Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The NS Novelties Techno Rave is a decent cheap egg vibrator, mainly if you specifically need app control on a budget.
It does a lot of things well – its slim shape is very comfortable whether in bed or moving around, its vibrations are exceptionally quiet, and the app works with great connectivity.
The stimulation is the main trade-off. Even though the vibes have moderate strength, they’re extremely buzzy which makes them less impactful on my G-spot. The Love Spouse app is also very basic, but functional. All you do is select between three power levels and six preset patterns – no customization, and there’s annoying ads in the app, but they don’t block you from playing.
If you’re okay with a physical remote intead of an app, the VeDO Kiwi is the better egg at about $14 more – much more rumbly and more stimulating. Or if you need a great egg vibrator with outstanding app control, the Lovense Lush 4 is the better choice. But the NS Novelties Techno Rave is the best app-controlled egg at this price point.
The OhMiBod Foxy is a premium panty vibrator with some positives. But there’s nothing it really does better than less expensive options.
The magnet is strong and keeps it secured to your underwear. And the Foxy’s app is pretty good with great connectivity – it’s just not as good as Lovense’s. Likewise its vibrations are strong, but the straight shape doesn’t transfer them to my clit as well as panty vibrators with a curve. And its vibrations have a jarring sound quality to them when actually wearing them which makes it a little louder than others.
Despite being decent overall, I’d recommend other panty vibrators. For the best app control and stonger stimulation consider the Lovense Ferri. Or if you prioritize quiet, more rumbly vibrations more, consider the VeDO Niki. I can orgasm hands-free with both of those, but cannot with the Foxy.
The Techno Rave is a solid budget pick for wearing around.
It’s in the most-discreet group of wearable vibrators I’ve tested, fits securely through walking, stairs, and heavier activity, and stays comfortable while moving around. The battery life (95 minutes on max power) is also better than other egg vibrators in this price range. And the Love Spouse app, while basic and cluttered with bad extra features and ads, is functional for the core control with great connectivity for close-range or long-distance partner control.
The stimulation is the main downside. While moderately strong, it’s extremely buzzy. This makes it less impactful on my G-spot, but can still feel enjoyable and teasing.
If more stimulation is important to you, the VeDO Kiwi and Lovense Lush 4 are better options. The Kiwi is a far more rumbly remote controlled option in this price range. The Lush 4 is a stronger egg with a far better app.
The OhMiBod Foxy isn’t that great for wearing around.
The app control works well, so there’s no issues controlling it. But the bumpout that delivers clit stimulation better in bed slips out of position too easily once you start moving. Quiet vibrations are the other drawback: while the Foxy’s decibel readings are technically quiet, my partner could hear it much more easily than most panty vibrators in our audibility testing. And its 55-minute runtime on high is short for extended wear.
At a little cheaper price, the Lovense Ferri (app-controlled) is a better panty vibrator for wearing around. Or consider the VeDO Niki (remote-controlled) if rumbliness and sound are a bigger priority.
The Techno Rave is disappointing for hands-free G-spot stimulation in bed. It vibrates quietly, fits securely, and feels very comfortable – it’s just not that stimulating.
The vibrations only cover a very narrow range with moderate power – nothing gentle or super strong. Even though there’s decent power, the extreme buzziness of the vibrations keeps them from feeling very impactful on my G-spot. The slim shape, which makes it especially comfortable, also keeps the Rave from applying much stimulating pressure to your G-spot.
If you want to use your egg vibrator to get effortless G-spot stimulation while freeing your hands for other things, there are much more stimulating options. In this price range, consider the remote-controlled VeDO Kiwi. Or if you want to stick with an app-controlled option, the pricier Lovense Lush 4 is excellent. Both are stronger and more rumbly than the Rave.
The OhMiBod Foxy is okay for hands-free clit stimulation in bed, but it’s not the panty vibrator I’d recommend.
For in-bed use, the clit stimulation matters most, and the Foxy’s is just alright. It’s strong, but with its straight design it doesn’t press the vibrations into my clit as consistently as curved panty vibrators. I can’t orgasm with it hands-free like I can with the Lovense Ferri or VeDO Niki.
