Unboxing
Packaging Quality – Premium, minimal packaging. Nice not having that extra layer of plastic on the box, making the LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console a hint more environmentally-friendly than other toys out there on the market.
Presentation – Professional.
Included Items – LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console (6 inches long, 10 inches exterior circumference), 19” USB Type-A charging cord, 2 LELO personal moisturizers (glycerine free and paragon free) 17 fl oz/5 ml, a card showing where to register one’s warranty, getting an extra year free if registered within 30 days, a printed square showing where to download the LELO app, a printed square showing how to win LELO’s Inez Gold — “a $20K luxurious LELO sex toy covered with a 24-karat gold plate,” instructions offered in 15 different languages (small print).
First Reaction To The Product Design – At first glance, the LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console might be a confidence-builder for penis owners with average and perhaps shorter length. Penis owners with larger members may feel a bit discouraged wondering if they’ll be able to fit their entire member in. The LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console is wider than a toilet paper roll, which may cause penis owners with average and thinner members to wonder how the base of their penises might be pleasured, as wide as it is. Penis owners with larger members should be quite content to try it out.
Material Feel – The soft silicone is probably my favorite feature, upon first inspection. The soft touch of it makes me feel safe, curious anticipation, and invited in. I appreciate the added ribbed texture, which starts perhaps an inch into it.
Smells – Just a hint of a faint, neutral, new smell and only if I intentionally put my nose up to it to smell it. The subtle smell of the newness convinces me that I will be the first penis-owner to conquer it.
To Hold – Comfortable, but a bit heavier and wider than expected, with the muted shape possibly being a good thing if a person were to come across it who one didn’t mean to see it.
Power Button – Responsive. The power button is on the end of the LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console — opposite the end in which one’s penis is inserted.
Vibration Levels – 8, and each vibration level can be increased or decreased. In my opinion, all vibration levels are safe for beginners all the way to advanced. At times, the sound might remind me of ocean waves traveling to and fro. Other times, the change in vibration patterns somehow reminds me of Morris Code through feeling it more so than hearing it. My favorite settings of 3 and 7 felt to me like there was more of an equal vibration balance between the base of the penile shaft and penis head. Level 1 is probably the most basic, at one steady vibration.
Mode Switching – Good.
Charging Method – Charge via 19” USB Type-A cord.
Controls – Intuitive once you get the hang of it. Based on the LELO logo at the closed end of the LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console having the + button (increase speed) to the left and the – button (decrease speed) to the right, I found it slightly confusing, as if made backwards. However, it makes sense once the penis is inserted. Looking down at the top or end of the device at the controls when the device has been penetrated, the logo ends up appearing upside down, with the – (decrease speed) is to the left and the + (increase speed) is to the right.
Water-proof? Mostly, in my opinion. To wash it, I will fill the cup-part of the LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console with soapy water and even run soapy water down the outside of it. However, I try to not let water run directly on the exterior closed end since that is where the charging port is.
There is a little cover for the charging port to keep it dry, so that end is certainly water-resistant, but I personally choose to do everything I can in my power to take care of the LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console, in an effort to not do anything that could potentially void the warranty. So I would consider this product to be water-resistant, to be safe.
Product Performance & Comfort – The LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console performs mostly as expected. Based on its wider mouth and shorter length, one might not expect to feel fully consumed by it, making the idea of pumping into it a bit less desirable. One goal might be to see if one can orgasm from just the effects of the vibrations, with only an occasional pump, which can usually work given time.
What I do really appreciate is that this product is NOT one of those vibrating rotational toys that only turns one way, which can sometimes be a bit rough on one’s penis. The LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console, instead, is a much better balance of simple, sweet, centered, differing vibration patterns that can be powered to different levels, giving the penis-owner an equivalent to a clitoris-owner’s clitoral stimulator. While both are rather solo endeavors, they can become a shared, bonding experience when both partners are using their own toys simultaneously together.
Noise Level – When on but not penetrated, the LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console can be just loud enough to make one want to close their windows and consider who on the other side of their bedroom wall might hear it. However, once the Pleasure Console has been penetrated, it quiets down significantly. The noise issue then becomes that of the combination of lubrication, suction, and deep pumping — sounding like a bunch of farting sounds coming out of one’s solo sexual performance all at once.
This can create a momentary atmosphere of both humor and distracting self-conscious embarrassment. Should just a pin-sized hole be added to the end of the Pleasure Console, allowing just enough air to escape when the Pleasure Console is penetrated, to decrease the suctioned farting-sound a hint, but not eliminate the nice suction-feel entirely?
Cleaning – Easy. Wash with soapy water, under the bathroom sink’s water faucet. Try to not allow water to directly hit or soak the small, covered charging port area on the end of it, but the port area should still be water-resistant enough to allow for normal, damp cleaning/wiping.
Drying & Storage – Easy drying. Just be sure you know where you want to dry it and store it ahead of time, so that your LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console will not be easily accessed by those you do not want accessing it.
Charging time – Within the hour.
Battery Life Impression – Good. Average.
Pros – Professional packaging, and the feel of the product.
Considerations – Plump up the opening and add vibrations specifically to the rim of the opening of the LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console, to give it more of a vaginal look and sensory feel. With added closed plumping of material at the opening to penetrate, this too might help decrease the vibrating noise coming from the non-penetrated product. Also, place the exterior rectangle window along the top instead of to the left side, as many penis owners can have added visual stimulation by watching their member penetrate the LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console.
Who Will Benefit Most – Beginners, intermediate, and advanced users.
Biggest Surprise – In my opinion, the LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console is more about vibrations than strokes — not as Fleshlight-like as expected, which is fine. The LELO F1S V3 XL Pleasure Console is a NEW experience.
