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

Here’s the main conclusion: The Lucy is one of the most stimulating panty vibrators I’ve tested, especially for its price – strong, with a form-fitting design that delivers that strength to your clit well. The trade-off is rumbliness – the Lucy is buzzy at every setting, and extremely buzzy at the top, but I still enjoy its vibration feel personally.

If strong, rumbly vibrations matter more, go with the VeDO Niki (remote-only, no app), but otherwise the Lucy’s clit stimulation is great.

Like all egg vibrators, the VeDo Kiwi 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.

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 even with our strongest G-spot vibrator alone, but when I pair it with clitoral stimulation, it makes my orgasms feel more full.

The Techno Lucy is one of the strongest panty vibrators I’ve tested, with a top power of 9 out of 10. Among magnetic panty vibrators, only the Lovense Ferri reaches a higher top strength.

The power range is wide, but there’s only three power levels: a soft 1 out of 10 at the low end (a good warmup setting), a jump straight to 7 in the middle, and a powerful 9 at the top. While there’s not a ton of intermediate settings, I personally find the three settings it provides enough to comfortably warmup and finish strongly.

The Lucy also transfers that power to your clit really well. Its curved, broad design contours to your vulva, and a strong, wide magnet keeps the toy from pivoting out of place. Among magnetic panty vibrators, only the Lovense Ferri delivers more of its motor’s strength to your clit. While a lot of panty vibrators feel weaker than their strength would suggest, the Lucy’s 9 out of 10 power actually feels strong on your clit.

The Lucy’s curve also gives you some ability to press the vibrations more firmly into your clit hands-free. When you’re sitting, shifting your weight onto the end opposite your clit tilts the front end more firmly into you – closer to handheld pressure control than a straight panty vibrator gets, though still certainly not the level of pressure you get from a handheld vibrator.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer – rumbly vibrations travel deeper and feel more diffuse, while buzzy ones stay nearer the surface with a sharper kick. But this is a personal preference, and many people do enjoy buzzy vibes.

The Lucy is buzzy. Its lowest setting measures 92.5 Hz, which is moderately buzzy, and the top climbs to 142.5 Hz, well into the extremely buzzy range. There’s no level where the Lucy feels rumbly or even neutral – its vibrations stay in the moderately-to-extremely buzzy range across all three settings.

This is fairly typical for panty vibrators – the small motors that fit inside a wearable often have a hard time generating the low-frequency vibrations that feel rumbly while also spinning fast enough to feel strong. I personally enjoy the Lucy’s strong, buzzy vibrations, because they stay pressed to my body and transfer well to my clit.

But if you want a strong, rumbly panty vibrator, the VeDO Niki is a great option for about $20 more. It’s a rare panty vibrator that delivers deep, low-frequency vibrations throughout its whole power range.

Like all panty vibrators, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy 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.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the VeDO Kiwi’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The VeDO Kiwi is very stimulating. It’s the most rumbly egg vibrator and very strong.

If you value power and more G-spot pressure, a few pricier eggs have a bit more strength and a shape that presses more into your G-spot, such as the Lovense Lush 4 (app-controlled) and We-Vibe Jive 2 (mostly remote-controlled). If you care more about rumbliness, the Kiwi is better.

The VeDO Kiwi is a very strong egg vibrator, reaching a top power of 8.0 out of 10. Its vibrations are also unusually deep and rumbly, so that strength feels rich, full, and impactful.

It has six power levels with a wide range, starting at a gentle 1.0 for warmup and building to its strong top setting.

The Kiwi doesn’t press as directly into my G-spot as contoured eggs like the Lovense Lush 4 or We-Vibe Jive 2. Its slimmer, cylindrical shape spreads the vibrations along more of the front wall instead of targeting one precise spot. But because the vibrations are so deep and rumbly, they still transfer well and feel very stimulating.

The Lush 4 and Jive 2 offer more targeted G-spot pressure, and are stronger overall. But the Kiwi has plenty of power for most people – especially at roughly half the price.

The VeDO Kiwi has the most rumbly vibrations of any wearable vibrator I’ve tested.

