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 Niki’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Niki is one of the most stimulating panty vibrators and one of the few I can orgasm with hands-free. It’s strong, transfers the vibes where they should go, and is the most rumbly panty vibe I’ve tested. If you value raw power most, go with the stronger Lovense Ferri. If strong, rumbly vibrations matter more, go with the Niki.

The Niki’s clit motor hits a top power of 8.0 out of 10 – great power, but not the strongest panty vibrator out there. Both the Lovense Ferri and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are stronger on high power, though both are also noticeably buzzier than the Niki. Where the Niki stands out isn’t raw power, though – it’s that the broad, flexible, curved design delivers that power to your body unusually well – essential for good stimulation in a hands-free toy. Among panty vibrators, only the Ferri transfers more of its motor’s strength to the clit.

For me, the Niki’s 8.0 top strength is enough power to orgasm hands-free. If top vibration strength is your main priority, go with the Ferri – but the Niki is plenty powerful for most people.

The Niki has six power levels spanning a wide range, from a very gentle 1.0 for warmup up to 8.0 at the top. That low end matters more with a wearable than with a handheld because you can’t just lift a panty vibrator off your body when things start feeling too intense – it’s nice to be able to dial down without reaching to pull the toy out of place.

Vibration transfer is where the Niki really stands out from most panty vibes. With a handheld you can position the vibrator exactly where you want it and just press harder to make the vibes feel more intense; with most wearables, you can’t, so the toy’s shape has to naturally transfer the vibrations where they should go. And the Niki’s shape does that well – its broad, flexible, curved design stays consistently in contact with my body transferring the vibrations right to my clit.

I wear it two different ways: with the top near my clit and the back end toward my vagina, or my preferred “upside-down” way with the top just under my clit and the rest of the toy wrapped up around my pubic bone. The vibrations transfer really well either way, but the toy stays even tighter to my body with the upside-down method.

The Niki’s curve also lets you press harder when you want to for more stimulation – something flat panty vibes can’t do. When you’re sitting, you can shift your weight against the end of the toy that’s opposite your clit. The surface pushes against the base and the curve tilts the clit end to press more firmly into you making the vibes feel stronger. It’s the closest a hands-free wearable gets to the better pressure control of a handheld.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer rumbly. But it’s a personal preference, and some people like buzzy vibrations more.

The Niki is the most rumbly panty vibrator we’ve tested. Every other panty vibrator I’ve tested – the Lovense Ferri, We-Vibe Moxie+, NS Novelties Techno Lucy, and Romp Party – center around around the moderately or extremely buzzy frequency range. The Niki is the only one with a primarily rumbly clit motor.

The Niki’s lowest settings are extremely rumbly, the middle settings stay moderately rumbly, and only the very top setting feels neutral – never becoming buzzy. All the other panty vibrators we’ve tested become buzzy on their top settings. The Niki’s rumbliness has real power behind it too – the motor is strong as well as deep.

If rumbliness is what you want from a panty vibrator, the Niki is the best choice – no other panty vibrator I’ve tested comes close. If you care more about raw power than rumbliness, the Ferri is excellent – it’s less rumbly, but it’s stronger with excellent vibration transfer, and I can orgasm hands-free from it just as easily as from the Niki.

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 VeDo Niki 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.

The VeDo Niki isn’t controlled through an app. App control lets you create custom patterns, control multiple motors or toys, play long-distance, and lets a controlling partner see exactly what your toy is doing. If that matters to you, see our app-controlled recommendations in these guides:

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

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.

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 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 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 Niki’s remote features and connectivity.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Niki has one of the better panty-vibe remotes – reliable connection, quick response, and fast, direct power buttons. Its main limitations are typical of remotes versus apps: less partner feedback and shorter range. Go with the Lovense Ferri for app control, but the Niki has great remote control, which can be nice if you don’t want you or a partner to be tied to a phone.

The Niki’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 – you can move forward and backward through the six power levels with dedicated + and – buttons. Pattern navigation uses a single-button cycle loop – clicking forward through the nine patterns one at a time, with no way to go backward to a previous pattern. In practice this doesn’t matter that much, since most people stay on steady vibrations rather than cycling through patterns. You can also adjust the intensity of each pattern.

The remote is comfortable to hold, but the buttons themselves are less tactile than the best panty-vibe remotes – they’re not raised enough to tell which is which by feel, so I have to look at the remote to find the right button – something you get used to as you use the remote more.

Like most remotes, the Niki’s gives your partner just a faint blink when you press a button – no way to tell what setting your toy is on. That’s fine if you’re using the Niki yourself and many partners won’t mind. Others find it less engaging when they can’t tell what your toy is doing and what you’re actually feeling. An app-controlled panty vibe gives your partner real-time visuals of the toy’s vibrations, which makes controlling it feel more engaging. If that’s a priority for you, the Lovense Ferri is the best app-controlled panty vibe, and Lovense has the best app of any brand.

The Niki’s remote connectivity is excellent, though its maximum range lands in the middle of the pack.

Body tissue between a remote and toy is typically the main thing that breaks a remote’s signal during partner control, but the Niki holds up well to this. Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Niki holds a stable connection through all of them. Our test runs harsher than typical real-world conditions, so partner-controlled play 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 theres no reconnection routine required when starting to play – the remote is always connected.

