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 NS Novelties Techno Rave 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 Rave’s G-spot motor power, range, and rumbliness in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Rave’s G-spot stimulation is workable but well behind the more rumbly eggs. Power is decent and transfer is solid for an egg this slim, but the vibrations stay extremely buzzy at every setting, and the range covers only three moderately strong settings – nothing gentle or extreme.

If stim quality is your priority, go with the more rumbly VeDO Kiwi at about $14 more, or the stronger, polished Lovense Lush 4 for about $80 more. Stick with the Rave if savings matters more to you than rumbliness and range.

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 Techno Rave’s G-spot motor reaches a top power of 7 out of 10 – decent raw power, but the vibrations are also extremely buzzy, which keeps them from feeling as full and deep as strong more rumbly eggs like the VeDO Kiwi or the Lovense Lush 4 do.

The range is very narrow. The Rave has only three power levels and the they all sit between 6.75 and 7 out of 10 vibration strength. There’s no gentle warmup settings and barely any difference between low, medium, and high. Most eggs offer much wider power ranges.

Transfer to the G-spot is good. The shape does put some pressure against the front wall where you want it, and the snug fit holds it in good contact through movement. But the buzzy vibrations don’t travel as deep as more rumbly vibrations do.

At a barely higher price, the VeDO Kiwi has far better vibration strength, range, and transfer. Or for the strongest vibrations consider the Lovense Lush 4.

Rumbliness & Power Balance 8.6 4.7
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.

The Techno Rave’s vibrations are extremely buzzy. Across all three power levels.

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 to reach more nerve-rich regions, and lower-frequency rumbly vibrations travel through your body much more effectively.

I found that vibes above 120 Hz tends to dissipate a lot of intensity (even if the motor is strong). And the Rave’s 150 Hz median sits well into that range.

Side View of the NS Novelties Techno Rave
Even though the Rave’s vibrations are so buzzy, the contoured bump of the design delivers these vibes decently to the G-spot.

What partially saves the Rave’s G-spot stimulation is the egg’s shape. Once inserted, the motor presses well against the front vaginal wall, and the physical pressure delivers some of the buzz directly to the G-spot – enough that, for me, the vibrations are still noticeable and enjoyable. But even with the pressure compensation, the Rave doesn’t carry the depth or fullness that more rumbly eggs produce.

For G-spot vibrations that actually travel deep, the Kiwi (remote controlled) is the most rumbly option at about $14 more or the app-controlled Lovense Lush 4 is also more rumbly than the Rave.


App Control: Main Takeaways

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

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

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Love Spouse app’s features are basic and spammy but functional. The core controls (selecting the preset intensities and patterns) work, but the rest of the app is cluttered with broken extras and ads you should just avoid. But the connectivity is actually excellent. At this budget price point the Techno Rave is the best app experience you’ll find for an egg vibrator.

If you want a feature-rich app and the best connectivity available, go with the Lovense Lush 4 for about $80 more – Lovense’s app is the best of any brand. If basic, working app control on a budget is enough, the Rave’s app does the core job.

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.

Lovense Lush 4 Remote Screen
The Remote screen and control options in the Lovense app.

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 Lush Sound Mode Minimum Decibel

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 Lush Music Mode

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 – the most limited close-range app experience of any egg vibrator I’ve tested. The core constant-intensity control works, so if all you need is an app to step through your toy’s three preset power levels, 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 Lush 4 if you care about greater customization.

NS Novelties Techno Rave App vs Lovense Lush 4 App
The Rave’s app (left) is basic and spammy, while the Lush 4’s Lovense app provides excellent, detailed control and a cleaner interface.

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 intensities – the rest are its preset patterns.

LoveSpouse App Classic Mode
The LoveSpouse app’s Classic Mode is the most useful part of the app.

That’s the entire intensity-control system – three stepped levels rather than the continuous slider better apps offer. If you want to dial in a feel between low and medium, you can’t; you’re locked into the three steps the toy ships with.

The modes also aren’t descriptively labeled – there’s no “Low” / “Medium” / “Waves” / “Pulses” naming or icon, just the numbers – so you (or a partner controlling your toy) can’t tell what a mode feels like without trying each one. If you just memorize that 1, 2, and 3 are the constant power levels, that’s most of what you’ll need from this app.

