The Lovense Nora is one of the most popular toys online. It’s mostly famous for its Internet connectivity features. You can have your long-distance partner control the Nora for you using a smartphone app. Isn’t that exciting?
If your partner has the compatible Max 2 masturbator, the two toys will sync with each other, so you can have long-distance sex.
Does this toy truly offer an arousing experience? Is it a good tool to keep intimacy alive in a long-distance relationship? Find out in my review!
My Personal Experience With The Lovense Nora
I really liked the packaging my Nora came in. It was an elegant white box with a full-size image of the sex toy on it and simple images that explain its feature. A small white box contains the USB charger. Whoa, this is a great idea!
I immediately grabbed a pen and wrote “Lovense Nora” on the charger’s box. I hope I remember to store the charger in its own box so it won’t get lost and I won’t confuse it with the chargers of my other toys!
When I first took the Nora out of its box, it looked so big! But I realized it’s not actually that big once I inserted it for the first time. This rabbit has a rotating head, which has been designed to hit the G-spot.
For me, the Nora’s rotating head is definitely a game-changer. If it wasn’t app-connected and all that stuff, I’d still purchase it just for the rotating shaft! I really liked this kind of stimulation.
The Different Vibrating Speeds and Patterns
Typically, I don’t like playing around with vibrating patterns, but once I do, I realize they really make a difference. I tried changing the Nora’s vibrating speed and pattern for the sake of the review and I was surprised!
Okay, let’s explain all the speeds and patterns available in more detail. The main shaft has three settings:
- Slow;
- Medium;
- Fast.
I’m a fan of intense internal stimulation, so switching from the “Slow” to the “Fast” mode really made a difference for me. For women who like less intense stimulation, the “Slow” and “Medium” settings will be fine.
The external clitoral head has three speeds and four vibrating patterns. The speed settings are:
- Low;
- Medium;
- High.
The four vibrating patterns are:
- Pulse;
- Wave;
- Fireworks;
- Earthquake.
It’s fairly difficult to explain what vibrating patterns feel like, but I’ll do my best 🙂 I really loved the Pulse pattern, which is a rhythmic pattern of “taps” on your clitoris. It definitely brought me to the edge of an orgasm!
The Wave is a similar pattern but the “taps” on your clits last longer. The Fireworks and Earthquake patterns feel like a crescendo. They start with a very gentle vibration and gradually move to more intense stimulation.
Personally, I find the Earthquake pattern more intense.
The Materials
The Nora rabbit vibrator comes in body-safe materials: ABS plastic and silicone. Basically, the white handle is made from sturdy ABS plastic, while the pink shaft comes in super soft silicone.
These are my favorite sex toy materials because they’re non-porous, so they can’t harbor bacteria. I definitely feel safer when I use vibrators made from these materials. All I need to do to ensure proper hygiene is to wash them with mild soap and warm water. No need to use condoms.
Also, I really liked how the Nora feels to the touch. It’s so soft and velvety! Also Lovense have an amazing Lush 3 egg vibrator and G-spot stimulator if rabbit vibrators are not your thing. You can also check out our review of the older Lush 2 model as well.
Using the App
I thought that connecting the toy to the app would be burdensome but it’s actually very easy. The first connection requires a little extra effort on your part, but after doing this, a whole new world of playing possibilities opens up!
First things first: the sex toy connects to your phone through Bluetooth 4.0. Remember to turn Bluetooth on before attempting to connect the Nora.
Now, it’s time to download the Lovense Remote app on your mobile device! The app works with most smartphones. I know it’s available for iOS, Android, and Mac or Windows computers.
Playing from a computer in the intimacy of your own bedroom is probably a bit complicated. However, I’m glad that this feature exists for people who don’t have access to a smartphone. I think it’s also great for cam models, who usually stream from computers, not from mobile phones.
Using the app is simple. The most complicated part was convincing my partner to download it (if you want to give someone real-time control of your toy, they need to have the app installed on their phone.).
The icon is extremely discreet: it’s blue with just a white circle. Nobody would guess what it is just by looking at your phone, so don’t use that as an excuse as my partner did ;).
You’ll be asked to create an account, just use an anonymous nickname and you’ll be fine. If you’re playing on your own, just connect the toy over Bluetooth and you’ll be fine.
