Unlike most sex toys on the market, Lovense makes high-quality smart sex toys, and I’m a big fan!
If you’re looking at their egg vibrators, you’ll notice two similar ones: the Lush 3 and the Vulse. Since you may not have the budget for both, you may wonder which you should choose.
Both toys have their pros, cons, and differences. The Vulse is mainly a thrusting vibrator, while the Lush 3 focuses on vibration. But, even knowing this, you may not know which works best.
This review will answer that question! I’ve tried both and will determine which suits your needs! I’ll look at the features and then compare the two of them.

Comparison of Features
The Vulse and the Lush 3 are pretty similar in terms of features. However, there are several differences. These differences mainly involve the way the toys deliver pleasure to you.
Lovense Vulse
Egg-Shaped Thruster Vibrator
If you’re new to the world of thrusting vibrators, let me explain what they are. Rather than just buzz, and that’s it, these vibrators make thrusting motions like a real penis.
The Lovense Vulse has up to 120 strokes per minute, which should satisfy most people. How many strokes you get can depend on factors such as battery strength.
Up to An Hour of Play Time
The Vulse has a rechargeable battery that has up to one hour of playtime, on average. How much you will get out of it with a single charge may depend on your settings.
It takes up to an hour to charge the vibrator, with 85 minutes being the max time.
Lush 3
Powerful, Yet Silent Vibrations
When you use this vibrator, you can get some powerful vibrations out of it. However, this vibrator is also quiet.
The loudest it gets is 48db, about as loud as light rain or a quiet office. And if you lower the intensity, it can get whisper-quiet.
You can have fun while your roommate is nearby or in a public setting. (I won’t condone it, but I know some of you will do it!)
Up to Five Hours Charge
The Lush 3 has up to five hours of playtime. If you’re taking your partner out for a long date, the Lush 3 may be the perfect toy!
Like any battery life, your experience may vary depending on the intensity you use.
Features That Both Toys Share
Because these two toys are both egg vibrators from Lovense, they have more similarities than differences. Here’s what they share.
App Control
The app control is the most prominent feature of both of these toys and Lovense products in general. The Lovense app lets you control how the toy works through Bluetooth connectivity.
With the app, you can:
- Control the speed and intensity of the vibrations and thrusting.
- Create unique vibration patterns, or download them via the app.
- Have the vibrator thrust to different tunes based on sounds, music, or motion.
- Pair it with other Lovense toys.
- And more. Lovense is constantly updating its app to add more features to make your experience even more thrilling!
How far you can control your partner can depend on your device’s Bluetooth strength and how many obstructions are between you and your partner.
Generally, you can reach a few hundred feet with a modern device without obstructions.
Long Distance App Control
Do you have a long-distance partner? No problem! The Lovense app has many long-distance features.
For example, you can video chat with your partner and see their movements. Thanks to this app, you can feel closer than ever to your partner.
Body-Safe Silicone
Both toys are made from body-safe silicone. This silicone feels great inside you, and you do not risk any disease or exposure to toxic material.
Also, both toys are simple to clean. A bit of mild soap and warm water, and you’re ready to go another round! This simplicity is because silicone is non-porous.
Avoid porous materials, as they can harbor bacteria and be difficult to clean.
Waterproof
Since both toys are battery-powered, you may wonder how they fare in the water. Both the Lush 3 and the Vulse are IPX7 waterproof.
This waterproof level allows you to safely submerge the toy in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes.
A waterproof level like this means you can enjoy the toy in the bath, shower, hot tub, or most bodies of water.
USB Rechargeable
Both toys use USB charging, meaning that you can charge it through a computer, an outlet, or any other place with a USB port.
These toys also have a magnetic charging port. When you insert the magnetic port, it will stay attached until you are ready to remove it. It’s quite a convenient way to charge your toy!
Easy Insertion
Both toys have an egg shape that conforms to your body. Also, each toy has a long tail, which means you can pull it out safely when you are done.
Both toys should be comfortable to wear and stay inside your body.
Lush 3 vs Vulse: Vibration Strength
Since both are vibrators, you better believe that one vital part of this review is looking at vibration strength.
Objectively, the Lush 3 has better vibration strength. The Lush 3 can be pretty intense, and you will feel it all inside you.
I know I did.
The Vulse, meanwhile, is only half as strong. If you’re a beginner to the vibration world, the Vulse may be enough.
But if you have experience, you may wish for something a little more robust.
This difference makes sense. The Vulse focuses on its thrusting capabilities, which the Lush 3 lacks.
Many people, including myself, found the Vulse to be better overall in the stimulation department.
But your mileage may vary. You may prefer a powerful vibrator with no thrusting gimmicks. And that’s okay!
Lush 3 vs Vulse: Thrusting Performance & Features
The Lush 3 is not a thrusting vibrator, so I’ll only discuss the Vulse here.
The Vulse is quite impressive at its thrusts. It’s not the fastest thruster in the world; it only reaches up to 120 thrusts a minute.
I counted to 100 when I used it, so its thrusting potential may depend on different factors. However, the toy thrusts slowly and controls and ensures every thrust counts.
As for the rest of the features, they are pretty similar.
Again, Lovense has an overarching app that works the same way as all their toys. It’s an excellent way for you to have some fun consistently.
Lush 3 vs Vulse: Design and Appearance
Both toys have a similar appearance. The toys have an egg-shaped vibrator aspect and a long tail you can use to remove the toy safely.
Both almost look like sperm in some strange way. The Lush 3 does have a smoother shape with its head. Meanwhile, the Vulse has a tapered end with ridges below it.
The Vulse is red, while the Lush 3 is pink. Whichever you like better in appearance is a matter of taste at the end of the day.
Lush 3 vs Vulse Materials
There is no difference in materials with either toy. Both use body-safe silicone that works well with water-based lubes.
