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 Moxie+’s vibration power and rumbliness in-depth.

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Moxie+’s clit stimulation is middle-of-the-road. It’s moderately strong, but the straight design transfers that power inconsistently to my clit. And it’s not that rumbly either like people often expect from We-Vibe.

If you value clit stimulation most, the Lovense Ferri is strongest, or go with the VeDO Niki if you care more about rumbliness. Both are stronger than the Moxie+ and transfer their vibrations better to my clit.

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 Moxie+’s clit motor delivers decent power, but its straight, firm body doesn’t transfer that power to your clit as reliably as the best panty vibrators.

At 6.75 out of 10, the top setting is about 72% of the Lovense Ferri‘s 9.35 and a step behind the VeDO Niki‘s 8.0. I can’t orgasm hands-free with the Moxie+ like I can with those other two panty vibes.

The range is wide with small, comfortable steps between levels. When controlled with the remote, the Moxie+ steps through 13 levels from a very gentle 0.70 up to its 6.75 top setting – so there’s plenty of warmup levels and moderate settings, just nothing very strong at the top.

The vibration transfer to my clit is inconsistent. With a handheld you can press harder for more intensity; with a wearable, the toy’s shape has naturally deliver the vibrations to your clit, and shapes that contour to your body do that better.

The Moxie+ is firm, long, and straight, so it doesn’t stay snug against the body. When I get it situated just right, transfer is fine, but keeping it there is difficult. The straight body slips out of position with normal movement, the same way the Romp Party does, and once it shifts, the intensity I actually feel drops off.

If you want stronger clit stimulation, both the Ferri(app-controlled) and Niki(remote-controlled) are better choices.

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 rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy because most people prefer them – but it’s a personal preference, and some people prefer buzzy – I personally like both.

The Moxie+’s rumbliness is subpar. It’s extremely rumbly on its lowest settings (starting around 49 Hz), but moderately buzzy at median power (102 Hz), and extremely buzzy at the top (122 Hz). Since the lowest settings are gentle and mostly warmup levels – most of the frequency range you’ll use will feel buzzy.

That’s essentially the same profile as most other panty vibrator I’ve tested except the VeDO Niki.

The Lovense Ferri, Romp Party, and NS Novelties Techno Lucy all run moderately buzzy at median power and cross into extremely buzzy on high. However, because some options, like the Ferri, have more power at similar frequencies to the Moxie+, the stronger ones actually feel more rumbly than the Moxie+.

For a wearable clit vibrator, frequency matters less than the power and how reliably the toy delivers that power to your clit – frequency is secondary. But the Moxie+ is only decent on all three. If rumbly vibrations are specifically what you’re after in a panty vibe, the VeDO Niki is the most rumbly and it gets the power and clit transfer right too.

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

We-Vibe’s app is buggy in close range and unreliable in long-distance. Lovense’s app is by far the better app.

In close-range there are ongoing bugs that affect several products, including the Moxie+. The controls sometimes freeze and require you to close/re-open the app. Long-distance control has a bug that often blocks you from connecting at all.

While the Moxie+ specifically has shown fewer bugs in our testing than other We-Vibe products like the We-Vibe Chorus Pro, Jive 2, and other newer models, the persistent glitches for other products make it hard to trust the Moxie+ either.

If app control is a priority to you in a panty vibrator, go with the Lovense Ferri. Its app is the best of any brand, with outstanding features and connectivity. Plus, the Ferri is the panty vibrator I orgasm with hands-free the easiest.

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 We-Vibe Moxie+’s close-range features in the app are decent when they work. It has simple control interfaces to adjust intensity and choose from preset patterns without in-depth custom pattern creation. But bugs occasionally cause the controls to break, which requires an app restart. While the bugs are less prominent for the Moxie+ than for We-Vibe’s newer toys, if app control is a priority, the Lovense Ferri is a far better choice.

We-Vibe’s main control happens on two screens: Single Vibe and Multi Vibe. They work similarly – you drag an on-screen dot to adjust the intensity, and the toy keeps vibrating wherever you leave it. Multi Vibe also splits the screen into four corners, each holding a preset pattern you choose, so dragging the dot into a corner switches to that pattern at whatever strength the dot’s position represents.

