NS Novelties Techno Rave vs We-Vibe Moxie+ 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 We-Vibe Moxie+ is only good if you genuinely need both an app and a physical remote – and are willing to use the remote as the primary control, because the app isn’t reliable. But the Moxie+ generally underperforms compared to other app-controlled panty vibes like the Lovense Ferri and other remote-controlled vibrators like the VeDO Niki.
The app is a big downside. It’s buggy in close range and inconsistent for long-distance. Controls occasionally freeze and often you can’t connect with a long-distance partner at all. Stimulation is the other limitation. The vibrations are only moderately strong and the Moxie+’s firm, straight body doesn’t maintain good clitoral contact.
If both an app and a remote genuinely matter to you, the Moxie+ is okay – it’s secure, reasonably comfortable, and quiet. But it’s generally worse than other options if you’re fine with choosing a single control method. Consider the Ferri for app control or the VeDO Niki for remote control.
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.
For wearing around, the We-Vibe Moxie+ works okay – the magnet holds the toy mostly in place with walking, stairs, and heavier movement, but it does swivel a little side-to-side. The vibrations are also quiet. The remote is comfortable to operate by feel from a pocket, but it struggles with body interference so your partner needs a clear shot to you, or you’ll want to control it yourself. The 85-minute battery is decent.
The clit stimulation itself is just okay since the straight body doesn’t transfer the vibrations to your clit as well as curved panty vibrators. And the app is unreliable so you won’t want to rely on it.
For wearing around, the Lovense Ferri and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are better app-controlled* options, or the VeDO Niki is a good remote-controlled option.
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 We-Vibe Moxie+ is subpar for hands-free clit stimulation in bed. Its vibrations are only moderately strong, and the firm, straight body transfers that power inconsistently to my clit.
It stays securely in place in bed, has a decent battery life, and a convenient remote for controlling the toy yourself. But I can’t orgasm with it hands-free like I can with the Lovense Ferri and 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 We-Vibe Moxie+ is terrible for long-distance play. The We-Vibe app’s long-distance experience has a persistent bug where the app claims both partners are “offline”, and blocks most sessions before they start. And when my partner and I do get past it, control often breaks within a minute.
For long-distance play, go with the Lovense Ferri. The Lovense app’s long-distance experience is the best of any brand I’ve tested.

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 Moxie+’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Moxie+’s clit stimulation is middle-of-the-road. It’s moderately strong, but the straight design transfers that power inconsistently to my clit. And it’s not that rumbly either like people often expect from We-Vibe.
If you value clit stimulation most, the Lovense Ferri is strongest, or go with the VeDO Niki if you care more about rumbliness. Both are stronger than the Moxie+ and transfer their vibrations better to my clit.
Clit Vibrations: Power, Range, and Transfer Effectiveness
The Moxie+’s clit motor delivers decent power, but its straight, firm body doesn’t transfer that power to your clit as reliably as the best panty vibrators.
At 6.75 out of 10, the top setting is about 72% of the Lovense Ferri‘s 9.35 and a step behind the VeDO Niki‘s 8.0. I can’t orgasm hands-free with the Moxie+ like I can with those other two panty vibes.
The range is wide with small, comfortable steps between levels. When controlled with the remote, the Moxie+ steps through 13 levels from a very gentle 0.70 up to its 6.75 top setting – so there’s plenty of warmup levels and moderate settings, just nothing very strong at the top.
The vibration transfer to my clit is inconsistent. With a handheld you can press harder for more intensity; with a wearable, the toy’s shape has naturally deliver the vibrations to your clit, and shapes that contour to your body do that better.
The Moxie+ is firm, long, and straight, so it doesn’t stay snug against the body. When I get it situated just right, transfer is fine, but keeping it there is difficult. The straight body slips out of position with normal movement, the same way the Romp Party does, and once it shifts, the intensity I actually feel drops off.
If you want stronger clit stimulation, both the Ferri(app-controlled) and Niki(remote-controlled) are better choices.
Clit Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy because most people prefer them – but it’s a personal preference, and some people prefer buzzy – I personally like both.
The Moxie+’s rumbliness is subpar. It’s extremely rumbly on its lowest settings (starting around 49 Hz), but moderately buzzy at median power (102 Hz), and extremely buzzy at the top (122 Hz). Since the lowest settings are gentle and mostly warmup levels – most of the frequency range you’ll use will feel buzzy.
That’s essentially the same profile as most other panty vibrator I’ve tested except the VeDO Niki.
The Lovense Ferri, Romp Party, and NS Novelties Techno Lucy all run moderately buzzy at median power and cross into extremely buzzy on high. However, because some options, like the Ferri, have more power at similar frequencies to the Moxie+, the stronger ones actually feel more rumbly than the Moxie+.
