The Lovense Solace is an automatic thrusting masturbator: a motorised sleeve that strokes at adjustable speed and depth instead of vibrating. I haven't used it myself. What I can give you is how it differs from the other Lovense toys for men, and when it makes more sense than the Max 2 or the Solace Pro.
At $184, the Solace is priced between the Max 2 ($99) and the Solace Pro ($199). The difference from the Max 2 is fundamental: the Max 2 vibrates and contracts through air pressure; the Solace moves the sleeve mechanically in a straight stroke, which is a different kind of sensation. The Solace Pro adds a heated sleeve to the same thrusting core — whether that's worth the extra $15 depends on whether warmth is important to the experience for you.
The real decision point between the Solace and Max 2: if the Max 2's air contractions felt like "not enough," the Solace's mechanical stroke motion is exactly what fills that gap. If partner interaction and Nora sync are the priority, the Max 2 has that ecosystem advantage. It comes down to the kind of sensation you want.
✍️ Emma's take
The Solace does automatic thrusting in a straightforward way, and I mean that as a compliment: straight strokes, speed and depth set on the buttons or in the app, and a removable sleeve. Those are the parts that matter, and it handles them without extra complication.
The sleeve is the detail I'd single out: it comes out for cleaning, and you can swap the textured default for a more realistic sleeve sold separately.
It isn't the most inventive toy for men, but buyers rate it highly and describe it as dependable. If you want something that just works without fuss, the Solace fits.

⭐ Quick verdict
The Solace scores 7.7/10. It's a well-made automatic stroker with full app control and a battery Lovense rates at up to 13 hours; it loses points for IPX4 and for costing only $15 less than the Solace Pro.
🛒 Get the Solace — Official StoreHow this score was calculated
Research-based review: built from the maker's published specs and verified buyer reviews; I have not tested this toy myself. The same grid for every brand: nine criteria scored out of 10 and weighted (full method on How I review). Battery life is ranked among the male masturbators on this site (longest = 10), value is measured against their median price, and noise runs from 30 dB (10) to 70 dB (0). A figure Lovense does not publish drops out of the score and the other weights scale up.
Score: 7.7/10
Who should buy the Solace?
✅ A good fit for
- Men wanting automatic thrusting (not just vibration)
- Users who found Max 2 contractions insufficient
- Long-distance couples wanting hands-free app control
- Anyone who wants thrusting without the Solace Pro's price
⚠️ Consider alternatives if
- Want contracting sensations instead of thrusting (try Max 2)
- Want thrusting + heating combined (try Solace Pro at $199)
- On a tighter budget and want app control only (try Max 2 at $99)
- Your partner uses a female toy and wants Nora sync specifically
Design and build
The Solace is a full-size automatic masturbator, not a compact or discreet toy. The ABS body holds the thrusting mechanism, and a soft inner sleeve moves back and forth inside it. At 294 mm long and 980 g (Lovense), it stays put without being held.
Hands-free use
The Solace is made for hands-free use: clamped to a table edge so you can use it standing, with the clamp that comes in the box, or resting on a flat surface. The motor does the work, so you don't need to hold it in place.
- Positioning: clamped to a table or on a stable surface; at 980 g it doesn't shift much.
- Sleeve: removable and soft, 148 mm deep (Lovense).
- Noise: The thrusting is audible, so it's not for shared walls or quiet rooms at full speed.
Key Specs
- Total length: 294 mm (11.6 in)
- Sleeve depth: 148 mm (Lovense)
- Weight: 980 g (Lovense)
- Material: ABS housing + TPE sleeve
- Water resistance: IPX4 (splashes only)
Battery life and charging
Lovense rates the Solace at 56 min to 13 hours per charge, depending on the intensity, and a full charge takes 100 minutes. On this site only the Solace Pro (up to 14 hours) lasts longer.

