Like all egg vibrators the Lush 3 only stimulates your G-spot. – not your clit. The external arm is just an antenna and doesn’t vibrate. For clit stimulation, a panty vibrator like the Lovense Ferri is the better type of wearable for you. Or 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 from G-spot vibrations alone, but when I pair the Lush 3 with clitoral stimulation, it makes my orgasms feel much more full.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Lucy’s vibration power and rumbliness in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: The Lucy is one of the most stimulating panty vibrators I’ve tested, especially for its price – strong, with a form-fitting design that delivers that strength to your clit well. The trade-off is rumbliness – the Lucy is buzzy at every setting, and extremely buzzy at the top, but I still enjoy its vibration feel personally.

If strong, rumbly vibrations matter more, go with the VeDO Niki (remote-only, no app), but otherwise the Lucy’s clit stimulation is great.

The Techno Lucy is one of the strongest panty vibrators I’ve tested, with a top power of 9 out of 10. Among magnetic panty vibrators, only the Lovense Ferri reaches a higher top strength.

The power range is wide, but there’s only three power levels: a soft 1 out of 10 at the low end (a good warmup setting), a jump straight to 7 in the middle, and a powerful 9 at the top. While there’s not a ton of intermediate settings, I personally find the three settings it provides enough to comfortably warmup and finish strongly.

The Lucy also transfers that power to your clit really well. Its curved, broad design contours to your vulva, and a strong, wide magnet keeps the toy from pivoting out of place. Among magnetic panty vibrators, only the Lovense Ferri delivers more of its motor’s strength to your clit. While a lot of panty vibrators feel weaker than their strength would suggest, the Lucy’s 9 out of 10 power actually feels strong on your clit.

The Lucy’s curve also gives you some ability to press the vibrations more firmly into your clit hands-free. When you’re sitting, shifting your weight onto the end opposite your clit tilts the front end more firmly into you – closer to handheld pressure control than a straight panty vibrator gets, though still certainly not the level of pressure you get from a handheld vibrator.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer – rumbly vibrations travel deeper and feel more diffuse, while buzzy ones stay nearer the surface with a sharper kick. But this is a personal preference, and many people do enjoy buzzy vibes.

The Lucy is buzzy. Its lowest setting measures 92.5 Hz, which is moderately buzzy, and the top climbs to 142.5 Hz, well into the extremely buzzy range. There’s no level where the Lucy feels rumbly or even neutral – its vibrations stay in the moderately-to-extremely buzzy range across all three settings.

This is fairly typical for panty vibrators – the small motors that fit inside a wearable often have a hard time generating the low-frequency vibrations that feel rumbly while also spinning fast enough to feel strong. I personally enjoy the Lucy’s strong, buzzy vibrations, because they stay pressed to my body and transfer well to my clit.

But if you want a strong, rumbly panty vibrator, the VeDO Niki is a great option for about $20 more. It’s a rare panty vibrator that delivers deep, low-frequency vibrations throughout its whole power range.

In the next sections, I’ll break down the Lush 3’s G-spot vibration power and rumbliness in more detail.

Main takeaway: The Lush 3 is one of the most stimulating egg vibrators I’ve tested. It’s tied with the older Lush 2 and newer Lush 4 as the strongest egg vibrator, and its contoured bulb presses that power directly into my G-spot.

Its vibrations also have good rumbliness. The Lush 3’s vibrations and shape are nearly identical to the Lush 4’s, so you’re not trading off any stimulation going with the older model.

If you want the deepest rumbliness, the remote-controlled VeDO Kiwi is better. But if strong G-spot stimulation is your priority, the Lush 3 is excellent.

Like all panty vibrators, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy only stimulates your clit – not your G-spot. Since most women need clit stimulation to orgasm, a panty vibrator is often the right type of wearable. But if you’re interested in G-spot stimulation instead, see all our recommendations for the best egg vibrators here.

