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.

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.

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Little Secret has the weakest clit motor of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, so I don’t find it stimulating at all.

If hands-free clit stimulation is your priority, go with the Lovense Ferri – same price, and roughly ten times the Little Secret’s top power. Or the VeDO Niki (remote-only) if you’re on a budget or you really prioritize rumbliness.

The Little Secret has the weakest clit motor of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, with a top power of just 0.80 out of 10. Even its sibling Satisfyer Sexy Secret – which is also too weak – hits more than three times that strength at the top.

The panty vibrators I can actually orgasm with hands-free, like the Lovense Ferri, NS Novelties Techno Lucy, and VeDO Niki, all reach roughly ten times the Little Secret’s top power.

The vibrations aren’t even stimulating if I use it like a handheld toy and press it into me. Its full power range – from a barely-there 0.50 at the bottom up to that 0.80 at the top – is so narrow that the motor barely changes between its lowest and highest settings.

The fit does its job well enough, at least in bed. The broad, plush silicone arm contours well to my body and stays in firm contact, so what little strength the motor produces reaches my clit. But what reaches me feels tickly – more like a slight tease than anything stimulating.

Consider the Lovense Ferri or VeDO Niki (remote-controlled) for stronger vibrations.

We rate panty vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because rumbly is what most people prefer – but it’s a personal preference.

The Little Secret is very buzzy. Its median frequency is moderately buzzy at 101 Hz, and it climbs to an extremely buzzy 122 Hz on high. The buzziness combined with low power makes them feel tickly and surface level.

Most panty vibrators actually lean buzzy, but many have enough power to still feel impactful. For instance, the Lovense Ferri is also buzzy, but its strength makes it the one I can orgasm with most easily.

If you specifically prefer rumbly vibrations, the VeDO Niki is a better option. It’s the only panty vibrator I’ve tested centered in the rumbly range (66 Hz at the median) and it has great power too.

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.

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.

Like all panty vibrators, the Satisfyer Little Secret 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 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.

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 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.

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.

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 Little Secret’s app features and its connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion:

Satisfyer Connect is the closest second to Lovense’s app with minor tradoffs. Connectivity is reliable for solo use and great for long-distance. But the bluetooth signal struggles when there’s a lot of your body between the phone and the toy. This happens more often when letting a nearby partner control your toy from certain angles.

Unfortunately, the low power negates the benefits of the app. It’s actually less expensive to go with the Lovense Ferri – the absolute best app and panty vibrator I’ve tested.

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.

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 Satisfyer Connect app has great close-range features – second only to Lovense’s. The Little Secret uses the same app as the Satisfyer Sexy Secret, so the close-range experience is identical.

The best feature is Live Control, which lets you control steady vibration or draw a custom pattern from the same screen. Swipe up or down to adjust intensity, or draw a looped pattern that repeats. There’s also a Boost button for a 30-second burst at high power.

The main downside is precision. Compared to Lovense, Satisfyer makes it harder to see the exact strength level, so partner control feels less clear. It also takes more swiping to reach your preferred intensity.

Satisfyer’s pattern creation tools are strong. You can draw a real-time loop, save a full vibration session as a reusable pattern, or use On-Screen Sketch to draw and preview a 5-second waveform before saving. The real-time loop tool sometimes simplifies what you draw, but the Sketch mode gives much better control.

The preset pattern library is also solid. There are lots of built-in patterns, community-shared patterns, waveform previews, and a Sequences feature that lets you play several patterns back-to-back. However, the library feels cluttered because many default patterns are similar, and the icons don’t always match how the pattern actually feels.

Satisfyer also includes synced audio features like Remotyca Stories and High Touch Meditation. Remotyca Stories pairs erotic audio with vibration patterns that usually start gentler and ramp up toward the end. It’s a fun feature if you like erotic audio, but browsing is frustrating because you can’t filter by specific fantasies or tags, and the search tool is weak. High Touch Meditation works similarly, but with guided meditations instead of erotica.

