Anal beads are something many women have in their sex drawers. However, if you’re tired of the same old anal beads you’ve always used, you may want to give the Lovense Ridge a try.
The Lovense Ridge will make your hole tingle and your booty shake. Or at least have a good time whether you’re new to anal or you’re a veteran.
Like all Lovense products, they’re a luxury item. So are they for you? Let’s find out.
I’ll be looking at the Lovense Ridge’s features, pros, and cons. So let’s start by looking at what exactly the Lovense Ridge is.

What is The Lovense Ridge?
The Lovense Ridge is a set of anal beads with plenty of luxury features. As you may expect, the beads do vibrate.
And like most Lovense products, you can use an app to control its vibrations and make your own custom patterns.
But the real beauty of the Lovense Ridge comes with the fact that these anal beads rotate. They can rotate slowly for newcomers, or stir you faster than a world-class chef mixing some batter!
The Lovense Ridge is 5.75 inches in insertable length and 1.5 inches at its widest bead. This length and width mean it’s beginner-friendly while also offering plenty to anal lovers.
What Are The Main Features of the Ridge?
The Ridge will fill your butt while being full of features. Let’s look at some of them!
Powerful Vibrations and Rotations
Lovense Ridge delivers strong vibrations that will make you melt or softer ones for newcomers or those who like a slow burn.
Of course, the main stars of the show are rotations.
Any anal lover probably has had a partner who grabbed those anal beads by the ring and rotated them! And it felt so amazing!
But if you’re a one-person show, or you’d like your partner’s hands somewhere else, these babies rotate on their own.
And they can get up to 116 rotations per minute. Nearly two every second!
As you expect with all Lovense products, you can control the vibration and rotation intensity separately or as a packaged deal.
Quiet
What if you want some discreet or public play? For example, you may want to be on a hot date with your partner and you want to have these inside of you.
Well, at maximum, the Lovense Ridge is about 50 db, which is as loud as a quiet office.
This means that no one will hear it in a normal public setting.
Flexible Bottom Joint
Some anal beads aren’t too bendable, which can be a little problematic if you’re trying to get into some cool Kama Sutra positions.
Luckily, Lovense has you covered with a very flexible joint that will help you reach orgasm no matter the position.
App Supported
Like most Lovense toys, the Ridge is controllable via the Lovense Remote app. You can control it from a short, Bluetooth-length distance or a long distance.
Long-distance control is entirely consent-based and includes voice, video, and other messaging options.
With the app, you can download and create new patterns, adjust the speed and intensity, and sync the toy to music.
Yes, that’s right! Reach anal orgasm through the power of song. We may not have flying cars, but the future isn’t that bad.
Pros
- Vibration and rotation are easy to control.
- Quiet.
- Good for most lovers of anal.
Cons
- Like most Lovense toys, it’s pricey.
- Hardcore anal kings and queens may want something bigger.
How To Use Ridge by Lovense
Using the Lovense Ridge is pretty self-explanatory, and there’s a manual to give you tips. That being said, I’m here to give you more help if you need it.
First, give the toy a charge. Most toys come with some charge, but you want it to be at full power. Use the magnetic charger, and once the red light disappears, it’s good to go.
Be sure to charge the toy fully before every long-term use, or else you will be a little disappointed.
While charging, download the Lovense Remote app. If you’ve already downloaded it, make sure that it’s fully updated.
Turn on the Lovense toy by holding down the vibration button.
The Ridge has two buttons, one to control vibrations and one to control rotations. The Ridge should vibrate once to indicate it’s on.
Open the app, and then pair it by clicking the link icon at the top right.
Afterward, it’s simple to control the movements and make your own patterns.
Since the Ridge is an anal toy, I recommend you use plenty of lube. Stick with a water-based or hybrid lubricant. Silicone lubes may damage the Ridge!
And that pretty much covers it. If you start to feel uncomfortable, slowly pull the toy out. Reapply lube regularly during use.
You know, standard butt stuff.
My Experience With The Lovense Ridge
Okay, I’m not the biggest lover of anal, but I can definitely enjoy it if the toy is good. Luckily, this toy is great.
The beads are ergonomically designed and easy to fit inside of me, which is appreciated. It’s not an intimidating toy at all, either.
I’ve seen plenty of anal toys that make me wonder how a human being can take that thing.
But this one is pretty non-intimidating. I managed to get it inside me with some preparation, lube, and a prayer or two to the sex toy gods.
