Lovense Max 2 review: Now Half Price! And Still Double-Bubbled Bliss

By Robin C Mac

Updated:

The Lovense Max 2 is a double action BJ and pussy simulator – depending on your choice of sleeve, which contracts and vibrates vigorously, for solo or long distance play with the Nora, Calor or another Max 2.

If you prefer squeezing and sucking motions to vertical stroking, and pairing seamlessly with your partners sex toy, these are its pro’s in a nutshell.

Placing its features in order of merit, the sucking motions come third, syncing a high second and the vibes first, they’re sensational, but loud. It’s a solid BJ simulator in all but name, but it’s no BJ machine that strokes you up and down; (it does though slot in the FL Launch using a 3D printed adapter). However, pounding pulses are its forte.

First Impressions

Nine and a half inches tall and weighing in at 3/4 of a kilo, your first thought might be how you’re going to mount this baby for some hands-free action (which you can – see Lovense Max 2 mount creations); but straight off the bat the Lovense Max 2 is futuristically designed, has a hard shell and the opening on the clear sleeve looks tight.

I’d read that the extra vaginal sleeve and the dongle were worth getting, but being single I passed on that addition and I don’t do freemium cam sites or VR. You will need the Lovense dongle if you wish to connect two of their toys together. They cannot be synced with other 3rd party dongles.

The vaginal sleeve though I should have grabbed. I’m no wide Jenkins but neither a slim Jim and this transluscent love hole was staring back at me with one very furry eyeball.

PROS
Jarring (sound-activated) vibrations
Finger swipe contraction + vibration bar
Flawless syncing to toys + movies + erotic stories

Harder you go more partners toy reacts
No other VR porn-compatible masturbator in this price range
3D adapter allows Max 2 to slot into Fleshlight Launch for added stroking frenzies
CONS
Loud
Not for 6″+ girths: other BJ toys, simulators or machines recommended
Could suck harder

Lubing & Warming up Max 2

Still, lubrication is a must, and dousing it in my own homemade watery lube resolved that tight entry worry; but it’s a cozy fit, not equipped for girthier (6″+) fellows. Silicone lubes or oils are a no-no. Any watery brand or Fleshlight lube will compliment the Max 2 like gravy on a roast. Indispensable.

You can submerge the Lovense Max 2 sleeve in some warm body temperature water – around 40c, prior to dabbing it down with a hand towel and slipping it back in its case for that extra fleshy feel. The lube too can be cooked up in the microwave for about 10 seconds before coating your love hole.

How does Max 2 feel?

In short:

1. The contractions are so-so but the vibes are great. Covering the toys manual suction hole does help improve its pull but the pulses are more powerful. They are loud too. You’ll need some music on and thick walls if you’re adjacent to anyone. Better to have the place to yourself.

2. In terms of realness, mostly the vibrations feel real but the light contractions do not. Suction is limited and not as clenching as the Leten Hatano auto-onahole, or as fleshy too. But the vibes are the coup de grâce and unlimited, as the multiple microscopic sensors react to any sound.

3. The sleeve feels durable and is bobbled like a Darlik from head to toe. If you prefer expanding and contracting poontang walls, grab the vaginal sleeve which also has a friendlier entrance.

4. On VR, syncing with lovers Lovense toys, webcam girls who use this brand or bringing life to your personal porn collection using Vibemate, I can’t comment, but feedback is good on this feature. Simulators are generally better in this department than BJ machines, as they are lined with a millipede of sound sensors and inbuilt engines and suction pumps, so they emit hundreds of ripples and rhythms in a fraction of time. Their senses are more aligned to sound than thrusts.

Is it the Best $99 you’ll ever spend?

It all depends on what you fancy and also your girth – no more than 6″. If it’s contracting walls and electronic pulses pounding away at your schlong in beat to what you’re controlling, watching or listening to, then the Lovense Max 2 is the only BJ simulator in this price range that does this. The Lelo FS1V2A smart massager is very similar and $100 more. Some of the best BJ simulators are cheaper, excellent big suckers and feature powerful new airbag technology but only a handful are interactive.

Originally marked up at $200, half price is a good deal for this bespoke, sound stimulating masturbator.
