Review: Lovense Lush Mini wearable vibrator

Kate Sloan

Happy new-Lovense-product day to all who celebrate!! 🎉 Lovense launched their newest vibrator today, the Lush Mini. They asked me to be one of the first people to review it, which always makes me feel like a vaginal VIP.

The Lush Mini is the latest iteration in Lovense’s line of Lush vibrators; I’ve previously reviewed the Lush 3 and Lush 4, so I was intrigued to see a slightly smaller version being released. These are G-spot vibes, meant to be “worn” vaginally: the bulbous internal arm presses against your G-spot while the slimmer external arm stays outside the body, on your clit.

They’re bulkier than something like a We-Vibe, so I wouldn’t recommend wearing one during penetrative sex, unless you adore feeling overstuffed! They don’t transmit much clitoral stimulation in the way that We-Vibes and Lovense’s own Dolce do – they’re all about G-spot stimulation. (They also lack a flared base, so they’re not anal-safe; get an Edge 2 if you want to experience Lovense’s amazing vibrations on your prostate.)

So, how different is the Lush Mini from its predecessors, and is it worth upgrading if you’ve already got a Lush? Let’s get into it!

Top row: Lovense Lush 4 (L) and Lush 3 (R). Bottom row: Lush Mini.

As you can see, the main difference is size: the Lush Mini is 6 millimeters slimmer than the other Lushes (that’s about a quarter-inch). Accordingly, it’s 23% lighter, and its battery doesn’t last quite as long. It’s priced the same as the Lush 4.

Here are some things that are true of all three Lushes:

  • All of them are IPX7 waterproof, so you can get them wet and even submerge them in water without issue.
  • All of them can be controlled either via a button on the toy itself, or via Lovense’s app.
  • All of them are made of silicone and electroplated plastic.
  • All three vibes seem to use the same motor; they feel equally powerful and rumbly.
L to R: Lush Mini, Lush 4, and Lush 3

Things I like about the Lush Mini:

  • The quarter-inch difference in width between the Lush Mini and its predecessors may seem minor, but it makes a noticeable difference. I think a lot of users would prefer the smaller size, because it’s easier to insert even when you’re only mildly-to-moderately turned on (ideally with water-based lube!), whereas a larger Lush might require a bit more warm-up first for some users. I also find the Lush Mini more comfortable for long-term wear due to its smaller size, so I think it’s the better pick for surreptitious public-play scenes, especially hours-long ones.
  • This toy’s vibrations are every bit as wonderful as I’ve come to expect all Lovense vibes to be. They’re deliciously rumbly, and have an impressively wide range of intensities which you can customize quite precisely using the Lovense app.
  • Speaking of the app: I always sing the praises of Lovense’s Bluetooth functionality every time I review one of their products, but they really are doing the app-control thing better than any other sex toy company right now, IMO. Connecting a toy to their app is quick, easy, and intuitive. The app allows you to program your own vibration patterns or try someone else’s, control the vibe yourself or invite a long-distance partner to do so, and sync the vibrations to music or other sounds, among a cornucopia of other features. The vibrations respond quickly and seamlessly to my ministrations in the app. The whole interface is thoughtfully designed and encourages playful experimentation.
  • The Lush Mini’s neck is a bit shorter and possibly more rigid than the necks of previous Lushes, which allows it to maintain slightly firmer pressure against my G-spot during use, and helps keep it from sliding around. Once it’s on my spot, it usually stays there, unless I get really wet… which admittedly does sometimes happen, since this toy is prone to making me squirt, hands-free!
  • Interestingly, the external arm of the Lush Mini seems to conduct vibration significantly more than those of the previous Lushes. I still wouldn’t consider this a clitoral vibrator per se (unless you subscribe to the theory that the G-spot is actually just the back of the clit…), but it feels noticeably more pleasurable to me than previous Lush toys because it stimulates my clit more. I still don’t think I could get off from this toy alone, because I tend to need stronger clit vibration than G-spot vibration to reach orgasm, but it gets me a lot closer than any other Lush, and feels better during that process.
  • As with the other Lushes, the Mini’s shape is excellent for hitting the G-spot with minimal effort. The way it juts out to meet your spot is so cool and just feels right.
  • The Lush Mini’s ~4-hour battery life is impressive enough, but even more impressive is its “fast-charging” function: if you plug in the Lush Mini for just 7 minutes, it’ll charge up enough for an hour of play. This is an especially useful quality in a vibe you might want to wear out on a dinner date (or similar) like this one, since it sucks to realize your vibe is dead as you’re leaving the house for an impromptu public sexcapade. Avoid that whole nightmare by plugging in your Lush Mini for 7 minutes while you brush your teeth, style your hair, etc. before your date – easy-peasy.
  • Like most Lovense toys, this one is very quiet and therefore discreet. Love that.

