Design

The design is sleek and highly engineered - perhaps too highly engineered. My first thought when opening the box was that it looked more like dental equipment than a sex toy. I often describe modern sex toy design as clinical, and the Lovense Hyphy is no exception. In an attempt to be inoffensive, discreet, and to appear as expensive as possible, companies have caved to the Apple-fication of production design, favoring a bland aesthetic over visual interest. While I completely understand the need for this, sometimes I wonder if companies could be doing more in the visual design to make their products pop on the market.

Ease of Use

The Lovense Hyphy is very easy to use. Turning it on required a peek at the instructions and wasn't immediately intuitive, but the rest of the set-up works just like other toys on the market. It has buttons to direct speed and intensity, it has an easy-to-use app with enhanced tools, changing the attachments is as easy as replacing the head on a toothbrush, and it has a simple charging apparatus. That is one of the Lovense Hyphy's greatest strengths - it works like any other toy, but the intensity, quality, and variety truly make it stand out as one of the best products I've ever tested.

Quality

Everything about the Lovense Hyphy screams "quality." From the body-safe materials to the picturebox window charging/carrying case to the high attention to detail in the app design and the attachment design, this highly versatile toy has all the hallmarks of a must-have product. Its clear that Lovense put their all into this toy, and it shows.

Price

At a regular price of $199, the price tag on this toy may initially seem high. However, for an all-in-one sex toy solution that is both insertable and clitorally stimulating, has remote and app-controlled capabilities, includes three attachment and a chargeable carrying case, the price tag is in line with, if not better priced, than many similar toys on the market. The level of quality on the Lovense Hyphy truly cannot be overstated, and, in my opinion, it is worth every penny.

Performance

The Lovense Hyphy performs incredibly well. Without any warm-up and without any horny thoughts or vibes, the Lovense Hyphy's clitoral stimulator gave me an orgasm in twelve seconds. The insertable end of the Lovense Hyphy has become one of my most reliable tools. Comfortable and elegant, easy to insert, and easy to control with the Lovense Remote, it allows for an excellent experience every time. However, due its intensity, I quickly realized that the clitoral stimulator wouldn't make its way into my usual rotation of toy play. The lowest setting of the Lovense Hyphy clitoral stimulation is still faster and harder than any toy I've ever used before, and as a consequence, after using it three times in one day, I found myself sore and uncomfortable. The battery life is another minor point of frustration. While the chargeable carrying case is excellent, the battery life of the Lovense Hyphy isn't as long as I'd like it to be.

Packaging

The packaging of the sex toy is simple and classy. With muted, neutral colors and simple design, unboxing the Lovense Hyphy was more like unboxing an iPhone. It felt like an elite product, like opening it was an Event - and it heightened the anticipation I felt to try it out. The included instructions were very clear on how to turn the toy on, how to use it, and how to charge it, making it immediately useable right out of the box.

Materials and care

The materials of the Lovense Hyphy are body-safe. With CE certification, it complies with EU standards and regulations for customer safety. It is light enough to be maneuverable, but heavy enough to feel durable and first-class. The Lovense Hyphy is waterproof, and is very easy to clean with normal sex toy cleaner. The handy storage box, which doubles as a charging station, makes it easy to stay clean, too.

Special feature

The Lovense Remote App is the pièce de ré·sis·tance for the Lovense Hyphy. Available via your phone’s app store, it has literally hundreds of features to keep play fun and interesting. My partner could download  the app, too, and connect to my Lovense Hyphy vibrator from literally anywhere in the world. While on a business trip, I asked my partner to control me from over 600 miles away…and the results were as orgasmic as it would have been if he’d been right beside me. The app also has pre-set modes you can try on yourself. Do you want to be teased? Denied? Blasted to orgasm after orgasm? With the press of a button, the pre-set modes will control your toy, doing all of the work for you. Another fun feature is their random, anonymous matching program. Essentially, you enter your preferences (chat or no chat, sex/gender of your partner, etc), and the app hands you the control to their toy…and gives them control of yours. I had mixed levels of success with this function – some amazing orgasms and some frustrating “left of the edge” experiences – but overall, it’s a fun, exciting way to indulge in a loss of control and some no-strings-attached exhibitionism-without-the-exhibitionism.
