And we’re here again, ready and willing, to do some sex toy reviews. Now, the sharp-eyed among you have spotted the title and seen the product in question. There must have been a thought or two crossing your mind, something along the lines of Oh, he’s doing another cock ring? And yes, you are, indeed, correct – good old Richard Turbo is on another quest to find the one ring to vibe them all!
Seeing as this is the Lelo Tor 3 review, a few things are in order. First of all, I will be comparing this device to its predecessor, one which I have already covered extensively. Next, despite my obvious preference for the Lelo Tor 2, I intend to be as unbiased as possible. And finally…well, no, that’s about it. Neutrality and comparisons to the original, that about sums it up.
Well, with the boring part out of the way, let’s get into what this powerful electric penis pump can actually do.
The Long, Hard, Intense History of Lelo Products
Both Scarlett and I love the Lelo products. Not only are they an absolute delight to use, but they almost always offer some sort of perk when we make a purchase. For a long time now, we have been recommending these toys to our readers and we don’t intend to stop. I myself have discussed the benefits of the Lelo Hugo prostate massager and the F1S V2 masturbator. Scarlett went even further, covering at least 9 Lelo products altogether, most recently including the Mona 2 and the Ora 3.
Starting out in Sweden in 2003, Lelo has become an industry giant in just a few decades. The brand has helped redefine premium sex toys to the point where it can rival other major names like Kiiroo and Lovense. Of course, I’m not throwing shade at any of these other brands, especially since I’ve covered their products in the past with just as much vigor and enthusiasm. If it’s a well-made device that delivers satisfying pleasure, it’s got my seal of approval.
Now, just because a brand has been around for twenty years, that doesn’t mean they don’t get a fair shake, in more ways than one. So, as I stated earlier, I intend to treat the Tor 3 as I would any other cock ring. So, let’s see how strong its initial impact is.
First Impressions: An Upgrade in Every Sense of the Word!
One thing that caught my eye when I was ordering the Third Son of Tor was the fact that it came in three distinct colors. So, my Tor 2 was black and in order to distinguish it from its predecessor, I wanted Tor 3 in a different hue. So, it was either Base Blue or Violet Dusk.
I admit, I’m a sucker for some good marketing and a bit of a normie that likes to follow trends. Nearly every advertisement for the Tor 3 uses the Violet Dusk model, so that’s the one I bought. And though I normally don’t go for these pastel colors and prefer something more subdued, I still wanted to see how this look works for the new Tor.
After unpacking it, I was not disappointed. It actually looked rather nifty, especially in that particular shade of violet. Other than that, the look and the feel of the device were pretty much similar to Tor 2. It’s smooth, well curved and has a hole in the middle, like any other cock ring. And if you know me, you’ll know how much I like holes in toys.
What’s in The Box?
Unboxing time! And oh my, do I love to unbox Lelo products. Every single one of them comes in this smooth-looking package, the kind you feel sorry you have to throw away. I’ve heard that some of my friends kept their Lelo boxes to store their stamp collections or novelty badges.
But enough about the box. Let’s delve inside and see what we get with Tor 3.
Under the lid, we see the following:
- The device itself
- A handy USB charging cord
- A storage pouch (satin, of course)
- Instructions
- A warranty registration card

OK, so there’s the first difference between Tor 2 and Tor 3 – no complimentary lube. Now, obviously, I don’t need complimentary lube with my sex products, since I can simply buy some, but it’s the little things that turn a one-time customer into a regular.
💡 Pro Tip: Whatever toy you use, lubrication is essential. Don't reach for the nearest bottle - make sure the lube matches the toy's material. For the Tor 3: water-based only, as silicone-based lube will damage the silicone surface.
Features
As I said, I’m not the kind of person who will stop using sex toys from a certain manufacturer just because they don’t send me free products. To me, it always comes down to what the toy is like, how it works, and what it can actually do for me and my body. After all, this is a Lelo Tor 3 review. If the product itself doesn’t deliver, no amount of freebies will make me like it.