Things I don’t like about the Lush Mini:

  • While the Mini’s smaller internal arm makes it more comfortable for long-term wear, the trade-off is: my orgasms with this toy inside me aren’t as intense as those with previous Lushes, simply because there’s less girth to squeeze around during those climactic muscle contractions. The difference is minor, though.
  • On principle it annoys me slightly that the Mini is priced the same as the Lush 4 ($129) because it seems like a smaller vibe should be cheaper, although realistically I know that the mechanics are largely the same and it probably costs about the same to make.

Final thoughts

There’s a lot to love about the Lush Mini, and I think many shoppers will gravitate toward it, rather than the other Lushes, because of its beginner-friendly petite form factor. It’s easier to insert, requires less warm-up, and is comfier for long-term wear than its predecessors, due to its slimmer silhouette. But the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and the Lush Mini shares tons of fabulous qualities with its older sisters: it’s strong and rumbly, quiet, waterproof, sturdily-built, and has great Bluetooth connectivity and battery life.

G-spot vibration isn’t always my jam, but the Mini’s vibrations are so satisfyingly rumbly that they add significantly to my pleasure no matter what else I’m doing. In one testing session, my partner even went down on me while the Lush Mini was inside me, nudging the external arm to the side so she could get at my clit – and the combo of her mouth with Lovense’s wonderful vibrations led to a breathtaking orgasm (complete with a bit o’ squirt) that left me feeling grateful to have a G-spot. This is the type of nifty sexual creativity that Lovense toys encourage.

If you want a G-spot vibe you can wear in public, or for hours at a time, the Lush Mini is an impeccable choice. Pair it with a Ferri panty vibe if you want more intense clit stimulation. The Lush 4 is still a solid option too, especially if you want something girthier to squeeze around. I don’t think there’s necessarily any reason to upgrade to the Lush Mini if you already own another Lush, unless you think the smaller size or speedier charging would make a big difference for you. But as for first-time users, I think a lot of them will go for the Lush Mini – it’s just so damn cute, useful, and pleasurable!

Review: VVD Vkini vibrating bra

Kate Sloan
By the way, if you want to see more of my tits, here’s a photo set and a video in which they’re prominently featured. Or you could email me to commission some custom content!

How do you feel about your breasts, if you’ve got ’em?

I feel neutral-to-mildly-positive about mine, most days. I don’t feel insecure or self-conscious about them like I did when I was younger (thank fuck!), and I certainly don’t have any dysphoria about them like some of my trans and nonbinary friends have experienced – but I also don’t think about them much, and it doesn’t often occur to me to request breast/nipple stimulation during sex, even though it usually feels good when it does happen. They’re just… not a big part of my self-conception, sexually or otherwise, and never really have been.

Part of the reason for that, I’m sure, is that there aren’t very many breast-centric sex toys (relative to other types)! Maybe I’d be more “in touch with” my boobs, so to speak, if I’d reviewed tits-focused toys in equal proportion to all the clitoral and vaginal toys I’ve tried – but almost all of the breast-y products in my collection are nipple clamps, designed to provoke pain, not pleasure. Don’t get me wrong, I like nipple clamps – but I have to be in a pretty specific mood to want my tits to be tortured.

So you can see why I was intrigued when VVD, makers of the rideable vibrating “sex saddle” I reviewed last year, reached out to tell me they’d created a vibrating bra and wanted me to review it. It’s called the Vkini (cute name!). Let’s talk about it.

What is the VVD Vkini?

VVD describes the Vkini as a “wearable nipple stimulator.” Structurally, it’s similar to a very skimpy bikini top, with adjustable back and arm straps – but instead of breast cups, it’s got spring-like silicone spirals which hold your breasts in place, while the heart-shaped vibrators in the centre of each spiral stimulate your nipples.

