Clit Stimulation: Main Takeaways


Clit Stimulation N/A N/A

Like all egg vibrators the Lush 4 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.

Lovense Lush 4 and Lovense Ferri
The Lush 4 (left) only stimulates internally. For external stimulation, try the Lovense Ferri (right).

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 4 with clitoral stimulation, it makes my orgasms feel much more full.

Like all egg vibrators, the Lovense Vulse 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.

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.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Lush 4’s G-spot vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Lush 4 is one of the most stimulating egg vibrators I’ve tested. It’s tied with the older Lush 3 and Lush 2 as the strongest egg vibrator, the G-spot contoured bulb delivers all that strength straight to the right spot, and the vibrations have good rumbliness.

Lovense Lush 4 and VeDO Kiwi
The Lovense Lush 4 (left) is stronger, while the VeDO Kiwi (right) is more rumbly.

If the deepest rumbliness matters most to you, the VeDO Kiwi (remote-controlled) is a better choice. If vibration strength matters most, the Lush 4 is excellent.

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

Here’s the main conclusion: the Vulse delivers good, enjoyable G-spot stimulation through its thrusting motion, but the vibrations are weak and buzzy. Don’t buy the Vulse expecting it to feel like the much stronger Lush models – the Lovense Lush 4 is 4x stronger.

The Lovense Vulse’s thrusting motion and vibrations.

Instead, it’s a nice option for those who prefer internal movement. For me, the Vulse works best paired with a favorite external clit vibrator: it does not carry me to orgasm by itself, but it noticeably enhances one.

Power vs Frequency Graph
How Strong Is Each Power? 

The Lovense Lush 4 has outstanding vibration strength, a wide power range, and the vibrations get pressed directly into my G-spot.

The Lush 4’s G-spot vibrations are the strongest of any wearable vibrator I’ve tested (tied with the Lush 3 and Lush 2).

The power range is among the widest I’ve tested with gentle, moderate, and strong levels. You can adjust the power continuously through the app in tiny, comfortable increments, spanning from 0.1 at the gentlest setting (great for warming up) up to a 10 at full strength.

The Lush 4’s shape and fit transfer the vibrations very effectively to my G-spot. With wearables you can’t press harder for more intensity the way you can with a handheld – so the toy’s design has to get the motor’s strength to the right spot naturally. And the Lush 4 does this well.

Side View of Lovense Lush 4 and VeDO Kiwi
The Lush 4’s contoured bulb (left) presses more firmly against the front wall than the VeDO Kiwi’s cylindrical design (right).

The pronounced bump sits right against the front wall once inserted. That shape presses into my G-spot much more effectively than oval or cylindrical toys like the We-Vibe Jive Lite or VeDO Kiwi. None of the Lush 4’s power gets lost on the way: I feel a focused, full pressure with a slight “squeeze” sensation against my bladder – that pressure with the vibrations directly against my front wall feels very stimulating.

The Vulse’s G-spot vibrations are weak for an egg vibrator. Its main feature is the thrusting motion, so the vibrations feel secondary: I rate its top power at 2.5 out of 10, with the low end starting at 0.8.

Lovense’s vibration-only eggs, like the Lovense Lush 4, Lush Mini, and Lush 3, are roughly 4x stronger. They also feel more G-spot focused since their bulbous, countoured shape angles and presses the vibrations into the front wall better than the Vulse’s straighter shape.

The Lush 4 has vibrations instead of motion, so the vibrations are much stronger.

With the Vulse, I barely notice the vibrations alongside the thrusting. If strong G-spot vibrations matter more to you than motion, go with the Lovense Lush 4 or Lush Mini instead.


G-spot Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)

Rumbliness & Power Balance 8.6 4.2
Beat Sensation N/A N/A

The Lush 4 has great rumbliness for an egg vibrator.

Rumbly vibrations are especially helpful for G-spot stimulation because they travel deeper through the body. With clit vibrators, the motor sits directly against a highly sensitive area. But with G-spot toys, the vibrations need to travel farther through tissue to reach sensitive areas – and lower-frequency, rumbly vibrations travel farther than buzzy ones.

The Lush 4 starts extremely rumbly on low power and stays moderately rumbly through its middle settings. Like all vibrators, it becomes buzzier as you increase power. By the upper settings, it is extremely buzzy, but these settings have so much strength behind them that they feel full and impactful rather than thin or surface-level like weak, buzzy vibrations.

