Oh Zone > Blogs > Sex Toy Reviews > A New Challenger Approaches – Lovense; Hit or Miss?

If you’re stepping foot in any of our Oh!Zone stores in the coming weeks, you’ll be sure to notice a new family of toys gracing our shelves, and whether you’ve heard of them or not, they’ll be sure to pique your interest in one way or another. Introducing Lovense, a company who, since 2010, has been taking the internet by storm. If you’re active on camsites, you’ll already be well familiar with Lovense’s line, namely, and most popularly, the Lush/Lush 2, a favourite among streamers, pornstars, SW’s, and the like! In this article, I’ll run you through the Lovense toys we stock, their pros & cons, and some comparables, so you can see what’s right for you, and how you can expect to enjoy these toys!

Before I go into toy specifics, I would be remiss if I didn’t at least point out some overarching features of Lovense toys that apply to everything we’ll be discussing today. First off, and probably most obviously, there are some direct (and justified) comparisons made to We-Vibe. Lush, their most popular toy, is very similar in functionality & appearance to We-Vibe’s Jive, the Hush & Edge plugs draw likeness to We-Vibe’s Ditto & Vector respectively. The Domi is similar in construction to the Wand from We-Vibe, and the Osci is very similar to the Rave. It should obviously be mentioned that these toys share similarities as they are general popular toy shapes – but the comparisons aren’t just superficial – the Lovense line, similar to the We-Vibe line flaunt some pretty impressive teledildonic technology. International connection, P2P interaction, vibration customisation, and remote play, to name a few. Obviously, neither company created the concept of long distance toys, but the comparisons cannot be ignored. As this article progresses, the comparisons you’ll see from toy to toy will heavily feature We-Vibe toys, but I want to make it clear I’m not accusing any company of copying another. Each company does their own thing very well, and it’s up to you, the consumer, to make your own decision about what toy you think will be best for you!

 

Now, for the toys.

 

Lush/Lush 2

Strong out of the gate, we’ll start with the Lush/Lush 2 of international internet fame. The Lush 2, their updated version of the Lush, is not your regular egg vibrator. Soft, supple silicone, a powerful motor, and impressive phone/computer connection, the Lush set of toys became a favourite of many in the camming community. The integration with streaming sites, and a simple interface, lent itself to be an easy pick-up for cam models wanting a higher level of interactivity with their audience. 

 

Pros:

  • Powerful, Quiet Motor
  • Waterproof
  • Streaming/Camming Integration

 

Cons:

  • Internal Stimulation Only
  • Unable to be Used During Sex
  • No Colour Options (pink is fine… I guess…)

 

Comparables:

  • Jive by We-Vibe
  • Bloom by We-Vibe
  • Esca2 by Kiiroo

 

Overall, the Lush is set to be a bestseller. Powerful, and at a competitive price point, this toy is bound to be a favourite for all who try it, in particular SW’s & cam models!

 

Nora

Rabbit, anyone? The Nora, as with the aforementioned Lush 2, is not your regular rabbit vibrator. With a rotating head, powerful vibrations, and again, some particularly impressive teledildonic capabilities, the Nora will be a fan favourite for sure. Similar to the technology in the Pearl & Fuse from Kiiroo, a separate toy can be controlled by the speed of the thrusts of the Nora! Touting the same cam & app connectivity as the Lush, this is the rabbit toy cammers have been dreaming of! The internal arm of the toy rotates – yes, rotates – for levels of stimulation you’ve never experienced. Using similar technology as the Revo line from Nexus, and the Rotating Rabbit from Rabbit Co., this toy doesn’t skimp on power in any aspect of the toy.

 

Pros:

  • Intensely Powerful Clit Arm
  • Rotating Internal Head
  • Waterproof
  • Streaming/Camming Integration

 

Cons:

  • No Internal Vibration Motor
  • Simple controls (Cycle settings only – can’t just go back to a previous setting)

 

Comparables:

  • Nova by We-Vibe
  • Fuse by Kiiroo
  • Rotating Rabbit by Rabbit Co.

 

I believe that the Nora is one of the more underappreciated toys from Lovense; but I also don’t think that it necessarily beats out too much of the competition in the rabbit market. It is sure to be loved by the people who do buy it, but getting people there might be the harder part.

