In this Lovense Calor review, we’ll go over the features of this heated male masturbator, how it compares to Lovense Max 2, and my experience with it.
Ever since Lovense gave us the Max 2 in 2019, I’ve been eagerly awaiting what new male sex toy they have in store for us. And lo and behold, Lovense gave us Calor!
After using it for 3 months now, I can say it’s among the best and most unique male masturbators I have ever used. It’s incredible how well-designed and advanced this sex toy is, considering how simple it appears at first glance.
In this review, I’ll cover everything you need to know about this product, including its depth sensing and internal heating features and more, plus my experience with it.
The Good
Lovense Calor is a unique masturbator that gives you the freedom to customize the toy’s temperature to your liking. Its depth-control feature allows you to control the vibration intensity depending on how deep you insert your penis. Lastly, this pocket pussy also features a hollow design with a squeezable grip that can fit various penis sizes.
The Not So Good
While the vibrating motor feels fantastic, it makes some noise when switched on. You might need to adjust the vibration settings if you want to use it discreetly. Also, this masturbation toy isn’t completely hands-free.
The Bottom Line
Lovense Calor is definitely worth getting if you’re looking for a masturbator capable of delivering powerful sensations and unique features for both solo and interactive play. However, this might not be for you if you’re after the usual pocket pussy without all the bells and whistles.
Lovense Calor is for you if:
- You like having your penis stimulated by warm and rumbly vibrations
- You enjoy synced long-distance play and other interactive features
- You want to play around with the tightness of your pocket pussy
- You’re looking for a waterproof masturbator that’s easy to clean
Lovense Calor is not for you if:
- You’re easily irritated by heat and sweat
- You don’t want to be overwhelmed by different sensations
- You’re looking for a discreet toy because you live with roommates
- You’re looking for an interactive hands-free masturbator
Unpacking Lovense Calor
As with my other Lovense toys, there are no gimmicks here—the box looks modern and simple. The white cardboard with inner foam protects and keeps the product from moving around during shipping.
As I opened the box, my eyes were immediately drawn to the Lovense Calor itself, which is slightly smaller in length than the new iPhone. The pocket pussy comes with a black satin bag where you can store it when not in use.
Under the toy, you’ll find a smaller box containing a USB charging cable. The package also includes a quick setup guide and user manual with basic instructions for using the device. I followed the instructions and was ready to go within minutes.
These are all the items included in the package:
- 1 Lovense Calor
- 1 Magnetic USB Charging Cable
- 1 User Manual
- 1 Quick Setup Guide
- 1 Storage Bag
Lovense Calor’s Tech Specs
Lovense Calor Design: How It Looks and Feels
I would say that the design of this toy is pretty sleek. Since it’s shaped like a flashlight (nope, not a Fleshlight), I expected something bulky and clunky, but instead, I got something that fits perfectly in my palm.
The exterior of the pocket pussy looks quite minimalistic and simple yet stylish with its black matte finish. It is made out of ABS plastic, one of the safest and most reliable materials for sex toys.
The toy’s exterior has grips on either side in a smooth, matte finish, making it easy for the user to squeeze and hold onto the toy even with lube on their hands.
Unlike most male masturbators, the Lovense Calor features a hollow or open-ended design that allows you to stroke your penis without any obstruction.
I was quite impressed by the quality of the inner sleeve. Its texture is smooth and soft and doesn’t feel uncomfortable when stroking.
It’s worth noting that Calor is made from 100% medical-grade silicone vs. Max 2’s TPE.
That means it’s body-safe, non-porous, and hypoallergenic. Plus, you know that it’ll last longer than TPE sleeves if you take good care of it.
Key Functionalities of Lovense Calor
Squeezable Grip
This feature allows you to play around with the tightness of the toy while you are gripping it. You can manually choose how tight you want the toy to be based on your preference.
The grip can be squeezed tightly for extra stimulation or loosened to provide a looser fit.
Experiment with different squeezes to find what works best for you. You’ll feel the difference in every stroke. The squeezable material also means the sleeve will fit most penis sizes.
Depth-Control
This function is one of my favorite parts of using Lovense Calor.
Lovense Calor has 3 built-in sensors that detect where you touch the toy and adjust the vibrations accordingly.
Once you’ve inserted your penis inside Calor, it does the work for you.
It automatically adjusts the intensity of vibrations based on how deep you penetrate. The deeper you insert your penis, the faster and more intense the vibrations are.
Heating Feature
What sets Calor apart from other Lovense male masturbators and most pocket pussies in the market is its heating functionality.
It’s designed with a heating component that warms your pocket pussy within five to twenty minutes, depending on surrounding temperature conditions.
