Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The VeDO Kiwi is the best remote-controlled G-spot egg I’ve tested if you want deep, rumbly vibrations at a much lower price than premium eggs like the Lovense Lush 4 and We-Vibe Jive 2. It’s very stimulating, with a wide power range that starts gently and builds to a strong top setting. While not quite as powerful as those pricier eggs, it has the most rumbly vibrations of any wearable vibrator I’ve tested.
It’s also one of the more comfortable G-spot eggs I’ve worn. Its slimmer, cylindrical shape doesn’t press into my bladder the way wider, bulbous eggs can, but its strong rumbliness still transfers well to my G-spot to feel full and impactful. The remote is simple but effective for solo use or close-range partner control, with a reliable connection that holds up well to body interference.
The main limitation is the remote’s range. The Kiwi’s remote only reached about 16 feet in our test, so it’s not the right pick if you want a partner to control it from across the house. For longer range, slightly stronger vibrations, and more targeted G-spot pressure, consider the We-Vibe Jive 2. If you want an app-controlled option, the Lovense Lush 4 is best.
But if you mainly want a quiet, comfortable, strongly rumbly egg for solo play or same-room partner control, the VeDO Kiwi is an excellent value.
The VeDO Niki is one of the best panty vibrators I’ve tested if you want deep, rumbly clit stimulation and a physical remote rather than an app. It’s the most rumbly panty vibrator I’ve tested, and one of the few I can actually orgasm with hands-free.
The Niki’s broad, flexible, curved shape stays in consistent contact with your clit so the vibrations transfer where they should go, and it’s one of the most comfortable panty vibrators I’ve worn – secure during in-bed use and walking around, and very quiet. The remote is great too – reliable connection, quick response, and good intensity controls.
The trade-offs the Niki makes to hit its affordable price are having no app at all – so no long-distance partner control and no visual feedback for your controlling partner – and a short 55-minute battery on high. If those matter, the Lovense Ferri is the better pick: slightly stronger, with a battery life about three times the Niki’s, and the best app of any brand. Otherwise, the VeDO Niki is an outstanding remote-controlled panty vibe at a budget price.
The VeDO Kiwi is a good egg vibrator if you want a quiet, comfortable toy for wearing around the house or using with a partner close by.
It stays securely in place during movement, feels comfortable while walking around, and has very quiet vibrations. Its strong, rumbly vibrations are very stimulating. And it has an easy to use remote that holds its connection reliably through body interference.
The main limitations are the average battery life (75 mins on high) and that you can’t separate the remote and toy by much distance (16 feet). So it’s not the best choice if you want someone to control it from across the house.
For longer physical remote range, the We-Vibe Jive 2 is better. If you want app control or long-distance control (with a partner anywhere in the world over the internet), consider the Lovense Lush 4 instead.
But for close-range control, solo wear, or shorter wear, the Kiwi works well: secure, quiet, comfortable, and stimulating.
The VeDO Niki is a great choice for wearing around if you want strong, rumbly stimulation with a physical remote.
Its broad, body-contouring shape makes it one of the most comfortable panty vibrators I’ve worn for walking, sitting, and other light activity – most panty vibes get less comfortable when you’re moving, but not the Niki. It stays securely in place as I move, and it’s one of the quietest panty vibrators to wear.
The Niki’s weak spots for wearing around are lack of app control and short battery life. The Niki uses a remote instead – so no long-distance partner control and no real-time visuals which help a partner feel more engaged – but that doesn’t matter much if you’re controlling it yourself. And its 55-minute runtime on high power is a little short for extended wear.
If an app matters to you, the Lovense Ferri is the better fit: the best app-controlled panty vibrator I’ve tested, with battery about three times longer than the Niki’s. On a budget, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy is a decent app-controlled alternative, though its app is much more limited than the Ferri’s.
If you like a phyical remote more than an app and don’t need partner control, the Niki delivers strong rumbly stimulation, comfortable wear, and quiet vibrations at an affordable price.
The VeDO Kiwi is excellent for solo use in bed, especially if you want strong, rumbly internal vibrations while keeping your hands free.
Its unusually deep vibrations make it more stimulating than most egg vibrators in this price range, and the wide power range gives you gentle levels for warming up before building to the stronger settings.
