New Lovense Solace Pro AI Stroker Full Review
Another brand new automatic male stroker? I'm thrilled! The Solace Pro looks and feels premium. At first sight? It seems like yet another revolutionary sex toy has been released đ, and I'm all there for it!
I can't wait to dive in and tell you all about the brand-new Lovense Solace Pro, released just a few days ago!
Introducing Lovense Orgy
Get ready for another Lovense Orgy! By connecting to the online orgy, your Lovense toys will react (vibrate/thrust/...) whenever people tweet hashtags, making for exactly that, one big online orgy đ. Wear your Lovense toys and enjoy the ride đ.
The orgy starts on September 27 and only lasts for one day, so make sure not to miss it! Lovense organizes these orgies a few times a year, it's a cool concept that ends up really fun.
Lovense has been kind enough to provide the Solace Pro in exchange for an honest review. Affiliate links in this review help support me with running costs, as always â I am truly grateful for your support đĨ°.
Packaging
The Solace Pro is well-packaged in a cardboard box with foam around it to keep it safe. It was shipped discreetly.
It is a big box, and seeing the shape of the toy, I won't be reusing it to store it. I might use it to store some other toys or cables, though!
The entire box is hygiene-sealed using plastic wrap. Lovense is a very reputed brand; as long as you buy from a trusted retailer, you will be fine!
The Solace Pro is very well-packaged with foam in all the right places.
The box contains:
- Desk mount clamps and screws
- The Solace Pro body, which includes the motors and buttons
- The Solace Pro sleeve and case
- A USB charging cable, instruction manual
- A typical Lovense storage bag
There's so many angles and features to show on this sex toy, so you know what, here's some more photos đ. This toy truly feels premium.
The included sleeve lies inside a detachable case:
Let's dive into it!
What does it do?
It's much easier to show you what it does than to explain it!
Specs
According to Lovense's website:
- Up to 300 strokes per minute
- Thrusting up to 3.11â / 79mm depth
- Minimum thrust adjustment of 0.03" /1mm (!)
- Compatible with VR
- Hands-free thanks to the included desk-mount
- Battery life of up to 14 hours with an estimated 2-hour charging time
- Weighs 1.2kg
Compared to the previously released Solace, the Solace Pro has some significant improvements:
- đī¸ Thrust speed improved from 280 to 300 strokes per min
- đ Better battery life
- âī¸ Most importantly a minimum thrust adjustment of 1mm instead of 30mm! Meaning it can make much more precise movements đ â this is super important for a more realistic experience đ.
Features
It's hard to know where to begin! The Solace Pro is so feature-packed that I could go on and on about it â but that would be too much text to read â and nobody wants to read a book just to get a sex toy đ. Instead, let's go over the most important points!
Desk Mount
The Solace Pro comes with a very sturdy and well-padded desk mount. Following the manual, it takes less than 5 minutes to get it ready the first time. The next time, you can easily get it all set up in under a minute.
I'm delighted that the desk mount is well-padded with foam, meaning my desk won't get scratched from uhum.. heavy duty, machinery work đ. I guess that could be my new job title as a sex toy reviewer!
Can you use the Solace Pro for a fully hands-free experience? Yes! In fact that's the best way you can enjoy it. The Solace Pro was built for a hands-free experience. I didn't have to touch or hold anything during my sessions, I just let the Solace Pro do its thing while I was enjoying videos that it synced with.
Lovense AI Sync â Sync to Videos
Using the Vibemate app, you can sync the Solace Pro to a large list of porn sites â out of the box, free of charge. Vibemate works on mobile phone or PC.
The AI Sync feature is still in beta-phase, and sometimes does come with quirks. In general it works well, and some scenes can be incredibly immersive and realistic. Those moments truly take my breathe away.
Having those moments of full immersion while watching your favorite actresses from a popular porn site is a feeling that cannot be described and you'll need to experience for yourself.
However, some other scenes, the AI gets too sensitive, or gets triggered due to some other objects moving in the scene.
Considering it's a free AI video sync, and it works out of the box, I am still very impressed. It's able to keep me entertained, sometimes even too much that I can't handle it! In general, it is well-balanced but do expect quirks here and there.
It already feels great with full-depth thrusts, but with the precision the Solace Pro brings, having a dynamic range of accurate thrust depth according to the video's contents would be amazing. Potentially it could be a limitation of the AI model?
Imagine those fast half-thrusts following the video's contents, that would be crazy! There's definitely still some opportunities here.
Lovense Interactive Games
Yes! The Solace Pro can also be linked to interactive games. I've personally tried Wild Life and Breeders of the Nephelym with the Max 2 â both which were awesome, free and recommended.
Be careful though, in Breeders of the Nephelym, the sex demons will do anything they can to milk you dry đ¤.
Sync to Lovense Nora for Couples
Searching for a sex toy for long-distance relationships? Here's what you need to know.
