Lovehoney Desire Review

Lovehoney Desire is Lovehoney’s own-brand rabbit vibrator, sold on the brand’s storefronts as the Desire Luxury Rechargeable Rabbit Vibrator (product code 59243). It is the most conventional rabbit in the catalogue: a firm, curved silicone shaft for internal stimulation and a short external arm with the classic “ears” for the clitoris, both driven from one three-button control panel at the base. It sits alongside the We-Vibe Nova 2, the two LELO WaveMotion rabbits and the Fun Factory Miss Bi as the catalogue’s fifth rabbit, and it is the one with no mechanical twist: no flexing arm, no moving tip, just vibration in a familiar shape.

Venus has not physically tested this product. This review is based on Lovehoney’s own Desire product page and its published specification block, with the price and stock taken from the brand’s EU storefront, checked on 13 October 2026. Lovehoney is both the brand owner and the retailer here, so its product page is treated as the manufacturer page. Where Lovehoney does not document something clearly, this page says so rather than filling the gap.

Quick Verdict #

The Desire is a sensible shortlist pick for someone who wants a classic rabbit and already knows the format fits them. Lovehoney’s documentation has improved since this review was first written: the page now states a silicone body that is latex- and phthalate-free, submersible waterproofing, 8 vibration patterns each adjustable across 12 speeds, a 254 mm length with 127 mm insertable and a 114 mm circumference, a firm shaft, and a storage case with an opening for the charging cable. What it still does not state is any runtime or charge time, the product weight, a noise figure beyond an “Extra Quiet” tag, or a warranty term. At 99.95 EUR on the EU store it is mid-tier money rather than the value buy it was at its August 2026 promotional price, and the 53.95 EUR Miss Bi now undercuts it with a fuller spec sheet. The rating stays at 3.0.

Format and Who It Is For #

This is a rabbit in the original sense: an insertable shaft curved toward the front wall, and a fixed external arm that vibrates against the clitoris at the same time. Lovehoney describes the shaft as firm, which is worth noting because firmness decides how much the curve actually presses rather than yields; a firm shaft gives more direct G-spot pressure but less forgiveness if the angle is wrong. The external arm is the traditional ears shape and it does not flex independently, so whether it lands where it should depends on the distance between the two contact points matching the user’s anatomy, which is the standing caveat for every rabbit in the catalogue.

The control range is the Desire’s strongest documented feature: 8 patterns of waves and pulses, each with 12 speed steps, which is a wider published matrix than any other rabbit here. The format suits someone who wants simultaneous internal and external stimulation from a single, conventional device and who values a wide speed range over app control or a moving mechanism. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs a flexible arm to stay in contact as they move, who wants a compact or travel device, or who wants documented runtime before buying.

Documented Specifications #

Lovehoney’s specification block lists the material as silicone and states the product is latex-free and phthalate-free. The published size is a 10 inch overall length, a 5 inch insertable length and a 4.5 inch circumference, which convert to 254 mm, 127 mm and 114 mm respectively, or roughly 36 mm across the shaft. Width, height and product weight are not published, so the dimensions field in this review stays empty rather than carrying a single axis. Flexibility is stated as firm.

Waterproofing is listed as “Submersible”, and the key features repeat that the device is fully waterproof and shower-safe. The vibration is described as 8 modes, each with 12 speeds, and the feature tags add “Extra Powerful”, “Extra Quiet” and “Rechargeable”. No decibel figure, motor count, battery capacity, frequency or runtime appears on the page, and no app, remote or Bluetooth function is mentioned, so all of those are recorded as not documented.

Materials, Waterproofing and Cleaning #

Silicone is non-porous and appropriate for intimate use when cleaned properly, and Lovehoney’s latex-free and phthalate-free statement covers the two allergen and plasticiser concerns buyers most often ask about. The submersible rating makes cleaning straightforward: rinse under running water with mild soap or a toy cleaner, pay attention to the seam where the external arm meets the shaft, where lubricant collects, and dry fully before it goes back into the case. Water-based lubricant is the conservative choice with any silicone toy, and the page does not give lubricant guidance of its own.

Battery and Warranty #

The Desire is USB-rechargeable and ships with a storage case that has a small opening in the back for the charging cable, so it can charge inside the closed case. That is the extent of the battery documentation: Lovehoney publishes no runtime, no charge time and no battery capacity, which is the biggest gap on an otherwise improved page. No warranty term is stated on the product page either; Lovehoney’s general guarantee terms are a storefront policy rather than a product specification, so buyers should confirm the current terms at checkout rather than rely on this review.

In the Catalogue #

Desire vs. the Fun Factory Miss Bi #

The Fun Factory Miss Bi is the catalogue’s cheapest rabbit at 53.95 EUR and publishes more than the Desire does: a measured 173 x 76 x 38 mm body, 230 g, an IPX7 rating, USB-C charging and 12 programmes. The Desire counters with a longer shaft, a 12-step speed range inside each of its 8 patterns, and a storage case, but it costs almost twice as much and leaves runtime, charge time, weight and warranty unstated, where Miss Bi at least publishes size and weight. On documentation per euro, Miss Bi wins.

Desire vs. the We-Vibe Nova 2 #

The We-Vibe Nova 2 is the catalogue’s app-controlled rabbit at 149 EUR, with a flexible external arm built to keep clitoral contact as the body moves, a documented 90-minute runtime from a 2-hour charge, IPX7 waterproofing and a 2-year warranty. The Desire is 49 EUR cheaper and offers a wider published speed matrix, but it has a fixed arm, no app and no runtime or warranty figures. The Nova 2 is the better-documented device and the one to choose if the arm staying in contact matters; the Desire is the simpler, cheaper classic.

Desire vs. the LELO WaveMotion rabbits #

The LELO Soraya Wave and LELO Ina Wave 2 are the premium rabbits at 259 and 199 EUR list, with a shaft tip that physically rises and falls rather than only vibrating, full specification blocks, 2-hour runtimes and LELO’s two-tier warranty. They cost two to two-and-a-half times what the Desire does and are the picks for anyone who wants a moving internal mechanism and complete documentation. All five rabbits are compared side by side on the best rabbit vibrators page, and the internal devices across brands on the best G-spot & internal vibrators page.

Value Position #

Lovehoney’s EU storefront lists the Desire at 99.95 EUR with no struck-through figure, and the US storefront at 109.99 USD; the 69.99 USD recorded in August 2026 was a promotion against that same list price, so this review now records the list price and treats sale prices as temporary. At 99.95 EUR the Desire sits in the catalogue’s middle tier, above the Miss Bi and below the Nova 2, and it is no longer a budget pick. The case for it is a classic firm rabbit with the widest published speed-and-pattern matrix among the rabbits and a stated body-safe silicone body; the case against it is that the two cheaper and dearer alternatives both publish the runtime and warranty figures Lovehoney leaves out.