The Lovense Lush 3 has excellent vibration strength, a wide power range, and a shape that presses that power directly into my G-spot.

Its G-spot vibrations are the strongest of any wearable vibrator I’ve tested – tied with the older Lush 2 and newer Lush 4. Its range is also excellent, spanning gentle warmup levels, moderate stimulation, and intense top settings. Through the app, you can adjust power in tiny, comfortable steps, from a very gentle low setting to its 10 out of 10 full power.

The Lush 3’s shape also makes its power especially effective. With wearable vibrators, you can’t press harder for more intensity the way you can with a handheld toy – the design has to position the motor’s strength in the right spot naturally. The Lush 3’s contoured bulb sits firmly against my front wall, pressing into my G-spot more directly than oval or cylindrical toys like the We-Vibe Jive Lite or VeDO Kiwi.

I feel a focused, full pressure with a slight “squeeze” sensation against my bladder, and that pressure with the vibrations directly against my front wall feels very stimulating.

The Lush 3 and Lush 4 have the same shape and nearly identical vibrations, so you’re not giving up any vibration power by choosing the Lush 3. The Lush 4 starts slightly gentler, but both begin softly enough that the difference isn’t meaningful.

The Lush 3 has great rumbliness.

Rumbliness matters more for G-spot toys than it does for external vibrators because the vibrations have to travel through more tissue to reach sensitive areas. Lower-frequency, rumbly vibrations carry through the body better than buzzy vibrations, so they tend to feel deeper and more satisfying internally.

The Lush 3 starts extremely rumbly on low power and stays moderately rumbly through its middle settings. As you turn it up, it gets buzzier – which is normal for vibrators – but even though its highest settings are extremely buzzy, they’re strong enough that they still feel full and impactful rather than thin or tickly like weak, buzzy vibrations do.

That balance makes the Lush 3 work especially well for G-spot stimulation. The lower settings feel deep and comfortable for warmup, while the higher settings add a lot more intensity without becoming too surface-level. If rumbliness is a top priority to you, the remote-controlled VeDO Kiwi is the only egg vibrator that’s substantially more rumbly.

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

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

The only app-related difference between the Lush 3 and Lush 4 is Bluetooth range. In our max-range test, the Lush 4 stayed connected up to 345 feet, while the Lush 3 reached 130 feet. That’s a big improvement on paper, but both are more than enough for typical use.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Love Spouse app’s close-range and long-distance features and its connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Love Spouse app is very basic and can feel spammy. But it’s functional for both close-range and long-distance play. The Techno Lucy is also more sensitive to body interference blocking the bluetooth signal than pricier panty vibrators. But at this budget point, it’s a good option.

If you want a feature-rich app and the best connectivity available, you’ll need to increase your budget and go with the Lovense Ferri. If basic, working app control is fine, the Lucy’s app does the core job.

The Lush 3 has the best close-range app features of any brand.

On the main Remote screen, you drag a control dot up or down to adjust intensity. Tap Float to hold a steady power level, or Loop to draw a custom pattern that repeats. Since the toy vibrates 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.

You can also control multiple Lovense toys at once, with each motor getting its own dot on the Remote screen. For example, you can pair the Lush 3 with the Lovense Ferri for simultaneous G-spot and clit stimulation, or control your toy and a nearby partner’s toy together. We tested four toys at once without issue.

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 still until the room gets loud enough, and adjust sensitivity to control how much of the toy’s power range it uses. The live decibel readout makes it easy to calibrate. Many other apps either combine these controls or don’t offer a threshold at all.

The music-sync mode works with Spotify or local files and follows the music well enough for hands-free variation. You can cap the intensity to keep it in your comfortable range.

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

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

The Love Spouse app’s close-range features are very basic – it has the most limited close-range app experience I’ve tested in a panty vibrator. The core constant-intensity control works, so if you just need an app to select your vibration power it’s fine – especially at this budget. But more customized controls you’d expect from higher-end apps are either missing or don’t work well. Consider the Lovense Ferri if you care about greater customization.

