With this Lelo Tiani 3 review, we take a closer look at this fantastic couple’s vibrator. Tiani 3 is a classic C-shaped sex toy with dual stimulation. One arm of this toy is insertable and built for massaging the G-spot. Its other arm goes over the clitoris and delivers vibrations there.
As a couples vibrator, Tiani 3 includes some interesting design touches. Its insertable side has a design that allows the user to stay comfortable when engaging in sex with their partner. As such, it stays out of the way if you’re trying PiV (penis in vagina) sex with your partner, or intend to insert a dildo.
To add more joy to this as a couples toy, Tiani 3 comes with a remote control. This allows for some fun in the bedroom and even opens doors for public play.
Now that we have the basics, let’s get a more detailed look and review of the Lelo Tiani 3.

Notes For Packaging And What’s In The Box
Well, one very cool thing about the Lelo Tiani 3 is the packaging and box. Lelo generally seems to do well in this area. Their packaging maintains that touch of luxury and premium feel that sort of makes you excited for what comes next.
As you open the package, you’ll find it contains the following:
- Lelo Tiani 3
- A remote control
- USB charging cable
- A storage pouch
- Warranty card
- Instruction manual
- 2xAAA batteries for the remote
I like that the box includes everything you need to get started, including the AAA remote batteries. It’s worth noting that the toy has rechargeable batteries, but you’ll need separate batteries for the remote.
Design And Build Notes For Tiani 3
When going through a critical outlook of the Lelo Tiani 3, you’ll find it’s built purposefully and with a good design.
As a couples vibrator, it has a C-shaped body. It’s coated in body-safe silicone, which is non-porous, phthalate-free, and high-quality. The silicone feels pretty good against the skin and has that soft and smooth touch that we can appreciate and love.
You’ll notice the metallic-looking ring on the vibrator. This one is made from ABS plastic. The plastic too is body-safe and non-porous.
A similar theme is carried on to the round remote of the Tiani 3. The body is silicone, while the shiny parts are ABS plastic.
There are plenty of C-shaped vibrators and dual stimulators on the market. For example, the Lovense Lush 3 does a magnificent job at g-spot stimulation, while the Lovense Dolce goes for dual stimulation of the clit and g-spot.
Though Lelo Tiani 3 has a generically similar look as these two vibrators (and many more), its purpose is different. This is a couples vibrator and therefore it must keep room for inserting a penis or dildo into the vagina.
With that in mind, the insertable side of the Lelo Tiani 3 is thinner and has a somewhat flat design. This side is intended for the G-spot and is wide to provide a higher surface area. Yet, it also leaves enough room for the partner.
The bigger, bulkier side of the Lelo Tiani 3 is meant for clitoral stimulation. There is some flexibility where the two arms meet, opening to a little less than a 180 degree straight line. That gives you a lot of room for easy insertion.
Use of the larger surface area for stimulation on both arms serves as a way to cover all body types, but it isn’t necessarily a fit for everyone.
The insertable length for the Lelo Tiani 3 is 3.1-inches and the vibrator size is 3.1 x 1.8 x 1.3 inches.

About The Battery And Charging The Toy
Lelo Tiani 3 comes with a USB charger. If you prefer, you can plug it into a compatible wall charger/socket, or connect it to your computer or a similar device for charging.
I’m not a fan of how this toy charges. It takes a really antiquated and annoying approach, which doesn’t look half as good as it’s supposed to. We’re in an era where most adult toys (and even electronics, in general) are shifting to easier charging methods. Magnetic charging is all the rage with adult toys these days.
For whatever reason, Lelo Tiani 3 puts all these aside and gives us old-fashioned charging. To charge the vibrator, you’ll have to unscrew the clitoral side of the vibrator. This happens right near the shiny plastic ring.
Once you’ve disassembled the vibrator this way, attach the charging pin to the clitoris stimulator. This is the shorter part you unscrew from the vibrator. As the Lelo Tiani 3 begins charging, you’ll see an indicator light that clarifies this status.
The vibrator has a lithium-ion battery that takes roughly two hours to charge. Lelo claims a play time of 2 hours, though this can vary depending on your pattern and intensity preferences. Those who prefer the vibrations at higher intensity, may find that the play time is close to an hour.
To be fair to the vibrator, the play time isn’t that big of a problem. For normal users, one hour is going to be enough, even with longer use with public play.
Waterproofing, Cleaning, And Their Limitations For Lelo Tiani 3
Technically speaking, the Lelo Tiani 3 is waterproof. Lelo claims that it is 100% waterproof, which means it’s safe to use it in the shower or bathtub.
But there is a little problem with this waterproofing, which requires your attention. As you know, charging this vibrator requires unscrewing one part from its body. After every charge, remember to attach the parts or assemble the vibrator carefully.
A mistake in properly attaching the vibrator could mean that it’s no longer waterproof, and thus susceptible to damage.
It will also be very easy to clean this vibrator as there’s less to worry about water damage. Speaking of cleaning, remember to give extra attention to the plastic ring. The points where these two materials meet (silicone and plastic) can give hiding room for body fluids and lube.
Well, the plastic is on the clit side of the vibrator, so there’s less to worry about body fluids, but there’s always a chance. Besides, it’s still a good spot for lubricant, or personal moisturizer, as some prefer to call it.
Though I say it with every review, I’ll repeat myself again. Yes, you need to use a lubricant with this and any other sex toy. It keeps things safer, better, and more pleasurable. Doesn’t matter how wet you get, use a lube. It’s best to use water-based lubricants with silicone toys.

