Very loud, very short BT range!
This is my first connected toy and overall a lot of fun. I don’t regret buying it, although I’m glad I bought it during the half price discount because there is a lot of room for improvement (imo with Lovense as a whole)! Lovense’s moto seems to be that they make toys for everyone but I don’t think they’ve heard of non binary and trans folks since their toys are categorized under “man” and “woman”. A better way to go about it is “insertables” vs “penetratables” (other shops do it, you should catch up). I also would have much preferred to get this in black. Not having a choice with the color means that if you don’t vibe with the one color then you have to decide if that’s something you want to put up with (hello dysphoria my old friend). As far as the clitoral stimulation part goes, it suffer from the same problem that most bullet vibes have, which is that it’s trying to put a nub against a nub so only a small area of the clit is being stimulated at once. A clit isn’t a mathematical point and in this day and age it is disappointing that sex toys options aren’t more aware or that. A better option would be to have a round fork like shape that could cup the under side of the clit and go up the sides of it for a much more efficient stimulation. Nub to nub is giving me severe blue balls. Speaking of that, I saw that the Nora was advertised as a “bunny” vibrator, which to me is further proof that Lovense lacks understanding about the clitoris. A proper bunny vibe isn’t just a dual stimulation vibe. It has the bunny ears to act as this fork like thing. That’s the whole point. That’s where the bunny comes from lol. For the bluetooth range of the toy, here I am actually very disappointed. I think the Flexer page mention a 30-40 feet range? And we are FAR off. The only way I can have a great signal is with my phone at crotch level and my legs SPREAD OPEN. If I close my thighs (as in, just standing normally) I loose a majority of the signal, even with the phone being right there at pocket level. If I bring my phone up to my face, now the signal is at its weakest, and if I have the nerve to hold a pillow while I do so, I’ll deal with interrupted signal every now and then! If I put the phone down and turn around to grab something 2-3 feet away, I loose the signal. That’s it. 2-3 feet is all the range you have with this toy when it’s inserted. Finally, my last point of disappointment with this toy is the noise. The page for the Flexer shows public scenes and the box says “quiet”, but you can forget about that all together! When I bought it I was planning to wear it for bicycle rides, well, I’m not doing that anytime soon! When I say this thing is loud, I mean, I find it distracting and I worry the neighbors can hear it kinda loud. I kid you not, even with all my flesh around it, this thing raises the dead!! Not ideal for an experience that ought to be intimate. For the more positive things, I am satisfied with the strength of the vibration. I always want more, but in all honesty this is pretty good there. The fingering motion is also a fun feature. I wish it could go faster and squeeze tighter, but I can appreciate how there’s a fine line to walk to develop this kind of toy without making something that might break someone’s pelvis. The “come hither” feels pretty accurate to me and it kinda results in some very shallow thrusting that I find interesting. The insertable end of it feels a little “pokey” for my taste, but not to a problematic extent. I think I would have preferred a more rounded/flat end and maybe a tad more length, but I enjoy c-spot stimulation more than g-spot so that’s just a matter of personal preference, not so much an issue with the toy itself. Finally, I’d like to mention the app, since it’s a big part of the use (if not the whole point). I find it pretty well made and easy to understand. I didn’t spend a lot of time with the controller itself or making patterns, I very quickly made an account and started giving control to random strangers from all over the world, and the ways to make links have allowed me to to set things up to get exactly what I wanted, so that part is very well made!
