In the next sections, I’ll cover the Romp Party’s clit-motor power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Romp Party falls in the middle of the panty-vibe pack on clit stimulation. Its motor is technically strong, but the straight design doesn’t transfer enough of that strength to my clit, and the vibrations are buzzy on the settings I actually use. In this price range, for a more stimulating panty vibe, go with the VeDO Niki if you want a physical remote, or the NS Novelties Techno Lucy if you want an app.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Sexy Secret’s vibration power and rumbliness in detail.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Sexy Secret has one of the weakest, buzziest clit motors of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, so even though it fits on my clit well, the result is more tickly than stimulating.

If hands-free clit stimulation is your priority, go with the Lovense Ferri – same price tier, similarly capable app, and more than three times the Sexy Secret’s top power. Or the VeDO Niki (remote controlled, no app) if you prefer a remote or are on a budget.

The Romp Party has one of the strongest top settings of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, though its design doesn’t transfer all of that power to your clit. The motor reaches a 9 out of 10 in vibration strength at its highest setting. Of my panty vibrators, only the Lovense Ferri reaches a higher top power. The Romp Party is just behind it. Spread across 7 distinct power levels from a gentle 1 out of 10 warmup up to that 9 at the top, it has one of the widest power ranges of any panty vibrator in this price range.

But with a wearable, you can’t press harder for more intensity the way you can with a handheld – the toy’s shape and fit has to naturally deliver the motor’s strength to your body. This is where the Romp Party’s design works against it. Its strongest vibrations are at the middle of the toy rather than at the clit where most panty vibrators concentrate them, so I had to situate it up higher in my underwear to feel more of the vibrations. This felt a bit unnatural, and my underwear kept trying to push it out of that placement.

The Romp Party is also straight rather than contoured, so it doesn’t sit snugly against my clit the way better-fitting panty vibes with a curve do, like the Lovense Ferri and VeDO Niki. When I get the placement right, it’s reasonably stimulating, but getting it right takes more effort than I want from a hands-free toy and requires frequent readjustments.

So the Party feels less stimulating than the raw 9 out of 10 strength suggests. If you want a panty vibe in this price range that delivers more of its motor’s strength to your clit, the VeDO Niki is a better option – its top setting is a notch lower at 8 out of 10, but its body-contoured shape gets more of that power where you actually feel it, so I can orgasm with it hands-free. For the strongest motor and best vibration transfer of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, try the Ferri for about $40 more.

The Sexy Secret has one of the weakest clit motors of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, with a top power of just 2.5 out of 10. The only panty vibrator I’ve tested with a weaker motor is its sister product, the Satisfyer Little Secret. Stronger competitors like the Lovense Ferri, NS Novelties Techno Lucy, and VeDO Niki all deliver more than three times the Sexy Secret’s top power.

I can’t orgasm from this toy hands-free, even when I use the strongest setting and press it firmly into my clit with my hand. Its full power range – from a barely-there 0.5 at the bottom up to that 2.5 at the top – sits entirely below the strength I need to orgasm.

The frustrating part is that the fit is doing its job well. The broad, soft silicone arm contours well to my body and stays in firm contact, so the vibrations actually reach my clit. But what reaches me feels underwhelming – the vibration can feel enjoyable, but more as a warmup and slight tease than anything truly stimulating.

For a panty vibrator with a motor strong enough for hands-free orgasm (for me personally), consider the Lovense Ferri if you want excellent app control. On a budget, the VeDO Niki (remote-only) and the Techno Lucy (app controlled, but more basic than Satifyer’s) both pair similarly great body-contoured shapes with much stronger motors than the Sexy Secret’s.

We rate panty vibrators with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them, but it’s genuinely a personal preference.

The Romp Party is not very rumbly.

Its lowest power level is technically extremely rumbly at 59 Hz, but that’s the warmup setting – too gentle for the rumbliness to feel very stimulating. From there, frequency climbs as power does: the toy is moderately buzzy by its mid-range at around 100 Hz (about average for a panty vibe), and extremely buzzy at 127 Hz at the top. Since the vibrations don’t transfer well, I need to crank the power to feel anything, so most of my use with this toy is in the buzzy range.