If you want to give long-distance control to someone, your partner will have to create an account as well. For me and my loved one, the process was pretty straightforward. Once you both have accounts, you can even video chat right from the app! This is a feature I really like.
There is a group chat feature available as well if you feel like playing with more than one partner. I didn’t try this feature (yet!) but I’m sure it’s exciting.
I liked the experience of creating my own vibration patterns right from the app. There is also music control available if that’s your thing.
In comparison with other app-controlled vibrators I own, I found that the connection is pretty stable. You won’t lose connection every few seconds while enjoying long-distance sex.
Lovense Nora and Max 2: Connecting Nora With Max 2
I was too excited about the ability to have long-distance sex with my loved one, so I bought a Lovense Max 2 for him, so he can connect the Max 2 to my Nora.
I had read online that Nora and Max not only vibrate in sync with each other. Each one of the toys picks up your movements during masturbation through special sensors. Then, the toy of your partner emulates your movements for a realistic cyber sex experience. So, I was beyond excited.
Basically, the Lovense Nora picks up the contractions of your vagina during masturbation and makes Max do the same contractions around the penis of your partner.
On the other hand, Max picks up the movements of your partner inside the masturbation sleeve. Then, it makes Nora replicate the actual movements of the penis of your partner.
That’s probably why my first long-distance sex experience was extremely realistic. Feeling Nora’s rotating shaft inside me was just like feeling my partner’s thrusts. I will play this way again for sure!
Syncing the two toys was actually easy. Each partner connects their toy to their phone via Bluetooth. Then you create a chat room in the Lovense app and add your partner.
Lastly, you send your partner a “sync request”, and you’re done!
Nora Lovense Final Thoughts
In summary, I think that the Lovense Nora deserves its spot as one of the most popular long distance sex toys on the market. I’d buy it even if it had no Internet connection and all that fancy stuff because it stimulates effectively my pleasure spots. If you want anal stimulation I’d recommend looking at the Lovense Hush 2 anal sex toy.
Still, I enjoy the connectivity features and find them fairly easy to use. The feature I liked the most was connecting the Nora to Max. It gave me an authentic feeling of “virtual sex”. I’m convinced that many people in long-distance relationships will love it! If you’re looking for a sex gift for long distance relationships, the Nora is a great option.
Here’s a quick recap of the things I liked and disliked about it:

How to Use the Lovense Nora
Still have questions about the Lovense Nora? Here is a FAQ section where I’ll explain everything about this popular silicone toy.
How do you insert Nora?
Keep the white handle in your hand. The external clitoral stimulator should be directed towards your belly. Apply plenty of lube and insert the main shaft gently into your vagina.
How do you know when Nora is charged?
When Nora is connected to its USB charger, a solid red light will turn on. Once the sex toy is charged, the red light will turn off.
Is the Nora loud?
No, I didn’t find it loud at all, even when using the strongest vibration settings. Don’t worry, neighbors won’t discover your dirty little secret!
Lovense Nora Anal – Can I use the Nora as an Anal sex toy?
No, I do not recommend using the Nora as an anal toy. Instead, you should try the Lovense Hush 2 which is designed for anal sex.
How to Use Nora With Compatible Porn and Cam Sites
Yes, the Lovense Nora can sync its vibrations to the movements of your favorite cam model and porn actresses! If the cam model you’re watching has a Lovense toy, you’ll be able to feel the same vibrations she’s feeling.
Just download the VibeMate app, which is sort of a special browser where you can access cam sites. VibeMate is currently compatible with Chaturbate, Cam4, Stripchat, and BongaCams, but Lovense will add other sites soon.
What do Cam Models Say About the Nora
Lovense toys are extremely popular among cam models because they offer them features to earn more, engage their audience, and offer paid remote sex sessions to their fans.
I reached out to a friend of mine who does part-time cam modeling to see whether she recommends the Nora or not. Let’s call my friend Amy (of course, this is a fictional name to protect her privacy.).
“I have several Lovense toys, including the Nora, and I love them because they react to tips. Every time a fan tips me, the Nora starts vibrating and rotating on my pleasure spots. Of course, this is a big incentive for guys to tip me more,” says Amy.
“Lovense offers a lot of tools for cam models, including software and educational material. I’m definitely happy with my Nora. The Lovense software for cam modeling also has a wishlist feature. So I can have fans purchase toys for me.”