To clean the toy, you only need to wipe it down with mild soap and water.
Remember, Lovense is a premium brand, so they take great care with their materials. With either toy, you do not have to worry about toxic materials or bacteria that were absorbed.
Lush 3 vs Vulse: Wearability and Comfort
Both toys have a similar shape, but there are differences. The Vulse has a more tapered end and ridges.
Wearing the Lush 3 was comfortable, but at times, I did feel like I was being stretched a bit.
Meanwhile, the Vulse is better in this regard. It should please both newbies and veterans alike.
However, the thrusting power of the Vulse may mean that the toy can fall out if you’re not careful. I recommend wearing some underwear over the Vulse if you are going to get wild.
Lush 3 vs Vulse Noise Levels
Lovense is great at creating discreet toys that don’t make much sound. You may want to put a toy inside your partner and control it during a night out.
While the thrill of being caught can be exciting, you want a toy that won’t make enough noise to make people notice.
So, which is quieter? The Lush 3, by a mile. While the Vulse is not a super loud toy, its thrusting makes much more noise.
Meanwhile, the Lush 3 is whisper quiet. You can bring it anywhere, and no one will know.
The noise levels can depend on the intensity you have selected. You can put the Vulse at its weakest intensity and be quieter than the Lush 3 at its highest.
Lush 3 vs Vulse: Battery Life
Because the Vulse is a thrusting vibrator, it requires more battery than the Lush 3. On average, I found that the Vulse lasted up to an hour.
Meanwhile, the Lush 3 lasted up to five! The Lush 3 is the way to go if you want some all-day fun.
However, both do excel at having fast charging times. It should take about an hour or so to reach full battery life.
Any battery life depends on how often you use it and the intensity you have it on.
Common knowledge, I know, but some people still get confused when the battery lasts longer or shorter than the average time.
Lush 3 vs. Vulse Secure Fit
In my testing, both toys fit well. However, the Vulse has a tapered shape, and its ridges also help stay inside.
The Vulse also has a higher insertion width of 3.7 cm than the Lush 3’s 3.47.
This width may not seem like too much of a difference. But for some women and men, this makes a world of difference.
Again, the thrusting power of the Vulse may affect its secure fit a little, so keep that in mind.
What Are The Close Control Options on The App?
Both the Vulse and the Lush 3 use the same app. Because of this, the close control options are the same for Bluetooth.
In my testing, I could control my partner up to 200 feet. However, it all depends on several factors.
The Bluetooth strength may not be as good if you have an older phone. The distance may also depend on if there are any obstructions between your phone and the toy.
With the app, you can control the vibrations and their intensity and choose whether or not you want a continuous feel.
You can also play vibrations based on MP3s or create and download your own patterns. There is an unlimited amount of vibrations you can pick from when you choose these toys!
This feature is so fun. Chances are, you have a lot of music on your phone. It’s entertaining to see what songs work well to pleasure you, and which need a little more oomph to them.
Another feature is that you can control the toy to respond to motion.
This adds a little more spice when you want to have discreet play.
You can also sync both toys at the same time. You may not need two egg vibrators.
However, you may want to sync the Lush 3 or Vulse with a Lovense butt plug. This way, your partner has equal stimulation across all holes.
The close control options are virtually the same since both the Lush 3 and Vulse share the same app.
The only difference is that with the Vulse, you can control the thrusting.
What Are The Long Distance Features?
Both the Vulse and the Lush 3 have the ability for a partner to control the toy from long distances. This feature works great for couples who can’t be there in person.
Through the Lovense app, you can see your partner’s movements and feel their actions. There’s also the ability to video chat through a secure, discreet platform.
Also, you’re able to have fun through other video chatting platforms. You can even play back patterns as needed.
Both toys use the same app and have the same long-distance features. Whichever you want for long-distance play is a matter of taste.
You may like the intense vibrations pleasuring your partner while you’re away. Alternatively, you may like the idea of a thruster that can simulate sex.
Lovense Lush 3 vs. Vulse Connectivity
There is no difference between either toy’s connectivity. Both connect to the same app via Bluetooth and do it well.
We’ve gone quite far in the world of Bluetooth devices. It used to be that the connection would be spotty, even if you were close.
Now, you can go quite far and still have a reliable connection.
As soon as you set up the app, it should be simple for you to add your toys to it. As mentioned, you can also connect both toys to work simultaneously.
If you have any issues, try restarting the app or the toy.
Where Can You Buy The Lovense Vulse and Lush 3?
So, now that you know the features of these great toys, you may have one question: where can you buy both of them?
You can find the Vulse or Lush 3 at many adult stores. Online retailers, such as Amazon, also sell Lovense products.
However, the best place to buy these toys is on Lovense’s website. The website will ship your product through discreet packaging.
Also, it’s much easier for you to contact customer support if you order from Lovense’s website.
Finally, Lovense’s website is better at having regular deals and discounts. If you don’t want to spend too much on the Lush 3 or Vulse, you may discover there are discounts.
For instance, Lovense has the Vulse for over 40% off as of writing this!
Verdict
Now that I’ve looked at and tested both toys, I must decide on a winner. And it was a tough one!
The Vulse has some powerful thrusting motions and is more comfortable. Meanwhile, the Lush 3 has better vibration, is quieter, and has longer battery life.
But overall, I chose the Vulse. I enjoyed the thrusting a lot more than the vibration, as it was able to hit my G-spot just right! It also felt a lot more comfortable, which is essential.
The battery life is nowhere as good as the Lush 3. But, while I love to be stimulated, I don’t need five hours of it.
Honestly, both toys work well. I recommend buying both if you have the budget, as each works well for specific situations.
Anyway, I hope this article was helpful. Now that you know the difference, buy one of these great toys.
