Lovense Glint Review: I Tested It Alone and With My Wife for Two Weeks
The Lovense Glint arrives in a small, discreet box with its touch-responsive technology highlighted on the front.
Lovense has launched a new sex toy, and this time it's a tiny, rather cute vibrating butt plug called the Glint.
If you've been reading Dapper & Groomed for a while, you'll know that I'm very open-minded when it comes to sex toys. I've always believed that they can be a great addition to a healthy sex life, whether you're single or in a relationship.
I'm also French, and let's just say that we tend to be fairly open about these things in France!
But back to the Glint.
Who is it actually for? Is it comfortable? Is it easy to use? Can it really make a difference to your sex life? And is it something you should enjoy on your own, or is it better with your wife or girlfriend?
Well, Lovense sent me the Glint around two weeks ago, and I've been using it regularly ever since, both on my own and with my wife.
And I have to say, this tiny little toy has become one of my favourites recently.
Let me explain why.
Disclosure: Lovense kindly provided the Glint for review purposes. However, all the opinions and experiences shared in this article are entirely my own. Lovense has not reviewed or approved this article before publication. This post contains affiliate links.
Quick Verdict: Lovense Glint – 9/10
I really like the Lovense Glint.
If you're a guy who's curious about prostate stimulation but feels a little intimidated by larger prostate massagers, I think this is a very good place to start.
It's small, comfortable, well-made and surprisingly powerful for its size.
During my solo testing, it didn't produce a prostate orgasm on its own, but the additional stimulation made my usual orgasms noticeably more intense. And that's something I genuinely appreciated.
But what surprised me most was how much my wife and I enjoyed using it together.
The Glint can add a different sensation during penetrative sex, making it an interesting option for couples who are curious about experimenting with anal stimulation.
Now, Lovense makes quite a big deal about the touch-responsive vibration technology. Personally, I didn't notice a huge difference with that feature, although we mainly used the Glint at maximum vibration intensity.
And do you know what? It didn't really matter to us. We enjoyed it anyway.
The Lovense app offers plenty of additional features, but I preferred keeping things simple.
My rating: 9/10. A very enjoyable, easy-to-use toy that I would particularly recommend to beginners and couples looking to try something different.
The only real consideration is its size. If you're already experienced with larger butt plugs or dedicated prostate massagers, the Glint might feel a little too small for your preferences.
What I Liked
- Small, comfortable design, ideal for beginners
- Strong vibrations despite its compact size
- Enjoyable for both solo play and couples
- Excellent build quality and premium silicone
- Simple to use without the app
What Could Be Better
- Touch-responsive feature wasn't very noticeable during my testing
- May be too small for experienced users
- Silicone tends to attract dust and lint when dry
- Full retail price is relatively high
How I Tested the Lovense Glint
I decided to test the Glint in two different ways over a period of two weeks.
First, I used it during solo masturbation to see whether its vibrations could make a noticeable difference to my usual experience.
I experimented with different levels of intensity but found myself returning to the maximum setting most of the time.
Second, my wife and I tried it together during penetrative sex, with her wearing the Glint anally.
This was particularly interesting because I wanted to know whether such a small toy could make a difference for both partners.
We weren't particularly interested in spending time exploring every setting in the Lovense app. Our approach was much simpler: use the Glint, find a comfortable vibration level and see how we enjoyed it.
So this review is primarily about comfort, build quality and our experience using the toy, rather than a complete test of its connected features.
Unboxing, Design and First Impressions
Inside the box, the Glint is neatly presented in a protective foam insert.
The first thing you'll notice about the Lovense Glint is how small it is.
Even the retail box is compact and discreet.
Inside, you'll find the Glint itself, a magnetic USB charging cable and the accompanying instructions.
Nothing complicated, which I like.
The toy itself feels very well-made. The silicone exterior is smooth, the button is easy to operate and the base feels sturdy.
Lovense has used body-safe silicone, and the Glint measures just 0.84 inches (21.5 mm) across its widest insertable section.
That's genuinely small, particularly compared with some of the larger prostate massagers and butt plugs available.
And I actually think that's one of its biggest strengths.
For men who have never tried anal stimulation before, the idea of inserting something large can be intimidating. The Glint feels much more approachable.
The same applies to women who are curious about trying a butt plug for the first time.
Of course, small doesn't automatically mean comfortable for everyone, but the Glint's size certainly makes it less intimidating.
The flared base is another important part of the design, particularly for safe anal use.

