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.

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 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.

Shifting your weight to press on the back of the toy helps press the toy more firmly against you.

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.

Difference in Width and Stimulation Precision Between Lovense Ferri and VeDO Niki
The Ferri (left) provides more focused stimulation, while the Niki (right) provides broad, blanketing stimulation.

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.


Clit Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)

Beat Sensation N/A N/A

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.

Lovense Ferri and VeDO Niki

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.

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 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 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 N/A 8.4
Power vs Frequency Graph
Frequency on Low Power N/A 28.0 Hz
Median Frequency N/A 73.8 Hz
Frequency on High Power N/A 103.2 Hz
Rumbliness & Power Balance N/A 8.7
Beat Sensation N/A 7.0

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

App Control: Main Takeaways

Close-Range Features Rating 9.3 5.7
Long-Distance Features Rating 8.9 4.0
Close-Range Connectivity Rating 10.0 5.2
Long-Distance Connectivity Rating 9.8 4.3

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 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 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.

Lovense Ferri Remote Screen
The Lovense Ferri’s remote 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.

Lovense Ferri and Lovense Lush 4 Controlled Together
You can control more than one toy at once through the Lovense app.

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.

Lovense Ferri Sound Mode
You can control the Ferri using sounds around you, and set the minimum decibel required for the Ferri to respond.

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 Ferri Music Mode
Music Mode in the Lovense app.

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 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’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.

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

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.

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

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 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 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.

Lovense Reconnecting Message
The app will provide an indicator if your toy is not connected with the “reconnecting” indicator.

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 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.


Remote Control: Main Takeaways


Remote Control N/A 9.4
Features Rating N/A 8.9
Connectivity Rating N/A 9.8

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:

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.

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

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

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

The 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 Ferri stays securely in place.

The Ferri’s magnet keeps it very 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.

The Lovense Ferri’s magnet is strong enough to hold through my hand.

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.

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 7.8 7.1
In Bed 8.0 7.4
Light Activity 7.5 6.8

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.

The Ferri is very firm, while the VeDO Niki (blue) has more flexibility, which some may find more comfortable.

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

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.

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.

The VeDO Niki is a quieter panty vibrator.

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 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 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 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.

We-Vibe Jive 2 Build Quality

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 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.
