Lovehoney Desire Luxury Clitoral Vibrator Review

Personal Experience

Slightly confused at the start

When I first looked at this clit vibrator I assumed the shiny, metal-like part of the toy had to be the bit that was actually used on my clit. Why else would this feature exist? I read the instructions, and they didn’t say otherwise, so I put some water-based lube on it and started cycling through the speeds. I found the vibrations quite intense – so intense that they actually seemed to be making the springs of my mattress vibrate, but they weren’t particularly enjoyable. I also noticed that the up and down buttons were on the opposite ends to what I’ve had on every other toy I’ve used so I thought – am I using this backwards? Then I read the manual again which says, “tapered tip of your vibrator has been lovingly crafted to target your clitoris” (which is an over-the-top description for something mass-produced in a factory in China, but I digress), so I thought, “Maybe I meant to use the more pointed end?” To be honest, if you had given me a toy this shape that didn’t have the shiny bit, I’d immediately have put the pointed end on my clit first, it was only the shiny part that had thrown me, so I spun it around and it started working a lot better!

Intense orgasm on highest level

As someone extremely used to using clitoral suction toys to orgasm, the pure clitoral vibrations were a new sensation, that took some getting used to but I really enjoyed the experience. With the suction toys, I’m used to just placing the toy on my clit and not moving it much as I run up through the levels, which is what I started doing here, but found I got much more pleasure by rubbing the toy back and forth on my clit. It took a bit of time, and I was on the highest vibration level, but when I orgasmed it was extremely intense, and it didn’t leave me with the kind of sensitivity that makes it hard to take the toy away that a suction toy does. I tried the different pulsation settings, and liked that you could increase or decrease the intensity of those as well which isn’t an option on some toys, but generally I find that I prefer the pure vibrations. It was nice, however, that on this toy the pulse patterns were a separate button, so it was harder to accidentally switch to them. The toy said it was pebble-shaped to be used one-handed, and this may work for some who have different shaped vulvas than me, but I personally needed one hand to hold my lips apart, and the other to direct the toy specifically to my clit. I tried one-handed, but couldn’t get the toy in the right placement.

But why the reflection?

Once I discovered the reflective part of the toy wasn’t meant for my clit and turned it around, I was stuck with the fact that it was now reflected a distorted image back at me, which mostly contained my fingers holding my vulva open, my pubic hair, and a tiny bump at the top that was my head. It reminded me of some bathtubs taps that reflect a rounded version of yourself back at you. I’m not a particularly self-conscious person, but it seemed totally unnecessary, and I found it strange that it wasn’t mentioned at all in the manual or on the box. Does this feature do anything? Why does it exist?

Overall thoughts

I thought this toy was a nice option for bringing variety to clitoral toys and gave a great orgasm – you just have to ignore your reflection in it!
