In the next sections, I’ll cover the Ferri’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Ferri is the most stimulating panty vibrator we’ve tested, and one I orgasm with hands-free the easiest.

It’s the strongest panty vibe I’ve tested and transfers more of its motor’s power to your clit than any other. Like most panty vibrators, the vibrations are buzzy rather than rumbly. If rumbly stimulation matters more to you, go with the VeDO Niki. If power matters more, go with the Ferri.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Foxy’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

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

The Lovense Ferri reaches a top power of 9.35 out of 10 – the strongest of any panty vibrator we’ve tested, and it’s the one I orgasm with the easiest.

Other panty vibrators I recommend like the VeDO Niki and the NS Novelties Techno Lucy top out at 8.0 and 9.0. And the range available through the app is wide, from a very gentle 1.0 up to that 9.35, so there’s soft warmup levels and strong upper levels.

The Ferri also transfers that power to my clit better than any other panty vibrator I’ve tested. With a handheld toy you can position the toy where you want it and press harder for more intensity; but with wearables the toy’s shape and fit have to do all the work of delivering the motor’s strength to your body. The Ferri is one of the few panty vibrators that does an excellent job transferring vibrations to my clit. The slightly curved design hugs the body, and the short length prevents the toy from pivoting or getting knocked out of place with movement.

And the Ferri’s curve with a taller front also lets you apply more pressure when you want to without using your hands – something flat panty vibes can’t do. When you’re sitting, shifting your weight against the end opposite your clit tilts the toy and presses the clit-end more firmly into you, making the vibrations feel stronger. It’s the closest a hands-free wearable gets to the pressure control of a handheld.

The stimulation profile here is focused and precise rather than broad and blanketing. If you prefer broad stimulation that spreads the stimulation out, the VeDO Niki is also a good option, but not quite as strong.

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

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

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

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

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them, but it’s a preference and some people enjoy buzzy vibrations more (I like them personally).

Like most panty vibrators, the Lovense Ferri’s rumbliness is mediocre. The Ferri’s vibrations are moderately buzzy at medium strength, and extremely buzzy at the top of its range. Although its lowest settings are rumbly, most people will use them mainly while warming up. Vibrations always become buzzier as you increase power, and by the time you reach the upper levels that you’ll likely need to orgasm, the vibrations are entirely in the buzzy range.

This buzzier feel is typical of most panty vibrators, including the We-Vibe Moxie+, NS Novelties Techno Lucy, Romp Party and others. The small motors that fit inside a panty vibe tend to need to spin faster (be buzzier) to produce the power larger motors can at slower (more rumbly) speeds.

If rumbly vibrations are a strong preference for you, the VeDO Niki has much deeper-feeling vibrations. I personally enjoy both the buzzy feel of the Ferri’s vibrations and the rumbliness of the Niki’s.

We rate panty vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. But plenty of people enjoy buzzy vibes too, so this is up to your personal preference.

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

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

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

Like all panty vibrators, the Lovense Ferri 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 – that’s why I personally enjoy it more than the Lovense Lush 4 and Lush Mini. 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 Lovense Remote app’s close-range and long-distance features in depth, plus the Ferri’s connectivity in both modes.

Here’s the main conclusion: Lovense’s app is the best of any brand’s I’ve tested, by a wide margin.

I have many remote and app-controlled toys, and Lovense’s app provides the most control, is easiest to use, and has the most reliable connectivity.

If app control matters a lot to you in a panty vibrator, the Ferri is the best choice.

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

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

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

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

The Ferri’s app has the best close-range features of any panty vibrator I’ve tested.

From the main remote screen, you’ll control the Ferri by dragging its control dot up and down to adjust the power. Tap “Float” to keep the power constant or click “Loop” to quickly repeat a pattern you draw on-screen. This makes it easy to set your Ferri exactly to your preferred intensity or quickly create your own vibration patterns from the same screen.

The vibrations play as you draw, so you can feel whether you actually like the pattern – some apps make you draw a waveform blindly, save it, then play it back to feel what it does. Tapping “Record” also saves the pattern to “My Patterns” for re-use if you enjoyed it.

You can also connect and control multiple Lovense toys at once with each motor getting its own dot on the Remote screen. So if you have both a Lovense Lush 4 and a Ferri, you can control them together for simultaneous clit and G-spot stimulation (which I personally prefer over using the dual-stimulation Lovense Dolce). Or you can control your own toy and a nearby partner’s toy at once. We tested four toys simultaneously without issue.

For preset patterns, you can use the “My Patterns” screen which has four defaults to choose from, plus anything you’ve drawn and saved, and any patterns you’ve downloaded from Lovense’s community library. Lovense has an active community creating and sharing patterns to browse and download.