The one useful screen in the app is Classic Mode, which lists the toy’s preset modes as “Mode 1” through “Mode 9.” Modes 1-3 are the toy’s low, medium, and high constant intensity; the rest are the toy’s preset patterns.

That’s the entire intensity-control system – three stepped levels rather than the continuous adjustment most panty-vibe apps offer. If you want to dial in a precise feel between low and medium, you can’t; you’re stuck with the three steps the toy ships with. The modes also aren’t descriptively labeled, so you (or a partner controlling your toy) can’t tell what a pattern feels like without trying each one first, you have to memorize what each means.

Beyond Classic Mode, the app is cluttered with poorly built features that don’t add value. Draw Something is meant to let you drag your finger on the screen to control vibration intensity – but the response is so inconsistent that after ten minutes I still couldn’t figure out how it was supposed to work. Music Mode plays the toy along to music, but you’re limited to a handful of pre-installed songs the brand made up – no Spotify, no Apple Music, no songs from your phone – and the vibrations don’t really match the music anyway. Game Mode and a Shaking feature (where you shake your phone to control intensity) are similarly unusable in practice. Ads for the brand’s cam services run throughout the app, often taking up more space on the main control screen than the controls themselves. You don’t have to watch ads before playing, but they’re on the screen taking up space.

If you want anything beyond stepping between three preset intensity levels or selecting from the preset patterns the Lovense Ferri has a much better app. If you’re fine with basic controls and just need a functional app on a budget, the Techno Lucy’s app can be fine.

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

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

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

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

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

Lovense gives you helpful partner settings too. You can let a trusted partner auto-accept control requests, 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 Love Spouse app’s long-distance features are basic but functional – the core call-and-control flow works, but getting to the call is rough.

Your long-distance partner controls your Lucy with the same Mode 1 through Mode 9 preset selector you have during close-range play, and the same limitations.

Getting into a call is unintuitive at first, especially if you want to control a partner’s toy without also owning a toy of your own. The easiest way to connect with a partner is to select YOUR own toy from the home screen. Once connected to your toy, you’ll see a “Friend Control” option in the menu. Add your partner, and then you can select to invite them to a control session. Then once in a control session, you can also request to start a video call. This way requires that you also own a toy in order to access your friends list through your toy’s menu.

If you don’t own a Love Spouse toy too, you have to navigate to the “World” menu, which takes you to a spammy screen with a ton of random users sending a constant stream of messages. But in the top left of this screen, there’s a message icon where you can access your friends list and start the video call with your partner from there.

Once you’re in, though, the video call itself is pretty good. Video quality is high on decent internet, your view of your partner fills most of the screen without the controls cluttering the feed, and the toy control panel is easy to access – toggling off fullscreen brings the controls up in the bottom half of the screen while keeping your partner in view at the top. You can also both control each other’s vibrations during the call.

The call does have a few notable gaps. You can’t toggle off your camera or mute your mic – only flip front/back camera, switch to speaker, or end the call (a voice-only call option exists as a fallback). And there’s an in-call messaging feature that you should not use: messages fill up the video screen and don’t go away.

The standalone chat experience is bad: messages appear in a tiny corner window, text overflows onto buttons of similar color, lines cut off mid-word, and there’s no message history. There’s no media sharing during an active control session either – you can’t send a photo or voice clip while controlling your partner’s toy.

For people interested in the Anonymous play some higher-end apps like Lovense offer, it exists in the Love Spouse app, but it’s behind a paywall.

If long-distance play is a priority for you, the Lovense Ferri is a better choice – its app gives your partner rich control in long-distance mode, with a clean non-spammy interface that works well. For basic control over your partner’s vibrations during a video call, the Techno Lucy can work fine.

