Lovense Review: Ranking Lovense Toys from Best to Worst
The toys built by Singapore-based Lovense are, by this point in time, well-known and justly renowned among sex toy enthusiasts.
Widely beloved for their consistent Bluetooth connections, strong motors and powerful app that makes webcam interactivity not just possible but so easy as to make it a major selling point for webcam models that use them, Lovense toys are heavily featured in videos on major websites including PornHub, OnlyFans and many others.
But do all of them live up to the standards of their fans? And if not, which ones are the best and which are the rest?
Lush 3: The Latest Generation of a Legend
Since its origin in 2016, the Lovense Lush has made itself practically a necessary accessory to any sex webcam model.
Its app control features, originally designed to make it controllable by a lover across the room, across the country or across the planet, have been refined into a design that easily allows anyone who’s interested to become a webcam model.
Sized for insertable play and quiet enough to wear in public, Lush 3 became a necessity, with new versions showing up every few years.
Lush 3 is the third-generation revision of the famous toy. It’s a popular sensation for cam work and public play, making it a no longer surprising match for many people’s toy needs.
It’s moved from a relatively niche, performer-centric toy to a toybox staple for lots of sex toy friendly bedrooms.
It’s no coincidence that Lush is practically synonymous with Lovense, even over their original Nora and Max toys.
Pros
- You know exactly what it is.
- You’re going to get off.
Cons
- None. Pretty much the best thing to ever work inside you.
Max 2: Very Little has Changed.
Lovense’s premier men’s toy.
Max is not only the first men’s toy and one of the first two toys Lovense ever produced back in 2013, but it’s also one of the best designs ever for a stroker cup-based masturbator.
With its online connectivity, either through the app or a linked Nora toy, Max is a natural match for hot and heavy long-distance bedroom sessions.
Unlike Lush, though, Max is rather obviously not for public play unless you’re at a party. It’s a big canister device that goes over your cock, giving very little question what it’s truly for.
With the limitations of being a very obvious toy, Max is also a lot of fun and you can find lots of videos on PornHub and other places affirming how much fun it is to use.
You’ll be very pleased with it, either alone or with your favorite long-distance lover to share it with.
Pros
- The oldest male toy by Lovense, with a generational update
- Strong motors mean you know what you’re getting, and you’ll get it fast.
Cons
- Not for public play, period.
Nora: Don’t Mess with Perfection.
The distaff counterpart to Max 2, and one of Lovense’s only long-standing toys that hasn’t had (or needed) any updates since the line started back in 2013.
Nora’s app-controlled rabbit vibe design is timeless, and its popularity endures with sound activation, music sync, or long-distance control.
With 3.5 to 4 hours of power and body-safe materials, Nora is the perfect toy for beginners to Lovense.
The only downsides are that it’s a very big toy, and the Bluetooth connection is a little glitchy.
Pros
- Rabbit vibe form factor is familiar and popular.
- Thrusting and independent vibrators are powerful.
Cons
- Slightly glitchy connectivity.
- No updates since release means it’s a little behind the curve of Lovense’s most recent options.
Tenera Sucks in a Good Way
The new genre of clit-sucker toys is an attempt to do for women what pocket pussies do for men: Create the sensation of suction on the glans of the clitoris, to simulate the feeling of oral sex.
Tenera is one of the smartest suckers on the market, giving you some amazing sensations with very little difficulty in getting off with it.
It’s power-packed and app-controlled, with up to 5,000 air pulses per minute. Absolutely, completely mind-blowing, with a unique experience even in the genre.
Not one of Lovense’s best-known toys, but one of the best, with an incredibly discreet and compact form factor.
Pros
- Discreet and compact
- Suction gives its competitors a run for their money.
- 5,000 pulses per minute is amazing.
Cons
- Not as versatile as some Lovense toys.
Hush 2: Truly Discreet Men’s Toy
Hush 2 is one of the best choices in Lovense’s arsenal for an insertable toy for men, unless the man in question is flexible enough back there to be able to take a Lush 3 (see that toy’s description).
If you’re in the mood for a male toy that’s powerful enough and quiet enough to make discreet play in public a true option, Hush 2 is one of your only bets.
There are only two caveats: First, because it’s a butt plug and not a prostate massager, it’s harder to get the vibrations where they truly need to be to get a man off in public.
The second one is that the Hush 2 is a little bit of a stiff butt plug, making it harder to insert than a solid one. Still, if you’re into public play, it’s the best choice you have as a man.
Pros
- A truly discreet, male-oriented sex toy.
- Anal vibrations are very rumbly indeed.
Cons
- A little bit stiffer than a solid butt plug, which can make it harder to insert.
- Not as efficient at hitting the prostate as the Edge 2.
Sex Machine: Does Exactly What It Says on The Tin.
The Lovense sex machine is completely obvious, and that’s part of what makes it great. There’s nothing subtle about it at all, it’s just there to give you a good time.
When you set it up, you’re just getting into it to get fucked, and that’s all there is about it.
It’s one of the best toys like it on the market, and for the premium price you’ll pay for it, it’s appropriately well-built, heavy, and durable.
You’re going to make this one of the centerpieces of your playroom, that’s all there is to it. Unlike some of Lovense’s other toys, this one doesn’t get penalized for not being publicly useable.
If you have a sex machine, you’re not using it for naughty adventures in public to begin with.
Pros
- One of the top sex machines on the market
- A premium device with optional two-user setup
- Big and heavy gives it great stability
Cons
- It’s EXPENSIVE.
- And HEAVY.
- Seriously, this thing is gigantic. You’d better have a closet to hide it in when it’s not in use.
Flexer is Great but Not Without Downsides
Very similar to the Lush with an added come-hither movement and external finger to make it work, Flexer is absolutely tons of fun with an incredibly rumbly vibration that gets you going.
Does it have a drawback? Well according to our testers, it has a few.
First, unlike the whisper-quiet Lush 3, this toy has some pretty significant sonic signature, so if you’ve got some fantasies about playing with this in public, unless your idea is to have an orgasm at Yankee Stadium, you’re not going to go unnoticed.
Also, Flexer has a looser fit than Lush 3, so despite its marketing as a panty vibrator, it’s not a toy that’s going to be easily used outside of the bedroom.
Flexer, overall, is a great toy option, but not one that fits its advertised niche.
Pros
- Come-hither motion really pushes the inner arm into the g-spot.
- Very strong motors
Cons
- Can slip out.
- Not for use in public.
- Some users report the flexing motor is a structural weak point.