For G-spot stimulation, rumbly vibrations matter more than they do for clitoral. With clit vibrators, you’re placing the vibe directly on a highly sensitive area. But G-spot vibrations have to travel farther through tissue to reach more nerve-rich regions, and lower-frequency rumbly vibrations travel through your body much more effectively.

The Kiwi’s vibrations remain rumbly throughout its full power range. Most of the settings are extremely rumbly. And even the top setting, where most egg vibrators cross into buzzy territory, including the pricier Lovense Lush 4 and We-Vibe Jive 2, measures 69.24 Hz, which is moderately rumbly. Vibrators always become buzzier as you turn them up, but the Kiwi never crosses into the buzzy range.

The deep rumbliness combined with the Kiwi’s strong power makes for impactful stimulation.

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Love Spouse app is very basic and can feel spammy. But it’s functional for both close-range and long-distance play. The Techno Lucy is also more sensitive to body interference blocking the bluetooth signal than pricier panty vibrators. But at this budget point, it’s a good option.

If you want a feature-rich app and the best connectivity available, you’ll need to increase your budget and go with the Lovense Ferri. If basic, working app control is fine, the Lucy’s app does the core job.

The VeDo Kiwi 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 Love Spouse app’s close-range features are very basic – it has the most limited close-range app experience I’ve tested in a panty vibrator. The core constant-intensity control works, so if you just need an app to select your vibration power it’s fine – especially at this budget. But more customized controls you’d expect from higher-end apps are either missing or don’t work well. Consider the Lovense Ferri if you care about greater customization.

The one useful screen in the app is Classic Mode, which lists the toy’s preset modes as “Mode 1” through “Mode 9.” Modes 1-3 are the toy’s low, medium, and high constant intensity; the rest are the toy’s preset patterns.

That’s the entire intensity-control system – three stepped levels rather than the continuous adjustment most panty-vibe apps offer. If you want to dial in a precise feel between low and medium, you can’t; you’re stuck with the three steps the toy ships with. The modes also aren’t descriptively labeled, so you (or a partner controlling your toy) can’t tell what a pattern feels like without trying each one first, you have to memorize what each means.

Beyond Classic Mode, the app is cluttered with poorly built features that don’t add value. Draw Something is meant to let you drag your finger on the screen to control vibration intensity – but the response is so inconsistent that after ten minutes I still couldn’t figure out how it was supposed to work. Music Mode plays the toy along to music, but you’re limited to a handful of pre-installed songs the brand made up – no Spotify, no Apple Music, no songs from your phone – and the vibrations don’t really match the music anyway. Game Mode and a Shaking feature (where you shake your phone to control intensity) are similarly unusable in practice. Ads for the brand’s cam services run throughout the app, often taking up more space on the main control screen than the controls themselves. You don’t have to watch ads before playing, but they’re on the screen taking up space.

If you want anything beyond stepping between three preset intensity levels or selecting from the preset patterns the Lovense Ferri has a much better app. If you’re fine with basic controls and just need a functional app on a budget, the Techno Lucy’s app can be fine.

The Love Spouse app’s long-distance features are basic but functional – the core call-and-control flow works, but getting to the call is rough.

Your long-distance partner controls your Lucy with the same Mode 1 through Mode 9 preset selector you have during close-range play, and the same limitations.

Getting into a call is unintuitive at first, especially if you want to control a partner’s toy without also owning a toy of your own. The easiest way to connect with a partner is to select YOUR own toy from the home screen. Once connected to your toy, you’ll see a “Friend Control” option in the menu. Add your partner, and then you can select to invite them to a control session. Then once in a control session, you can also request to start a video call. This way requires that you also own a toy in order to access your friends list through your toy’s menu.

If you don’t own a Love Spouse toy too, you have to navigate to the “World” menu, which takes you to a spammy screen with a ton of random users sending a constant stream of messages. But in the top left of this screen, there’s a message icon where you can access your friends list and start the video call with your partner from there.

Once you’re in, though, the video call itself is pretty good. Video quality is high on decent internet, your view of your partner fills most of the screen without the controls cluttering the feed, and the toy control panel is easy to access – toggling off fullscreen brings the controls up in the bottom half of the screen while keeping your partner in view at the top. You can also both control each other’s vibrations during the call.

