The We-Vibe Sync 2 is one of the few couples vibrators that reliably brings me to orgasm hands-free during sex.

It still takes more effort than my favorite handheld vibrators (like the Lovense Hyphy), but that’s true of every hands-free couples vibe: handhelds have bigger, stronger motors, and give you more control over placement and the ability to press as firmly as you want.

What makes the Sync 2 work for me anyway is its adjustable hinge. It lets me customize the shape to my body so the external motor stays in secure, consistent contact with my clit. It’s worth taking a minute to adjust the angle – when it’s opened too wide, the stimulation feels weaker, but once I dial in a tighter angle, I get a secure, stimulating fit that consistently brings me to orgasm hands-free.

Entry-level models (like the Romp Join, We-Vibe Sync Lite, and Sync Go) and even other brands’ premium models (like the Lelo Tiani 3) do not have this hinge – so these models shift off my clit immediately during sex, and I cannot orgasm with them.

But I orgasm reliably with the Sync 2, and I find it just as stimulating as the more expensive We-Vibe Chorus. The Sync 2’s motors are just as powerful as the Chorus’s. The main difference is that the Chorus has an additional hinge for an improved range of customization. While the extra hinge may improve some people’s experience, I personally find one hinge is sufficient.

I orgasm more easily with the Sync 2 during sex than with the comparably-priced We-Vibe Sync O. Because the Sync 2’s and Chorus’s G-spot motors are relatively gentle, I used to think the internal motor didn’t make much of a difference. However, after getting the Sync O (which lacks a motor in the G-spot arm), I’ve realized the motor and pronounced front-wall bump have a meaningful impact.

The added pressure and stimulation from the Sync 2’s bulbous internal arm pressing the vibrations into my G-spot as my partner thrusts helps me orgasm more easily than models without internal motors. But the G-spot arm’s still slim enough for comfortable penetration while wearing it – it adds a little extra tightness, but it’s not too much of a stretch. I don’t experience pinching, poking, or pain in any position.

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 Sync 2’s clit power, range, transfer effectiveness, and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The We-Vibe Sync 2 is tied with the Chorus and Sync Original for the most stimulating clit vibrations from a couples vibrator – I orgasm equally easily hands-free with any of those three. It stays in secure contact with my body and is more rumbly than most wearables, both of which help the vibrations reach my clit effectively.

Its only moderately powerful compared to stronger panty vibrators or handheld vibrators, so those are more intense options if hands-free stimulaton during sex isn’t your priority.

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 Sync 2’s clit motor has a broad power range, starting gently and reaching 6.75 out of 10 on high. That’s moderate for wearable vibrators overall, but tied for the strongest hands-free couples vibrator I’ve tested – the Chorus, Sync 2, and original Sync offer nearly identical clit stimulation.

During sex, its strength and fit make it one of only a few couples vibrators I orgasm with easily and reliably. The adjustable hinge keeps the external motor pressed against my clit instead of letting it shift away, so the Sync 2 transfers its power better than most couples vibrators.

For solo wear or wearing around, the clit motor still feels stimulating because the hinge keeps it in decent contact. But without penetration adding pressure it feels only moderate. I’d treat those uses as a nice bonus – if wearable clit stimulation outside sex is your main goal, a stronger panty vibrator is usually a better fit.

Couples vibrators have to stay slim enough for comfortable penetration, so they’re generally less intense than other wearable clit toys like panty vibes and handheld vibrators. Handhelds also let you control exact placement and pressure.

While I orgasm with the Sync 2 hands-free during sex, not everyone will be able to. If you typically need substantial intensity, you may prefer a handheld toy like the Lovense Hyphy or a wand vibrator.

Compared with other couples vibrators the Sync 2 is one of the strongest and most effective. Cheaper couples vibrators like the Romp Join, Sync Lite, and Sync Go – and even premium options like the Lelo Tiani 3 – have weaker vibrations and no adjustable hinge to keep the clit motor positioned well.

We-Vibe’s premium adjustable models are by far the most stimulating couples vibrators I’ve tested, and the Sync 2 is the most affordable current model that reliably works for me.

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 rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer vibrations that feel deeper and less surface-level. But this is still a personal preference – many people enjoy buzzier vibrations too.

The Sync 2’s clit motor is unusually rumbly for a wearable. Its lowest setting is extremely rumbly at around 38 Hz, the middle settings stay moderately rumbly, and even the highest setting only becomes neutral, just under 90 Hz. It never crosses into buzzy vibrations. The Chorus Pro, Chorus, and Sync 2 clit motors are all pretty comparably rumbly.