While it can be controlled directly via the buttons on the two nipple vibrators, the Vkini also optionally pairs with an app called MetaXSire which allows you to control the toy from nearby or afar. (More on that later.)

Included with the bra itself is two pairs of magnetic attachments, one shaped like little flowers and one shaped like little mouths, complete with tiny silicone tongue. These serve to vary the sensations you can get from the toy.

Attachments

Things I like about the VVD Vkini:

  • First of all, shout-out to VVD for this concept. I genuinely think it’s cool and unique. As I mentioned above, a lot of the breast-focused sex toys on the market are pain-based – think nipple clamps, “tit-tuggers,” and bondage bras – so it’s refreshing to see an entirely pleasure-based product in this category. I think it’s clever the way the spiral-shaped cup holds each tit in place so that the vibrator more-or-less stays put on each nipple.
  • The aesthetic of this product is very up my alley, as a lovecore fanatic! It reminds me of those LoveLife vibrators from back in the day, which I once found too girly-looking but have since come around on, because our world is so full of hatred and division that symbols of love seem more important and subversive than ever. The spirals embedded in this toy’s design also lend it a certain hypnokinky aesthetic; I think it would be particularly adored by those whose hypnosis kink crosses over into ‘bimbo’ play, like my pal Sleepingirl. (Actually… Sleepingirl, if you’re reading this and want me to send you this toy once I’m done with my review, let me know – it should belong to someone like you! 😂)
  • If you control the toy’s vibrations via its buttons, you can flip through 5 speeds and 5 patterns, which is a decent amount of variety. And unlike with most genital vibrators, I found myself actually enjoying the vibration patterns this toy has, because their rhythmic variation feels more like the type of nipple stimulation I like (having them stroked or licked) than standard vibration does. I also like that each nipple vibe can be controlled independently, as this allows for more variety of sensation.
  • If you want even more variation in the vibration intensity, you can download the MetaXSire app on your phone and control it that way. It has many of the functions I’ve come to expect from vibrator apps these days: long-distance control, syncing to music/sound, motion-sensor control, and the ability to try other people’s custom-designed vibration patterns and create some of your own. (Like many other vibrator apps, this one seems to borrow heavily from Lovense’s app in terms of design and functionality, and I don’t love when companies copy other companies, although I have to admit that Lovense has a damn good app so I understand why so many people crib from them.)
  • VVD claims proudly that the Vkini is “crafted for women of all shapes and sizes” (no love for nonbinary people…?!) but then also says it will only comfortably fit “small to medium chest sizes (A-C cups, some D cups).” That being said, my current bra size is approximately 30DD, and the Vkini fit me just fine after adjusting the straps, albeit with a bit of cup-runneth-over. My wife has much smaller breasts (an A cup or thereabouts) and it fit her too – and looked super cute, I might add! However, VVD is right that the Vkini isn’t entirely suitable for people with larger breasts than a D cup, as Sydney Screams describes in their review. Even if your boobs are small, having a wide chest may make it difficult to wear this product, because the length of the short strap between the two cups is barely adjustable.
  • The Vkini is IPX6 water-resistant, so you can use it in the shower (or in the rain… or in a waterfall… hey, I don’t know your life!) but you shouldn’t submerge it in a tub, pool, etc. Normally I prefer my sex toys to be fully waterproof so I can jerk off in the bath if I want to, but it matters less to me for a breast-focused toy because my boobs are usually above the waterline anyway.
  • I appreciate that this toy is priced at $50 (that’s cheaper than many actual bras!), and I think that’s a decent price for what you get: the vibrating bra itself, two sets of attachments, and a storage bag for the whole kit and caboodle.
  • Speaking of the attachments – while I have my issues with them (see below), I like that they’re easy and quick to magnetically attach and detach, and I haven’t had any issues with them falling off or moving around during use.