The remote reaches about 60 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 this gives you enough flexibility for most activities, and especially any same-room use. If you need an especially long range, many app-controlled toys stay connected farther – for instance, the Lovense Ferri stayed connected until 190 feet in our same test.

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 wearable vibrators the Niki’s on-toy controls are limited by design, since you’ll typically use the remote to control it. There’s a single button that cycles through a steady vibration and nine patterns – all at one fixed intensity. To use the toy’s full six-level power range, you need the remote.

The button itself has a subtle feel and sits further back on the toy, so it takes some reaching to press if for some reason you want to change settings without the remote. When you do press the button, the toy’s broad, flexible shape keeps the pressure comfortable against your body. The on-toy button works as a backup, but the remote is the main way you’ll use the Niki.

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.

In my experience the Niki stays securely in the ideal place when wearing it in bed and during normal everyday activity like walking or going up and down stairs – but it shifts more during heavy movement like running or jumping.

The Niki’s broad, flexible, curved design contours to your body, so it stays snug and doesn’t shift during light activity the way some slimmer or straight panty vibrators can. It’s also secured to your underwear by a magnet – essential for any panty vibrator to fit securely. The Niki’s magnet is on the weaker side compared to other panty vibrators, but in normal wear that’s not really an issue – the form-fitting shape prevents the kind of shifting, tilting, or movement that would pull the magnet off, and the magnet itself is slim and form-fitted to the toy so it doesn’t get bumped off easily. The magnet can come loose when you actively re-position the toy in your underwear, but otherwise has stayed attached for me.

Heavy activity is not as good. When running, the toy bounces on landings and the stimulation briefly pulls away before gravity returns it. With jumping jacks, it slid further down in my underwear, and I had to adjust the placement afterward. It never fell out, but during vigorous movement the form-fitting shape can’t fully prevent the toy from shifting, and the relatively weak magnet doesn’t pick up the slack the way a stronger one can.

If you specifically want a panty vibrator that holds securely under intense movement, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy holds up better. Otherwise, the Niki’s fit is reliable for the way most people will actually use it.

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 Niki is one of the most comfortable panty vibrators I’ve tested, and the comfort holds up just as well when I’m moving around as it does lying in bed.

That’s less common than you’d expect. Most panty vibrators are noticeably less comfortable during light activity than lying down – mostly because toys can poke or apply uneven pressure when walking – but not for the Niki. The Niki’s broad, flexible, curved shape distributes pressure evenly across my body, so there’s no digging in, no pinching when I close my legs, and no uncomfortable tapping when I move. It blankets the area rather than pressing into a single spot.

One wear note: I find the Niki most comfortable when worn upside-down (so the charging port end is facing upward), with the toy’s curve wrapping up around my pubic bone. The reverse orientation is still great, but “upsidown” is slightly more comfortable and stimulating for me.

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 VeDO Niki is a very quiet panty vibrator – one of the areas it outperforms the Lovense Ferri a bit. Decibel readings on both low and high power were too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to pick up on – the ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and the Niki never measured higher than this.

It’s in the most discreet group of wearables I’ve tested for our Background Noise Masking subtest. I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away and we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). My partner couldn’t hear the Niki at any vibration strength under any of our three tested volumes of background noise. It is definitely audible in our room without any background audio playing – but every wearable vibrator I’ve tested is audible in a fully silent room, no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.

For our closed-bedroom-door test, my partner stands directly outside the bedroom while I use the toy in bed. I use it like a handheld toy since wearing dampens sound, and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around – holding it instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. My partner couldn’t hear the Niki on its low or middle power levels. He could just barely hear it on high in our completely silent house – pretty faint, and easily masked by cars passing by outside. When I re-checked while actually wearing the Niki, the sound was significantly dampened and he couldn’t hear it on any setting.

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 Niki has a short battery life. It lasted 55 minutes continuously running at its highest power during our test – below the higher-end panty vibrators. Since you’ll use the Niki’s lower power levels too, your real-use runtime will likely be longer.

If long battery life is a priority, go with the Lovense Ferri – it lasted 168 minutes during our test, about three times the Niki’s runtime.

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.

Cleaning the Niki is straightforward in practice, but our rating is conservative because we couldn’t confirm the toy’s exact waterproof status. VeDO lists it as “splashproof – suitable for shower” on their site, which usually corresponds to an IPX5 or IPX6 rating. Products with those ratings are safe to clean under a running faucet or use in the shower, but IPX4 products (which are also sometimes called “splashproof”) are not. We emailed VeDO to confirm the exact IPX rating and didn’t hear back, so we rated the Niki’s cleaning based on not being able to run it under a faucet.

In practice I do run most of the Niki under a faucet without being especially careful, just keeping water away from the charging port and wiping that area with a cloth. I haven’t encountered any issues.

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 Niki feels well-built. It’s coated in smooth silicone with a small plastic section around the charging port, and the toy’s slight flex feels sturdy and adds to its comfort. I’ve had mine since 2021 and it’s continued to operate as expected. The plastic remote is very lightweight and cheap-feeling, but it functions well.
