What makes the Lovense Solace different?

Solace supplies its own stroking motion instead of requiring the user to move a sleeve manually. Its powered holder moves the sleeve backward and forward through three selectable stroke lengths, while five speed levels and unlimited app-created patterns provide control over pace and rhythm. The included desk mount supports hands-free use from several positions.

Lovense Solace at a glance

How does the Lovense Solace work?

The Solace contains a powered internal holder that moves the removable sleeve backward and forward. Once the penis has been inserted, the user can select the stroke length and speed using the controls on the top of the machine or through the Lovense Remote app.

The sleeve holder moves while the main housing remains stationary. When attached to the desk mount, this creates automatic hands-free stroking without the user needing to hold or move the unit manually.

The physical controls let the user start or stop the movement, change between short, medium and long strokes, and move through five speed settings ranging from ultra-low to ultra-high.

Adjustable speed and stroke depth

At maximum power, Solace can reach up to 280 strokes per minute. It also offers three physical stroke-length settings:

• Short: focused movement near the sleeve entrance and penis head
• Medium: a balance between speed and travel distance
• Long: deeper movement with up to 70 mm or 2.75 inches of travel

The five manual speed levels are ultra-low, low, medium, high and ultra-high. The app adds variable patterns that can move through different speeds rather than remaining at one constant pace.

Maximum speed and maximum stroke length will not necessarily suit every user. Begin at a low setting and increase either speed or depth separately so the change remains easy to assess.

180-degree adjustable desk mount

The included desk mount clamps to the edge of a suitable desk, table or other stable horizontal surface. Lovense specifies a maximum mounting thickness of approximately 55 mm or 5.5 cm.

The angle can be adjusted through approximately 180 degrees, making several positions possible:

• Reclining on a chair or sofa
• Lying on a bed beside a suitable table
• Sitting at a desk or computer
• Standing beside a table
• Using the unit horizontally or at a chosen downward angle

The manufacturer notes that face-up positioning may increase the chance of the mechanism jamming. Increasing the stroke speed may help, but the unit should be stopped immediately if the movement becomes obstructed.

Soft removable textured sleeve

The standard package includes a neutral-opening TPE sleeve. The sleeve is soft, flexible and internally textured with raised areas intended to provide changing contact as it moves.

Lovense advertises the sleeve as stretching to accommodate most sizes, but the manufacturer does not publish a precise guaranteed penis-length or girth range on the main product page.

Fit will depend on penis girth, sleeve condition, lubricant and selected stroke length. A larger girth may create additional friction and place more strain on the moving mechanism.

Optional replacement sleeves

The sleeve holder flips open so the sleeve can be removed for washing or replacement. This also lets users change the internal texture without replacing the entire machine.

Options shown by Lovense include:

• Neutral sleeve: a non-anatomical opening with internal nubs and ridges
• Vagina-style sleeve: a softer anatomically shaped entrance sold separately
• Replacement neutral sleeve: useful when the original becomes worn, torn or permanently tacky

The standard package includes one neutral sleeve. Alternative and replacement sleeves should be treated as optional accessories unless the current offer clearly identifies a bundle.

Lovense Remote app control

Solace can be operated using its physical controls or connected to the Lovense Remote app on a compatible phone, tablet or computer.

Available app functions include:

• Close-range Bluetooth control
• Internet-based long-distance partner control
• Adjustable thrusting speed
• Selection of stroke length
• Unlimited custom thrusting patterns
• Music-synchronised movement
• Sound-activated movement
• Real-time control by an invited partner
• Storage of up to 10 user-created patterns
• Interaction with selected compatible Lovense products

The user can retain control permissions and end a remote session through the app. The physical stop control should also remain within easy reach during hands-free use.

Long-distance partner control

A consenting partner can control Solace through the internet from another room, city or country. The partner can alter the thrusting pace, depth and pattern in real time through Lovense Remote.

Both participants require compatible devices, Lovense accounts and a reliable internet connection. The person using Solace should establish agreed speed and depth limits before handing over control.

Interactive content, livestreams and games

Solace can respond to selected interactive adult content through compatible Lovense software. Lovense promotes compatibility with supported livestreams through VibeMate and with selected interactive games.

When compatible content is connected correctly, the stroking movement can change in response to the on-screen activity or game data.

Content compatibility varies between services, operating systems and regions. Some websites, games or interactive features may require separate software, subscriptions or purchases.