Things I don’t like about the VVD Vkini:

  • Unfortunately, the vibrations are pretty buzzy, i.e. high-pitched/surface-level, as opposed to deep/rumbly. This doesn’t bother me as much for nipple stim as it does for clit stim, since at least I can still get off if my nipples go numb (by stimulating my clit, as I normally would) – but it does make it hard for me to use this toy for more than 5-10 minutes at a time, after which the buzzy vibrations feel annoying, itchy, and desensitizing to my skin. (I will say, however, that these vibrations are rumblier than those of Lovense’s vibrating nipple clamps, which are so troublingly buzzy that they sometimes felt almost like heart palpitations to me – scary!)
  • On a similar note: the vibrations seem to be focused in the outer-facing part of the bra, not the part that actually touches your nipples. When I tried out the Vkini’s magnetic attachments, I found that very little of the vibration was conducted into them; the sensation was significantly dulled compared to using the toy without attachments. As a result, I wasn’t able to notice much of a difference in sensation when using an attachment vs. not using one, aside from the reduction in vibration strength.
  • It’s mildly annoying that each of the toy’s two motors has to be turned on and off individually and charged individually – although the toy does come with a double-pronged charger to make this more convenient, and many of the modes in the MetaXSire app allow you to control both vibes at once, after you’ve turned them both on.
  • Speaking of the MetaXSire app – it has a bunch of weird A.I.-porn functionalities built into it, which you have to pay extra for, in the form of “X-Coins” which can then be spent on things like A.I. image generation and text generation. There’s even a feature where you can clone your own voice (😬) and have it say whatever dirty talk you type in. Weirder still, there’s a bank of pre-existing A.I. voices that can talk dirty to you, including celebrity voices such as Matthew McConaughey, Lady Gaga, Anthony Hopkins, Demi Lovato, and… “King Trumpy,” a.k.a. the authoritarian sex-pest currently in the White House (YIKES!!). All of this feels unnecessary and off-putting, for reasons that myself and various anti-A.I. thinkers have previously articulated.
  • While the wearability and Bluetooth-controllability of the Vkini might lead you to believe it’d be a good toy for surreptitious public play, I think it would be EXTREMELY obvious under pretty much any kind of clothing. I’d wear it to a fetish party, maybe, but certainly not to the bank or the grocery store, etc.!

Final thoughts

If you’ve been looking for an easy, hands-free way to experience nipple vibration, I think the VVD Vkini would be an awesome choice for you, provided your boobs are within the A–D cup range. It’s a super inventive (not to mention cute-as-fuck!) product for targeted nipple stimulation.

Personally, I’d prefer if the vibrations were quite a bit rumblier, and transmitted better into my actual nipples instead of just buzzing dully on the surface of my skin. But this is the type of toy that’s probably best as a deliciously torturous tease, rather than a grand finale, so maybe it’s okay that it doesn’t entirely satisfy 😉 I especially think a toy like the Vkini would be fun for people who like long-distance teasing, since you can control the vibrations from afar using the app. Just imagine trying to carry on a normal conversation with someone while they intermittently surprise you with little buzzes, Hysterical Literature-style!

If you’re considering picking up a Vkini of your own, you can use my discount code GIRLY at checkout to get $5 off, which brings the price down to $45. That’s less than you’d spend on a new bra at Victoria’s Secret, and those don’t even vibrate. 😂

Review: Sohimi Viele dual-stimulation vibrator

Kate Sloan

Imagine, if you will, going to bed with a cute person, who kisses you deeply, grinds against you slowly, and – whips out a deck of cards and starts doing magic tricks.

“Pick a card, any card,” they patter away, brandishing the spread deck at you – as they kiss their way down your body, toward your junk.

Now, surely this is some people’s fantasy… and seeing as I married an erstwhile magician myself, I might even sometimes count myself among those people… but the point still stands: attempting to multi-task in bed is not always the wisest move. It can very well lead to confusion, disappointment, and accidentally getting jizz all over your pricey trick cards from the local magic shop.

All this to say: I admire the ambition behind Sohimi’s Viele dual-stimulation toy, which licks and sucks and vibrates and flaps – but I think the toy would’ve been better if it’d had fewer tricks up its sleeve. Let me tell you about it.