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 across the screen to control intensity – but the response is so inconsistent that after ten minutes I still couldn’t figure out how it’s supposed to work, and the vibrations stop the moment you lift your finger.

LoveSpouse App Draw Something
The LoveSpouse app’s Draw Something feature.

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 audio from your phone – and the vibrations don’t really match the music anyway. Game Mode and a Shaking mode (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 intensity levels or selecting a preset pattern, the Lovense Lush 4 has a much better app for about $80 more. The Lovense Remote app is the best of any brand. If basic, working app control on a budget is enough, the Rave’s app does the core job – just with more clutter to ignore.

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 Love Spouse app’s long-distance features are also basic and spammy, but functional for simple partner control.

Your long-distance partner controls the Rave with the same Mode 1 through Mode 9 preset panel you have during close-range play, with the same limitations: three constant intensities and six unlabeled patterns, no live pattern creation, no slider, no descriptive previews.

Getting into a call is easiest if both of you own Love Spouse-enabled toys. After connecting your own toy, you can use “Friend Control” to add your partner, invite them to control the toy, and start a video call. If only one partner owns a toy, the call option is harder to find: you have to go through the spammy “Wodl” menu, then use the small message icon in the top left to access your friends list.

Once you’re in, the video call itself is pretty good. Video quality is strong on decent internet, your view of your partner fills most of the screen, and the toy controls stay accessible without completely blocking the video feed. Both partners can control each other’s vibes during the call.

LoveSpouse Video Call View
The view during a LoveSpouse video call.

The call controls are limited, though. You can flip the camera, switch to speaker, or end the call, but you can’t turn off your camera or mute your mic. There is also an in-call messaging feature, but it is not worth using because messages cover the video feed and remain on screen for the rest of the call.

Texting during toy control is especially poor. Messages appear in a tiny corner window, overflow onto similar-colored buttons, cut off mid-word, and are not saved in chat history. There is a separate full chat with media sharing and message history, but it only works when you are not sharing toy control, which makes it much less useful for long-distance play.

Love Spouse does include anonymous play, similar to higher-end apps like Lovense, but it is locked behind a paywall.

If long-distance play is a major priority for you, the Lovense Lush 4 is a far better choice – its app gives your partner rich control in long-distance mode, with a clean interface that works well. For basic control over your partner’s vibrations during a video call, the Techno Rave can work fine.

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 NS Novelties Techno Rave has excellent app connectivity for nearby use and reliable long-distance control, as long as both partners keep the Love Spouse app open.

Pairing is mostly automatic. The first time, you’ll need to enter a four-digit binding code from the instruction manual, which is annoying but only required once – so don’t throw away the manual before pairing. After that, the toy auto-connects whenever you open the app and turn the toy on.

One Love Spouse quirk is that any powered-on Love Spouse toy nearby will auto-connect to any phone running the app, and all connected toys respond to the same vibration commands. For couples who both own Love Spouse toys, this means either partner can control both toys at once. Some couples may enjoy that; others may prefer more independent control.

For close-range Bluetooth control, the Techno Rave is very reliable. In our standardized stress tests – including timed control, locking and unlocking the phone, switching apps, and navigating around the app – the Rave had zero command failures. Commands went through when expected, and the connection held through normal phone use.

It also performed well in our body-interference testing. Because water-rich body tissue can weaken Bluetooth signals more than clothing or walls, we test each toy in increasingly difficult body-blocked positions. The Rave held its connection the entire time.

Open-air Bluetooth range is also excellent. With a clear line of sight, the Rave stayed connected up to about 325 feet before dropping. That is far more than most people need for solo or same-room partner play, and it gives the toy a comfortable buffer for real-world situations where walls or body interference may reduce range.

Long-distance control is reliable too, with one important limitation. The toy connects to the wearer’s phone over Bluetooth, while the two phones communicate over Wi-Fi or cell data. When both partners have a decent signal and keep the app active, sessions stay connected, commands go through reliably, and switching between Wi-Fi and cell data works smoothly.

