We are long past the days where you would need to order a “back massager” from a Sears catalog. Now, sex toys are at the forefront of technology, and toys like the Lush 3 Vibrator by Lovense bring your orgasm to the future. But, will it really? Well, that’s why we decided to review the Lush 3.
The Lush 3 uses Bluetooth and internet connection so you can control the vibrator from across the world. Imagine traveling back in time to say we’d someday be controlling pleasure items using satellites and undersea cables. You’d be burned as a witch! But the looks on their faces may be worth it.
If you’re curious if this futuristic toy lives up to all the hype, here’s everything you need to know about the Lush 3, plus our product review.
What Is the Lush 3 Vibrator?
The Lush 3 is an egg G-spot vibrator with an attached vibrating tail. The egg goes into the vagina to stimulate the G-spot and the tail sits outside on the pubic mound to hold the toy in place.
The Lush 3 is controlled by a single button or via Bluetooth connection with an app. The tail holds the Bluetooth antenna that connects the vibrator to the app.
Lush 3 is the newest model of Lovense’s Lush toys, updated from the Lush 2 model. The new features include:
- Upgraded Bluetooth connection with a redesigned printed circuit board
- Quieter vibration
- Longer battery life, from 190 minutes to 290 minutes
- Lighter and more ergonomic design
The toy comes with a USB magnetic charging cable and a lint-free storage bag.

How Does the Lush 3 Work?
Insert the device using a water-based lube. Place the tail on your pubic mound to anchor the egg in place on your G-spot. To turn on the device, hold down the button for a few seconds.
If you’re trying to get down and dirty ASAP, you can use the button to control it old-school-style. You can click the button to cycle through the three vibration speeds and four pre-set modes.
But the real power of the toy is in the app. Download the Lovense Remote app and connect your device. The app is compatible with bluetooth enabled devices, like iOS devices, Android devices, Mac, and Windows PCs. Windows PC needs a USB Bluetooth Adapter, which Lovense sells for $5 with a device purchase.
I would recommend reading through the user guide before you get started with the app. There are so many modes and customizations and you’ll want to check them all out. But we’ll provide a quick cheat sheet of the options.
Close Range Modes
- Remote: Your phone is the remote control, so don’t lose it in the couch cushions. You use your finger to control the vibrations by sliding it around the screen, or using repeating or holding buttons.
- Patterns: The app comes preloaded with vibration patterns, or you can create your own and save them into a playlist to use later.
- Music: You can sync the Lush 3 so it will activate to the sound of music on your phone. However, Spotify no longer allows connection to the Lovense app, so you’ll need to boot up your iTunes for the first time since 2012.
- Speed Mode: The Lush 3 will vibrate according to your acceleration speed. Do not use this while you’re the driver, because that will be very embarrassing to explain to your insurance when you suffer an orgasm-related crash.
- Ninja Mode: When you leave the app or lock your phone, the Lush 3 will keep vibrating. You can control the app from your lock screen and it just looks like a music player. As long as you don’t name your playlist “Orgazm Bangrz” nobody will know.
Long Range Modes
You can use the app to control the Lush 3 from anywhere you have an Internet connection. For most of the long distance features, everyone participating will need to download the app and make a Lovense account.
- Live Control: Hand someone else your remote, even from across the world, by giving them live control of your vibrator.
- Sync Feature: Two users can connect their vibrators so they vibrate in sync.
- Group Chat: Multiple users can chat and sync their toys to vibrate together.
- Sync Group Control: One user can control multiple toys so they vibrate together.
- D&S Control: Multiple users (the doms) take turns controlling one user (the sub)’s toy.
- Control Link: You can send a one-time-use, time limited link to someone without the Lovense app to control your toy.
Our Honest Lush 3 Vibrator Review
The Lush 3 is high quality and beautiful, made with soft silicone and an ergonomic design. I’ve always struggled with awkward G-spot vibrator handles. Luckily, the tail to keep the toy let me set it and forget it, instead of blindly pushing, pulling, and bopping.
The remote and patterns were easy to use and the app was a breeze to navigate, especially considering how many options and customizations you can use. It gives deep, rumbly vibrations for G-spot stimulation. It’s possible it would also give clitoral stimulation for some people, but I couldn’t get the tail to sit directly on my clitoris.

The Bluetooth stays connected consistently as long as you’re within range. I tested the distance while sitting up and laying down. When laying down, the tail was exposed, so the range was farther – it worked even from a different floor of my house. When I was sitting up, my thighs ate up the tail, which made the connection dicier. It only worked as far as my bed to my bedroom closet.
I did test the long distance options using the control link, and it worked perfectly. I never had issues with the connection. But the controls aren’t as good without the app, so if you’re going to be using it regularly with a partner, make them download the app and create a Lovense account.
If you’re playing in public for your “The Ugly Truth” moment, I would recommend using the Internet connection instead of the Bluetooth, because the connection is more consistent. Architects rarely consider designing buildings for optimal vibrator Bluetooth connection, so you never know which buzzkill barrier might block the connection.
But the toy stayed comfortably in place while I was walking around, so I think I could take it out on the town with no issue.
I wasn’t able to test out the group modes. Lovense kindly sent me the Lush 3 to test, but they did not send me a bulk box of the toys to sync with friends, nor a panel of Doms for D&S Mode. Any volunteers?
But with multiple secure options for connecting via Internet connection, the Lush 3 would be a great option for people who play online, like cam models.
The Control Link mode was very well designed for security, because you could specify the exact time limits. The link expires after 30 minutes if not used, and you could choose to reactivate or deactivate it at any time.
The Verdict
If you’re just looking for a basic G-spot vibrator, you can find sex toys with similar vibration power at a lower price point. What really sets the Lush 3 apart is the custom controls and the long distance modes.
If the same old vibration patterns are putting your pussy to sleep, the Lush 3 will be a breath of fresh air. The app has a mode for every situation and the customizations make the possibilities endless.
I highly recommend the Lush 3 as a remote control vibrator, for long distance relationships, and for online play.