That rumbliness really helps because wearable vibrators have less pressure and placement control than handheld toys. Rumbly vibes travel deeper through your body, which helps the Sync 2 feel more stimulating even though it doesn’t apply as much pressure as I’d normally get from a handheld vibe.

The Sync 2 also has a noticeable low, rhythmic tapping sensation layered over the steady vibrations, making the clit motor feel deeper and more rumbly than its raw frequency suggests. It stands out most on the lower and middle settings – I wish the tapping stayed stronger at the highest settings, but it becomes more noticeable when both motors run together – especially with one arm on low and the other on high.

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 Sync 2’s G-spot power, range, transfer effectiveness, and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The We-Vibe Sync 2’s G-spot stimulation is minimal on its own, but helpful during sex.

Its internal motor is mild and buzzy, which is normal for hands-free couples vibrators since the arm has to stay slim enough for comfortable penetration. But during sex, the bulbous internal arm gets pushed more firmly into my G-spot as my partner thrusts, adding stimulating pressure.

So if you want strong, rumbly G-spot vibrations for solo play, choose an egg vibrator or larger dual-stimulation toy like the Lovense Dolce instead. But for a couples vibrator worn during sex, the Sync 2’s G-spot arm adds helpful front-wall pressure and makes orgasming easier for me than clit-only models like the We-Vibe Sync O.

The Sync 2’s G-spot motor is very mild, reaching about 2.75 out of 10 which is normal for hands-free couples vibrators.

It’s much weaker than dedicated G-spot egg vibrators or large dual-stimulation wearables like the Lovense Dolce which are not intended to wear during sex.

The internal arm of a couples vibrator has to be slim enough to leave space for comfortable penetration, so it can’t use a large, powerful motor. Its main job is not to provide intense G-spot vibrations on its own – it’s to anchor the toy and add pressure against the front wall during sex.

On its own, the G-spot motor feels weak and not especially G-spot-focused. But during penetration, the Sync 2’s bulbous internal arm gets pushed more firmly into my G-spot as my partner thrusts, making the stimulation feel much more impactful. That’s why the Sync 2 feels more stimulating to me during sex than clit-only models like the Sync O, even though the G-spot motor itself is mild.

If strong solo G-spot vibration is your priority, I’d choose an egg vibrator like the Lovense Lush 4 or We-Vibe Jive 2 instead. If you’re looking for a couples vibrator to wear during sex, the Sync 2’s bulbous G-spot arm provides the helpful front-wall pressure you want during PIV.

The We-Vibe Sync 2’s G-spot vibrations are buzzy – typical for hands-free couples vibrators since the internal motor has to be very small.

While its lowest settings are neutral the middle and higher settings quickly become extremely buzzy, with a median frequency around 155 Hz. When using the Sync 2 for solo stimulation, the buzzy vibrations mean you won’t feel the G-spot stimulation much. Buzzy vibrations don’t travel through your body as effectively, and the G-spot is less sensitive than the clit. So if the vibrations are buzzy, you typically need more power to compensate.

But I don’t consider this a major problem for the Sync 2’s main purpose – stimulating you during sex. When my partner thrusts, the internal arm pushes into my G-spot and that pressure is what makes the stimulation meaningful, while the vibrations only add subtle enhancement.

So if you want strong, rumbly G-spot vibrations on their own, larger egg vibrators are better. But for a couples vibrator worn during sex, the Sync 2’s G-spot arm still adds enough pressure and stimulation to make orgasming easier for me – no couples vibrator’s G-spot arm is strong and rumbly.

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 We-Vibe app’s close-range features, long-distance features, and connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: The We-Vibe app is buggy and bad – far behind Lovense’s app. But for hands-free stimulation during sex, I usually prefer the physical remote or on-toy button anyway. The app is a downside, but not a dealbreaker because We-Vibe still makes the only couples vibrators I reliably orgasm with.

In close-range control, the We-Vibe app has ongoing bugs that affect several products, including the Sync 2. The controls often freeze, and the app caps the intensity to about 73% of the Sync 2’s true top strength. Long-distance control also has a bug that often blocks you from connecting at all.

If app control matters more than hands-free stimulation during sex, go with a Lovense toy instead: the Lovense Ferri for clit stimulation, Lovense Lush 4 for G-spot stimulation, or Lovense Dolce for dual-stimulation.

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 We-Vibe app’s close-range features are weak because the app is so buggy. If it worked properly, it would be a decent option for simple intensity control and preset patterns. But the current experience is frustrating.

