy and app.

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.

Lovense Dolce Reconnecting Message
You are alerted with a “reconnecting” message if your toy loses connection.

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 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.

We-Vibe Reconnection Prompts
The We-Vibe app walks you through steps to pair your toy if command is broken.

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 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:

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.

Wearables Remotes Size Comparison
Remote Control size differences can vary. The We-Vibe Moxie+’s is 5th from the left, and is a nice size to fit into the hand or pocket.

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 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.

Adjust Button Preset Powers in Lovense App
You can adjust the strength of the buttons’ 3 settings through the app.

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 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.

We-Vibe Jive 2 and VeDO Kiwi Button Placement
The button is on the Jive 2’s antenna (left). If worn with clothing, this still requires reaching into your clothes. But it’s better than options with an on-egg button, like the VeDO Kiwi (right). You can only access this button when you’re not wearing the toy.

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 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 adjustability of the Lovense Dolce.

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.

Wearing the Lovense Ferri (middle) and Lush 4 (right) simultaneously may give you a better fit than the Dolce (left).

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.

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.


Comfort


Comfort Rating 5.5 7.1
In Bed 7.0 7.4
Light Activity 4.0 6.8

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.

Lovense Dolce and Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her
For those who value comfort: the Fantasy For Her’s (right) flexibility and slimmer internal arm are more comfortable than the thicker and more rigid Dolce (left).

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

Side View of We-Vibe Jive 2 and Lovense Lush Mini
The We-Vibe Jive 2 (left) is larger than the Lovense Lush Mini (right). If you’re like me and prefer slimmer eggs, you may find the Lush Mini more comfortable to wear – especially over longer periods.

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.

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.

The Lelo Ida Wave is a quieter dual-stimulation option.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