The Techno Rave is workable for occasional long-distance play, and it’s the only egg vibrator with a working long-distance app in this price range. But if you prioritize the long-distance experience, Lovense’s eggs like the Lovense Lush 4 or Lovense Lush Mini are better.
The Rave’s connectivity with the app is great, but the Love Spouse app’s long-distance experience is just basic and spammy. Your partner only selects from preset intensity levels and patterns in the app – they don’t have the precise intensity control or custom-pattern creation better long-distance apps offer. The video call itself and the toy controls during a call work, but there’s annoying aspects like the control freezing whenever you lock your phone or switch to another app – you have to keep the Love Spouse app actively open on your phone.
The in-app messaging during long-distance control is bad with texts being hard to read and no media sharing.
The toy itself is just okay. It’s comfortable, fits securely, and is quiet, but the vibrations aren’t very stimulating.
If you’re on a tight budget, and all you need is to select from preset vibrations while video chatting, the Rave is the best app-controlled egg in this price range. If long-distance play is a priority for you, the Lovense Lush 4 or Lovense Lush Mini are better.
The OhMiBod Foxy is reasonably good for long-distance play, but the less expensive Lovense Ferri is even better so most people should get that.
The Foxy’s long-distance connection is rock-solid – on par with Lovense’s (the best app-controlled brand). Video calling works great while sharing toy control. Sessions hold through phone-locking, app-backgrounding, and switching between Wi-Fi and cell data. Commands reliably go through. But the controls themselves are clunky, requiring weird workarounds to adjust a constant vibration instead of using patterns. There’s no mutually controlling each other’s toys, and other minor oddities.
On top of that, the Foxy’s stimulation is just okay. For cheaper, the Lovense Ferri is more stimulating, has a better long-distance app experience, is easier to wear around, and has a longer battery life. So most people prioritizing long-distance play should get it.

Clit Stimulation: Main Takeaways
Like all egg vibrators, the NS Novelties Techno Rave only stimulates your G-spot – not your clit. For clit stimulation, a panty vibrator is the better type of wearable for you. See all our recommendations for the best panty vibrators here.
An egg vibrator is a good option if:
- 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.)
- 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.
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Foxy’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The OhMiBod Foxy’s clit stimulation is just decent – strong on paper, but its straight, fairly heavy body doesn’t deliver that power to your clit well. The motor is strong, the rumbliness is average, and the stimulation area slips out of position too easily for steady contact. I can’t orgasm with it hands-free, like I can with the Lovense Ferri.
Clit Vibrations: Power, Range, and Transfer Effectiveness
The OhMiBod Foxy’s clit motor reaches a strong top power of 8.5 out of 10 with only a few panty vibes, like the Lovense Ferri and the NS Novelties Techno Lucy, hitting higher top powers. But the Foxy’s design doesn’t transfer that strength to your clit as well as other panty vibrators.
Across its seven power levels, the Foxy spans a wide range – a gentle 1 out of 10 at the bottom rising gradually to that strong 8.5 top. So its vibrations cover good warmup levels, moderate settings, and strong levels for the finish.
But the vibrations only transfer well to your clit when you situate it just right. The toy is straight, fairly heavy, and has a large rounded bumpout near the clit end. So it tends to pull down in my underwear or roll off slightly to the side, so the bumpout (the part in contact with your clit) slips off the ideal spot. Though it stays near or partially in contact with my clit. For me, it’s most consistent when I’m sitting up in bed and not moving around much.
But the lack of the more direct, consistent clit contact means it doesn’t feel quite strong enough to me, and I can’t orgasm with it hands-free like I can with the Lovense Ferri or VeDO Niki.
Clit Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate panty vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. But plenty of people enjoy buzzy vibes too, so this is up to your personal preference.
The Foxy isn’t particularly rumbly. Like almost all panty vibrators I’ve tested, it’s centered in the moderately buzzy frequency range – the Lovense Ferri sits in the same place, so neither is rumbly.
Its lowest power level is moderately rumbly at 66 Hz, but that’s the warmup setting – too gentle for the rumbliness to come through in any meaningful way. From there, frequency climbs as power does: the Foxy is moderately buzzy through the middle of its range at around 99 Hz, and extremely buzzy at 122 Hz on its top setting. And because the Foxy’s transfer is inconsistent, you’ll likely spend most of your time on the upper, buzzy settings to feel enough power.
