LELO Sona 3 Cruise Review | Sonic Clitoral Stimulator
Introduction
When I began exploring solo pleasure, like many of you, I had no idea what I was doing. I had a fierce curiosity and fiercer feelings that I couldn’t quite figure out how to alleviate. My knowledge of sex was that something was inserted inside of you, and it made you feel so good that you would gyrate, throw your head back and call out under the soft glow of the moonlight, just like in the explicit part of romance movies that I had no business watching. This gave me the ‘bright’ idea to shove the blunt end of a HB pencil inside myself…girl, I know lol. All I felt was the sharp jab of disappointment (but mostly pencil). Things inside of you were meant to make you call on God, but by that point, I just wanted to call it a night.
At the time, there wasn’t anywhere we could turn to get information on what pleasure was supposed to be like and discussing it amongst our peers wasn’t something that we did, lest we mar our reputation as upstanding pillars of ‘potential wifey material’ for some man we hadn’t even met yet (boooo!). So, it took a lot of fumbling and questionable techniques to understand my body and what pleasure meant to me. Thank f*cking God for sex toys! They were integral to my journey, helping me discover facets of pleasure that I never knew were possible. This made me a better lover; I understood what I desired from a partner, which in turn made me gain confidence communicating my needs. One of the biggest things that came from it was that after struggling for years to achieve climax with a partner, sex toys helped me realise that I wasn’t broken -it was a skill issue of men who understood even less about my body than I did.
I’ve experimented with a wide variety of toys and can confidently say that one of my most adored genres of stimulators is clitoral suction one. Recent internet trends have led many of you to the same conclusion, and though I love that for you, I still stand on my opinion that many of you have not yet experienced just how truly spectacular a great suction toy can be. As someone who has the pleasure of being a climax crusader for a living (and has been trying to put you on to LELO’s Sona range for almost a decade), believe me when I say that this is the propaganda you should be buying in to, because the way they have elevated the Sona in 2026 is award worthy.
The LELO Sona 3 Cruise Clitoral Stimulator is a technologically elevated upgrade of LELO’s bestselling cult-fave clitoral suction vibe, the Sona. I love how intentional LELO are about their product designs. Along with beloved features like their Cruise Control technology that allows the toy to auto-adjust so that no matter the pressure you use, you keep he same intensity, LELO have added SmoothRise technology, which makes the transition between different settings seamless so you can stay in the zone. It also has app capabilities that opens up a whole new world, allowing you to do even more with your device.

How To Use Clitoral Suction Vibrators
The purpose of this type of toy is to simulate the sensations you would receive from oral sex, focusing on the clitoris. It’s an easy type of toy to use (suitable for beginners) as you simply press it against yourself and adjust your placement and the toy setting till you find what feels best for you. The clitoris has different levels of sensitivity depending which area of it you touch, so be sure to move it about and see where your sweet spot is.
The LELO Sona 3 Cruise Clitoral Stimulator comes with lube, which comes in handy as these toys feel best with some slip to them. It helps the suction to latch on better. The shape of the masturbator makes it easy to use it hands free too. Once you’ve found your perfect placement, you can keep it there by closing your thighs around it.
Experience
Pros
The first thing I noticed about the Sona 3 Cruise was how quiet it is, which as someone who lives with other people, is always a big win in my book. There’s nothing as off-putting to your private time as turning on a toy and worrying about whether your flat mates, kids, family members will overhear you. I didn’t have to worry about that one bit with this toy, even when I amped it up to the highest level.
The Cruise versions of the Sona’s are my favourite because of how clever and intentional the designs are. If you’ve used suction toys before, you may have experienced the suction either lessening or stopping altogether when you get carried away and press it against yourself too hard. LELO’s CruiseControl technology doesn’t do that. It accommodates you entering your flow state with no interruptions. This removes some of the guesswork for you as you won’t have to continuously fiddle with it to keep it at the setting that works best for you, because it does it automatically.
Can we talk about the new SmoothRise feature? F*cking genius! Jumps between settings weren’t something I ever gave much thought to as it’s the standard when it comes to sex toys, but now that I know what it’s like not to have that staccato sensation, I don’t ever want to go back. Every toy should have this. And this is what I mean about how intentional LELO are. Girl, the difference it made to the experience was NOTICEABLE. It was so seamless, which made it easier to sink into the sensations it was building. Everyone needs to step their cookies up ‘cause LELO really chewed the girlies up with that.
Speaking of sensations -it was a dream. There was never an instance where I felt the level of suction was too little or too much, in the sense that I could play comfortably at all levels. The Sona 3 Cruise delivers pulsations through LELO’s SenSonic technology as its method to not only create suction, but also stimulate you deeper to the internal parts of your clitoris. Whether you like something gentle or crave more intensity, the LELO Sona 3 Cruise Clitoral Stimulator delivers it to you without being over or underwhelming. Very Baby Bear’s porridge vibes. Very ‘just right.’
Aesthetically, obviously the toy is giving luxe vibes -it’s LELO so you should expect nothing less. The shell design on the back panel serves a chic art deco nod and the rose gold colouring is en vogue with the 2016 renaissance that is currently happening (rose gold and millennials go together real bad).
In terms of ease of use, the Sona 3 Cruise has LELO’s signature 3-button interface, making it easy to operate. The central button powers it on/off and cycles through the functions. The + button increases the intensity and the – button decreases it. The app controls aren’t hard to grasp either. Once the app is installed it will guide you through how to connect your device. Once connected you can expand upon your play by shaking or twisting your phone to control the intensity of your toy, it also has a manual screen that mimics the buttons on the toy so you can cycle through it that way. There are 2 bonus pre-programmed settings -Out of Control and Finish Me Off -where you can let the toy take control of bringing you to climax. Do not skip over these (they’re a lot of fun), especially if you like the ‘morse code’ pattern settings. Every moment is a surprise! Outside of those control functions, the app has a ‘Love Bridge’ which allows you and your partner to play together from anywhere in the world (even more fun if they also have a LELO app-controlled device). You can control each other’s toys, use audio control settings and there’s even a chat function.
Cons
Girl, I have nothing bad to say about this toy. They ate that. No notes. The only possible thing I can flag is that it is a luxury vibe, so it may not be within some people’s budget. I guess it’s a good thing that I have a stackable discount code that you can use in conjunction with any other deals LELO are running, so you can get some extra money off.

Final Rating
This is straight 5 stars. I’ve always loved the Sona range (I will never stop harping on about it), and the Sona 3 Cruise truly is the best of it. I thoroughly enjoyed using this to the point that it has entered my regular sex toy rotation -bedside drawer status. Big tings!
