Lovense is known for its smart sex toys that give limitless possibilities when you control them with their app.
However, most toys they sell are meant for the ass or pussy. What about a penis?
I believe there’s no shame in using a masturbator for your penis, and neither does Lovense, as their Solace toy delivers on this front.
If you want a good male masturbator, the Solace may be one you want. Is it any good? What are its main features? Its pros and cons?
I’ll explain everything there is to know about it.

What is The Lovense Solace?
Are you in a hurry? Here’s a little summary of the Solace and its pros and cons.
The Lovense Solace is a male masturbator, designed for men or those who were assigned male at birth.
The Solace is automatic, masturbating and stroking the penis without any need for hands.
Those using it can insert several sleeves with different feelings. For example, one sleeve feels like an actual vagina. Well, as close as it gets, anyway.
It’s gotten rave reviews for many reasons. (Well, by most, but we’ll get to that.) People love its battery life, performance, and app compatibility.
However, it is bulky, loud, and not compatible with all porn games.
Also, the toy is expensive. This price makes sense, as it’s a smart male masturbator. However, if you’re on a small budget, I recommend purchasing a smaller toy.
Pros
- It feels so good.
- Amazing battery life.
- Adjustable stroke speeds and depth.
- The app compatibility allows for local or long-distance fun.
Cons
- It can be pricey.
- It’s loud and bulky.
- Not compatible with many games.
Features and Benefits
The Solace comes with many features and several benefits as well. These features and benefits include:
Hands-Free Pleasure
Finally, you’ve been freed of your hands! Don’t get me wrong, I get why masturbating using what God gave you can be fun.
But sometimes, you want your hands free to do other stuff. You know, like file your taxes, or eat some brunch.
Okay, most of us are going to spend our free hands doing lewd stuff. If you have a partner, you can finger them with both hands.
You can have some food while watching and edging to your favorite erotic streamer.
Customizable Powerful Strokes
Being a Lovense toy, you better believe that it’s customizable. First, this toy goes up to 280 strokes per minute.
Just imagine trying to count that!
Also, the depth is adjustable based on your penis size. Its maximum depth is 2.75” or 70mm, giving you plenty of room to experiment.
This should be enough to help you reach climax, with weak strokes helping you edge if you wish.
Long Distance Fun With The App
One of the most desired features of Lovense toys is the ability to control the toy from a long distance.
If you have a partner who’s far away from you, satisfying each other sexually can feel impossible.
But long-distance control can help to close the gap. With the app, you can sync each other’s toys, control them from afar, and more.
Play R-Rated Games
I’m not sure why Lovense calls them R-rated when they’re clearly X-rated, but don’t shoot the messenger.
Lovense has a variety of games that are compatible with its Solace toy, with more being added.
There’s a mixture of both free and paid games that cover various kinks and art styles. Hentai, realistic, furry, fighting, RPG, card games, you name it!
There isn’t a huge selection out right now, but it should satisfy you if you’re a casual ero-gamer. Plus, they’re always adding new stuff.

Different Sleeves, For Different Experiences
The Lovense Solace has several sleeves available, each offering a different experience. By default, you get the neutral sleeve, which gives you a soft, skin-like feel.
The nubs and ridges should be enough to stimulate you.
But if you want something that feels more like a vagina, you can purchase the vagina sleeve.
Personally, I would recommend purchasing an extra sleeve in case your previous sleeve is in the wash or fails.
Lovense App Compatibility
Like all Lovense toys, the Solace has compatibility with the Lovense remote app.
This app lets you change the thrusting levels and patterns, both short and long-distance.
The app also has its famous music sync, meaning the thrusts can move to your favorite songs.
You can also sync the Solace with other Lovense toys that you have.
VibeMate App Compatibility
VibeMate is an app where you can watch live streams and attend events. When joining, the vibrations will be synched, making your experience as close to the real thing as possible.
If you’re watching a stream, the app will sync according to their motions, letting you immerse yourself like never before.
The Lovense Solace is completely compatible with the VibeMate app, so have fun!
Flexible Mounting Choices
The Solace comes with mounting hardware that lets you fix your Solace onto a table, chair, or any other surface.
This way, you’ll experience stable, consistent masturbating like never before!
The toy only comes with one mount, but it’s easily adjustable. You can change its position at a 180-degree angle, giving you plenty of possibilities.
Compact Size and Lightweight Discreet Design
I mentioned its size as a downside, but let’s face it, it’s decent for an automatic male masturbator. It’s less than five pounds and relatively easy to pack with you while traveling.
The Solace also doesn’t look like a male masturbator at first glance. If your parents come and visit and you forgot to put the Solace away, first of all, get your life together!
But second, your parents may look at the Solace and think it’s a video game accessory.