For a wearable clit vibrator, frequency matters less than the power and how reliably the toy delivers that power to your clit – frequency is secondary. But the Moxie+ is only decent on all three. If rumbly vibrations are specifically what you’re after in a panty vibe, the VeDO Niki is the most rumbly and it gets the power and clit transfer right too.
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 We-Vibe Moxie+ 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 We-Vibe app’s close-range features, long-distance features, and connectivity in detail.
Here’s the main conclusion:
We-Vibe’s app is buggy in close range and unreliable in long-distance. Lovense’s app is by far the better app.
In close-range there are ongoing bugs that affect several products, including the Moxie+. The controls sometimes freeze and require you to close/re-open the app. Long-distance control has a bug that often blocks you from connecting at all.
While the Moxie+ specifically has shown fewer bugs in our testing than other We-Vibe products like the We-Vibe Chorus Pro, Jive 2, and other newer models, the persistent glitches for other products make it hard to trust the Moxie+ either.
If app control is a priority to you in a panty vibrator, go with the Lovense Ferri. Its app is the best of any brand, with outstanding features and connectivity. Plus, the Ferri is the panty vibrator I orgasm with hands-free the easiest.
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 We-Vibe Moxie+’s close-range features in the app are decent when they work. It has simple control interfaces to adjust intensity and choose from preset patterns without in-depth custom pattern creation. But bugs occasionally cause the controls to break, which requires an app restart. While the bugs are less prominent for the Moxie+ than for We-Vibe’s newer toys, if app control is a priority, the Lovense Ferri is a far better choice.
We-Vibe’s main control happens on two screens: Single Vibe and Multi Vibe. They work similarly – you drag an on-screen dot to adjust the intensity, and the toy keeps vibrating wherever you leave it. Multi Vibe also splits the screen into four corners, each holding a preset pattern you choose, so dragging the dot into a corner switches to that pattern at whatever strength the dot’s position represents.
It’s a clean design for the basics, and a quick way to flip between a constant intensity and a preset without a menu detour. Unfortunately there’s an annoying bug on the Single and Multi Vibe screens where the motor’s dot sometimes freezes or becomes non-interactive at times.
What you can’t do from these screens is create a custom pattern in the moment the way you can in the Lovense or Satisfyer apps. Pattern creation lives on a separate screen and is pretty unusable.
It’s hidden on a separate screen that takes a few taps to find. Once you’re there, you draw a waveform without being able to feel it; you save and name the pattern, navigate back to the control screen, select the pattern, and only then find out what it feels like.
Patterns are also capped at the width of your screen, so what you create comes back short and choppy. My partner and I both tried creating patterns; his played, mine crashed the app on every one of four attempts and I gave up.
The preset patterns are easy to use but basic. There are 10 of them, each with a name and a one-line waveform icon, so you can roughly tell what you’re picking before you select it. The simple ones – Pulse, Wave – match their names and icons well enough, but others are not intuitive.
You adjust the intensity of a preset pattern from the Single Vibe and Multi Vibe with the control dot. There’s also a Playlist feature for stringing presets together into longer, more varied sequences, but you can’t feel what you’re assembling as you build it, so it’s mostly guesswork – I don’t use it.
Multi-toy control (like if you have a Moxie+ and a Jive 2 for G-spot stimulation) is decent when it works. You can connect several toys at once (we got four going simultaneously) and either control each one independently or merge them all into a single dot. But often one or more of the toys just stopped responding to our actions in the app.
Sound and music modes are okay. Sound mode uses your phone’s mic to make the toy respond to ambient noise. Music mode plays the toy in time with songs saved locally on your phone (no Spotify or Apple Music streaming, which is a bummer).
Both work, but the controls aren’t well labeled – figuring out whether you’re adjusting the mic’s sensitivity or the toy’s max power takes some experimenting. And there’s no minimum-volume threshold, so you can’t tell the toy not to vibrate unless the sound around you is above a certain level.
For better close-range features without bugs, 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 We-Vibe app’s long-distance features are broken. The features are designed fine in theory, but persistent bugs make long-distance play unreliable enough that I can’t recommend the app for it at all. If you need long-distance play, get the Lovense Ferri instead.
The long-distance experience mirrors close-range. Your partner gets the same Single Vibe, Multi Vibe, and Touch screens to control your Moxie+, and vice-versa. You can even take back control of your own toy mid-session without ending the call – a feature I wish more apps had.
But the same bugs from close-range control affect the long-distance control – the control dot occasionally freezes or becomes unresponsive. Additionally, both partners frequently show up as “offline” to each other even when you’re both in the app, which prevents you from starting a session at all.
Even when long-distance does connect, getting into a video call takes four separate request-and-accepts (call, camera, control of your toy, control of theirs). And the in-app video feed is blurry and choppy in a way Lovense’s isn’t.