Things I like about the Sohimi Viele:

  • I’ve tried a lot of oral sex simulators over the years, and this one is pretty closely aligned with my own cunnilingual preferences – rare! The Viele’s “mouth” is quite top-heavy, with a thick upper lip that moves up and down in a not-quite-sucking motion (it’s more like kissing, since there’s never enough of a seal formed for it to generate suction). This works well for me; when receiving head I tend to favor a soft sucking technique over direct licking, because the tip of my clit is too damn sensitive for that – and the design and motion of the Viele’s mouth make it one of the closest things I’ve found to that sensation in a sex toy. Don’t forget to apply water-based lube generously to any oral-esque sex toy before using it! (Incidentally, Sohimi might be the best online sex toy shop for cunnilingus enthusiasts – they have more “suck vibrators” and licking toys than you can shake a clit at, many of which I have reviewed here before!)
  • While each function of the toy has 5-7 presets, you can vary their settings much more precisely by connecting your toy to the Joyhub app via Bluetooth. This was easy and quick to set up on my iPhone. Navigate to “DIY” mode and you’ll be able to individually control each of the toy’s functions using a slider. The app also lets you invite a far-away partner to control your toy, and to sync up your toy with games or videos. I’m glad to see more toy companies offering Bluetooth-controllability via app, especially toys at a lower price point like this one ($39!), especially since long-distance play has soared in popularity these last few years.
  • The low price is worth its own bullet point, because it’s rare to find a rechargeable dual-stim (or triple-stim) vibe as inexpensive as this. There’s a reason for that, though, as the next section will illustrate…

Things I don’t like about the Sohimi Viele:

  • Like many other mechanical mouths I have tried, the Viele’s mouth slows down significantly when it encounters any pressure – and I do tend to want to apply pressure with it, because it applies almost none on its own: it’s more like gentle kissing than sucking. As such, it’s an enjoyable tease at best, and when I do manage to come from it, the orgasms are underwhelming and unsatisfying.
  • The movement of the mouth is also inexorably paired with buzzyish vibration. It’s not terrible, but it dims my clitoral sensitivity over the course of a session, which – again – makes for some mediocre orgasms.
  • The shaft of the toy contains a hollow cut-out, in which there is a long noodle-shaped piece of silicone that flaps back and forth at high speeds when the “flapping” function is engaged. At low-to-medium settings, this feels a bit like some G-spot vibrators I have enjoyed, albeit much weaker… but the sensation is so subtle that it’s immediately drowned out when I turn on any of the toy’s other functions. It also seems to slow down significantly with pressure, like, y’know, my vag muscles squeezing as I become aroused…
  • I also find that the flapping function sometimes produces a queefy, trapped-air feeling in my vag when used at high speeds, which is not a turn-on for me, to say the least… and the hollow cut-out in the toy is difficult to clean.
  • The shaft also vibrates, but the vibration is so buzzy and “blah” that I rarely used it, since it generally just made my vag feel a bit tingly/itchy and then slightly numb, as tends to happen with buzzy vibration.
  • This is quite a loud toy, especially when all three functions (mouth + flapping + vibration) are engaged at once. It can definitely be heard through a closed door.
  • There’s no good way to use the toy’s “mouth” on its own, as “foreplay” for using the toy penetratively. This annoys me on principle.
  • It’s not waterproof – and even if it were, I’d probably never use it in the bath anyway because the very presence of water would probably provide enough resistance to slow the toy down substantially.

Final thoughts

It’s rare that a sex toy feels like a downgrade from jerking off by hand, like in olden times – but the Sohimi Viele falls into that category for me, unfortunately! Its mechanics are too weak to stand up to pressure, and so the orgasms it produces are weak, too.

I wrote in my testing notes, “Sure, I came, but at what cost?” – which, to be fair, is also probably what I’d say if that magician got me off and then pulled a Queen of Hearts out of my cunt and said “Is this your card?!” Sadly, with the Viele, I’m just not feelin’ the magic.

6 hot ways to use the Hole Punch Fluke (which is on sale right now!!)

Kate Sloan

The Hole Punch Fluke is one of my all-time favorite sex toys. In fact, if you told me I was being banished to a desert island and could only take 5 toys with me (you sadistic monster!), here’s what I’d bring, assuming said island had power outlets…

  1. The Eroscillator Top Deluxe, for the best and most consistent clitoral orgasms.
  2. The Magic Wand Rechargeable, for pleasuring all kinds of genitals and massaging sore muscles (actually, maybe the Waterproof would be better for the desert island lifestyle…).
  3. The Fucking Sculptures Double Trouble, because if I have to be marooned at sea then I might as well be able to fuck the shit out of my A-spot and come really hard.
  4. The Njoy Pure Wand, because it’s a G-spot whisperer and reliably induces squirting, which would make it useful for tension relief while I’m stressed out of my mind, foraging to survive on an island. (Am I taking this question too literally?!)
  5. …and finally, the almighty Hole Punch Fluke. Nothing else in my collection is quite like it.

