Lovense Nora Review: Is This Curvy Lady Worth The High Price?!

Video Review

Rantings of a Mad Woman!

Once again I find myself wondering why my toy is named after a woman, and why it mostly seems to be rabbits that are named after women and not any other style (at least in my collection)... At least Nora feels a bit nicer and less stuck up than Tifany with one "F" or Cleo from the Bratz Pack lol. I'm ecstatic that the features are capable of being controlled separately both manually and in the app, rather than only in the app or not at all. To pay the original price, or even the sale price honestly, and be stuck with a rabbit that has features that can't be controlled separately is, would be and has been a bit bullshit, especially given the era of tech that we're currently in.... Different areas have different sensitivities and/or enjoy different sensations so to have the capability to treat them as such is awesome but should almost be a given now lol.

The handle material and the limited 3 rotation settings, even though it can switch directions, don't feel worth original asking price at all and is kind of pushing it even at the sale price.. especially when I have cheaper toys in my collection that have an overall better build and/or more features. Perhaps they feel the fact that it can be paired with and controlled by certain other Lovense toys is supposed to be the justification gimmick for the high price? *Shrug*

Regardless, she's definitely better than some of the other girls in my collection, especially in regards to brains and looks lol.

Mini Summary!

Lovense's Nora is a curvy girl with a decent stature about her and a bit of an appendage flex that allows her to fit in with a bigger variety of girls. Her not so little appendage has 7 tricks up its sleeve, 3 single vibes and 4 patterns, that are sure to delight on the first date, while her curvy shaft will have your head spinning 3 times one way and 3 times another. Holding her top button will turn her on, while pressing it explores her 7 wonders; after her top button has been held down, the bottom button can be pressed to cycle through the 3 rotating features and held to change the direction. If that's not enough settings or just one button too many, she can also be controlled by the Lovense App and all of its features.... or she can sync up with a few other friends from Lovense and react to each of their moves. She's capable of entertaining for around 4hrs 5min, but will need to rest for at least 2.5hrs after doing so and requires a magnetic charger to get things going again. Due to her IPX6 rating, Nora prefers showers over baths as baths can be a bit too much.

Depending on the time of year she can either be a pretty expensive date ($200) or a somewhat cheaper one ($100), either way she can be found hanging out around Lovense's site.

Packaging!

Any Lovense package that isn't as bright, obnoxious or pink as the Osci 3 is a win in my book. In fact, I'm pretty sure this has been the design of every Lovense box I've received since then, and that is and has been an utter blessing. It's super simplistic and modern, yet almost as retro feeling as the DYSO logo at the same time. I like that it came sealed in the plastic wrap as the tamper seal, I feel it wasted less plastic than the amount used by We-Vibe for he Rave....

Not quite a toy you can get away with claiming is something else entirely, but I think I might be alright with that... Given the organization and simplicity of the information on the box, and lack of overtly sexual images of any kind, I don't think I'd be that self conscious about walking up to a counter with this one.

What's In The Box?!

Inside the package: the product itself, a storage/travel pouch, a magnetic charger and a manual.

Though it's not depicted here, I like how it was presented in the box as it seems minimal in materials. A simple foam cutout with a spot for the toy and charger, with the storage pouch and manual laid out underneath and a thin plastic wrap around the outside of the packaging to act as the tamper seal.

Other than that I love that it came with a storage/travel pouch as I always find that to be an awesome edition and the least they could do when they are charging an arm and a leg for a toy, only because I think they would want it to feel protected or want to encourage it to be traveled with.

Back That App Up!

Lovense's app is super simple to use!

1. Simply take a picture of the QR code in the manual or on the back of the box and download the Lovense App.

2. Turn the device on by holding the top button for about 3 seconds.

3. Open the app and allow it to find your device, once it connects you're all set!

4. Make an account in order to use different features!

You can use a remote feature, save your own patterns for later use, give access to another person and chat while they take control, or sync it up to your favorite music!

There are also so many other features to be explored in this app:

1. Access patterns created by other users

2. Play roulette and connect with a stranger

3. Access 16 other apps/games in their gallery

4. Connect to your partner across the world

You can even have your toy sync and vibrate to:

1. Any nearby sound

2. The speed of the car you're a passenger in, Uber just got a lot more interesting... lol

3. Your favorite game

4. Your alarm clock settings

5. A Youtube video

The possibilities for pleasure are limitless!

The Clitoral Stimulator

Information and Operation: To power the device ON/OFF simply hold the top button for about 2sec. Once the device is ON, the 7 preset features of the clitoral stimulator can be accessed/cycled through by continuously pressing the top button.

First and foremost, the bulb of the appendage naturally sits too high on my body, lining the shaft of the small appendage with the clit more than anything. Thankfully its flexible nature allowed that to be somewhat rectified with ease.

The 3 single vibrations were definitely my favorite of the 7 and were strong enough to go from a decently intimate slow paced finish to a nice faster paced finish. The first pattern was god awful, the second was okay, the third was pretty meh and the fourth was okay.

The Rotating Shaft!

Information and Operation: To power the device ON/OFF simply hold the top button for about 2sec. Once the device is ON, the 3 preset rotations of the shaft can be accessed/cycled through by continuously pressing the bottom button. To change the direction of the rotation, simply hold the bottom button for about 2sec.

The girth of this toy is quite a bit to take in and the length is rather decent as well, making it a rather nice dildo to use on its own. The rotation feature felt strangely lack luster on its own, I could tell it was happening but it wasn't a WOW feeling like Swirlii doing its rotational moves. Strangely is was more noticeable and enjoyable when used in combination with the clitoral stimulator. I think once something started to actually feel aroused in any sense the sensitivity of all areas picked up.

I didn't care to "test" the app during the initial go as I care more about what the toy can do for me on its own without it. Since I was able to find settings that did the job that way, it's a no brainer that doing anything with the app would pan out as well.
