Although the name may suggest something soft, gentle and loving, the Lovely Couple’s ring is anything but. Intense and intuitive, this well-made, first-edition fuck toy is staged to become everyone’s wet dream. But, as it is with any new sex toy, the claims don’t always match the experience. So, I set out to determine the value of this supposedly vivacious vibe once and for all. Here’s what I found out:
What Is the Lovely Couple’s Ring?
This amazingly unique sex toy is unlike anything on the market today.
And I know I’ve said that before about other toys, but the Lovely Couple’s Ring is in a league of its own. In fact, it was the recipient of the 2019 XBIZ Award for Innovative Sex Toy of the Year. With a resume like that, it’s no wonder that this instrument of double trouble has sold millions of units so far.
Designed to give pleasure to both the wearer and the receiver, Lovely uses patented technology to produce a series of sensations with the touch of a button. Furthermore, it can be used during vaginal or anal sex and has the ability to take on a life of its own. Skin-safe, lube-friendly and more durable than it looks, the Lovely Couple’s Ring has become the answer to our long-time question: When will my sex toy know me better than I know myself?
The Main Features
I give the Lovely Ring so much credit because its list of features is not only long but also astounding.
So, while there’s a plethora of similar options on other modern-day sex toys, the execution of said options on the Lovely Couple’s Ring is second to none. Here’s why I say that:
- It uses the brand’s patented Lovely 2.0 and Desire-Sensing Technologies, which give personalized activity suggestions based on your average usage. Inspiration comes in the form of recommended positions, sensual techniques and other sexy ideas for future sessions.
- The personalized OS is supported by motion sensors and an in-app algorithm, meaning you can operate this bad boy on your smart phone or tablet.
- The app can even track how many calories you burned during sex or masturbation.
- It has a ridged clitoral stimulation pad that helps generate a female orgasm during intercourse.
- It also features a stretchy ring that wraps around the man’s penis, acting as a cock ring.
- The Lovely Couple’s Ring offers 8 different vibration modes to explore as well.
- It’s made from skin-safe, hypoallergenic silicone that works wonders with a good water-based lube.
- You can take it with you into the shower or bath, as it’s completely waterproof.
- It uses a wireless charging dock that sends energy to your toy with a simple USB cable.
- Users can control the various functions from anywhere in the world via the Lovely app, making this toy the ideal companion for long-distance relationships.
The measurements of the Lovely Couple’s Ring are on point as well. Its pliable ring has a maximum diameter of 2 inches and a minimum of 1.25. And in case you were wondering because of its massive stretchiness, this thing contains absolutely no latex or phthalates.
What Comes in the Box?
I won’t name names here, but some sex toy manufacturers give away a few freebies with their products. The brand who makes the Lovely Couple’s Ring does not, however. So, don’t expect much more than the bare essentials when you open the box, which contains the following items: 
- The Lovely App-Controlled Couple’s Ring (of course)
- A charging dock
- A USB cable for the dock
- A free app for Android and/or iOS
The box itself is most disappointing. For such a high-tech thingamajig, you’d think it would at least come in a container that could double as storage. Another nope there, ladies and gentlemen. I hate to be the barer of bad news.
How It Feels
At first, I wasn’t exactly blown away by the sensations produced by the Lovely Couple’s Ring. It seemed like a decent concept, but something was missing. It wasn’t until that Desire-Sensing Technology kicked in that I could understand the relatively big price tag on this little contraption. 
Still, it took several uses before any of the intuitive suggestions were up to par, meaning this thing only starts to impress once you get to know it (or it gets to know you, I should say). As a stand-alone product without that feature, it leaves much to be desired. And I don’t know how I feel about that yet, but so far, I’m in a love-hate relationship with this thing. As much as I love the idea of a sex toy that can predict my desires, I’m not sure any man-made device can keep up with my kink.
As an intuitive sex toy, the app-controlled LCR performs as expected, with a few minor hiccups here and there as the system learns your habits. Of course, you might have to engage in a pretty mundane sex life for a while to get this thing to work as intended. On the flip side, the material is ultra-soft and it stretches nicely without sustaining rips, tears or weak spots. I did notice, however, that if you don’t dry it off as soon as you’re done washing it, the material will lose some of its softness and might deteriorate over time.
The Cheers and Jeers
You know nothing on today’s sex toy market is perfect, right? Good, because there are a few pros and cons to the Lovely Couple’s Ring that I think we should discuss. Shall we dance?
PROS
- Dip and Dive – Unlike most high-tech sex toys, you can take this one into the water without worrying about getting electrocuted. Yay!
- Shaft Craft – With a super stretchy ring that expands to more than 2 inches in diameter, this Lovely Couple’s Ring would fit nearly any man who wore it.
- Globetrotter – This thing can be controlled from all four corners of the world using the free smart phone app that doesn’t require a Bluetooth or internet connection – just data (or just internet if that’s how you want to play it).
- Friends with Benefits – The Lovely CR gets to know you like a good friend but always fucks you like a new hooker.
- His and Hers – As a specially designed couple’s toy, this bad mamma-jamma has the dimensions and ergonomics needed for plenty of dual pleasure seeking.
- Say 8 – With eight different vibe functions to explore on top of all the intuitive options, it’s very difficult to get bored with this toy.
- No Rash November – Regardless of the month, the hypoallergenic, phthalate-free silicone used on the Lovely Couple’s Ring will never leave you with skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
CONS
- Tiny Tim – The Lovely Couple’s Ring has a decent diameter and a favorable stretch, but it still might not fit all men.
- In and Out – The ridged clitoral pad is a nice touch but it doesn’t provide constant stimulation, which may make it difficult for some women to reach orgasm.
- His and Hers (Again) – Designed for sex between a man and a woman, this thing does very little for gay couples (unless that clit pad is somehow used on the anus).
- Sock Drawer Sorrows – With no included storage bag or box, the Lovely Couple’s Ring will have to live in your dusty ass sock drawer until the end of time.
The Final Verdict
Overall, the Lovely Couple’s Ring is an awesome concept that I hope the industry latches onto and expounds upon. As the first of its kind, flaws are bound to exist. But with enough honesty and ingenuity, we might get lucky enough to see a few new and improved versions in the near future. Like with any good thing, there’s bound to be some knock-offs. I wait with bated breath for that day.
