"Best night sleep I'd had in yonks": Mamamia reviews the Lelo SONA 2 Cruise sex toy.

On the hunt for a new sex toy? Unsure what to go for and whether or not you need a newly fandangled suction element? Well, BREATHE. Because the Mamamia sex toy reviews are here to help. We get real women to get real intimate with real sex toys and then tell us about them.

This week Shannen (she/her), a 23-year-old editorial assistant at Mamamia, reviews the SONA 2 Cruise clitoral vibrator, by Lelo. 

What does the sex toy claim to do?

The Lelo SONA 2 Cruise clitoral vibrator claims to stimulate every single part of the clitoris - even what the human eye can't see. According to the Lelo website, the SONA is unconventional because it uses "sonic waves and pulses to stimulate the entire clitoris" instead of vibrations. Not only that, but the massager comes with eight settings to either turn up the heat, or keep it nice and simple. It's also been made with a single piece of silicone, so the charging hole is completely protected, aka waterproof. Woohoo! 

So obviously, when I was given the option to try it out for myself, the answer was simple.... YES.

What was your first impression of the sex toy? (Just by looking at it.)

I loved how sleek the packaging was. It's discreet and along with the charger comes a little black silk bag to hold your goodies in - I'm assuming for when you're on the road. 

I was a big fan of how small it was, but I did have to argue the case with my (gay and male) friends that it was indeed the "perfect size" for most clits... Weird conversation to have, I'll admit.

How much is the sex toy? And do you think it’s worth it?

Coming in at $199, the SONA 2 Cruise is admittedly on the higher-priced end of sex toys, and while it may still seem like a steep price to pay just to achieve an orgasm - I can guarantee it does the job well.

What was it like using the sex toy? And how did it really feel?

The sonic vibrations were really surprising. I'm a major advocate for clit stimulator sex toys, but this one is different because it doesn't focus so much on suction as it does providing strong vibrations on the surface of the body. 

The SONA 2 Cruise has "cruise control" patented technology, meaning even when the massager is pressed hard against your body, the power doesn't drop. It's guaranteed continuous pleasure no matter what position you're in, and I think that's very beautiful. Not to worry either, it's completely automatic and not actually a setting so trust me when I say that SONA will always be there for you - rain, hail or high water. 

I'll also add that the orgasm was kinda.... transformative after the first use. I'd been holding off of giving it a try, until I was sure I was in the mood for a bit of me-time. And when I did, boy it did not disappoint. 

It's not like I have high expectations for toys, I just don't want to be left feeling annoyed afterwards because the orgasm didn't feel like it was worth the hassle. But the SONA 2 Cruise delivered in that department, as the orgasm was a slow build-up that kind of reached its climax at the perfect moment.

Afterwards, I felt like deep-cleaning my kitchen. Scrubbing my bathroom floor. Cooking a meal made entirely out of leafy greens and tofu. 

I went to sleep instead, but I promise you it was the best night's rest I'd had in yonks. All thanks to you, SONA.

Describe the sex toy in three words:

Intense, hassle-free and.... marvellous. 

What score would you give the sex toy out of 10?

9/10. It circles around the clit without being overwhelming or too powerful.

This sex toy is best for people who want…

Something hassle-free with a guaranteed climax. It's also perfect for people who prefer a bit of TLC for their clits from time to time (or all the time, I'm not judging...). 

Any final words?

Go get it!
