Review of the Luv-U-Lounge

Ok, it really shouldn’t be a secret that I adore my Luv-U-Lounge. I jabber about it enough in my “Masturbation Diaries” posts. CalExotics toys may not have the highest ranking on my list, but the Luv-U-Lounge is definitely one of my favorite sex toys now.

What you get:

• 1 inflatable PVC lounge with 6 velcro cuffs (53”x 30”)
• 1 inflatable pillow insert with thrusting mechanism (requires 8 C batteries, not included)
• 1 Futurotic® dong (requires 1 AA battery) (5.5”x 1.5”)
• 1 cap to the dong to use as a vibe separate from the lounge
• 1 wireless remote control (requires 1 12volt N battery, included)
• 1 remote controlled bullet vibe (requires 2 AA batteries, not included)
• 1 hand inflation pump with hose and nozzle adapters
• 1 really really pink storage bag
• 1 patch kit that says it’s for patching a sex doll O_o

I’ve used this much more on my own than as a couple’s toy. I just can’t get relaxed enough to have it feel good to have the Futurotic® dong ramming my back door while I’ve got my hubby in me. Every time I get the dong in, hubby’s penis twitches and then my muscles twitch and everything clenches. That makes it difficult to get the dong in, and he just doesn’t give me enough time to relax and get used to another dick being in me. And, every time I get him in, the dong pops out. I guess because I’m so little, I can only hold so much dick in me at once. Plus, he’s huge (6’5”) and it’s hard to fit us both on the Luv-U-Lounge at the right angle for me to get two dicks in. If the backrest was just a little further back, I think we’d be set.

It’s actually really funny to see him on the Luv-U-Lounge with the thrusting dong insert. It’s like he’s having a penis sword fight with the lounge! lmao It took pretty much everything I had not to laugh my butt off the first time I saw it. It looked a little something like this –> Getting two dicks in me and thrusting without error has proven insanely difficult. –_-; It’s really not as easy as you’d think. And does the lounge the guy is sitting on look different than the actual lounge, or is it just me? O_o It doesn’t look like the back rest goes up as far on the one he’s sitting on. And, somehow, it’s shinier. My Luv-U-Lounge has a matte finish like the pic below the couple…

Altogether, there are 6 velcro cuffs to strap your lover into the Luv-U-Lounge with. They’re very easy to use. I’ve strapped myself in before while I had the Luv-U-Lounge set up next to the mirrored closet doors. (I wanted to watch, ok?) You can also use these to keep your partner from escaping the double-penetration.

Or, if you feel like teasing the hell out of your lover, you could strap them into the Luv-U-Lounge and let the dong go at them for a while and/or click it on/off while in another room. Or you could just tease them yourself. Your choice.

The dong is controlled remotely and can be turned on/off from pretty much anywhere in our little apartment. Which means hubby can strap me in, leave the room, and tease me by turning the thrusting on/off until I get really frustrated, tip the whole lounge over, and get stuck like a little turtle that’s been flipped over. :p

It takes 1 AA battery if you’d like to turn it into a vibrator. I prefer not to. I don’t really need it to vibrate when it’s penetrating me. Plus, you can’t turn it off when it’s hooked up to the thrusting mechanism, so the battery wears down quickly. I suppose if I’d use it as a separate vibe with the little cap that was included, I’d want it to vibrate, though. The vibration level is moderate, about a 3/5.

There’s also a 3 speed remote bullet vibe. It’s nothing that special. Just your basic 3-speeder. Average speed and noise levels. As for using the Luv-U-Lounge on my own:

I’ve pretty much been every which way on the Luv-U-Lounge by now. I’ve lounged normally and let it fuck me vaginally. I’ve laid sort of doggy style with part of my torso hanging over the head rest while it fucks me from behind. I’ve used the pillow insert by itself to straddle for both anal and vaginal. I’ve used it inserted backwards on the lounge so I could splay out on the bed for anal and vaginal. I’ve used it with an extra vibe on my clit and and extra dildo in me. Etc…etc…

Alright, so the Luv-U-Lounge is my stud, ok? :p If hubby had to do me as much as this thing has, he’d never have the energy to go to work. Other uses:

Hubby uses it like one of those video game chairs for when he’s playing Mario Galaxy 2.

Assembly:

• Screw in the hose to the black and yellow paddle-style hand inflation device to the “inflate” hole and assemble the tip.
• Insert the tip into the lounge’s plug and start pumping. It’s going to take you a while. Trust me. Then you’ll need to repeat for the pillow insert and the cylinder on the pillow insert around the thrusting mechanism.
• Look for the flap on the pillow insert that says “OPEN”. Peel the velcro flap up and insert 8 C batteries into the compartment. Locate the “On/Off” switch and switch it “On”. Insert a 12 volt battery into the wireless remote and a AA battery into the Futurotic® dong. Insert 2 AA batteries into the remote bullet vibe.
• Attach the Futurotic® dong to the thrusting mechanism.
• Push the pillow insert into the lounge.

And a video of me setting the Luv-U-Lounge up. Yes, I keep calling the Futurotic® dong a dildo. Technically, it would probably be considered a vibrator. However, I never put the AA battery in it to vibrate. Therefore, it’s just a dildo to me and I didn’t want to have to deflate it and re-inflate it just to fix that in the video. And please pardon the sucky audio. It was fine until I edited it with Windows Movie Maker :p

Disassembly:

You can either let it deflate on it’s own, or deflate it manually with the hand pump. Just attach the hose to the hole that says “deflate” and start pumping. Once it’s flat, roll it up and cram it in the pink storage bag. This may take some effort and skill.

Cleaning:

• Like I said before, keep a condom over the dong for easy cleaning, but always wash the dong after! You don’t want to leave any residue from the condom on it, especially if it’s a lubricated condom.
• As for the rest of the lounge, wipe it down with a Clorox wipe or something. Really easy to clean.

Lube: water-based or silicone-based is fine

Packaging: Raunchy. Glad this came when hubby wasn’t home so I could run it out to the dumpster.

Troubleshooting:

• If you’re having trouble getting the pillow insert into the cavity in the lounge, deflate it a bit, push it down in there and re-inflate it.
• If the Futurotic® dong isn’t thrusting well, you could be facing one of a few problems: you’re too tight and not relaxed enough, you’re not lubed up well enough, or it’s not hitting you at the right angle. Relax, lube yourself up more, or adjust the pillow in the cavity to a better angle/height.
• If you’re having trouble getting the dong attached, look for the little divot/groove/whatever thingies, match those up with the little protruding bits on the thrusting mechanism, push them in and turn the dong to lock it.
• If the thrusting mechanism isn’t thrusting, make sure the switch on the 8 C battery compartment is switched to the “On” position.

Is it phthalate-free?

Yes and no. The Futurotic® dong (TPR) is phthalate-free. At least, that’s what CalExotics told me. From the smell, I’d assume otherwise, but that chemical smell has dissipated. Still, be sure to always use a condom on it. TPR is porous and can harbor bacteria easily.

The PVC lounge is not. I’m guessing that’s the reason I got so light-headed and nauseous the first time I blew it up :p It doesn’t seem to smell anymore. I hate that it contains phthalates, but I don’t know what else they could’ve used to produce the lounge aside from PVC. I think that’s pretty much what all blow-up furniture is made of.

Summary: 4/5 I love this thing to death, but the phthalates and the raunchy packaging require me to knock off a star. Sorry. It may take a lot of time to set up and a lot of batteries, but I really do like the Luv-U-Lounge. If only PVC didn’t contain phthalates…
