The market is flooded with clitoral-sucking toys, so when Lovense released Tenera, my first thought was, “Do we really need another clit sucker?” But after testing it for a couple of months, my answer is: yes, absolutely, but it depends on what you plan to do with it and your experience level. So whether you are new to clit sucking toys or own another model and wondering if Tenera is worth buying, you will find my review article valuable.
My first impression of Tenera was the unassuming appearance, so I was unsure what to anticipate. But upon using it, I was impressed. The ergonomic design made it easy to hold, and the beautiful color was a nice touch. I also appreciate how user-friendly it was, as I didn’t have to spend much time familiarizing myself with it. In addition, Lovense offers the best app on the market, making it an excellent option for long-distance couples.
Who Should Try It? Lovense Tenera is the best clit sucker for long-distance play due to the excellent Lovense remote app. Its closest competitor We-Vibe Melt has a good app too, but I believe the Lovense app is better because you have more freedom with pattern customizations.
Who Can Skip It? If you’re new to clit sucking toys, I recommend first buying a cheaper model since you probably don’t need all the bells and whistles that Tenera has. In addition, some vagina owners don’t like the sensations of clit suckers, so it’s safer to test the waters with something affordable, like Womanizer Pro40. In addition, it’s not the strongest clit sucker I tried. So if you’re an experienced user that wants a lot of sucking power, I recommend Womanizer Premium 2.
You Can Buy It on the official Lovense website for $99.

My Personal Experience
Introduction
The Tenera has a standard and unassuming appearance, so I was unsure what to anticipate. As someone who has always enjoyed clit play, after years of experimentation, my standards were relatively high.
However, upon using it, I was impressed. The ergonomic design made it easy to hold in place, and the beautiful color was a nice touch. I also appreciate how user-friendly it was, as I didn’t have to spend much time familiarizing myself with it.
The design and texture of the silicone felt satisfying on my body, and it stayed securely in place even while I was trembling on the verge of orgasm. I have to say the “surges” pattern was a favorite, hitting like a wave of pleasure.
I love long-distance play, and Lovense offers one of the best apps on the market. The rechargeable battery and waterproof design were bonuses. The device may be more expensive compared to other similar products. But, in my opinion, it is worth the investment.
Packaging
The packaging of the Lovense Tenera is sleek and sophisticated and feels high-quality. As you can see in the image below, it has a minimalist design with a glossy finish, and the product is displayed clearly on the front.
The box is also discreet, with no explicit images or language, making it easy to store or gift. All in all, I was satisfied, and it added to the overall first-rate feel of the product.
Build Quality
The device feels well-constructed in your hand and has an ideal weight. The buttons are responsive and easy to press, and the oval-shaped mouth of the device fits comfortably on the clitoris. I’ve had the Tenera for a few months and made the most of it, but it still looks and feels new and has held up without any damage, even after dropping it a few times.
Design
The Lovense Tenera looks like a fancy, high-tech vacuum cleaner for your vagina. But let me tell you. It’s more satisfying than cleaning your carpets. The oval-shaped mouth of the device design fits comfortably on the clitoris and in the palm of your hand, giving you easy and precise control during use.
The curvy body is smooth and seamless, eliminating any potential crevices or indentations where bacteria may gather and enhancing tactile pleasure during use. Overall, I found the design aesthetically pleasing and functional, while the small size makes it travel-friendly.
Materials
The materials used in the build of Tenera are high-grade silicone and ABS plastic, which are both non-toxic and body-safe. It’s also waterproof, making it easy to clean and use. Overall, the quality is excellent, and I have no doubt it will last for a long time with proper care.
Ease of use
The Tenera is a breeze to operate, making it perfect for quickly unwinding and satisfying my needs. The buttons are intuitive (circled below) and easy to press, making navigating the various suction and vibration settings simple. Its size is travel-friendly and fits comfortably in my grip, making it easy to hold and maneuver even in the shower.
Stimulations
The Tenera is like having your oral expert, with its unique air pulse technology mimicking the sensation of suction and kissing. Whether using it solo or with a partner, it will take you on a journey of discovery and pleasure. And let’s not forget about the mouth, designed to feel like a lover’s lips with a soft and squishy texture for ultimate comfort even when applied with pressure.
