Swedish, 29, in a long-distance relationship with an Australian — and that's basically my entire qualification for running this site.
A few years ago I met someone from Australia. We fell for each other pretty hard, and then reality hit: Sweden and Australia are roughly 15,000km apart, which is a very inconvenient number when you're in love.
Long-distance is brutal. You get creative. A friend mentioned Lovense, and I ended up with a Domi 2 — my first and, honestly, still my favourite. That first session across a 9-hour time gap — one of us definitely staying up too late — I thought: this is either the future of relationships or I'm completely losing my mind. Possibly both.
From there, I went deep on the entire Lovense catalogue — not by buying everything, but by researching it obsessively. Reddit threads, verified buyer reviews, community forums, manufacturer specs, app changelogs. I started keeping notes: which products actually match their battery claims, which app features work reliably, which ones are genuinely different versus just repackaged. Eventually those notes became this site.
"I'm Swedish, which means I'm constitutionally incapable of pretending something is good when it isn't. If a product disappointed me, you'll know. If it genuinely surprised me, you'll know that too. No fluff, no vague 'it's pretty good' — just what I actually think."
Honest answer: I haven't used every single product on this site. Lovense has 30+ products — no one has tried them all. For products outside my direct experience, I go deep on research: manufacturer specs, verified buyer reviews, Reddit threads, app store reviews, community forums. I'm transparent about this in each review.
What I can bring to every review — even ones I research rather than test — is context. I know what good looks like in this product category. I know what Lovense does well and where they cut corners. That calibration matters.
Whether I've used the product or not, every review follows the same four-step process.
Motor power, battery life, charge time, waterproofing rating, dimensions, Bluetooth version. These are facts — pulled directly from Lovense's official pages and cross-checked against app documentation.
Reddit (r/Lovense, r/SexToys, r/LongDistance), verified buyer reviews, Lovense community forums. I look for patterns — if 30% of users mention a connectivity issue, that's in the review.
Every score is calibrated against the rest of Lovense's catalogue, not the entire market. A 9.4 here means outstanding for Lovense. Keeps comparisons meaningful rather than abstract.
Not "is this good?" but "who is this actually for?" Solo play, couples, long-distance, beginners — different products suit different situations. My job is to make that match clear.
I'm a 29-year-old researcher based in Stockholm — I keep most personal details private, which feels reasonable given the subject matter, but the experience behind this site is real: a long-distance relationship that's taken me deep into this category over the past two years. My experience with Lovense products is real. For products I haven't personally used, I rely on the research process above and say so clearly in those reviews.
I'm not affiliated with Lovense. I don't receive free products. My opinion of a product doesn't change based on whether it has an affiliate link.
The full rating methodology — how scores are calculated, what criteria are weighted, and why scores range from 8.0 to 9.4 — is on the How I Review page.
This site contains affiliate links to Lovense. If you buy through my links I earn a small commission — same price as buying direct, just a cut comes to me instead. It's how I keep the site running and the reviews free. It doesn't influence what I write. A bad product is a bad product, commission or not.
Lovense updates firmware, tweaks the app, and changes pricing more often than you'd think — and my own opinions sharpen the longer I live with a product. So reviews here aren't a write-once thing: every one carries a visible "Last updated" date, and I revisit the catalogue on a rolling basis, prioritizing whatever's changed most or whatever readers flag as outdated.
I keep a dated, public log of what's changed and why on the Site Updates page — new reviews, refreshes, corrections, all timestamped. If something here looks off or out of date, tell me and I'll check it.
Browse reviews, compare the full range, or answer a few questions and I'll tell you exactly what to get.
