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

Here’s the main conclusion:

The OhMiBod Foxy’s clit stimulation is just decent – strong on paper, but its straight, fairly heavy body doesn’t deliver that power to your clit well. The motor is strong, the rumbliness is average, and the stimulation area slips out of position too easily for steady contact. I can’t orgasm with it hands-free, like I can with the Lovense Ferri.

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

Here’s the main conclusion: the Flexer provides some of the more-intense clit stimulation out of the dual-stim wearables I have tested, and I can orgasm with it hands-free. The vibrations are buzzy and the flexing motion on your clit can be overstimulating at times though.

If more consistent clit pressure and rumbliness matters most, go with the Lovense Dolce, which doesn’t have a movement motor. If you’re interested in the motion and enjoy buzzy vibes, stick with the Flexer.

The OhMiBod Foxy’s clit motor reaches a strong top power of 8.5 out of 10 with only a few panty vibes, like the Lovense Ferri and the NS Novelties Techno Lucy, hitting higher top powers. But the Foxy’s design doesn’t transfer that strength to your clit as well as other panty vibrators.

Across its seven power levels, the Foxy spans a wide range – a gentle 1 out of 10 at the bottom rising gradually to that strong 8.5 top. So its vibrations cover good warmup levels, moderate settings, and strong levels for the finish.

But the vibrations only transfer well to your clit when you situate it just right. The toy is straight, fairly heavy, and has a large rounded bumpout near the clit end. So it tends to pull down in my underwear or roll off slightly to the side, so the bumpout (the part in contact with your clit) slips off the ideal spot. Though it stays near or partially in contact with my clit. For me, it’s most consistent when I’m sitting up in bed and not moving around much.

But the lack of the more direct, consistent clit contact means it doesn’t feel quite strong enough to me, and I can’t orgasm with it hands-free like I can with the Lovense Ferri or VeDO Niki.

The Flexer’s clit motor is very strong, reaching 9.1 out of 10 on high – one of my strongest wearables. And it still starts gently enough that I can warm up before using the stronger settings.

With wearables, strong motors only matter if the toy keeps that motor in contact with your body. In bed, the Flexer does that well, but in a unique way: When the flexing motion is active, the external arm moves back and forth, varying the clit pressure. This makes the stimulation feel stronger and more interesting to me as the external arm presses those vibrations firmly into my clit.

The Flexer is a good fit if you like movement and intensity shifts, but some will prefer consistent contact instead. If you want a dual-stimulation toy that stays in one spot and a more controlled feel, go with the vibration-only Lovense Dolce. The Lelo Ida Wave’s clit stimulation is also more consistent and rumbly while also providing G-spot stimulation from motion.

We rate panty vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. But plenty of people enjoy buzzy vibes too, so this is up to your personal preference.

The Foxy isn’t particularly rumbly. Like almost all panty vibrators I’ve tested, it’s centered in the moderately buzzy frequency range – the Lovense Ferri sits in the same place, so neither is rumbly.

Its lowest power level is moderately rumbly at 66 Hz, but that’s the warmup setting – too gentle for the rumbliness to come through in any meaningful way. From there, frequency climbs as power does: the Foxy is moderately buzzy through the middle of its range at around 99 Hz, and extremely buzzy at 122 Hz on its top setting. And because the Foxy’s transfer is inconsistent, you’ll likely spend most of your time on the upper, buzzy settings to feel enough power.

If rumbly vibrations are what you want from a panty vibe, the VeDO Niki is the only panty vibrator I’ve tested with a deep, rumbly motor.

We generally rate rumbly vibrations higher because most people enjoy them more, but buzzy versus rumbly is still a preference. The Flexer’s clit motor is for people who like strong, extremely buzzy intensity. It’s actually my buzziest dual-stimulation wearable.

The clit vibrations range from 139.59 Hz on low to 244.51 Hz on high – extremely buzzy throughout its entire range. The two vibration motors create a faint wobble sensation when they play off each other, which adds some complexity. But the Flexer is not at all rumbly.