If rumbly vibrations are what you want from a panty vibe, the VeDO Niki is the only panty vibrator I’ve tested with a deep, rumbly motor.
G-spot Stimulation: Main Takeaways
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Rave’s G-spot motor power, range, and rumbliness in detail.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Rave’s G-spot stimulation is workable but well behind the more rumbly eggs. Power is decent and transfer is solid for an egg this slim, but the vibrations stay extremely buzzy at every setting, and the range covers only three moderately strong settings – nothing gentle or extreme.
If stim quality is your priority, go with the more rumbly VeDO Kiwi at about $14 more, or the stronger, polished Lovense Lush 4 for about $80 more. Stick with the Rave if savings matters more to you than rumbliness and range.
Like all panty vibrators, the OhMiBod Foxy 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.
G-spot Vibrations: Power, Range, and Transfer Effectiveness
The Techno Rave’s G-spot motor reaches a top power of 7 out of 10 – decent raw power, but the vibrations are also extremely buzzy, which keeps them from feeling as full and deep as strong more rumbly eggs like the VeDO Kiwi or the Lovense Lush 4 do.
The range is very narrow. The Rave has only three power levels and the they all sit between 6.75 and 7 out of 10 vibration strength. There’s no gentle warmup settings and barely any difference between low, medium, and high. Most eggs offer much wider power ranges.
Transfer to the G-spot is good. The shape does put some pressure against the front wall where you want it, and the snug fit holds it in good contact through movement. But the buzzy vibrations don’t travel as deep as more rumbly vibrations do.
At a barely higher price, the VeDO Kiwi has far better vibration strength, range, and transfer. Or for the strongest vibrations consider the Lovense Lush 4.
G-spot Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
The Techno Rave’s vibrations are extremely buzzy. Across all three power levels.
For G-spot stimulation, rumbly vibrations matter more than they do for clitoral. With clit vibrators, you’re placing the vibe directly on a highly sensitive area. But G-spot vibrations have to travel farther to reach more nerve-rich regions, and lower-frequency rumbly vibrations travel through your body much more effectively.
I found that vibes above 120 Hz tends to dissipate a lot of intensity (even if the motor is strong). And the Rave’s 150 Hz median sits well into that range.
What partially saves the Rave’s G-spot stimulation is the egg’s shape. Once inserted, the motor presses well against the front vaginal wall, and the physical pressure delivers some of the buzz directly to the G-spot – enough that, for me, the vibrations are still noticeable and enjoyable. But even with the pressure compensation, the Rave doesn’t carry the depth or fullness that more rumbly eggs produce.
For G-spot vibrations that actually travel deep, the Kiwi (remote controlled) is the most rumbly option at about $14 more or the app-controlled Lovense Lush 4 is also more rumbly than the Rave.
App Control: Main Takeaways
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Love Spouse app’s close-range features, long-distance features, and connectivity in detail.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Love Spouse app’s features are basic and spammy but functional. The core controls (selecting the preset intensities and patterns) work, but the rest of the app is cluttered with broken extras and ads you should just avoid. But the connectivity is actually excellent. At this budget price point the Techno Rave is the best app experience you’ll find for an egg vibrator.
If you want a feature-rich app and the best connectivity available, go with the Lovense Lush 4 for about $80 more – Lovense’s app is the best of any brand. If basic, working app control on a budget is enough, the Rave’s app does the core job.
In the next sections, I’ll cover the OhMiBod Remote app’s close-range features, long-distance features, and connectivity in-depth.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The OhMiBod app is pretty good, sitting a tier below Lovense and Satisfyer, but much better than We-Vibe.
Its connectivity is excellent – nearby Bluetooth and long-distance modes hold a solid connection on par with Lovense’s. But the features themselves are clunky and don’t provide as much customization as the better apps.
The Lovense Ferri is a better panty vibrator if you want the best app.
App Control: Close-Range Features
The Love Spouse app’s close-range features are very basic – the most limited close-range app experience of any egg vibrator I’ve tested. The core constant-intensity control works, so if all you need is an app to step through your toy’s three preset power levels, it’s fine – especially at this budget. But more customized controls you’d expect from higher-end apps are either missing or don’t work well. Consider the Lovense Lush 4 if you care about greater customization.