The Lush 3’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: tap Add Toy, turn the Lush 3 on, and it appears in the app within seconds. After that first setup, it auto-connects as soon as you turn it on with the app open.

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

It also handles body interference very well. 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 Lush 3 stayed connected through all three positions, including the hardest one. The Satisfyer Ribbed Petal, by contrast, lost connection at certain angles.

Bluetooth range reached about 130 feet in our clear line-of-sight test, which is more than enough for typical play. Walls and other interference will shorten real-world range. If long Bluetooth range matters most, the newer Lush 4 reached about 345 feet in the same test, while performing the same as the Lush 3 in the rest of our connectivity testing.

If the Lush 3 does disconnect, the app reconnects automatically once the signal is clear. A red “Reconnecting…” message also tells the controlling partner that control has paused, instead of making it look like commands are still working.

You can also choose what happens during a disconnect: Auto-Stop pauses the toy until it reconnects, or you can have it keep vibrating at the last intensity level.

Long-distance connectivity is excellent too. 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.

The Lucy’s app connectivity is reliable for solo control, but it’s just decent for nearby or long-distance partnered play. If reliable connectivity through any situation matters a lot to you, the Lovense Ferri is a better option, though it’s pricier.

Getting up and running is mostly automatic. The very first time, you have to enter a four-digit binding code from the toy’s instruction manual – annoying, but you only do it once (so don’t toss the manual before pairing). After that, the app auto-connects whenever you open it and turn the toy on. If the connection drops mid-session (like from going out of range), reconnection is automatic as soon as the signal’s clear again.

When I’m controlling my own toy, commands go through reliably and the connection holds through phone locking, app-switching, and periods of inactivity. The Lucy can also handle light body interference, like controlling the toy yourself or when a partner is facing you or at a slight angle. But as you put more of your body between the phone and the toy, it can lose the connection.

Water-rich materials like body tissue can significantly dampen bluetooth signals – much more than clothes or typical walls. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively harder positions: the Lucy holds a stable connection at the first, drops occasional commands at the second (but auto-reconnects on its own), and can’t maintain a connection at the third, most severe angle.

The Lovense Ferri holds at all three positions, which matters if a partner will be controlling your toy with a lot of your body in the way.

The Lucy’s Bluetooth range comes in around 40 feet in our open-air test, measured with a clear line-of-sight. That’s enough for same-room control, but well short of what Lovense’s and other panty vibrators reach – and body interference at certain angles will shorten your real distance further.

For long-distance play, the connection works well when both partners keep the Love Spouse app open. Sessions don’t drop unexpectedly, and commands go through reliably while both apps are active. If the toy-wearer’s app is locked or minimized, it can cause the controls to freeze until the app is back up again. Better long-distance apps like Lovense’s let the controlling partner keep adjusting your vibrations through normal phone behavior.

For solo control, partnered control from angles without much of your body in the way, and basic long-distance play, the Lucy’s connectivity holds up – especially considering how inexpensive the Techno Lucy is.

The Lovense Lush 3 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).

• best wearable vibrators (wearables only).

Like most egg vibrators, the Lush 3’s on-toy controls are basic – the toy sits inside you during use, so you’ll mostly rely on the app.

But the Lush 3 has some of the better on-toy controls for an egg vibrator. The biggest reason is that you can customize its three on-toy intensity presets from the app’s “Adjust Levels” screen. So even though the button doesn’t give you the full power range, you can make sure the physical button’s cylce includes the main levels you actually use.

Pressing the button cycles through three power levels and four patterns on a shared loop. 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 enough to access. It sits on the tip of the antenna, where it stays reachable while you’re wearing the toy. It’s raised, easy to find by feel, and has a firm click feel. Some other eggs place the button on the body, which requires you to pull the toy out to press it.

Overall, the on-toy button works well as a backup. But the app is the main way you’ll use the Lush 3.

