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

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Club Vibe is one of the weaker panty vibrators for clit stimulation – not one I can orgasm with hands-free. Having only a single power level (no warmup, no build) and a loose fit, the vibrations just don’t feel stimulating.

For meaningfully better clit stimulation at a lower price, go with the Lovense Ferri (about $20 less) if you want app control, or the VeDO Niki (about half the price) if you want a physical remote.

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

An egg vibrator is a good option if:

1. You enjoy internal vibrations, G-spot pressure, or fullness on its own. (Many people need clit stimulation to orgasm, but internal stimulation can still feel good and be great foreplay.)
2. You plan to pair it with clit stimulation from something else.

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

The Club Vibe 3.OH’s clit vibrations fall short. I can’t orgasm with it hands-free like I can with better panty vibes like the Lovense Ferri and VeDO Niki.

There’s only one power level – sitting at about 6.75 out of 10. There’s no way to dial intensity down for a gentler warmup or up for a stronger finish. And since it’s a hands-free toy, this really eliminates your ability to vary stimulation.

The vibrations also transfer poorly to my clit because there’s no magnet to secure it in place like better panty vibrators have. So the toy slips easily out of position, especially in looser underwear or pants. But even when wearing tight clothes, I still end up pressing the toy against me by hand to try to get the vibrations to feel stronger.

Both the Lovense Ferri and VeDO Niki are better picks with a better fit and more power levels.

We rate panty vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because rumbliness is what most people prefer – but it’s genuinely a personal preference, so consider what you like.

With only one power level, there’s a single frequency: 109 Hz, which is extremely buzzy.

Panty vibes with buzzy clit motors can still feel great if the rest of the design delivers (like the Lovense Ferri). Unfortunately, the poor fit and lack of settings make this toy understimulating no matter the frequency.

If you do prefer rumbly clit vibrations, try the VeDO Niki.

Like all panty vibrators, the OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH only stimulates your clit – not your G-spot. Since most women need clit stimulation to orgasm, a panty vibrator is often the right type of wearable. But if you’re interested in G-spot stimulation instead, see all our recommendations for the best egg vibrators here.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH 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).

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

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

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

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

Tap Float to hold a steady power level and thrusting speed, or Loop to draw a custom pattern that repeats. Since the toy reacts as you draw, you can feel the pattern in real time instead of creating it blindly and testing it later. If you like what you made, tap Record to save it to My Patterns.

You can also control multiple Lovense toys at once with each toy getting its own dots on the Remote screen. For example, you can pair both the Lovense Ferri (a clit vibrator) and the Vulse for simultaneous clit and G-spot stimulation. Or you can control your own toy and a nearby partner’s toy at once. We tested four toys simultaneously without issue.

For presets, the My Patterns screen includes Lovense’s default patterns, anything you’ve saved, and patterns downloaded from Lovense’s active community library.

Lovense’s sound-reactive mode is also the best I’ve used. You can set a minimum decibel threshold, so the toy stays still until the room gets loud enough, and adjust sensitivity to control how much of the toy’s power range it uses. The live decibel readout makes it easy to calibrate. Many other apps either combine these controls or don’t offer a threshold at all.

The music-sync mode works with Spotify or local files and follows the music well enough for hands-free variation. You can cap the intensity to keep it in your comfortable range.

Lovense also includes a few useful extras: Voice Control, device-to-device control with certain Lovense toys, and per-toy max intensity settings. The intensity cap is helpful if you want to limit noise or prevent a partner from pushing the toy too high.

Overall, the Lovense app’s close-range features are excellent – and still the best of any brand I’ve tested.

Lovense also has the best long-distance experience of any brand, by a wide margin.

During messaging or video calls, your partner gets the same excellent Remote screen used for close-range control. They can set a steady intensity/speed with Float or draw a repeating pattern with Loop, so long-distance control doesn’t feel stripped down. The only small downside is that you can’t control your own toy during a video call – only your partner can.

The video call tools are excellent. Incoming calls are easy to notice and accept, and once you’re in a call, the video feed is clear. You can mute, toggle your camera, switch between front and back cameras, cast audio to a speaker, or end the call. The controls stay out of the way until you tap the screen, and you can move your self-view so it doesn’t block your partner.

The app also handles normal phone use well. You can lock your screen or switch to another app without disrupting the session.

Messaging is equally strong. The thread is easy to follow, and you can send voice notes, photos, and videos from your camera or camera roll. There’s also an optional “burn after reading” feature for one-time viewing that prevents screenshots and it works as intended.

