Lovense Ambi: The Little Engine That Could...and Did

The Lovense Ambi is a small, ergonomically designed bullet vibrator measuring approximately 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches. It features an easy-to-grip handle and a three-pointed design that offers varied stimulation options. The broad side delivers deep, rumbling sensations ideal for overall stimulation, while the blunt and pinpoint edge brings more direct, intense focus to the clitoris. The device includes a single button for cycling through three steady vibration levels and ten pattern options, though its true potential is unlocked when using the Lovense Remote app. With the app, users can create customised patterns, sync vibrations to music or videos, and even share or explore pre-made patterns by the community.

Partner Experience The first time using the Lovense Remote app for long-distance play was, admittedly, a mix of curiosity and a bit of trial and error. After a few moments of initial confusion (definitely user error on my part), I quickly realised just how straightforward the setup was. All it took was downloading the app, turning on the Ambi toy, connecting it via Bluetooth, and then either sending my partner a link or adding them as a friend within the app. Once we were set up, the fun began. The controls on the partner’s end were surprisingly intuitive. They had access to a variety of options: a traditional control panel, setting a floating pattern to maintain a steady rhythm, and looping a custom pattern. This meant my partner could focus on experimenting with different sensations while I could just relax and enjoy. What really stood out was how seamless the long-distance element felt. It didn’t feel like we were miles apart. My partner loved creating custom patterns in real time, but they mentioned how useful the other features were for "multitasking" or when they wanted a more hands-off experience. It was thrilling to give up control completely and let my partner guide the experience. The combination of trust, surprise, and playful experimentation made it an unforgettable evening. Solo Experience When using the Lovense Remote app solo, it’s just as easy and surprisingly versatile. The control options allow you to customise everything to your preferences, whether you want a steady pattern or something you build in real time. It’s intuitive and responsive, making it feel much more personal than I initially expected. The flexibility of creating and saving patterns means you can tailor the experience to suit your mood, whether you want something relaxing or a little more intense. For lazier moments, I loved using the “Discover” section to find patterns shared by the community. It was perfect to take the pressure off creating something myself, letting me focus entirely on the experience. I also tested the music sync feature, where the vibrations match the beat of a song. While it technically worked (with only occasional misses due to the Spotify sync beta), the overall experience didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I found the experience underwhelming—it was more of a novelty than something I’d use regularly. With all that said, even without a partner, the app really elevates the toy’s functionality allowing you to explore many ways to use the Ambi. Note: You can connect multiple toys to the app at the same time... do with it what you will. (Image source: "How to use Lovense Remote app," Lovense Official Site)

Crafted from body-safe silicone, the Ambi feels soft to the touch. Its smooth surface glides effortlessly on the skin and lends itself well to use with lubricants. The toy's weight strikes a perfect balance—light enough to be comfortable but with a sturdy feel that promises durability. The IPX7 waterproof rating ensures it's safe for bath and shower play and makes cleaning simple with mild soap and water. This high-quality construction suggests that the Ambi is built to last, making it a smart investment for anyone looking for long-term satisfaction.

At $109 USD (current discounted price of $59 USD on Lovense), the Ambi sits in the mid-to-high price range of bullet vibrators but offers excellent value for its features and performance.

The Ambi packs a surprisingly strong punch for its size. The vibrations are deep and rumbly, capable of reaching intensities that satisfy even those who prefer more powerful toys. Despite this, it remains quiet enough that even on the highest settings, only a low hum is audible, easily muffled by a blanket or background noise. The Bluetooth connection to the app is generally reliable, enhancing the experience with customisable patterns and remote play capabilities. Although occasional disconnects can occur, they are infrequent (only happened once in my experience).

The packaging for the Lovense Ambi is minimalist and practical. It includes the toy itself, a USB magnetic charger, a user manual, and a black satin drawstring storage pouch. The straightforward packaging reflects the product’s no-nonsense approach, prioritizing function and ease of use over flashy presentation. While it may not be as lavish as some luxury toys, it’s effective and aligns well with the Lovense's overall aesthetic.

The Lovense Ambi is made from high-quality, body-safe silicone. The material is soft, smooth, and non-porous, ensuring easy cleaning and maintenance. With its IPX7 waterproof rating, it’s fully submersible, no worries about washing it under running water. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water or a designated toy cleaner will keep the Ambi in top condition. To maintain its longevity, it’s best stored in the provided satin pouch, away from other silicone toys to prevent material reactions.

The standout feature of the Lovense Ambi is its app-controlled functionality, which elevates its versatility to a whole new level. Through the app, users can connect with partners from anywhere in the world, making it ideal for long-distance relationships or simply introducing a playful element to intimacy. The ability to create custom vibration patterns or choose from an extensive library of pre-made options ensures that the experience can be tailored to any mood or desire. For added creativity, the app syncs vibrations with music, videos, audiobooks, or even live voice input, creating unique, immersive experiences every time.
