My verdict
The Lovense Solace Pro is an amazing toy that I would recommend to anyone looking to take things to the next level with their sex toys. This toy does almost everything right: it's simple to use, incorporates some pretty advanced AI technology, and most importantly, it feels amazing. While I would recommend this toy to anyone who has a penis, there are some shortcomings, specifically its enjoyability in certain situations and the AI sync function. But overall, this is my new favorite sex toy and there's a high chance that it'll be yours, too.
- Pros
- Extremely easy to use and adjust.
- The stroking feels great with the provided sleeve.
- The toy has fun sync functions with videos and partners.
- The device is quieter than expected.
- Very easy to clean.
- Cons
- The AI sync function isn't exactly accurate.
- It might be difficult to fully enjoy in an environment where you don't have access to a desk.

Design
This machine has a sleek and simple look to it. If you saw it at a glance, it might not even pass as a sex toy (with the caps on). The entrance is wide, compared to most sex toys. I personally enjoy this because I prefer the feeling of stroking rather than the feeling of tightness. The inside of the sleeve is also fairly loose, compared to other masturbators. I couldn't find a photo of the texture, but there are lots of bumps and ridges that are sparingly placed.
The two compatible apps were well-designed and easy to use. One of those being the Lovense Remote app, which lets you (or others) remotely control the toy and sync it with other people. The other being the VibeMate app, which can sync the toy's stroking to match porn on most popular sites.
The buttons on the machine were easy to press and simple to understand.
Experience
I had an amazing experience with this toy. While it was mostly good, there were some slight downsides. Let's start with the pros first.
Firstly, it was extremely easy to use and adjust. The buttons were so intuitive that I was ready to go within minutes of opening the box.
The included desk mount was also easy to put on my desk. I have a pretty thick desk, so I was afraid it wouldn't fit. Rest assured, it was a great fit and it would probably fit desks much thicker than mine. The manual says that the maximum desk thickness is 55 mm (2.1 inches). You could adjust the mount up and down, so you can use this toy while standing or laying back.
The stroking was amazing. The range of motion and the speed choices were great. It was fun experimenting with the default settings on the machine. If you're looking for more personalization, then the app can get those in-between speeds and motions that you're looking for.
Like I said earlier, I prefer the feeling of stroking rather than the feeling of tightness. That's why I loved the included sleeve. It had a wide entrance and chamber that wasn't too intense at all. My length is above average and my girth is slightly above average and I still felt like there was some wiggle room within the sleeve.
It also had a very luxurious feel to it. I don't like to describe sex toys as feeling realistic, since the real thing is so different, but I would describe this as feeling closer to a blowjob rather than penetration if I had to.
Moving on to the AI function, which is the big sale of this machine, I would say that it's... okay. The Vibemate app is supposed to use AI to sync your machine to porn. While it worked, it wasn't perfect. The toy's promotional material clearly states that the video you're watching is supposed to be so clear to their AI model that there's no doubt about what's happening on screen. But the positions these actors get into are so crazy and nuanced that it's a little difficult for the AI to understand exactly what's going on, so it kinda does some guesswork. Even if it's clear as day to you, then it's still a hit or miss with the AI. It's pretty cool when it works, especially if you're wearing a VR headset. But if you're anything like me, you're going to be a little thrown off and distracted when it doesn't sync.
Honestly, this isn't too big of a deal for me. I wasn't really sold on this machine because of the porn AI functionalities, so it still served a purpose to me. But if that's the reason you're going into this toy, then you might want to hold off on it a bit. Lovense stated that they will continuously make updates to the AI (by updating the app, not the machine). So it's likely that things will get better a bit down the line.
However, the advanced tech doesn't stop at AI. You can still sync this toy to other toys or let other people control it. I haven't had the chance to do either of these, but they definitely sound fun. People can share patterns they've created in the app, and I was able to experiment with those. I'd imagine that it's extremely fun to let a partner control this toy over voice chat and communicate about your preferences.
There were also tons of games that sync with your toy. I didn't feel like doing so I skipped on those. You're also able to sync the toy to YouTube videos and music, which weren't really my thing so I skipped out on those as well.
I will say that the biggest drawback to this toy is the fact that it's a little difficult to use with your hands. As you can tell in the picture, the gray console powers the movement of the sleeve. So you mount the console to the desk mount and control everything with the console. Essentially, the console just moves the sleeve for you. This sounds fine, until you realize that it's difficult to use this toy's automatic functions if you're lying down. It works okay if you're standing or sideways, but even then, it still bounces around a bit and can ruin the fun. If you're lying down and holding the toy with your hand, it's horrible. The console just kinda takes your hand up and down with it, leaving the sleeve stationary. Even if you hold it really tightly, then you're just focusing on holding the console in place so that the sleeve can go up and down instead of focusing on the pleasure that you're supposed to feel.
This is definitely my favorite toy... most of the time. That is when I'm in my room with my desk so that I can mount this toy there and get the full experience. Otherwise, I'd go with something a bit more portable or less involved.
Quality
The machine was luxuriously high-quality. From the console to the sleeve. It was all an amazing experience and I can tell that this machine is going to last long.
Price
This toy retails for $398... which is kinda steep. Luckily, Toychats provided the toy for me and since we got it during the promotional period, it was $189. This period ends on September 17th, which has probably passed by the time you're reading this.
Would I pay $398 for this thing? I think I would. I would probably stop buying other sex toys in favor of saving up for this one. It's an amazing machine. I'm going to look forward to coming home after work and treating myself with this toy. It's a luxury price for a luxury toy. Again, if you're going into this toy because of the AI sync functionality, then I'd wait a few months until it's working better.
Performance
Lovense says that you can charge this toy for 2 hours and use it for 14. Out of the box, it was at 65%. I used it for about an hour and it went down about 5%. I used it at a very low speed but with a longer stroke length. The speed probably has more of an impact on the battery life, but I was still impressed at how little battery I took up with my session. You can charge this toy with a USB-C port.
Packaging
The toy was very nicely packaged. The box was pretty bulky and had a nice feel to it. A styrofoam wrap kept the toy safe and sound during shipping. Inside of the box was the console, the sleeve and its case, the desk mount with its key, the piece connecting the console and the sleeve case, a USB-C cable, a user manual, and a nice bag for storage. I kept my sleeve and its case in the bag and put everything else back in the box.
Materials and care
This toy was so easy to clean. Once I was done, I unscrewed the cap at the end (both ends have a cap) and simply pulled out the sleeve. I rinsed it, then flipped it inside out to pat dry. This sleeve was so easy to flip inside out. Most sleeves are somewhat difficult to turn inside out, but it was effortless with this sleeve.
I would say that it was probably the easiest toy I've cleaned! Kudos to the Lovense team for making this experience very easy.