Sound-reactive control is also excellent and the most practical I’ve used in any app. You set a minimum decibel threshold – the toy stays silent when the sound around you is below the threshold. And you set a sensitivity – how much of the toy’s power range will be used when the sound is above the threshold. There’s also a live decibel readout to calibrate against the room you’re in. Many other apps try to combine these settings or don’t even have a threshold control.

The music-sync mode is pretty good: it follows what’s playing on Spotify or your local files, but the only real control is capping the maximum intensity. It works fine as a way to get changing vibrations without having to control anything yourself.

Lovense has a few niche extra control features and settings that can be helpful – Voice Control if your fingers are otherwise occupied, and Device-to-Device control where another Lovense toy (the Max 2, Nora, or Solace) drives the Ferri’s vibrations through the controller’s own movements. You can also set a max-intensity setting for each toy to cap how high the vibrations can go – this can be useful both for keeping the toy below a noise threshold and for limiting how high a partner can push it if you’re sensitive to overstimulation.

Overall, the Lovense app’s close-range features are excellent and the best of any brand.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lovense’s long-distance experience is also the best of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, by a wide margin.

When messaging or video calling, my partner gets the same great Remote screen with the Float and Loop controls, so they can set a constant intensity or draw a looping pattern easily. The long-distance core controls aren’t stripped down like many apps do. One minor downside is that you can’t control your own toy during a video call; only your partner can. Most of the time that’s fine, but occasionally I’d like to take over for a moment to set my own intensity.

The video call tools are excellent and make for a seamless experience with your partner.

Getting into a call is easy – when your partner sends a video call request, there’s a clear screen on your phone with a green accept button or red reject button. Some apps send the request to a particular screen and your partner has to go there to find it, which makes calls easy to miss, but requests in Lovense’s app are noticeable.

When you’re in a video call, you can mute, toggle your camera off/on, flip video to front or back, cast the audio to a speaker, or end the call.

It’s easy to see your partner and access the controls – the video feed is clear by default. Just tap the screen to bring up the control panel. You can also reposition your self-view anywhere on the screen to see your partner more clearly. Some apps keep annoying controls permanently covering the view of your partner.

You can both lock your phone screen or use other apps without issue. The in-app messaging is alo excellent and very easy to use with a thread that’s easy to follow – it looks just like any other message thread. You can send all the important media types you might want to: voice notes, photos, and videos from your camera or camera roll. And there’s an effective, optional “burn after reading” feature for single-time viewing and preventing screenshots.

You can adjust your partner’s settings to auto-accept their control requests so they can take control of your toy by surprise, get a push notification when they come online, or hide your online status from them specifically. And each partner’s controls can be set differently.

Anonymous and group play is broader than any other app-controlled brand. You can send a one-time control link to someone or create a group link for up to 10 people to control your toy. When time’s up they lose control and can’t request it again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Ferri’s connectivity is excellent and the most reliable of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, in both nearby Bluetooth and long-distance modes.

Pairing is fast and easy. The very first time is fast but takes a couple steps: tap “Add Toy,” turn the Ferri on, and it appears in the toy list to be added in seconds. After that one-time setup, the Ferri auto-connects immediately when you turn it on with the app open.

Once paired, the Ferri stays connected through normal phone behavior – locking the screen, switching to another app, or leaving Lovense Remote idle for long stretches doesn’t drop the connection.

It also stays connected through body interference like happens when a partner is controlling your toy from an angle or behind you. Water-rich materials like body tissue dampen Bluetooth signals more than walls or clothing, which is why some panty vibrators that handle solo app control fine still drop the connection during partner control.

Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively harder positions, and the Ferri holds a stable connection at all three – including the most severe angle. Other panty vibrators like the Satisfyer Sexy Secret and NS Novelties Techno Lucy lose the connection at that worst-case angle. So if a partner controlling your toy with a lot of your body in the way is part of how you’ll use a panty vibe, the Ferri’s connectivity is excellent.

Bluetooth range came in around 190 feet in our open-air test (measured with a clear line-of-sight) before the connection dropped – well past the distance you’d likely cover during typical wearable use. Your own results may vary depending on walls and interference.

When a disconnect does happen (like if you walk out of range, or something briefly blocks the signal), the app reconnects automatically as soon as the signal is clear, and a red “Reconnecting…” indicator on screen shows the controlling partner that control has paused rather than pretending it’s still working.

Two settings also give you control over what the vibrations do during a disconnect: Auto-Stop pauses the Ferri until reconnection – useful for making sure the toy stays silent – or you can set it to keep the last vibration level running so stimulation isn’t interrupted.

The long-distance connectivity is also excellent. The long-distance connection works in two parts: the Ferri talks to your phone over Bluetooth (the same as during nearby play), and your phone talks to your partner’s phone over Wi-Fi or cell data. So as long as your cell signal or Wi-Fi is decent, the long-distance connection works well. Sessions don’t drop unexpectedly, commands consistently take effect, and the connection survives normal phone behavior on either end (locking the screen, switching apps, backgrounding Lovense Remote).

