The Lovense Max 2 is the Lovense stroker most people start with, but it is not the only Lovense toy made for men. The Solace thrusts on its own, the Edge 2 targets the prostate, and the Gush 2 Motion sits on the head of the penis. This guide explains how each one works and who it suits, with live Canadian prices from our store, so you can pick the right one the first time.

Lovense Max 2: what does it actually do?
The Lovense Max 2 is a hand-held stroker with two motors inside. One vibrates. The other drives air contractions, so the sleeve squeezes in a rhythm while you move it. You still do the stroking; the Max 2 adds sensation rather than motion.
A flip-cap vent at the closed end lets you change the suction. Close it for a tighter pull, or open it to let air in. The neutral sleeve has a textured interior and stretches to fit most sizes. The body is 9.5 inches long and 3.33 inches wide.
Who is the Max 2 for?
It suits people who already enjoy a manual sleeve and want more from it. It is also the strongest long-distance pick here. Our listing says it syncs with another Max 2, a Lovense Nora ($148.89 CAD) or a Lovense Calor ($151.89 CAD), so each toy reacts to the other's movement from any distance.
Who should skip it?
Skip it if you want zero hand work. It is splash resistant, not waterproof, so it stays out of the shower. One small note from the listing: the app lost its Spotify music sync in September 2022, so older reviews that mention it are out of date.
At $147.89 it is the lowest-priced app-controlled stroker in the Lovense range we carry. Spare sleeves are sold separately: a neutral sleeve ($20.89) and a vagina-shaped sleeve ($25.95). We suggest it as a first app-controlled toy for men because it is familiar to use and easy to share control of.
Lovense Solace Pro vs the original Lovense Solace
The Lovense Solace models are machines, not hand toys. A motor moves the sleeve up and down while a desk mount, adjustable through 180 degrees, holds it in place. That makes them fully hands-free.
The Solace Pro is rated at up to 300 strokes per minute and up to 14 hours per charge. It is IPX4 water resistant and peaks at 63 dB. Its AI Sync feature matches the motion to videos and live streams. The total length is 9.1 inches, and the sleeves are interchangeable.
The original Lovense Solace lists 280 strokes per minute and customizable strokes up to 2.75 inches deep. At our current prices it costs $6 more than the Pro. For most buyers, that makes the Pro the clear choice. The original only makes sense if a stated stroke depth matters to you, because the Pro's listing does not give one.
Both are large and need a stable surface. If you live with others, the motor hum is the main trade-off. Our automatic male masturbator guide compares the Solace models with other hands-free options in more depth.
Lovense Edge 2: is it a good first prostate massager?
Yes, for many people. The Lovense Edge is a compact vibrating prostate massager with a modest insertable length of 3.58 inches and a 1.38 inch diameter. Its adjustable head lets you aim the vibration where it feels best.
The Edge 2 is body-safe silicone and IPX7 waterproof, so it can be rinsed under the tap. It charges in about 100 minutes and runs for up to 1.5 hours. Like the Max 2, it connects to the same app for patterns and remote control.
Choose it if you are curious about prostate play and want an app-controlled option a partner can run. Skip it if you prefer a hands-free toy that moves without power, such as a classic Aneros-style massager. Also skip it if you want a long session away from a charger, since 1.5 hours is the shortest run time in this guide.

Lovense Gush 2 Motion: the fourth option
The Gush 2 Motion is neither a sleeve nor an insertable toy. It wraps around the glans and combines vibration with a targeted oscillation on the frenulum. A band holds it in place, so it is hands-free.
Its built-in gyroscope is unusual. Tilting or shaking it sends patterns to a connected toy, such as a partner's Max 2 or Solace Pro. It costs $152.89. Choose it if you want hands-free play without the size of a Solace.
Which Lovense toy for men should you buy?
Pick by the sensation you want, then check the budget. Each of these toys does a different job, so the "best" one depends on how you like to play.
- You enjoy stroking: the Max 2. It adds squeeze and vibration to a motion you already like.
