As a sex writer, people often ask me for vibrator recommendations. Being the friendly sexpert I am, I’ll usually ask them a few follow-up questions about their pleasure preferences and then point them to two or three picks I think would be a fit based on what they’re into. But listen, I have a confession to make: vibrators aren’t really my thing.
Sure, I’ve tested out my fair share of them throughout my years as a sex expert—and don’t get me wrong, I am very pro-sex toy in general. It’s just that, personally, I usually masturbate in such a specific way that I don’t find vibrators to be necessary or even particularly useful. Intrigued? Allow me to explain.
Usually what I do is lie on my stomach, maneuver a portion of my bed sheets together until it forms a decent shape, and then grind on it until I come. Even then, my underwear always stays on because my clitoris is so sensitive there needs to be some kind of thin barrier between my skin and the sheets or the sensation feels too strong.
So you see my dilemma? Because of my super specific masturbation habits, vibrators that suit my needs are hard to come by—or at least that was the case, until recently.
Meet the Lovense Lush 3: a Bluetooth-controlled, teledildonic, wearable vibrator (more details on that coming up) that can be used for long-distance play, kinky public play, or a solo session in the privacy of your bedroom.
Aside from those features, one of the coolest aspects of the Lush 3 that sets it apart from many other other internal vibes is its unique egg-like shape. If you’re new to the concept of egg vibrators, don’t fret. They’re not as common as the typical phallic-shaped vibrators you might imagine when thinking about sex toys.
Egg vibrators might not be the most common type of sex toy, but they offer several advantages, including comfort and accessibility. “Their design makes them easier to hold and maneuver, providing greater control and support,” says Philadelphia-based sex therapist, Debbie Diep, MFT. “These vibrators can also allow for targeted stimulation of specific areas.”
Combined with the wearable aspect of the Lovense Lush, this type of vibe is super versatile and great for all types of play—including, yes, my own somewhat unique self-pleasure practices. Here’s everything to know about the vibrator that literally changed my masturbation game.
How Does the Lush Vibrator Work?
Okay, so I know I threw a lot of potentially ???-inducing words at you, namely “teledildonic.” Which…may sound kind of intimidating, I know! But have no fear, teledildonics are essentially just high-tech sex toys that offer internet-connected features. Anytime you hear someone talking about app-connected, long distance, or remote-controlled vibrators, that’s teledildonics, baby! In the case of the Lush 3, you (or a partner—more on that later) can control it remotely via the Lovense app. In addition to the remote-control aspect, the app also offers tons of other high-tech features to enhance your play.
As for the logistics of the toy itself, the Lush 3 is specifically a G-spot vibrator (or rather, G-region, now that we realize the G “spot” is more like an area within the vagina’s internal clitoral framework rather than a specific spot).
Wearing the vibrator, the internal egg part is inserted into the vagina while the slender tail rests against your clitoris. That said, I will note that the tail only produces subtle vibrations, so if you’re seeking major clit stim, then the Lush 3 probably isn’t for you (and, ahem, you should absolutely check out some other options here). But if you’re like me and don’t need much clitoral vibration, then the light touch of the Lush is ideal.
Trying Out the Lush 3 Vibrator
You may be wondering how the Lush 3 fits into those super specific masturbation habits I mentioned before. Here’s how I use it most of the time.
Instead of lying on my back and inserting the internal part inside my vagina while leaving the tail on my clit, I’ll usually lie on my stomach and grind on the egg part of the vibrator, leaving the tail to casually rest against my butt cheeks. Basically, I use it backwards (listen, there are no rules!). This way, I get the grinding action I crave, plus additional vibrations that spread to my labia and vaginal opening.
But, in the interest of providing a thorough review, rest assured that I did also try the vibe the way it was designed to be used—lying on my back and inserting it inside me. Honestly, despite being a departure from my usual move, I genuinely found it pleasurable! The Lush is known for offering ultra powerful internal vibrations (hence why it made Cosmo’s list of the most powerful vibes out there), and this baby did not disappoint. The toy has a blend of rumbly and buzzy vibes. Personally, I prefer rumbly, but I still appreciated the option of both sensations.
Using the Lush Long-Distance
As previously mentioned, while you can use the Lush for solo play, it can also be remote-controlled by a partner (whether in-person or long-distance) via the Lovense app. Yes, this is the part where all those teledildonics come into play.
I’ll admit, I was initially skeptical re: the practicality of the long distance of it all. But, based on personal experience, I can happily say it works! As long as both people have a stable internet connection and Bluetooth, you’re good to go. This feature was a huge plus for me as someone who travels a lot. With the Lush 3, I can find ways to have a fulfilling sex life with a lover from afar, even if he lives in a different country.
To connect with a partner, first make sure you’ve both downloaded the app and created accounts. Then it’s as simple as navigating to the “Long Distance” tab, tapping “+” to add a contact, and adding your partner’s username. When your partner accepts your request and successfully connects to you through the app, you’ll have the option to let them control the vibrations of your toy.
This is where things can easily go from playful to kinky. Once you’ve given your partner control of your toy, you won’t have any ability to control it yourself until you disconnect. I’ve found it super hot to incorporate power play by letting my long-distance lover bring me to orgasm by edging me (in other words, controlling my rumbly vibrations and then stopping them before I come, waiting about 30 seconds, and then re-starting the vibrators again until he decides that he wants me to come).
Oh, and did I forget to mention there’s a video chat option in the control panel too? So yeah, if you’re big on sexting/FaceTime sex/remote sex of any kind, incorporating a long-distance toy is game-changer. Thanks teledildonics!
So, Is the Lush Vibrator Worth It?
If you’re looking for a wearable vibrator with long-distance/remote-control options, then the Lush is a solid choice! As you might imagine, a high-tech vibrator like the Lush 3 is a bit on the pricey side. At time of writing, this toy generally retails somewhere between $130 and $230, depending which retailer you’re shopping with. It’s not what I’d call a cheap vibe, but it’s not as bank-breaking as other super-luxe brands out there. And for the quality, it’s absolutely worth the investment.
That said, as I mentioned before, if you prefer a toy that focuses more on clitoral stimulation, then this vibe might not be ideal for you. (Might I suggest the iconic Tracy’s Dog OG instead?) As for me? Let’s just say I fully understand what all the buzz is about (pun intended) and I can’t wait to see what other ways I can use it. If you need me, my long-distance lover and I will be, uh, experimenting.
