Lelo calls it a “sonic clitoral massager”. This implies there are sound waves working to get the stimulation going for this sex toy. With this Lelo Sona 2 review, we’ll see how it all works out, and if this toy is more than just hype!
This vibrator belongs to the general category of no-contact clitoral massagers. Unlike conventional wand massagers or bullet vibrators, the toy isn’t exactly in direct contact with the clitoris. Instead, the nozzle goes around the clit, delivering sensations and pleasure without directly touching it.
Let’s get on to the details and see the ins and outs of this toy!

Lelo Sona 2 And The Lelo Sona 2 Cruise
In pretty much every aspect, Lelo Sona 2 is the same as Lelo Sona 2 Cruise. The difference between the two is that the latter includes Lelo’s CruiseControl technology, while the Lelo Sona 2 doesn’t have that system. This means that the cruise is more expensive than the Lelo Sona 2.
However, it’s not all the same. While Cruise technology is interesting and many people enjoy its presence, it’s not the same for everyone. Many people prefer to skip the cruise system, and thus the Sona 2 makes perfect sense.
Either way, both of these are pretty good adult toys. If you enjoy clitoral stimulation, either could be a good choice.
Design And Style For Lelo Sona 2
Lelo Sona 2 is a small, but powerful and well-built product. Its body is almost completely covered in silicone. Lelo uses a high-quality silicone that feels pretty good and soft. It feels great to the touch, and also feels good when pressed against the body.
Silicone is seen as a good choice for vibrators since it is non-porous, non-toxic, and body safe. On the back of this toy, you’ll see a metallic and shiny material. This is ABS plastic.
This material too is non-porous and body-safe. While this part isn’t supposed to come in contact with the body of the user, it’s still good practice to have the toy made completely from non-porous and body safe materials.
Towards the top of the Lelo Sona 2 is the nozzle. This is the part that goes over the clitoris, covering it. Interestingly, Lelo doesn’t use removable or adjustable nozzles for the Sona 2. Although, it doesn’t really matter, since it is wide enough to cover the clitoris nicely.
Lelo Sona 2: Suction Or Sonic
The shape and style of Lelo Sona 2 is very similar to the suction or clit-sucking vibrators that are extremely popular. The viral rose vibrator or the Satisfyer Pro 2 are good examples of suction vibrators. As you might notice, these suction vibrators have pretty much the same style as the Lelo Sona 2.
However, Lelo Sona 2 is not a suction vibrator, it’s a sonic vibrator. There is a small difference at play here, though according to Lelo, it translates into a big difference in pleasure. Though there is some sucking action, Lelo Sona 2 is not a sucking vibrator.
Instead, it uses a sonic system to deliver vibrations deep inside body tissue, thus adding immensely to the pleasure aspect.
If you’ve ever found yourself in front of a big and loud speaker, you might have experienced the sensation of the sound on your body. Sona 2 works on a similar principle, though without being as loud as a speaker! The waves go deep into the body and deliver stimulation.
It’s quite an interesting and amazing style of delivering pleasure. Lelo Sona 2 does manage to handle it very well.
Waterproofing, Charging, And Cleaning
Lelo Sona 2 comes with a USB charging cable and a pin-style connector that goes at the bottom of the toy. You could charge this through any compatible power source. It takes about two hours to fully charge the toy.
Once fully charged, it has a play time of about 2 hours (usually less) depending on usage. It uses a 520 mAh Li-ion battery.
Lelo says that this sonic massager is 100% waterproof. It isn’t harmed by water and can be completely submerged in water. This means you could use this toy in the shower or in the bathtub. However, Lelo suggests against that.
When someone is in a shower or bathtub, the water strips away lubrication. Lelo recommends using Sona 2 with a lubricant for best results. It’s best to use a water-based lubricant with this toy for best results.
Since the Sona 2 is waterproof, cleaning it becomes very easy. You could put it into water or under a tap for a quick cleaning. Using something like a q-tip to clean the nozzle and the area around it should be useful.
Lelo Sona 2 Impressions And Review In Use
Spending Quality Time With Lelo Sona 2
It’s always a good idea to start with some lubricant. In the case of Lelo Sona 2, the presence of lubricant is supposed to help with the pleasure and get the most out of the toy. Since this is a silicone toy, water-based lubrication is the way to go.
Lelo Sona 2 has 12 modes and intensity settings, which means there is a lot to explore and enjoy. The controls are easy to reach, manipulate, and use. They remain easy to handle even when the vibrator is busy with the clit.
Here’s the thing. It’s powerful as soon as you start. Even at the lowest power mode, the toy feels fairly strong and amazing. It takes some time to build up, but the toy is enjoyable and strong without a doubt.
As the intensity level picks up, so does the pleasure. I’ve never been able to reach the max power of this vibrator. It’s usually somewhere a little more than the middle where the buildup eventually results in a very deep and satisfying orgasm.
As someone who likes the buildup that eventually gives way to amazing orgasms, I’m pleased with the way Lelo Sona 2 works for me. It’s easy to use and amazing at orgasms.
Some people claim that they’ve managed to get squirting orgasms when using the Sona 2. While I haven’t had that experience, it isn’t too difficult to believe.
Noise From Lelo Sona 2
There is some noise when you use Lelo Sona 2. Well, non-contact vibrators do tend to be on the noisier side of things. Although, the sound somewhat calms down when you have the massager pressed against your body.
Higher the intensity, the louder the toy seems to get. It isn’t disturbingly loud, or very noisy, but if you’ve got thin walls or some passes by the door of your room, they might notice the hum of the massager.
Conclusion
As we see in this review, Lelo Sona 2 is a very capable and fun sex toy. It’s easy to use, and its mechanism of pleasure is rather unique and interesting.
The sonic waves are supposed to go deep into the tissue to provide stimulation. They do their job very well and the result is very satisfying and enjoyable orgasms. The toy is somewhat expensive but it’s well-made and very pleasurable.
