Lovense has updated one of its most popular sex toys of all time yet again, releasing the Lovense Lush 3.
This new version comes with updates, including new charging ports, a redesigned antenna, and a slightly quieter vibrator.
Is it worth it to you to buy the Lovense Lush 3 over the (now cheaper) Lush 2?
Are the design improvements worth the extra money?
In this article, we’ll look at how the Lovense Lush 3 compares to the Lush 2, and which one is the better choice for you.

Is the Lush 3 More Powerful?
Both the Lovense Lush 2 and Lush 3 are powerful egg vibrators that can deliver strong G-spot orgasms. They may be whisper-quiet when inserted, but they won’t let you down.
However, is the Lush 3 an improvement over the Lush 2 when it comes to the energy of the vibrator?
Not really – at least not enough that it would matter, or be worth upgrading.
The Lovense Lush 2 has shown itself to be more than capable of some deep and powerful rumbles, and Lovense did not see the need to make any changes to this model.
However, some people do report that the “impact” of the vibration from the Lush 3 is stronger, due to how it sits ergonomically in the body now that the antenna has been redesigned.
Previously, the less severe curve of the antenna led to the device sitting lower and flatter in the vagina, which gave it less impact on the G-spot.
In terms of vibration power, the Lovense Lush 2 and Lush 3 are about equal. If the Lush 3 is slightly more impactful, it is still so slight that you won’t notice the difference between the two toys.
It’s also worth noting that neither of these toys has any significant clitoral stimulation. By design, these are G-spot vibrators that only provide internal stimulation.
Although there is an antenna that can brush pleasantly against the clitoris and transfer some vibrational energy, it’s not significant enough for clitoral orgasms.
Unfortunately, this is the same in the Lush 3 as it was in the Lush 2. Although the antenna was redesigned to hug the pubic bone better and provide greater comfort, it still doesn’t provide much clitoral stimulation.
When it comes to power, the Lush 2 and Lush 3 are equal and tied.
Is the Lush 3 More Comfortable?
The Lovense Lush is so popular in part because it is comfortable and convenient to wear out in public.
The Lush 2 was one of the most comfortable wearable sex tech toys of all time. Has Lovense improved on its design?
Yes! Although the Lush 3 is very similar to its predecessor in many ways, this update is significant and makes the Lovense Lush 3 much more comfortable than the Lush 2 for most vagina-havers.
The issue with the Lush 2 (and the original Lush) was that the antenna was quite straight and rigid, making it hard to position and occasionally leading to discomfort when it hit the clitoris.
When Lovense re-evaluated the design for the Lush 3, the antenna became bendier with more of a natural curve. This helps it hug the pubic bone more closely and makes it less likely to need to be readjusted randomly.
It can also lead to stronger vibrations. Because the antenna has a closer curve, it helps to lift the egg to a higher inserted position, which presses it closer against the G-spot, improving vibration and orgasms.
Both the Lovense Lush 2 and Lush 3 are extremely comfortable, and both are designed for long-term wear and are safe to be inserted for long periods.
Both are made of smooth silicone and are easily inserted with lube. Compared to many other wearable sex toys, Lovense products are comfortable and easy to use.
Comparing the Lush 2 and the Lush 3, it is clear that the Lush 3 presents an upgrade when it comes to comfort and wearability, and that is significant.
The egg itself is almost unchanged and that is a good thing because it has always been so comfortable to wear. The antenna has been redesigned to help the entire device sit better and feel better, especially over hours of wear.
If comfort matters to you, especially for long sessions, the Lovense Lush 3 is better than the Lush 2.
It might not be worth upgrading if you are already happy with your Lush 2, but if you are considering both options for a new purchase, you should know that you might be comfier with the Lush 3.
Is the Lush 3 Quieter?
Noise can be a major concern with vibrators, especially when you want to wear them out in public.
It is hot to wear a vibrator that is controlled by your partner from a distance in public – but not if everyone can hear a loud and obvious whirring sound in your pants.
Thankfully, this isn’t an issue with either vibrator. Both the Lovense Lush 2 and Lush 3 have motors that are quiet enough to go unnoticed in most situations, even at the highest settings while out in public.
A silent coffee shop or a museum might present an issue, but if people are talking and walking around you, you should be able to wear either the Lovense Lush 2 or Lush 3 out in public without worrying that anyone will detect the game you are playing.
In both toys, the motor is quiet and efficient.
If turn the Lush 2 or Lush 3 on when it is out, you might be surprised by how much noise it makes. It doesn’t seem that quiet.
However, your body and clothes muffle so much of the sound that it is borderline undetectable in most situations.
When it comes to sound and volume, is the Lush 3 quieter and stealthier than its predecessor?
Well, technically the answer is yes.