If buzzy vibrations feel tickly or numb to you, the Lovense Dolce or Lelo Ida Wave are better.

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

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Flexer’s G-spot vibration power, rumbliness, and flexing motion.

Here’s the main conclusion: the Flexer’s G-spot stimulation is good for a dual-stim wearable, but the flexing motion contributes less than you’d expect. The external arm moves more than the internal arm with each flex, so you can feel some internal pressure, but it’s gentle.

Thankfully, the bulbous design transfers the vibrations well to the front wall. So the combination of internal vibes and gentle movement combines for an enjoyable experience.

But handheld vibrators provide much firmer front-wall pressure since you can leverage the base with your hand. Two of my favorites are the We-Vibe Nova 2 and Lovense Nora.

The Flexer’s G-spot vibrations reach a moderate 4.9 out of 10 strength that enhances the experience when paired with the toy’s external vibes and flexing motion. I’m able to orgasm with the Flexer when the internal and external vibrations work together with the flexing motion.

But, the Lovense Dolce’s internal arm has nearly double the vibration strength of the Flexer. Both have an excellent, bulbous design that transfers the vibrations efficiently to the front wall.

If you find even gentle internal motion more stimulating than vibrations, the Flexer is a great option. If you don’t need motion, and feel stimulated from internal vibrations alone, the Dolce will feel the strongest to you.

We rate rumbly internal vibrations higher because they tend to feel deeper, though some people enjoy buzzy stimulation. The Flexer’s G-spot motor stays extremely buzzy across its entire range, from 182.44 Hz on low to 257.18 Hz on high.

Buzzy vibrations don’t travel as deep, so the buzzy vibrations at only a moderate strength on the Flexer definitely need the internal motion and external vibes to feel worthwhile.

If rumbliness is a priority, the Lovense Dolce is a much better pick.

The Flexer’s motion is enjoyable, but it feels more like subtle internal pressure changes than the firm G-spot fingering that’s advertised.

The internal arm moves in a front-to-back arc at 34 to 63 cycles per minute. The flexing hinge is very strong, and doesn’t “give” under pressure like the flexible Lelo Ida Wave’s internal arm does. However, because there’s no “anchoring” point for the Flexer, the external arm moves more than the internal arm, causing the G-spot pressure to feel gentle. You really feel most of the motion on your clit.

I can orgasm with the Flexer when the motion is paired with clit vibrations and internal vibes. But handheld toys provide firmer internal pressure if that’s a big priority to you. The We-Vibe Nova 2 is great if you want to leverage the pressure yourself. And the Lovense Nora is better if you want automatic internal motion.

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

The OhMiBod app is pretty good, sitting a tier below Lovense and Satisfyer, but much better than We-Vibe.

Its connectivity is excellent – nearby Bluetooth and long-distance modes hold a solid connection on par with Lovense’s. But the features themselves are clunky and don’t provide as much customization as the better apps.

The Lovense Ferri is a better panty vibrator if you want the best app.

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 OhMiBod Remote app’s close-range features are usable but unintuitive. The basics all work, but they’re poorly labeled, split across more screens than they need to be, and don’t have the polish of Lovense’s or Satisfyer’s apps. The Lovense Ferri is better if you want the best app.

The biggest drawback is constant intensity control – the thing people often use the most. Setting a steady vibration is spread across three different screens, each with its own quirks:

Rhythm Screen is the preset-pattern selector, and constant power is buried in there as one of the patterns. You’d never find it on your own – it’s listed last, and oddly named “Ludicrous.” Once you do find it, you adjust intensity using your phone’s volume buttons rather than an on-screen control. The lowest volume positions don’t vibrate at all, and the volume bar disappears off screen after a moment, so a partner controlling my toy can’t easily glance over to see what they’ve set the power to.

