What it is: The Lovense Glint is a small vibrating butt plug for couples. Lovense launched it worldwide on October 20, 2026 (our launch coverage). Its hook is a touch sensor in the external base. Skin contact, pressure and thrust against the base change the vibration, so a partner can run the toy with their body instead of an app. It's for anyone with a butt: reviewers have tested it with vulva-owners and with men curious about prostate play. 🍑

Why It Matters

Glint is the first mainstream toy to use a partner's physical contact as the main control input. If buyers keep it after the novelty wears off, expect "touch as the remote" to show up in more couples hardware, and expect Lovense to keep using Toy Sync to sell a second device into the same household.

What makes it special: Three touch modes, all set up in the Lovense Remote app. Pulse gives short bursts on contact. Sustain holds vibration as long as there's contact, scaled to pressure. Crescendo builds while contact is held. Sensitivity is adjustable, and touch response can be switched off. Toy Sync lets Glint's base drive a second Lovense toy (Lovense's example is the Edge 2 prostate massager), so one touch triggers both. There's also the usual Lovense app stuff: long-distance control, music sync and custom patterns. It's deliberately small. Sex Toy Magazine measured about 2.76 in insertable and a 0.84 in (21.5 mm) maximum diameter, and Dapper & Groomed lists 55 g.

What reviewers are saying: Early reviews like the size and the concept, with some disagreement about the touch tech. Sex Toy Magazine called it beginner-friendly, secure ("no slipping out when I move around"), and especially good during penetrative sex in Crescendo mode. Its verdict: "Absolutely" worth it. My Sex Toy Guide (Angela Kempf) found the sensor "as responsive as I could have wanted" during partnered sex and oral, and measured noise under 50 dB. She also found the intermittent buzz distracting at times, the touch feature not very useful solo, and the silicone a serious lint magnet. Dapper & Groomed gave it 9/10 as an approachable first plug for men and a fun couples add-on. Their tester mostly ran it at max intensity, though, and "didn't notice a huge difference" from the touch feature. The consensus so far: a well-made, quiet, beginner-sized plug. The touch control is the real draw for couples and does little for solo play.

Price and where to buy: Lovense listed an early-bird price of $109 through October 31 against a $238 regular list price, as we reported at launch. My Sex Toy Guide also lists it at $109 on Lovense's site. Expect promos after the launch window, and compare prices before paying list.

Materials and safety: Body-safe silicone with a flared base, which is the non-negotiable for anal toys. Dapper & Groomed reports it's IPX7 waterproof, and My Sex Toy Guide reports about 1 hour to charge for up to 3 hours of use and a one-year warranty. Use plenty of water-based lube, wash with warm water and soap, and never go anal-to-vaginal without cleaning it or using a fresh barrier. Note that the optional Touch Records feature logs interaction data. Lovense says it's off by default, so leave it that way unless you want it.

The bottom line: Buy it if you're a couple curious about adding anal play to partnered sex and you like the idea of your partner's body running the vibration. It's also a low-commitment first plug for anyone nervous about size. Skip it if you mostly play solo, already own larger plugs or a dedicated prostate massager, or don't want an app in the bedroom. A cheaper, simpler vibrating plug will do the job for you.