Since the Kiwi stays securely inserted, it works well for hands-free G-spot stimulation – whether you enjoy internal stimulation on its own or want your hands free for clit stimulation, touching, reading, or anything else.
The Kiwi is slimmer and more comfortable than wider eggs like the Lovense Lush 4 and We-Vibe Jive 2, though those more contoured eggs press more firmly into the G-spot. If you want stronger targeted pressure, either of those is a better fit. And if you’re actually looking for hands-free clit stimulation, consider a panty vibrator like the Lovense Ferri instead.
But if you want comfortable, strong, rumbly, internal vibrations, the Kiwi is one of the best values I’ve tested. It’s also shaped like a wide bullet vibrator, and doubles well as an occasional handheld clit vibe.
The VeDO Niki is one of the best panty vibrators for strong, hands-free clit stimulation in bed, especially if you prefer rumbly vibrations. It’s one of the few panty vibrators I actually orgasm with hands-free.
The Niki delivers strong, deep, rumbly vibrations, and its broad, flexible, curved shape stays in consistent contact with my clit so the stimulation lands where it should. Comfort and secure fit in bed are both excellent – the toy distributes pressure evenly across my body and stays exactly where I want it without me having to reach down and adjust.
The Niki’s main concession here is session length – its 55-minute battery is short, so you just have to make sure charge after each use. If you care more about raw power, the Lovense Ferri and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are great (but buzzier) alternatives. And the Ferri has a battery life 3x longer.
If you mainly want a panty vibrator for solo in-bed use and value strong, rumbly clit stimulation, the Niki is one of the best options at this price.

Clit Stimulation: Main Takeaways
Like all egg vibrators, the VeDo Kiwi only stimulates your G-spot – not your clit. For clit stimulation, a panty vibrator is the better type of wearable for you. See all our recommendations for the best panty vibrators here.
An egg vibrator is a good option if:
- You enjoy internal vibrations, G-spot pressure, or fullness on its own. (Many people need clit stimulation to orgasm, but internal stimulation can still feel good and be great foreplay.)
- You plan to pair it with clit stimulation from something else.
I can’t orgasm even with our strongest G-spot vibrator alone, but when I pair it with clitoral stimulation, it makes my orgasms feel more full.
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Niki’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Niki is one of the most stimulating panty vibrators and one of the few I can orgasm with hands-free. It’s strong, transfers the vibes where they should go, and is the most rumbly panty vibe I’ve tested. If you value raw power most, go with the stronger Lovense Ferri. If strong, rumbly vibrations matter more, go with the Niki.
Clit Vibrations: Power, Range, and Transfer Effectiveness
The Niki’s clit motor hits a top power of 8.0 out of 10 – great power, but not the strongest panty vibrator out there. Both the Lovense Ferri and NS Novelties Techno Lucy are stronger on high power, though both are also noticeably buzzier than the Niki. Where the Niki stands out isn’t raw power, though – it’s that the broad, flexible, curved design delivers that power to your body unusually well – essential for good stimulation in a hands-free toy. Among panty vibrators, only the Ferri transfers more of its motor’s strength to the clit.
For me, the Niki’s 8.0 top strength is enough power to orgasm hands-free. If top vibration strength is your main priority, go with the Ferri – but the Niki is plenty powerful for most people.
The Niki has six power levels spanning a wide range, from a very gentle 1.0 for warmup up to 8.0 at the top. That low end matters more with a wearable than with a handheld because you can’t just lift a panty vibrator off your body when things start feeling too intense – it’s nice to be able to dial down without reaching to pull the toy out of place.
Vibration transfer is where the Niki really stands out from most panty vibes. With a handheld you can position the vibrator exactly where you want it and just press harder to make the vibes feel more intense; with most wearables, you can’t, so the toy’s shape has to naturally transfer the vibrations where they should go. And the Niki’s shape does that well – its broad, flexible, curved design stays consistently in contact with my body transferring the vibrations right to my clit.
I wear it two different ways: with the top near my clit and the back end toward my vagina, or my preferred “upside-down” way with the top just under my clit and the rest of the toy wrapped up around my pubic bone. The vibrations transfer really well either way, but the toy stays even tighter to my body with the upside-down method.
The Niki’s curve also lets you press harder when you want to for more stimulation – something flat panty vibes can’t do. When you’re sitting, you can shift your weight against the end of the toy that’s opposite your clit. The surface pushes against the base and the curve tilts the clit end to press more firmly into you making the vibes feel stronger. It’s the closest a hands-free wearable gets to the better pressure control of a handheld.