Tap Screen provides a button that sends a constant pulse for as long as you hold it. To use it as a steady setting, you have to hold the button down for a long stretch, then let go and live with the small pause baked into the resulting loop. There’s an intensity slider labeled with a turtle-and-hare icon, which makes it look like it controls speed – but it controls power. (And a quirk: power resets to full every time you start a new tap, so if you wanted to tap a gentle pattern you can’t – you have to tap it out at full power and drop the intensity afterward.)

Touch Screen gives you a grid with an on-screen dot you drag around to control the vibrations. Dragging left or right adjusts intensity; dragging up or down adjusts speed. It’s not a true constant vibration – it’s a wobble that smooths into something close to steady on the fast-speed end. There’s no axis labeling the grid, just the same turtle-and-hare icon, so you have to figure out which axis does which by experimenting.

All three reach a working result, and once you’ve spent enough time with the app you can pick the one that matches what you want. But the better apps just give you a simple intuitive screen for controlling the power.

The other preset patterns include 6 options – with names like “The Moon” and “Club,” which tell you nothing about what they feel like. There are no waveform previews the way Lovense and Satisfyer show you, so the only way to learn the patterns is to try them all and remember which is which. Intensity is again adjusted with your phone’s volume buttons.

Pattern creation is limited to the Tap Screen – you tap out a rhythm and the app loops it back. There’s no waveform-drawing the way Lovense’s loop creation or Satisfyer’s Live Control let you, so anything that isn’t a series of pulses can’t be built here – no gradual ramps or smooth waves. You can save a tapped pattern to a Favorites list and pull it up again later.

You can connect and control multiple OhMiBod toys at the same time, but the toys aren’t independent – they vibrate in sync. So you can’t play the toys at different intensities or patterns.

OhMiBod’s sound-reactive mode, called Club Vibe, is strong. The toy reacts to ambient sound through the phone’s mic, with two adjustable sliders: one for sensitivity (how loud a sound has to be before the toy responds). And one for intensity (how strong the vibrations get when it does respond). It works as intended with a small caveat: at the very lowest intensity, the toy makes a high-pitched hissing noise without producing real vibrations. I can skip over this in other modes, but I can’t really control it in Club Vibe since it’s noise-responsive.

You can also sync to music through your Spotify account with the Music Vibes mode. It’s fine, but doesn’t follow the music that closely.

There’s a couple other features that don’t feel that helpful like Pulse mode that pairs the toy with an Apple Watch’s heart-rate monitor and an Oh!Dometer that just let’s you log your orgasms.

Everything works, it’s just clunky. For a better experience, consider the Lovense Ferri.

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

On the main Remote screen, you drag the control dots up or down to adjust intensity of the vibrations and speed of the flexing motion.

Tap Float to hold a steady power/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.

Lovense typically allows separate control of each motor. Unfortunately, the two arms’ separate vibrating motors are tied together. Setting the vibration intensity of the internal arm does the same to the external arm. But the flexing motion is still controlled separately.

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 setting the toy too strong.

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

The OhMiBod app’s long-distance features are okay, but they take some learning. OhMiBod sits a step below Lovense and Satisfyer here – the basics work, but the features are limited compared to those apps.

Your long-distance partner uses the same Rhythm, Tap, and Touch control screens you’d use for close-range play, with all the same workarounds and quirks discussed in the previous section.

The OhMiBod app does have one nice bonus over Lovense during long-distance play: during a video call, both partners share an on-screen intensity slider for your toy, which means you can also adjust your own toy’s power instead of relying only on your partner, which is rare in an app.

The trade-off is that your partner can immediately undo whatever you just set, since the app has no built-in handoff mode. And between two people controlling intensity, there’s not much clarity for the controlling partner on where power is at.

The video call experience itself is great. Starting a call is easy – your partner sends a request, you get a clear notification and accept. The video quality is good on decent internet, the toy controls sit in a small panel at the bottom of the screen that doesn’t crowd the view of your partner, and locking your phone or backgrounding the app doesn’t drop the call.

