NS Novelties Techno Rave vs Romp Party Side-By-Side Comparison
Use Case Ratings
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 Romp Party has a strong motor and a reliable basic remote, but it doesn’t fit well to the body to transfer the vibrations effectively, making it underperform compared to better panty vibrators in this price range.
The Party’s vibes are strongest in the center of the toy, so you have to situate it higher than it naturally falls to feel more of the vibrations. The straight body also shifts off your clit when walking and bounces around during heavier movement, so it doesn’t hold up well for wearing it around outside the bedroom.
In this price range, the Niki and the Lucy are both more stimulating, more comfortable, and fit more securely. Go with the Niki if you want a physical remote, or the Lovense Ferri if you’d rather control the toy from an app (though its more expensive).
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 Romp Party is just okay to wear around. Its quiet, has a reliable basic remote that gives you or your partner good control, and the vibrations are strong. But the Romp Party’s long, stick-straight design doesn’t curve with your body, so when walking, contact is inconsistent, causing mediocre stimulation.
Thankfully there are better options in this price range. The VeDO Niki is just as quiet, fits more securely, and is more stimulating. If you’d rather control the toy from your phone, including for partnered long-distance play, the app-controlled NS Novelties Techno Lucy is better.
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 Romp Party is fine for hands-free use in bed. The magnet holds it in place well while you’re lying in bed, and the motor is strong – though even in bed you have to situate the toy a little higher than it naturally wants to sit to feel more of the vibrations, since its strongest point is at the middle of the toy rather than the top. And it doesn’t curve with your body the way better panty vibrators do. Its stick-straight design is actually shaped like a typical bullet vibrator.
For hands-free clit stimulation in-bed, in this price range both the VeDO Niki and the NS Novelties Techno Lucy are more comfortable and fit better, so they’re more stimulating without the placement effort. Go with the Niki if you want a physical remote, or the Lucy if you’d rather control the toy from an app (though its app is very basic and spammy).
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.
This product does not support long-distance play.

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 Romp Party’s clit-motor power and rumbliness in-depth.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Romp Party falls in the middle of the panty-vibe pack on clit stimulation. Its motor is technically strong, but the straight design doesn’t transfer enough of that strength to my clit, and the vibrations are buzzy on the settings I actually use. In this price range, for a more stimulating panty vibe, go with the VeDO Niki if you want a physical remote, or the NS Novelties Techno Lucy if you want an app.
Clit Vibrations: Power, Range, and Transfer Effectiveness
The Romp Party has one of the strongest top settings of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, though its design doesn’t transfer all of that power to your clit. The motor reaches a 9 out of 10 in vibration strength at its highest setting. Of my panty vibrators, only the Lovense Ferri reaches a higher top power. The Romp Party is just behind it. Spread across 7 distinct power levels from a gentle 1 out of 10 warmup up to that 9 at the top, it has one of the widest power ranges of any panty vibrator in this price range.
But with a wearable, you can’t press harder for more intensity the way you can with a handheld – the toy’s shape and fit has to naturally deliver the motor’s strength to your body. This is where the Romp Party’s design works against it. Its strongest vibrations are at the middle of the toy rather than at the clit where most panty vibrators concentrate them, so I had to situate it up higher in my underwear to feel more of the vibrations. This felt a bit unnatural, and my underwear kept trying to push it out of that placement.
The Romp Party is also straight rather than contoured, so it doesn’t sit snugly against my clit the way better-fitting panty vibes with a curve do, like the Lovense Ferri and VeDO Niki. When I get the placement right, it’s reasonably stimulating, but getting it right takes more effort than I want from a hands-free toy and requires frequent readjustments.
So the Party feels less stimulating than the raw 9 out of 10 strength suggests. If you want a panty vibe in this price range that delivers more of its motor’s strength to your clit, the VeDO Niki is a better option – its top setting is a notch lower at 8 out of 10, but its body-contoured shape gets more of that power where you actually feel it, so I can orgasm with it hands-free. For the strongest motor and best vibration transfer of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, try the Ferri for about $40 more.
Clit Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate panty vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them, but it’s genuinely a personal preference.
The Romp Party is not very rumbly.