With the Max 2 contracting masturbator [review, product page], when the Max 2 is moved, the Nora â female vibrator by Lovense â responds, and also the other way around.
The Solace Pro however, does not have sensors, meaning that the motions from the Nora will be sent to the Solace Pro, but not the other way around.
In my opinion, the Solace Pro feels better than the Max 2, because I simply prefer automatic thrusting of the Solace Pro to the automatic contractions from the Max 2. If you really want this intimate toy syncing feature, the Max 2 could still be a better fit for you.
I don't have a Nora to test this out, but so far this is my understanding đ.
Other ways to play
The Lovense Remote app allows you to:
- Sync to music
- Sync to the sound picked up by your phone microphone â with full stroke depth only at this moment
- Use control roulette to control a stranger's toys
- Share a link to anybody to control your toy
Noise Level
With my first measurement, with the sound meter right next to the Solace Pro + the Lovense Solace Pro mounted on my desk:
- Low-Med: 64dB
- Medium 70dB
- High: 77dB with short peaks to 80dB
I realized my desk was resonating some of the noise - so depending on your desktop material your results may vary. Hand-held, my results ended up 3-5dB lower.
Also note, the noise level fluctuates a lot as it is a stroker. There is a noise while the toy is being dragged and a bumping noise once it reaches either the top or the bottom end of the toy.
My partner was able to hear the noise from outside the room, but take into account I wasn't playing any music to cover it, and the sound isolation here isn't great.
When compared, it is slightly louder than the Keon. If you want only the quietest experience, this is something to consider, although it's not a huge difference.
Sleeve
The sleeve looks and feels excellent, with a neutral entrance that gives room for fantasy. It's a TPE sleeve as most male masturbators, and it is slightly more rigid than what I'm used to, but that's something I ended up liking.
Sleeve Texture
This sleeve has a fantastic texture that got me very excited! Just enough to keep me well-stimulated, and just enough to feel realistic, very well-balanced, hats off to Lovense for that đĨŗ.
Sleeve size
However, size! The Solace Pro sleeve is quite tight during first-time use, and reminds me of the Max 2 sleeve tightness. Fear not though, after one use, it got so much better and wasn't too tight anymore! This is a sleeve that needs a few uses before you can truly enjoy it.
That being said, it is still a little tighter than I would've preferred, but it's not to the point that it really bothers me. I can fully enjoy the Solace Pro now. You will have a similar experience if you are well-endowed.
More sleeves?!
There's so much potential in the Solace Pro! Since it's new, I don't think people realize it yet!
The case of the Solace Pro sleeve is detachable, meaning.. what if Lovense could make more cases in the future, possible with new features, shapes, suction-features, sizes or other?
And thinking even further, if you have a 3D printer, you could even create your own Solace Pro compatible case to use with masturbation sleeves from other brands! How awesome would that be? We need some 3D printer enthusiasts to create some 3D printing files for us!
Or hmmm.. if a company could sponsor a 3D printer to Safe Lust so I could setup some 3D assets đ? I wouldn't be able to wait and share them with you all đ.
And if that doesn't happen? I hope Lovense would get creative and design even more sleeves to choose from, making a real eco-system around the Solace Pro. There are so many opportunities here đ.
Sleeve shape
Texture-wise, the Solace Pro sleeve is a big step up from the Lovense Max sleeves. It has so much more detail â and they really succeeded at that, it's a great feeling sleeve that you will enjoy.
I was surprised to see the sleeve is only open-ended on one side. This gives for a nice and strong suction which I do enjoy. However, for cleaning, it can be tricky to dry the inside. While some people suggest to flip it inside out, that could damage the sleeve and I'm not risking any of that.
I recommend you pick up an inexpensive masturbator drying stick, these work well at drying sleeves. Since it's closed-ended I do recommend one or even two drying sticks. Be careful not to leave them in for too long as it could affect the orifice shape.
I've read some people online flipping their sleeve inside-out, that would make drying much easier, but do so at your own risk.
Use of other sleeves with the Solace Pro
Can you use a Lovense Max 2, Fleshlight or Kiiroo sleeve with the Solace Pro? Of course I had to test it out đ. Any excuse to try out more sex toys right đ?
Lovense Max 2 Sleeves for Solace Pro?
Do the Lovense Max 2 Sleeves work with the Solace Pro? Short answer: if you really want to, but not really.
The sleeve isn't long enough, so when the Solace reaches down, the case ends up swallowing the sleeve. And if it doesn't swallow it, it could eject it accidentally during one of the thrusts.
With careful positioning I do believe it could be possible, but the Solace Pro sleeve will work much better.
Fleshlight sleeves for Solace Pro?
Do Fleshlight sleeves work with the Solace Pro? Unfortunately no, the Fleshlight sleeves are much wider and wouldn't be able to fit in the Solace Pro case.