Size and Shape, Revisited
Similarly to Tor 2, this new outing from Lelo felt a little tight around my girth. In fact, it felt even tighter. Compared to the previous model, Tor 3 is much smaller overall, though it still has the same 1.1-inch diameter. Putting this little powerhouse on was a slight challenge, but in the end, the fit didn’t feel dramatically different from its predecessor.
Regarding the shape, there really isn’t much to tell. I enjoyed the thin, flat shape of Tor 2 and I very much enjoy the same shape of this ring. The same goes for the vibrator that comes with the ring. It’s not awkward or bulky, nor is it too small as to be ineffective. I love the fact that Lelo strikes an excellent balance with their products when it comes to their shapes. You can tell that they did a lot of research (i.e., a lot of masturbation sessions) to reach the optimal designs for their top-of-the-line items.
Materials and Controls, Also Revisited
Tor 2 was quite pleasing to the touch. It was soft, smooth, and absolutely amazing during my longer testing sessions with it. Part of that comes down to the material it’s made from. Silicone, especially the grade used for modern sex toys, is non-porous, easy to clean, and smooth against the skin. That’s why so many different male masturbators and realistic sex toys are made from it. So, if the material works beautifully, there’s no need to change it.
…well, that is what I would normally say, but there are always ways of improving a good product. For instance, Tor 3 is made out of both silicone and ABS plastic. That little addition makes Tor 3 a little harder than the prior model, sure. But it actually increases the pleasure and helps constrict the blood a little more effectively. Furthermore, just like silicone, ABS plastic is safe and really easy to clean. It’s down to a simple rinse!
Now, this wouldn’t be a Lelo Tor 3 review without mentioning the controls. Once again, Lelo has blessed me with a simple two-button setup. However, it also comes with a huge improvement over Tor 2 and that is the app interface. Finally, Scarlett and I can fiddle around with the settings without having to reach the buttons to physically alter the vibration intensity. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with the button controls themselves, but that extra bit of modernization just makes the Tor 3 shine.
Now, are the 6 vibration settings not enough for the refined Tor 2 user? Well, Tor 3 has a total of 8 settings, which is more than enough to bring satisfying vibration to both partners during penetrative play. Broadly speaking, Tor 3 offers minor improvements over Tor 2, but they show up in the areas where they really count.
Testing the Tor 3: Does It Hold Up?
OK, we’ve gone over the main details, but no Lelo Tor 3 review would be complete without an actual test. So, I did this one in two stages. First, I tried it solo because I wanted to see just how effective this little powerhouse could be during manual stimulation. Once I was sure it delivered for me, I brought Scarlett in for partnered play. The results are as follows, ladies and gentlemen.
Me, Myself and I Can’t Believe How Awesome This Is!
Strapping the ring on for the first time felt familiar, which is no surprise considering my history with Tor 2. The major difference was the fact that it was sturdier due to the ABS. Furthermore, it didn’t take long for the constriction to reach its full effect.
Then came the vibrations. I will say, this device is slightly noisier than Tor 2, even with the low settings. Granted, I really don’t mind the noise, considering that my grunts tend to be louder than any device I try. However, I understand that not a lot of dudes appreciate that, so that’s a fair warning – it’s slightly noisy.
Other than that, the experience was absolutely amazing. I reached orgasm within the first 10 minutes of using Tor 3, and that was on the lower settings. More importantly, I played around with the app to see how the connectivity worked, and it was incredibly easy to use. Being able to tap your phone every now and then leaves you free to enjoy more pleasure without having to bend down every few seconds to press a slippery silicone button.
The higher-end vibrations, however, are where this toy really shines. By the time I reached the seventh speed, the sensation felt almost overwhelming in the best possible way. It was so intense, and the fact that all that power came from such a small device made the Tor 3 even more intriguing.
Letting Scarlett in on the Action
Well, now that I’d had my fun, it was time to get Scarlett to help me test the Tor 3 closer to its upper limits. And while it was a great experience overall, it wasn’t exactly perfect.
