[Unboxing] LELO SONA 3 Review & Unboxing – The Ultimate Sonic Clitoral Massager

First Impressions

The box? Sleek. Minimal. Totally in line with LELO’s “luxury without shouting about it” vibe. You don’t get anything flashy or awkward—just a classy matte box that honestly looks more like it should be housing a premium gadget than a toy. No one would bat an eye if this was sitting on your shelf.

What’s in the Box

Here’s the rundown when you open it up:

• LELO SONA™ 3 Device – Compact but with some nice weight (128 g, to be exact). The silicone is ridiculously soft—smoother and squishier than earlier versions. Right out of the box, it feels luxe and inviting.

• USB Charging Cable – No funky proprietary plugs, just straightforward USB charging. Two hours plugged in gets you about two hours of play.
  

• Quick Start Guide & Authenticity Card – Handy basics, plus you’ll want that card to register your 1-year warranty.

• Storage Pouch – Soft, discreet, and makes tossing it in a drawer or travel bag a no-stress situation.

The Star of the Show

Let’s talk about what makes this thing tick. SONA™ 3 uses SenSonic™ technology, which means instead of a buzzy motor pressing directly against your skin, it uses sonic waves that pulse and resonate around the clitoris—even parts you can’t see. The sensation? Way deeper than a surface-level vibration.

This version also comes with SmoothRise™ tech, so when you switch between the 10 intensity levels, the changes feel gradual instead of jolting. It’s a small thing, but it makes a huge difference in comfort. And if you connect it with the LELO app, you unlock two extra modes (“Finish Me Off” and “Out of Control”) plus the playful Love Bridge feature, which lets your partner take control from anywhere in the world.

Buttons & Ease of Use

The interface is simple: three buttons (+, –, and the center (( )) mode button). Switching between 10 modes is quick, and you can ramp intensity up or down without fumbling around. If you hold the buttons down together, it locks—perfect for travel.

Test Run Vibes

I gave it a quick charge (the LED pulses while charging, then glows steady when ready). First impressions? Whisper-quiet (<60 dB), but don’t let that fool you—the power is definitely there. The sonic waves hit at around 63 Hz, which feels rumbly and deep instead of buzzy.

The silicone feels silky against the skin, and since it’s fully waterproof (IPX7), cleaning is as easy as rinsing under water. Bath or shower play? 100% on the table.

Final Thoughts

Unboxing the SONA™ 3 felt more like opening a luxury gadget than a toy, which is exactly LELO’s sweet spot. It’s discreet, beautifully designed, and the silicone finish alone makes it feel indulgent. Between the sonic pulses, app features, and travel-friendly design, it’s the kind of toy that feels like a long-term keeper rather than a one-off fling.

If you’re curious about deeper, rumbly stimulation that goes beyond surface-level vibrations—and you like your toys to come with a side of elegance—the SONA™ 3 might just be your new go-to.