Music and sound-activated thrusting

Music mode changes the stroking response according to compatible audio played through the connected device. Tracks with a distinct beat are likely to produce clearer changes than quiet or evenly mixed music.

Sound mode responds to audio detected through the phone or tablet microphone. This can include a partner’s voice, music or other selected sounds.

These modes require appropriate microphone and media permissions. Their response will vary with background noise and the capabilities of the connected device.

Physical control without a phone

A smartphone is not required for basic use. The controls on the top of Solace allow the user to:

• Turn the machine on or off
• Start or stop thrusting
• Increase the stroke length
• Decrease the stroke length
• Increase the stroke speed
• Decrease the stroke speed

Hold the main power control for approximately three seconds to turn the unit on. A brief press starts or stops the stroking mechanism.

The app is required for long-distance partner control, custom patterns, music response, sound activation and more detailed programming.

Phone and computer compatibility

The current official guide lists compatibility with:

• Compatible iPhone and iPad devices using iOS 14.2 or later
• Android 5.0 or later with Bluetooth 4.0 enabled
• Compatible Mac computers with Bluetooth 4.0 enabled
• Windows computers using a separately available Lovense USB Bluetooth Adapter

Operating-system requirements can change as apps are updated. Buyers planning to use an older phone, tablet or computer should confirm current compatibility before ordering.

Lovense Solace compared with Solace Pro

Who is the Lovense Solace suited for?

Is Solace suitable for beginners?

Solace can suit a beginner because it offers low speed, short stroke and an immediate stop control. However, it is mechanically powerful and requires more setup than a basic handheld masturbation sleeve.

A first-time user should begin without handing control to another person. Apply plenty of lubricant, select the shortest stroke and start at the ultra-low or low speed.

Become familiar with stopping the machine before trying faster settings, longer strokes, interactive content or remote partner control.

Battery life and charging

The current specifications list a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery, approximately 100 minutes of charging and up to 13 hours of operation. A separate marketing section describes around 12.5 hours of playtime, so actual results should be expected to vary.

Battery life depends on stroke speed, stroke length, selected patterns, wireless connection and battery condition. Maximum-speed use will normally consume power faster than slower operation.

The indicator remains illuminated while charging and turns off when the battery is full. The app can also display battery status.

IPX4 water repellency

Solace is rated IPX4 water-repellent. This is protection against splashing rather than full waterproofing.

Do not immerse the main housing, place it under a running tap or use it in a bath or shower. The electronic housing should be cleaned only with a slightly damp cloth and then dried.

How to clean the Lovense Solace

The removable sleeve should be cleaned before and after every use.

1. Stop the stroking mechanism and turn the machine off.
2. Hold the appropriate control to move the sleeve holder forward for removal.
3. Open the holder and gently remove the inner sleeve and holder assembly.
4. Separate the soft sleeve from its holder.
5. Wash the sleeve with warm water and mild unscented soap or suitable toy cleaner.
6. Wash the removable holder separately when required.
7. Rinse thoroughly to remove lubricant and cleaner residue.
8. Dry the sleeve and holder completely before reassembly.
9. Wipe the main housing with a slightly damp cloth only.
10. Make sure the sleeve’s plastic ring sits correctly in the holder groove.
11. Insert the holder back into the main body until it clicks into place.

Do not place the sleeve or machine in a dishwasher, washing machine, clothes dryer or boiling water. Keep all components away from extreme heat, cold and direct sunlight.

Use water-based lubricant only

The official guide instructs users to use water-based lubricant and avoid silicone-based or oil-based products.

Apply lubricant generously to the penis, sleeve entrance and inside the sleeve before beginning. Water-based lubricant can dry during a long session, so pause and reapply it whenever friction increases.

Insufficient lubricant can create uncomfortable drag, damage the sleeve or place additional strain on the thrusting mechanism.

Important considerations before buying

Overall assessment

The Lovense Solace is a genuine automatic stroker rather than a vibrating or contracting sleeve. Its key strengths are powerful powered movement, selectable stroke depth, a wide speed range and a sturdy adjustable mount.

The Lovense Remote app adds meaningful functions for solo users, couples and long-distance partners, including custom thrusting patterns, music response and supported interactive content.

Its main compromises are its 980-gram weight, non-waterproof housing, involved cleaning routine and less precise stroke adjustment compared with Solace Pro. It is best suited to adults who prioritise automatic hands-free movement and do not require the newest AI features.
