My Lovense Solace Verdict
Having spent six months enjoying the Lovense Solace inside and out, here’s my take. This male sex toy may not be for everyone. With that said, for the right user, it will quite literally blow your mind. If you’re not overly bothered about a bit of noice and a high price tag then the Solace could be the automatic male stroker of your dreams.
I felt that, as I am sure you will, that one of the best things about this sex toy is that you can enjoy a completely hands free orgasm. Having a toy that you can setup, turn on, then sit back is a game changer for male sex toys. The interactive features offered by the Solace are superb. Once you experience syncing an interactive male sex toy with your favorite porn movie your life will never be the same again.
There is an option of sharing control of the toy with your significant other. If you are in a long distance relationship, do not live together, or enjoy webcam models then this feature will change your life for the better.
Would I recommend the Lovense Solace? Absolutely!! I cannot recommend this bad boy enough. If you are wanting an sex toy with interactive features you’ll find that this is where the Solace really shines.
I’ve genuinely had so much fun throughout this Lovense Solace review. If delivers a high level of pleasure that feels remarkably like a woman’s vagina.

About The Lovense Solace
So, first things first with this Lovense Solace review. The first question is obviously – what is the Lovense Solace?
The Solace is an interactive and automatic male sex toy that offers hands free stroking.
If you are looking for the very best experience with this sex toy I would highly recommend that you use the desk mount adapter. This allows you to enjoy a completely hands free experience with the toy. It adds a whole new dimension to what an automatic male masturbator is supposed to be and I cannot recommend this accessory enough.
You can indeed use the Lovense Solace without the desk mount. However, in my experience I found that the toy felt a little on the bulky side. I also felt that having to hold it in place pretty much took away from the hands free claim of the manufacturer.
I found that the Lovense Solace allowed me to have complete control over every aspect of its operation. The user can easily adjust the speed and depth of the stroking. I did find that the depth of the stroking is only adjustable by an few inches but it is nice having this option.

My Experience with the Lovense Solace
When I first began this Lovense Solace review I must confess to feeling a little unsure about the toy. I have long been a fan of the Kiiroo Keon and, in all honesty, I was pretty skeptical as to whether the Solace was capable of coming anywhere close to it.
After a few weeks of playing about with the Solace I ended up with a different opinion. It is indeed a very, very good interactive male sex toy.
I discovered very early on that going overboard with lubrication is the key to enjoying this toy. This was not down to the obvious issue of friction burns on my penis. It was more to do with the fact I feel the motor in the Solace is maybe not as powerful as it should be. I found that if your penis is not adequately lubricated then the resulting resistance can cause issues for the motor. This proves to be particularly true during longer play sessions. The bottom line here is that if you are happy enough getting things lubed up then this toy really can deliver some serious pleasure.
I found that the desk mount really does make this interactive male sex toy a truly fantastic experience. If you choose to use the desk mount then you will certainly find yourself needing to hold it in place with both hands. I found that this pretty much took everything away from what a hands free sex toy is supposed to be.
Overall, what I will say is that my experience with the Lovense Solace really has been amazing. It has genuinely become one of my favorite sex toys.

The Lovense Solace App
One of the best features I enjoyed throughout this Lovense Solace review was using the toy with Lovense smartphone app. This is the same smartphone app that I have used with other Lovense toys that I have reviewed. It adds the same functionality to the Solace that we are all familiar with from other interactive smartphone connected toys. You can hand control of the Solace over to someone else and you can also use preset patterns.
The app is compatible with other Lovense smartphone apps such as Lovnese Connect. This is a great feature if you happen to be in a long distance relationship. My partner works away a lot so I found this feature a real delight as it allows us to connect and sync my wife’s favorite Lovense toy with my Solace. This allows us to experience physical intimacy in realtime regardless of where we are in the world.
I must admit, much to my wife’s annoyance, I really do love the feature where I can sync the Lovense Solace with my favoite adult porn movies. This includes virtual reality porn. Once you try virtual reality porn with an interactive sex toy like the Solace your life will never be the same again. I will simply say that the Lovense Solace allows you to feel your favorite porn stars. This really is going to be the future of the adult entertainment industry.

