My Verdict

This clitoral stimulator has added a completely new way of being stimulated to my repertoire, which has not only felt incredible but has also been an interesting learning experience. It's been really amazing to discover a whole new genre of clitoral orgasm! For me, getting to know a new sex toy and how my body responds to it makes it more exciting and really fuels my curiosity. This toy is perfect for a quick orgasm, which I think is a great part of any self-care routine, but it can also be enjoyed using the slower settings or as foreplay with a partner. I also found that it worked great for nipple stimulation. The SONA 2 cruise is easiest to use lying down or sitting in a chair, as it is easy to keep the mouth of the toy in a steady position or even use your thighs to hold it in place. I'm still undecided on the cruise control function and think it will take more time for me to decide which camp I'm in!  The price tag is steep, but I think if it's within your budget, and you enjoy intense clitoral stimulation, then it's worth every penny!

About The Lelo Sona 2 Cruise

The SONA 2 cruise is a clitoral stimulator that uses Lelo's SenSonic technology. Rather than directly stimulating the area of the clitoris that sits outside the body, it uses pulsations to stimulate both internal and external parts of the clitoris. It also has cruise control, which means the toy increases the power in response to being pushed against the body, unlike many other toys that lose power when pressure is applied.

The vibrations of the Lelo Sona 2 Cruise are fairly quiet, very powerful, and somewhat rumbly

The Realities of Using the Lelo Sona 2 Cruise

My Personal Experiences with Lelo Sona 2 Cruise

First Impressions

Honestly, I was very excited to try the Lelo Sona 2 Cruise. All I can say is wow! This thing is seriously strong and definitely didn’t disappoint! Like many women, I experience orgasms mostly from clitoral stimulation, but I have never experienced clitoral orgasms quite like the ones with the SONA cruise 2. They were much more intense and felt a lot deeper. The orgasms also didn’t follow the standard pattern but seemed to build bit by bit with noticeable shifts upwards towards the end making that intense pre-orgasm feeling last for longer and the orgasm itself seemed to ripple through my body for longer than usual after.

A Whole New Sensation

Also, the intensity of the whole experience really takes over and forces you to be in the moment. The orgasm itself seemed to take over my whole body and the outside world kind of disappeared for a moment! I was pretty overwhelmed the first few times I used it and a little bit disappointed that everything was over too quickly, but this changed the more I used it and understood how my body responded to the different intensities and patterns. It is difficult to describe the exact sensation, but it is a much deeper, resonating pulse that doesn’t overstimulate the clitoris in any way. It feels more like a rippling pulse that is both smooth and intense at the same time — what I mean to say is it’s pretty amazing!

Multiple Orgasm Magic!

The indirect stimulation of the Lelo Sona 2 Cruise also made it much easier for me to have multiple orgasms —something I find difficult with a regular vibrator due to oversensitivity. As there is no direct clitoral contact, I found I could easily go for round two or three!

Sona 2’s Settings

I thought I would love the higher intensity settings, but I actually prefer the lower settings, as the higher ones were too intense and the fun was over too quickly! The lower settings give you more time to enjoy the sensations, play with the different patterns and build the intensity. I particularly love the rolling, wave-like patterns as the stimulation rises and falls building up to a super-powerful climax, sort of like edging.

The gentle curves and velvety silicone look and feel fantastic. The whole product looks high-end and made me feel like I was indulging in some luxury self-care time. The wider, softer mouth (compared to previous models) is also a great addition as it sits comfortably around the clitoris and stimulates more of the area. I have the cerise design, which I personally love, but I like that it also comes in black and purple to suit different tastes.

My User Experience Unveiled

Lelo Sona 2 Cruise  My User Experience Unveiled

Although there are lots of settings to choose from, the controls are intuitive to use, and I like that you can quickly and easily turn the intensity up and down, which is great if you don't want to orgasm too quickly! Also, the controls are in a great location and don't get accidentally pushed when in use. The shape makes it easy to hold in place between your thighs if you want to use your hands elsewhere. I would prefer if the functions started out in the lowest intensity instead of the highest as it can be a bit of a shock to go up to the highest intensity when you only want to change the pattern

The Lelo Sona 2 Cruise : Standout Quality or Shortcomings?