If you care about rumbly vibrations, the VeDO Niki is one of the only truly rumbly panty vibrators and it’s an excellent choice in the same price range.

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

The Sexy Secret is on the buzzy side. Vibrations start neutral at its lowest power (80 Hz) and quickly climb into the extremely buzzy range, hitting 144 Hz at the top. The motor’s median frequency is 127 Hz – well into the extremely buzzy band.

Vibrators always become buzzier as you increase power, so this curve isn’t unusual on its own. But because the motor is so weak (covered above), there’s no point on the curve where the vibrations feel rumbly and impactful: by the time you’ve turned the toy up enough for the vibrations to register, you’re already deep in extremely buzzy territory. That’s why the sensation feels tickly – the buzziness layers on top of the weakness, giving the vibrations a high-frequency, surface-level character rather than the deep, resonant feel rumbly vibrations provide.

Most panty vibrators actually lean buzzy, but plenty have better power so that the vibrations still feel impactful – for instance, the Lovense Ferri is also buzzy, but its strength makes it the one I can orgasm with most easily.

If you specifically prefer rumbly vibrations, the VeDO Niki is a better option. It’s the only panty vibrator I’ve tested centered around the rumbly range (66 Hz at the median) and it has great power too.

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

Like all panty vibrators, the Satisfyer Sexy Secret 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.

The Romp Party isn’t controlled through an app. App control lets you create custom patterns, control multiple motors or toys, play long-distance, and lets a controlling partner see exactly what your toy is doing. If that matters to you, see our app-controlled recommendations in these guides:

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

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

Satisfyer’s app is the closest second to Lovense’s. Its close-range and long-distance features are genuinely strong, with only minor tradeoffs compared to Lovense. Connectivity is the one mixed area: the app is designed well, so there aren’t bugs causing connection issues in close or long-distance play. But the bluetooth signal struggles when there’s a lot of your body between the phone and the toy, which can happen more often when letting a nearby partner control your toy from certain angles.

If app control is your top priority, go with the Lovense Ferri – the absolute best app and panty vibrator. Otherwise, the Satisfyer Connect app is the closest you’ll get to a Lovense-quality without going Lovense.

The Satisfyer Connect app’s close-range features are great overall – second only to Lovense’s.

The Live Control screen (which is like Lovense’s main Remote screen) is its best feature. Here I can adjust a constant vibration intensity or draw a custom pattern from the same place. You raise or lower the intensity by swiping up or down on the screen. You can also tap the loop button, draw a pattern, and it will repeat. Many apps split those into separate screens, so the seamless switching is nice. There’s also a Boost button for an instant 30-second burst at high power.

The biggest way Satisfyer Connect differs from Lovense is in user experience. It’s harder to tell your exact strength in Satisfyer’s app, so if your partner is controlling, it’s harder for them to have an exact idea what’s happening. Satisfyer can also take more “swiping” to reach your preferred setting rather than single-taps compared to Lovense.

Satisfyer’s Pattern creation is strong with some small downsides. There are three ways to creat your own pattern. The first is drawing a real-time loop from the Live Control screen. We’ve found that the pattern it loops back often doesn’t match what you drew. It speeds it up or oversimplifies it (for instance, it usually transforms pulses to waves) – but this won’t be too big of an issue for most people.

You can also save your full vibration session as a pattern (up to 15 minutes long), so if you like the build-up you had during a certain sesssion, you can replay it. Lastly, you can use the On-Screen Sketch mode to draw a 5-second waveform with an instant preview before saving. This gives very fine-tuned control, because you’re not drawing it in real-time (unlike Live Control). You can preview the feel and start again if you don’t like it.

Satisfyer’s preset pattern selection and adjustability is fairly good. There are a lot of presets to choose from with a variety of waveforms (waves, pulses, triangular waves, gradual ramping, etc.). And you can adjust the intensity of the pattern by swiping your finger up and down on the screen.

