Unboxing and First Impressions
Packaging Quality
Some people might think that packaging isn’t that important. But as someone who’s received her fair share of toys that have dented and cracked from poor boxing and rough delivery, I always like to start off with what you’ll immediately be presented with from the company. It’s a sign of how much thought and care a brand puts into its image and products.
As someone who’s received Lovense products before, I can say that how their toys arrive is reliable and unaffected in terms of damage. There was only one instance where someone was careless along the delivery process and probably dropped it and the box corner was slightly smushed. But since all products come in a special foam cutout (that is meant just for that toy), nothing important was hurt.
The box design has gone through some changes over the year, but the vitals are still intact – all the necessary information is printed on the outside so buyers can get a good idea of what they’re getting.
In terms of packaging, it’s a 10/10 as usual.
What’s in the Box?
- The Lush 3 vibrating love egg (obviously).
- A magnetic USB Charger – The shift they made a long while ago to a magnetic USB charger is a big win, offering convenience and functionality.
- User Manual – Gone are the days of juggling multiple leaflets. Now, you’ll get a single accordion manual with the basics. Most of it is in picture form – I’m guessing to make it more accessible to all buyers and get rid of the need to translate everything into several languages.
- Satin Storage Bag – Lovense also includes a storage bag (silicone is a dust magnet no matter how good it is and you should use it), not just for aesthetics but also for functional storage, adding value to your purchase. But keep in mind that these bags are (for the most part) the same size.
The Lush 3 App and Digital Capabilities
Most people who gravitate towards Lovense are curious about the technological (specifically “teledildonic“) aspect of the brand. So, let’s take
App Features
The Lovense Remote app is the powerhouse behind all its toys, turning them from simple sex toys into an interactive experience. The user interface is fairly intuitive despite its many possibilities.
- Personalized Patterns: If you don’t like the 10 preset patterns, you can make your own and program them into Lush’s button sequence (and the toy will remember). There’s also a huge, free library of over 10k user-made patterns. You can also upload your own if you make something interesting.
- Programmable Levels: The same thing goes if you don’t like how powerful/weak the low, medium, and high settings are. Choose what you’re body prefers and the buttons will remember that too. Personally, I like to up all my settings a few levels higher than the standard.

Bluetooth vs. Long-Distance Control
The Lush 3 can be controlled in two significant ways: Bluetooth for close-range activities and the app’s long-distance feature for when you’re separated from your partner.
Bluetooth Control:
Ideal for solo or close-range couple’s play. But keep in mind that even though Lovense is tech-advanced, Bluetooth is still … well… Bluetooth. Sitting positions, distance, and even walls between you will increase the chance of hiccups. I find it best for close proximity teasing or if you’re doing discreet public play in non-crowded places.
Long-Distance Control:
Even if I am in proximity to someone, I actually prefer using the long-distance function. It’s also great for long-distance couples, people who like spicy play while apart, and/or any reason you need more than a handful of meters between you. It’s also essential to connect to other products and events. And if you’re worried about safety, the app utilizes end-to-end encryption to secure your interactions.
Just make sure you have a good internet connection – just like any tech thing that needs WiFi and whatnot.
Extra Functions
The app doesn’t just stop at basic controls or international connections. I would say this part is what makes a lot of people love the brand.
- Music Sync: You can sync your Lush 3 to vibrate with your favorite music. Imagine that in a dance club or just trying to do your chores with the stereo blaring.
- Ambient Sound Control: You can also have it react to ambient sound cues. This can be your voice, external sounds, crowd drones, cheers of a stadium, your own moans… The list is endless.
- Other Adult Product: Being able to link your toy to react to interactive porn has been on the Lovense menu for a long while. But, in recent years, customers have had the yummy option of using their device to sync with adult/X-rated computer games and erotic audiobooks (personally my favorite aspect of the app).
Lush 3’s Design & Build Quality
Aesthetics: Modern and Unassuming
At first glance, the Lush 3 doesn’t look that different from most vibrating love eggs. Its discreet design makes it blend seamlessly into any bedroom setting, pillow date, or under clothes (especially since the newest version has a fixed, external arm. The silicone is also soft with minimal drag (that entirely goes away when you apply lube – which we all should).
Ergonomics: Built for Comfort
From the shape to the dimensions, the Lush 3 has ergonomics in mind. It fits comfortably, ensuring that you can focus on the experience rather than adjusting the device. The g-spot bump is just enough without feeling like you have a mini-mountain pressing against your insides. The tapering of the bulb to the neck is enough that you can wear it (or sit on it) for a while.
Durability: Built to Last
While it’s not something you might immediately consider, the lifespan of a toy like this is crucial. Made from high-quality materials, the Lush 3 is built to withstand repeated use without showing signs of wear and tear. Just make sure to take care of it. No swinging it around your head or wrenching the neck like a glow stick!
Personal Experiences and Real-World Testing
There are considerable differences from the first generation, but in ways I definitely like. But the biggest one people will notice (as just mentioned) is that the neck is now non-flexible. I get the idea of flexibility, but the old versions would end up creating a bulge in my panties (which could be visible outside of my clothing).
Now, the neck is fixed. It hugs my body better. With the bulge gone, I felt way less self-conscious. But there will still a desperate need for panties. It’s not hands-free – at least not as much as I would like. If you want something that stays put, Dolce is probably better – but these comparisons are in a different article.
So yes, despite the thin neck, if you’re leaving the house, wear something to keep that little guy where he belongs. Even a thong is better than nothing. I also like the idea of the solid neck because it lets the residual vibes reach the clit.
Note: You don’t HAVE to use the app to enjoy Lovense toys. You can use them “offline” with just the buttons. The app just gives you access to all the extras.
The power is still there (with an impressive 5-hour battery life), even a little stronger when getting into the programmable section of the app. Then again, it’s not surprising since Lovense always goes for upgraded hardware for every new generation. This includes the Bluetooth connection. However, I did find it a bit spotty once several walls got in the way or if I was sitting with my legs crossed.
I’m a huge fan of the power levels and found them very knee-buckling!
Using the long-distance connection was better and the uninterrupted vibrations we much better. I like the G-spot targeting and found Lush 3 gave a fair amount of shivers.

Long-Term Use: Does It Hold Up?
If you’re investing in a toy like this, you’ll want to know how it performs in the long run. I’ve been testing the Lush 3 for a couple of years now, and it has lasted like a champ. Battery life remains consistent, and the device has shown no signs of mechanical issues. But if you do run into glitches, you can read what to do further in the article under the “warranty” section.
Couples’ Experience: Two Sides of the Coin
What’s it like to use the Lush 3 as a couple? Since I’m currently single, I don’t have insights for this. But I know I love using it solo. So adding another person can only be double the fun. Right? If you’ve used Lush 3 in a two-person setting, leave a comment below! I’m also not much for discreet public solo play. But I imagine it’s delightful.

Battery Life and Charging
Battery life can be a dealbreaker for many people. The Lush 3 impresses with up to four hours of use on a single charge. Whether you’re using it for a quick session or a weekend getaway, the battery won’t let you down.
With a fast-charging feature, the Lovense Lush 3 takes about 90 minutes to go from 0% to 100%. The device uses a magnetic charging port, making the process convenient and foolproof.
