I’m relieved to say the Lovense Lush Mini isn’t too mini. In an industry that sometimes thinks smaller is better—which can be the case in some situations—when dealing with an internal sex toy, there’s definitely such a thing as too small. I say this as someone who, to the best of my knowledge, has an average-size vagina.

Compared to the standard Lovense Lush 4, which has an internal egg (for G-spot stimulation) that’s 1.46 inches deep, the Lush Mini sizes down to 1.22 inches deep; it doesn’t sound or look too different in size. Emphasis on look. As for the external arm, the one that’s main focus is on the clitoris, it is very much in proportion to the rest of the Mini. In other words, I liked what I saw.

Comfortable Fit

With a few dabs of water-based lube on the internal arm, what Lovense calls the egg, I inserted the Lush Mini into my vagina. The external arm is extremely flexible, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well the device settled into place; I expected some finagling and wiggling, but I didn’t need to adjust it. While not as outrageously comfortable as the Lovenese Ferri Panty Vibrator I recently reviewed, the Mini is pretty comfortable for a dual stimulator.

As much as the Mini felt very comfortable and good inside, once I started exploring vibration modes, I began to fear exactly how secure the whole thing was. Based on the wiggling feeling I was experiencing, I had concerns. What if I used too much lube, got excessively wet on my own in addition to the already-applied lube, or sneezed? Will the Lush Mini fly out? None of these things happened when I tried the Mini, but you can feel the smaller size, and it’s hard not to imagine it falling out on its own.

If I were to let my partner control the Mini via the Lovenese app while we were out on the town, I’d better be rocking a very snug pair of full-coverage granny panties. This is far from a tragedy, as outdoor sexual adventures aren’t a requirement for me. But it’s important for internal products to feel secure and safe for me to relax and have an orgasm.

Although I find the greatest pleasure from clitoral stimulation, I do love a strong G-spot vibration—especially when the two are working together. After all, you never know when a blended orgasm might come your way. The spectrum of intensities for the external arm is definitely enough for me, so much so that I didn’t need to click my way up to the most powerful setting, but the inside vibrations are subpar.

According to Lovense’s site and manual, both the Mini and Lush 4 deliver up to 7,000 vibrations a minute and unlimited patterns via the app. The vibration intensity I was experiencing internally was most likely linked to the size of the egg. Despite it being smaller, ever-so-slightly, it wasn’t covering enough area against my G-spot, and I could feel that.

Solo or Couples Play

Like every Lovense Lush model, the Lush Mini is waterproof and has a long battery life. It takes only 40 minutes to fully charge, and you get close to four hours of playtime, depending on how much you crank up the modes. Should things go south mid-romp, you can get another hour of use from a quick seven-minute charge. I strongly feel all sex toys should include a fast-charging option like this.

It’s a fun couples toy as much as it’s an interesting solo toy. But if you’re experienced in the Lovense Lush line or similar toys during partnered play, you may want to skip the Mini for the larger Lush 4 (which costs around the same). If you’re new to this arena, however, then the Mini is likely to be a good fit for you. Beginners, this baby is for you.
