Lovense Max 2 Design, Build Quality, and Materials

---

First off, the build quality. Honestly, Max 2 feels solid, but not too heavy. It’s made from safe materials for sex toys; smooth ABS plastic, which makes it easy to hold, even when things get a bit, you know… messy. The grip is a bit ribbed, which is a nice upgrade because, let’s face it, nobody wants to drop their toy mid-session.

The sleeve is made from TPE, which is soft but firm enough to feel realistic. If you’re picky about textures, there’s a choice between the neutral opening or an optional pink one, but both have different internal textures (we’ll look at the sleeves in more detail later in the article).

Design-wise, here’s what stands out:

• Adjustable suction: You control how tight it feels with a sliding air vent. It’s not the easiest to move when your hands are slippery, but once you find the right spot, it really makes a difference.
• Emergency release valve: If the suction gets too intense, you can quickly let off the pressure. This is a small but important detail.
• Magnetic charging port: It’s at the base, and you can even charge it standing up. No awkward cables lying around.

The design improvements over the original Max are subtle but noticeable—especially in terms of grip and ease of use.

Max 2 Functions and Features

---

This is where Lovense Max 2 really stands out. It’s not just your typical male masturbator—it has a range of features that make it customizable and more interactive. Whether you want to control it through the Lovense Remote App or just use it “locally” (buttons only/offline), Max 2 gives you plenty of options.

• 360-degree contractions: The internal “airbags” create a squeezing motion that feels pretty natural. You can adjust the intensity depending on what works best for you.
• Vibration motor: Max 2 features a stronger, more noticeable vibration compared to the original Max. It adds a lot to the overall experience and can be synced with the app for extra customization.
• Adjustable suction: The suction is controlled by an air vent on the toy. My tester found that adjusting the suction added a nice layer to the experience, though it’s not always easy to tweak mid-session if things get slippery.
• App control: The toy connects to the Lovense Remote App via Bluetooth/Wifi, giving you full control over the settings from your phone. Whether you want to adjust the vibrations, change patterns, or sync it with other Lovense toys, the app makes it easy – as far as customizable sex toys so, it’s hard to find something better out there.

It’s also a VR-compatible sex toy that can sync with interactive content, VR porn videos, and erotic/x-rated games, adding a whole new level of immersion. You can even pair it with another Lovense toy like the Nora vibrator, allowing for interaction in long-distance relationships.

Lovense Max 2 Sleeve Options

---

There are now TWO sleeves to choose from…

• A clear, neutral ring hole with “realistic” vaginal textures within the sleeve. this one is included with the toy.
• There is also a pink TPE, vagina-shaped opening with an even pattern of bumps within the sleeve. If you want this one instead, it’s sold separately on the Lovense Store.
• You can see the original Max also used the pink TPE sleeve. This could be a con if you’re adamant on only silicone materials.

So what’s the REAL difference?

The problem you’ll find with most men is that they can’t really identify WHY they like a certain texture. It’s always, “I just like the feeling better.” It really comes down to personal preference. So don’t worry if you think that not having the pink sleeve is something you’ll be missing out on if you get the newer version. However, there are other features that can be measured; such as softness and tightness.

The new sleeves for Max 2 feel a tad softer. Also, “The new sleeve definitely felt better and tighter” was the best description I could get from my male tester.

App Control Features

---

Here’s where Lovense Max 2 really gets interesting. The Remote App opens up a ton of possibilities, especially if you’re in a long-distance relationship or just like having a lot of control over your toys. I tested the app to get a feel for it, but my male friend really put it through its paces.

Here’s everything the app can do:

• Control from anywhere: Whether you’re in the same room or across the world, you can control the toy remotely. This is a huge perk for anyone looking for a long-distance sex toy experience.
• Sync with other Lovense sex toys: Max 2 can sync with other toys like Lovense Lush 3 vibrating egg or a Hush 2 butt plug. And if it’s Nora, Calor, the Lovense sex machines (full-sized or mini), or another Max, you can use the real-time sex sync features, which have one toy react to the other’s movements through haptic feedback.
• Interactive video and VR syncing: The app can sync with adult videos, making solo play more immersive. It’s a fun way to match the sensations to what you’re watching.
• Music sync: You can set it to react to music, with the vibrations following the beat. If you’re into rhythm-based play, this is an interesting feature.

