- Pros
- No IPX rating provided but does claim to be fully submersible, I'd advice to use at your own risk.
- Having a variety of intensities available is pretty nice especially when used with first 3 settings.
- Cons
- Funky smell when initially opened. Not quite sure how to describe it, but off-putting nonetheless.
- The increase and decrease buttons are in the wrong place according to the manual and initial logic.
- Not a big fan of having my sex toy named after a person, especially another woman... Uncomfortable.
- Lack of pouch for storage, traveling convenience and ability to keep the device clean between uses.
- Dildo and clit stimulator are not controlled separately but together and strangely. Not a fan.
For this product a bulleted list feels more appropriate than a paragraph style description.
- The increase and decrease buttons are reversed both in looks and wiring. Rather than the top button increasing the intensity and the bottom decreasing like logic states would make sense and even how the instruction manual has it.... the product is opposite.
- The product starts out on the 4th intensity, not the lowest and you work your way up, nope you're in the middle and need to adjust either way to find what you prefer. Personally I don't like it, but I could see this being acceptable.
- The dildo and clit stimulator are not on two separate buttons they are on one, the middle, and it alternates the settings weird and almost uncomfortably. Personally wish they were separate.
- I'm personally not a fan of pink, it'd be nice if Steph was in other colors I suppose.
- The product has an overwhelming funky rubbery plastic smell that can't be gotten rid of it seems.
- The base of the neck close to the clitoral stimulator has an unexpected flex to it that initially made me think I was going to break it.
- No run time or charge time provided in manual or on the site.
This is a strange toy in so many ways: the name, the color, the smell, the switched buttons, and the way it operates.
To turn the device on and off hold the middle button for 3 seconds.
The device starts on the 4th intensity the moment you turn it on, you must then hit the top bottom to decrease the intensity or the bottom button to increase it. The device has 10 settings and they are as follows:
- Dildo only
- Clit Stimulator only
- Both parts
- Pattern - long dildo only, long clit only.. repeat
- Dildo only - rave beat like pattern, kind of makes you want to fist pump in the air lol.
- Clit only - rave beat like pattern, kind of makes you want to fist pump in the air lol.
- Pattern - alternates between the two, sounds like a washing machine running during a rave
- Both parts - rave beat like pattern
- Both parts - quick alternation between the two
- Dildo only - washing machine running sound/beat
Don't get me wrong, it's a toy that still got the job done thanks to settings 1-3 and different intensities, but I dislike more about it than I like and that's just a bummer.
This package consists of 7 colors wrapped around it in an unexplainable way, with 4 colors of text and a similar golden lined design to that of the My Little Friend and Serenity Stick.
The front is a clear plastic cover with the company name written and the usual line design etched on it in gold. It showcases the product itself, a mostly white cover panel with somewhat patterned grooves of 3-4 different colors. One side features all 7 colors in a menagerie of a pattern with the device name and description written in white and the company name in gold, while the other side is also very colorful and hodge podgey with the company site in gold. The back has the company name in gold, the product name in pink and all of the product features written in purple. The features are as follows: 6 of them are depicted in icon form with the short description while 8 are written out, again with the funky 4 being bulleted while the others aren't.
I wish I could understand the pattern even a little, I almost think it is strawberry-esque in some areas, and overall it seems a bit playful and fun, but honestly it mostly makes no sense. If the product wasn't showcased front and center but had a panel like cover like My Little Friend does, I'd consider walking up to the counter with it, as is, still can't own it lol.
Inside the package: The product itself, a charger, and an instruction sheet.
The disappointment does not fade with the lack of a bag for storage. An air freshener would have been nice to counteract the smell of the product.

Ease of Use General Sense - Lovense Osci 3 Wins!
- Pure Envy Stephanie - Illogical button layout, both parts are controlled by single button and stuck with whatever pattern is on either, neck of dildo has unexpected flex, but variation in intensity is nice.
- Lovense Osci 3 - Each part has its own dedicated button and can be on different settings at the same time, varying settings for each and heating function.
App - Lovense Osci 3 Wins - Another way to control it and varying the settings is nice.
- Pure Envy Stephanie - No.
- Lovense Osci 3 - Yes.
Overall Winner by Personal Preference - Lovense Osci 3. Though it's horrifyingly pink to the point of eye damage, it's vastly superior in every other way.
