Lovense Spinel Review: A Great Mini Sex Machine

This made the experience very realistic for my needs: start slow, work your way up, then, if I’m feeling up to it, go for turbo. Supposedly, when you have Spinel on Turbo, you’re likely to have flashbacks to when Carrie Bradshaw suffered so much aggressive jack rabbit sex that she couldn’t stand straight at Charlotte’s wedding. However, because the vaginal muscles create resistance when inside, the turbo mode was quite pleasurable, especially because I used a lot of lube. You definitely want to be prepared for Spinel.

The cool thing about this dildo is that you can slide on a clitoral stimulator, so while you’re having fun at whatever speed and intensity you like – there are three levels and four patterns – your clitoris is also getting its fair share of stimulation.

When you’re ready to switch up the heating dildo with its epic amount of cum per minute, you can move on to the G-spot attachment. While some internal arms have a slight curve to stimulate the G-spot, this one has a far-reaching, deeper curve, meaning if you’ve struggled to find your G-spot in the past, you can’t miss it with this attachment. If you’re in the mood to have a blended orgasm, you can also slide on a clitoral stimulator here.

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 bit of a project to figure out the different features every time I opened it. I don’t use apps for sex toys that often, but for this toy, it makes sense. It would be inconvenient to control it completely by hand, so an app seems necessary. Just be prepared to take some time to learn how it all works.

Putting together Spinel takes time, figuring out and deciding not only on the attachments, but how you want to use them. It can be a handheld device, which is placed on a flat and safe surface to use the suction cup feature, 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 to use it with a partner.

When you use the suction cup, you’ll want to explore different flat surfaces to make sure it’s super-safe, to avoid any awkward situations. If you have roommates and thin walls, and you don’t want people to hear about your sex toys, that’s also something to consider. Although there is no shame here, you do not want to make other people uncomfortable with the sounds you make.

If you like a sex toy that will do most of the work for you, gets warm, and has a long battery life—it takes about 2.5 hours to charge and gets about four hours of play time—then Spinel might be your next favorite toy. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth the splurge.