With a range of intensity levels, from a gentle whisper to an intense 5,000 air pulses per minute, you can customize your experience and explore new erogenous zones. Just remember to take your time and savor the ride because, with the Tenera, the journey is just as important as the destination.
Versatility
I thought I knew what versatility was, but the Tenera has completely redefined the word for me. This little device is like a Swiss Army knife of pleasure – it has a function for every occasion. Whether you’re looking for a quick solo session or a romantic long-distance date night, this toy has you covered.
Plus, the app is so intuitive that even my grandmother could figure it out (but I hope she doesn’t). The only downside? I may never leave my bed again. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to add some excitement to their love life.
Sound Level
The sound level of the Tenera is around 50 decibels (dB); think whispers in a library or a refrigerator running. While the device is pretty quiet at lower intensity levels, it can get loud at higher settings, and you may have to take extra precautions so that others cannot hear the toy in use. For those seeking an utterly silent toy to use discreetly or in public, the noise level is something to keep in mind when considering this sex toy.
App Control
I never thought long-distance relationships could be so fun until I discovered the Lovense remote app (screenshots below). Now, my partner and I can connect and play with the Touch of a button. Another great feature is the “Sync” mode which allowed me to connect my toy to my partner’s Lovense sex toys, letting us both experience pleasure together.
The app’s various functions are a real game-changer, and I never knew my phone could bring me so much joy. The device features vibrations, a gentle blowing sensation, and a suction function designed to simulate kissing and oral pleasure. The “Music Mode” was also a standout feature that added a layer of excitement to my playtime.
Minor issues I found during testing
While testing the Lovense Tenera, I encountered a few flaws (but not showstoppers). The suction feature was sometimes slightly finicky to adjust, and I had to fiddle with the settings to find a perfect level. The toy could also get a bit loud, which may dispirit those who value discretion. Additionally, the toy is not completely waterproof, so be mindful when using it in the shower or bath. These issues were minor and did not significantly impact my overall enjoyment of the toy, but they are worth noting for those concerned about them.

Research shows only one-quarter of women consistently climax during intercourse without clitoral stimulation. So, unless you are part of that lucky 25%, that little golden nugget we fondly refer to as a clit is usually the star of our one-woman show. Enters Lovense, the company that remembers users who enjoy oral sex, might not always have access to a generous lover. The company helped me learn new things about my body for an excellent cost-to-value ratio. I honestly couldn’t get enough of it. The glorious combination of air pressure and vibrations is a match made in heaven, with the bonus of being able to shower with it and wash away the day’s stress. I would highly recommend this device for any fans of clit play, especially if you enjoy experimenting from close or afar.
Pros
- Powerful Suction: Strong sucking sensations using air pressure technology for powerful orgasms.
- Ergonomic Design: Comfortable on the clitoris and in your hand.
- Customizable Settings: Personalizable experience using different suction levels and patterns.
- Remote Control: Engage in long-distance play via the app.
- Water-resistant: Waterproof for easy cleaning and shower or bath space.
- Rechargeable Battery: A built-in rechargeable and long-lasting battery to enjoy long sessions.
Cons
- Limited Stimulation: If you enjoy internal stimulation, you might opt for a device that combines both.
- Not Discrete: May not be suitable for those who want to use it in public or keep their sex toy usage private
- Cost: It may be more expensive than other less advanced but similar products on the market.
Who is This For?
If you enjoy oral sex, this machine is an ideal option for receiving those same sensations and powerful orgasms, minus the feelings of guilt that often accompany directing someone to the right places. The sex toy can be remotely controlled using a smartphone and is perfect for solo or long-distance play with a partner. Even if you have a sensitive clitoris, don’t worry. The device has a range of intensities, so you can start with a soft breath and slowly adjust the power as you go.
Who is This Not For?
The Tenera may not be a good fit for individuals who prefer internal stimulation, are not fond of suction on their clitoris, or have any health issues that make it uncomfortable to use. Also, if you’re looking for a sex toy to take outdoors, you may prefer something smaller and quieter. And, for those without access to a smartphone or internet connection, who cannot take advantage of the device’s remote control feature, you might be better off purchasing a similar but cheaper device without the advanced features.
How to Clean Lovense Tenera?
First, turn the device off and disconnect it from power. Use mild soap and warm water to clean the surface gently, and then thoroughly dry the device with a cloth. For the inside, remove the silicone head and wash it separately. Apply a small brush or cotton swab to the internal parts. After cleaning, reattach the silicone head and turn the device back on.