Clit Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer rumbly. But it’s a personal preference, and some people like buzzy vibrations more.
The Niki is the most rumbly panty vibrator we’ve tested. Every other panty vibrator I’ve tested – the Lovense Ferri, We-Vibe Moxie+, NS Novelties Techno Lucy, and Romp Party – center around around the moderately or extremely buzzy frequency range. The Niki is the only one with a primarily rumbly clit motor.
The Niki’s lowest settings are extremely rumbly, the middle settings stay moderately rumbly, and only the very top setting feels neutral – never becoming buzzy. All the other panty vibrators we’ve tested become buzzy on their top settings. The Niki’s rumbliness has real power behind it too – the motor is strong as well as deep.
If rumbliness is what you want from a panty vibrator, the Niki is the best choice – no other panty vibrator I’ve tested comes close. If you care more about raw power than rumbliness, the Ferri is excellent – it’s less rumbly, but it’s stronger with excellent vibration transfer, and I can orgasm hands-free from it just as easily as from the Niki.
G-spot Stimulation: Main Takeaways
In the next sections, I’ll cover the VeDO Kiwi’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The VeDO Kiwi is very stimulating. It’s the most rumbly egg vibrator and very strong.
If you value power and more G-spot pressure, a few pricier eggs have a bit more strength and a shape that presses more into your G-spot, such as the Lovense Lush 4 (app-controlled) and We-Vibe Jive 2 (mostly remote-controlled). If you care more about rumbliness, the Kiwi is better.
Like all panty vibrators, the VeDo Niki only stimulates your clit – not your G-spot. Since most women need clit stimulation to orgasm, a panty vibrator is often the right type of wearable. But if you’re interested in G-spot stimulation instead, see all our recommendations for the best egg vibrators here.
G-spot Vibrations: Power, Range, and Transfer Effectiveness
The VeDO Kiwi is a very strong egg vibrator, reaching a top power of 8.0 out of 10. Its vibrations are also unusually deep and rumbly, so that strength feels rich, full, and impactful.
It has six power levels with a wide range, starting at a gentle 1.0 for warmup and building to its strong top setting.
The Kiwi doesn’t press as directly into my G-spot as contoured eggs like the Lovense Lush 4 or We-Vibe Jive 2. Its slimmer, cylindrical shape spreads the vibrations along more of the front wall instead of targeting one precise spot. But because the vibrations are so deep and rumbly, they still transfer well and feel very stimulating.
The Lush 4 and Jive 2 offer more targeted G-spot pressure, and are stronger overall. But the Kiwi has plenty of power for most people – especially at roughly half the price.
G-spot Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
The VeDO Kiwi has the most rumbly vibrations of any wearable vibrator I’ve tested.
For G-spot stimulation, rumbly vibrations matter more than they do for clitoral. With clit vibrators, you’re placing the vibe directly on a highly sensitive area. But G-spot vibrations have to travel farther through tissue to reach more nerve-rich regions, and lower-frequency rumbly vibrations travel through your body much more effectively.
The Kiwi’s vibrations remain rumbly throughout its full power range. Most of the settings are extremely rumbly. And even the top setting, where most egg vibrators cross into buzzy territory, including the pricier Lovense Lush 4 and We-Vibe Jive 2, measures 69.24 Hz, which is moderately rumbly. Vibrators always become buzzier as you turn them up, but the Kiwi never crosses into the buzzy range.
The deep rumbliness combined with the Kiwi’s strong power makes for impactful stimulation.
App Control: Main Takeaways
The VeDo Kiwi 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).

Remote Control: Main Takeaways
In the next sections, I’ll cover the VeDO Kiwi’s remote features and connectivity.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Kiwi’s remote is great for solo use or same-room partnered control, with great intensity controls and a reliable connection, even through body interference. The only downside is its short connection range at about 16 ft.
If you need longer range with a physical remote for across-the-room play, consider the We-Vibe Jive 2. Or if you’re okay with an app instead, try the Lovense Lush 4. If you don’t need a longer range, the Kiwi’s remote is excellent.
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Niki’s remote features and connectivity.
