Synergy is the name of the game for the Lovense company, connecting different toys and play styles at once.
You can connect your Lovense toy to a virtual experience, and your favorite videos to your Lovense toy.
Welcome to the Lovense Media Player, a downloadable desktop application that makes watching videos – or engaging in a steamy VR space – while playing with your toy a seamless experience.
This Lovense Media Player review will explain what the media player is and what sets it apart from other video platforms you might use.

What is the Lovense Media Player?
The Lovense Media Player is software for your desktop that can do multiple things at once, most notably, as the name suggests, play media.
But the Media Player is so much more than that.
The Lovense Media Player streams videos, connects to your Lovense toy and functions alongside the Lovense Remote app, and connects to VR headsets like Oculus, among other features.
It might actually be easier to explain the shortlist of what the Lovense Media Player can not do. The Lovense Media Player is an all-in-one digital experience sure to make your playtime better.
The Media Player is compatible with most PC desktops and is totally free to download and use. There are no tricky premium subscriptions or tiered payment levels for access.
That’s right, you get the entire app and all of its features entirely for free, just with a quick click of the download button on the Lovense website.
It might sound too good to be true, but Lovense wants you to use their toys and keep using them. They are keeping their loyal fans happy with a piece of software like this.
The Lovense Media Player, like the Lovense Remote app, is a way to enhance your Lovense toy experience even more. You can always discover more to do with your Lovense toy.
The Lovense Media Player is also a great place for Lovense users and longtime fans to connect and share resources. For instance, users will upload their vibration patterns that anyone can access.
You can create patterns for normal 2D videos and 3D and VR videos. That way, when you want to watch one of your favorite items, your Lovense toy will be ready to play along with it.
We all know we like to return to the same video again and again, but it is a whole new experience entirely to return to the same sensations over and over again.
With the Lovense Media Player, you can download your favorite videos and then create (or download from another user) a customized vibration pattern that your toy will buzz along to.
Every time I use a Lovense product or experience a new digital feature, I am blown away by feeling like I am living in the future!
I never thought my video app could give me this kind of pleasure.
The Lovense Media Player also makes it easier to sync up toys like the Max 2 and Nora to a VR experience.
Your toy can react and respond to the visuals you’re encountering, making for a truly incredible solo play session.
Everything in the Lovense line of products is made to facilitate your play experience and make it easier and more pleasurable, to reach orgasm. The Lovense Media Player is no exception.
Key Features of the Lovense Media Player
Control During Play
The Lovense Media Player is a lot like a video player and the Lovense Remote app in one.
When you have the ease of the Media Player, there is no need to fumble around with multiple buttons on multiple devices when you’re ready to get to the action.
You can control the sex toy via the desktop app, but more importantly, you can pre-program a pattern into your Lovense Media Player to connect directly with the toy of your choice.
This means you can pop on your favorite video, click on the preset pattern that you want to use, and then your toy will take care of the rest.
No adjustments are needed; no messing around with power buttons or adjusting controls. The Lovense Media Player gives you the ease of total control.
Tech-Forward Intentions
The Lovense company has always been the most tech-forward name in the market, and the Media Player helps to cement that position even further.
So, just like how a Lovense toy is not just a sex toy, the Lovense Media Player is not just a video player because it has so many more functions.
The Media Player is not just a streaming website, it is an entire digital, interactive experience.
One of the most amazing aspects of the Lovense Media Player is that it works with every single Lovense toy. You can use it with my favorite the lush 3 and many other toys.
I have often been disappointed when I purchase a special add-on from a company, and it turns out it only works for two of their signature toys.
VR Compatibility
The Lovense Media Player is compatible with VR headsets and programs like Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, HTC Vive, and more, according to their website.
Because all Lovense toys are compatible with the Media Player, you are just a few steps away from syncing your favorite Lovense toy along with your favorite Virtual Reality experience.
Of course, you don’t need to digitally sync if you prefer the manual approach, but it is such a relief to let the toy do the work instead of doing it yourself.
Lovense toys can also be used with the Lovense VR game Mirror Life, a sexy and fun virtual experience that is great for anyone who isn’t interested in a peer-to-peer program.
One Stop Shop
On the Lovense Media Player, you can connect with other users, share and upload vibration patterns, watch and save your favorite videos, and share playlists.
If you don’t have the patience or interest to customize your patterns along with a video, plenty of users have already done the work for you.
The Lovense Media Player is a great platform for Lovense fans to connect.
Just like the Lovense Remote app, where you can add people to your contacts, the Lovense Media Player also has a social aspect.
It is so nice to know I can fire up the Lovense Media Player, grab my Lovense toy of choice for the night, and have everything I need for an incredible solo play experience.
No premium subscriptions needed!

How To Install and Setup
You don’t need to be a computer expert to install and set up the Lovense Media Player.
The first step is to download the free Media Player software directly from the Lovense website.
It is best to use an up-to-date PC computer and make sure you have enough storage space for downloading.
Once you’ve properly downloaded the Lovense Media Player, it will automatically take you through the installation process, which takes a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Next, you will connect the Media Player desktop app to your Lovense toy, or toys, of choice.
Make sure that Bluetooth connections are available on your desktop before starting the pairing process.
The Lovense Media Player will recognize any Lovense toys in the vicinity and connect with them. From then on, you won’t need to go through the connection process again.
The Lovense Media Player will detect the available toys every time you fire it up so that you can get to your playtime even faster.
To connect your VR headset along with the Media Player, follow the Media Player page instructions to continue the syncing process with the VR headset of your choice.
If your desktop does not have Bluetooth compatibility or you run into connectivity issues, do not worry.
As long as you have a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone or tablet, you can connect your toy to the Media Player.
The smartphone can act as a “bridge” between the Lovense toys and the Lovense Media Player.
It should be noted that the Lovense Media Player is currently only compatible with PC computers, like Microsoft. An Apple computer cannot run the software as is.
Sorry, Apple fans!
The good thing is that the Lovense Remote app works great on Apple devices, and you can still connect your Lovense toy to a VR device without the Media Player.
The Lovense Media Player itself does not take up a lot of memory, but the more videos you add to your collection, the more it will contain.
The Lovense Media Player installation process really is a breeze and is completely free!