The call does have a few notable gaps. You can’t toggle off your camera or mute your mic – only flip front/back camera, switch to speaker, or end the call (a voice-only call option exists as a fallback). And there’s an in-call messaging feature that you should not use: messages fill up the video screen and don’t go away.

The standalone chat experience is bad: messages appear in a tiny corner window, text overflows onto buttons of similar color, lines cut off mid-word, and there’s no message history. There’s no media sharing during an active control session either – you can’t send a photo or voice clip while controlling your partner’s toy.

For people interested in the Anonymous play some higher-end apps like Lovense offer, it exists in the Love Spouse app, but it’s behind a paywall.

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

The Lucy’s app connectivity is reliable for solo control, but it’s just decent for nearby or long-distance partnered play. If reliable connectivity through any situation matters a lot to you, the Lovense Ferri is a better option, though it’s pricier.

Getting up and running is mostly automatic. The very first time, you have to enter a four-digit binding code from the toy’s instruction manual – annoying, but you only do it once (so don’t toss the manual before pairing). After that, the app auto-connects whenever you open it and turn the toy on. If the connection drops mid-session (like from going out of range), reconnection is automatic as soon as the signal’s clear again.

When I’m controlling my own toy, commands go through reliably and the connection holds through phone locking, app-switching, and periods of inactivity. The Lucy can also handle light body interference, like controlling the toy yourself or when a partner is facing you or at a slight angle. But as you put more of your body between the phone and the toy, it can lose the connection.

Water-rich materials like body tissue can significantly dampen bluetooth signals – much more than clothes or typical walls. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively harder positions: the Lucy holds a stable connection at the first, drops occasional commands at the second (but auto-reconnects on its own), and can’t maintain a connection at the third, most severe angle.

The Lovense Ferri holds at all three positions, which matters if a partner will be controlling your toy with a lot of your body in the way.

The Lucy’s Bluetooth range comes in around 40 feet in our open-air test, measured with a clear line-of-sight. That’s enough for same-room control, but well short of what Lovense’s and other panty vibrators reach – and body interference at certain angles will shorten your real distance further.

For long-distance play, the connection works well when both partners keep the Love Spouse app open. Sessions don’t drop unexpectedly, and commands go through reliably while both apps are active. If the toy-wearer’s app is locked or minimized, it can cause the controls to freeze until the app is back up again. Better long-distance apps like Lovense’s let the controlling partner keep adjusting your vibrations through normal phone behavior.

For solo control, partnered control from angles without much of your body in the way, and basic long-distance play, the Lucy’s connectivity holds up – especially considering how inexpensive the Techno Lucy is.

The NS Novelties Techno Lucy 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 VeDO Kiwi’s remote features and connectivity.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Kiwi’s remote is great for solo use or same-room partnered control, with great intensity controls and a reliable connection, even through body interference. The only downside is its short connection range at about 16 ft.

If you need longer range with a physical remote for across-the-room play, consider the We-Vibe Jive 2. Or if you’re okay with an app instead, try the Lovense Lush 4. If you don’t need a longer range, the Kiwi’s remote is excellent.

The VeDO Kiwi’s remote features are 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 through the ten 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 are less raised than the best remotes. So I can’t easily tell which button is which by feel like I can with some, like the We-Vibe Jive 2‘s remote. That’s something you get used to as you use it more.

Like most remotes, the Kiwi’s gives your partner just a faint blink when you press a button – no way to tell what setting your toy is on or whether the vibrations actually changed. That’s fine if you’re using the Kiwi 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. App control 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, try the Lovense Lush 4. Or Lush Mini if you prefer slimmer toys.

The VeDO Kiwi’s remote connectivity is excellent and reliable as long as your partner is close-by.

Body tissue between a remote and toy is typically the main thing that breaks a remote’s signal during partner control, but the Kiwi holds up well to this. Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Kiwi 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 reached 16 feet in our open-air range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference – which is the shortest range of my wearable vibrators. That’s still enough to comfortably cover typical nearby same-room partnered control or solo use. But across-the-room play is trickier.

If you want a longer remote range without switching to apps, the We-Vibe Jive 2 reached about 125 feet in the same test – roughly eight times the Kiwi’s range. And if you’re okay with app control instead, the Lovense Lush 4 reached 345 feet or can connect over the internet, so distance stops being a factor.