You can start playing with the toy once it reaches your desired temperature, which ranges between 38 °C and 42 °C.
This optional feature can be turned on or off by tapping a button on its handle.
Multiple Vibration Levels and Patterns
This function controls the strength of Calor’s vibrating motor. You can cycle through its built-in vibration levels and patterns by simply pressing a button on the handle.
If you’re looking for an intense orgasm, you might want to go with a stronger vibration setting. But if you prefer a gentler sensation, a lower vibration setting should work fine.
3 steady levels
- Low
- Medium
- High
4 vibration patterns
- Pulse
- Wave
- Fireworks
- Earthquake
Close-Range and Long-Distance Play via Lovense Remote app
You can easily control the toy remotely via Lovense’s smartphone app. Connecting with Calor is easy as pie. All you need is a compatible smartphone that has Bluetooth capabilities.
You can take advantage of the Lovense remote app during long-distance sex sessions and sync your toys to share the same experience together.
Additionally, the app allows you to pair your phone with the toy and customize vibration speed and patterns depending on your mood.
Here are some of the things you can explore using this app:
- Connect and sync the movements with other toys: Max/Max 2, Nora, and another Calor
- Sync vibration patterns
- Music sync
- Sound-activated vibrations
Compatible with Interactive Sex Gaming
Lovense Calor provides a unique and intimate experience for individuals or couples who share an adventurous kink for virtual roleplaying.
It is compatible with several interactive sex gaming apps such as 3DX Chat, Wild Life, and Breeders of the Nephelym. These sex games allow you to interact with other Lovense product users in real-time.
Talk dirty to your partner, make them do certain tasks, or even enjoy long-distance sexual play while exploring new virtual adventures.
IPX7 Waterproof
Lovense Calor is IPX7 waterproof, which means it can withstand submersion in water up to 1 meter (3 feet) deep for 30 minutes.
This feature makes Calor perfect for hot tub or shower play. It also makes the toy easy to clean since you don’t have to worry about getting it wet. However, I don’t recommend submerging it into the water for extended periods.
Using Lovense Calor with Lubricants
When using Calor, always make sure to use water-based lubricant. Not only is it safer to use, but it can also help reduce friction and prolong the lifespan of your toy.
Other types of lubricants, like silicone-based ones, can damage the toy’s material. Water-based lubricants are easier to wash out as well.
Something to note:
If you plan to use the toy’s heating function, I recommend adding lubricant before plugging it into the charger so you can go right in on the action.
Magnetic Charging and Battery Life
Lovense Calor features a magnetic charging port, allowing you to charge the battery quickly. You simply need to attach the USB cable to the charging port, insert the other end of the cable into a standard wall outlet, and voilà! Your toy will be fully charged in no time.
I recommend charging Calor for at least one and a half hours to ensure you get the maximum usage time.
Calor is equipped with a powerful rechargeable Li-Ion battery that offers up to 2 hours of playtime and can last up to 120 hours on standby.
Noise Level
Lovense Calor produces a very low noise level under normal circumstances. However, if you’re using the toy at higher vibration levels, it might start to produce a louder buzzing sound.
Pro Tip:
If you plan to use Calor in shared spaces such as dorms or apartments, I highly recommend setting the toy on the lower vibration settings.
How to Use Lovense Calor
Getting started with Calor is super simple. You only need to press two buttons located on its side to switch Calor on and activate or deactivate its features.
- Hold Button A for 3 seconds to switch on/off and use the default depth-controlled feature
- Tap Button A once to cycle up through vibration presets
- Hold Button B for 3 seconds to Switch to Button Control Mode
- Tap Button B once to cycle through vibration presets
To activate Calor’s heating feature, attach the charging cable and hold Button A for 3 seconds. The toy is typically heated up in 5 to 20 minutes. The orange light on Button B is automatically turned off once the device is ready for use.
My Experience With Lovense Calor
My experience with Calor was very positive overall. In my opinion, its unique depth-sensing and heating features make it stand out among the other male masturbators currently available on the market.
One thing I really appreciate about Calor is that I can adjust its vibration intensity by penetrating it. The vibrations are smooth and gentle at first, but then they become more intense the deeper I go.
Like other Lovense toys, Calor offers different built-in vibration levels and patterns you can program.
When I’m feeling adventurous, I typically switch the depth-sensing feature off and start experimenting and combining vibration patterns and levels through the Lovense app. I usually start with a gentle vibration pattern and level, then switch to a quicker one, and finish with a strong one.
Calor’s heating feature is another compelling feature that makes it the perfect option during colder days.