 

Max 2

Something for the dicks. Introducing the Max 2, a very technologically advanced masturbator for all of our Penis-Havers in the audience. We’ve all seen masturbators before. Fleshlights, Tengas, Svakoms, etc. They’re fun! Some of them vibrate; but from what I can tell, none of them compress. Yes, you read correct; the Max 2 compresses around the penis for that extra bit of tightness. The only thing similar, to my understanding, is the Kiiroo Onyx, with its pleasure rings that compress to replicate thrusting. The Max 2, to my understanding, is a full shaft compression, replicating the clench of Kegel muscles, as would happen during a vaginal orgasm. Pretty impressive stuff! Obviously, the Max 2 vibrates too, because we weren’t spoiled enough. The toy is reportedly a little on the louder side, so maybe wait for the house to be empty, but the toy itself is still a technological marvel.

 

Pros:

  • Compression Settings
  • Powerful Vibrations
  • Phone/VR Connectivity

 

Cons:

  • TPE, not Silicone
  • Loud motors
  • Difficult to clean

 

Comparables:

  • Tenga Flip Zero Vibrating
  • Svakom Alex
  • Kiiroo Onyx

 

The reviews of this toy are the least favourable. Apparently the Max 2 has its fair share of issues, and with the impending release of the ARCWAVE line, (you thought I wouldn’t mention ARCWAVE in this article?) I think Penis-Havers looking for a new experience will take the ARCWAVE route over the Lovense. Only time will tell!

 

Okay, this article is long enough as it is, so for now, I will bid you adieu. Now, now, wipe those tears; I’m not gone for long. There are still 5 more Lovense toys to introduce! Expect a part 2 coming soon, on this very website. In the meantime, why not pop into an Oh!Zone adult store, and familiarise yourself with your future favourite toy. We’ll be waiting for you!

Couples best toy would be we vibe chorus!!!

Oh, the fun with this toy is incredible in the bedroom, out of the bedroom, not in the same room, across the globe the play is endless.
With the ability to connect to the app and then invite a partner you can play from literally anywhere without having to worry about distance at all!

One thing I will say do not just buy the toy you must buy lube even if you don’t think you need it you most defiantly do especially using during intercourse. The toy is silicone so there’s a high risk of pain and dryness during use without lube. We recommend the We-Vibe Lube to pair with this toy, it’s water based and perfect for those who are already in love with Pjur’s Aqua!

Another fantastic toy is the Fun factory Volta now this toy is also a toy you can use for many different play ideas, nipples, clit, around the shaft of the penis and the head or on the balls it’s a rather strange looking little toy but wow packed with so much fun and your clitoris will thank you for this toy. The versatility of this toy should have you jumping up and down with joy, as it does many people and adult store employees alike.

Wicked Lube!!!! Oh My this is by far my favourite the Aqua lasts for ages and absorbs into the skin and leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized its balanced perfectly so it keeps your pH levels in check, I also love there flavoured range I have to say that Pink Lemonade is the perfect flavour for any sweet tooths out there, while their Watermelon flavour is the pick for those who like a bit of a sour twist in there. Salted Caramel is another flavour you really can’t go wrong with, it’s classic and I don’t think I’ve met a person who doesn’t like it.

They also have a Hybrid range, which is 10% silicone and 90% water, which gives you the slip and slide feel of a silicone lube, it’s long lasting and silky. The 90% water makes it perfectly safe to use with toys because it washes off the second you touch it with water. Another benefit to this lube is that it leaves your skin feeling soft and beautifully moisturised.

My next top Lube would be the Pjur range any of there Anal range is fantastic to use has the perfect consistency for Anal also there women range especially the Nude is fabulous for those of us that are sensitive to particular products seeing as there are no harsh ingredients, no parabens, and it’s fragrance free. The Toy Lube is brilliant for those of you allergic to citric acid and is such a creamy consistency it’s amazing .

Intimate Earth also has a beautiful range of organic, vegan, and cruelty free lubes. Their Hydra is Glycerine and Propelyne Glycol free which is very rare in lubes (it’s not always a bad ingredient, but there can be sensitivities), it’s also great at helping with dryness.

Now the newest range to hit the store is Lovense. Lovense sex toys are the top brand for all things app related in sex toys, not only this but they are super sex work friendly and incredibly inclusive in their toys! They have an app built for couples so they can have their long distance sex, or just have a bit of a play while outside with a wearable on, which is awesome -especially the fact that the Nora and Max2 interact with eachother, and you can connect 2 Noras for our lady lovin ladies, and 2 Max2’s together for our man lovin men-. They really have thought of everything, and then they have another app just for the cammers out there, which includes tip based games, and all that fun stuff.

There are so many options out there that there is a good fit for everyone, come into an Oh Zone adult store the best adult shops in Sydney and speak with one of the lovely consultants to find a good fit for you!