The one useful screen in the app is Classic Mode, which lists the toy’s preset modes as “Mode 1” through “Mode 9.” Modes 1-3 are the toy’s low, medium, and high constant intensities – the rest are its preset patterns.
That’s the entire intensity-control system – three stepped levels rather than the continuous slider better apps offer. If you want to dial in a feel between low and medium, you can’t; you’re locked into the three steps the toy ships with.
The modes also aren’t descriptively labeled – there’s no “Low” / “Medium” / “Waves” / “Pulses” naming or icon, just the numbers – so you (or a partner controlling your toy) can’t tell what a mode feels like without trying each one. If you just memorize that 1, 2, and 3 are the constant power levels, that’s most of what you’ll need from this app.
Beyond Classic Mode, the app is cluttered with poorly built features that don’t add value. Draw Something is meant to let you drag your finger across the screen to control intensity – but the response is so inconsistent that after ten minutes I still couldn’t figure out how it’s supposed to work, and the vibrations stop the moment you lift your finger.
Music Mode plays the toy along to music, but you’re limited to a handful of pre-installed songs the brand made up – no Spotify, no Apple Music, no audio from your phone – and the vibrations don’t really match the music anyway. Game Mode and a Shaking mode (where you shake your phone to control intensity) are similarly unusable in practice. Ads for the brand’s cam services run throughout the app, often taking up more space on the main control screen than the controls themselves. You don’t have to watch ads before playing, but they’re on the screen taking up space.
If you want anything beyond stepping between three intensity levels or selecting a preset pattern, the Lovense Lush 4 has a much better app for about $80 more. The Lovense Remote app is the best of any brand. If basic, working app control on a budget is enough, the Rave’s app does the core job – just with more clutter to ignore.
The OhMiBod Remote app’s close-range features are usable but unintuitive. The basics all work, but they’re poorly labeled, split across more screens than they need to be, and don’t have the polish of Lovense’s or Satisfyer’s apps. The Lovense Ferri is better if you want the best app.
The biggest drawback is constant intensity control – the thing people often use the most. Setting a steady vibration is spread across three different screens, each with its own quirks:
Rhythm Screen is the preset-pattern selector, and constant power is buried in there as one of the patterns. You’d never find it on your own – it’s listed last, and oddly named “Ludicrous.” Once you do find it, you adjust intensity using your phone’s volume buttons rather than an on-screen control. The lowest volume positions don’t vibrate at all, and the volume bar disappears off screen after a moment, so a partner controlling my toy can’t easily glance over to see what they’ve set the power to.
Tap Screen provides a button that sends a constant pulse for as long as you hold it. To use it as a steady setting, you have to hold the button down for a long stretch, then let go and live with the small pause baked into the resulting loop. There’s an intensity slider labeled with a turtle-and-hare icon, which makes it look like it controls speed – but it controls power. (And a quirk: power resets to full every time you start a new tap, so if you wanted to tap a gentle pattern you can’t – you have to tap it out at full power and drop the intensity afterward.)
Touch Screen gives you a grid with an on-screen dot you drag around to control the vibrations. Dragging left or right adjusts intensity; dragging up or down adjusts speed. It’s not a true constant vibration – it’s a wobble that smooths into something close to steady on the fast-speed end. There’s no axis labeling the grid, just the same turtle-and-hare icon, so you have to figure out which axis does which by experimenting.
All three reach a working result, and once you’ve spent enough time with the app you can pick the one that matches what you want. But the better apps just give you a simple intuitive screen for controlling the power.
The other preset patterns include 6 options – with names like “The Moon” and “Club,” which tell you nothing about what they feel like. There are no waveform previews the way Lovense and Satisfyer show you, so the only way to learn the patterns is to try them all and remember which is which. Intensity is again adjusted with your phone’s volume buttons.
Pattern creation is limited to the Tap Screen – you tap out a rhythm and the app loops it back. There’s no waveform-drawing the way Lovense’s loop creation or Satisfyer’s Live Control let you, so anything that isn’t a series of pulses can’t be built here – no gradual ramps or smooth waves. You can save a tapped pattern to a Favorites list and pull it up again later.