The VeDO Kiwi stays more rumbly on higher settings compared to the Lush, but it’s not as strong.

That balance is what makes the Lush 4 work so well for internal stimulation. Its lower settings feel deep and comfortable for warmup, while the stronger settings add more intensity without losing too much of that resonant quality that travels deeper. Only one egg vibrator I’ve tested – the VeDO Kiwi – is meaningfully more rumbly than the Lush 4. But the Lush 4 still delivers some of the best rumbly G-spot stimulation I’ve found in an app-controlled egg vibrator.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer deeper vibrations that travel through the body, though this is still a personal preference.

The Lovense Vulse is mostly buzzy. Though the vibrations start out moderately rumbly, the whole power range is too weak for any real impact. And by the time it’s reached the top power, its vibrating at 185 Hz – far into the extremely buzzy range. The Vulse’s vibrations need some deeper rumbliness to feel impactful at this strength.

The combination of weak and buzzy vibes means it is mostly the thrusting motion that drives the stimulation. If you prioritize rumbly vibrations over motion, go with the Lovense Lush 4 or VeDO Kiwi.


G-spot Stimulation from Motion


Stimulation from Motion Rating N/A 7.5
Target Accuracy N/A 7.4
Motion Under Load N/A 10.0
Motion Type N/A Thrusting
Max Motion Amplitude N/A 0.28 in
Min Motion Amplitude N/A 0.28 in
Max Speed N/A 104 CPM
Min Speed N/A 55 CPM

The Lovense Vulse provides enjoyable, noticeable internal motion, that strengthens my orgasms, but its thrusting does not target my G-spot as directly as I’d like.

The Vulse moves in and out rather than pressing upward into the front vaginal wall. So the stimulation feels more like general internal movement and fullness than focused G-spot pressure. It still feels good, and it performs much better than similar motion-based egg vibrators like the Lelo Hula Beads which has too little range of motion to be stimulating.

For me, the Vulse works best as hands-free internal stimulation paired with a separate clit vibrator. I can’t orgasm from internal stimulation alone, but its movement and fullness make my orgasms from clit stimulation feel stronger, fuller, and more drawn-out.

The Vulse’s motion motor is good – it doesn’t stall or slow down under pressure. And you have good control over the thrusting speed through the Lovense app. You can change it gradually from 55 cycles per minute (CPM) to 104. How far the Vulse thrusts is fixed at about 0.28 inches. While it’s a fairly shallow motion, its enough for me to enjoy, but some people may want more depth.

Lovense Vulse and Flexer with Lelo Ida Wave
The Lovense Vulse (left) with motion-based dual-stimulation wearables: the Lovense Flexer (middle) and Lelo Ida Wave (right).

Compared with dual-stimulation motion wearables, the Vulse creates more noticeable internal movement than the Lovense Flexer, whose motor mainly moves the external clit arm. The Vulse’s internal motion feels about as stimulating as the Lelo Ida Wave, though the Vulse creates more fullness while the Ida Wave directs its rotating motion more toward the front wall. Both the Flexer and Ida Wave also provide built-in clit stimulation, so I can orgasm with them hands-free; the Vulse requires a separate clit vibrator.

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 Lush 4’s app has the best close-range 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 both the Lovense Ferri (a clit vibrator) and the Lush 4 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 Lush 4 and Ferri Controlled Together
You can control more than one toy at a time in the Lovense app.

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.

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 Vulse’s app has the best close-range features of any brand.

On the main Remote screen, you drag a control dot up or down to adjust vibration intensity and speed of thrusting. Lovense typically provides control of separate motors in the app, but unfortunately the vibrations and thrusting are linked in the Vulse. So raising the vibration intensity increases the thrusting speed, and vice versa.

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

Lovense gives you helpful partner settings too. You can let a trusted partner auto-accept control requests, 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 Lush 4’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 4 on, and it appears in the app within seconds. After that first setup, it auto-connects as soon as you turn it on with the app open.

Once paired, the Lush 4 stays connected 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 4 stayed connected through all three positions, including the hardest one. The Satisfyer Ribbed Petal, by contrast, lost connection at certain angles.