• Ambient sound reaction: The toy can respond to noises in your environment, whether it’s music, voices, or background sounds.
• Custom vibration patterns: You can create and save custom vibration patterns in the app. If you find a rhythm you like, you can save it for future sessions.
• Interactive games: The app has some in-game features that sync the toy’s sensations with the action in certain games.
• Audiobook syncing: For something a little different, Max 2 can sync with certain erotic audiobooks, matching the vibrations to the intensity of the story.
• Multi-toy control: If you have more than one Lovense toy, the app lets you control them all at once, which can add a fun twist to solo or partner play.

The app is pretty intuitive and once you’ve paired Max 2 with your device, it’s easy to navigate. My friend mentioned that the Bluetooth connection was stable, which is always a plus since nobody wants their toy disconnecting mid-session.

Compatible With:

• iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch iOS 14.2 and later
• Android 5.0 and later (with Bluetooth 4.0 enabled)
• Mac (with Bluetooth 4.0 enabled)
• Windows PC (needs a Lovense USB Bluetooth Adapter to connect )

User Experience and Performance

---

Since I’m not the target user for Max 2, I tested it on a surface level but handed it off to a male friend for more detailed feedback. Overall, he had some honest insights about the toy that might help you decide if it’s right for you.

The vibrations were strong enough to notice (a lot), but not so intense that they became uncomfortable. The adjustable suction added an extra layer to the experience, and when paired with the vibrations, it made a noticeable difference. The 360-degree contractions weren’t among his top 3 favorite features mostly because he prefers being able to change up the pressure with the precise sensations his hand can give. That being said, other users might enjoy the squeezing sensation.

• Adjustable suction: Being able to tweak the suction levels made a big difference in the overall experience. Once you find the right setting, it enhances the sensations quite a bit.
• Quiet operation: Even on the higher settings, Max 2 isn’t too loud, which is a huge plus for anyone looking to keep things discreet.
• Comfortable fit: The sleeve offers enough resistance to make it feel realistic without being too tight.

But there were a few points he didn’t love:

• Suction control: The air vent can be tricky to adjust mid-session, especially when your hands get slippery. It’s something you’d want to set beforehand.
• Contractions: While the contractions didn’t stand out to him, they might be more appreciated by someone who prefers a gentler, more subtle sensation.

In the end, he was pretty impressed with Max 2 overall, especially when used with the Lovense Remote App. The ability to adjust and customize the experience through the app was a big plus, and the long-distance control added an extra level of fun for him and his partner.

Cleaning and Care

---

When it comes to cleaning, Max 2 is pretty straightforward, but you do need to be thorough—especially since the sleeve is made from TPE, which is a porous material. This means it can trap bacteria if not cleaned properly, so you’ll want to make sure you do it right.

Here’s a quick rundown on how to clean it:

1. Remove the sleeve: The sleeve easily pops out of the main body, making it easier to wash.
2. Rinse with warm water and mild soap: It’s important to use mild soap, as harsh cleaners or chemicals can damage the material.
3. Let it air dry completely: You need to make sure the sleeve is completely dry before putting it back into the toy. If any moisture remains, it can lead to bacteria or mold.
4. Wipe down the outer shell: For the ABS plastic outer part of the toy, a quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes.

Since the TPE sleeve is porous, it’s recommended to use a water-based lubricant to avoid degrading the material. Also, remember to close the air vent during cleaning to prevent water from getting into the inner workings of the toy.

My friend mentioned that while cleaning the sleeve was easy, waiting for it to fully air-dry was a bit of a hassle. It’s crucial to let it dry completely, though, to maintain hygiene and extend the life of your Max 2.

If you’re looking for the best lube for sex toys like this, stick to water-based options, as silicone-based lubes can cause issues with the TPE material.

Price vs. Value

---

So, is Max 2 worth its price tag? At $99, it’s definitely on the higher end compared to some basic masturbators, but the range of features and versatility justifies the cost. On the flip side, if you’re simply looking for something basic without all the interactive capabilities, there are more affordable alternatives like hands-free male masturbators that can do the job without the high-tech features.

Comparison with Other Male Masturbators

1. Kiiroo Keon: The Kiiroo Keon offers high-speed stroking (up to 230 strokes per minute) and syncs with interactive content and VR. It’s great for those seeking intense stroking but lacks the adjustable suction and app control features of Max 2.
2. Autoblow AI+: This hands-free toy uses AI to mimic oral techniques, offering a realistic experience with pre-set patterns. While it doesn’t have the interactive features or Bluetooth control of Max it’s ideal for those focused on a natural, AI-driven feel.
3. Zolo Roboblow: The Zolo Roboblow focuses on adjustable stroke lengths and suction. It provides strong vibrations but doesn’t offer the app control or long-distance features that make Max stand out. It’s a good option if you’re looking for strong performance without the tech integration.