It’s a clean design for the basics, and a quick way to flip between a constant intensity and a preset without a menu detour. Unfortunately there’s an annoying bug on the Single and Multi Vibe screens where the motor’s dot sometimes freezes or becomes non-interactive at times.

What you can’t do from these screens is create a custom pattern in the moment the way you can in the Lovense or Satisfyer apps. Pattern creation lives on a separate screen and is pretty unusable.

It’s hidden on a separate screen that takes a few taps to find. Once you’re there, you draw a waveform without being able to feel it; you save and name the pattern, navigate back to the control screen, select the pattern, and only then find out what it feels like.

Patterns are also capped at the width of your screen, so what you create comes back short and choppy. My partner and I both tried creating patterns; his played, mine crashed the app on every one of four attempts and I gave up.

The preset patterns are easy to use but basic. There are 10 of them, each with a name and a one-line waveform icon, so you can roughly tell what you’re picking before you select it. The simple ones – Pulse, Wave – match their names and icons well enough, but others are not intuitive.

You adjust the intensity of a preset pattern from the Single Vibe and Multi Vibe with the control dot. There’s also a Playlist feature for stringing presets together into longer, more varied sequences, but you can’t feel what you’re assembling as you build it, so it’s mostly guesswork – I don’t use it.

Multi-toy control (like if you have a Moxie+ and a Jive 2 for G-spot stimulation) is decent when it works. You can connect several toys at once (we got four going simultaneously) and either control each one independently or merge them all into a single dot. But often one or more of the toys just stopped responding to our actions in the app.

Sound and music modes are okay. Sound mode uses your phone’s mic to make the toy respond to ambient noise. Music mode plays the toy in time with songs saved locally on your phone (no Spotify or Apple Music streaming, which is a bummer).

Both work, but the controls aren’t well labeled – figuring out whether you’re adjusting the mic’s sensitivity or the toy’s max power takes some experimenting. And there’s no minimum-volume threshold, so you can’t tell the toy not to vibrate unless the sound around you is above a certain level.

For better close-range features without bugs, 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 We-Vibe app’s long-distance features are broken. The features are designed fine in theory, but persistent bugs make long-distance play unreliable enough that I can’t recommend the app for it at all. If you need long-distance play, get the Lovense Ferri instead.

The long-distance experience mirrors close-range. Your partner gets the same Single Vibe, Multi Vibe, and Touch screens to control your Moxie+, and vice-versa. You can even take back control of your own toy mid-session without ending the call – a feature I wish more apps had.

But the same bugs from close-range control affect the long-distance control – the control dot occasionally freezes or becomes unresponsive. Additionally, both partners frequently show up as “offline” to each other even when you’re both in the app, which prevents you from starting a session at all.

Even when long-distance does connect, getting into a video call takes four separate request-and-accepts (call, camera, control of your toy, control of theirs). And the in-app video feed is blurry and choppy in a way Lovense’s isn’t.

The messaging itself is decent as a basic messenger, with text, photos, voice notes, and video clips. We-Vibe also lets you save multiple partners, but doesn’t offer the anonymous one-time control links or the auto-accept settings for trusted partners that Lovense’s app does.

For long-distance play, the Lovense Ferri is cheaper and a far better panty vibrator.

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 We-Vibe app’s connectivity with the Moxie+ is poor in close-range and broken in long-distance.

The Bluetooth hardware itself is fine: range is excellent, and body interference doesn’t faze it. But bugs cause unreliable reconnection, frequent command misses, and trouble with long-distance play. Lovense has the most reliable app connectivity by a wide margin – consider the Lovense Ferri if app control is a priority.

Initial pairing in close-range is straightforward – add the Moxie+ to the app’s toy carousel once, and from then on it’s two taps to connect with no on-toy action needed. For most people, who own one or two We-Vibe toys and use a single phone, this part works fine.