Bluetooth range was excellent too, reaching about 345 feet in our clear line-of-sight test. That’s one of the longest ranges we’ve measured for a wearable and far more than most people will need. Though walls and other interference will shorten real-world range.

If the Lush 4 does disconnect, the app reconnects automatically once the signal is clear. A red “Reconnecting…” message also tells the controlling partner that control has paused. You can choose whether the toy stops vibrating during a disconnect with Auto-Stop, or keeps vibrating at the last intensity level until it reconnects.

Lovense Lush 4 Reconnecting Message
You are alerted with a “reconnecting” message if your toy loses connection.

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

One quirk: if you start a session on Wi-Fi and then switch to cell data, the first switch can drop control and require a quick re-invite. After that, switching works normally. To avoid this, start the session on cellular data.

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

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

Lovense Add Toy
Tap “add toy” to pair for the first time, after this, simply turning the toy on will auto-pair it with the app.

Once paired, the Vulse stays connected 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 Vulse stayed connected through all three positions, including the hardest one. Other eggs, like the Satisfyer Ribbed Petal lost connection at certain angles.

Bluetooth range was excellent too, reaching about 240 feet in our clear line-of-sight test. That’s far more than most people will need, though the newer Lovense Lush 4 reached an even farther 365 feet. Keep in mind, walls and other interference will shorten real-world range.

Lovense Vulse Reconnecting Message

Remote Control: Main Takeaways


Remote Control N/A N/A

The Lovense Lush 4 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:

Like most wearable vibrators, the Lush 4’s on-toy controls are limited by design. Since it’s a wearable, you’ll mostly control it through the app.

But the Lush 4 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 cycle includes the main levels you actually use.

Adjust Button Preset Powers in Lovense App
You can adjust what power levels are programmed into the on-toy button in the app.

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. 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. The app is the main way you’ll use the Lush 4.

While the app is the main way to control the Vulse, the toy does have a single externally accessible button on the antenna. This is much better than egg vibrators with a button on the body of the egg, which you have to remove to access.

The single button cycles through three power levels and four patterns on the same loop. You cannot step backward, so dropping to a gentler/slower level means clicking through the remaining settings first. Seven total settings is not terrible for backup control, but I would rather Lovense leave patterns out of the on-toy cycle.

Adjust Button Preset Powers in Lovense App
You can adjust what power levels are programmed into the on-toy button in the app.

If you do plan to use the on-toy button, Lovense allows you to set the 3 on-toy preset powers to whatever intensity you want through the app. That way, you can customize it to settings you’ll actually use.

The Lush 4 fits extremely securely whether you’re in bed, walking around, or doing heavier activity.

When pushing it in, it guides itself into the right spot and takes effort to get back out. 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.

The Lovense Vulse fits very securely – it’s the most secure of any of my wearable vibrators with motion. It was surprisingly comparable to eggs that only vibrate.

In bed, it stays exactly where I put it, even while the thrusting motion is running. When I walk around, the antenna can occasionally twist slightly causing the toy to rotate a bit to one side, but this doesn’t change the stimulation at all, and it stayed fully inserted – I’m not worried about it falling out at all.

Most of my other motion-based wearables are only safe for use in bed because the moving mechanism causes the toy to work its way out, but this is not an issue for the Vulse.

Like all egg vibrators, it’s not adjustable, because it simply slides into place. There are no hinges or bendable arms – eggs are more of a one-size-fits-all design.


Comfort


Comfort Rating 7.4 6.8
In Bed 7.4 7.0

The Lush 4 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.

The Lush Mini (right) is a slimmer option if you prefer less girth than the Lush 4 has (left).

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. Like the Lush 3 it 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. It’s much more comfortable than the old, rigid Lovense Lush 2 antenna, which stuck out more and required occasional re-adjustments.

The newer curved antenna on the Lush 4 (left) is much more comfortable than the old Lush 2’s straight antenna (right).

If you find less fullness internally more comfortable, the Lovense Lush Mini is the 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 Vulse is comfortable in bed as long as you like some girth. Though it has some oddities you have to get used to.

Lovense Vulse and Lelo Hula Beads
The Lelo Hula Beads (right) have an odd shape that does not fit comfortably for me. But the size of the Vulse (left) fits well and stays in place.