Here’s the main conclusion:
The Niki has one of the better panty-vibe remotes – reliable connection, quick response, and fast, direct power buttons. Its main limitations are typical of remotes versus apps: less partner feedback and shorter range. Go with the Lovense Ferri for app control, but the Niki has great remote control, which can be nice if you don’t want you or a partner to be tied to a phone.
Remote Control: Features
The VeDO Kiwi’s remote features are great with a few minor downsides – most of which are typical of remotes compared to apps.
Power control is fast and direct – you can move forward and backward through the six power levels with dedicated + and – buttons.
Pattern navigation uses a single-button cycle loop – clicking through the ten patterns one at a time, with no way to go backward to a previous pattern. In practice this doesn’t matter that much, since most people stay on steady vibrations rather than cycling through patterns. You can also adjust the intensity of each pattern.
The remote is comfortable to hold, but the buttons are less raised than the best remotes. So I can’t easily tell which button is which by feel like I can with some, like the We-Vibe Jive 2‘s remote. That’s something you get used to as you use it more.
Like most remotes, the Kiwi’s gives your partner just a faint blink when you press a button – no way to tell what setting your toy is on or whether the vibrations actually changed. That’s fine if you’re using the Kiwi yourself and many partners won’t mind.
Others find it less engaging when they can’t tell what your toy is doing and what you’re actually feeling. App control gives your partner real-time visuals of the toy’s vibrations, which makes controlling it feel more engaging. If that’s a priority for you, try the Lovense Lush 4. Or Lush Mini if you prefer slimmer toys.
The Niki’s remote is great with a few minor downsides – most of which are typical of remotes compared to apps.
Power control is fast and direct – you can move forward and backward through the six power levels with dedicated + and – buttons. Pattern navigation uses a single-button cycle loop – clicking forward through the nine patterns one at a time, with no way to go backward to a previous pattern. In practice this doesn’t matter that much, since most people stay on steady vibrations rather than cycling through patterns. You can also adjust the intensity of each pattern.
The remote is comfortable to hold, but the buttons themselves are less tactile than the best panty-vibe remotes – they’re not raised enough to tell which is which by feel, so I have to look at the remote to find the right button – something you get used to as you use the remote more.

An app-controlled panty vibe gives your partner real-time visuals of the toy’s vibrations, which makes controlling it feel more engaging. If that’s a priority for you, the Lovense Ferri is the best app-controlled panty vibe, and Lovense has the best app of any brand.
Remote Control: Connectivity
The VeDO Kiwi’s remote connectivity is excellent and reliable as long as your partner is close-by.
Body tissue between a remote and toy is typically the main thing that breaks a remote’s signal during partner control, but the Kiwi holds up well to this. Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Kiwi holds a stable connection through all of them. Our test runs harsher than typical real-world conditions, so partner-controlled play should stay reliable in practice.
Button presses register with barely any delay – the toy reacts the moment my finger leaves the button, keeping the rhythm of play intact. And theres no reconnection routine required when starting to play – the remote is always connected.
The remote reached 16 feet in our open-air range test – measured with clear line-of-sight and no body interference – which is the shortest range of my wearable vibrators. That’s still enough to comfortably cover typical nearby same-room partnered control or solo use. But across-the-room play is trickier.
If you want a longer remote range without switching to apps, the We-Vibe Jive 2 reached about 125 feet in the same test – roughly eight times the Kiwi’s range. And if you’re okay with app control instead, the Lovense Lush 4 reached 345 feet or can connect over the internet, so distance stops being a factor.
The Niki’s remote connectivity is excellent, though its maximum range lands in the middle of the pack.

The remote reaches about 60 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 this gives you enough flexibility for most activities, and especially any same-room use. If you need an especially long range, many app-controlled toys stay connected farther – for instance, the Lovense Ferri stayed connected until 190 feet in our same test.
On-Toy Controls
Like most insertable eggs, the Kiwi’s on-toy controls are limited – but even moreso than most. Its single button is on the egg body itself, which means it’s inaccessible when wearing the toy. If you want to adjust it during wear, the remote is the only option. This also means you have to turn it on before inserting.
When you do use the on-toy button, it cycles through one steady vibration and nine patterns at a single fixed power level. To adjust the vibration power, you have to use the remote control.
That said, the button is more usable if you’re holding the Kiwi externally and using it like a bullet vibrator for clit stimulation. While the one-button cycling controls aren’t ideal, they’re good enough for occasional external use.