The breakdown happens if you own several We-Vibe toys and switch between them often, or if you regularly switch which phone is controlling the same toy (like if you and your partner both connect occasionally). This causes the quick-connect routine to fail, and recovering often means deleting the toy from the app, forgetting it from your phone’s Bluetooth settings, and walking through the full pairing flow again – an annoying start to your play.

Reconnection during play is inconsistent. If you drop signal and get back in range within 10-20 seconds, the app typically reconnects automatically – but during that window the app doesn’t show that the connection has dropped, so your partner can be “controlling” the toy on screen while nothing is actually happening to your toy. Wait too long to come back in range and you’ll have to tap through the connection screens again, sometimes including holding the on-toy button, which can be awkward when you’re wearing the toy.

Even when the connection holds, the app’s controls break. Command misses are frequent enough that I don’t trust the app to keep up with what I’m asking it to do. Especially on Single and Multi Vibe screens.

The Moxie+ handles body interference cleanly. Our body-interference test simulates partner-control at three progressively harder positions – angles where your body sits between a partner’s phone and the toy which can block the signal. The Moxie+ holds a stable connection at all three. Water-rich body tissue weakens Bluetooth signals more than walls or clothes, and many wearables drop the connection at the third, most severe position; the Moxie+ doesn’t. The signal is strong, and the reliability problems are app-side. Bluetooth range is also excellent – the connection held at 250 feet in our open-air test.

Long-distance is where the app is fully broken. The problem is the two app-level bugs I covered in the Long Distance Features section above: both partners frequently show as “offline” to each other and can’t start a session at all, and when they do connect, control commands often stop reaching the toys. Both bugs happen regularly without a reliable way to fix it.

If reliable app connectivity is what you need – close-range or long-distance – go with the Lovense Ferri. It has outstanding connectivity and it’s the panty vibrator I can most consistently orgasm with hands-free.

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.

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

Here’s the main conclusion:

The Moxie+’s remote is good for solo play or partnered play where your partner has a clear line-of-sight to you (like not sitting at an angle to you or behind you). It has all the controls you need and a long connection range.

The one limitation is body interference: commands often don’t go through when your body sits in the signal path between your partner’s remote and the toy, where most panty-vibe remotes I’ve tested hold steady.

Go with the VeDO Niki for reliable through-body partner control.

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 Moxie+’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 13 power levels, and pressing and holding either button steps through them quickly to reach a higher or lower setting faster.

And 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 them on the same loop.

The remote itself is comfortable to hold. It’s small and silicone-coated sitting naturally in my hand, 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 Moxie+’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 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 Moxie+’s remote works well on many connection aspects – fast responsiveness, instant reconnection, and one of the longer ranges of my panty vibrators’ remotes (125 ft in our test). But it’s significantly affected by body interference.

Body tissue between the remote and the toy is the main thing that breaks a remote’s signal during partner control – your body can sit in the signal path between your partner’s remote and the toy. And water-rich materials like your body can significantly dampen Bluetooth and RF signals.

Our body-interference test simulates this scenario at three progressively challenging angles, and the Moxie+’s remote drops the connection at all three – the worst of any panty vibrator (including the original Moxie). The on-toy button flashes indicating it has lost connection, and you have to move the remote closer to recover.

It’s important to understand our test runs harsher than typical real-world conditions. At many angles, an external toy like a panty vibrator won’t have any body interference blocking the signal. So your partner-controlled play may be less drop-prone in practice. And for solo control when I’m holding the remote myself, commands have gone through reliably. But most panty-vibe remotes and apps I’ve tested hold a reliable connection through body interference.

If you want reliable control without worrying about where your partner is positioned from you, go with the VeDO Niki for a remote controlled toy or the Lovense Ferri for an app-controlled toy.

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 Moxie+’s on-toy controls are limited by design – the toy sits inside your underwear during use, so you’ll typically rely on the remote.

A single button cycles through four power levels and six patterns, with no minus button. To step back to a gentler power, you click forward through the rest of the loop.