You can connect and control multiple OhMiBod toys at the same time, but the toys aren’t independent – they vibrate in sync. So you can’t play the toys at different intensities or patterns.
OhMiBod’s sound-reactive mode, called Club Vibe, is strong. The toy reacts to ambient sound through the phone’s mic, with two adjustable sliders: one for sensitivity (how loud a sound has to be before the toy responds). And one for intensity (how strong the vibrations get when it does respond). It works as intended with a small caveat: at the very lowest intensity, the toy makes a high-pitched hissing noise without producing real vibrations. I can skip over this in other modes, but I can’t really control it in Club Vibe since it’s noise-responsive.
You can also sync to music through your Spotify account with the Music Vibes mode. It’s fine, but doesn’t follow the music that closely.
There’s a couple other features that don’t feel that helpful like Pulse mode that pairs the toy with an Apple Watch’s heart-rate monitor and an Oh!Dometer that just let’s you log your orgasms.
Everything works, it’s just clunky. For a better experience, consider the Lovense Ferri.
App Control: Long-Distance Features
The Love Spouse app’s long-distance features are also basic and spammy, but functional for simple partner control.
Your long-distance partner controls the Rave with the same Mode 1 through Mode 9 preset panel you have during close-range play, with the same limitations: three constant intensities and six unlabeled patterns, no live pattern creation, no slider, no descriptive previews.
Getting into a call is easiest if both of you own Love Spouse-enabled toys. After connecting your own toy, you can use “Friend Control” to add your partner, invite them to control the toy, and start a video call. If only one partner owns a toy, the call option is harder to find: you have to go through the spammy “Wodl” menu, then use the small message icon in the top left to access your friends list.
Once you’re in, the video call itself is pretty good. Video quality is strong on decent internet, your view of your partner fills most of the screen, and the toy controls stay accessible without completely blocking the video feed. Both partners can control each other’s vibes during the call.
The call controls are limited, though. You can flip the camera, switch to speaker, or end the call, but you can’t turn off your camera or mute your mic. There is also an in-call messaging feature, but it is not worth using because messages cover the video feed and remain on screen for the rest of the call.
Texting during toy control is especially poor. Messages appear in a tiny corner window, overflow onto similar-colored buttons, cut off mid-word, and are not saved in chat history. There is a separate full chat with media sharing and message history, but it only works when you are not sharing toy control, which makes it much less useful for long-distance play.
Love Spouse does include anonymous play, similar to higher-end apps like Lovense, but it is locked behind a paywall.
If long-distance play is a major priority for you, the Lovense Lush 4 is a far better choice – its app gives your partner rich control in long-distance mode, with a clean interface that works well. For basic control over your partner’s vibrations during a video call, the Techno Rave can work fine.
The OhMiBod app’s long-distance features are okay, but they take some learning. OhMiBod sits a step below Lovense and Satisfyer here – the basics work, but the features are limited compared to those apps.
Your long-distance partner uses the same Rhythm, Tap, and Touch control screens you’d use for close-range play, with all the same workarounds and quirks discussed in the previous section.
The OhMiBod app does have one nice bonus over Lovense during long-distance play: during a video call, both partners share an on-screen intensity slider for your toy, which means you can also adjust your own toy’s power instead of relying only on your partner, which is rare in an app.
The trade-off is that your partner can immediately undo whatever you just set, since the app has no built-in handoff mode. And between two people controlling intensity, there’s not much clarity for the controlling partner on where power is at.
The video call experience itself is great. Starting a call is easy – your partner sends a request, you get a clear notification and accept. The video quality is good on decent internet, the toy controls sit in a small panel at the bottom of the screen that doesn’t crowd the view of your partner, and locking your phone or backgrounding the app doesn’t drop the call.
Controlling while messaging is rougher. Chat threads are easy to follow and you can send photos – but not video clips or voice notes. There are no privacy features for shared media (like preventing screenshots), and you can only send a message while you’re actively controlling your partner’s toy. You can’t send a flirty message for them to see when they hop on the app.
