Like all egg vibrators, the Lush Mini only stimulates internally. The external arm is an antenna, not a clit motor. 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 Mini with clitoral stimulation, it makes my orgasms feel much more full.

Like all egg vibrators, the Lovense Vulse only stimulates your G-spot – not your clit. For clit stimulation, a panty vibrator is the better type of wearable for you. See all our recommendations for the best panty vibrators here.

I can’t orgasm even with our strongest G-spot vibrator alone, but when I pair it with clitoral stimulation, it makes my orgasms feel more full.

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Lush Mini is one of the most stimulating egg vibrators I’ve tested. Its G-spot vibrations are among the strongest of any wearable, while starting very gently. Its slim, bulbous shape presses that power right into your G-spot, and it stays deeply rumbly through its low and middle settings.

The slimmer form is more comfortable, and yet the stimulation is similar in strength and rumbliness to the full-size Lovense Lush 4.

If the deepest rumbliness matters most, consider the VeDO Kiwi (remote-controlled). If vibration strength matters more to you, the Lush Mini is better.

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

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

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

The Lovense Lush Mini has strong G-spot vibrations, a wide power range, and a shape that presses that power right into your G-spot.

Its vibrations are among the strongest of any wearable I’ve tested, reaching 9.5 out of 10 at the top – just shy of the full-size Lovense Lush 4 and its older versions, which top out at 10. That’s a small gap that’s hardly noticeable: the Mini still delivers powerful, focused G-spot stimulation, well above what most egg vibrators manage.

The power range is among the widest I’ve tested, too. You can adjust the intensity continuously through the Lovense app in tiny, comfortable increments – from a gentle 0.6 at the lowest setting, great for warming up, up to that strong 9.5 at full strength.

Just as important, the Lush Mini’s shape and fit transfer that power to my G-spot very effectively. With a wearable you can’t press it harder for more intensity the way you can with a handheld – the toy’s design has to get the motor’s strength to the right spot on its own – and the Mini does this well.

Even though it’s smaller than the full-size Lush, its G-spot-focused bump-out still sits right against my front wall and presses right where I need it. I was actually surprised by how similar the stimulation felt even with a smaller size.

The one stimulation-related difference from the larger models is a slightly less-full feel – the slimmer body doesn’t fill you up quite as much. For me that’s a plus, since I don’t love too much girth, and it doesn’t take anything away from the G-spot stimulation. But if a fuller, girthier feel is more stimulating to you, the Lush 4 would be better for you.

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

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

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

The Lovense Lush Mini has great rumbliness for an egg vibrator.

Rumbliness matters more for a G-spot toy than for a clit toy. A clit vibrator sits right against a super sensitive area, where the nerves are easy to reach. But a G-spot toy has to send its vibrations deeper into your body to reach the sensitive nerves along your front wall. Lower-frequency, rumbly vibrations travel through the body better than buzzy ones.

The Lush Mini starts extremely rumbly on its lowest settings and stays deep through the low and middle settings. Like most vibrators, it gets buzzier as you turn the power up – neutral to buzzy settings on the stronger half. But there’s a lot of strength behind those top settings, so they still feel full and impactful rather than the thin, surface-level buzz you get from a weaker toy.

It’s only slightly less rumbly than the larger Lovense Lush 4, and the difference is not really noticeable when wearing it. Only one egg vibrator I’ve tested is meaningfully more rumbly: the VeDO Kiwi. If the deepest possible rumble is your top priority, the Kiwi is better. But it’s remote-only and is less powerful than the Lush Mini.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

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

The Lush Mini’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 Mini 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 quiet 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 Vulse’s app has the best close-range features of any brand.

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

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 Mini’s connectivity with the Lovense app is outstanding. It’s still the most reliable app-controlled brand I’ve tested, in both nearby Bluetooth control and long-distance sessions.

Pairing is quick: the very first time you connect, just tap Add Toy, turn the Lush Mini 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, it stays connected through normal phone use like screen locks, app-switching, and long stretches of inactivity without it dropping. On the rare occasion the signal does drop (say, you walk too far from your phone), it reconnects on its own as soon as you’re back in range, and the app clearly flags a red “Reconnecting…” so a partner controlling your toy is never left guessing whether it’s still working. You can also choose whether the Mini stops or keeps vibrating if the connection drops – handy if you’d rather it go quiet than keep buzzing.

Its Bluetooth range is excellent, too. In our test, it maintained connection up to 365 feet in the open before it dropped – even a touch farther than the full-size Lush 4. Walls and interference will shorten that in normal use, but it’s plenty for a partner to move around freely while controlling your toy nearby.

It also handles body interference very well. Water-rich material like 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.

Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively harder positions, and the Lush Mini holds a stable connection at all three – so a partner can keep reliable control even with a lot of your body in the way. Plenty of wearables (like the Satisfyer Ribbed Petal) lose the connection at the toughest angle; the Lush Mini doesn’t.

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 and then you can switch freely between the two.

For nearby or long-distance play, the Lush Mini’s connectivity is very dependable.

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

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

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

It also handles body interference very well. Body tissue can weaken Bluetooth more than walls or clothing, which is why some egg vibrators work fine for solo control but drop connection when a partner controls them from certain angles. In our body-interference test, the Vulse stayed connected through all three positions, including the hardest one. Other eggs, like the Satisfyer Ribbed Petal lost connection at certain angles.

