I've reviewed panty vibes before with varying results. They all have their pros and cons, but the Connection Vibe has the unique quality of being able to attach wirelessly to your (or your special someone's) phone.

In my experience, panty vibes are great as mood enhancers and add a little (or a lot) of spice to a date night or even just for foreplay. Personally I like to sneak them on trips...handing the remote to my hubby while he's driving can definitely make a trip go by more enjoyably! I'll have to think about this one as it will look more like he's texting than controlling my clandestine teaser.

Although I've seen those videos where women literally fall to the ground, groaning in ecstasy and screaming passionately while passerby's stare in confusion, that has not been my experience with these type of toys. Instead, I have consistently found that the stimulating buzz is pleasurable, and although it can certainly get me hot and wet, it is more of a foreplay for me...eagerly enticing me to get where we're going.

I think the questions we all have regarding these lovely toys is as follows:
1) Is it going to fall out?
2) Is it going to stay where it needs to be?
3) Is it going to be obvious that I'm wearing it?
4) Is it going to be too loud to be in public?

I'll answer all of those questions below.

Regarding the toy itself, it is certainly well-made, waterproof, smooth and silky, and charges with a magnetic port. She is a beauty, and yes, the vibrations are super strong! The thing that set this panty vibe apart was the connection, via an app that is downloaded on your phone. I read several reviews from other toys in this line which use the same app. There were some questions as why the app required certain permissions, but I didn't find them to be too worrisome. Also, I was happy to discover that you can try the toy out without actually creating an account.

When you first open the app, the login screen will appear, asking you to create an account. However, at the bottom of the screen is a "Solo Pattern" option. If you click on that it will warn you that you won't have full access...but go ahead and try it out.


After clicking through those options, you will be given a link to connect to your toy. I was only given one option and after clicking it, the app connected perfectly and quickly to the toy.


This took me to a limited functionality screen with various patterns an intensities. This was a great way to introduce the features of the toy, however I have to admit that actually creating an account and getting access to the other options (video controlled, music controls, etc) was fun. Hey, life's an adventure!

So, to answer the questions from above... Keep in mind that these are based on wearing the toy in "normal" circumstances. Walking, sitting/standing, and maybe a little jumping up and down, but not vigorous dancing, running on a treadmill, etc.

1) Is it going to fall out?
This is probably the biggest worry I have with these discreet toys. I can't help but imagine a vibrating toy falling out of my skirt or pant leg for all to see. There's no explaining that one away... I have even used a toy or two that has a magnetic holder which attaches to the crotch of you panties, however I found myself worrying that the magnet would fall out instead! That would be easier to explain, although the toy would likely follow the magnet, and I'd be back to suffering that embarrassment. However, I am happy to report that this toy stayed in place nicely! It is small enough and contoured to fit nicely between the labia, snuggling just where it needs to be. You might have a problem if your labia are particularly large or small, but I think for the majority of lady parts, this will work nicely. I would still suggest wearing panties that are a little more substantial...maybe not granny panties, but probably not a thong either!

2) Is it going to stay where it needs to be?
Let's be honest...this toy works best when it is snuggled right up to the clitoris. Nobody wants it migrating backward, rudely teasing your back door without asking permission first. Well, maybe some would like that, but I'm sure not all of us. Once again, I'm happy to report there was no migrating with normal activity. Everything stayed nicely in place, buzzing me just right.

3) Is it going to be obvious that I'm wearing it?
As I mentioned before, this toy snuggles nicely between the labia and actually has quite a low profile with panties on. I'd say it would be pretty much completely hidden with a pair of shorts on. Yoga pants or a swimsuit might be taking a chance to show the world your business!

4) Is it going to be too loud to be in public?
The noise was very quiet. It can be heard by someone sitting right next to you if the room is quiet and they know what they're listening for, but you'd be safe pretty much anywhere else. Movies, a party with music playing, etc, you're fine! Dinner with the in-laws filled with uncomfortable silence...maybe not so much.
