Choosing Between Love Eggs and Panty Vibrators
The most common forms of panty vibrators are remote-control love eggs and external clit stimulators, but if you don’t have much experience with one or the other, it can be a bit tricky to figure out which might feel the best for you. If you’re not sure which type will work best for your needs, here’s a few things to consider about each of them:
Love Eggs
- They are worn inside the vagina for internal stimulation
- They usually vibrate or pulsate to stimulate the g-spot and give you deep internal orgasms.
- They also usually have a ‘tail’ that remains outside your body so you can easily control it and take it out when you’re done. Sometimes the tail also acts as a clit vibrator for added stimulation.
- The sounds are muffled by your body so they can be more discreet.
- They are less likely to move around.
Clit Stimulators
- They sit outside the body, resting against and stimulating the clitoris.
- A large proportion of people with vaginas need clitoral stimulation to orgasm, making these kinds of toys popular.
- They are often held in place by magnets.
- They can be a little louder than egg vibrators as they are outside the body.

What to Look for When Choosing the Best Panty Vibrator
Here is a short guide to help you choose the best panty vibrator for your needs!
Material Safety
Always look for vibrating panties made from body-safe materials that are free of harmful chemicals such as phthalates. The best option is always silicone vibrators, as they are non-porous and easy to clean. ABS plastic is also a safe choice for a panty vibrator.
Avoid any soft plastics, such as rubber or PVC, as they are porous and can contain nasty chemicals.
Power and Battery Life
Some vibrating panties are battery-operated, and you need to replace them after a certain number of uses. Others are rechargeable and can be easily charged with a USB charger. Rechargeable vibrating panties tend to be more powerful, and you don’t need worry about replacing the batteries!
If you want to wear your vibrating panties on the go, look for a long battery life, as you don’t want it dying half way through the fun!
Noise Level
Some vibrating panties can be noisy, distracting, or disruptive during use. Check the noise level if you want to use your vibrating panties for public play!
Intensity and Type of Vibration
Consider whether you enjoy very powerful stimulation or prefer more subtle vibrations. Lovense vibrating panties tend to be on the stronger end of the scale, so this is a good option if you prefer very powerful stimulation, whereas Satisfyer panty vibrators tend to be more gentler.
You should also consider if you prefer more buzzy vibrations or rumbly vibrations.
App Connectivity
If you are looking for an app-controlled panty vibrator, it’s good to do some research into the features and connection quality. You should also consider if it offers the opportunity for long distance play via wifi as well as short distance bluetooth control.
Internal vs External Stimulation
If you love clitoral stimulation, look for an panty vibrator that sits in your panties and rests against the clitoris. These are usually held in place by magnets.
If you prefer internal stimulation, you should look for an egg style vibrator, or a panty vibrator that provides both internal and external stimulation.
Ease of Use
When it comes to enjoying your vibrating panties, you want to make sure the controls are easy to use, especially if you are using them out in public! Look for vibrating panties with an app or remote control that has intuitive controls.
Is it Discreet?
Look for a panty vibrator that is easy to hide and doesn’t stick out of your underwear. It’s also a good idea to make sure you have a small bag for it so you have somewhere to put it if you need to take it out while you are out and about!
Price
The price of vibrating panties can vary quite a lot, from under $50 to well over $100. Satisfyer make some great, cheaper options, while We-Vibe and Lovense are more premium price products.
Brand
Some people have a brand of sex toys they know and love, and that can be a good starting point in your search for the perfect vibrating panties!
You can also read reviews to get an idea of the brand and their products.
All You Need to Know About Vibrating Panties Connectivity
Good connectivity is a very important feature when choosing any sex toy. And with wearable vibrators, the requirements are even higher! Here are my thoughts on what makes for a good app.
Reliable connection
A reliable connection is essential for a connected sex toy to function properly. Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity can sometimes be unreliable. Connectivity issues can happen if other devices interfere, the range is exceeded, the batteries are low, or the software is outdated.
Meanwhile, remote controls that are physically connected to sex toys tend to maintain a strong connection with the toy, but their range is often more limited compared to sex toys controlled through mobile apps.
Range
Some sex toys have a short range and require the user to be close to the toy to control it, while others have a longer range that allows for remote control from another room or even from a different location altogether.
Remote-controlled toys usually have a shorter range (approximately 30 to 200ft), while app-controlled toys can be controlled from longer distances, even worldwide, via the internet. Which is a great feature if you are in a long-distance relationship.
Ease of Use
Mobile apps offer a wide range of features: unlimited vibration patterns, the ability to connect the divide to your favorite playlists, and, most importantly, connecting to your partner anywhere!
However, not all apps are intuitive, and logging in to the app can take a while. The remotes are very simple to use, but their abilities are limited.
Discreetness
A a very important feature, especially if you are interested in public play! Obviously, using your phone to control the vibes is way more discreet than holding a remote control.
However, remember that apps may collect data or require access to sensitive information, which could compromise privacy.