There’s also an active Satisfyer community that creates and shares vibration patterns, and you can save these to your presets list. You can sort by “popular” to see which ones are well liked. You can also see a preview of the waveform so you can easily tell which ones are designed for two motors vs one motor, so you can download the ones that fit your toy. Any patterns you created and saved yourself are available in the Presets library to use again too. You can also use the “Sequences” screen to string together a series of preset patterns to play back-to-back.

It does have a few noticeable weaknesses: There’s too many default preset patterns with many of them being very similar, so it clutters the pattern selection screen and makes it harder to find what you’re looking for. The preset patterns all have a descriptive name and an icon of the waveform so you can tell what it should feel like before selecting it – some match well, but others don’t. So you still have to just try them to see what they feel like.

Satisfyer also has some synced audio features like Remotyca Stories and High Touch Meditation.

They have a large library of erotica audio stories for you to listen to. Throughout the story your toy will be vibrating along – usually on a pattern or a constant setting that’s gentler to moderate power near the beginning of the story. Toward the end of the story, it ramps up to a stronger, constant vibration to help you orgasm. There is a slider so you can adjust the intensity yourself during the story too.

This can be a great feature for people who like erotic audio. But it can be difficult to find stories by your interest because you can’t filter by specific fantasies or tags. There is a search bar, but it doesn’t work very well. So you have to scroll through stories and read their descriptions to know if it interest you.

The meditation feature works the same as the Erotica feature, except that the audios are guided meditations, which can be great for people who enjoy combining masturbation and mindfulness practices.

Music Vibes and Ambient Sound are the weaker of Satisfyer’s features. Music Vibes feels reasonably matched to a song’s softer moments, but once the music gets full, the toy just does a steady vibration with a bit of a wobble, so it’s not very accurate.

Ambient Sound is the sound-reactive mode – the toy vibrates in response to noise around you. It works, but the controls are more limited than the best apps. The best apps like Lovense, give you two separate sliders: one to set how loud a sound has to be before the toy reacts, and one for how intensely the toy vibrates when it does. Satisfyer combines both into a single slider, where sliding up makes the toy respond to quieter sounds and raises the intensity at the same time.

The problem is that usually you want the opposite behavior – you want the toy to vibrate stronger only when the sound around you is louder. So it’s not ideal in Satisfyer’s app.

If you want a better panty vibrator with the absolute best close-range features, go with the Lovense Ferri. But the Satisfyer’s app is the closest second to Lovense’s – it’s just a bummer the Sexy Secret itself is not stimulating enough.

The Satisfyer Connect app’s long-distance experience is good too – again the closest second to Lovense’s.

During a long-distance session, your partner uses the same Live Control screen they’d use during nearby Bluetooth play. They get the same intensity adjustment controls, the same Loop function for drawing real-time patterns, and the same waveform display so they can see what you’re feeling. The one slight reduction from close-range is that there’s no prompt to save patterns at the end of a long-distance session like there is during close-range play.

You can share control of your toy with or without video and voice.

Getting into a call is easy. There’s a clear accept/reject popup, all the standard controls are there (mute, camera toggle, switch front/rear, end), and locking the phone or backgrounding the app doesn’t drop the connection – the camera freezes but the toy keeps vibrating, and everything resumes smoothly when I unlock my phone again.

The main downside is what the screen looks like during the call. The vibration waveform always sits prominently across the video feed of your partner and can’t be minimized. The app paints a light blue or pink gradient over the feed to indicate the toy’s power, which is distracting if you want to actually see your partner clearly. Lovense handles the same controls more gracefully – minimizable, no color-tint – so for couples where visual clarity matters, Satisfyer’s video feed is a real downgrade.

Messaging during a session works well (easy back-and-forth, partner gets notified), but the media tools are limited: photos only, no video clips, no voice recordings, and no screenshot-disable for privacy. Lovense’s app does all three.