Its lowest power level is technically extremely rumbly at 59 Hz, but that’s the warmup setting – too gentle for the rumbliness to feel very stimulating. From there, frequency climbs as power does: the toy is moderately buzzy by its mid-range at around 100 Hz (about average for a panty vibe), and extremely buzzy at 127 Hz at the top. Since the vibrations don’t transfer well, I need to crank the power to feel anything, so most of my use with this toy is in the buzzy range.
If you care about rumbly vibrations, the VeDO Niki is one of the only truly rumbly panty vibrators and it’s an excellent choice in the same price range.
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 Romp Party 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.
The Romp Party 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).
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.
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.
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.
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).
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Romp Party’s remote features and connectivity.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Romp Party has a basic, reliable remote – stable connection, instant response, and separate + and – buttons to adjust the power. Remotes can be useful if you don’t want to use a phone to control your toy.
Its main limitations are typical of remotes versus apps: less partner feedback and shorter range. If you want this more-detailed control, go with the Lovense Ferri for the best app control, or the NS Novelties Techno Lucy for a budget-friendly app experience.
Remote Control: Features
The Romp Party’s remote is simple, but works well – the two-button design gives all the control you’d need for power adjustment. Its few minor downsides are typical of remotes in general compared to apps.
Power control is fast and direct – the dedicated + and − buttons let you move forward and backward through seven power levels, and there are no vibration patterns to cycle through at all, which keeps the remote uncluttered. And you won’t accidentally switch from a constant setting to a pulse or wave.
The remote is comfortable to hold – a good size, fits easily in my hand, and the buttons are easy to tell apart by feel so I don’t have to look at the remote. This is a big upside compared to an app-controlled toy if you don’t want you or a partner to have to be tied to a phone. With the Party, you can make adjustments from your pocket without looking.
Like most panty-vibe remotes, the Romp Party’s partner feedback is just a faint blink when you press a button – there’s no way to tell what setting the toy is on. That’s fine if you’re using the toy yourself, and many partners won’t mind. But others find it less engaging when they can’t tell what the toy is doing or what you’re feeling.
An app-controlled panty vibe gives your partner real-time visuals of the toy’s vibrations, which can make controlling it feel more engaging. If that’s a priority for you, the Lovense Ferri is the best app-controlled panty vibe.
Remote Control: Connectivity
The Romp Party’s remote connectivity is excellent, though its maximum range lands in the middle of the pack.
The remote maintains a reliable connection through typical interference. Body tissue between a remote and toy is the main thing that typically breaks a remote’s signal during partnered control. Remote’s signals are weakened by water-rich materials like your body sitting between the remote and your toy.
Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Romp Party holds a stable connection through all of them. Our test also runs harsher than typical real-world conditions, so partner-controlled play should stay reliable in practice.
Button presses register instantly – the toy reacts before my finger even lifts off the button. And the remote is always connected, so there’s no reconnection routine when starting to play.
One quirk: occasionally a click sounds as if it went through but the click was too light or off-center to make it actually take affect. You do have to give a deliberate, full press of the button.
The remote reaches about 55 feet in our open-air range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. This is middle-of-the-road for the wearable vibrators’ remotes we tested, and real-world range will likely be shorter once objects and body interference come in. But the Romp Party has comfortable headroom for most activities, and especially any same-room use. If you need an especially long range, many app-controlled toys stay connected much farther – for instance, the Lovense Ferri stayed connected until 190 feet in our same test.
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 Romp Party’s on-toy controls are limited by design – the toy is inside your underwear during use, so you’ll typically rely on the remote.
There’s a single button on the toy that cycles forward through the seven power levels, with no patterns mixed into the loop. Unlike the remote, there’s no minus button – dropping back to a gentler setting means clicking forward until you start over in the cycle. Since there’s not many settings it doesn’t take too long to cycle, so the controls work fine if you also want to occasionally use it like a handheld vibe.
The button is well-placed: easy to feel and press without looking, and centered in the middle of the toy rather than tucked at the top the way most panty-vibe buttons sit. Pressing it does push the toy against you, which some people may find slightly uncomfortable, but the mid-toy placement distributes the pressure more evenly across your body than a button near your clit would.