The controls split awkwardly during chat sessions, too: the controlling partner selects the pattern but the wearer adjusts intensity via their phone’s volume buttons, leaving them with no on-screen indication of what intensity the toy is at.
Only one partner can connect a toy. If you both have OhMiBod toys, you cannot each control the other person’s toy like you can in Lovense’s or Satisfyer’s apps.
If long-distance partnered play is the main reason you’re shopping for a panty vibrator, the Lovense Ferri is a better choice, but OhMiBod’s app is decent for occasional long-distance play.
App Control: Connectivity
The NS Novelties Techno Rave has excellent app connectivity for nearby use and reliable long-distance control, as long as both partners keep the Love Spouse app open.
Pairing is mostly automatic. The first time, you’ll need to enter a four-digit binding code from the instruction manual, which is annoying but only required once – so don’t throw away the manual before pairing. After that, the toy auto-connects whenever you open the app and turn the toy on.
One Love Spouse quirk is that any powered-on Love Spouse toy nearby will auto-connect to any phone running the app, and all connected toys respond to the same vibration commands. For couples who both own Love Spouse toys, this means either partner can control both toys at once. Some couples may enjoy that; others may prefer more independent control.
For close-range Bluetooth control, the Techno Rave is very reliable. In our standardized stress tests – including timed control, locking and unlocking the phone, switching apps, and navigating around the app – the Rave had zero command failures. Commands went through when expected, and the connection held through normal phone use.
It also performed well in our body-interference testing. Because water-rich body tissue can weaken Bluetooth signals more than clothing or walls, we test each toy in increasingly difficult body-blocked positions. The Rave held its connection the entire time.
Open-air Bluetooth range is also excellent. With a clear line of sight, the Rave stayed connected up to about 325 feet before dropping. That is far more than most people need for solo or same-room partner play, and it gives the toy a comfortable buffer for real-world situations where walls or body interference may reduce range.
Long-distance control is reliable too, with one important limitation. The toy connects to the wearer’s phone over Bluetooth, while the two phones communicate over Wi-Fi or cell data. When both partners have a decent signal and keep the app active, sessions stay connected, commands go through reliably, and switching between Wi-Fi and cell data works smoothly.
However, if the toy-wearer locks their phone or switches to another app, the controlling partner temporarily loses control. The session stays active, and the toy keeps running at its last setting, but vibration changes won’t go through until the wearer returns to the Love Spouse app. Better long-distance apps, like Lovense’s, allow partner control to continue through normal phone behavior like screen-locking.
Overall, the Techno Rave’s connectivity is excellent for nearby play and solid for long-distance use if both partners keep the app open. But if you want long-distance control that works without coordinating around the app staying active, the Lovense Lush 4 is a better choice.
The OhMiBod Remote app’s connectivity is excellent – reliable in both nearby Bluetooth and long-distance modes.
For nearby play, the Foxy auto-connects fast. There’s no toy-selection screen in the app. Just turn the toy on, open the app, and your phone pairs to it automatically. The one tradeoff: if you and a partner are both trying to use OhMiBod toys in the same room, the lack of a selection screen can cause mix-ups about which phone connects to which toy. For most people that won’t come up, and the auto-connect just feels seamless.
Once connected, the Foxy’s connection holds through normal phone behavior like locking the phone, backgrounding the app, and swiping through other apps. Commands reliably go through. And on the rare occasion the signal does drop (like you walk too far away), the app reconnects automatically as soon as the signal is clear again. There’s one small caveat: if a “Play Remotely” prompt pops up while the toy is out of range, don’t tap it – that breaks the auto-reconnection. If you tap it by accident, closing and reopening the app reliably fixes things.
The Foxy is also stable through body interference: when a partner controls the toy from across the room at an angle with you between their phone and the toy, water-rich body tissue dampens Bluetooth signals. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively harder positions (and is harsher than real use), and the Foxy holds a stable connection at all three, including the most severe angle.
We also tested Bluetooth range by separating the phone from the Foxy until the connection dropped. It stayed connected until about 340 feet in our test (your own results may vary depending on obstructions – we test with a clear line of sight).
Long-distance connectivity is also excellent. As long as both partners’ internet or cell signal is decent, the long-distance session stays live. The OhMiBod app handles the messy parts of real-life phone behavior gracefully – locking your phone, briefly switching to another app, or swapping between Wi-Fi and cell data don’t drop the session, even during a long distance call. Commands keep going through reliably.