Lelo Sona 2 Cruise  The Lelo Sona 2 Cruise : Standout Quality or Shortcomings?

The toy feels very well-made, robust, and it has a nice weight to it so that it sits comfortably in your hand. The silicone is very soft and feels fantastic when used with lube. There are no hard or sharp parts that irritated me and the seam where the silicone meets cannot be felt. The gold plating on the back is a nice touch and adds to the feel of quality. There are no loose parts, the toy doesn't overheat, and it keeps its charge well. The quality of the Sona 2 definitely lives up to what you would expect from a toy in this price range.

A Closer Look at The Price Tag

There's no denying that this is an expensive toy, but if you can afford it, you should definitely invest in one! This is the royal treatment your clitoris deserves — like a day at the spa for your clitoris but a spa you can go to every day!

Absolutely top marks for performance. This toy lived up to the rave reviews you've probably seen all over the internet. The clitoral orgasms with the Sona Cruise 2 are unlike any other I have experienced. My only criticism is that the toy can get pretty loud, especially when using the higher intensity settings. The cruise control feels responsive but also means you risk hitting the big O before you are ready, so that can take some getting used to.

The sleek packaging in black and gold lives up to LELO's high-end design. Even before you unpack the Sona 2, the packaging lets you know that this is a high-end product designed purely for pleasure! I really appreciate well-designed packaging as it really sets the tone for the whole experience and adds to the excitement of getting a new product.

Being made of silicone and fully waterproof, the SONA 2 cruise is easy to keep clean with soap and water or toy cleaner. I use a sensitive soap and warm water to clean the toy before and after each use. It's also good to have something small to clean inside the mouth. It can be dried with a clean towel, but I also like to leave it to dry with the mouth facing down as it is tricky to dry inside this area. The SONA 2 cruise also comes with a nice, black satin storage bag to keep your toy safe and clean and stop any lint or fluff from sticking to the toy.

LELO Sona 2 Cruise vs. LELO Sila

The LELO Sila and Sona 2 Cruise are both sonic wave toys designed for clitoral stimulation. The Sila offers a different design and shape than the Sona 2 Cruise, with a larger surface area for broader stimulation. The Sila’s wider mouth allows for a gentler, more diffused sensation than the Sona 2 Cruise, which provides more targeted stimulation with its narrower nozzle.

Both toys are made from high-quality materials, are rechargeable, and are waterproof. The Sila offers 8 different vibration patterns and is designed to offer a quieter experience than traditional vibrators. The Sona 2 Cruise has 12 different vibration settings and also features LELO’s Cruise Control technology.

LELO Sona 2 Cruise vs We-Vibe Melt

The LELO Sona 2 Cruise and the We-Vibe Melt are two of the best-selling sonic clitoral stimulators on the market. Both products use sonic waves to create a unique type of stimulation that feels different from traditional vibrators.

In terms of design, the LELO Sona 2 Cruise has a curved, ergonomic shape that fits comfortably in the hand, while the We-Vibe Melt has a slightly smaller, more compact design that makes it easier to maneuver during use. The Sona 2 Cruise is also slightly more powerful than the Melt, with an 80/100 power score compared to the Melt’s 80/100. Both products have 12 intensity levels, but the Melt also has more in-app options.

Ease of use is another area where the products differ. The Sona 2 Cruise has three buttons that allow for easy control, while the Melt can be controlled with a smartphone app. Some users may find the app control to be more convenient, while others may prefer the simplicity of a traditional button control.

The Sona 2 Cruise and Melt also differ in terms of noise level, with the Sona 2 Cruise being quieter than the Melt (60/100 vs. 60/100). They are both rechargeable and waterproof, making them easy to clean and use in the bath or shower.

Pricing is also a factor to consider when comparing these products. The We-Vibe Melt is slightly less expensive than the Sona 2 Cruise, which may make it a better choice for those on a budget.