It’s essential to clean your toy before and after each use to maintain hygiene and prolong its lifespan. Avoid harsh or chemical cleaning products to avoid harming the surface of the device.
I am Sold! Where Can I Buy It?
You can purchase it from various online and physical retailers. Some popular options include the Lovense website, Amazon, and specific adult-oriented online stores. Ordering from the official store guarantees that the product you’re receiving is high-quality and comes with a warranty and customer support.

We-Vibe Melt
The We-Vibe Melt and the Lovense Tenera are two top contenders regarding suction toys. Both offer a unique suction sensation that mimics the feeling of oral pleasure, are app-controlled, made from body-safe materials, and have a high-quality and compact size. What sets the Melt apart is its unique combination of heat and powerful vibration. The innovative heat feature is easily adjustable to your desired temperature, providing you with the ultimate sensual experience.
Retailing at $209.00, ultimately, whether it is worth the investment will depend on your needs and budget. For those looking for a hot sexual experience, it may be well worth considering. You can read our We-Vibe Melt review here.
Lovehoney Rose Clitoral Stimulator
One of the key unique features of the Rose is its petal-like design, which is unlike anything else on the market. The shape allows for targeted stimulation, making it a good choice for those who prefer a more focused sensation.
Additionally, as with the Tenera, it comes with adjustable vibration intensities and remote app control, which are helpful features for users to tailor the experience to their individual preferences. Crafted from high-quality materials, it is also body-safe and relatively low-cost, retailing at only $79.95. You can read our Lovehoney Rose toy review here.
Lelo Sona 2 Cruise
The Lelo has a smaller design and more compact mouthpart than similar toys, allowing for more pinpointed stimulation. The size makes the device easy to handle and versatile for solo play or intercourse. The technology, known as Sensonic, creates pulses through sound waves resembling light tapping. And, with 12 suction settings, there’s a range of options for personalization.
However, the suction head may not be suitable for those with a larger clitoris or for those who prefer stimulation across a broader area. If this is not the case for you, the Lelo is an ideal toy to try, retailing at $129, not the cheapest on the market but worth it. (You can read our LELO Sona 2 Cruise review here.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How to store Lovense Tenera?
To ensure your toy is ready for use when you are, try to keep it in a secure location, away from moisture, direct sunlight, heat, or curious pets and children. To prevent any minor physical damage, store it in the protective pouch it came with (image below), and if you don’t plan on turning it on for a while, I recommend fully charging the battery before storing it.
How much does it cost?
Depending on the store and the location, the price can vary. I always check and compare different retailers for markdowns and promotions. However, the Lovense website usually has the best deals, often advertising the product with a 50% discount for only $99.00.
What lube to use?
I suggest applying a water-based lubricant because it is safe to use with silicone sex toys and won’t deteriorate the device’s material. It is also easy to clean and has a longer-lasting effect than oil or silicone-based products.
How long does it take to charge?
The Tenera only takes around 1 hour to charge. I plugged it in, and it was ready to go before I could even finish my coffee.
Is it waterproof?
Yes, the Lovense Temera is IPX6 waterproof, meaning it can be used in the shower or bath, making cleaning much more manageable. Keep in mind that the device should get securely sealed if you want to submerge it in water, and it shouldn’t have any remaining moisture inside after cleaning.
How long does the Tenera last?
The battery life persists for 1.5-2 hours, depending on usage. If you reach orgasm quickly, which is usually the case with this toy, you can get multiple uses before needing to charge it again.
How loud is it?
Although designed to be relatively silent, it isn’t whisper-quiet and can vary subject to the surface it’s resting on, the surrounding environment, and the settings. I’d place it on the low to moderate scale compared to similar products I’ve previously used.
What warranties are available?
Like all Lovense sex toys, the Tenera comes with a one-year limited warranty from the purchase date. If you discover a defect, the company covers any issues with the materials or craftsmanship and will repair or replace the device at its discretion. Remember to keep your purchase receipt; you’ll need it to make any claims.
Did Lovense Tenera ship discretely?
Lovense attaches great importance to the privacy of its customers and ensures that its products are delivered discreetly by using plain brown boxes without any indication of the product’s contents.