Satisfyer is also missing a few of the partner-side controls Lovense has: no max-intensity cap, and no setting to control what the toy does on a Bluetooth disconnect (Lovense lets you pick between stopping for discretion or keeping the vibrations going for smoother continuity). There’s no anonymous control or social matching either – niche for most couples.

If long-distance play with the cleanest video and richest partner tools is your priority, the Lovense Ferri is a better option.

The Sexy Secret’s app connectivity is reliable for everyday solo use and for long-distance play. But the signal can be unreliable under a lot of body interference like often happens when letting a nearby partner control your toy. If outstanding connectivity is important, consider the Lovense Ferri instead.

Pairing the Sexy Secret is typically quick and easy. The very first time takes a couple of seconds (hold the toy’s button until it vibrates twice, then select it from the toys list when it shows up). After that, the app auto-connects when you turn the toy on – which works reliably as long as your phone was the last one connected to it.

If it doesn’t (auto-connect usually only fails after I’ve used a different phone with the toy in between) you typically have to hold the toy’s button for about 10 seconds until you feel several quick pulses to reset it, then re-pair. If that still fails, you may have to “forget device” in your phone’s Bluetooth settings and try again. Tedious, but it gets you back in every time and is typically only necessary if you connect multiple different phones to the toy.

If the connection drops mid-session, reconnection is automatic when the signal returns cleanly. However, when signal is only partially blocked rather than fully gone (say I shift my body and the connection degrades without dropping outright) the app can freeze instead of auto-reconnecting. The fix is to force-close the app and reopen; the toy is typically already paired by the time it loads back up, so control resumes right away. (Avoid tapping “Connect Now” in the disconnect popup – that routes you into a manual screen you’ll need to exit.) Once you know the move it’s not too disruptive, but is still annoying.

Commands go through reliably when I’m controlling my own toy. And the Sexy Secret can handle light to moderate body interference like happens when a partner is controlling your toy while facing you or at a slight angle. But it drops connection when body interference is more substantial.

Water-rich materials like body tissue can significantly dampen bluetooth signals – moreso than clothes or typical walls. Our body-interference test simulates this at three progressively harder positions: the Sexy Secret holds a stable connection at the first two but loses it at the third, most severe angle.

Its sister product, the Satisfyer Little Secret and their egg vibrator (the Satisfyer Petal), all struggle under some body interference so this looks like a Satisfyer-hardware pattern rather than a Sexy Secret-specific defect. The Lovense Ferri holds a stable connection at all three positions, which is important if a partner will be controlling your toy from another room or with a lot of your body in the way.

Bluetooth range comes in around 135 feet in our open-air test (measured with a clear line-of-sight). That’s plenty for partner control across a normal house, but keep in mind that body interference at certain angles will make your real distance shorter.

The long-distance connection is great.

Session start is fast and reliable. There’s a clear Remote Play tab where you send your partner a control or video request; the request shows up wherever they are in the app, and pushes a notification if their phone is locked (you can turn notifications off if you don’t want them).

Sessions don’t drop unexpectedly, commands consistently go through, and the app handles real-world phone behavior gracefully – locking my phone, switching to another app, or backgrounding Satisfyer Connect doesn’t disrupt the session. The app handles switching between Wi-Fi and cell data mid-call smoothly too.

The connection works in two parts: the toy talks to your phone over Bluetooth (the same as during nearby play), and your phone talks to your partner’s phone over Wi-Fi or cell data. Since during a long-distance call, your phone right by you is the one connected to your toy’s bluetooth, the body interference issue doesn’t really come into play. So as long as your cell data or Wi-Fi is decent, the long-distance connection works well.

If a reliable connection through any situation matters most, the Lovense Ferri is a better option – more robust through body interference and a slightly longer Bluetooth range. For solo control, partnered control from angles without much of your body in the way, and long-distance play, the Sexy Secret’s connectivity holds up well.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the Romp Party’s remote features and connectivity.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Romp Party has a basic, reliable remote – stable connection, instant response, and separate + and – buttons to adjust the power. Remotes can be useful if you don’t want to use a phone to control your toy.

