What\u2019s unique about LELO\u2019s SONA Cruise compared to other toys?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify-selected\"><strong>Alyssa:<\/strong> &#8220;SONA Cruise doesn\u2019t use traditional vibrations. Instead, it uses sonic wave technology, which stimulates the deeper internal nerve endings of the clitoris. This is different from surface-only stimulation because it engages the pudendal nerve and the vagus nerve, which connects directly to the brain. That\u2019s why many users describe SONA orgasms as more full-bodied and longer-lasting.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify-selected\">The \u2018Cruise Control\u2019 is a patented feature. With most toys, intensity drops when you press them harder against your body. SONA Cruise stores extra power in its system and automatically releases it when pressed firmly\u2014so the sensation stays consistent. Users say this prevents the frustrating \u2018drop-off\u2019 mid-orgasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify-selected\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Study Insight<\/strong>. A 2020 clinical review from The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that devices using sonic wave technology produce 30% faster orgasms compared to traditional vibrators. <a href=\"http:\/\/jsmjournal.com\/article\/S1743-6095(20)30247-6\/fulltext\">Source<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify-selected\"><strong>Sophie: <\/strong>&#8220;Lola, how did adding SONA Cruise to your OnlyFans shows affect your income?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lola:<\/strong> &#8220;Massively!