- You want to lie back: the Solace Pro. It does all the moving.
- You are curious about the prostate: the Edge 2. It is small, waterproof and simple to clean.
- You want hands-free and compact: the Gush 2 Motion.
A useful decision rule: if you are unsure, start with the cheapest toy that matches your main interest. You can add a second toy later and pair the two in the app.
Can you use these Lovense toys with a partner?
Yes. Every toy in this guide connects to the Lovense Remote app over Bluetooth. A partner nearby can control it from their phone, and a partner far away can control it over the internet. The Max 2 can also pair with another Max 2, a Nora or a Calor, so both toys respond to each other.
Agree on limits and a stop signal before you hand over control. If one of you lives in another city, our guide to long-distance sex toys explains setup step by step. You can see every model side by side in our Lovense Canada collection.
Are these toys safe, and how do you care for them?
Yes, with lube, cleaning and a slow start. Masturbation itself is safe. Planned Parenthood calls it "totally healthy and normal" and advises using a good lubricant because "it lowers friction, which helps prevent small tears in your skin."
Prostate play needs extra care. The Sexual Medicine Society of North America notes that "the anus does not self-lubricate," so lube is essential. It also says anal toys need "a wide enough base that they will not go all the way into the body." Only use toys designed for anal use, such as the Edge 2, and never improvise.
Use a water-based lubricant with every toy here unless the maker says otherwise. Wash sleeves and insertable parts after each use and let them dry fully. Keep the Max 2 and Solace motors away from running water. Our sex toy cleaning guide covers each material.
How we chose these toys
We looked at every Lovense toy for men that Red Pleasures stocks and checked live stock and price on the day of writing. We included each one that does a distinct job: a stroker, a thrusting machine, a prostate massager and a glans massager. Specs come from our product listings, and we say plainly where a figure is not published.
FAQ
Is the Lovense Max 2 worth it?
The Lovense Max 2 is worth it if you enjoy manual strokers and want vibration and air contractions added. At $147.89 CAD it is the lowest-priced app-controlled Lovense stroker we carry. It is not hands-free, so choose a Solace model if you want the toy to do the moving.
What is the difference between the Max 2 and the Solace?
The Max 2 is held and moved by hand, then adds vibration and squeeze. The Solace models thrust the sleeve for you on a mount, so they are hands-free. The Max 2 is smaller and costs less; the Solace Pro is faster and runs longer.
Is the Lovense Solace Pro better than the original Solace?
For most buyers, yes. In our store the Lovense Solace Pro costs $252.89 CAD, $6 less than the original. It is rated at 300 strokes per minute against 280 and lists up to 14 hours per charge. The original states a stroke depth of up to 2.75 inches.
Is the Lovense Edge 2 good for beginners?
The Lovense Edge 2 is a reasonable first prostate toy. Its insertable length is 3.58 inches with a 1.38 inch diameter, and it is waterproof for easy cleaning. Start on low vibration, use plenty of water-based lube and go slowly.
Can I use the Max 2 in the shower?
No. Our listing describes the Max 2 as splash resistant, not waterproof. Keep the motor end away from running water and clean the sleeve separately. The Edge 2 is the waterproof option in this guide, with an IPX7 rating.
Do Lovense toys for men need Wi-Fi?
Not for local play. Each toy pairs with your phone over Bluetooth through the Lovense Remote app. Long-distance control needs an internet connection on both phones, using Wi-Fi or mobile data, so a partner can send commands from anywhere.
What lube should I use with Lovense toys?
Use a water-based lubricant with sleeves and silicone toys unless the maker says otherwise. Water-based formulas rinse out easily and do not damage soft sleeve materials. Reapply during longer sessions, especially with the Solace Pro.
Can two Lovense toys work together?
Yes. Our listing says the Max 2 syncs with another Max 2, a Nora or a Calor. The Gush 2 Motion can also drive a connected partner's toy through its gyroscope. Both people need the Lovense Remote app.