Lovense Solace Design Features
Personally, I find the overall design of the Lovense Solace to be quite attractive. I think it looks quite sleek with its all black design. It is certainly big but it does look sleek.
I like that the buttons are in what I consider to be the perfect location. They are easy to understand and easy to use. Perfectly designed in my opinion.
I found that both the sleeve holder and the sleeve itself is very easy to remove from the toy. This is perfect when it comes to cleaning the Solace after use. I have lost count of how many male sex toys that are ridiculously difficult to take a part for cleaning. It is really nice to see that Lovense have designed the Solace with this in mind.
The one design feature that really does bug me is that this toy is marketed as hands free. The truth it that if you use it without the desk mount you are going to have to hold it in place.

Is the Lovense Solace User Friendly?
From the very start of this Lovense Solace review all the way to the finish I really felt that this is a very user friendly toy. The buttons located on the toy are easy to understand and use while the Lovense app is intuitive and looks great.
With that said I do have some gripes with this toy when it comes to its user friendliness.
As you have probably guessed I have not been that impressed using it without the desk mount. I understand and realise that having to hold the thing in place with both hands is the same with all toys of this nature I still find it annoying. Once again, I highly recommend using it with the included desk mount.
I did feel that it would have been nice if the desk mount allowed me to make more adjustments. The angles that are on offer are a little limited. This means when using the Solace with the desk mount you really need to choose a desk which is the perfect height.
I am often asked during my sex toy review about how easy a toy is to charge. In the case of the Solace the process of charing it is as simple as you could hope for. The toy is charged just like your smartphone using a regular USB cable. I do like sex toys such as the Solace which use regular USB charging cables. It means I pretty much always have a cable on hand to charge them with.

Lovense Solace Quality Verdict
At this point in my Lovense Solace review I will share my thoughts on its overall quality.
As with pretty much all interactive sex toys the Solace is made out of plastic. It is quite heavy which, to me, suggests that it is a high, good quality product.
The desktop mount that comes with the toy is made from strong and solid metal. This adds to the feeling that you are dealing with a high end, premium sex toy.
Having spent 6 months really putting the Lovense Solace through its paces I am pleased to report that I experienced no technical issues at all. It still, to this day, works exactly as it did when I first took it out of its box. The toy never missed a beat in the 6 months I have had it. Exactly what you want from an interactive male sex toy.
The sleeve and the sleeve holder, critical parts of the toys functionality, are pretty much perfect. I have never experienced any issues with them becoming dislodged during use. They both appear to made to the same high standards as the rest of the toy.
Lovense Solace Price
I would guess an important fact you will want from this Lovense Solace review is to know its price.
Officially, at the time of writing the RRP for this toy is $398. Yes, I know that is seriously expensive for a sex toy. The good news is that it is often on sale and can be found as cheap as $189. This is a seriously good price for such a high quality interactive sex toy.

Lovense Solace Performance: Expectation vs Reality
As I am sure you all know when it comes to sex toys there can be a huge difference between expectations and reality. So, with this fact in mind I will use this section of this Lovense Solace review to share with you how the reality of using this sex toy for 6 months compared to my initial expectations.
initially I was not actually expecting a lot from this interactive sex toy. Not having owned and used the Kiiroo Keon for a long time. However, I think you can tell that I have actually ended up suitably impressed by it overall.
I really do think this is a fantastic male sex toy. However, I would suggest that the marketing used by Lovense to promote the Solace are a little exaggerated when it comes to its capabilities.
One such exaggeration is about its ability to achieve a speed of 280 stroker per minute. This sounds fantastic but Lovense miss out telling you that this is only just achievable when you have the stroke depth of the toy set to the absolute minimum. If you have the stroke depth set to anything else then you will be left disappointed with its stroke speed. Don’t get me wrong. This toy can reach some pretty impressive stroke speeds but it falls short of the manufactures bold claims.
Having had ample experience with some of the best automatic male strokers on the market I was certainly not expecting this Solace to operate quietly. I found that the Solace, like all sex toys of this nature, is a loud when in use. This is especially true when you are using it with the desk mount.
What I was suitably impressed with was the battery life of the Solace. Many of these toys fall short in this department. I found the Solace was able to reach full charge in as little as a couple of hours. From a single charge I alway managed to achieve well over an hour of play. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Lovense Solace Packaging
The packaging is not something that is ever going to be a deal breaker for me when I buy a sex toy. However, I will still share my thoughts on this factor in this Lovense Solace review.
I found that the packaging is pretty standard as far as sex toy packaging goes. The box that the Solace comes in is pretty sleek and has clear, easy to read labels regarding what is inside. I would point out that this may be al little less discreet than many of you may hope for.
Inside the box you will obviously find the Lovense Solace. Alongside it there is desk mounting hardware, the charging cable, a storage bag and the user manual. I will add here that I found the user manual to offer clear, easy to understand instructions on how to setup and use the toy. I am very far from a technically minded person and I had no problems understanding the manual. Nor did I have any issues setting up and using this toy.

