🪙Two Side of the Small Male Masturbator Coin
I’ve tested both of these toys using external tools and got feedback from a few male testers, and I get why people might group them together. They’re both from Lovense, app-connected, and fall under the broader male maturbator category. But in terms of how they actually work, they’re pretty different.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Max 2 is a vibrating and contracting masturbator for men – using an air pressure and internal inflation to create a squeezing sensation. You do the thrusting yourself while the toy tightens and vibrates around it.
- Solace Pro doesn’t need you to move at all. It thrusts on its own with a built-in motor that moves the sleeve back and forth.
So yeah—they’re in the same general category, but the mechanics are different.
Max 2 Overview
👉 Quick recap: Max 2 uses 360-degree air pump contractions as well as vibrations in whatever combinations you prefer.
Key Features
- Contractions & Vibration Settings: Max 2 has 3 contraction levels, 3 steady vibration strengths, and 4 patterns. You can also pick from the free public pattern library.
- It’s also programmable, so if the low/med/high settings aren’t your cup of tea, you can adjust them and the toy will remember. There are also 10 open pattern slots if you want to customize further.
- Removable Sleeve: It comes with a flexible and stretchy TPE “Neutral hole” sleeve that has bump textures on the inside.
- If you want the vaginal sleeve, it costs extra.
- Power & Charging: 100 minutes of charge will give you a maximum of 90 minutes of play (depending on how high/fast you run it). There’s also 120 hours of standby before needing a top-up (recommended – a full charge every 6 months of non-use). Magnetic charging cable included.
- Toy sync: It can control the movement of other Lovense toys.
- Cleaning & Care: Mild soap and warm water for the sleeve. Follow the manual’s instructions carefully, and it’s all good. It’s also worth noting that you should be careful of any nooks and crannies and pay extra attention while washing those parts.
- Manual Suction Control: The air vent on the bottom helps you control how much suction “builds up” inside. The difference is subtle, but noticeable once you’re in the middle of a session.
Solace Pro Overview
👉 Quick recap: Solace Pro is an auto-thruster with AI tech and a desk mouth for hands-free play.
Solace Pro is designed for people who want movement handled for them. It doesn’t use air or suction like Max 2—instead, a motor inside drives the sleeve forward and back at adjustable speeds and depths. The overall build is a bit heavier and meant for mounted use, especially for longer sessions where holding it by hand isn’t ideal. While it’s not the quietest toy, the motion is consistent and fully controlled by the user, with plenty of room to fine-tune how it feels.
Key Features
- Precision Thrusting: Motor delivers up to 300 strokes per minute, with stroke depth adjustable up to 0.65 mm increments. Speed and depth are controlled separately.
- Mount System: Includes a 180° adjustable desk mount to support hands-free use. Locks firmly into position for different angles or setups.
- Sleeve & Fit: Comes with a neutral TPE sleeve, ridged for texture. Vulva-style alternative sold separately. Insertable length is ~7.08 in; max girth around 6.1 in.
- AI Sync: Instead of just vibrating or thrusting on a set pattern, it can actually adjust in real time to match the rhythm of compatible videos or synced content.
- Battery & Sound: 135-minute charge time, up to 14 hours of use. Max sound level is ~63 dB—low enough for privacy, but not silent.
“Really adjustable, and the small changes to stroke depth actually feel different. Took a few tries to find my setting, but once I did, it was super smooth.”

Lovense Packaging & Shipping
Both male masturbators come in the Lovense branded packaging. The outer shipping box is plain brown cardboard, so no one will know what’s arriving at your door. The same goes for the shipping label for your credit card statement. It will show up as the company’s name rather than the brand’s name.
Even if you are allowed and proud about your sex toys, discretion is nice if you want to buy one as a surprise gift, as long as the other person isn’t nosy in and around your packages.

At the end of the day, neither toy is objectively better — it really comes down to what kind of experience you’re after.
