The Black Friday Purchase People Don't Regret

A 27,931-woman study, a 43% regret rate and a Dec. 7 deadline — why Lovense's early-access deals are built around buying once, not buying cheap.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 11, 2026 — Lovense, the smart intimate wellness brand, has its 2026 Black Friday early-access deals live through Dec. 7.

This Black Friday, 71% of Americans say they will spend more than they planned just to secure a deal, according to a November 2026 Lightspeed survey — and 43% of Black Friday shoppers regret at least one purchase within a week of buying it, according to a November 2026 SweepsPulse survey of 2,000 U.S. adults. The discount is real; the decision is what fails. That makes Black Friday less a test of bargain-hunting than a test of judgment. The money gets spent either way; the only real variable is whether the thing you bought is still in use in months.

Sex toys have become exactly the kind of purchase Black Friday was built for: a higher-ticket device, used often, increasingly app-controlled. Shoppers plan for it, compare it, and wait for the discount — which is why a bad buy hurts more here than in a stocking-stuffer category.

Which is why the evidence matters more than the price. The most reliable way to reach orgasm — alone or with a partner — isn't a technique. According to a study of 27,931 women, it's a purchase.

Researchers analyzed Flo app users for the study, published in June 2026 in Archives of Sexual Behavior, ranking partnered and solo activities by how often they produced orgasm. With a partner, the top three were sex toys, penetration plus clitoral stimulation, and masturbation with a partner present. Alone, it was a vibrator. The common thread: the ones that worked were the ones you buy. Orgasm was never purely about technique. It has been about equipment.

Which makes the buying harder than the doing. The cheap one dies in a month, and takes the habit with it. The expensive one is a gamble you can't test, so it stays in its box. And if your partner lives in another city, half the category doesn't apply to you.

What to Look for in a Pleasure Tool

Lovense's lineup addresses the three most common concerns in the category. 

Comfortable: Body-safe silicone, shapes that stay where they're put, and a body-contouring curve that makes hands-free a real option.

Controllable, even across distance: Intensity and rhythm should adjust to how you feel in the moment, rather than simply switching on and off. With the Lovense Remote app, users can fine-tune intensity, create custom vibration patterns, and browse patterns shared by other users in the Lovense Pattern Center. Long-distance partners can also control each other's toys remotely while chatting on a video call. According to Lovense's Distance Index 2026, released in October, users logged over 5 million remote sessions between October 2025 and September 2026, averaging 20.4 minutes each.

A complete ecosystem with immersive experiences: The Lovense ecosystem includes more than 30 connected toys that can pair with and control one another, while vibrations can respond in real time to music, sound, video, alarm and more features for a more immersive experience.

The 2026 Black Friday early-access deals are live through Dec. 7: up to 70% off selected devices, 55% off when shoppers buy any two from Nov. 12, and a surprise gift on qualifying orders from Nov. 25. The nine devices below are grouped by who they're for and how much novelty you actually want: Whether you're shopping for someone close by, a long-distance partner or yourself, there's a match for everyone.