One thing I strongly recommend purchasing alongside the Glint is a good-quality water-based lubricant.
Lovense sells its own lubricants, but you can use another suitable water-based product if you already have one.
Don't skip the lubricant. It makes a real difference to comfort, particularly if you're new to anal toys.
Using the Lovense Glint During Solo Play
The Glint is surprisingly small, which makes it an approachable option for people new to anal stimulation
This was the first way I tested the Glint, and it quickly became clear why I liked it.
I've always thought that prostate stimulation can be an interesting addition to solo masturbation, but I also understand why some men are hesitant to try it.
The Glint makes that first experience feel much more approachable.
Because of its small size, I found it relatively easy and comfortable to use with plenty of water-based lubricant.
If you're new to this type of toy, my advice is to take your time, start gently and never force anything. If something feels uncomfortable or painful, stop.
You don't need to rush.
During my testing, I generally preferred the maximum vibration setting. I also discovered that positioning makes quite a difference. Personally, I found the most enjoyable position was with the base pointing downwards, close to my balls. In that position, the vibrations felt noticeably stronger and more intense, which made the whole experience even better for me. It's a small detail, but definitely worth mentioning.
For such a compact toy, the vibrations are surprisingly noticeable. I could clearly feel the additional stimulation, and I found that the overall experience was more intense than masturbation without it.
What particularly impressed me was the effect on my orgasms.
Now, I want to make something clear. The Glint didn't give me a prostate orgasm on its own.
But when combined with my usual solo routine, the additional stimulation made my orgasms feel considerably stronger.
That's my personal experience, of course. Everyone responds differently, and I wouldn't suggest that the Glint will produce exactly the same results for every man.
Still, after using it regularly for two weeks, I can understand why a small vibrating butt plug might appeal to someone who wants to explore this kind of stimulation without investing in a much larger prostate massager.
For me, it worked very well.
And sometimes, that's all you really want from a sex toy: something comfortable, effective and simple to use.
Using the Lovense Glint With My Wife
This was probably the most interesting part of my testing.
My wife and I are comfortable discussing and trying different things together, and we wanted to see whether the Glint could add something to our usual sex life.
We decided to use it during penetrative sex, with my wife wearing the plug anally.
You could describe this as a form of dual stimulation, or a way of exploring some of the sensations associated with double penetration without using a much larger toy.
And we both enjoyed the experience.
From my perspective, the additional pressure and vibrations created a noticeably different sensation during intercourse.
For my wife, the Glint added extra stimulation and a feeling of fullness that made the experience different from our usual routine.
What I particularly liked was that the Glint was small enough not to feel unnecessarily complicated or intrusive.
We didn't need to interrupt things constantly to adjust settings or check an app.
We simply found the vibration intensity we preferred and carried on.
For us, that simplicity was a big part of its appeal.
I also think this is where the Glint makes a lot of sense as a couples' toy.
If you're curious about introducing anal stimulation into your sex life but don't want to begin with something large or intimidating, the Glint is certainly worth considering.
Of course, both partners need to feel comfortable with the idea, and there's no reason to try something that either person doesn't enjoy.
But based on our own experience, this was one of the most enjoyable ways to use it.
Touch Controls, Toy Sync and the Lovense Remote App
One of the biggest selling points of the Glint is its touch-responsive technology. Basically, the base reacts to physical contact, changing the vibrations depending on the mode you've selected.
There are three touch modes: Pulse, Sustain and Crescendo.
Now, during my testing, I have to admit that I didn't really notice a huge difference with the touch-responsive vibrations. But remember, my wife and I mainly used the Glint at maximum intensity, which might explain why the changes weren't particularly noticeable.
However, there's something else I really want to mention: the Lovense Remote app.
Connecting the Glint to the app is incredibly easy. Simply press and hold the power button for around three seconds, open Lovense Remote, and the app will recognise the toy once you add it.
From there, you can adjust the vibration intensity, experiment with different patterns and customise the touch sensitivity.
And to be honest, if you enjoy experimenting with different settings, there's plenty of fun to be had.
But here's where things get even more interesting.
Did you know that you can connect the Glint to another Lovense sex toy?
For example, you can pair it with the Lovense Edge 2 prostate massager.
Now, imagine this.
Your wife is enjoying the Glint, and you've decided to explore prostate stimulation yourself using the Edge 2.
With both toys connected through the Lovense Remote app and the appropriate touch-control settings enabled, touching the sensitive base of the Glint can also change the vibrations of the Edge 2.
So, when your wife wants more intensity, she can interact with the Glint's base, and your toy responds too.