Lovense gives you helpful partner settings too. You can let a trusted partner auto-accept control requests, get a notification when they come online, or hide your online status from specific people. Each partner can have different settings.

Lovense also offers the broadest anonymous and group control options. You can send a one-time control link or create a group link for up to 10 people. When the time runs out, they lose access and can’t request control again.

If long-distance play is the main reason you’re buying a wearable vibrator, Lovense is the best choice.

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

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

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

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

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

If the Vulse does disconnect, the app reconnects automatically once the signal is clear. A red “Reconnecting…” message also tells the controlling partner that control has paused. You can choose whether the toy stops vibrating during a disconnect with Auto-Stop, or keeps vibrating at the last intensity level until it reconnects.

Long-distance connectivity is also excellent. The toy connects to your phone over Bluetooth, and your phone connects to your partner’s phone over Wi-Fi or cell data. Since the Bluetooth connection is strong, long-distance play works well as long as your internet connection is decent. Sessions stay stable, commands go through reliably, and locking your phone or switching apps doesn’t disrupt control.

One quirk: if you start a session on Wi-Fi and then switch to cell data, the first switch can drop control and require a quick re-invite. After that, switching works normally. To avoid this, start the session on cellular data and then you can switch freely between the two.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the OhMiBod Club Vibe’s remote features and connectivity.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The remote itself is great – a longer range and a reliable connection set it apart from many panty-vibe remotes. But the toy gives little to control: just one intensity level, a few pulsing patterns, and sound-responsive control. The lack of steady vibration settings is a big downside.

If you want a great remote on a toy with stimulation worth controlling, go with the VeDO Niki (about half the price).

The Lovense Vulse 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 Club Vibe’s remote is functional but flawed.

The toy itself gives the remote almost nothing to work with: you can toggle its single power level on or off, send a “burst” of that same power level by holding the burst button, and cycle through a short loop of four vibration patterns without the ability to adjust their strength.

The remote also has a music/sound-reactive mode, like many apps have, where the toy vibrates in response to ambient sound picked up by a mic on the remote. But the vibes are at one fixed intensity – no softer vibrations for softer sounds.

And since the mic is on the remote, keeping it in your pocket causes more vibrations from your clothes rustling than the sound around you. There’s also a sensitivity adjustment with three settings, indicated by how brightly the power button glows – I couldn’t see any difference between the brightness levels, and I couldn’t feel any difference in how the toy responded between settings.

Partner feedback is better than some. The power button blinks in time with the vibration patterns, so my partner can actually tell what my toy is doing. But it only blinks like this for patterns which most people don’t use much. And the display keeps blinking patterns even when the toy is off – so I can’t fully trust the indicator if something’s gone wrong.

The remote is also comfortable to hold and the buttons feel good. There are four distinct buttons, the click is crisp and satisfying, and the remote’s small size sits naturally in my hand. The buttons are easy to tell apart by touch, but with this many buttons, I still need to glance down to remember which one does what.

If a physical remote is what drew you to the Club Vibe, the VeDO Niki is a better choice for most people. It has a great remote – and more importantly, the toy itself is much better at about half the cost.

The OhMiBod Club Vibe’s remote connectivity is outstanding.

Its connection is reliable through common interference. Body tissue is the main thing that often breaks a remote’s signal during partnered play. Water-rich materials like your body weaken a remote’s signal – and your body often comes between your toy’s receiver and your partner with the remote.

Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Club Vibe holds a stable connection through all of them. Several panty-vibe remotes I have tested drop the connection at one or more of these positions, so a clean pass through all three is a real strength. Our test also runs harsher than typical real-world conditions, so partnered play should stay reliable in practice.

Button presses register with no perceptible lag – the toy reacts the instant I press, keeping the rhythm of play intact. And there’s no annoying reconnection routine when starting to play – the remote’s automatically connected. Though you have to make sure both the toy and remote are turned on separately.

The remote reaches about 200 feet in our open-air max range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. That’s by far the longest of any panty-vibe remote I have tested; the next-longest, the We-Vibe Moxie+, reached about 125 feet in the same test. Real-world range will be somewhat shorter once objects and body interference come in, but the Club Vibe has an outstanding signal strong enough to register at a far distance.

The Club Vibe’s on-toy controls are even more limited than what most panty vibrators offer – the single button is a power switch to turn the toy on, but can’t control the vibrations at all from the on-toy button – you need the remote.

The button is squishy and takes firm pressure to register, with no tactile click to confirm the press worked. And because the toy sits between your body and your underwear, that firm press pushes the toy uncomfortably against your body when you’re starting or stopping it.