The only downside is that it heats up quite slowly when the temperature of the environment is low. During winter, I would typically need to plug it in 20 minutes before using it to get hot enough to turn me on. Hence, if you like to keep things spontaneous, this might not be your best choice.
Another great thing about Calor is its squeezable grip, which helps me enjoy prolonged use.
It’s convenient because all I have to do is squeeze the toy harder to intensify my stimulation. However, Calor won’t be your best bet if you’re looking for a toy that you don’t need to hold and does everything for you.
That said, Calor is definitely worth checking out. I can guarantee you’ll be blown away by its functionality, ease of use, and design.
How to Clean It
Cleaning Calor is pretty straightforward.
First, wash the toy with warm water and mild soap. Next, let the toy air dry before returning it to its storage pouch.
This prevents any dust or dirt from getting inside the toy and keeps it away from other objects that could potentially scratch or damage it.
Please note that you shouldn’t leave Calor exposed to extreme heat or cold temperatures. Keep it in a cool, dark place to extend its life.

Nice strong vibrator motor and the heating is a good change.
Alternatives
Lovense Calor vs. Max 2
Calor has a similar toy called Max 2. Max 2 doesn’t have heating and depth control functions. Instead, it uses vacuum and air pressure to create a deep, sucking sensation. One important thing to note is that Calor is about half the size of Max 2, making it easier to carry around.
Personally, I think Calor is the best option for those who want something small and discreet while still being able to provide a good amount of stimulation.
Pressure Control
The two toys have very different approaches to pressure control. The Max 2 uses an interesting and innovative airbag system to create internal pressure and tightness. You control this with the toy’s buttons or app. While this is a cool system, it can get a little annoying to use the buttons.
The Calor, on the other hand, has none of this fancy gadgetry. Instead, you just use your hand to squeeze as you would while jerking off. It’s not hi-tech but it is much more intuitive. That said, if you have mobility issues, the Max 2 might be better for you.
Vibration Power
Neither of these toys boasts super strong vibrations, but the Calor may be slightly more powerful and encompassing. The point isn’t really to leave your dick inside it, it’s to thrust, but if you want a slow buildup, the Calor’s vibrations are powerful enough to use for edging, and may even make you come if you’re really in the mood.
Stroking Sensation
The Calor, unlike the Max 2, is made from silicone, which makes for a smooth sensation right off the bat. Plus, it means you’ll never have to replace the sleeve like you would with the Max 2’ TPE sleeve. However, that also means there’s no texture for added stimulation. Still, this toy is meant to be used with the power function, so the Calor still wins out since it’s going to last much longer.
Lovense Calor vs. Gush
Calor and Gush are similar in terms of comfort, material, and app-control features. The biggest difference will be how much control and sensations you’re getting because of their sizes.
The smaller Gush can be fully hands-free, thanks to its band – you can even use it for public play. But using it as a stroker means stimulating only small portions of your penis at a time.
On the other hand, Calor can fit most penis sizes, giving you more control and sensations. And don’t forget the depth-control and heating features.
FAQs
What Is Lovense Calor?
The Lovense Calor is an app-controlled masturbation toy for people with penises. It brings pleasurable sensations through vibration as well as warming technology that’s designed to mimic the warmth of penetration.
You can use the toy’s buttons or the powerful Lovense app to control the toy, and with its long-distance feature you can even hand over controls to a partner.
What Are The Orgasms Like With Lovense Calor?
Because the Calor’s vibrations aren’t super intense, it’s great for slow build ups. It won’t force an orgasm out of you – instead, it’ll give you a nice heightened baseline of pleasure over which to layer other sensations.
You’ll control the tightness manually, with your hand squeezing the sleeve, so you don’t have to think too much – you can let it happen naturally which I find leads to a more organic experience.
Leading up slowly with the Calor makes for longer-lasting and more satisfying orgasms and it’s also great for edging if you have the self-discipline.
If you get really close, it’s best to pull out of the toy entirely, since the vibrations can be enough to push you over the edge if you’re really close. This is nice, actually, since you get to experience the feeling of penetration several times over the course of a session.
Can Lovense Calor Be Used Without An Erection?
In theory, yes, but you’ll need enough length when flaccid that your penis will get some stimulation from the vibrations and squeezing that tend to be focused more in the center of the toy.
If you experience ED, you may be better off with a vibrator that you can use over the length of your penis.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I think the Lovense Calor is a solid male masturbator that would be good for both beginners and advanced users.
While it’s not the most powerful toy out there, it’s definitely worth considering when you look at its awesome new features (on top of Lovense’s tried-and-tested interactive features), easy-to-use interface, and overall comfort. Not a lot of toys can give you ALL that!