The main controls are Single Vibe and Multi Vibe. Both let you drag an on-screen dot up or down to adjust intensity. Multi Vibe also lets you assign preset patterns to four corners, so you can quickly switch between steady vibration and a few favorite patterns without digging through menus. On both screens, you can adjust the clit and G-spot motors together or control them independently. The design is simple and convenient in theory.

But most newer We-Vibe toys, including the Sync 2, have bugs on these screens. Even when the app shows 100% power, the Sync 2 only reaches about 73% of the strength that you’d get from the remote or on-toy button. The strongest app setting still feels good, but you need the remote for the toy’s true top power. The original Sync does not have this bug.

The control dot also sometimes freezes or stops responding – this happens even more often when you try to control the two motors independently.

There are 10 preset patterns you can choose from in Single or Multi Vibe mode, each with a name and waveform icon. Some are easy to understand, like Pulse and Wave, while others are less clear. There’s also a Playlist feature for stringing patterns together, but you can’t feel what you’re building as you make it, so it’s mostly guesswork.

Custom pattern creation is poor. It’s hidden several taps away from the main control screens, and you can’t feel the pattern while drawing it. You have to draw the waveform, save and name it, return to the control screen, select it, and only then test how it feels. The patterns are also limited by your screen width, so they come out short and choppy. My partner’s custom pattern played, but mine crashed the app repeatedly.

The sound and music modes are okay. Sound Mode uses your phone’s mic, while Beat Mode syncs to songs saved locally on your phone – not Spotify or Apple Music. Both work, but the controls are poorly labeled, and there’s no minimum-volume threshold like Lovense offers, which is helpful in preventing your toy from vibrating until the sounds around you are loud enough.

For close-range control, I’d use the Sync 2’s remote instead of the app. If you mainly want excellent app control, Lovense is much better – choose the Lovense Ferri for clit stimulation, the Lovense Lush 4 for G-spot stimulation, or the Lovense Dolce for dual stimulation. But none of those are couples vibrators to wear during sex. We-Vibe makes the only good couples vibrators I can orgasm with, so if that’s your goal, the Sync 2 is still worth choosing – I’d just skip the app and use the remote.

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.

The We-Vibe app’s long-distance features are too buggy to recommend.

The design is decent in theory, but persistent connection and control issues make long-distance play unreliable. If long-distance control matters there are no good couples vibrators specifically – you’re better off with a different type of wearable. The Lovense Ferri for clit stimulation, the Lovense Lush 4 for G-spot stimulation, or the Lovense Dolce for dual stimulation are better long-distance options.

Long-distance control in We-Vibe’s app is supposed to work like close-range control. Your partner gets the same Single Vibe, Multi Vibe, and Touch screens to control your Sync 2, and you can control their toy the same way. You can also take back control of your own toy mid-session without ending the call, which is a useful feature.

But the same close-range bugs carry over. Your partner still can’t reach the Sync 2’s full power from the app, and the control dot sometimes freezes or stops responding.

Long-distance has extra bugs too. Most importantly, both partners often show as “offline” even when you’re both in the app, which prevents you from starting a session at all.

Even when it does connect, starting a video call is clunky. You have to send and accept four separate requests: the call, camera access, control of your toy, and control of theirs. The video feed is blurry and choppy compared to Lovense.

Chat works as a basic messenger, with text, photos, voice notes, and video clips. We-Vibe does let you save multiple partners, but it doesn’t offer Lovense’s anonymous one-time control links or auto-accept settings for trusted partners.

For long-distance play, a Lovense toy like the Ferri, Lush 4, or Dolce is far better, but they don’t have any couples vibrators to wear during sex.

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 We-Vibe app’s connectivity with the Sync 2 is poor in close range and broken in long distance. The issue isn’t the Bluetooth signal – it’s the app, so it affects all We-Vibe’s couples vibrators including the Chorus, Chorus Pro, Sync O, and others. You’ll want to control the Sync 2 from the remote.

The Sync 2’s Bluetooth hardware is fine. It has reasonable range and handles body interference well. But the app causes unreliable reconnection, missed commands, and long-distance bugs that make long-distance play unusable. If app control is a priority, the Lovense Ferri, Lush 4, or Dolce are much more reliable.

Initial pairing is simple. Once you add the Sync 2 to the app, it usually reconnects in two taps with no on-toy action needed. This works fine if you use one phone and only have one or two We-Vibe toys.

The problems start if you switch between several We-Vibe toys or connect the same toy to multiple phones. Then quick-connect can fail, and the fix often requires deleting the toy from the app, forgetting it in your phone’s Bluetooth settings, and pairing it again.

