Geek Review: Zoey x LELO Sona 2

It’s a given that all of the social isolation we’ve been experiencing hasn’t been kind to our mental wellbeing, but once in a while, everyone needs a little self-care to fend off stress and anxiety and sometimes, it means allowing some little self-pleasure to seep in.

Now, we are NOT saying that a sex toy will fix everything, but self-pleasure has been known to be a great stress reliever and while we can go deep into the science of it, we don’t think anyone needs convincing.

Sex positivity starts with you, and we’re not here to beat around the bush (pun intended), so let’s talk about masturbation and orgasms. Partner or not, sex toys are here to support your pursuit of the Big O. For the sex toy neophyte, we recommend the Sona 2 by LELO, a sleekly-designed pleasure device packed with sensible features.

Swedish-based LELO is the world’s leading designer brand for premium intimate lifestyle products, and they take a design-led approach to engineering their products, promising to offer new sensations to their customers before they even know they want (or at times need) them.

LELO has partnered with Zoey, an all-inclusive platform focusing on healthcare solutions for women, to introduce a range of sexual devices for Singaporeans, starting with the Sona 2. 

The Sona 2 is a world-first sonic clitoral stimulator made for beyond just vibrating, which only stimulates the nerve endings closest to the skin’s surface. Instead, it operates with sonic waves so that the sensations are transmitted along the entire structure of the clitoris. Yes, the clitoris is a far more substantial structure, and it extends around and into the vagina.