In bed, it feels more natural than the Lelo Hula Beads for me: it settles into the right spot, and importantly – it slides up high enough that it does not press uncomfortably against my vaginal opening.

It still provides a bit of a stretch and bladder pressure like other eggs of this size, so it’s best for those who enjoy some girth, or prefer shorter sessions.

Lovense Vulse and Lush 4 Antenna Comparison
The curved antenna of the newer Lush models, like the Lush 4 (right) is more comfortable than the straight antenna of the Vulse (left).

When moving around, the straight (but flexible) antenna can be annoying, especially when walking or lying on my stomach. I prefer the curved, form-fitting antennas of the newer Lush models like the Lush 4, because they don’t tap unpredictably against my clit or stick out as much. And I personally find the thrusting motion more ditracting than enjoyable when walking around so I still prefer vibration-only eggs for that.

If you prioritize comfort, the Lovense Lush Mini is my favorite egg because it’s smaller and doesn’t press as much against my bladder. And the curved antenna fits snug against my body.

But if you want a motion-based toy, the Lovense Vulse is reasonably comfortable in bed and while moving.

The Lovense Lush 4 is quiet, and a slight improvement over the old Lush 3 and Lush 2. Its vibrations are a cleaner hum than the slightly more grating sound quality the older Lushes had on certain settings.

On low power, it measured at our 35 dBA ambient floor – too quiet for our sound level meter to pick up. On high, it reached about 45 dBA, which is still quiet.

It also performed well in our Background Noise Masking test. While I wore the Lush 4, my partner listened from three feet away as we played pink noise at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes. He couldn’t hear the Lush 4 at any power level under any of the three background-noise levels. Without any background audio, it is audible in the same room – but that was true of every wearable vibrator we tested.

Behind a closed bedroom door, the Lush 4 was fully discreet in our test. For this part of the test I use it handheld in bed rather than wearing it, which gives a more conservative result since wearing the toy dampens sound. My partner couldn’t hear the Lush 4 from the other side of the door at any power level.

The Lovense Vulse is louder than any of my other egg vibrators, so it’s not a great option if discretion is important to you.

The issue is the high-pitched thrusting motor. The back and forth motion creates an inconsistent sound that’s much more noticeable than the consistent, lower-pitched hum of vibration-only eggs like the Lovense Lush 4.

In our Background Noise Masking testing, I wore the Vulse while my partner listened from three feet away with pink noise playing at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes. The Vulse’s low power was masked in every condition, but middle power was still audible with quiet and moderate background noise, and high power stayed audible even with our loudest masking audio.

I also have my partner listen from behind a closed bedroom door, while I use the vibrator in bed. My partner could hear the Vulse’s high power, and could still barely hear it when I turned a box fan on in the bedroom. Music was the only thing that masked it.

The Lovense Lush 4 is quieter than the Vulse.

The Vulse’s noise is quieter than the demo video above once worn, but certainly still loud. If you’re easily annoyed by sound or need something quiet, the Lovense Lush 4 is the better option.

The Lush 4 has a long battery life. In our test it lasted 120 minutes continuously vibrating on its top setting.

Lovense lists battery life as “up to 350 minutes,” but that’s clearly not at the maximum power we test at. Since during most sessions, you typically will use lower and middle levels too, your actual runtime will usually land longer than the two hours from our test.

That’s great for an egg vibrator – well above the Lush Mini’s ~65 minutes.

The Vulse has a sub-par battery life of about 60 minutes at max power in our testing. That is enough for most use in the bedroom, but short if you plan to wear it around. Egg vibrators designed to wear around typically last longer.

If you prioritize extended wear or often forget to charge between uses, the Lovense Lush 4 lasts twice as long.

Lovense Lush 4 Build Quality

The Lush 4 feels well-built and durable. I can’t comment on its long-term lifespan yet since it’s a newer toy, but I have some confidence in Lovense’s Lush line overall. I’ve had the Lush 2 since 2020 and the Lush 3 since 2021, and both still work normally. Since the Lush 4 feels similarly solid, 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 Vulse feels well built. It is covered in smooth silicone, the antenna feels sturdy, and the thrusting motor holds up to pressure without slowing or stalling.

The high-pitch of the thrusting motor can be annoying and doesn’t necessarily sound high-quality. But I’ve owned this toy since 2023, and it continues to operate as expected.