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

If the Vulse 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.

The Lovense Lush Mini doesn’t include a physical remote control. A remote lets you adjust the toy by feel – without pulling out your phone. Though there’s other downsides like less depth and no visual feedback to help your partner know what your toy’s doing. If you want to consider options with physical remotes, see our recommendations in these guides:

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

• best wearable vibrators (wearables only).

Like most wearable vibrators, the Lush Mini’s on-toy controls are limited by design – you’ll mostly control it through the app. But the Mini has some of the better on-toy controls because you can customize its three on-toy intensity presets from the app’s “Adjust Levels” screen, so even though the button only offers 3 intensity settings, the levels it cycles through can be the ones you actually like to use.

Pressing the button cycles forward through three power levels and four patterns on one shared loop. You can’t step backward, so dropping to a lower power means clicking past the remaining levels and patterns. I’d rather the patterns weren’t in there – most people don’t use them, and they just add clicks when you’re stepping through the power levels.

The button itself is excellent. It sits on the tip of the antenna, so it stays reachable while you’re wearing the Lush Mini, and it’s raised enough to find by feel with a firm, satisfying click. And thankfully, the button is external – unlike eggs that put the button on the body, you never have to pull the Mini out to press it.

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

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

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

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

Once you insert it, it guides itself into place and stays there unless you tug it out with intentional force – just as the full-size Lush models do. A secure fit is an advantage egg vibrators have over other kinds of wearable vibrators: an egg’s bulbous shape holds it easily in place on its own, without the need for any adjustable mechanism.

In bed, rolling and shifting positions it doesn’t budget at all. Walking, stairs, and normal movement around the house didn’t make it pull down with gravity either. Even when I jumped up and down, it stayed put unless I tugged it out intentionally.

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

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

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

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

The Lovense Lush Mini is the most comfortable egg vibrator I’ve worn, whether I’m in bed or moving around the house – one of the main reasons it’s my personal favorite.

It’s smaller than other models, which is the biggest reason it’s comfortable. The slimmer shape doesn’t cause the same fullness and bladder pressure that the bigger Lush models and other eggs like the We-Vibe Jive 2 do. These can feel a bit more restrictive when sitting upright, bending forward, or walking up stairs.

I can wear the Mini comfortably for much longer sessions, in bed or up and going about my day.

The external antenna helps, too. It’s the same curved, form-fitting design as the Lush 4 – it hugs the body instead of sticking out, so it rests comfortably near my clit without tapping it, and I never have to reach down to adjust it as I move.

If you’d rather have a fuller, girthier feel, the larger Lush 4 can be better. But the Lush Mini is my personal favorite specifically because I find it so comfortable.

The Vulse is comfortable in bed as long as you like some girth. Though it has some oddities you have to get used to.

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

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

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

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

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

The Lovense Lush Mini is quiet, with a clean, smooth hum. Its vibrations sound cleaner than the slightly more grating older Lush 2 and Lush 3. It has a similar, clean-sounding motor to the full-size Lovense Lush 4.

On low power, it measured right at our 35 dBA ambient floor – too quiet for our sound level meter to even pick up. On high, it reached about 46.5 dBA, which is still quiet.

It also did well in our Background Noise Masking test. While I wore the Mini, my partner listened from three feet away as we played pink noise at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). With the moderate and loud background noise playing, he couldn’t hear the Lush Mini at any strength. With the quietest background noise playing he couldn’t hear the low or middle settings either; only the high setting was barely audible – a subtle hum he had to listen closely for, and it took him several minutes to decide whether he was really hearing it.

Behind a closed bedroom door, the Lush Mini was completely inaudible. For this part of the test, my partner listened directly outside the closed door while I used the Mini handheld in bed. Holding it instead of wearing it gives the most conservative result, since wearing dampens the sound and some people also use eggs clitorally in bed. My partner couldn’t hear it from the other side of the door at any power level.

Most eggs are pretty quiet, so you have lots options, with the Lush Mini being an excellent one!

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

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

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

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

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

The Lovense Lush Mini has a short battery life for an egg vibrator. It lasted 65 minutes at its highest power in our test.

I actually ran this test twice since this is quite a bit shorter than the larger models, and Lovense advertises “up to 236 minutes.” If you use the lower and middle settings you’ll get a longer runtime – but at the max power we got about 65 minutes.

If a longer battery matters more to you than the slim, comfortable feel, the fuller Lovense Lush 4 and older Lovense Lush 3 last about twice as long – 120 and 135 minutes.

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

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

The Lovense Lush Mini 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 Vulse is very easy to clean because it is IPX7 waterproof. You can rinse it under running water or fully submerge it while scrubbing with soap and water.

The Lush Mini has excellent build quality. It’s covered entirely in a smooth, body-safe silicone with a solid, quality feel, and its curved antenna is thick enough to feel sturdy and holds its shape well. The single button has a satisfying, responsive click, too.

I can’t speak to the Mini’s long-term lifespan yet, since it’s a newer toy. But I’ve had the Lush 2 since 2020 and the Lush 3 since 2021, and both still work as expected; the Mini feels built to the same solid standard, so I expect it to hold up well with normal use and care.

The Vulse feels well built. It is covered in smooth silicone, the antenna feels sturdy, and the thrusting motor holds up to pressure without slowing or stalling.

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