Lovense Solace Materials and Care
When I began this Lovense Solace review I was delighted to find the toy features a stroking sleeve manufactured from Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE). This is a material that is often associated with sex dolls as it feels exceptionally lifelike and realistic. The fact Lovense have used this material for the stroking sleeve means this toy feels ridiculously realistic. With enough lube you really will feel like you are inside a real female vagina.
The one problem with using TPE is the fact it is a porous material. This means you will have to give your toy regular and thorough cleaning. To be fair this is not really an issue as you should be cleaning your sex toys after each and every use anyway.
One of the great things about the Solace is that the TPE stroking sleeve is very simple and easy to remove from the main unit. This allows you to easily run water through it and even submerge it in water for the purpose of cleaning.

Lovense Solace Alternatives
When it comes to Lovense Solace alternatives there are a few options that you may want to consider.
Lovense Max2
The first Lovense Solace alternative you may want to consider is another interactive sex toy by the same company. This is the Lovense Max2.
I do like the Lovense Max2. However, if I had the choice between the Solace and the Max2 I would most certainly be choosing the Solace. The Solace is much more capable sex toy and it is of much better quality than the Max2.

Kiiroo Keon
It is no secret that I love the Kiiroo Keon. This is very much one of the very few interactive sex toys I would probably consider over the Solace. What makes me lean a little towards the Kiiroo Keon is that you can use your favorite Fleshlight style stroker with the Keon. There are plenty of super hot porn stars who have their own signature Kiiroo stroker.
What would make me lean towards the Solace is that I think the Solace is a much sleeker, better looking unit.

The Handy Male Masturbator
Personally, I have never been a huge fan of The Handy. However, it has proven itself to be a hugely popular interactive male sex toy. I would imagine this is because it is small, lightweight and highly compatible with a wide range of interactive porn and games. It is certainly a great Lovense Solace alternative if you want a toy that is more compact.

How to use Lovense Solace
In this section of this Lovense Solace review I’d like to give a brief explanation on how to use the toy.
How to Charge the Lovense Solace
The Solace ditches Lovense’s magnetic charger in favor of a different approach. Simply plug the charger into the port located at the back of the Solace, and connect the other end to a wall outlet or a computer. Once plugged in, keep an eye out for a red indicator light to confirm that it’s charging.
Connecting to Lovense Smartphone App
While not essential I found that connecting the Solace to the Lovense smartphone app significantly enhances the your experience. To do this the process is pretty simple. Turn on the toy and launch the Lovense Remote app. Then, select “Add a new toy” and the Solace should appear automatically. Once paired, you’re all set to explore its features. Subsequent connections are even easier—just open the app and power on the toy.
Use Lots or Lube
If you remember one thing from this Lovense Solace review make sure it is that I have told you to use plenty of lubrication. This is something you simply can’t skimp on with the Solace. This toy demands more lubrication than you might think. My advice is that when it comes to lube you really should not hold back. Be generous with the lube then add some more for good measure. Trust me and you can thank me later.

Lovense Solace FAQ
At this point in this Lovense Solace review we will look at some of the most popular frequently asked questions.
Do I need the Lovense Remote app?
No, the app is not mandatory for using the Solace, but it significantly enhances the experience. While the Solace comes with a few built-in patterns, the app provides a plethora of customizable options.
Is the Solace waterproof?
No, it is not fully waterproof. It possesses an IPX4 water resistance rating, which means it can withstand small splashes of water. However, it should not be used in the shower or during rainfall.
Can I replace the sleeve?
Yes, of course you can.! Lovense offers a Vagina sleeve for an additional cost. Swapping or cleaning the sleeve is a breeze.. You can buy extra sleeves by clicking here.
How fast does it operate?
The Solace can achieve speeds of up to 280 strokes per minute, with a stroke length of 2.75 inches. However, reaching the maximum speed requires a much shorter stroke length.
How noisy is it?
At its maximum speed and depth, the Solace emits a noise akin to a fan operating at full speed. Mounting it to a desk may amplify the noise slightly. Consequently, it’s too loud for discreet use in a household at night when others are present.