Like most wearable vibrators the Niki’s on-toy controls are limited by design, since you’ll typically use the remote to control it. There’s a single button that cycles through a steady vibration and nine patterns – all at one fixed intensity. To use the toy’s full six-level power range, you need the remote.
The button itself has a subtle feel and sits further back on the toy, so it takes some reaching to press if for some reason you want to change settings without the remote. When you do press the button, the toy’s broad, flexible shape keeps the pressure comfortable against your body. The on-toy button works as a backup, but the remote is the main way you’ll use the Niki.
Secure Fit & Adjustability
The VeDO Kiwi has a great secure fit, staying put at any activity level.
That’s typical for an egg vibrator. Once the toy is fully inserted, your own anatomy holds it in place naturally. The kind of secure-fit problems more common with external wearables don’t really apply to eggs. Most of the eggs I’ve tested fit just as solidly across every activity tier.
In my experience the Niki stays securely in the ideal place when wearing it in bed and during normal everyday activity like walking or going up and down stairs – but it shifts more during heavy movement like running or jumping.
The Niki’s broad, flexible, curved design contours to your body, so it stays snug and doesn’t shift during light activity the way some slimmer or straight panty vibrators can. It’s also secured to your underwear by a magnet – essential for any panty vibrator to fit securely. The Niki’s magnet is on the weaker side compared to other panty vibrators, but in normal wear that’s not really an issue – the form-fitting shape prevents the kind of shifting, tilting, or movement that would pull the magnet off, and the magnet itself is slim and form-fitted to the toy so it doesn’t get bumped off easily. The magnet can come loose when you actively re-position the toy in your underwear, but otherwise has stayed attached for me.
Heavy activity is not as good. When running, the toy bounces on landings and the stimulation briefly pulls away before gravity returns it. With jumping jacks, it slid further down in my underwear, and I had to adjust the placement afterward. It never fell out, but during vigorous movement the form-fitting shape can’t fully prevent the toy from shifting, and the relatively weak magnet doesn’t pick up the slack the way a stronger one can.
If you specifically want a panty vibrator that holds securely under intense movement, the NS Novelties Techno Lucy holds up better. Otherwise, the Niki’s fit is reliable for the way most people will actually use it.
Comfort
The VeDO Kiwi is very comfortable.
It’s cylindrical shape is slimmer than bulbous eggs like the Lovense Lush 4 and We-Vibe Jive 2, which makes it easy to insert and avoids the extra pressure against my bladder that those bulbous eggs can produce. I’m able to wear this one longer than wider eggs without becoming uncomfortable.
Lying in bed I can feel a faint tingle from the vibrations traveling into the pull-string, but I don’t find it distracting.
During light activity – walking around the house, going up and down stairs – I notice a little pressure at the inside of the vaginal entrance since this egg is a little taller than some, but nothing distracting. And the pull-string is hardly noticeable when held tight to my body by clothing.
If maximum comfort is a priority, the Lovense Lush Mini is even more comfortable because it’s shorter and the bulb sits a bit higher up in the vagina. But most people will be happy with the Kiwi’s comfort.
The Niki is one of the most comfortable panty vibrators I’ve tested, and the comfort holds up just as well when I’m moving around as it does lying in bed.
That’s less common than you’d expect. Most panty vibrators are noticeably less comfortable during light activity than lying down – mostly because toys can poke or apply uneven pressure when walking – but not for the Niki. The Niki’s broad, flexible, curved shape distributes pressure evenly across my body, so there’s no digging in, no pinching when I close my legs, and no uncomfortable tapping when I move. It blankets the area rather than pressing into a single spot.
One wear note: I find the Niki most comfortable when worn upside-down (so the charging port end is facing upward), with the toy’s curve wrapping up around my pubic bone. The reverse orientation is still great, but “upsidown” is slightly more comfortable and stimulating for me.
Noise
The Kiwi is a very quiet egg vibrator.
Decibel readings on low power were too quiet for our sound level meter to pick up above the room’s 35 dBA ambient noise. On high, the Kiwi reached about 43 dBA – still quiet overall.
It’s in the most discreet group of wearables I’ve tested for our Background Noise Masking subtest. My partner listens from three feet away while we play pink noise at quiet, moderate, and loud volumes (56, 62, and 68 dBA). He couldn’t hear the Kiwi at any vibration strength under any of the three volumes. It is definitely audible in our room without any background audio playing – but every wearable vibrator I’ve tested is audible in a fully silent room, no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.