Reconnection during play is inconsistent. If the signal drops and returns within 10-20 seconds, the app usually reconnects automatically. But during that gap, the app may still look connected, so your partner can be “controlling” the toy while nothing is actually happening. If you’re out of range longer, you may need to reconnect manually, sometimes by holding the on-toy button – awkward if you’re wearing it.

Even when the connection holds, commands often miss. On the Single Vibe and Multi Vibe screens, the toy may not respond when you drag the control dot, or it may freeze up completely. These misses are intermittent, but frequent enough that I don’t trust the app.

The Sync 2 holds up to body interference well. Our test simulates nearby partner control where your body sits at three increasingly difficult angles, between the phone and toy. Many wearables lose connection at the hardest angle because water-rich body tissue weakens Bluetooth more than walls or clothes. The Sync 2 stayed connected through all three. Its open-air max range was also fine at 50 feet.

Long-distance play is more problematic than the close range issues. Both partners often show as “offline” even when they’re in the app, preventing sessions from starting at all. When sessions do connect, control commands often stop affecting the toys. Both bugs happen regularly, and there’s no reliable fix.

For dependable app connectivity in close-range or long-distance play, the Lovense Ferri, Lush 4, or Dolce are better choices – but We-Vibe is the only brand with good couples vibrators.

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).

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Sync 2’s remote features and connectivity in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion: the Sync 2’s remote has all the controls you need and works reliably without much body interference. It can become unreliable when too much of your body comes between the toy and remote (like when your partner is controlling your toy from a sharp angle), but that doesn’t actually come into play when you’re controlling the toy yourself or during sex (which is what the Sync 2 is best for).

The We-Vibe Sync 2’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 11 power levels. And pressing and holding either button helps you reach a higher or lower setting faster.

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 power and patterns on the same loop. And you can raise and lower the intensity of each pattern.

The remote itself is comfortable to hold. It’s small and silicone-coated sitting naturally in my hand and feels more luxurious than the original Sync’s hard plastic remote. And I also find its smaller size more comfortable to hold than the Chorus’s and Chorus Pro’s larger remotes. 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 Sync 2’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.

The Sync 2’s remote connectivity is decent. It’s good when controlling it yourself or during sex. But more clicks don’t go through when body interference comes into play, which can happen more when a partner controls your toy while you’re wearing it around.

The remote’s signal can become unreliable when too much of your body sits between the controller and the toy – RF and Bluetooth signals are affected by water-rich materials like your body. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively challenging angles, and it’s intentionally more conservative than actual use.

The Sync 2 missed occasional commands in the first position, but but started having more frequent misses in the other two positions. This is one area where the We-Vibe Chorus is better than the Sync 2. The Chorus’s remote held a stable connection without dropping any commands under body interference.

But this doesn’t really happen when controlling the Sync 2 yourself or during sex (what this toy’s best for), where the remote is very close to you and there’s a pretty clear shot from the remote to the toy. It’s more likely to come up if your partner controls it while you’re wearing it around, especially from an awkward angle where more of your body sits between the remote and the toy.

Button presses register with barely any delay – the toy reacts as soon as I release the button, so adjustments feel responsive. There’s effectively no reconnection routine either: a quick press of any button wakes the remote when it’s been idle. If you go out of range, it reconnects automatically when you come back into range.

The remote reached about 38 feet in our open-air range test, measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. That’s shorter than many wearable remotes we’ve tested, but it still easily covers same-room use.

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.

Like most hands-free couples vibrators, the Sync 2’s on-toy controls are basic since many people will use the remote (or app if it worked well).

A single button cycles through 4 power levels and 6 vibration patterns on the same loop. To drop back to a lower power you have to click past the remaining patterns to get there. With 4 power levels covering the full range, the cycle is short enough for occasional use.

The button itself is easy to find and press: it’s visible, has a distinct feel, and sits on the external arm so you don’t have to remove the toy to adjust it. Pressing it pushes the toy more firmly against my body, but the wider button design keeps it comfortable enough.

While the controls are limited, I actually like using the on-toy button during sex. It’s nice to just reach between my legs and click when I’m warmed up and ready for more intensity, rather than setting the remote down somewhere nearby and finding it again when I want to change settings.

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.

Here I cover the Sync 2’s fit for solo use in bed, walking around, and heavier movement – for fit during sex, see Hands-Free Use During Sex.

While you can wear the Sync 2 around, it’s best thought of as a bonus. It stays put in bed and through light movement, but it’s less secure than wearables designed specifically to wear around.