The button is easy to feel, but it’s slim and takes more pressure than most. It also sits at the very top of the toy, so pressing it pushes the toy uncomfortably against my clit. Slipping my thumb under to brace it works, but it’s awkward.

For the full 13-step power range – and any adjustment you’d rather not reach into your underwear to make – the remote does the real work.

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 Moxie+’s magnet anchors the toy reliably to your underwear in bed, while walking, and during heavy exercise, but there’s some side-to-side swiveling.

The magnet is strong, but it’s a small disc at the top of a long toy without any body contouring. The magnet pins the clit-end securely and that point stays locked to your underwear. But the long, straight lower end has room to swing slightly side-to-side as I move. The more body-contouring shape of panty vibrators like the VeDO Niki and NS Novelties Techno Lucy reduces that side-to-side movement.

Underwear choice also matters across every activity – form-fitting underwear keeps the Moxie+ snug much better. With a looser pair, the magnet still holds, but the underwear itself can shift and move the toy with it.

In bed, with tight underwear, I could keep the Moxie+ in a good, stimulating position.

Standing, walking, or doing heavier activity like running/jumping is where it moves side-to-side more and the contact with my clit loosens a bit – something a lot of magnetic panty vibes do to some degree. The toy doesn’t drift sideways or come loose, but gravity pulls my underwear (and the toy with it) a bit away from my clit when I’m upright. Pulling everything up to sit closer to my body fixes it, but it’s an adjustment I make every so often.

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 Moxie+ is comfortable without too much movement, but its firm, slim body delivers more focused pressure on my clit than broader panty vibrators – pleasant if you like a precise point of contact, potentially uncomfortable if you don’t.

In bed, the silicone surface is soft and smooth and doesn’t tap around too much. With no flex and a slim profile, the Moxie+ contacts a precise area for focused stimulation.

When I’m walking around, the same firm, straight shape shifts more than a broader or contoured toy would – particularly on stairs or when I’m going from sitting to standing. Sometimes this can feel more stimulating, but other times it’s uncomfortable. If you’re sensitive to overstimulation, the lack of control here may be overwhelming.

A broader panty vibrator with more even pressure is more consistently comfortable. Like the VeDO Niki (remote-controlled) and the NS Novelties Techno Lucy (app-controlled). Two more comfortable picks at a lower price.

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 We-Vibe Moxie+ is quiet.

Decibel readings on low and high were both too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to register. The ambient room noise was 35 dBA, and the Moxie+ never measured higher than that.

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 quiet audio (56 dB), every setting was masked except high – on high, my partner could just barely make out a low hum, and only when I held still. Once I started moving, even high became hard to discern.

At our moderate and loud volumes, every setting was fully masked. It’s also worth noting that every wearable I’ve tested, including the Moxie+, is audible in a fully silent room (no pink noise playing) – no matter how gentle and quiet its vibrations are.

For the closed-door test, my partner listens directly outside our bedroom door while I use the toy in bed. I use it as a handheld since wearing dampens sound and some people want the flexibility to safely re-position the toy or move it around – holding gives the most conservative results. My partner could not hear the Moxie+ on any power level.

It’s worth noting that the Moxie+ is quieter than the original Moxie. We’re uncertain whether that is a design upgrade, or if the Moxie just grew lounder over time.

If you want a panty vibrator that was fully masked by our quietest tested background level (56 dBA), consider the NS Novelties Techno Lucy (app-controlled) or VeDO Niki (remote-controlled).

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 Moxie+ has decent battery life – 85 minutes on its highest power in our test. If you specifically want a long battery life, go with the Lovense Ferri which lasted nearly twice as long (168 minutes).

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 We-Vibe Moxie+ is fully IPX7 waterproof, so it’s very easy to clean. You can run it under a faucet or fully submerge it in soapy water without worry.

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 Moxie+ is solidly built. The body is nearly identical to the original We-Vibe Moxie – a smooth silicone coating over a firm core, with a moderate-strength magnet holding it to your underwear. The on-toy button is the older We-Vibe design, harder to press than the buttons on newer toys but still workable.

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.