With that said, remember that its discreteness only amounts to its appearance. Being a loud toy, people will still hear you if you’re in the same area.
IPX4 Waterproof
Okay, this toy isn’t fully waterproof. Instead, it’s IPX4. This means that the toy can handle splashes of water.
If you get a little too excited and spill your water on the Solace, you won’t need to worry. This rating also means that you can use the toy in the rain.
Though, I wouldn’t know why you’d want to. But hey, I’m not kink-shaming. This rating does mean you shouldn’t use it in the bath or shower.
When you want to clean the toy, wipe it down and remove its sleeve. You can then clean the sleeve, dry it off, and pop it back into the Solace.
What Are The Sound Levels Like?
One recurring criticism you’ll notice if you go to the product reviews is that the toy is loud. Of course, loudness is subjective.
Everyone has different hearing levels, and everyone has different living situations. Have you ever had a family member or roommate who can hear a pin drop? Yeah.
But I consider myself pretty in the middle when it comes to my tolerance for loud noises. If a toy is a little buzzy, it is what it is.
There are ways to conceal that sound if you want to be discreet. So, does the Solace meet that?
I’m not going to sugarcoat it; this toy is loud! Hearing the toy for myself, I thought the printer was on and malfunctioning.
Of course, the noise means that this masturbator has some power to it. However, in 2024, we have plenty of toys that prove that quietness and power aren’t mutually exclusive.
Therefore, I recommend this toy with a partner you trust, or when you’re home alone. If someone is sleeping and they are susceptible to noise, then don’t use it.
I imagine future versions of this product will be quieter, so if you want to use it, but have roommates, wait a little.
What’s Inside the Box?
The Solace has everything you need to get started. Obviously, the box includes the Solace, charging cable, and manual for easy instruction access.
The Solace also includes a neutral sleeve. If you want a more lifelike sleeve, it’s sold separately.
You also get a desk mount, which is easy to set up. But it’s optional as well. Finally, you get a storage bag.
When you’re done with the toy, always put it in the bag!
What is The Battery Life of the Solace?
The Solace is powered by a rechargeable battery, which begs the question, how long does it last?
There’s nothing worse than being on the road to achieving a climax, then the toy dies due to low battery.
Obviously, you should charge your toys regularly to avoid that. But if you are going for a long session, how long will a single charge last you?
The battery has up to 12.5 hours on a single charge! Yes, you read that correctly. Obviously, your time may vary depending on your settings.
But most users experience plenty of charge time. There’s so much time here, that it’s completely your fault if it dies on you.
Also, the Solace has a low charge time. It takes about 100 minutes to charge the Solace from empty to full.
So, even if your toy dies, you don’t have to wait too long for it to be usable.
My Boyfriend’s Experience Using The Solace
So, yeah, I don’t have a penis, but my boyfriend does! I decided to let him be the guinea pig for testing out the Solace. I was interested in what he had to say for several reasons.
For one, the reviews of this toy feel a little… polarizing, to say the least. Some people love how the Solace feels and enjoy its battery life.
However, others have issues with how loud the toy is and how bulky it feels.
Me and my man both agree with the two criticisms. I wouldn’t bring this toy when seeing family; it’s going to stay in the comfort of our apartment.
Luckily, it’s not so loud that the neighbors are going to hear. But when it’s at max speed, I do worry about a noise complaint.
Someone may think we’re doing construction at midnight. But that hasn’t happened, yet.
My boyfriend is a little bigger than most, but not monstrous. He said the toy felt fine, and delivered the right amount of pleasure.
Controlling it was fairly straightforward as well. Like all Lovense toys, there is the occasional hiccup that happens when trying to use the app, but it doesn’t happen enough for it to be a problem.
They’re good at upgrading their apps for fewer chances of bugs happening. As always, resetting your Bluetooth usually fixes it.
We tried the desk mount as well, and that one could use a little work. It does have a hard time staying still unless you’re in a very specific, straight position. Luckily, he didn’t really need to use it, but keep that in mind if you do.
He’s a gamer, so he also tried some of the compatible games as well. While he prefers regular VR games, he said the compatibility worked and the games were immersive enough, so take that as you will.
Cleaning the toy is a breeze. The sleeve stays inside the Solace, no matter how rough you are with it. But when you want to clean the sleeve, it’s easy to pop out.
The sleeve is made from silicone and is quite easy to clean off with soap and water.
Dry it off, and it’s ready for use again. Wiping any messes from the Solace itself is also relatively easy. I’d recommend a wet wipe.
So yeah, overall, it was an experience more positive than negative. Of course, he prefers me to masturbate him with our own cocksleeves.
We both agree that while the toy is great, it may be wise to wait until the next model. This sentiment is especially true if noise is a concern. But overall we’re glad that we got it!.
