The Bottom Line

The Lovense Max 2 is a smart stroker that pairs classic sleeve sensations with air-pump contractions and vibration, all controllable via the excellent Lovense Remote app. It excels for interactive play (solo or with a partner controlling you remotely) and syncs with other Lovense toys for long-distance fun. Suction strength and contractions feel convincing for a portable device, though it’s louder than manual strokers and cleanup takes an extra minute because of the internal air channel. If you want app features and hands-free patterns in a compact shell, the Max 2 delivers.

In-Depth Review

Design & Build Quality

Max 2 keeps a clean, bottle-like silhouette that’s discreet on a nightstand. The hard ABS shell feels sturdy, while the internal canal uses a soft, body-safe TPE sleeve that pops out for cleaning. Buttons are raised and easy to find mid-session. There’s a transparent window so you can check alignment and lube spread, which sounds minor but is actually handy.

The unit is compact and travelable compared with bulky piston toys. Fit is forgiving thanks to the air chamber that inflates/deflates to hug you, so a wider range of girths can get a seal. Build tolerances are solid; nothing rattly, though air valves naturally emit some hiss during strong contractions.

Power, Suction & Sensation

You get two stimulation systems: a vibration motor and an air-pump contraction chamber. The squeeze feels rhythmic and can mimic a slow, pulsing grip; ramp it up and it becomes a tighter, more urgent clench. Vibration isn’t the rumbliest on the market, but layered with suction it’s very effective—especially with pulsing patterns.

Pressure holds are consistent and the chamber re-seals quickly after pattern changes. On the flip side, the stronger the contraction, the more audible the valve hiss—something to consider if you need stealth.

App Connectivity & Features

Lovense Remote remains the gold standard: rock-solid Bluetooth, custom pattern editor, tap/slide controls, music and mic modes, and long-distance partner control. Max 2 can sync with toys like the Lovense Nora for interactive couple play, which is a big draw for LDRs and camming.

Battery Life & Charging

Expect around two hours on mixed patterns before needing a top-up. That’s decent given you’re powering both a motor and an air pump, but marathoners may want a mid-week charge. Magnetic USB makes docking simple; just make sure the pins snap squarely into place.

Waterproofing & Care

Max 2 isn’t submersible. Remove the sleeve and rinse it thoroughly with warm water and toy cleaner; let the shell and end caps stay dry (wipe-down only). Use water-based lube—TPE sleeves can degrade with silicone lubes. Air-dry completely before reassembly to keep the air channel crisp.

Who Should Buy This?

Great for tech-curious users who want contractions without a bulky piston machine, and for long-distance couples who’ll use the app a lot. If you need whisper-quiet toys or you hate app dependencies, a manual stroker may suit you better. For most, the feature set justifies the price.