The Sync 2 has one adjustable hinge near the base of the clitoral arm, letting you change the angle to better fit your body. For me, this makes a huge difference and is essential for a C-shaped couples vibrator to fit securely. Options without an adjustable hinge – like the Romp Join, We-Vibe Sync Lite, Sync Go, and Lelo’s Tiani line – shift off my clit easily or even fall out when I move.

In bed, the Sync 2 stays where I want it through normal shifting and rolling, though the C-shaped half-in, half-out design just feels more precarious than other wearables.

When walking around the movement isn’t too much and clothes help hold it in place. I am able to walk around, go up and down stairs and do light activity without it shifting around or feeling like it’s falling out and I don’t need to make adjustments.

But heavier movement can be too much for the shape. After jumping a bit, I had to push it back up into me as it had mostly wiggled out, only held from falling by my underwear and pants.

If you mainly want something to wear around, I’d look at an egg vibrator or magnetic panty vibrator instead. Egg vibrators stay anchored more securely because their internal arms are larger and more bulbous. While magnetic panty vibrators like the Lovense Ferri keep the clit motor fixed to your underwear. The Sync 2 is the right pick to use during sex; those are better picks for wearing around.

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.

Here I cover the comfort during solo use in bed and wearing around – for comfort during sex, see Hands-Free Use During Sex.

The We-Vibe Sync 2 is an extremely comfortable C-shaped couples vibrator, whether in bed or while walking around.

Because of its adjustable hinge, it fits snugly enough to stay tight to my body, but it does not pinch, poke, or press so hard that I want to take it out. Since it fits snug in bed, it doesn’t tap my clit uncomfortably as I change positions. And the silicone material feels really comfortable too.

It’s also comfortable when walking around since the internal arm is slimmer than large egg vibrators and the external arm contours my body and provides comfortable broad coverage. The tighter hinge angle I like in bed presses a little too firmly against my pubic bone once clothing adds extra pressure over the toy. But when I loosen the hinge a bit wider before walking, the Sync 2 becomes very comfortable for light activity – still close enough to keep clit contact, but not so tight that the pressure becomes distracting.

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 Sync 2 has excellent noise levels – in the most discreet tier of wearables I’ve tested.

Decibel readings on low and high power were too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to pick up on. The ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and the Sync 2 never measured higher than this. Its clit motor also has a deeper, rumbly sound that blends into the room more easily than sharper, buzzier vibrations.

It also performed extremely well in our Background Noise Masking test. In this test, I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away, with pink noise playing at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). He couldn’t hear the Sync 2 at any vibration strength with any of the background noise levels playing. Without background audio, it is audible in the same room – but every wearable vibrator we’ve tested is, even the quietest ones.

Behind a closed bedroom door, the Sync 2 was also inaudible. For this part of the test, I use the toy in bed while my partner listens from outside the door. I hold it like a handheld vibrator instead of wearing it, since wearing a toy dampens sound and holding it gives us more conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Sync 2 at any strength – no fan, music, or other masking noise needed.

Most hands-free couples vibrators we’ve tested fall into this same especially-discreet group, including the We-Vibe Chorus. So if you’re choosing between couples vibes, the stimulation, comfort, and fit during sex matter more than small noise differences.

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 Sync 2 lasted 63 minutes continuously running both motors at full power in our test. That’s enough for most bedroom use, but it’s short if you want to wear the toy around for extended foreplay or all-evening teasing.

It’s also the shortest battery life in We-Vibe’s hinged couples-vibrator lineup, though only barely behind the Chorus at 65 minutes. The Chorus Pro lasts 75 minutes, the original Sync lasts 85 minutes, and the Sync O lasts 93 minutes. If you want a longer-lasting hinged couples vibrator, the Sync O is the better We-Vibe pick. If long battery life matters more than the during-sex use, the Lovense Ferri lasts 168 minutes.

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 We-Vibe Sync 2 is easy to clean. It’s fully waterproof – rated IPX7, so you can rinse it under a running faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water without worry.

However, the IPX4 remote can only resist light water splashes. You should not take the remote into the shower or clean it under a running faucet. Clean the remote with a damp towel.

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

The We-Vibe Sync 2 has excellent build quality. It’s coated entirely in smooth, plush silicone, and the external arm’s adjustable hinge feels sturdy when I apply pressure to it. The connection between the internal and external arms also feels solid, so I’m not worried about it snapping during normal use. We-Vibe’s newer circular on-toy button is easier to press than the slim buttons on older models, and the remote’s buttons have a clear click feel. I’ve owned the Sync 2 since May 2023, and it has continued to work as expected.
