This is a clever idea, but unfortunately it feels a little underdeveloped. Once set up and paired with the Lovely itself, the app will offer a ‘daily tip’ on things to try related to your chosen areas of interest.

You’ll also be asked to pick which sexual areas you’re interested in, including topics such as foreplay, intimacy, threesomes and ‘erotic intelligence’. During setup, the app will ask for your height, weight, age and gender, the latter of which includes an ‘other’ option to cater for non-binary individuals. The main draw of the Lovely device and the accompanying app is its ‘Desire-Sensing’ technology, which supposedly uses data about your sexual preferences combined with data collected by the device to offer tips and feedback which will help improve your sex. On the other hand, the charging pad uses the ‘Qi’ wireless power standard used by many smartphones – so if you happen to have a spare Qi charging pad lying around, you can safely shove the provided one in a drawer and use that instead. The micro-USB cable that powers it also doesn’t come with a wall plug, so you’ll need to find an adapter or plug it into a handy USB port. For a start, it’s made out of rather cheap-feeling plastic compared to the Lovely itself. The Lovely charges wirelessly, and unfortunately the charging pad that comes in the box isn’t quite as nice as the toy itself. While you’re probably not going to fool anyone into thinking it’s not a bedroom device, you wouldn’t be too red-faced if you happened to accidentally leave it on the nightstand while entertaining. It’s also discreet enough in its appearance that it doesn’t immediately scream ‘sex toy’ on first glance. It’s rather well-constructed the silicone is nice and smooth, and the flowing lines are pleasing to the eye. It’s available in two colours – an attractive ‘wild green’, which our review sample came in, and ‘soft pink’, which is pastel-shaded and much less appealing.

It’s an egg-shaped silicone affair with a series of decorative ridges at one end and a stretchy ring at the other, along with a physical control button in the middle. The Lovely looks, in essence, like a somewhat bulkier version of an average cock ring – albeit a more aesthetically pleasing one. Show more + Show less – Lovely 2.0 Review: Design