Like most panty vibrators, the Lucy’s on-toy controls are limited by design – the toy sits inside your underwear during use, so you’ll typically rely on the app.

There’s a single button on the toy that cycles through the same nine settings from the app – three steady power levels, then six vibration patterns. There’s no minus button, so dropping back to a gentler power takes cycling through the remaining settings. Nine settings is enough that the cycle takes some patience, but as a backup or if you want to occasionally use the toy handheld it works fine.

The button is well-placed: easy to feel and press without looking, and centered in the middle of the broad, plush body. Pressing it does push the toy against your vulva, but the central placement and broad surface distribute the pressure evenly across your body rather than concentrating it in one spot, so it’s comfortable.

The limited on-toy button works fine, since the app is the main way you’ll use the Lucy.

Like most insertable eggs, the Kiwi’s on-toy controls are limited – but even moreso than most. Its single button is on the egg body itself, which means it’s inaccessible when wearing the toy. If you want to adjust it during wear, the remote is the only option. This also means you have to turn it on before inserting.

When you do use the on-toy button, it cycles through one steady vibration and nine patterns at a single fixed power level. To adjust the vibration power, you have to use the remote control.

That said, the button is more usable if you’re holding the Kiwi externally and using it like a bullet vibrator for clit stimulation. While the one-button cycling controls aren’t ideal, they’re good enough for occasional external use.

The NS Novelties Techno Lucy is the most secure fitting panty vibrator I’ve tested, even compared to other magnetic panty vibrators.

The clit-end is broad, but it tapers narrower toward the base between your legs, the toy curves to be form-fitting along your vulva, and the magnet is strong, large, and recessed into a divot at the back.

The broad clit-end paired with the large magnet pins the part vibrating by your clit firmly to your underwear. It has none of the wiggle room a narrower toy or small magnet sometimes leaves. Even if the toy tilts slightly as you move, the breadth of the clit-end keeps it secure against your body. And the curved, tapered shape means your thighs don’t bump the toy off-axis as you walk – it nestles naturally between your legs.

In bed, the toy doesn’t shift through normal moving around or changing positions.

During light activity like walking or doing chores, you can feel the toy move with you as you walk, but it doesn’t actually shift off the spot you secured it to – and gravity doesn’t pull it down off your clit even when standing.

Heavy activity is where most magnetic panty vibrators shift more, but the Lucy holds up better here than any I’ve tested. It stayed in place and maintained great clit contact while I danced and did high knees. Jumping and running do make it bounce – the toy pulls away from your body when you land – but it moves right back where it’s clipped without any manual readjustment.

The VeDO Kiwi has a great secure fit, staying put at any activity level.

That’s typical for an egg vibrator. Once the toy is fully inserted, your own anatomy holds it in place naturally. The kind of secure-fit problems more common with external wearables don’t really apply to eggs. Most of the eggs I’ve tested fit just as solidly across every activity tier.

The NS Novelties Techno Lucy is the most comfortable panty vibrator I’ve tested. It stays comfortable both in bed and while you’re up and moving around – where most panty vibrators drop in comfort to some degree when walking.

The same design that makes it fit so securely also keeps it comfortable. The broad clit-end distributes pressure evenly across your clit area, the slim section between your legs prevents it from getting bumped around much with movement, and the form curves to stay snug against your body.

In bed, the contours extremely well to the body. Like the Sexy Secret, it’s the easiest panty vibrator I’ve found to settle into a comfortable placement, but the Lucy is far more stimulating.

During light activity like walking around the house or sitting at a desk, the broad, plush surface keeps good contact with the clit without any uncomfortable “tapping”, even if the toy is jostled a bit. When sitting, the extra pressure distributes evenly across the plush surface. The Lucy is one toy I could wear for a long time without becoming uncomfortable.

The VeDO Kiwi is very comfortable.

It’s cylindrical shape is slimmer than bulbous eggs like the Lovense Lush 4 and We-Vibe Jive 2, which makes it easy to insert and avoids the extra pressure against my bladder that those bulbous eggs can produce. I’m able to wear this one longer than wider eggs without becoming uncomfortable.

Lying in bed I can feel a faint tingle from the vibrations traveling into the pull-string, but I don’t find it distracting.