Its main limitations are typical of remotes versus apps: less partner feedback and shorter range. If you want this more-detailed control, go with the Lovense Ferri for the best app control, or the NS Novelties Techno Lucy for a budget-friendly app experience.

The Satisfyer Sexy Secret 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 Romp Party’s remote is simple, but works well – the two-button design gives all the control you’d need for power adjustment. Its few minor downsides are typical of remotes in general compared to apps.

Power control is fast and direct – the dedicated + and − buttons let you move forward and backward through seven power levels, and there are no vibration patterns to cycle through at all, which keeps the remote uncluttered. And you won’t accidentally switch from a constant setting to a pulse or wave.

The remote is comfortable to hold – a good size, fits easily in my hand, and the buttons are easy to tell apart by feel so I don’t have to look at the remote. This is a big upside compared to an app-controlled toy if you don’t want you or a partner to have to be tied to a phone. With the Party, you can make adjustments from your pocket without looking.

Like most panty-vibe remotes, the Romp Party’s partner feedback is just a faint blink when you press a button – there’s no way to tell what setting the toy is on. That’s fine if you’re using the toy yourself, and many partners won’t mind. But others find it less engaging when they can’t tell what the toy is doing or what you’re feeling.

An app-controlled panty vibe gives your partner real-time visuals of the toy’s vibrations, which can make controlling it feel more engaging. If that’s a priority for you, the Lovense Ferri is the best app-controlled panty vibe.

The Romp Party’s remote connectivity is excellent, though its maximum range lands in the middle of the pack.

The remote maintains a reliable connection through typical interference. Body tissue between a remote and toy is the main thing that typically breaks a remote’s signal during partnered control. Remote’s signals are weakened by water-rich materials like your body sitting between the remote and your toy.

Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Romp Party holds a stable connection through all of them. Our test also runs harsher than typical real-world conditions, so partner-controlled play should stay reliable in practice.

Button presses register instantly – the toy reacts before my finger even lifts off the button. And the remote is always connected, so there’s no reconnection routine when starting to play.

One quirk: occasionally a click sounds as if it went through but the click was too light or off-center to make it actually take affect. You do have to give a deliberate, full press of the button.

The remote reaches about 55 feet in our open-air range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference. This is middle-of-the-road for the wearable vibrators’ remotes we tested, and real-world range will likely be shorter once objects and body interference come in. But the Romp Party has comfortable headroom for most activities, and especially any same-room use. If you need an especially long range, many app-controlled toys stay connected much farther – for instance, the Lovense Ferri stayed connected until 190 feet in our same test.

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

There’s a single button on the toy that cycles forward through the seven power levels, with no patterns mixed into the loop. Unlike the remote, there’s no minus button – dropping back to a gentler setting means clicking forward until you start over in the cycle. Since there’s not many settings it doesn’t take too long to cycle, so the controls work fine if you also want to occasionally use it like a handheld vibe.

The button is well-placed: easy to feel and press without looking, and centered in the middle of the toy rather than tucked at the top the way most panty-vibe buttons sit. Pressing it does push the toy against you, which some people may find slightly uncomfortable, but the mid-toy placement distributes the pressure more evenly across your body than a button near your clit would.

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

Since you’ll use the app, the on-toy controls are very basic – a single button cycles through three power levels and seven vibration patterns, with the full power range only available in the Satisfyer Connect app. Three power levels keep the cycle short enough to tap through quickly, though I wish patterns weren’t on the same cycle – most people don’t use them, and it makes it take more clicks to cycle through power levels.

The button itself is easy to feel without looking. It sits center-placed on the broad, plush body – pressing the button pushes the toy into me a bit, but the pressure spreads evenly enough that it doesn’t dig in.

The Romp Party’s secure fit is great in bed but gets worse with activity. It’s much more secure than panty vibrators without a magnet that just sit loosely in your underwear. But its long, straight body doesn’t curve along your vulva, so it shifts off my clit more easily during walking and moves around during heavier activity than curved toys – even though the magnet keeps the toy itself anchored to my underwear.