However, with some engineering and 3d-printing, I'm sure a fellow sex toy enthusiast would be able to come up with a solution! At this point though? Not yet.
Kiiro sleeves for Solace Pro?
Do Kiiroo FeelStars sleeves work with the Solace Pro? Well, sometimes!
The FeelStars sleeves are just that much smaller to be able to fit into the Solace Pro case. I had a ride FeelReya on the Solace Pro and it went very well! No risk of it sliding too far, or ejecting at all.
What does happen though, is that since the case of the Lovense is slightly tighter, the sleeve might feel too tight for you. That's why I chose a sleeve like the FeelReya for my test ride, which has an open orifice. With tight orifices, it might not work as well.
So in conclusion, your mileage may vary, it can work for some! Ideally, a fellow sex toy enthusiast 3D-prints a compatible case mount for the Solace Pro â that would bring the best of both worlds.
Since the Solace Pro case is a bit tighter, of course try at your own risk and make sure not to scratch your FeelStar sleeves.
How It Feels
The big question! Does it actually feel good? Obviously yes đ.
The sleeve feels great, well-balanced, which is an important part for the Solace Pro to work. Apart from that, the precise position control on the Solace Pro allows for more realistic use, either from the Lovense Remote app, and the AI Sync.
Whether PC/VR-video scripts work with the Solace Pro is something I still need to figure out and come back on!
If I really want to nitpick? I would've enjoyed having even more depth instead of the current max stroke depth of 3.11â / 79mm. Then again, that would probably require the toy to be more bulky, and less portable, which would bring other downsides!
With its weight-distribution being mostly in the silver part of the toy, it's a toy that works very well when desk-mounted, hands-free. Use with hands also works well, although the shape might not be as convenient as some of the alternatives.
The Solace Pro sleeve with great detail and variety along with the automatic thrusting makes for a bomb of an experience.
Cleaning & Maintenance
To clean the Solace Pro, detach the sleeve case from the Solace Pro, and remove the sleeve from its case.
Use mild soap and warm water on both the case and sleeve, and towel-dry the outside. As mentioned above, I recommend using a drying stick or two to get it fully dry since the sleeve is not open-ended. Let it air-dry with the drying stick inserted overnight.
Should you get it?
If you're looking for the next latest release for interactive, automatic male masturbators, or want to get started with your first one? The Solace Pro is a fantastic choice.
Here are some reasons you should get it:
- An excellent sleeve, and sex toy with a premium, solid feel
- Free AI Video Sync, sync to webcams
- Lovense eco-system compatibility
- Long-distance sex along with the Lovense Nora
- You want a hands-free desk-mount setup that actually works
- Truly hands-free experience
- Customizable preset patterns
- A great out of the box experience
- Ability to custom 3D-print your own compatible case so it in theory could work with any sleeve â if you have experience making your own 3D models
- As with all Lovense toys, great overall interactivity and well-built apps
Does that sound like you? No reason to doubt, the Solace Pro is a toy I can easily recommend.
Who is it not for?
If:
- You are well-endowed and afraid of a slightly tighter toy
- Although note: after a few uses it stretches out nicely, although keep in mind the sleeve's case cannot be stretched
- You want to use your own sleeves collections (Fleshlight, FeelStars)
Then you might want to look into alternatives.
Keep in mind I haven't tested this toy yet with VR or PC-scripts, that's another thing I still need to get into and come back to update this review. At this point I cannot give feedback yet on those features.
Alternatives
The Keon is still a very valid competitor, and it can be hard to choose one of them!
If you like a toy with a sleek-design, an amazing desk-mount out of the box, customizable preset patterns, free AI sync*, long-distance relationship (one-way) sync with Nora, compatible with the Lovense eco-system, the Solace Pro is the way to go!
*Regarding the AI sync, both basic sites and extended sites seem to be included free of charge now. In the future, I'm not sure whether this might change for the extended list of sites. The basic list does include the most renowned porn sites, so I am not too worried.
If your priority is the ability to use the stroker hand-held instead of desk-mount, use your own sleeve collections (Fleshlight, FeelStars), have a slightly quieter experience, and you don't mind the toy to be a bit bulkier? Then the Keon might be a better fit for you.
Pricing
You can currently get the Solace Pro for 199USD / 199EUR at Lovense. This is a very fair price for a toy with a premium build, including a sleeve and desk-mount, and with AI sync and more interactive features.
Lovense has done a great job at keeping it affordable.
Summary
There's so many more aspects I wanted to cover in this review, however, bottom-line is, the Solace Pro is a great new contender in the space of automatic strokers and definitely worth thinking about when deciding which stroker to buy.
The included sleeve will bring you fantastic feelings, while the automatic stroking works truly hands-free â right out of the box, and that's worth writing about!
This toy's size and shape is made with hands-free, desk-mounted use in mind, and that's what makes the Solace Pro so great, let alone the AI Video Sync being free for the most popular websites.