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

There’s a single button on the toy that cycles through the same nine settings from the app – three steady power levels, then six vibration patterns. There’s no minus button, so dropping back to a gentler power takes cycling through the remaining settings. Nine settings is enough that the cycle takes some patience, but as a backup or if you want to occasionally use the toy handheld it works fine.

The button is well-placed: easy to feel and press without looking, and centered in the middle of the broad, plush body. Pressing it does push the toy against your vulva, but the central placement and broad surface distribute the pressure evenly across your body rather than concentrating it in one spot, so it’s comfortable.

The limited on-toy button works fine, since the app is the main way you’ll use the Lucy.

The Lush 3 fits extremely securely in bed, while walking around, and during heavier movement.

Once inserted, it guides itself into position, settles securely, and takes some effort to remove. That secure fit is one of the main advantages of egg vibrators in general over other types of wearable vibrators: their bulbous shape naturally holds the toy in place without needing an adjustable mechanism.

Its curved, flexible antenna also fits well along my body instead of sticking out or tapping around. This is one of the biggest improvements over the older Lush 2, whose straighter antenna needed adjustment during activity. The newest Lush 4 also keeps the updated form-fitting antenna design.

The NS Novelties Techno Lucy is the most secure fitting panty vibrator I’ve tested, even compared to other magnetic panty vibrators.

The clit-end is broad, but it tapers narrower toward the base between your legs, the toy curves to be form-fitting along your vulva, and the magnet is strong, large, and recessed into a divot at the back.

The broad clit-end paired with the large magnet pins the part vibrating by your clit firmly to your underwear. It has none of the wiggle room a narrower toy or small magnet sometimes leaves. Even if the toy tilts slightly as you move, the breadth of the clit-end keeps it secure against your body. And the curved, tapered shape means your thighs don’t bump the toy off-axis as you walk – it nestles naturally between your legs.

In bed, the toy doesn’t shift through normal moving around or changing positions.

During light activity like walking or doing chores, you can feel the toy move with you as you walk, but it doesn’t actually shift off the spot you secured it to – and gravity doesn’t pull it down off your clit even when standing.

Heavy activity is where most magnetic panty vibrators shift more, but the Lucy holds up better here than any I’ve tested. It stayed in place and maintained great clit contact while I danced and did high knees. Jumping and running do make it bounce – the toy pulls away from your body when you land – but it moves right back where it’s clipped without any manual readjustment.

The Lush 3 is pretty comfortable, especially for a girthier egg vibrator. But it’s not the best choice if you want a slim, barely-there fit.

The curved bulb sits firmly against my front wall and creates a noticeable fullness, with some pressure on my bladder. That additional pressure makes it more stimulating, but less comfortable for extended wear.

Lying still, it feels comfortable enough. I notice the fullness more when I’m sitting upright, bending over, or going up stairs – still doable, but I prefer slimmer eggs like the Lush Mini. Like most thicker eggs, it also gives a noticeable stretch going in and coming out, so some warmup helps.

The external antenna is very comfortable – one of the biggest improvements over the older Lush 2 which has a rigid antenna that sticks out more and requires occasional re-adjustments for comfort. The Lush 3’s antenna has a form-fitting, curved design that hugs my body instead of sticking out, so it doesn’t bump around, tap uncomfortably against my clit, or need adjusting while I move. The newest Lush 4has the same form-fitting design.

If you find less fullness internally more comfortable, the Lovense Lush Mini is a better option – with the same app and connectivity, but less stretch and bulk. If you’d rather skip insertion entirely, consider the Lovense Ferri panty vibrator instead.

The NS Novelties Techno Lucy is the most comfortable panty vibrator I’ve tested. It stays comfortable both in bed and while you’re up and moving around – where most panty vibrators drop in comfort to some degree when walking.

The same design that makes it fit so securely also keeps it comfortable. The broad clit-end distributes pressure evenly across your clit area, the slim section between your legs prevents it from getting bumped around much with movement, and the form curves to stay snug against your body.

