If you’re curious about thrusting male masturbators, and you’ve heard the name “Lovense Solace” floating around the internet, you’re in the right place. This review article will break down everything you need to know about this sex toy – including technical specs, app connections, pros/cons, who it’s best for, and other vital tips. This way, you can make an informed decision about where your hard-earned money goes.
So, let’s take a magnifying glass to all things Solace!
What is Lovense Solace?
Solace is an automatic thrusting male masturbator that you can hold or use the included mounting hardware to affix to a desk or table to make it hands-free. It can go up to 280 strokes per minute and has a max adjustable thrust depth of 70mm (2.76″). For a quick rundown here’s a handy video…
Unboxing and First Impressions
The insides were pretty much what I expected. It had the toy, the plastic insert, and the fitted box to hold the extras. But for some reason, I was surprised at how big this bad boy was – at least compared to the other boxes I’ve received in the past. But I guess it makes sense. And it’s not a pro or a con, just an interesting point.
What’s in the Box?
Inside, you’ll find the standard collection but with a few new parts:
- Lovense Solace automatic thrusting male masturbator
- Clear TPE Neutral hole sleeve
- USB charging cable
- Mounting parts
- Multi-language user manual
- A silk baggie to store the toy
Packaging Quality & Discreet Shipping
- Toy packaging is different from the usual foam cutout, now using a plastic holder.
- Solace’s plastic holder appears slightly on the thin side, but I’m assuming that’s because the box does most of the protecting.
- Lovense ships its products discreetly for privacy, with plain cardboard outer boxes and generic company names on shipping labels.
- The discreet packaging even works well if you intend to give it as a gift.
All the Technical Stuff
I was also surprised with the masturbator’s sound levels. Granted, the “highest” (where both dials on the app were up to 100%) isn’t something you wouldn’t expect the person in the next room not to hear in some way. But Solace isn’t a discreet public toy. It’s something to keep at home and attached to whatever your computer sits on. As for the medium and low noise levels, I was impressed. They were fairly decent and comparable to other Lovense toy sound levels.

App and Digital Capabilities
Solace Connection Options
There are many ways to control Lovense toys. But Solace has one unique way that is only available to a small number of their sex toys. Let’s look at all the options…
- Close Range Control – I’m assuming this through the app with the emphasis that you can use it with someone else’s toy or a second of your own toy. There is no mention of Bluetooth on the site so far.
- Long-Distance Control – Couples who are far apart and want to experience intimacy have this wonderful option. Just sync your toy through the Remote App.
- Long-Distance Sex – This is where Solace has an advantage. It’s one of the exclusive toys that will sync with each other’s movements (without having to use the app control panel). The other toys that are compatible with this are Nora, Max 2, and Calor.
- Local Control – Anyone who doesn’t want to go the tech route can just use the buttons. You don’t have to connect to Lovense Remote at all to use the toy. You just can’t use the goodies.