The one downside is that starting a long-distance video call has a bug, but it’s easy to work around. The flow asks the receiving partner to tap accept twice – first to allow toy control, then to accept the video call itself – and if they tap both prompts too quickly, the video call fails to start. Waiting a couple of seconds between the two taps works reliably, but it’s the kind of thing your partner has to remember each time. Long-distance messaging sessions without video don’t have this issue.
Remote Control: Main Takeaways
The NS Novelties Techno Rave 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).
The OhMiBod Foxy 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).
On-Toy Controls
Like most egg vibrators, the Rave’s on-toy controls are limited by design – the toy is inserted during use, so you’ll typically use the app.
A single button cycles through three constant power levels and the six vibration patterns – Modes 1 through 9 from the app. There’s no minus button, so dropping back to a lower power means cycling through everything else first. You also can’t adjust the intensity of the patterns.
The button is on the end of the antenna, so you don’t have to remove the toy to press it (some eggs have the button on the toy’s body). The raised texture is easy to find by feel and has a clear click feel.
The on-toy button works fine as a backup, or if you’ll occasionally use the egg like a handheld vibe on your clit, but the app is the main way you’ll use the Rave.
Like most panty vibrators, the Foxy’s on-toy controls are limited by design – the toy sits inside your underwear during use, so you’ll typically rely on the app.
A single button cycles through three steady power levels and two vibration patterns. The full seven-level power range only lives in the app. The trimmed-down three levels available from the button is actually a helpful choice for rare occasions you use the on-toy button (like if you want to use it like a handheld toy). It keeps you from clicking through a long string of settings to find the intensity you want. The two patterns mixed into the loop is something most people don’t want, but with only five settings, it’s still quick to tap through.
The button is well-placed: easy to feel without looking, and sits away from the plush bumpout. So while pressing it while wearing does push the toy against your vulva, the pressure is distributed more broadly and closer to the vagina, so it stays comfortable.
The on-toy button works fine as a backup, but the app is the main way you’ll use the Foxy.
Secure Fit & Adjustability
Like most egg vibrators, the NS Novelties Techno Rave fits securely whether you’re in bed, walking around, or doing heavier activity. 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.
When wearing the Rave, for me it naturally settles slightly to one side rather than feeling like it’s centered. For me that doesn’t reduce the stimulation. And once it’s in place, it doesn’t shift at all from that spot no matter how active I’m being. Pulling firmly on the antenna is the only way to remove it.
The Foxy stays securely in place in bed, while walking around it just requires readjusting at times, but it shifts a lot more during heavy movement like running or jumping.
The strong, large magnet holds clipped to my underwear – I don’t ever feel like it’s going to fall off. It locks enough of the body to your underwear that the toy doesn’t swivel too much side-to-side either.
In bed, the Foxy stays where the magnet is secured. The toy jostles a bit with the underwear as I shift, but the bumpout keeps good clitoral contact in bed where you’re not moving around much.
The Foxy moves around a bit more when you’re walking causing the bumpout to move off the ideal spot on my clit. The bumpout is pretty large, so it’s always maintaining contact somewhere fairly near my clit, but I have to adjust to keep it in a great spot.
Heavy activity is where the toy’s weight really starts working against it. The magnet itself doesn’t slip, but the toy is heavy enough to pull the underwear down a bit during bigger movements like jumping, running, or dancing, and the bump shifts around. The long, straight design doesn’t contour to the body for consistent, close contact.
Curved panty vibrators like the VeDO Niki(remote-controlled) and NS Novelties Techno Lucy(app-controlled) stay in better clit contact while moving.
Comfort
The Techno Rave is a very comfortable egg – slim, with a flexible antenna, and equally comfortable whether you’re in bed or moving around the house.
The smaller size means I don’t feel much pressure on my bladder or against my vaginal entrance once it’s inserted. The antenna pull cord is comfortable and flexible, and sits against my body without getting in the way. It does transfer some of the motor’s vibration up the cord, which can register as a mild tickle if you’re sensitive to it – I find it noticeable but not distracting. It’s not stimulating, just a bit tickly.
