There’s a new Lush vibrator in town!
Lovense is proving yet again that it’s more than possible to make a good thing even better with the newest addition to their popular Lush vibrator line, the Lush 3.
But is it really that good? Or is everything just a marketing ploy? In this review, we’ll share with you everything we know about the Lush 3, how much it has improved, and if it’s worth upgrading to if you already have the Lush 2.
About the Lush 3 by Lovense
Lovense has some of the best sex toys in the market. They have a toy for every need. But what really sets them apart from their competitors is they actually listen to customer feedback and use that to improve their sex toys—like what they did with their Lush vibrator line.
The first-gen Lush model was considered a breakthrough in the adult sex toy industry, but it’s not without flaws. So Lovense made it even better with the newer Lush version. Each new model promises to be better than the old one, making the Lush 3 the best version yet in their egg vibrator collection.
Lush 3 Review: 8 Reasons Why We Love It
Why do we love the Lovense Lush 3? We’ll give you not one but eight reasons why you should add this wearable toy to your collection.
1. Comfortable and Ergonomic Design
The Lush 3 is a lightweight and compact toy you can bring with you anywhere. In fact, it’s lighter than the Lush 2 by a few grams. But it isn’t exactly small for an insertable Bluetooth remote control vibrator. It’s gonna take up a lot of space inside your vajayjay, but that’s exactly what it’s supposed to do—it’s designed to press into your G-spot. Fortunately, it isn’t as uncomfortable as you may think, as long as you use enough water-based lube before inserting it.
It’s slightly bigger than the Lush 2, but the size difference is negligible. What really struck us was how Lovense redesigned the tail part to prevent it from slipping out, which was a common problem with the Lush 2. Simply put, the fixed tail makes the toy stay in place even if you’re on the move. Some women find it a little too big, but the flexible and form-fitting antenna on this toy helps with comfort, especially for extended wear.
Just like the Lush 2, you’ll find the Lush 3’s button control on its tail. Some people may raise an eyebrow at its seemingly awkward position. But it’s actually quite brilliant as it makes it easy for you to switch the toy on/off or cycle through the vibrations manually during solo play.
The Lovense Lush 3’s ergonomic design makes it comfortable to play with. However, it isn’t for anal play. Lovense has tons of sex toys designed specifically for butt play. For your safety, we highly advise you get one of those if you really want some backdoor fun instead of experimenting with the Lush 3.
2. Strong and Intense Vibrations
For something so tiny, the Lovense Lush 3 packs a real punch. In fact, it has the most powerful, rumbly vibrations out of all the wearable egg vibrators we’ve tried. Not super hardcore intense like a wand, but strong enough to give your G-spot a good massage.
It has seven built-in vibration patterns you can shuffle through by clicking the control button on the antenna one at a time. You can also adjust the speed levels of the four preset vibration patterns: Wave, Pulse, Earthquake, and Fireworks.
The only downside is that it doesn’t have any direct clitoral stimulation. If you need external stimulation, you can partner your Lush 3 with a bullet vibrator. Additionally, it didn’t get a motor upgrade, so you won’t feel a lot of difference if you have the Lush 2.
3. 100% Waterproof
‘Like the previous version, the Lush 3 is IPX7 waterproof, meaning you can fully submerge it up to one meter in water for half an hour without damaging it. This makes it a great toy for some wet and wild playtime in the bath or a pool either solo or with a partner. And, as a bonus, this feature also makes it easy to clean.
4. Ultra Quiet
It’s hard to believe that a vibrator can be both powerful and quiet, but that’s just what the Lush 3 is. Lovense claims that its highest sound level is only around 43 dB. So we put it to the test and we found that its loudest sound is about 50 dB, which isn’t so bad. You’ll still hear it rumble but it’s still pretty quiet compared to most sex toys.
Take note, we did the sound test with the Lush 3 straight out of the box, not inserted. That means it’s even quieter when safely nestled under layers of tissue, skin, and clothing. People will hardly notice if you use it in crowded places, such as a restaurant or the supermarket. This makes it the best toy for a little bit of discreet public play. Of course, taking it to a library and expecting it not to be heard is a bit of a stretch.
Also, if you’re sitting on the same couch with someone in a quiet room with very little ambient noise, they will hear and feel the vibrations. Even if you sit on different chairs five feet away from people, they’ll still hear it.
5. App-Controlled
The control button itself on the Lush 3 already gives you seven amazing vibe patterns. But the magic really happens when you connect the toy to the free Lovense Remote app. You can use it for close-range via Bluetooth or long-distance play via the internet.
This app lets you customize unlimited vibration patterns and sync the vibrations to music. So get yourself ready to groove with your love and sex playlist. Take note, the vibes will follow the song’s rhythm changes, not the volume.
