Lovense Spinel Review: A Great Mini Sex Machine

This made the experience very realistic to my needs: start slow, work my way up, then, if I feel like it, go turbo. Granted, when you have Spinel on turbo, you’ll likely have flashbacks to the time Carrie Bradshaw was subjected to such aggressive sex with a Jack Rabbit that she couldn’t stand up straight at Charlotte’s wedding. However, because the vaginal muscles create resistance when inside, the turbo mode was quite enjoyable, especially because I was using a lot of lube. You definitely want to lubricate for Spinel.

What’s also great about this dildo is that you can slide on the clitoral stimulator, so while you’re enjoying a good thrust, at the speed and intensity you like (there are three levels and four patterns), your clitoris also gets its fair share of stimulation.

When you’re ready to replace the heated dildo with its epic amount of thrusts per minute, you can then move on to the G-spot attachment. While some internal arms have a slight curve to stimulate the G-spot, this one has a deep, wide-ranging curve, meaning if you’ve had trouble finding your G-spot in the past, you can’t miss it with this accessory. You can also use the clitoral stimulator here too, if you’re in the mood to hopefully achieve a blended orgasm.

Like all Lovense products, the Spinel comes with an app that isn’t difficult to use, but with all the options, including speed, intensity, and temperature, it became a little project to explore the different features each time I opened it. I don’t often use a sex toy app, but for this toy, it makes sense. It would be uncomfortable to control it entirely by hand, which is why the app seems necessary. Just be prepared to take the time to learn how it all works.

Not a quick fuck

The Spinel takes time to assemble, understand and decide not only on the attachments, but how you want to use them. It can be a handheld device, placed on a secure, flat surface to use the suction function, or its handle can literally turn it into a gun-shaped dildo that you can use on yourself, although it’s not particularly comfortable to hold, so it’s best used with a partner.

When using the suction cup, you’ll want to explore different flat surfaces to make sure it’s ultra secure and avoid a precarious situation. If you have roommates and thin walls, and you don’t want people to hear your sex toy doing its thing, that’s also something to consider. While there’s no shame here, you don’t want to make others uncomfortable with sweaty sounds.

If you like a sex toy that will do the majority of the work for you, heat up, and have a long battery life (it takes about 2.5 hours to charge and offers about four hours of play), then the Spinel might be your next favorite toy. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth it.
