Design

Sexy, Sleek, and Oh So Sweet

Let's deep dive into the appearance of the Sona 3 Cruise Sonic from Lelo, which is nothing short of breathtakingly gorgeous. The backside of the suction toy is plastered with a sleek pink shine that appears to be textured similar to a seashell.

The front facing side of the toy, is drenched in a matte black silicone material that is butter soft to the touch, with a tiny hole carved out for clit heaven. Using this toy was a holy experience, the suction technology did a number on my throbbing and aching clit as the intensity brought me close to a breaking point.

The Lelo clit massager has a compact design which makes it easy to stow away in a pocket, drawer, or anywhere you want. I was also surprised by the marketing campaign that Lelo did to promote the Sona 3 Cruise Sonic. They had a cheeky dinner party photoshoot where the toy was featured as a dessert item, synonymous with ice cream and cake. The model showcasing the product was clad in a sparkly cocktail dress, and the high production quality screamed luxury.

Not Your Typical Clit Massager

The Sona 3 Cruise Sonic from Lelo is one of the most sturdy and well-made clit suckers on the market. The product feels solid, and is light-weight enough for those with grip strength issues to have long sessions with the toy. This toy packs a punch, and takes pleasure to the next level. Sona 3 is not for the weak, and has high intensity levels that may not be suitable for beginners.

However, if your clit is not super sensitive, or have previous experience with clit suckers then this toy would make a great addition to your lineup. I have to say that this is nothing like your typical clit massager because it performs at the highest level of masturbation enhancement. I have never experienced anything like this before, which is why this toy is part of my top 3 favorite toys.

To say that this is life changing is an understatement, it is earth shattering, pussy trembling, and brain exploding orgasmic.

Experience

How did it actually feel when you used it?

I think I may have caught feelings for this sexy little sidekick. The main question people usually ask is did this toy feel good? No, this toy did not feel good, instead it felt like perfection with a cherry on top. All hail the Lelo gods who created this magnificent piece of sacred masturbation technology. This toy is like cat nip for my downstairs kitty, going fucking feral on it with the tantalizing buzz and silky smooth exterior.

The Sona 3 comes fully equipped with 12 adjustable settings that will have your eyes rolling back and head spinning with pure pleasure. My favorite feature is cruise control which increases intensity automatically when pushed hard against the body. The toy literally molds to your wants and desires by intuitively adjusting to suit your needs.

My partner and I are long distance, but the Lelo app makes it a breeze to have intimate moments when we're apart. The Love Bridge feature on the app allows my partner to join in on the fun, and has me cumming head over heels almost immediately. All 12 modes on the toy are fantastic, my favorite is mode number 7. Nope, no spoilers from me, go in blind and thank me later. Hit the comment section when mode number 7 blows your pussy wide open. Nut nut nut nut nut, so much nut.

My overall experience with the Sona 3 was enhanced by the easy to use button controls on the toy. With only three buttons it was easy to switch between modes and intensities depending on my horn dog level for the day. Fair warning: if you use the Sona 3 you may not be able to get anything productive done because it will have you busting a nut again and again, this toy is hungry for nut juice. It can't be satisfied by one masturbation session, it demands 2,3,4,5, even 6 per day. Call me a serial masturbator, you caught me red handed, the toy drove me to this madness (in the best way possible).

Packaging

Unboxing Never Looked So Premium

The Lelo Sona 3 Cruise Sonic Clitoral Massager is delivered in a sleek black box, with the outline of the toy visible through the front facing clear shell. The simplicity of the packing is what makes the whole experience feel luxurious and premium. The box is sturdy, so I kept it as a great way to display the toy. I keep it up high on my shelf for everyone to see, like it's a fucking museum piece. Included in the shipment is an instruction manual, warranty registration card, charging cable, lube, and a carrying case. All of these elements speak to Lelo's attention to detail and dedication to curating an excellent customer experience. The actual packaging of the outer box that the toy came in was super discreet, and I couldn't tell what had been delivered initially. No notes, keep doing what you're doing Lelo!

Materials and care

Was it easy to clean and maintain?

The Sona 3 is 100% waterproof which makes cleanup an easy process. Before and after I use this toy I run it under some water and scrub down with unscented soap. I like to ensure that the inside of the suction tube is dry before storing it in it's case, this is done by using a cotton ball or Q-Tip to wick up any remaining moisture on the silicone. The whole cleaning process takes under 5 minutes, its a super simple procedure.

I didn't see any factory residue when I first received the product, it appeared to be in perfection condition. However, I would advise that you clean the toy before its first use just to ensure your safety. This is true for all sex toys, even if you can't see the residue or bacteria, it doesn't mean that it's not there. A little scrub with soap and water will save you from any potential mishaps.

Price

Spenny a Little More Than a Penny

I am not going to sugar coat the price, the Sona 3 retails for roughly $179. Since I work for ToyChats I was able to get this baby for free, however, after using it I can confidently say that I would happily pay full price for this clit sucker. It is truly unlike anything I have ever encountered in the wild west of sex toys. That said, I know that this price is a little ominous, so I will give you the two drawbacks that I had with this product.

The first being the size of the sucker hole. The hole that you stick on your clit is very small, and I fear that it may be a challenge for big clitted girls to fully enjoy all that the toy has to offer. The other thing worth considering before purchasing is your preferred intensity level from a toy. This toy definitely packs a punch, and if your vagina is not in the heavy hitter weight class, don't be ashamed you just saved yourself $179. However, I found that the intensities were a nice speed and pressure making it perfect for those who like a little fire in the flaps. This toy has more than made up for its big price tag with the amount of times I have used it. Realistically this is probably my most used toy, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

    Doxy Original Massager Review: Good Vibes All Around

    The Doxy Original Massager is a great time for anyone looking to expand into the vibrating toy realm. The three button control system was intuitive, and it was easy to go back and forth between vibration intensities. This toy was very rumbly as opposed to buzzy, and the higher settings proved to be very intense. This wand was on the heavier side, and it was a little difficult to hold in place for long periods of time. Since the user has full control in terms of intensity, it was very easy to edge with this device. It took me like 30 minutes to reach an orgasm which is great because I tend to relish in my intimate experiences.

  • Funzze Super Powerful Massager: The Buzz-Worthy Truth

    Funzze Super Powerful Massager: The Buzz-Worthy Truth

    The Funzze Super Powerful Massager is a great addition to any toy collection, fully equipped with 8 speeds and 20 vibration modes, this vibe will rock your world. What I appreciated about this massager was I could use it all over my body, which is not something that is applicable for all sex toys. I started my exploration by using the massager on my clit, but the vibrations were pretty powerful so I opted for putting a thin towel between my clit and the massager for more gentle vibrations to the area. After I got warmed up, I was able to forgo the towel, and use the massager directly on my clit. The vibrations were strong, and I was able to orgasm quickly, which was surprising because the toys in my collection usually take me 10-40 minutes to reach my climax. I am still learning the speeds and intensities that are best for my body, but I can say I really enjoyed the Funzze massager.