During light activity – walking around the house, going up and down stairs – I notice a little pressure at the inside of the vaginal entrance since this egg is a little taller than some, but nothing distracting. And the pull-string is hardly noticeable when held tight to my body by clothing.

If maximum comfort is a priority, the Lovense Lush Mini is even more comfortable because it’s shorter and the bulb sits a bit higher up in the vagina. But most people will be happy with the Kiwi’s comfort.

The Lucy is exceptionally quiet – tied for the quietest panty vibrator I’ve tested. And unlike the others tied with it (Satisfyer Sexy Secret, Little Secret, and Romp Party), it’s also one of the most stimulating.

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

The Lucy is also in the most discreet tier of wearable vibrators I’ve tested 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 Lucy at any vibration strength while playing any of our three volumes of background noise audio. It’s definitely audible in our room without any background audio playing – but every wearable vibrator I’ve tested is, no matter how gentle and quiet the vibrations are.

Behind a closed bedroom door, the Lucy was similarly inaudible. For this part of the noise test, my partner listens from outside the closed door 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 reposition the toy or move it around. Holding the toy instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Lucy at any setting from behind our bedroom door – no fan or music needed to mask it.

The Kiwi is a very quiet egg vibrator.

Decibel readings on low power were too quiet for our sound level meter to pick up above the room’s 35 dBA ambient noise. On high, the Kiwi reached about 43 dBA – still quiet overall.

It’s in the most discreet group of wearables I’ve tested for our Background Noise Masking subtest. My partner listens from three feet away while we play pink noise at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). He couldn’t hear the Kiwi at any vibration strength under any of the three volumes. 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 the closed-door test, my partner stands directly outside our bedroom door while I use the Kiwi in bed. I hold it rather than wear it for this subtest, since wearing dampens sound and some people want the flexibility to use it clitorally – holding gives the most conservative results. My partner couldn’t hear it on low or medium power. On high, he could just barely make it out, and only when the house was completely silent – even light ambient sound, like cars passing outside, masked it.

The Lucy has a short battery life – it lasted 55 minutes in my test on its highest setting. That’s lower than high-end panty vibrators – the average runs closer to 90 minutes, and the Lovense Ferri lasts closer to three hours. You can extend the Lucy’s battery life during normal use since you’ll likely also use the lower settings some too.

The Kiwi’s battery life is decent. It lasted 75 minutes running continuously at its highest power in our test, which is shorter than many higher-end G-spot eggs. Since most people won’t use the highest setting the entire time, real-use runtime will likely be longer.

If battery life is a priority, the Lovense Lush 4 lasted about 120 minutes in our test – roughly 60% longer than the Kiwi, but at about twice the price. The Svakom Phoenix Neo 2 lasted much longer at about 258 minutes, more than three times the Kiwi’s runtime, while staying in a similar price range, but it’s worse overall.

The Lucy is easy to clean. It’s fully IPX7 waterproof, so you can clean it under a running faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water without worry.

Cleaning the Kiwi is simple in practice, but I rated it conservatively because I couldn’t confirm its exact waterproof rating. VeDO lists it as “splashproof,” which usually means IPX5 or IPX6 – safe to rinse under a faucet – but can also mean IPX4, which is not faucet-safe. I emailed VeDO to confirm the rating and didn’t hear back, so I scored it as if it should not be rinsed directly.

In real use, I do rinse most of the Kiwi under the faucet while keeping water away from the charging port. Lube and debris can collect at the pull-cord/charging port seam over time, so I periodically unscrew it and clean inside with a damp cloth.

The Lucy feels high quality, especially for a budget panty vibrator. It’s covered entirely in thick-feeling silicone with a nice flex to it, the button presses with a satisfying click, and the broad, strong magnet creates a solid, sturdy connection.

The Kiwi feels well-built overall, and I’ve had it since 2022. It has smooth, firm silicone with a small plastic ring where the pull cord attaches, which unscrews to reveal the charging port. The seam feels tight when closed, but lube and debris can still collect there, so it needs occasional detailed cleaning.

The pull cord is a slim, slightly stretchy loop that has held up well. The toy and remote buttons are easy to press with a clear click, and while the plastic remote feels very lightweight and cheap, it works reliably.