Use And Review – How I See The Lelo Tiani 3
Getting To Know The Remote
Lelo Tiani 3 remote control massager connects to, and is controlled by Lelo’s remote with Sensemotion technology. The Sensemotion technology adds a gesture component to the radio.
When used with this system, the vibrations are at their lowest when the remote is flat (facing upwards).
As you change the angle of the remote, vibrations on the Tiani 3 get progressively stronger. They’re strongest when the remote is vertical (turned 90 degrees from flat). At this point, you’d be looking at the edge of the remote.
It’s quite an interesting technology. Though it’s not very impressive by itself, it lends itself splendidly to creativity and play. That opens a few doors to how you (and your partner) want to go about things. In skillful hands, this promises to be very sensuous.
Of course, you don’t have to absolutely rely on Sensemotion to use this remote. It’s possible to use it the regular way without worrying about other aspects.
There are three buttons on the remote. The ones with the +/- signs are for increasing/decreasing the vibration intensity. The button at the center comes into play when switching patterns etc.
I’d have preferred the remote to be smaller and more discreet. However, it’s not that bad by itself. Besides, I suppose the Sensemotion system needs a fair bit of space for itself as well.
You’ll need two AAA batteries to keep the remote running.
Getting A Feel Of The Tiani
Now let’s get talking about the juicy part – how this vibrator actually feels.
Inserting the Tiani 3 is easy enough. After all, it’s designed to take only a small space. So with a smattering of lubricant, the insertable side of the vibrator took its place without issue. Keeping the clitoral side on the right spot turned out to be more of a struggle then I had expected.
The clit massager takes its place with ease, however, it has a tendency to lift up and the vibrations end up feeling the not-good kind of buzzy. I found that it needs a little bit of pressure to stay in place.
This works okay if my partner is handling the remote or for public play. When going solo in the bedroom, it gets a bit annoying.
On the bright side, the g-spot arm stays in place and delivers pleasurable vibrations. Playing it with the remote is fun.
I found that with solo play, I prefer the gesture of the Sensemotion remote a lot better than pressing buttons. It feels so much easier and intuitive to change intensity with just a small movement of the remote.
Well, pressing buttons isn’t difficult, but using the movement of the remote isn’t disturbing or distracting. It’s a quick and easy way to manage the vibrations.
Lelo Tiani 3 has eight power settings to deliver just the right amount of vibration intensity that you want. I found the vibrations immensely fun and pleasurable, but not orgasmic.
Things changed with my partner joining in on the action. During PiV sex, the presence of the vibrator is noticeable, though it doesn’t get in the way. Plus, the extra pressure on the vibrator seems to have worked right for me. Now that was a satisfying orgasm!

Noise And Public Play Aspects Of Lelo Tiani 3
Initially, I wasn’t all that sure that taking Lelo Tiani 3 out for public play would be a good idea. The clitoral side is wide and there was a chance that the vibrator would be visible, especially when wearing trousers or jeans.
Turns out, the clit arm of the vibrator isn’t that big. It appears thicker than it is mostly due to the insertable arm being flat. Once I took it out to play, it fit in nicely and I was certain that the vibrator won’t be visible when wearing trousers.
Lelo Tiani 3 is comfortable to
It responds quickly to the remote, so the excitement and quick changing intensity can be a treat. Again, if your partner knows your preferences and body, this is an absolute treat!
The vibrator isn’t noisy, or at least its sound won’t travel far. Lelo places its noise level at 50 dB, which is almost the same as a person talking.
At lower vibration intensity settings, it’s fairly silent and won’t be obvious. When used for public play, anything with some background noise should be sufficient to drown out the sound of the vibrator.
Of course, your ears are the best judges for this scenario. Trust them for being safe and making sure that the vibrator noise doesn’t flow in places where it isn’t supposed to.

The Review Verdict
Lelo Tiani 3 remote controlled personal massager is a fairly popular toy and has seen commercial success. It’s designed with couples in mind and works well when used independently or with PiV sex.
While working on this Lelo Tiani 3 review, I saw a few shortcomings, like the archaic charging method and difficulty keeping the clitoral side of the vibrator where I wanted it to be. And while the vibrator didn’t bring me to orgasm all by itself, I found it to be fun and enjoyable.