Controlling while messaging is rougher. Chat threads are easy to follow and you can send photos – but not video clips or voice notes. There are no privacy features for shared media (like preventing screenshots), and you can only send a message while you’re actively controlling your partner’s toy. You can’t send a flirty message for them to see when they hop on the app.

The controls split awkwardly during chat sessions, too: the controlling partner selects the pattern but the wearer adjusts intensity via their phone’s volume buttons, leaving them with no on-screen indication of what intensity the toy is at.

Only one partner can connect a toy. If you both have OhMiBod toys, you cannot each control the other person’s toy like you can in Lovense’s or Satisfyer’s apps.

If long-distance partnered play is the main reason you’re shopping for a panty vibrator, the Lovense Ferri is a better choice, but OhMiBod’s app is decent for occasional long-distance play.

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 or flexing 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 OhMiBod Remote app’s connectivity is excellent – reliable in both nearby Bluetooth and long-distance modes.

For nearby play, the Foxy auto-connects fast. There’s no toy-selection screen in the app. Just turn the toy on, open the app, and your phone pairs to it automatically. The one tradeoff: if you and a partner are both trying to use OhMiBod toys in the same room, the lack of a selection screen can cause mix-ups about which phone connects to which toy. For most people that won’t come up, and the auto-connect just feels seamless.

Once connected, the Foxy’s connection holds through normal phone behavior like locking the phone, backgrounding the app, and swiping through other apps. Commands reliably go through. And on the rare occasion the signal does drop (like you walk too far away), the app reconnects automatically as soon as the signal is clear again. There’s one small caveat: if a “Play Remotely” prompt pops up while the toy is out of range, don’t tap it – that breaks the auto-reconnection. If you tap it by accident, closing and reopening the app reliably fixes things.

The Foxy is also stable through body interference: when a partner controls the toy from across the room at an angle with you between their phone and the toy, water-rich body tissue dampens Bluetooth signals. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively harder positions (and is harsher than real use), and the Foxy holds a stable connection at all three, including the most severe angle.

We also tested Bluetooth range by separating the phone from the Foxy until the connection dropped. It stayed connected until about 340 feet in our test (your own results may vary depending on obstructions – we test with a clear line of sight).

Long-distance connectivity is also excellent. As long as both partners’ internet or cell signal is decent, the long-distance session stays live. The OhMiBod app handles the messy parts of real-life phone behavior gracefully – locking your phone, briefly switching to another app, or swapping between Wi-Fi and cell data don’t drop the session, even during a long distance call. Commands keep going through reliably.

The one downside is that starting a long-distance video call has a bug, but it’s easy to work around. The flow asks the receiving partner to tap accept twice – first to allow toy control, then to accept the video call itself – and if they tap both prompts too quickly, the video call fails to start. Waiting a couple of seconds between the two taps works reliably, but it’s the kind of thing your partner has to remember each time. Long-distance messaging sessions without video don’t have this issue.

The Flexer’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 first time you connect, just tap Add Toy, turn the Flexer 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 Flexer 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 wearable vibrators work fine for solo control but drop connection when a partner controls them from certain angles. In our body-interference test, the Flexer stayed connected through all three positions, including the hardest one.

Bluetooth range was excellent too, reaching about 315 feet in our clear line-of-sight test. That’s one of the longest ranges we’ve measured for a wearable and far more than most people will need. Though walls and other interference will shorten real-world range.

If the it 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 – then you can switch freely between the two.

The OhMiBod Foxy doesn’t include a physical remote control. A remote lets you adjust the toy by feel – without pulling out your phone. Though there’s other downsides like less depth and no visual feedback to help your partner know what your toy’s doing. If you want to consider options with physical remotes, see our recommendations in these guides:

• best remote and app-controlled vibrators (all types of vibrators)
• best wearable vibrators (wearables only).

The Lovense Flexer 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.

• best wearable vibrators (wearables only).