Power and performance
The thrusting mechanism is the heart of the Solace. It moves the inner sleeve back and forth at adjustable speed and depth. That's mechanical thrusting, a different feeling from the Max 2's air contractions, which some people prefer and others don't.
Vibration quality
You set thrust speed and depth on the buttons or in the Lovense Remote app. Most buyers describe the feeling as closer to penetration than to vibration, because the sleeve strokes rather than buzzes. The app also lets you set the rhythm and build your own patterns.
- Slow thrust: deliberate, full-depth strokes, what many buyers prefer for long sessions
- Medium thrust: The most common setting in community reports
- Fast thrust: the top speeds, which some buyers find less satisfying than medium
- Patterns: preset ones on the buttons, or your own in the app
Noise levels
- ✅ Low thrust: a quiet motor hum
- ⚠️ Medium thrust: Audible in a quiet room
- ❌ High thrust: clearly audible, not for thin walls or shared spaces
App and connectivity
The Solace connects via the Lovense Remote App using Bluetooth 5.0. All the standard Lovense app features are there: remote partner control, custom thrust patterns, music sync and the cam-site connection for performers.
Main features
🌍 Long-distance control
Partner controls from anywhere via internet. Perfect for maintaining intimacy in LDRs.
🎵 Sound activation
Vibrates to music or ambient sound - amazing for concerts or clubs.
🎨 Custom patterns
Create and save your own vibration patterns or download community favorites.
📱 Manual Control
Simple button control when you don't want to use the app.
Without the app
Four buttons: hold for 3 seconds to switch on and tap to start thrusting; A and B cycle up and down through the thrust patterns, C and D raise and lower the stroke speed; tap to stop and hold for 3 seconds to switch off. Custom patterns, sound and music sync, and partner or long-distance control need the Lovense Remote app.
App & privacy
- App: Lovense Remote (Hytto Pte. Ltd. / Lovense).
- App Store label: linked to you: email address, user ID, usage data; not linked to you: product interaction, crash and performance data; no tracking declared.
- Google Play: shared with other companies: device or other IDs (analytics); collected: name, email address, crash logs, diagnostics, photos (optional), videos (optional), app interactions (optional); encrypted in transit; you can ask for your data to be deleted.
- Known incidents: 2017: the Android app kept an audio recording of sessions on the phone; Lovense called it a bug and fixed it in version 3.0.7 (Help Net Security). 2025: researchers showed that a username was enough to find a user's email address and take over the account; Lovense says both flaws were fixed by 30 July 2025 (BleepingComputer).
Checked on 12 October 2026. Store labels are declared by the developer; Apple and Google don't verify them.
Long-distance use
At a distance, the Solace is mostly about a partner controlling the thrusting through the Lovense Remote app: speed, depth and patterns, from anywhere with internet access. The app runs on iOS and Android, and you can share a control link, so the partner in control doesn't need an account.
LDR Setup
📱 How it works
- ✅ Partner control: live thrust adjustment from anywhere
- ✅ Video sync: Works alongside video calls without interference
- ✅ Custom patterns: Partner can build and save thrust sequences
- ⚠️ Latency: App response is real-time but dependent on both users' internet connection
Note: The Solace doesn't sync with female Lovense toys the way the Max 2 and Nora do. If bidirectional toy-to-toy sync is important, the Max 2 is the better choice for that specific use case.
Care and maintenance
Cleaning
Lovense rates the Solace IPX4: splashes only. Never rinse the body under the tap or submerge it: take the sleeve out and wash it with warm water and mild soap, and wipe the body with a damp cloth.
- Remove the sleeve: take it out of the body after each session
- Wash the sleeve: warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner
- Wipe the body: a damp cloth only, never under the tap
- Air dry: let the sleeve dry completely before putting it back
⚠️ DON'T:
- Rinse the body under the tap or submerge it (IPX4 = splashes only)
- Use harsh chemical cleaners
- Charge while wet
Solace vs. Max 2 vs. Solace Pro

