Lovense Ferri: my connected magnetic panty vibrator

The Lovense Ferri, a magnetic panty vibrator

The Lovense Ferri is a small magnetic panty vibrator, controlled by app. It's about 7.4 cm long, just under 3 cm wide and weighs 35 grams. The body is made of soft silicone and ABS plastic. The top has ridges that focus the vibrations on a precise spot.

It doesn't rely on a strap. A removable magnetic cap goes on the other side of the fabric and holds it in place magnetically. It stays put when I walk, sit down or lie down.

What the Ferri makes me feel

At rest, I almost forget it's there. Then the vibration comes without warning, dull or sharper, and it decides for me. The device is small, but once it's running it won't let itself be forgotten.

What unsettles me most isn't the power. It's the waiting: not knowing when the next level will come, or how long it will last. Under latex or behind the gas mask, when my breathing is already restricted, every vibration brings me back to my condition. 

How I use this connected vibrator

The Ferri connects via Bluetooth to the Lovense app. It can be used nearby or over very long distances. The device offers a few built-in programs and three intensity levels. The app also lets you create and chain your own patterns. On the device itself, there's just one button: a long press to turn it on, a short press to change the rhythm.

For me, the point is to hand the app over to someone else. I wear the Ferri, but I don't control it. 

As for battery life, it lasts a little over three hours of vibration. On standby, it can stay on for around a hundred hours, which means it can be worn for a long time before someone triggers it.

Care and charging

The Ferri is waterproof (IPX7 rating). I wash it in lukewarm water with a mild, neutral soap, then let it dry. It must never be boiled.

Charging is done with a magnetic USB cable and takes about an hour. The red light stays on while charging and turns off when the battery is full. If the light doesn't come on, just flip the connector.