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

A single button cycles through three steady power levels and two vibration patterns. The full seven-level power range only lives in the app. The trimmed-down three levels available from the button is actually a helpful choice for rare occasions you use the on-toy button (like if you want to use it like a handheld toy). It keeps you from clicking through a long string of settings to find the intensity you want. The two patterns mixed into the loop is something most people don’t want, but with only five settings, it’s still quick to tap through.

The button is well-placed: easy to feel without looking, and sits away from the plush bumpout. So while pressing it while wearing does push the toy against your vulva, the pressure is distributed more broadly and closer to the vagina, so it stays comfortable.

The on-toy button works fine as a backup, but the app is the main way you’ll use the Foxy.

The Flexer’s on-toy controls work as a backup, but the app is the main way to use this toy. A single button cycles through three power levels and four patterns on the same loop, with the vibration and motion functions linked together.

Lovense lets you customize the three on-toy preset power levels in the app so the button provides access to the levels you like. This can be useful if you don’t want to mess with the app for quick, immediate interaction.

However, the button sits far enough back on the toy that it’s annoying to reach while using. So the app is really what you should count on in typical use.

The Foxy stays securely in place in bed, while walking around it just requires readjusting at times, but it shifts a lot more during heavy movement like running or jumping.

The strong, large magnet holds clipped to my underwear – I don’t ever feel like it’s going to fall off. It locks enough of the body to your underwear that the toy doesn’t swivel too much side-to-side either.

In bed, the Foxy stays where the magnet is secured. The toy jostles a bit with the underwear as I shift, but the bumpout keeps good clitoral contact in bed where you’re not moving around much.

The Foxy moves around a bit more when you’re walking causing the bumpout to move off the ideal spot on my clit. The bumpout is pretty large, so it’s always maintaining contact somewhere fairly near my clit, but I have to adjust to keep it in a great spot.

Heavy activity is where the toy’s weight really starts working against it. The magnet itself doesn’t slip, but the toy is heavy enough to pull the underwear down a bit during bigger movements like jumping, running, or dancing, and the bump shifts around. The long, straight design doesn’t contour to the body for consistent, close contact.

Curved panty vibrators like the VeDO Niki(remote-controlled) and NS Novelties Techno Lucy(app-controlled) stay in better clit contact while moving.

The Flexer’s fit is workable when using it hands-free in bed, but it moves around a lot and does not feel secure when walking. Some of that movement is intentional – the flexing arm presses both internally and externally. But it also makes the stimulation feel a bit chaotic and less secure.

The bigger issue is that the Flexer is rigid and not adjustable. If the shape lines up well with your anatomy, it can be very stimulating. If it doesn’t, there’s not much you can do to improve the fit. That makes it a riskier pick than adjustable dual-stim toys like the Lovense Dolce, which stays in place better and has a good adjustable spine to help you get a better fit for your individual anatomy.

The Flexer feels least secure when the flexing motion is on. With vibrations alone, it’s more stable, but still has a “half in” feeling that makes me less confident moving around. During light activity, especially bending or squatting, I worry it could work its way out. And it’s not comfortable to wear when moving around anyway.

I’d treat the Flexer as an in-bed toy, not something for walking around. For dual-stimulation you can wear around more easily, try pairing the Lovense Ferri with the Lovense Lush 4 or Lush Mini.

The Foxy is comfortable in bed, but the bumpout takes some getting used to when walking.

The Foxy’s bump is one of the more comfortable nub-style designs I’ve tested because it’s plush. The body itself isn’t really flexible, but the bumpout has nice cushioning, and a bit wider than most. So the pressure spreads out more evenly rather than concentrating into one spot, and the plushness helps it feel comfortable against my body – much better than the OhMiBod Club Vibe 3.OH’s firm nub.

When I’m walking, it shifts, and the amount of pressure it applies against my clit varies – sometimes a gentle press, sometimes firmer, which some people may find uncomfortable. If you prefer a more blanketed, consistent feel against your clit, a broader panty vibrator like the NS Novelties Techno Lucy or the VeDO Niki is a more comfortable pick.