I noticed recently that the Fluke is on clearance sale at SheVibe, currently marked down from $67 to $54 – so it felt like a good time to tell you about some of the many ways you can use this wonderful toy, since I want to tempt as many people as possible to add one to their collection! It really is that good. This deal won’t last, so I highly suggest picking one up while you can! Here are some things you can do with it…

1. Wear it vaginally during masturbation. I often joke that the Fluke is a great toy for lazy masturbators, which is true – once inserted, it presses firmly against my G-spot with zero effort on my part, so there’s no need to bother with thrusting. That being said, laziness isn’t the only reason someone might want a toy like this – folks with disabilities or chronic pain, like myself, might also find the Fluke useful. On a bad flare-up day, I hate having to decide between honoring my body’s limits and stroking the fuck outta my G-spot – and with the Fluke, I don’t have to choose. It significantly intensifies my solo orgasms without me having to do much of anything.

2. Wear it anally during masturbation. Yep, you can do that too! I don’t use my Fluke anally because its 2″ diameter exceeds my current anal ambitions, but its flared head is so perf for G-spot stimulation that I have to assume it’d hit the prostate equally well – or, less directly, the G-spot through the vaginal wall.

3. Wear it while receiving oral sex. Quite possibly my favorite usage! Coordinating oral sex with fingerbanging can be tricky for even the deftest casanovas, but when the Fluke is inserted, it handles the internal stimulation so my partner can focus fully on external stimulation. This makes it a lot easier for me to reach orgasm from oral, which can otherwise be elusive for me – and the orgasms are extra intense because the Fluke presses so firmly against my G-spot. Once in a while, it even makes me squirt, hands-free!

4. Wear it for a while as warm-up. Sometimes my partner will have me insert a plug like the Fluke, either vaginally or anally, an hour or so before sex. It’s not the most comfortable choice for long-term wear, so I wouldn’t recommend it for public play, especially if you’ll be walking around – but it can be fun to slip it in before watching some porn together or somesuch, and it may help relax your hole enough to make any subsequent penetration easier/comfier.

5. Wear it during a spanking or other sadomasochistic scene. Due to subspace and other factors, I’m not always consciously aware of how turned on I’m getting during a spanking unless someone points it out to me – and similarly, the Fluke’s presence makes me achingly aware of each time my cunt clenches in arousal, which helps build more arousal, like a horny feedback loop. Plus it probably looks hot from my partner’s perspective…

6. Wear it as part of a chastity or denial roleplay. While this isn’t necessarily my jam (at least not as a bottom/sub), I can see how it could be fun to use the Fluke as a sort of barricade to your vag or butt – preventing you from getting fucked there and/or denying someone else the ability to fuck you there. The toy itself is still plenty stimulating though, as we’ve discussed, so it’s not like you’re being denied that much – it’s more about the psychological experience of it. Actually, I bet some people could even come hands-free just from squeezing around the Fluke, if they really put their mind to it!

Well, I know what toy I’ll be using tonight… If I’ve piqued your interest, here’s the link to go get a Fluke of your own at a deliciously discounted price! I’ve recommended this fantastic toy to countless people over the years, and that’s no fluke. 😉

Review: Lovense Domi 2 mini wand vibrator

Kate Sloan

What is the Lovense Domi 2?

While best known for their wearable toys, like the Lush 4 G-spot vibe and Edge 2 vibrating butt plug, Lovense has expanded their range massively to include just about every major category of toy – so, of course, they had to make a wand, and that wand is the Domi.

The Domi is a petite wand, comparable in size to the Magic Wand Mini. It’s rechargeable and lasts up to 6 hours on a charge. Like Lovense’s other toys, this one can be controlled remotely (by you or by someone else) via the Lovense app. The Domi currently retails for $119.