Oh, Scarlett enjoyed it going in, especially because it made me feel thicker and fuller. Furthermore, the vibrations were strong enough that she was clearly enjoying herself by the end of our third session. The thing is, considering the ring’s smaller size, the vibrator didn’t cover as much of her body as Tor 2 did. Therefore, on the lower settings, she didn’t enjoy it quite as much as she has enjoyed some other similar rings.
Now, I can’t stress enough how much remote control helped improve Tor 3. We both took turns adjusting the vibrations, and it made the experience last longer and feel about ten times better. One of the best features a sex toy can have is couple interactivity, and just having Scarlett choose the intensity at random without awkwardly reaching between us made my orgasm feel stronger than ever. It was a surprise fest, for sure, but a very welcome one.

Final Verdict
Broadly speaking, even accounting for the small trade-offs, I loved the Tor 3. It delivered for both Scarlett and me in style and, most importantly, hands-free. If there is a cock ring I would recommend to any couple wanting a simple but effective device, it’s this one – hands down.
Who Should Buy the Lelo Tor 3?
Buy it if:
- You want a premium hands-free cock ring with app control – the Tor 3’s standout feature
- You already own the Tor 2 and want the app control and expanded vibration range upgrade
- Couple interactivity is a priority – remote adjustment without reaching between partners is the best feature for couples
- You want waterproof construction for cleaning and use flexibility
- You want 3 color options (Black, Base Blue, Violet Dusk)
Skip it if:
- Your girth is above average – the 1.1-inch internal diameter is snug and fitting requires patience
- Noise level matters – the Tor 3 is slightly louder than the Tor 2 at all settings
- You want more partner vibrator surface coverage than the Tor 2 provided – the Tor 3’s vibrator footprint is actually smaller
- You want complimentary lube included – it’s not in the box (Tor 2 had it)

The Lelo Tor 3 Lowdown – What You Need to Know
Beginners and intermediate users who want a premium hands-free cock ring with app control. The 1.1-inch internal diameter suits most users; above-average girth requires patience during fitting. 8 vibration settings cover a meaningful range. Works well for solo and coupled play – remote control is the standout feature for couples. Silicone + ABS construction is durable and body-safe.
Ships in plain packaging with no external branding. 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects (not cosmetic wear or misuse). Claim via Lelo’s website with proof of purchase.
Yes. Silicone and ABS plastic – both body-safe, phthalate-free, non-porous. Water-based lube only. Silicone-based lubricant will degrade the silicone surface.
Fully waterproof – wash with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner, then dry with a lint-free cloth. Store in the included satin pouch in a cool, dust-free spot. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat and other silicone toys (silicone-on-silicone contact causes surface degradation).
The Tor 3 adds three key improvements over the Tor 2: app control via the Lelo app (the Tor 2 used buttons only), 8 vibration settings (up from 6) and a silicone + ABS plastic dual-material construction (the Tor 2 was silicone only). The ABS addition makes the Tor 3 slightly firmer and improves constriction. The Tor 3 is slightly noisier and has a smaller vibrator footprint than the Tor 2. The Tor 3 no longer includes complimentary lube (the Tor 2 did).
Yes. The Tor 3 pairs with the Lelo app (available for iOS and Android) via Bluetooth. The app provides full control over all 8 vibration settings and allows either partner to adjust intensity remotely. This is the primary upgrade over the Tor 2’s physical button-only setup.
The Tor 3 has an internal diameter of 1.1 inches. This suits most users. For above-average girth, fitting the ring requires patience – it is snug by design, which is what produces the constriction effect. Apply water-based lube generously before fitting to make the process easier.
Yes. The Tor 3 works for solo sessions – the constriction and vibration effects are effective without a partner. The app control is particularly useful for solo use, allowing intensity changes without reaching for the ring. For couples, the remote-adjustment dynamic adds an additional dimension of interactivity.