Once inside, it was quite easy to control. This is Lovense we’re talking about, so I didn’t think the app was going to be unreliable. I didn’t lose connection once.
If I did, the toy is quite easy to fix by resetting it. In my opinion, the toy is pretty quiet, too.
I’ve had some loud Lovense toys, but this isn’t one of them.
I’m not brave enough to wear anal beads in public (plus I don’t even know if I would want to wear them for that long,) but I could see someone braver wearing them without worry of being caught.
I was a little worried about the rotation aspect of these beads. I’ve had many toys that have failed to deliver smooth rotations and instead, they feel jerky and uncomfortable.
But the Lovense Ridge manages to rotate like a real hand is guiding it.
Honestly, it’s better than a real person. I love my boyfriend, but he cranks that toy like his life depends on it and it can get uncomfortable.
It’s not his fault; his definition of “slow” is different from mine. With this toy, I am in full control, and I can make it go slow and work my way up.
So yes, I think the Lovense Ridge is an excellent toy. If you’re new to the anal world and you have some money to burn, this toy may be a good place to spend it.
However, I recommend trying something a little cheaper first, then working your way up.
Is The Lovense Ridge Waterproof?
What if you want to use the Lovense Ridge in the bath or shower? And, being anal toys, you probably want to give them a good cleaning.
Like most Lovense products, the Ridge boasts an IPX7 rating. This score means you can submerge the toy in water up to one meter deep for 30 minutes without damaging it.
So yes, when you’re cleaning the Ridge, you can give it a nice, good clean. I’d highly recommend you do that.
How to Charge and Clean the Ridge
The Lovense Ridge uses magnetic USB charging and comes with a magnetic cable. You can find the two magnetic tips at the base.
Afterward, plug the USB into a port of your choice. You should know it’s charging because a red indicator light will come on.
The light will turn off when the toy is fully charged. Charging the toy should take approximately 75 minutes from an empty battery.
As for cleaning, the Ridge is made from non-porous silicone. You can spritz some antibacterial toy cleaner on the Ridge or use mild soap and warm water. Afterward, let the Ridge dry.
Then, put the toy in a silk or vinyl bag and store it in a cool, dry place. Always clean the Ridge after every use! It’s an anal toy; do I even need to explain why?
Some folks may be tempted to put the Ridge in the dishwasher, but I’d just say that a little cleaning goes a long way.
How Much Does The Lovense Ridge Cost?
The cost for the Ridge ultimately depends on where you buy it from and if any sales are going on.
As of this writing, the Ridge is going for $119 before any shipping or taxes. If this price is too much for you, you can wait for any sales or discounts.
If you don’t want to drop $119 at once and you don’t want to put it on credit, one tip I can give you is to use PayPal. PayPal has an option where you can make four payments every two weeks.
It’s very convenient, especially if payday isn’t around the corner just yet.
What Packaging Does it Come In?
When you order the Ridge from Lovense’s official store, you should receive it in a discreet brown box with a vague sender name.
Once you open the box, you’ll find the official packaging. The Lovense Ridge includes the Ridge itself (duh) a charging cable, and a manual. Pretty simple!
However, this toy is missing something that other toys usually include: a carrying bag. A carrying bag is useful for storage.
I always have a few extra lying around, so no big deal on my end. But if you’re low on them, you should know this.

Who Should Buy The Lovense Ridge?
If you want to upgrade your anal beads, you should buy the Lovense Ridge. Especially if the idea of rotating beads seems cool to you!
If you’re tired of having to rotate them by hand, use the power of automation!
Who Should Skip The Lovense Ridge?
If you’re on a short budget, you should probably skip the ridge. Another reason you may want to skip it is if you just want a vibrating pair of anal beads, or if you’re new to anal.
If you’re new and you’re unsure if you’ll like anal, you should probably settle for a cheaper toy.
Then, if you enjoy what you feel, you can upgrade.
Lovense Ridge Alternatives
It’s always good to be informed and compare other products. So let’s look at some Lovense Ridge alternatives you may want to check out.
Bloomgasm Rose Twirl 10X Vibrating & Rotating Rechargeable Silicone Anal Beads – Red
Roses are red, violets are blue, the anal beads twirl, and feel good do you. Bad poetry aside, this is a nice pair of rotating anal beads for a much more affordable price.
These red beads have a beautiful red rose at the end, which adds a little bit of flavor to them. That said, these beads do not use remotes and are controlled via a button.