The weaker features are Music Vibes and Ambient Sound. Music Vibes responds okay during softer parts of a song, but fuller music usually turns into a mostly steady vibration. Ambient Sound reacts to noise around you, but the controls are too limited: Satisfyer combines sound sensitivity and vibration intensity into one slider, instead of separating them like Lovense does.

Overall, Satisfyer Connect is the closest app to Lovense for close-range control. But if you want the best panty vibrator with the strongest app features, the Lovense Ferri is still the better choice – especially because the Little Secret itself is not stimulating enough.

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 Satisfyer Connect app’s long-distance experience is good too – again the closest second to Lovense’s. As with close-range, the Little Secret runs on the same Satisfyer Connect app as the Satisfyer Sexy Secret, so the long-distance experience is the same.

During a long-distance session, your partner uses the same Live Control screen they’d use during nearby Bluetooth play. They get the same intensity adjustment controls, Loop function for drawing real-time patterns, and waveform display so they can see what you’re feeling. The one slight reduction from close-range is that there’s no prompt to save patterns at the end of a long-distance session like there is during close-range play.

You can share control of your toy with or without video and voice.

Getting into a call is easy. There’s a clear accept/reject popup, all the standard controls are there (mute, camera toggle, switch front/rear, end), and locking the phone or backgrounding the app doesn’t drop the connection – the camera freezes but the toy keeps vibrating, and everything resumes smoothly when I unlock my phone again.

The main downside is what the screen looks like during the call. The app paints a light blue or pink gradient over the feed to indicate the toy’s power, which is distracting if you want to see your partner clearly, and can’t be removed. Lovense handles the same controls more gracefully – minimizable, no color-tint – so for couples where visual clarity matters, Satisfyer’s video feed is a real downgrade.

Messaging during a session works well (easy back-and-forth, partner gets notified), but the media tools are limited: photos only, no video clips, no voice recordings, and no screenshot-disable for privacy. Lovense’s app does all three.

Satisfyer is also missing a few of the partner-side controls Lovense has: no max-intensity cap, or setting to control what the toy does on a Bluetooth disconnect (Lovense lets you pick between stopping for discretion or keeping the vibrations going for smoother continuity). There’s no anonymous control or social matching either.

If long-distance play with the cleanest video and richest partner tools is your priority, the Lovense Ferri is a better option.

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.

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 Little Secret’s app connectivity is reliable for solo, and long-distance play. But the signal can be unreliable under a lot of body interference like often happens when letting a nearby partner control your toy. If outstanding connectivity is important, consider the Lovense Ferri instead.

Pairing the Little Secret is typically quick and easy. The very first time takes a couple of seconds (hold the toy’s button until it vibrates twice, then select it from the toys list when it shows up). After that, the app auto-connects when you turn the toy on – which works reliably as long as your phone was the last one connected to it.

If it doesn’t (auto-connect usually only fails after I’ve used a different phone with the toy in between) you typically have to hold the toy’s button for about 10 seconds until you feel several quick pulses to reset it, then re-pair. If that still fails, you may have to “forget device” in your phone’s Bluetooth settings and try again. Tedious, but it gets you back in every time and is typically only necessary if you connect multiple different phones to the toy.

If the connection drops mid-session, reconnection is automatic when the signal returns cleanly. However, when signal is only partially blocked rather than fully gone (say I shift my body and the connection degrades without dropping outright) the app can freeze instead of auto-reconnecting. The fix is to force-close the app and reopen; the toy is typically already paired by the time it loads back up, so control resumes right away. (Avoid tapping “Connect Now” in the disconnect popup – that routes you into a manual screen you’ll need to exit.) Once you know the move it’s not too disruptive, but is still annoying.

Commands go through reliably when I’m controlling my own toy. And the Little Secret can handle light to moderate body interference like happens when a partner is controlling your toy while facing you or at a slight angle. But it drops connection when body interference is more substantial.