You can add multiple partners to the app, but it can only be controlled by one partner at a time. Fortunately, it’s very easy to add and delete users at different times. If you have other Lovense toys, you can also connect that to this app.
Setting up and connecting your toy to the app is easy. Of course, there’s a learning curve, especially if you’re a teledildonic beginner. But you’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly.
6. Longer Battery Life
The Lovense Lush 3 has up to five hours of life on a single full charge, which is a far cry from the Lush 2’s three-hour battery life. It’s one of the longest battery life on a wearable egg vibrator we’ve seen so far. It does take around 85 minutes to fully charge the toy, which is a pretty long time.
But for five hours of uninterrupted play? We’re willing to wait that long. Those five hours aren’t set in stone, though. How long your battery lasts will depend on how you use the toy. The higher the vibration settings, the faster it’ll deplete the battery charge.
7. Magnetic Charging
The Lush 2 has a USB plug-in charging port, which is really fine. The toy is still waterproof despite the pinhole. But there’s always the risk that water may enter that small gateway. Plus, it was located in the insertable end of the toy, which made quite a few people unhappy. So this time around, Lovense made the Lush 3’s charging port magnetic and relocated it on the tail part.
Normally, we’re not a fan of magnetic chargers because the connection can be a little fickle. And that does happen with the Lush 3 from time to time. The magnetic charging cable tends to disconnect now and then, especially when it gets jostled. But the port’s flat design helps keep it more stable. Also, it does make the toy safer and more hygienic.
8. Improved Connectivity
Aside from the longer battery life and change to a magnetic charging port, the other significant change we’ve noticed on the Lovense Lush 3 is its Bluetooth upgrade. Connection is more steady than the previous models.
Now you get a more stable connection for better partner control in close-range settings. It’s not perfect—you might still experience connection drops now and then. We did experience a few glitches but we got reconnected quickly. So far, there was also no buffering or lagging.

How to Clean and Care for Your Lush 3
The Lovense Lush 3 is made from durable, body-safe silicone. But even the toughest material can get damaged if you don’t take care of it. Here are a few tips on how you can prolong the life of your sex toy.
- Wash it with mild soap and warm water. You can also use a sex toy cleaner.
- Air dry or dry it with a soft towel. Make sure it’s completely dry before storing it.
- Keep it away from extreme temperatures. Don’t put it in direct sunlight or inside the fridge to cool down its surface. If you want to experiment with temperature play, we suggest you use a glass sex toy instead.
- Do not boil in water as the battery may explode. Water could also leak into the toy.
- Use water-based lubricants only to avoid damaging the silicone exterior of your Lush 3.
- Recharge your toy at least once every six months to keep the batteries from going bad.
The New and Improved Lush 3 Bluetooth
The Lush vibrators are all amazing. But the first two versions have had troubles with Bluetooth connection. Now, for the third iteration, Lovense completely revamped the antenna and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) to give you a better connection compared to the Lush 2. Now as you get closer to orgasm, you no longer have to worry about the toy suddenly disconnecting.
Aside from the more stable connection, the Lovense Lush 3 also has the longest close-range control out of all the Bluetooth wearable vibrators we’ve tried. It has a sitting range of 20 to 25 feet and a standing range of up to 43 feet.
Lush 3 Video: Making Distance Play More Fun and Exciting
If intense vibration is what you’re after, the Lush 3 won’t disappoint. But it offers more than just a mind-boggling G-spot massage. Did you know that the Lovense app has a chat function where you can send text and voice messages like you would on a regular phone?
If you want live interaction, you can also voice call or video chat with your partner while they control your toy. Keeping intimacy alive with your partner shouldn’t be a problem anymore even if you’re miles apart with the Lush 3.
Only the toy owner has a screen recording function on the app, but the other person may use a third-party recording app. So always practice safety measures whenever engaging in any sort of online sexual activity.
Lush 3 Reviews: What Others are Saying
This powerful vibrator has other people raving about it too. It’s not just us. Check out the reviews on Amazon so you have an idea what other users think about their Lush 3.
Of course, it’s impossible to please everyone, so you’ll find a few negative reviews about the Lush 3. Different people have different preferences after all. But most consumers, including us, agree that you won’t regret buying this Lovense toy. People are happy with the battery life extension. It’s also nice to know that whatever you say, whether good or bad, you can count on Lovense to listen to your feedback.
Final Verdict: Is It Worth Upgrading to the Lush 3 Toy?
Lovense managed to exceed expectations with the Lush 3. You get a better Bluetooth connection, longer battery life, and a revamped antenna to prevent the toy from slipping out. It’s also equipped with a magnetic charging port instead of a pinhole.
If it’s your first time buying a Lush vibrator, we say go for the latest model. Because with Lovense, you can be sure that their newest models will always be better than the previous ones. But if you have the Lush 2 and are still feeling attached to it, you don’t necessarily have to upgrade right away.