App Adventures
Besides standard ways to connect, here are the other ways you can play with Solace thrusting masturbator…
- Solace can enhance erotic audiobooks, making the stories wonderfully tactile.
- Vibes sync with music, turning any song into a sensory experience.
- Music video interaction adds a sexy twist with synced vibes.
- Sound Sync matches the stroking rhythm to ambient noises for immersive sensations.
- Explore steamy scenes in partnered X-rated computer games for an in-game thrill.
- Experience interactive VR porn with synchronized vibrations.
- Car Sync intensifies vibes based on your car’s speed, with safety as a priority (passenger use).
In particular, interactive gaming and porn will be excellent pairings with Solace. Not only for the hands-free aspect but for the variety of intensities and programmable “patterns”.
Fun Fact: Lovense toys sync REALLY well with Dubstep – that is if you want to feel the beats on-point. Or if you want steady thrusts, pick something with a steady beat.
My Testing Experiences
Design & Build Quality
Even if I don’t have a dingdong to stick into male toys, I have dildos and years of experience with sex toys.
- First, some might be turned off by the “lightness” of the toy. Because we all like to equate heaviness with expense and quality. But I was impressed they got the toy to do all it could without making it into a brick.
- Second, as expected, the design is sleek and simple. The end cap hides the sleeve and keeps things clean.
- Third, the TPE sleeve was very soft. And with lube, I could imagine some very happy guys out there.
- From what I see, the hands-free feature offers convenience but also opens up a realm of possibilities for solo play or long-distance interactions.
- The ergonomic structure is thoughtfully crafted to align with the body’s contours, ensuring comfort and effortless usage.
Patterns, & Intensity
Normally, with (I think) every other toy we have 3 steady power levels and 10 patterns. But it seems we’ve veered from the traditional numbers and gone with a higher range of stroke speeds.
Perhaps this is because most men and women’s feedback on many sex toys is that they prefer steady stimulation. (Unless, of course, you’re doing some fun and kinky things). Also, it might just be the nature of the toys that the normal 3/10 isn’t needed.
Pleasure & Comfort
Solace is fairly light. So if you want to use it by hand you’ll be good for a long while. But I would still recommend using the mounting brackets that are included in the box. The setup lets you rotate the toy downwards so you can get any angle your doodle needs. That in and of itself is a huge plus.
Then there are the sleeves. The clear, neutral hole is standard, but you can buy the vaginal hole for a slightly tighter and more natural feel.
“The amount of force was incredible. I liked the way you could control the various patterns with the Lovense app, and I really like all the stroke speed and depth, you could get a nice deep thrust or a fast teasing of the head of the penis. ~ Ollie”
Battery Life & Charging
Here’s where I had to do a double-take at the numbers. 100:750 minutes of recharge vs use time (respectively). I’m not sure you’ll find a toy that can beat that in terms of pleasure/life. And I don’t even mind they don’t have the magnetic charging port for this version yet. This is amazing.
Price Point
The price point is what you would expect. The early bird special for the launch release was $179.00 – not too bad. Especially considering the battery life, app goodies, etc.

What Else Can You Do With Lovense Solace?
Yes, there are all the apps and goodies that come with it. But there are two more things that many people might not know. Throughout the year, Lovense has regular Twitter orgies, where your consensually connected toy will react with various vibrations depending on what hashtags are listed. Second, there are also Lovense Discord orgies that follow the same idea but have a different way to interact.
But now, imagine hooking up Solace with another toy and feeling the fireworks go off as people flood in the commands.

Who Is Solace For?
Solace is perfect for those who want to step up their masturbation game – and possibly already have a masturbator but not a hands-free one. They want to experience adult media in ways that only the newest tech has made possible – like feeling the thrusts of the main character while watching a steamy scene.
It’s excellent for those who don’t want to hold a toy because they would rather use their hands for different things.
Also, Solace male thrusting masturbator is a good choice for those who are comfortable with the Lovense and the guarantees that come with the brand and the unique connectivity you get through the app.
“A truly amazing device, the thrusting was incredibly pleasurable and love how forceful and fast it can get. Super stimulating and also able to run slow and edge one’s penis incredibly well to the point of orgasm. I had so much fun with this toy and could not stop using it.” ~ Jake, Lovense user

Final Thoughts
All in all, Lovense Solace is another solid addition to the Lovense collection. It’s one of the few toys I wish I had a penis to actually try it out on (although there is Lovense Gravity, but you know what I mean). I like the simple design and the mountain of fun stuff you can do with it. The hands-free and desk/table mount are winners as is the decent sound level.
My only nitpick is I wish they would go back to foam-protective cutouts. But that’s me just being really picky
My rating 9/10 – Minus 0.5 for the plastic holder (yes, I’m going to die on that hill) and 0.5 for the highest noise levels (which aren’t bad at all but you’ll need to turn on some music if you have roommates, etc.