Water-rich materials like body tissue can significantly dampen bluetooth signals – moreso than clothes or typical walls. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively harder positions: the Little Secret holds a stable connection at the first two but loses it at the third, most severe angle.

Its sister product, the Satisfyer Sexy Secret and their egg vibrator (the Satisfyer Petal), all struggle under some body interference so this looks like a Satisfyer-hardware pattern rather than a Little Secret-specific defect. The Lovense Ferri holds a stable connection at all three positions, which is important if a partner will be controlling your toy from another room or with a lot of your body in the way.

Bluetooth range came in around 145 feet in our open-air test (measured with a clear line-of-sight). That’s plenty for partner control across a normal house, but keep in mind that body interference at certain angles will make your real distance shorter.

The long-distance connection is great.

Session start is fast and reliable. There’s a clear Remote Play tab where you send your partner a control or video request; the request shows up wherever they are in the app, and pushes a notification if their phone is locked (you can turn notifications off if you don’t want them).

Sessions don’t drop unexpectedly, commands consistently go through, and the app handles real-world phone behavior gracefully – locking my phone, switching to another app, or backgrounding Satisfyer Connect doesn’t disrupt the session. The app handles switching between Wi-Fi and cell data mid-call smoothly too.

The connection works in two parts: the toy talks to your phone over Bluetooth (the same as during nearby play), and your phone talks to your partner’s phone over Wi-Fi or cell data. Since during a long-distance call, your phone right by you is the one connected to your toy’s bluetooth, the body interference issue doesn’t really come into play. So as long as your cell data or Wi-Fi is decent, the long-distance connection works well.

If a reliable connection through any situation matters most, the Lovense Ferri is a better option. For solo control, partnered control from angles without much of your body in the way, and long-distance play, the Little Secret’s connectivity holds up well.

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:

• best remote and app-controlled vibrators (all types of vibrators)
• best wearable vibrators (wearables only).

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Little Secret’s remote features and connectivity.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Little Secret’s remote is easy to use, with a reliable connection. But the toy’s motor is simply too weak for that to matter.

If you want a great remote-controlled panty vibrator with stimulation worth controlling, go with the VeDO Niki.

The Little Secret’s remote is great, with a few minor downsides – most of which are typical of remotes compared to apps.

Power control is fast and direct – dedicated + and − buttons let you move forward and backward through three power levels separate from patterns so you’re never stuck cycling through a ton of settings to step the intensity back down.

The 7 patterns are on a separate single-button cycle loop, and you can adjust the intensity of each of them.

The remote’s comfort is just decent. It’s a thin, flat rectangle, so it doesn’t sit in my hand as nicely as some remotes, but it’s not uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the buttons aren’t easy to use without looking. They’re flat, hard to feel, and you can hardly feel the click, with an unintuitive button layout. You’ll likely need to look at the remote while using.

Like most remotes, partner feedback is limited. The Little Secret gives your partner just a faint blink when they press a button – no indicator of what setting the toy is on, or even whether the toy is currently running (the light blinks the same way whether the toy is on or off).

That’s fine if you’re using the remote yourself, and many partners won’t mind. But if you want a partner to actually know what your toy is doing while controlling it, apps are better than remotes in that way.

The Little Secret’s remote connectivity is excellent, with less issues from body interference compare to the app.

Body tissue between the remote and the toy is the main thing that often breaks a remote’s signal during partner control – your body sits in the signal path between your partner’s remote and the toy.

Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Little Secret holds a stable connection through all of them – meaningfully more reliable than the Satisfyer Connect app on the same scenario, which drops the connection at the most severe angle. Our test also runs harsher than typical real-world conditions, so partner-controlled play through the remote should stay reliable in practice.

Button presses register with barely any delay – the toy reacts the moment my finger leaves the button, keeping the rhythm of play intact. And there’s no reconnection routine required when starting to play; the remote is always connected.