The on-toy button works fine as a backup, but the remote is the main way you’ll use the Romp Party.
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 Romp Party’s secure fit is great in bed but gets worse with activity. It’s much more secure than panty vibrators without a magnet that just sit loosely in your underwear. But its long, straight body doesn’t curve along your vulva, so it shifts off my clit more easily during walking and moves around during heavier activity than curved toys – even though the magnet keeps the toy itself anchored to my underwear.
In bed, the magnet locks the toy to my underwear and doesn’t slip from where I position it. The toy moves a bit with my body when I shift around, but it stays anchored and keeps a good position for stimulation fairly easily – you’re generally not moving around a ton here so the toy doesn’t shift off your clit that much. Form-fitting underwear helps; loose underwear lets the toy bounce against me more.
Walking is where the design starts working against the toy. The toy stays anchored to the underwear, but it doesn’t press as firmly against my body as panty vibes that curve with your vulva and it wiggles around more easily – so contact between the toy and my clit goes from solid in bed to only decent during light activity like walking around. When wearing a thong, the toy is long enough that the back end can poke out of the underwear as the toy starts to shift; full-backed underwear keeps that from happening.
Heavier activity is the hardest test. Running and jumping jacks bounce the toy around enough that stimulation drops off even more. It doesn’t fall out, but it’s not a good experience.
The magnet design is part of why this toy shifts more. It’s a small disc with decent strength, but it’s not big enough to anchor the long body of the toy completely and prevent the end from swinging around as I move. Still, the magnet is a clear improvement over panty vibes that just tuck into your underwear.
If you want a panty vibe that stays put while you move, the VeDO Niki is a better option in this price range – its body curves, so it stays firmly against your clit during walking instead of shifting off the way the Romp Party does.
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 Romp Party is comfortable in bed if you like focused, slim contact against your clit, but it shifts around enough when walking to cause some slight discomfort.
In bed, I’m not moving a ton, so the toy sits consistently against my body. The silicone is soft and smooth with no poke-y spots. While the contact is more focused than what I get from broader, contoured panty vibes, the pressure stays light enough to feel comfortable.
When walking, the slim, straight shape moves around more than a broader or contoured toy would. The materials are still smooth and there’s no pinching, but the toy taps against my clit a little more than I’d like. If wearing it with a thong, the back end sometimes sticks out of your underwear which is a distracting feeling.
For comfort, both the VeDO Niki and the NS Novelties Techno Lucy are better picks in this price range – each is more form-fitting to keep the toy from shifting uncomfortably.
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 Romp Party is in the most discreet group of wearable vibrators I’ve tested. However, more stimulating panty vibrators like the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are similarly quiet, so they’re better options for most people.
The Romp Party’s decibel readings on low and high power were extremely quiet, too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to pick up on. The ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and the Romp Party never measured higher than this.
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). He couldn’t hear the Romp Party at any vibration strength under any of the three tested volumes of background noise. It’s audible in our room without any pink noise playing – but every wearable I’ve tested is, no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.
For the closed-door part of the test, my partner listens directly outside our bedroom door while I use the toy in bed. I use it like a handheld toy here, since wearing dampens sound and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around. Holding the toy instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Romp Party from behind the door on any setting.
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 Romp Party has long battery life – much longer than typical for a panty vibrator in this price range. It lasted 115 minutes at its highest power during our test, more than twice as long as the comparably-priced VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy (both 55 minutes).
If you want even longer, the Lovense Ferri runs about 2.8 hours at top power. It’s pricier than the Romp Party but is a much better panty vibrator overall.
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.

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 Romp Party’s build quality is decent for the price, but a step behind most panty vibrators I’ve tested. It’s coated in a nice silicone with a slight flex to the core, and the on-toy and remote-control buttons each have a satisfying click feel. The plastic remote feels fairly sturdy too even though it’s quite lightweight.
The weak spot is the magnet that holds the toy to your underwear. It has decent grip when seated, but it protrudes far enough from the toy that it’s easy to knock off by accident – and the same small magnet is what struggles to anchor the long, stick-straight body during heavier movement.
