Lovehoney Dual Embrace Review

Personal Experience

When I saw the Lovehoney Dual Embrace and all of its features, I was extremely excited to get it. I’ve never used a toy with a clit suction so this intrigued me to most since I can usually only orgasm with clit stimulation. I watched the tracking and my partner woke me up the day it was to arrive with a “New Toy Day” song. I heard the doorbell and knew exactly what would be waiting for me.

Verdict

Design

This toy looks expensive. The black just adds to that appearance. The silicone is soft and molded beautifully. As someone with sensitive skin and allergies, I appreciate that it's Latex- and Phthalate-Free. The curve of the handle makes it easy to hold and handle, even with wet hands. If you have mobility issues, this toy is a little heavier and difficult to place. The biggest problem I had was that the suction didn't stay on my clit when I finally got it in the right spot.

Ease of Use

The position of the clitoral suction stimulator lines up to me well, but is difficult to place and doesn't stay during use. If you are someone with mobility or grip issues, this isn't the toy for you. The buttons are a bit complicated but once you know which ones do what they are conveniently located and easy to press through while in position.

Quality

This toy is made well and durable. It looks expensive and could probably be used regularly without showing signs of wear-and-tear. The vibrations are not silent, but I wouldn't worry about anyone in the next room hearing them.

Price

Not the most expensive toy I've purchased by far, but also not cheap. The amount of features you get makes the price seem reasonable. If you haven't tried a clitoral suction toy before and you're not sure if you will enjoy it, you may want to start with something a little less expensive before jumping in on this one.

Performance

In the end, I was left unsatisfied. The suction was hard to place and dislodged with even minor movement. The vibrations from the wand were pleasurable and not extremely loud, but lessened the clitoral stimulation when they were on. The warming feature made the shaft very hot if left on, so it's like you're on a timer to make sure you finish within 15 minutes.

Packaging

The Lovehoney Dual Embrace came in a pretty, purple box with a lot of information about its features. If I were shopping at a store instead of online, my eye would have been drawn to the packaging. It also described all of it's features well enough to help me make the decision to get it.

Materials and care

The Latex-Free, Phthalate-Free silicone is soft and smooth, making it slide in easily. The toy itself is heavier than other wands I've used but not cumbersome. While I didn't use it in the bath, LoveHoney describes it as "submersible" in water, meaning that it is fully waterproof.

Special feature

This is the first toy I’ve seen with a warming feature in the shaft. I wasn’t sure if I’d like that, but the heat gave it a little extra during use, especially on a cold, winter night. The slowly increasing temperature mixed with the different vibration levels and speeds can offer an enhanced experience.