In bed, the magnet locks the toy to my underwear and doesn’t slip from where I position it. The toy moves a bit with my body when I shift around, but it stays anchored and keeps a good position for stimulation fairly easily – you’re generally not moving around a ton here so the toy doesn’t shift off your clit that much. Form-fitting underwear helps; loose underwear lets the toy bounce against me more.

Walking is where the design starts working against the toy. The toy stays anchored to the underwear, but it doesn’t press as firmly against my body as panty vibes that curve with your vulva and it wiggles around more easily – so contact between the toy and my clit goes from solid in bed to only decent during light activity like walking around. When wearing a thong, the toy is long enough that the back end can poke out of the underwear as the toy starts to shift; full-backed underwear keeps that from happening.

Heavier activity is the hardest test. Running and jumping jacks bounce the toy around enough that stimulation drops off even more. It doesn’t fall out, but it’s not a good experience.

The magnet design is part of why this toy shifts more. It’s a small disc with decent strength, but it’s not big enough to anchor the long body of the toy completely and prevent the end from swinging around as I move. Still, the magnet is a clear improvement over panty vibes that just tuck into your underwear.

If you want a panty vibe that stays put while you move, the VeDO Niki is a better option in this price range – its body curves, so it stays firmly against your clit during walking instead of shifting off the way the Romp Party does.

The Satisfyer Sexy Secret fits extremely securely in bed, but the contact with my clit loosens a bit when I’m moving around.

The magnet that secures it to your underwear is excellent – strong, broad, and covering a generous portion of the back of the toy, it locks the panty vibrator to my underwear very well. The larger magnet prevents the toy from swiveling side-to-side like toys with smaller magnets often do.

In bed, the Sexy Secret stays exactly where I put it. The broad, soft silicone design follows the curve of my body, keeping it in great contact without shifting around, even as the underwear shifts.

While walking or doing anything upright, the toy’s position in my underwear stays in place, but the toy’s pressure against my body loosens. The magnetic anchor keeps it locked to the underwear reliably – it doesn’t drift to the side or come loose – but gravity pulls the underwear (and the toy with it) a bit away from my clit, so the already-gentle vibrations feel even more tickly than they do when I’m sitting or lying down. Sitting back down restores close contact immediately.

This pulls-away-from-the-body dynamic affects most magnetic panty vibrators to some degree, but it’s more noticeable on the Sexy Secret than on most other panty vibrators I’ve tested. If active-wear is a big priority, the Lovense Ferri and NS Novelties Techno Lucy each fit more securely, and are much more stimulating.

The Romp Party is comfortable in bed if you like focused, slim contact against your clit, but it shifts around enough when walking to cause some slight discomfort.

In bed, I’m not moving a ton, so the toy sits consistently against my body. The silicone is soft and smooth with no poke-y spots. While the contact is more focused than what I get from broader, contoured panty vibes, the pressure stays light enough to feel comfortable.

When walking, the slim, straight shape moves around more than a broader or contoured toy would. The materials are still smooth and there’s no pinching, but the toy taps against my clit a little more than I’d like. If wearing it with a thong, the back end sometimes sticks out of your underwear which is a distracting feeling.

For comfort, both the VeDO Niki and the NS Novelties Techno Lucy are better picks in this price range – each is more form-fitting to keep the toy from shifting uncomfortably.

The Satisfyer Sexy Secret is very comfortable.

It’s among the most comfortable panty vibrators I’ve tested in bed. The broad, soft silicone arm sits flush against my clit, the contoured back piece curves easily between my legs, and the whole form is plush and flexible enough that it feels like it melds to my body – no pinching, no awkward pressure points. The broad part by your clit spreads its weight across the area rather than digging in at one spot, and the form flexes with me as I shift around.

It’s also very comfortable when walking and moving around for many of the same reasons. The only complaint is that when I’m walking or doing anything upright, gravity makes the toy apply less pressure on my clit. So the vibrations are more tickly – it doesn’t bother me personally when walking around, but it could bother those senstive to buzzy, tickly vibrations.