The messaging itself is decent as a basic messenger, with text, photos, voice notes, and video clips. We-Vibe also lets you save multiple partners, but doesn’t offer the anonymous one-time control links or the auto-accept settings for trusted partners that Lovense’s app does.
For long-distance play, the Lovense Ferri is cheaper and a far better panty vibrator.
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 We-Vibe app’s connectivity with the Moxie+ is poor in close-range and broken in long-distance.
The Bluetooth hardware itself is fine: range is excellent, and body interference doesn’t faze it. But bugs cause unreliable reconnection, frequent command misses, and trouble with long-distance play. Lovense has the most reliable app connectivity by a wide margin – consider the Lovense Ferri if app control is a priority.
Initial pairing in close-range is straightforward – add the Moxie+ to the app’s toy carousel once, and from then on it’s two taps to connect with no on-toy action needed. For most people, who own one or two We-Vibe toys and use a single phone, this part works fine.
The breakdown happens if you own several We-Vibe toys and switch between them often, or if you regularly switch which phone is controlling the same toy (like if you and your partner both connect occasionally). This causes the quick-connect routine to fail, and recovering often means deleting the toy from the app, forgetting it from your phone’s Bluetooth settings, and walking through the full pairing flow again – an annoying start to your play.
Reconnection during play is inconsistent. If you drop signal and get back in range within 10-20 seconds, the app typically reconnects automatically – but during that window the app doesn’t show that the connection has dropped, so your partner can be “controlling” the toy on screen while nothing is actually happening to your toy. Wait too long to come back in range and you’ll have to tap through the connection screens again, sometimes including holding the on-toy button, which can be awkward when you’re wearing the toy.
Even when the connection holds, the app’s controls break. Command misses are frequent enough that I don’t trust the app to keep up with what I’m asking it to do. Especially on Single and Multi Vibe screens.
The Moxie+ handles body interference cleanly. Our body-interference test simulates partner-control at three progressively harder positions – angles where your body sits between a partner’s phone and the toy which can block the signal. The Moxie+ holds a stable connection at all three. Water-rich body tissue weakens Bluetooth signals more than walls or clothes, and many wearables drop the connection at the third, most severe position; the Moxie+ doesn’t. The signal is strong, and the reliability problems are app-side. Bluetooth range is also excellent – the connection held at 250 feet in our open-air test.
Long-distance is where the app is fully broken. The problem is the two app-level bugs I covered in the Long Distance Features section above: both partners frequently show as “offline” to each other and can’t start a session at all, and when they do connect, control commands often stop reaching the toys. Both bugs happen regularly without a reliable way to fix it.
If reliable app connectivity is what you need – close-range or long-distance – go with the Lovense Ferri. It has outstanding connectivity and it’s the panty vibrator I can most consistently orgasm with hands-free.
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 Moxie+’s remote features and connectivity in detail.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Moxie+’s remote is good for solo play or partnered play where your partner has a clear line-of-sight to you (like not sitting at an angle to you or behind you). It has all the controls you need and a long connection range.
The one limitation is body interference: commands often don’t go through when your body sits in the signal path between your partner’s remote and the toy, where most panty-vibe remotes I’ve tested hold steady.
Go with the VeDO Niki for reliable through-body partner control.
Remote Control: Features
The We-Vibe Moxie+’s remote features are great.
One of the best aspects is that the power and pattern controls are separate. There’s dedicated + and − buttons to move forward and backward through 13 power levels, and pressing and holding either button steps through them quickly to reach a higher or lower setting faster.
And there’s forward and backward buttons to move through the 6 vibration patterns. So I never have to cycle past patterns to reach a power level or vice versa – many remotes put them on the same loop.
The remote itself is comfortable to hold. It’s small and silicone-coated sitting naturally in my hand, and the buttons are raised enough that I can feel which is which without looking – this kind of eyes-free operation can be a practical advantage of a remote over an app.
Like most remotes, the Moxie+’s remote just blinks when a button is pressed – there’s no way for the partner holding it to tell what setting your toy is on. It’s not a huge deal, especially if you’re often the one controlling your own toy. But for a controlling partner, it can feel less engaging than an app’s visual feedback.
Remote Control: Connectivity
The Moxie+’s remote works well on many connection aspects – fast responsiveness, instant reconnection, and one of the longer ranges of my panty vibrators’ remotes (125 ft in our test). But it’s significantly affected by body interference.
Body tissue between the remote and the toy is the main thing that breaks a remote’s signal during partner control – your body can sit in the signal path between your partner’s remote and the toy. And water-rich materials like your body can significantly dampen Bluetooth and RF signals.
Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Moxie+’s remote drops the connection at all three – the worst of any panty vibrator (including the original Moxie). The on-toy button flashes indicating it has lost connection, and you have to move the remote closer to recover.
It’s important to understand our test runs harsher than typical real-world conditions. At many angles, an external toy like a panty vibrator won’t have any body interference blocking the signal. So your partner-controlled play may be less drop-prone in practice. And for solo control when I’m holding the remote myself, commands have gone through reliably. But most panty-vibe remotes and apps I’ve tested hold a reliable connection through body interference.
If you want reliable control without worrying about where your partner is positioned from you, go with the VeDO Niki for a remote controlled toy or the Lovense Ferri for an app-controlled toy.
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 Moxie+’s on-toy controls are limited by design – the toy sits inside your underwear during use, so you’ll typically rely on the remote.
A single button cycles through four power levels and six patterns, with no minus button. To step back to a gentler power, you click forward through the rest of the loop.
The button is easy to feel, but it’s slim and takes more pressure than most. It also sits at the very top of the toy, so pressing it pushes the toy uncomfortably against my clit. Slipping my thumb under to brace it works, but it’s awkward.
For the full 13-step power range – and any adjustment you’d rather not reach into your underwear to make – the remote does the real work.
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 Moxie+’s magnet anchors the toy reliably to your underwear in bed, while walking, and during heavy exercise, but there’s some side-to-side swiveling.
The magnet is strong, but it’s a small disc at the top of a long toy without any body contouring. The magnet pins the clit-end securely and that point stays locked to your underwear. But the long, straight lower end has room to swing slightly side-to-side as I move. The more body-contouring shape of panty vibrators like the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy reduces that side-to-side movement.
Underwear choice also matters across every activity – form-fitting underwear keeps the Moxie+ snug much better. With a looser pair, the magnet still holds, but the underwear itself can shift and move the toy with it.
In bed, with tight underwear, I could keep the Moxie+ in a good, stimulating position.
Standing, walking, or doing heavier activity like running/jumping is where it moves side-to-side more and the contact with my clit loosens a bit – something a lot of magnetic panty vibes do to some degree. The toy doesn’t drift sideways or come loose, but gravity pulls my underwear (and the toy with it) a bit away from my clit when I’m upright. Pulling everything up to sit closer to my body fixes it, but it’s an adjustment I make every so often.
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 Moxie+ is comfortable without too much movement, but its firm, slim body delivers more focused pressure on my clit than broader panty vibrators – pleasant if you like a precise point of contact, potentially uncomfortable if you don’t.
In bed, the silicone surface is soft and smooth and doesn’t tap around too much. With no flex and a slim profile, the Moxie+ contacts a precise area for focused stimulation.
When I’m walking around, the same firm, straight shape shifts more than a broader or contoured toy would – particularly on stairs or when I’m going from sitting to standing. Sometimes this can feel more stimulating, but other times it’s uncomfortable. If you’re sensitive to overstimulation, the lack of control here may be overwhelming.
A broader panty vibrator with more even pressure is more consistently comfortable. Like the VeDO Niki (remote-controlled) and the NS Novelties Techno Lucy (app-controlled). Two more comfortable picks at a lower price.
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 We-Vibe Moxie+ is quiet.
Decibel readings on low and high were both too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to register. The ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and the Moxie+ never measured higher than that.
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 quiet audio (56 dB), every setting was masked except high – on high, my partner could just barely make out a low hum, and only when I held still. Once I started moving, even high became hard to discern.
At our moderate and loud volumes, every setting was fully masked. It’s also worth noting that every wearable I’ve tested, including the Moxie+, is audible in a fully silent room (no pink noise playing) – no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.
For the closed-door test, my partner listens directly outside our bedroom door while I use the toy in bed. I use it as a handheld since wearing dampens sound and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around – holding gives the most conservative results. My partner could not hear the Moxie+ on any power level.
It’s worth noting that the Moxie+ is quieter than the original Moxie. We’re uncertain whether that is a design upgrade, or if the Moxie just grew lounder over time.
If you want a panty vibrator that was fully masked by our quietest tested background level (56 dBA), consider the NS Novelties Techno Lucy (app-controlled) or VeDO Niki (remote-controlled).
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 Moxie+ has decent battery life – 85 minutes on its highest power in our test. If you specifically want a long battery life, go with the Lovense Ferri which lasted nearly twice as long (168 minutes).
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 We-Vibe Moxie+ is fully IPX7 waterproof, so it’s very easy to clean. You can run it under a 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 Moxie+ is solidly built. The body is nearly identical to the original We-Vibe Moxie – a smooth silicone coating over a firm core, with a moderate-strength magnet holding it to your underwear. The on-toy button is the older We-Vibe design, harder to press than the buttons on newer toys but still workable.