When walking around the house, the size doesn’t restrict my movement and the antenna stays in a comfortable spot. The vibrations in the antenna are also less noticeable when walking than sitting.
It’s a good option for comfort on a budget. But the Lovense Lush Mini is one of my favorite small eggs because it’s more stimulating while remaining extra comfortable.
The Foxy is comfortable in bed, but the bumpout takes some getting used to when walking.
The Foxy’s bump is one of the more comfortable nub-style designs I’ve tested because it’s plush. The body itself isn’t really flexible, but the bumpout has nice cushioning, and a bit wider than most. So the pressure spreads out more evenly rather than concentrating into one spot, and the plushness helps it feel comfortable against my body – much better than the OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH’s firm nub.
When I’m walking, it shifts, and the amount of pressure it applies against my clit varies – sometimes a gentle press, sometimes firmer, which some people may find uncomfortable. If you prefer a more blanketed, consistent feel against your clit, a broader panty vibrator like the NS Novelties Techno Lucy or the VeDO Niki is a more comfortable pick.
Noise
The Rave is one of the most discreet wearable vibrators I’ve tested. It is extremely quiet, fully masked by normal background noise, and inaudible through a closed door.
In our decibel test, the Rave was too quiet for our sound level meter to register on both low and high power. The room’s ambient noise was 35 dBA, and the Rave never measured above that.
It also passed our background-noise masking test. While I wore the toy, my partner listened from three feet away as we played pink noise at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes – 56, 62, and 68 dBA. He couldn’t hear the Rave at any vibration strength. However, like every wearable vibrator I’ve tested, it is still audible in a fully silent room.
For the closed-door test, my partner listened from outside the bedroom while I used the Rave in bed. I held it like a handheld toy instead of wearing it, since wearing can dampen sound and handheld use gives a more conservative result. He couldn’t hear it on any power level.
The OhMiBod Foxy has quiet decibel readings, but it did worse than many wearables I’ve tested in our Background Noise Masking subtest.
Decibel readings on both low and high power were extremely quiet. The ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and our Sound Level Meter measured the Foxy at just 37.6 dBA on high – quieter than many vibrators, but decibel levels are only a part of the story.
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). At our quietest audio (56 dBA of pink noise), my partner could hear the Foxy at every vibration power
When wearing it, the lowest power had a distinct grating quality, that made it more noticeable. When I was sitting still, my partner couldn’t hear the middle power, but as I walked around, an occasional rattling sound came through. The high power was actually the cleanest of the three – just a hum that almost blended into background noise. Once we stepped the pink noise up to our moderate level (62 dBA) every vibration power was masked.
For our closed-bedroom-door test, my partner stands directly outside the bedroom while I use the toy in bed. He couldn’t hear the Foxy at all from the other side of the door on any power level.
Other panty vibrators were quieter including the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy
Battery Life
The Rave ran for 95 minutes on its highest power setting in our test, which is solid for a budget egg. Most eggs at this price last closer to an hour. However, it still falls short of higher-end eggs, which often run for two hours or more per charge.
The Foxy lasted 55 minutes at its highest power during our testing – short for a panty vibrator in this price range. Since you’ll use the Foxy’s lower and middle settings too, your actual runtime will be longer. But for long sessions, the Lovense Ferri is a better panty vibrator – it lasted 168 minutes in our test, about three times the Foxy’s runtime.
Cleaning
The Rave is easy to clean. It’s fully IPX7 waterproof, so you can rinse it under a running faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water without worry.
The OhMiBod Foxy is easy to clean. It’s IPX7 waterproof, so you can rinse it under a faucet or fully submerge it without worrying about water damage. OhMiBod doesn’t have the IPX rating listed on the Foxy’s product page, but we reached out by email and they confirmed it has an IPX7 rating.
Build Quality
The Rave’s build quality is decent for a budget egg. The silicone body is silky smooth against the skin, and nothing about the toy itself feels easily breakable. But the antenna pull cord is slim and limp, which leaves me a bit nervous about how it’ll hold up over time, though I haven’t seen any performance issues so far.
The Foxy feels well-built. The body is covered in smooth silicone with a small plush portion that feels luxurious.