How interesting is that?
It's a clever way of making two separate toys work together and adding another element of interaction to your sex life.
I haven't personally tested this particular combination during my two weeks with the Glint, but it's a feature Lovense offers, and I think it could be a lot of fun for couples who already own other Lovense products.
As for the Lovense Remote app itself, I think it's very well designed. Connecting the Glint was straightforward, and the controls are easy to understand.
Personally, I still enjoy the simplicity of switching on the Glint and using it without my phone. But I can also see why the app is such an important part of the Lovense experience.
You don't have to use it, but if you want to experiment a little more, it opens up plenty of possibilities.
Is the Lovense App Necessary?
No, and that's something I appreciate.
The Glint works with the Lovense Remote app, which opens up additional vibration patterns, remote control and other connected features.
If you're in a long-distance relationship or enjoy experimenting with app-controlled sex toys, those features could be particularly appealing.
But we didn't explore them extensively during these two weeks.
We preferred using the physical controls.
And personally, I like having that choice.
Not every intimate moment needs to involve a smartphone.
I would rather have a sex toy that feels good and is easy to operate than something that constantly requires me to adjust settings.
The app is a useful extra, but for the way we enjoyed the Glint, it wasn't essential.
Cleaning and Looking After the Glint
This might not be the most exciting part of the review, but it's important.
Always clean your sex toys properly after use, especially toys designed for anal stimulation.
Lovense recommends cleaning the Glint with warm water and soap, then drying it thoroughly before storing it.
The Glint is IPX7 waterproof, which makes cleaning easier.
And if you're sharing a toy between partners or using it for different types of stimulation, proper cleaning and hygiene are essential. Never transfer a toy directly from anal to vaginal use without appropriate cleaning or a fresh protective barrier.
A little care will help keep the experience safe and hygienic.
And, once again, don't forget to use plenty of suitable water-based lubricant.
Who Should Buy the Lovense Glint?
After two weeks of testing, I think the Glint makes the most sense for three types of people.
Men who are curious about prostate stimulation
If you've never experimented with this kind of stimulation before, the Glint is an approachable starting point.
Its compact size makes it less intimidating than many larger prostate massagers, while the vibrations provide an additional sensation to explore.
Couples who want to try something different
This was one of my favourite aspects of the Glint.
My wife and I both enjoyed using it during sex, and I think its relatively small size makes it an interesting option for couples who want to explore anal stimulation together.
People who prefer smaller, uncomplicated sex toys
Yes, there are plenty of vibration modes and app features available.
But you don't need to use all of them.
If, like me, you sometimes prefer something simple, the Glint works perfectly well without spending time on your smartphone.
A closer look at the Glint's magnetic charging contacts and smooth silicone finish. One thing I noticed is that the silicone tends to attract dust and lint once dry, so it's worth giving it a quick rinse before use.
Who Might Want Something Else?
If you already own larger butt plugs or powerful, dedicated prostate massagers, you might find the Glint a little too small.
Its stimulation is enjoyable, but it doesn't provide the same feeling of fullness or focused pressure that some larger products offer.
Also, if your main reason for buying it is the touch-responsive technology, bear in mind that I didn't notice a particularly strong difference during my testing.
And at its full retail price, it's worth thinking carefully about which of the Glint's features you actually want. Check the current Lovense offer before purchasing, as promotional prices can change.
Final Verdict: Do I Recommend the Lovense Glint?
Yes, absolutely. With a few qualifications.
After two weeks of regular use, both on my own and with my wife, the Lovense Glint has become one of my favourite smaller sex toys.
And what surprised me most is that I didn't need to use all its clever technology to enjoy it.
The small size, comfortable design and strong vibrations were enough to make a real difference to my experience.
During solo play, I found that it added extra stimulation and made my orgasms noticeably more intense.
And when my wife and I used it together, we both enjoyed the additional sensations.
That's really what matters to me.
I don't need a sex toy to have fifty different modes or complicated features. I need it to be comfortable, reliable and enjoyable.
And the Glint delivers on those points.
Would I recommend it to someone who already owns several large prostate massagers? Probably not as their first choice.
But for men who are curious about exploring anal stimulation, or couples who want to introduce something a little different into their sex life, I think the Glint is an excellent option.
My final rating is 9/10.
It's small, well-made, easy to use and, most importantly, we've really enjoyed it.
You can check the latest price and any current offers on the official Lovense Glint website.
And please, don't forget the lubricant!
Enjoy!