In bed, the contours extremely well to the body. Like the Sexy Secret, it’s the easiest panty vibrator I’ve found to settle into a comfortable placement, but the Lucy is far more stimulating.

During light activity like walking around the house or sitting at a desk, the broad, plush surface keeps good contact with the clit without any uncomfortable “tapping”, even if the toy is jostled a bit. When sitting, the extra pressure distributes evenly across the plush surface. The Lucy is one toy I could wear for a long time without becoming uncomfortable.

The Lush 3 is quiet overall, especially when worn, but its sound quality is a little harsher than the newer Lush 4 and Lush Mini. It sounds more like the Lush 2 – slightly grating in open air rather than the cleaner, steadier hum of the newer models.

In our sound test, the Lush 3 measured about 44 dBA on low and 49 dBA** on high, making it a bit louder than the Lush 4 and Mini. But once inserted, the body naturally dampens the sound.

When worn, the Lush 3 was fully masked by background noise. My partner listened from three feet away while I wore the toy and played 3 varying strengths of pink noise, and he couldn’t hear it at any power level. In a fully silent room, though, every wearable I’ve tested, including the Lush 3, is still audible.

It was less consistent behind a closed bedroom door. In that part of the test, I used the Lush 3 in bed like a handheld toy instead of wearing it, since wearing dampens sound. The toy was inaudible on low and high, but the middle setting carried through the door because of its sharper sound quality. Mild ambient noise, like cars passing outside, was enough to mask it.

If sound quality matters, the Lush 4 and Lush Mini are better. In practice, all three are discreet when worn, but the newer models are quieter and have a smoother hum across the full power range.

The Lucy is exceptionally quiet – tied for the quietest panty vibrator I’ve tested. And unlike the others tied with it (Satisfyer Sexy Secret, Little Secret, and Romp Party), it’s also one of the most stimulating.

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

The Lucy is also in the most discreet tier of wearable vibrators I’ve tested in our Background Noise Masking subtest. In this 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 Lucy at any vibration strength while playing any of our three volumes of background noise audio. It’s definitely audible in our room without any background audio playing – but every wearable vibrator I’ve tested is, no matter how gentle and quiet the vibrations are.

Behind a closed bedroom door, the Lucy was similarly inaudible. For this part of the noise test, my partner listens from outside the closed 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 reposition the toy or move it around. Holding the toy instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Lucy at any setting from behind our bedroom door – no fan or music needed to mask it.

The Lush 3 has a long battery life. In our test, it ran for about 135 minutes continuously on its top setting. Lovense lists a longer maximum, but that’s not measured at the full power we use for testing. Since most sessions use a mix of lower and middle settings too, you’ll likely get longer than our top-power result in normal use.

That’s well above average for a wearable vibrator and slightly longer than the newer Lush 4 lasted in our test (~120 minutes). It’s also more than twice the Lush Mini’s ~65-minute result, so if long runtime matters, the Lush 3 is a better option than the Mini.

The Lucy has a short battery life – it lasted 55 minutes in my test on its highest setting. That’s lower than high-end panty vibrators – the average runs closer to 90 minutes, and the Lovense Ferri lasts closer to three hours. You can extend the Lucy’s battery life during normal use since you’ll likely also use the lower settings some too.

The Lovense Lush 3 is very easy to clean. It’s fully waterproof – rated IPX7, so you can rinse it under a running faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water without worry.

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

The Lush 3 feels well-built and durable. I’ve had this one since 2021 and it still works normally – I expect it to hold up well with normal use and care.

The body is entirely covered in smooth silicone; the curved antenna is thick enough to feel sturdy and holds its shape well against my body; and the single button has a satisfying click that responds without needing much pressure.

The Lucy feels high quality, especially for a budget panty vibrator. It’s covered entirely in thick-feeling silicone with a nice flex to it, the button presses with a satisfying click, and the broad, strong magnet creates a solid, sturdy connection.