However, if the toy-wearer locks their phone or switches to another app, the controlling partner temporarily loses control. The session stays active, and the toy keeps running at its last setting, but vibration changes won’t go through until the wearer returns to the Love Spouse app. Better long-distance apps, like Lovense’s, allow partner control to continue through normal phone behavior like screen-locking.

NS Novelties Techno Rave App vs Lovense Lush 4 App
The Lush 4 (right) works more reliably with the app than the Rave (right) if you want the absolute best.

Overall, the Techno Rave’s connectivity is excellent for nearby play and solid for long-distance use if both partners keep the app open. But if you want long-distance control that works without coordinating around the app staying active, the Lovense Lush 4 is a better choice.


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:

On-Toy Control Comfort 10.0 N/A

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.

Like most egg vibrators, the Rave’s on-toy controls are limited by design – the toy is inserted during use, so you’ll typically use the app.

A single button cycles through three constant power levels and the six vibration patterns – Modes 1 through 9 from the app. There’s no minus button, so dropping back to a lower power means cycling through everything else first. You also can’t adjust the intensity of the patterns.

The button is on the end of the antenna, so you don’t have to remove the toy to press it (some eggs have the button on the toy’s body). The raised texture is easy to find by feel and has a clear click feel.

The on-toy button works fine as a backup, or if you’ll occasionally use the egg like a handheld vibe on your clit, but the app is the main way you’ll use the Rave.

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.

When wearing the Rave, for me it naturally settles slightly to one side rather than feeling like it’s centered. For me that doesn’t reduce the stimulation. And once it’s in place, it doesn’t shift at all from that spot no matter how active I’m being. Pulling firmly on the antenna is the only way to remove it.


Comfort


Comfort Rating 7.4 8.0
In Bed 7.4 8.0
Light Activity 7.4 8.0

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.

Lovense Lush 4 and Lovense Lush Mini
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 Techno Rave is a very comfortable egg – slim, with a flexible antenna, and equally comfortable whether you’re in bed or moving around the house.

The smaller size of the Rave (left) keeps it comfortable for longer periods compared to larger eggs like the Satisfyer Ribbed Petal (right).

The smaller size means I don’t feel much pressure on my bladder or against my vaginal entrance once it’s inserted. The antenna pull cord is comfortable and flexible, and sits against my body without getting in the way. It does transfer some of the motor’s vibration up the cord, which can register as a mild tickle if you’re sensitive to it – I find it noticeable but not distracting. It’s not stimulating, just a bit tickly.

When walking around the house, the size doesn’t restrict my movement and the antenna stays in a comfortable spot. The vibrations in the antenna are also less noticeable when walking than sitting.

It’s a good option for comfort on a budget. But the Lovense Lush Mini is one of my favorite small eggs because it’s more stimulating while remaining extra comfortable.

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 Rave is one of the most discreet wearable vibrators I’ve tested. It is extremely quiet, fully masked by normal background noise, and inaudible through a closed door.

In our decibel test, the Rave was too quiet for our sound level meter to register on both low and high power. The room’s ambient noise was 35 dBA, and the Rave never measured above that.

It also passed our background-noise masking test. While I wore the toy, my partner listened from three feet away as we played pink noise at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes – 56, 62, and 68 dBA. He couldn’t hear the Rave at any vibration strength. However, like every wearable vibrator I’ve tested, it is still audible in a fully silent room.

For the closed-door test, my partner listened from outside the bedroom while I used the Rave in bed. I held it like a handheld toy instead of wearing it, since wearing can dampen sound and handheld use gives a more conservative result. He couldn’t hear it on any power level.


Battery Life

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 Rave ran for 95 minutes on its highest power setting in our test, which is solid for a budget egg. Most eggs at this price last closer to an hour. However, it still falls short of higher-end eggs, which often run for two hours or more per charge.

The Lovense Lush 4 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.

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 Rave’s build quality is decent for a budget egg. The silicone body is silky smooth against the skin, and nothing about the toy itself feels easily breakable. But the antenna pull cord is slim and limp, which leaves me a bit nervous about how it’ll hold up over time, though I haven’t seen any performance issues so far.