It can be spotty if you’re continually switching from wifi to cell data. So if you’re in this situation, it’s best to start the call on cell data, which prevents the call from dropping.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Lovense Ferri 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).

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

A single button cycles forward through three power presets and four vibration patterns; there’s no backward step, and the full power range is only available through the app. The three presets are programmable from the app’s “Adjust Levels” screen, so you can set them to whatever levels you like. I’d rather the patterns weren’t on the cycle – most people don’t use them, and they add more clicks when you’re cycling through power levels.

The button is easy to feel and press without looking. Pressing pushes the Ferri against your body, but the button sits further back from the clit-end than on most panty vibrators, so the pressure lands in a plusher, more comfortable spot than a lot of panty vibrators.

In practice, the on-toy button is mostly for turning the Ferri on and off – the app handles everything else.

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

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

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

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

The Lovense Ferri stays securely in place.

The magnet allows you to position the Ferri in the best spot on your underwear for you and secure it in place. The Ferri’s magnet is very strong, and the Ferri’s body is lightweight, so there isn’t much weight working against the anchor. The magnet is strong enough to hold the Ferri through my hand. I can place the toy anywhere in my underwear it stays there.

When using the Ferri in bed, it doesn’t budge from where I magnet it. Leg movement when shifting between sitting, lying back, and rolling onto my side nudges the toy a little, but I never feel it slipping off my clit – any small repositioning is just to optimize the spot.

When wearing it around while walking, it wiggles side-to-side a bit, but the magnet holds securely – and this movement actually makes it feel more stimulating.

Heavy activity like running, squats, dancing, and jumping jacks is where the Ferri shifts the most. It bounces around a little with gravity on landings, but always snaps back to its original spot, never falls out, and stays in a stimulating place throughout.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Ferri is comfortable to wear in bed and during light activity, but its firm body and focused contact surface keep it just behind the most comfortable panty vibrators I’ve tested.

When walking or going up and down stairs, the Ferri shifts a small amount side-to-side, and that movement translates into a little extra clit stimulation, but also a little less comfort. The toy is small enough that I never have to adjust my walk, and the slight wiggle doesn’t bother me personally. But it’s noticeable, and it isn’t something you can really control.

In bed, it’s very comfortable. There are no sharp seams, and the slight curve lays the toy along my pubic area so it doesn’t pull off or tap uncomfortably as I shift around. The Ferri has no flex or squish, though, and the contact area is small. When I roll onto my side, I feel some pressure as my legs push the firm toy into my body. It’s not painful, just something I notice. And the firm, focused shape is what allows the vibes to transfer so well.

If comfort is the priority, both the NS Novelties Techno Lucy (app-controlled) and the VeDO Niki (remote-controlled) are more comfortable options. Just be aware, the Lucy’s app is much worse, and the Niki isn’t quite as strong as the Ferri.

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

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

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

While the Lovense Ferri isn’t the quietest panty vibrator I’ve tested, it’s reasonably discreet.

It was just below the most-discreet tier 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 preset volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). One of the Ferri’s oddities is that the lower settings have harsher, more uneven sound. Whereas the higher settings vibrate more cleanly and are less noticeable – even though their decibel readings are nearly identical at around 43 dBA each. So the Ferri’s middle and high vibration strengths were masked by our quietest background audio (56 dBA of pink noise). But to mask the lowest vibration setting, we had to increase the pink noise to our moderate level (62 dBA).

The Ferri had a similar pattern behind a closed bedroom door. For this part of the noise test, my partner listens from the other side of the 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.

My partner couldn’t hear it on low or high power. But he heard the middle setting – really only when I was moving the toy so the sound was changing. The middle has that more jarring quality and enough strength that it draws your ear; high power settles into a cleaner, consistent pitch – which is why high power is actually more discreet than the middle behind a closed door.

If you want a more discreet panty vibrator without giving up much power, the VeDO Niki (remote-controlled) is meaningfully quieter and is another one of the strongest panty vibrators I’ve tested.

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

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

For our Background Noise Masking subtest, I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away and we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). At our quietest audio (56 dBA of pink noise), my partner could hear the Foxy at every vibration power

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

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

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

The Lovense Ferri lasted 168 minutes during our test continuously vibrating on its top power level – the longest of any panty vibrator. Plus, in actual use you’ll likely use the lower and middle settings too which will extend the battery life.

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

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

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

The Ferri’s build quality is excellent – I’ve had mine since 2020 and it’s still working exactly as expected. The toy is smooth, firm silicone on the side in contact with your body, with some plastic and magnetic portions on the other side. The magnet that anchors the toy is small but very strong. The seams are all tight, and the single button has a satisfying press without needing much pressure to activate.

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