The Flexer can be an uncomfortable dual-stimulation wearable, and takes some warmup and unique preferences to enjoy. It is rigid, girthy, and the flexing motion can pinch against my pubic bone.

It’s best for those who prefer a fuller internal feel, and don’t mind firm pressure on your clit.

I find it most comfortable lying in bed. Sitting up or bending forward makes it feel too tight. Walking around is worse – my movement feels restricted in normal activities like walking, stairs, standing, or sitting.

This might be fine for those who value the strong, unique stimulation it provides. But if comfort is a priority, the Fantasy For Her G-spot Stimulate-Her is one of my most comfortable dual-stimulation wearables in bed. Or, egg and panty vibrators are more comfortable to wear around.

The OhMiBod Foxy has quiet decibel readings, but it did worse than many wearables I’ve tested in our Background Noise Masking subtest.

Decibel readings on both low and high power were extremely quiet. The ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and our Sound Level Meter measured the Foxy at just 37.6 dBA on high – quieter than many vibrators, but decibel levels are only a part of the story.

For our Background Noise Masking subtest, I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away and we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). At our quietest audio (56 dBA of pink noise), my partner could hear the Foxy at every vibration power

When wearing it, the lowest power had a distinct grating quality, that made it more noticeable. When I was sitting still, my partner couldn’t hear the middle power, but as I walked around, an occasional rattling sound came through. The high power was actually the cleanest of the three – just a hum that almost blended into background noise. Once we stepped the pink noise up to our moderate level (62 dBA) every vibration power was masked.

For our closed-bedroom-door test, my partner stands directly outside the bedroom while I use the toy in bed. He couldn’t hear the Foxy at all from the other side of the door on any power level.

Other panty vibrators were quieter including the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy

The Flexer is very loud. The vibrations are high-pitched and buzzy, and the flex motor adds a distinct non-constant mechanical sound that draws attention.

Decibel readings were 49.7 dBA on low and 54.7 dBA on high. Those numbers are not extreme, but the high-pitched, uneven sound makes it easier to hear.

In our background noise masking test, 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. Even with our loudest background audio playing all the Flexer’s settings were audible – low power was barely noticeable, but middle and high were still unmistakable.

We also check whether my partner can hear me use it behind our closed bedroom door. The middle and high powers were audible. A box fan helped enough that high power was barely audible and probably would not be noticed in normal use. To be completely masked, I had to play music in the bedroom.

If you want dual-stimulation from motion that’s quieter, consider the Lelo Ida Wave.

The Foxy lasted 55 minutes at its highest power during our testing – short for a panty vibrator in this price range. Since you’ll use the Foxy’s lower and middle settings too, your actual runtime will be longer. But for long sessions, the Lovense Ferri is a better panty vibrator – it lasted 168 minutes in our test, about three times the Foxy’s runtime.

The Lovense Flexer has a great battery life, lasting 95 minutes on high in our test. That’s comparable with or better than other dual-stimulation wearables, and plenty for most in-bed or long-distance sessions.

The OhMiBod Foxy is easy to clean. It’s IPX7 waterproof, so you can rinse it under a faucet or fully submerge it without worrying about water damage. OhMiBod doesn’t have the IPX rating listed on the Foxy’s product page, but we reached out by email and they confirmed it has an IPX7 rating.

The Flexer is IPX7 waterproof and easy to clean with soap and water. You can rinse it thoroughly after use, including at the hinge, where the internal and external arms meet.

The Foxy feels well-built. The body is covered in smooth silicone with a small plush portion that feels luxurious.

The Flexer feels sturdy and well-built. I’ve had mine since 2022 and it’s still working how it did when I first got it.

It is covered in smooth, firm silicone, and the connecting arm between the internal and external sections is very strong. The flexing movement comes from the motor, not from the toy feeling floppy or manually bendable.

That rigidity contributes to the comfort problems, but it also makes the toy feel durable.

My main frustration with the build has to do with noise. The flex motor can be especially high-pitched in a cheap-sounding way. It’s not as quiet as premium options like the Lelo Ida Wave.