In practice this rarely matters during use – the remote handles everything else, and the on-toy button only comes into play at the very beginning or end of a session. But it does mean there’s no real on-toy fallback if you’d rather skip the remote or if you want to try to use the toy like a handheld vibe.

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

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

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

The OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH has one of the least secure fits of any panty vibrator I’ve tested. For a panty vibrator to fit well, it has to have a magnet that secures it to your underwear like the Lovense Ferri and VeDO Niki have, among others. This panty vibe just slips loosely into your underwear.

Without a magnet, I have to rely on tight clothing to hold it close to my clit, which just doesn’t work well.

Even lying down, the Club Vibe shifts around inside my underwear – especially when I roll onto my stomach, where it falls forward too high. During light or heavy activity like walking around, going upstairs, or working out it doesn’t fall out, but it shifts around a ton and doesn’t stay in contact with your clit – so the stimulation’s bad.

If you want a panty vibrator that stays where you put it, go with the Lovense Ferri if you want app control or the VeDO Niki if you’d prefer a physical remote. Both are great, magnetically secured panty vibrators.

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

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

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

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

The Club Vibe’s loose fit makes it less comfortable than magnetically secured panty vibrators.

The loose fit isn’t as bad in bed since the toy’s not moving around a ton. Nothing actively hurts – no pinching, no pressure on my pubic bone, no sharp seams. But the toy is rigid, firm, and just sits loosely in your underwear, so it doesn’t exactly hug your body comfortably either.

Light activity is where the loose fit becomes a bigger distraction. The toy shifts inside my underwear with each step. The loose vibrations tickle as they lightly touch my clit instead of pressing into it, and the rigid, firm toy bumps against me when I walk up and down stairs. Not necessarily painful, but it pulls my attention away from the stimulation in a way the better-fitting panty vibes don’t.

If comfort matters, the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are some of my most comfortable panty vibrators. Each is form-fitting and magnetically secured.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH is a quiet panty vibrator. But better panty vibrators like the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are just as discreet, and better overall.

The Club Vibe is in the most discreet group of wearables I’ve tested for our Background Noise Masking subtest. My partner listens from three feet away while I wear the toy and we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). He couldn’t hear the Club Vibe at any of the three background-noise levels. It is definitely audible in our room without any background audio playing – but every wearable I’ve tested is, no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.

For our closed-bedroom-door test, my partner stands directly outside the bedroom while I use the toy in bed. I use it like a handheld toy since wearing dampens sound, and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around – holding it instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Club Vibe at all from the other side of the door.

But it’s not hard to find a panty vibrator at this same level of discretion. The VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are similarly quiet and better in other important areas.

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

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

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

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

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

During our testing, the OhMiBod Club Vibe lasted 40 minutes continuously running on its only power level – short of an hour, and the lowest of any panty vibrator I have tested. The runtime is a hard ceiling too: with only one power level, there are no lower settings to fall back on to stretch the battery the way you can with most panty vibrators.

If runtime matters to you, the Lovense Ferri lasted 168 minutes at max power in our test – more than four times longer than the OhMiBod Club Vibe – and is about $20 cheaper.

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

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

The OhMiBod Club Vibe is easy to clean. It’s rated IPX7 waterproof, so I can rinse it under a faucet or submerge it without worrying about water damage.

One oddity worth mentioning is that OhMiBod’s own product listings discuss the Club Vibe as “splash-proof” rather than waterproof. When I reached out to OhMiBod about the discrepancy, they confirmed in writing that the toy is genuinely IPX7-rated and fully waterproof – but they label it splash-proof on their site as a precaution because they say the pin charger might wear over time with repeated use.

Because of the odd situation, we did a quick check on this product ourselves (not as rigorous as the official standardized IPX7 testing). We filled our bathroom sink with water and submerged this product for 20 minutes. It has continued to work fine. And to get an IPX7 rating (which this toy has), it has to undergo standardized immersion testing in a meter deep of water for 30 minutes without allowing harmful water damage. Because of our own quick check and the fact this toy has an IPX7 rating, we personally feel comfortable submerging it, but you can decide for yourself what you’re comfortable with.

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

The Club Vibe’s build feels cheaper than its price suggests. The back of the toy hard plastic, but even the front’s silicone is thin and feels plastic-y, without the plushness or give of many panty vibrators. Both the toy and the remote have a lightweight, somewhat hollow feel to them. The on-toy button is squishy and lacks a satisfying click, but the remote’s silicone buttons are crisp and feel nice.

That said, nothing has rattled or broken in our testing, and the Club Vibe has held up reliably so far. But other panty vibrators in this price range, like the Lovense Ferri, feel sturdier and better-made.

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

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