For the closed-door test, my partner stands directly outside our bedroom door while I use the Kiwi in bed. I hold it rather than wear it for this subtest, since wearing dampens sound and some people want the flexibility to use it clitorally – holding gives the most conservative results. My partner couldn’t hear it on low or medium power. On high, he could just barely make it out, and only when the house was completely silent – even light ambient sound, like cars passing outside, masked it.
The VeDO Niki is a very quiet panty vibrator – one of the areas it outperforms the Lovense Ferri a bit. Decibel readings on both 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 Niki never measured higher than this.
It’s in the most discreet group of wearables I’ve tested 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). My partner couldn’t hear the Niki at any vibration strength under any of our three tested volumes of background noise. It is definitely audible in our room without any background audio playing – but every wearable vibrator I’ve tested is audible in a fully silent room, no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.
For our closed-bedroom-door test, my partner stands directly outside the bedroom while I use the toy in bed. I use it like a handheld toy since wearing dampens sound, and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around – holding it instead of wearing it gives us the most conservative results. My partner couldn’t hear the Niki on its low or middle power levels. He could just barely hear it on high in our completely silent house – pretty faint, and easily masked by cars passing by outside. When I re-checked while actually wearing the Niki, the sound was significantly dampened and he couldn’t hear it on any setting.
Battery Life
The Kiwi’s battery life is decent. It lasted 75 minutes running continuously at its highest power in our test, which is shorter than many higher-end G-spot eggs. Since most people won’t use the highest setting the entire time, real-use runtime will likely be longer.
If battery life is a priority, the Lovense Lush 4 lasted about 120 minutes in our test – roughly 60% longer than the Kiwi, but at about twice the price. The Svakom Phoenix Neo 2 lasted much longer at about 258 minutes, more than three times the Kiwi’s runtime, while staying in a similar price range, but it’s worse overall.
The Niki has a short battery life. It lasted 55 minutes continuously running at its highest power during our test – below the higher-end panty vibrators. Since you’ll use the Niki’s lower power levels too, your real-use runtime will likely be longer.
If long battery life is a priority, go with the Lovense Ferri – it lasted 168 minutes during our test, about three times the Niki’s runtime.
Cleaning
Cleaning the Kiwi is simple in practice, but I rated it conservatively because I couldn’t confirm its exact waterproof rating. VeDO lists it as “splashproof,” which usually means IPX5 or IPX6 – safe to rinse under a faucet – but can also mean IPX4, which is not faucet-safe. I emailed VeDO to confirm the rating and didn’t hear back, so I scored it as if it should not be rinsed directly.
In real use, I do rinse most of the Kiwi under the faucet while keeping water away from the charging port. Lube and debris can collect at the pull-cord/charging port seam over time, so I periodically unscrew it and clean inside with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the Niki is straightforward in practice, but our rating is conservative because we couldn’t confirm the toy’s exact waterproof status. VeDO lists it as “splashproof – suitable for shower” on their site, which usually corresponds to an IPX5 or IPX6 rating. Products with those ratings are safe to clean under a running faucet or use in the shower, but IPX4 products (which are also sometimes called “splashproof”) are not. We emailed VeDO to confirm the exact IPX rating and didn’t hear back, so we rated the Niki’s cleaning based on not being able to run it under a faucet.
In practice I do run most of the Niki under a faucet without being especially careful, just keeping water away from the charging port and wiping that area with a cloth. I haven’t encountered any issues.
Build Quality
The Kiwi feels well-built overall, and I’ve had it since 2022. It has smooth, firm silicone with a small plastic ring where the pull cord attaches, which unscrews to reveal the charging port. The seam feels tight when closed, but lube and debris can still collect there, so it needs occasional detailed cleaning.
The pull cord is a slim, slightly stretchy loop that has held up well. The toy and remote buttons are easy to press with a clear click, and while the plastic remote feels very lightweight and cheap, it works reliably.
The Niki feels well-built. It’s coated in smooth silicone with a small plastic section around the charging port, and the toy’s slight flex feels sturdy and adds to its comfort. I’ve had mine since 2021 and it’s continued to operate as expected. The plastic remote is very lightweight and cheap-feeling, but it functions well.