How to use the Solace, including the table clamp
The table clamp is what makes the Solace properly hands-free. It fixes to a desk or table edge and holds the toy at a set height and angle, so you can use it standing. Once it's mounted, you run it from the app or let video sync drive it. Buyers rate this highly: using the Solace while watching content, on a video call with a partner or streaming on a cam site, without holding or positioning it.
Video sync adjusts stroke intensity and speed to match what's playing on your screen, for content on platforms that support Lovense. The sync is managed through the Lovense app and requires the video to be playing on the same device the app is connected to. Multiple buyers specifically cite this feature ("syncing to videos" and "multitasking" during hands-free use) as the primary reason they chose the Solace over competitors.
How the Solace does in each use
The Solace's automatic thrusting mechanism, desk mount, and long battery life mean the experience changes noticeably depending on how and where you use it. Based on verified buyer feedback across different scenarios, here's what the Solace delivers in practice.
Alone: matching thrust speed to mood
Alone, the Solace's stroke power, rated 5.0/5 by verified buyers, leaves plenty of room to start slow and build up instead of going straight to the top. Buyers consistently mention experimenting with thrust speed and depth settings before settling on a preferred combination, with several noting that the strongest setting is more intense than they expected from a toy in this category.
With a partner: hands-free on the clamp
With the Solace clamped to a desk or table edge, a partner in the room can take over the controls in the Lovense app while your hands are free, changing thrust speed and depth without touching the toy. Buyers specifically cite the desk mount's stability as a standout feature ("the desk mount is sturdy"), which is what makes this hands-free dynamic practical rather than precarious.
Long distance: remote control and video sync
For long-distance couples, a partner anywhere can adjust thrust speed and depth in the Lovense Remote app's long-distance mode. With video sync, which matches stroke intensity to compatible videos, a partner can direct the session from afar while content plays, without either of you working the toy by hand.
Regular use: battery and sleeve care
The Solace's battery life is long enough that regular users won't need to plan around frequent recharging, even with daily use. The habit to build is sleeve care: cleaning it as described above after every session keeps it in good condition and avoids the residue that hurts both hygiene and feel over time.
Who should skip the Solace
The Solace's automatic thrusting and table clamp are excellent for some uses, but it isn't for everyone. Look elsewhere if:
- You want built-in heating without paying a small premium for a separate model. The Solace Pro adds body-temperature heating to the same thrusting mechanism — the closest direct upgrade.
- You're shopping on a tighter budget and want bidirectional sync with a partner's toy. The Max 2 pairs with the Nora for two-way long-distance connection at a lower price point.
- You're looking for a toy worn during partnered penetrative sex, not a standalone stroker. The Diamo is a vibrating cock ring designed to be worn during intercourse.
- You're after prostate or perineum stimulation rather than penile stimulation. The Edge 2 is purpose-built for P-spot and perineum targeting.
- You want oscillation and two independently-controlled motors rather than a single thrusting motion. The Gush 2 targets the glans and frenulum separately with combined oscillation and vibration.
Getting the most out of the Solace: table clamp and video sync
Hands-free use on the clamp depends on a few setup details that keep coming up in buyer feedback:
Clamp it before you pair the app
Get the desk mount securely clamped to a table or desk edge and the device positioned at the right height and angle before connecting to the app. Adjusting position after the app session has started means stopping and restarting controls, which buyers describe as more disruptive than getting the physical setup right first.
Use water-based lube every time
The sleeve works much better with plenty of water-based lube, both for comfort and to protect the material over time. Buyers who skip this step report the thrusting motion feeling more like dragging than gliding, especially at higher speeds.
Turn on video sync before pressing play
Turn on video sync in the Lovense app before the video starts, not after, because the app has to connect to the content first. Open the app, enable sync mode, confirm the Solace responds to a quick test, then start playback. Starting the video first and enabling sync afterward is the most common reason buyers report sync not working.
Start with a shallow stroke and go deeper gradually
Thrust depth has a bigger effect on overall sensation than thrust speed for most users. Most buyers recommend starting with a shallow setting and going deeper over a few sessions, rather than starting at maximum, to find a setting that stays comfortable.
Solace vs. masturbators from other brands
The Solace isn't the only app-connected automatic thrusting masturbator on the market. Here's how it compares to two well-known alternatives outside the Lovense ecosystem:
vs. Kiiroo Titan
Vibration waves vs. real thrusting. The Kiiroo Titan doesn't thrust: nine vibrating motors around the sleeve run in patterns, including waves that travel up and down, and it's smaller than the Solace (221 mm and 857 g, per Kiiroo). It works with Kiiroo's app and interactive content. The Solace actually strokes and adds a table clamp and Lovense's long-distance features. Choose the Titan for vibration-based stroking in a smaller body; choose the Solace for real thrusting.
vs. Autoblow A&G
Multiple motions vs. focused thrusting. The Autoblow A&G combines rotation, vibration, and thrusting in a single device controlled via the Autoblow Connect app. The Solace focuses on a single, adjustable thrusting mechanism paired with the desk mount and video sync. Choose the A&G if you want several motion types combined in one toy; choose the Solace if you prefer a dedicated thrusting mechanism with Lovense's video-sync and long-distance features.

Is the Solace worth it in 2026?
At $184, the Solace is Lovense's entry-level hands-free stroker with video sync. The Solace Pro ($199) adds longer strokes and more features for $15 more. For buyers whose main use is video-synced hands-free play, the Solace's 5.0/5 stroke power and 4.7/5 cleaning ratings from Lovense's buyers cover the core experience; the Pro makes sense if you want the longer stroke length.
The Solace supports full partner control in Lovense Remote, so a partner can run it from afar. Paired with a Lush or a Nora on the other side, each partner can control the other's toy at the same time. For cam models who use male toys in their performances, the Solace's desk mount and video sync capability make it particularly practical for extended hands-free cam sessions with viewer-controlled interaction through Lovense's cam platform integrations.
Lovense rates the Solace's battery at up to 13 hours, with a 100-minute full charge, so recharging is rarely a concern. It is rated IPX4, though: splashes only, so clean the TPE sleeve separately and wipe the body with a damp cloth rather than rinsing it. For first-time Lovense buyers in the male category, the Solace at $184 includes video sync and app-controlled partner features without extra accessories.
Bottom line: The Solace is the right choice if you want hands-free, video-synced stroker experience at $184. The Solace Pro is worth the extra $15 if heating sensation and longer stroke range matter to your use case.

I started Pleasure Vibe Reviews after going long-distance with my partner — Sweden to Australia, 15,000km apart. Lovense became essential to our relationship, and I couldn't find reviews that actually answered the questions I had.