The remote reaches about 50 feet in our open-air range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. This is middle-of-the-road for the wearable vibrators’ remotes we tested, and real-world range will likely be shorter once objects and body interference come in. But the Little Secret has comfortable headroom for most activities, and especially any same-room use.

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.

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 panty vibrators, the Little Secret’s on-toy controls are limited. The toy sits inside your underwear during use, so you’ll typically use the app or remote.

A single button cycles through three power levels and seven vibration patterns, with the full power range only available in the Satisfyer Connect app. Three power levels keep the cycle short enough to tap through quickly, though I wish patterns weren’t on the same cycle – most people don’t use them, and you have to cycle through all seven patterns to get back to a lower power level.

The button is large and easy to feel without looking. The placement is a little different compared to the Sexy Secret, but the plush surface distributes the pressuren evenly, so clicking it while wearing is reasonably comfortable.

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 Little Secret fits very securely in bed, but the contact with my clit loosens when I’m moving around.

The magnet that anchors the toy to your underwear is decent strength and holds well through fabric. However, it’s not as secure as the Sexy Secret’s larger, more flush magnet. I find the Little Secret’s magnet easier to accidentally knock off compared to the Sexy Secret.

In bed, the Little Secret stays exactly where I put it. The broad, plush silicone arm curves with my body, and the contoured design prevents it from shifting around much, even when my underwear shifts.

While walking or doing anything upright, the toy stays firmly clipped to my underwear, but its pressure against my body loosens. Gravity pulls the underwear (and the toy with it) a bit away from my clit, so the already-gentle vibrations feel even more tickly than they do when I’m sitting or lying down.

If active-wear is a big priority, the Lovense Ferri and NS Novelties Techno Lucy each fit more securely – and are much more stimulating.

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.

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.

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 Little Secret is among the most comfortable panty vibrators I’ve tested – outstanding in bed or when actively moving around.

In bed, the Little Secret essentially melds to my body. The broad clitoral section blankets the area very comfortably. The contoured lower region tucks easily between my legs – it’s the kind of toy I can forget I’m wearing.

While walking or doing anything upright, the form itself stays exceptionally comfortable. The only complaint is that gravity pulls the toy a bit farther from my clit, so the already-gentle vibrations feel even more tickly than they do in bed, and some people may find that tickling sensation uncomfortable.

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 Satisfyer Little Secret is one of the quietest panty vibrators I’ve tested – but only because it’s so weak. For a similarly quiet panty vibrator with much stronger stimulation, go with the NS Novelties Techno Lucy (app-controlled) or VeDO Niki (remote-controlled).

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

The Little Secret is also in the most-discreet group of wearables 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 Little Secret at any vibration strength under any of the three background-noise levels. It’s audible in our room without any pink noise playing – but every wearable I’ve tested is, no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.

For the closed-bedroom-door part of the test, my partner listens directly outside our bedroom while I use the toy in bed. I use it like a handheld toy here, since wearing dampens sound and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around – holding it instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Little Secret on any setting from behind the closed door, with no fan or music needed.

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.

In our test, the Little Secret lasted 167 minutes continuously running at its highest power. That’s among the longest battery lives of any panty vibrator I’ve tested – but it’s only because the motor is too weak to draw much power.

The Lovense Ferri had basically the same runtime in our test (168 minutes) while reaching roughly ten times the Little Secret’s top power.

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.

The Little Secret is fully waterproof (IPX7), so it’s very easy to clean. You can run it under a faucet or submerge the whole toy while scrubbing it with soap and water.

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 Little Secret feels well-built, with one caveat: the magnet protrudes a bit from the back of the toy with a shape that’s easy to accidentally knock off. Its sibling Satisfyer Sexy Secret doesn’t share that vulnerability – its magnet sits at the front of the toy with a wider, more securely-shaped hold.

The weak, tickly vibrations can also feel low quality. But otherwise, the Little Secret seems well-made – soft silicone coats the entire toy. The on-toy button is responsive with a noticeable click, and the whole form is flexible and plush.