The Romp Party is in the most discreet group of wearable vibrators I’ve tested. However, more stimulating panty vibrators like the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are similarly quiet, so they’re better options for most people.

The Romp Party’s decibel readings on low and high power were extremely quiet, too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to pick up on. The ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and the Romp Party never measured higher than this.

For our Background Noise Masking subtest, I wear the toy while my partner listens from three feet away and we play pink noise through a speaker at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). He couldn’t hear the Romp Party at any vibration strength under any of the three tested volumes of background noise. It’s audible in our room without any pink noise playing – but every wearable I’ve tested is, no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.

For the closed-door part of the test, my partner listens directly outside our bedroom door while I use the toy in bed. I use it like a handheld toy here, since wearing dampens sound and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around. Holding the toy instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. He couldn’t hear the Romp Party from behind the door on any setting.

The Satisfyer Sexy Secret is one of the quietest wearables I’ve tested. But it’s only so quiet because it’s weak – for a stronger, quiet panty vibe consider the VeDO Niki.

The Sexy Secret’s decibel readings on low and high power were extremely quiet, too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to pick up on. The ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and the the vibrations never measured higher than this.

It’s also in the most-discreet group of wearables in our Background Noise Masking subtest. In this part of our noise test, my partner listens from three feet away as I wear the vibrator and we play pink noise through a speaker at set volumes. He couldn’t hear the Sexy Secret at any vibration strength under any of our three tested volumes of background noise (56, 62, or 68 dBA).

While its one of the quietest vibrators, it’s also worth noting that every wearable I’ve tested, including the Sexy Secret, is audible in a fully silent room (no pink noise playing) – no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.

The Sexy Secret was also inaudible behind a closed bedroom door. For this part of the test, my partner listens directly outside our bedroom door while I use the toy in bed. For this test, 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 the toy instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. And he couldn’t hear the Sexy Secret at any setting in a silent house, with no fan or music needed to mask the noise.

However, the VeDO Niki is similarly quiet but is also one of the most stimulating panty vibrators I’ve tested, so it’s a better option if you care about power and noise.

The Romp Party has long battery life – much longer than typical for a panty vibrator in this price range. It lasted 115 minutes at its highest power during our test, more than twice as long as the comparably-priced VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy (both 55 minutes).

If you want even longer, the Lovense Ferri runs about 2.8 hours at top power. It’s pricier than the Romp Party but is a much better panty vibrator overall.

In our test, the Sexy Secret lasted 167 minutes continuously running at its highest power. While that’s among the longest battery lives of any panty vibrator I’ve tested, it’s not very impressive because the top setting is very weak so it doens’t use that much battery.

The Lovense Ferri had basically the same runtime in our test (168 minutes) while being the strongest panty vibe we’ve tested (3.7x stronger than the Sexy Secret).

The Romp Party is easy to clean. It’s fully waterproof – rated IPX7, so you can rinse it under a running faucet or fully submerge it without worry.

The Sexy Secret is fully waterproof (IPX7) so it’s very easy to clean. You can run it under a faucet or submerge the whole toy while scrubbing it with soap and water.

The Romp Party’s build quality is decent for the price, but a step behind most panty vibrators I’ve tested. It’s coated in a nice silicone with a slight flex to the core, and the on-toy and remote-control buttons each have a satisfying click feel. The plastic remote feels fairly sturdy too even though it’s quite lightweight.

The weak spot is the magnet that holds the toy to your underwear. It has decent grip when seated, but it protrudes far enough from the toy that it’s easy to knock off by accident – and the same small magnet is what struggles to anchor the long, stick-straight body during heavier movement.

The Sexy Secret is well-built. Soft silicone coats the entire toy, the magnet holds firmly to the underwear, and the on-toy button is responsive with a noticeable click. The whole form of the toy is flexible and plush for a high-quality feel – it’s just that the motor’s too weak.