The team at Lovense is always trying to develop quieter vibrators, and in their quest for perfection with the Lovense Lush 3, they have managed to reduce the vibrational noise by 2 decibels, or 4% overall.
This is pretty cool, and it is an actual difference, but it probably isn’t big enough of a difference that you would ever notice it yourself, and it’s unlikely to be a reason for you to upgrade.
It’s always good to have a quieter vibrator, and officially, on paper, the Lovense Lush 3 is quieter than the Lush 2 – but you would have to be a computer to tell the difference, and they are both quiet enough that you can wear them in public in all but the most silent of environments.
When it comes to stealth and vibration volume, it’s a tie between the Lush 2 and Lush 3 in practice.
Does the Lush 3 Have a Better Battery Life?
There is nothing worse than having a battery die in your vibrator.
It’s especially annoying when your vibrator is already inserted inside you and you are out in public going about your day. It’s not like you can just stop and charge it! It’s definitely a mood killer.
The Lovense Lush 2 and Lush 3 are designed to be worn out in public for extended periods, which is why Lovense has ensured that these toys include some of the best rechargeable batteries on the market.
The Lovense Lush 2 has up to 3 hours of battery life, which is better than a lot of its competitors and more than enough time for many people.
The Lush 3 has an improved battery life, up to 5 hours! This is a pretty significant boost that might make it worth an upgrade for you, especially if you have been frustrated by the limited charge offered by the Lush 2.
When it comes to battery life, the Lush 3 is much better than the Lush 2, offering the ability to play for almost double the length of time.
If you are the kind of person who wants to keep vibrating throughout your daily life without worrying about running out of charge, it might be worth it to buy or upgrade to the Lush 3.
Does the Lush 3 Charge Better?
A noticeable difference between the Lovense Lush 2 and Lush 3 is the updated charging ports, which make it easier and less frightening to charge the toy.
Both the Lovense Lush 2 and Lush 3 are waterproof, but to charge the Lush 2 you need to press a metal prong through a port in the silicone to charge it.
This shouldn’t damage the toy if you do it correctly – the silicone is self-repairing and the seal will be preserved and the toy will remain waterproof as long as it is not plugged in.
However, it is an obvious point of failure, and plugging and unplugging repeatedly can lead to wear and tear that could ultimately compromise the waterproof capabilities of the toy and lead to water damage.
It’s also just really scary to do. You need to jab something sharp into the silicone that protects an expensive toy that you like and want to keep. It feels like if you make a mistake, the toy will be ruined.
The team at Lovense updated the Lush 3 with magnetic charging points that are much easier to use. They don’t stay attached as well, but the silicone is protected and you don’t need to do minor surgery on the toy to charge it.
When it comes to charging ports, the Lush 3 is better than the Lush 2.
Does the Lush 3 Have Better Connectivity?
A Lovense toy isn’t much fun if it loses connectivity and stops responding to input from the Lovense app. Connectivity matters for wearable sex tech.
There wasn’t an issue with the Lovense Lush 2, which had great connectivity and very few problems staying connected with the Lovense Remote app while in range.
The popularity of the Lush 2 is in large part because it is so reliable, and used by the cam performer community where reliability is so important.
However, there has been an improvement in the Lush 3 when it comes to connectivity.
On paper, both the Lush 2 and Lush 3 report connectivity within 20-40 feet of the phone. However, users of the Lush 3 have reported strong connectivity from as much as 130 feet away!
If you want your Lush to stay connected while pushing the limits of distance, it might be worth upgrading to a Lush 3.
Is the Lovense Lush 3 Better than the Lush 2?
Both the Lovense Lush 2 and Lush 3 are excellent wearable sex toys that are worth your money, but which one should you choose?
The Lovense Lush 3 is technically better than the Lush 2, with design improvements in ergonomics, sound, battery life, and connectivity, but these improvements are relatively minor compared to the similarities and aren’t worth the upgrade or extra money for most users.
The reason to buy a Lovense Lush is to enjoy hands-free, remote-controlled, quiet yet powerful G-spot stimulation, from a convenient app. Both the Lovense Lush 2 and Lush 3 do a great job of this.
If price is a concern at all, your best bet is probably the Lovense Lush 2.
These models are discounted now that the Lush 3 has been released, which means that you can get one of the best app-controlled wearable egg vibrators of all time for an affordable price.
However, if you are willing to spend some extra money to ensure that you get a Lovense Lush that is the most comfortable, powerful, quiet, and Bluetooth-connected model out there, the Lush 3 is unquestionably a step over its predecessor, even if the improvements are minor.
The Lovense Lush 3 is better than the Lush 2, but that doesn’t mean it will be worth it for everyone, especially since the Lush 2 offers the same core functionality at a lower price.
