Proper charging is crucial for the longevity of your Lovense products. While charging methods slightly differ depending on the specific model, the core principles remain the same across the whole product lineup, which we explore in depth in this guide. By learning about proper charging you ensure your gadgets remain in optimal condition and last for a long time!
- Lovense supports two charging methods: the traditional plug-in charger and the more modern magnetic charger.
- The plug-in method involves physically connecting the charging cord to the device and plugging it into a power source.
- The magnetic charger eliminates the need for plug-in ports, relying on a secure magnetic connection between the toy and the Lovense charging cable for efficient and convenient recharging. Just connect the magnetic charging port to your toy, and plug it into a USB port on a laptop or desktop computer, or a USB/AC power adapter.
- Once connected, the indicator light will let you know when it is fully charged. This light turns off once the battery is fully charged, which typically takes around 1-2 hours. If you’re experiencing any battery issues, consult the user manual for troubleshooting tips.
1. Plug-in Charger
Plug-in charging is the traditional way of charging electronic devices, including Lovense toys. It involves physically connecting the cord to the toy and plugging it into a power source. Despite magnetic systems coming a long way, plug-in charging is still a reliable and popular method for many Lovense products. You can see me demonstrating how the plug in charger works on Lush 2 in the below image.
Note: The Domi 2 from Lovense has an exceptional battery lifespan, exceeding that of the majority of other wands available. It conveniently uses a universal USB charging cord, allowing you to effortlessly plug it into different USB ports like those found on phone chargers or laptops.
- Locate the charging port on your Lovense toy.
- Firmly insert the charging cord into the charging port.
- Plug the other end of the cord into a power source, such as a wall adapter or a computer USB port.
- Wait for the toy to fully charge.
- Disconnect the cord from the device and the power source.
2. Magnetic Charger
Lovense toys, like all modern rechargeable sex toys, come with innovative magnetic charging. This technology eliminates the need for traditional plug-in charging ports and instead has a magnetic connection to ensure a secure and hassle-free process.
- Prepare the Cable and Power Source: Plug the USB end of the magnetic cable into any USB port on your computer or a USB/AC power adapter. Make sure the USB power source provides the appropriate power output for efficient charging.
- Align and Attach the Magnetic Charger: Position the magnetic cable’s connector accurately over the charging port. It should “pop” into place when you have them aligned correctly. The magnetic attraction will cause the toy to connect into place, and the charger will hold it securely.
- Observe the Indicator: Once it’s connected to the magnetic field, a solid red light will illuminate, indicating that charging has begun. This red indicator light is a visual confirmation that it’s charging properly.
- Monitor the Charging Time: Allow your device to charge for approximately 2 hours. During this time, the solid red light will remain on, indicating that the battery is filling up with juice.
- Complete Charging and Disconnect: When the battery is full, the solid red light will turn off. Unplug the toy and it’s now ready for use.
- Troubleshooting – Red Light Not Appearing: If the solid red light doesn’t light up, attempt to rotate the cable 180 degrees and reconnect it. This adjustment can ensure proper alignment for the magnetic connection.
- Maintenance and Storage: After disconnecting, store the magnetic charger in a safe and dry place until the next charging session. Avoid exposing the charger to water or liquids, as this can cause damage to both the charger and the toy.
Pro Tips: Unlike Lush 2, the upgraded Lush 3 has a modern magnetic charger. This feature complements the Lush 3’s extended battery life of up to 5 hours of continuous use and an impressive standby time of up to 30 days, making it a delightful choice for users seeking both lasting pleasure and effortless recharging.
Maintaining and Caring for Battery Life
Battery Cycles
Lithium-ion batteries (like those in Lovense devices) are rated to last from 300-15,000 full charging cycles. A cycle is fully charging the battery and then fully draining it. However, it’s best to avoid fully draining the battery whenever possible, as this can shorten its lifespan. Instead, aim to keep the battery level between 20-80% at all times.
Charging Methods
Always use the cable that comes with your Lovense device to ensure optimal charging performance with the battery. Avoid using third-party cables, as these may not provide the correct voltage or amperage for your device, which can result in slower charging times or even damage the battery life.
The Charge Time
It’s important to avoid overcharging the battery because this can also shorten its lifespan. Once the device is fully charged, unplug it from the charger to avoid putting unnecessary strain on the battery. Most Lovense products will fully charge in 1-2 hours.
Troubleshooting Charging Issues
If you’re having any problems with your Lovense toy, don’t worry. There are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the charging problem:
Not plugged in properly: First, make sure that the cable is securely connected to both the Lovense toy and the power source. If it still not charging, try a different power source or cable.
Empty Battery: Another thing to check is the battery life. If the battery is completely drained, the toy may take a few minutes to begin charging. If it’s still not charging after a few minutes, contact the manufacturer for assistance. You can read our guide about Lovense shipping and packaging to learn more about their replacement policy.
Weak Energy Supply: If you’re using a laptop to charge your toy, make sure it’s not in sleep mode. Some laptops also don’t provide enough power to charge the batteries. A better alternative is a power bank or a wall plug because they are more efficient when charging your battery.
Incorrect Cable: You must use a high-quality, magnet-based cable. Using a low-quality or incompatible one can damage the motor or cause it to overheat. You can buy a replacement charger on the official website.
Finally, be careful when you lubricate your toy. Only use water-based lubricants, as oil-based lubricants will damage the surface. Plus, clean and dry it thoroughly before and after each use to prolong its life.

Thanks for the reminder that it’s important to store sex toys in areas where they wouldn’t collect dust. I’m interested in buying a Lovense Max 2 Bluetooth remote controlled male masturbator because my partner and I are interested in being a bit more experimental in bed. I think he will also be delighted to have something like that because our sex drives can sometimes not be on the same page on certain days.