Things I like about the Lovense Domi 2:

  • This is an impressively strong little wand! And it’s pretty damn rumbly for the lowest third(-ish) of its power range, after which it starts to get progressively buzzier. In my experience, a lot of wand users like some buzziness with their rumbliness, though, especially on the higher end. Personally, I prefer rumbly, so I try to stay within the lower range of intensities when using this toy so I don’t get overstimulated or numbed out from the buzziness – but I like that it offers such a wide range in terms of not only vibration strength but also vibration timbre.
  • The Lovense app opens up basically infinite possibilities for customizing your experience with this toy (and most other Lovense toys, too): You can control the vibration speed with greater precision than via the toy’s own buttons, create your own vibration patterns or try other people’s creations, sync the vibrations up to music or sound, etc. There are lots of more minor settings you can change too – like I was able to turn off the blinking red light on the toy’s control panel, which I constantly mistook for a low-battery warning, by unchecking “enable LED” in the Domi’s settings. Yay!
  • I think this wand’s size and shape will work well for a huge range of users. I find it easy to hold and maneuver around, even with my achy hands/arms – especially because of the thoughtful finger indentations on the sides of the handle. The wand’s smallish head allows it to target a clit or the head of a dick with ease. The Domi is also way more travel-friendly than a full-size wand, making it suitable for long-distance couples in more ways than one.
  • I like the Domi’s buttons a lot. They’re simple, but well-executed: the “up” button is slightly bigger and more raised than the “down” button, so once you’re accustomed to them, you can find them easily without even looking at the control panel. Kudos.
  • Could be a pro or a con, depending on your preferences: The Domi’s neck is very flexible, so you can press the wand’s head decently hard against your body without fear of snapping the neck. If you like applying a lot of pressure against your bits, however, you might find the flexible neck annoying because it doesn’t allow for that.
  • It’s absolutely wild for a wand to have a battery life of 5-6 hours like this one does! (For reference, the Magic Wand Mini runs for 2 and a half hours on a full charge; the rechargeable Doxy Die Cast 3R mini wand runs for only an hour.)

Things I don’t like about the Lovense Domi 2:

  • Lovense makes a couple of optional attachments for the Domi: the “Male” attachment, which is made to stimulate the penis and prostate, and the “Female” attachment, which is made for clitoral and G-spot stimulation. While these attachments are cool and add a lot of functionality to the toy, I wish they were named something less cissexist, since trans and nonbinary people exist and it’s 2025. I also wish they were included with the wand itself, rather than costing an additional $18–25 each, since the wand alone is already a bit pricier at $119 than some other wands of comparable size and quality (for instance, Lovehoney’s rechargeable mini wand goes for $60, Doxy’s goes for $70, and the Magic Wand Mini is $100).
  • I’m so used to controlling wand vibes via their own buttons that it feels unnatural and unnecessary most of the time to connect the Domi to my phone and operate it via the Lovense app… but, if you control it solely via its buttons, you only get 3 steady vibration speeds to choose from, with big jumps in intensity between each, and then it goes into vibration patterns. I find this irritating; 6-8 different steady speeds is the minimum I’d hope for. I don’t want to have to pull out my phone every time I jerk off, especially since touchscreens are hard to operate with lubey hands.
  • This is a fairly loud vibe (as is common for wands), and the sound can be somewhat shrill and annoying. It’s not terrible but I definitely prefer to drown it out with some white noise on the stereo when I use this toy.
  • This wand isn’t fully waterproof, only IPX6 water-resistant, meaning it’s fine to wash it in the sink or use it in the shower but you shouldn’t submerge it. As an occasional bathtub masturbator, I find this a tad bit disappointing.

Final thoughts

Lovense is one of the most reliable companies making sex toys right now, if you ask me. I’ve loved many of their previous products, due primarily to their fantastic motors and excellent Bluetooth functionality – and the Domi 2 is no exception.

For myself personally, I tend to reach for wands that are easier to control via their own built-in buttons, so it’s not ideal for me that the Domi requires you to connect it to your phone to access its full range of settings. I also wish it were waterproof and quieter.

But overall I think the Domi 2 is a really solid option for anyone seeking a mini wand that boasts significant power, especially if you have a long-distance sexual connection in your life (or would like to, at some point). It’s not often that I have occasion to recommend a long-distance-compatible wand vibe, but this is the one to get, if you’re looking to get one!