LELO Sona 2 Cruise vs Womanizer Premium

The LELO Sona 2 Cruise and the Womanizer Premium are two high-end clitoral stimulators that use different types of technology to create unique sensations. The Sona 2 Cruise uses sonic waves, while the Womanizer Premium uses air pulsation technology.

In terms of design, the Womanizer Premium has a larger, more bulbous shape compared to the sleeker, more compact design of the Sona 2 Cruise. Both products are made from high-quality materials and have a luxurious feel to them.

When it comes to power and intensity, the Sona 2 Cruise and Womanizer Premium are both very strong. They both have 12 intensity levels, but the Womanizer Premium has more vibration patterns (12 vs. 10). However, the Sona 2 Cruise is slightly more powerful than the Womanizer Premium, with an 80/100 power score compared to the Premium’s 50/100.

Ease of use is another area where the products differ. The Sona 2 Cruise has three buttons for easy control, while the Womanizer Premium has a Smart Silence feature that automatically turns off the toy when it’s not in contact with skin. Some users may prefer the simplicity of the Sona 2 Cruise, while others may appreciate the unique features of the Womanizer Premium.

Both products are waterproof and rechargeable, making them easy to use and clean. The Womanizer Premium is more expensive than the Sona 2 Cruise, which may be a factor for some users.

LELO Sona 2 Cruise vs Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation

Another comparison that is worth making is between the LELO Sona 2 Cruise and the Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation. Both of these toys use pulsating air technology to create unique sensations, but there are several differences between the two.

The LELO Sona 2 Cruise has 12 different intensity settings, while the Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation only has 11. Additionally, the Sona 2 Cruise has a more ergonomic design, which some users may find more comfortable to hold and maneuver. The Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation, on the other hand, has a longer battery life, lasting up to 180 minutes compared to the Sona 2 Cruise’s 120 minutes.

Another factor to consider is price. The Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation is generally more affordable than the LELO Sona 2 Cruise, making it a good choice for those who want to try air pulse technology without breaking the bank. However, the Sona 2 Cruise is made from higher quality materials and has a more luxurious feel overall, which may make it worth the investment for some users.

Both the LELO Sona 2 Cruise and the Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation are waterproof, making them easy to clean and versatile for use in different settings. They both also come with multiple speeds and patterns, allowing users to customize their experience.

One notable difference between the two toys is the noise level. The Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation is known for being very quiet, while the LELO Sona 2 Cruise is slightly louder. This may be a consideration for users who need discretion during use.

Overall, the LELO Sona 2 Cruise and the Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation are both great options for those looking for unique clitoral stimulation. The Sona 2 Cruise may be a better choice for those who prioritize design and quality, while the Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation may be a better choice for those who prioritize affordability and quietness.

FAQ

How loud is the LELO SONA 2 cruise?
The SONA 2 cruise is pretty loud, especially when using the higher intensity volumes. LELO's specifications state the maximum noise level as 50dB, which is roughly equivalent to the background noise you would find at home. It is loudest when in contact with your skin as it makes a deeper vibrating noise. We checked this with a decibel app and found that the higher settings tend to hit the 50 dB mark but, if you angle the toy in a certain way or it vibrates against you in a certain way, it can jump above that level to around 60dB.
How does the LELO SONA 2 cruise work?
The SONA 2 cruise uses when LELO call SenSonic technology. The product uses sonic waves, rather than a vibrating motor, to deliver pulses of air that stimulate the clitoris, both the external part we all know and love and the lesser-known internal parts. The silicone mouth transmits these waves towards your clitoris.
How long does the LELO SONA 2 cruise take to charge?
The LELO SONA 2 cruise takes 2 hours to charge and lasts for up to 1 hour of play time or up to 90 days standby time.
What does the cruise function do on the SONA cruise?
The cruise function kicks the power up a notch when you push the toy into your body, even when you are using the highest intensity. This was designed to combat the common problem of sex toys losing power if you apply too much pressure.
What lubrication can I use with the Lelo Sona 2 Cruise?
As the Sona is made from silicone, you should use water-based lubrication.
How to turn off the Lelo Sona 2 Cruise?
To turn off the device, hold down the middle button.
