Send a Poke

A poke is a short, real-time toy command sent to yourself or an accepted connection. Open Pokes (/pokes) to send vibes, presets, or custom patterns within your daily allowance and plan limits.

Before you send​

  • Target must be 💗 Myself or an accepted connection (not pending).
  • The target's toys should be online in Pokes if you want a physical reaction on their side.
  • Check left (pokes remaining today) in the header stats row.

Finish onboarding to poke others; Myself always works.

Send a poke​

  1. Open Pokes (/pokes).
  2. Under TARGET, pick 💗 Myself or a connection (@handle with online/offline dot).
  3. Choose TYPE:
    • ⚡ Poke: single vibe pulse
    • 🌊 Preset: built-in pattern (Pulse, Wave, Fireworks, Quake)
    • 🎨 Custom Pattern: a pattern you saved (Premium; role may apply)
  4. Pick ACTION (toy + feature such as Vibrate).
  5. Set INTENSITY: 5 Default, 10 Tease, 15 Strong, 20 MAX (higher tiers need Premium).
  6. Press the large POKE button.

Also poke my toy​

When poking a connection, toggle Also poke my toy to mirror the command on your own synced device.

Stats on the Pokes page​

  • left: pokes remaining today
  • streak: consecutive days with poke activity
  • total: all-time pokes sent

What you need​

  • Signed-in Pokes account.
  • Lovense toys synced for physical feedback (optional for sending, required for feeling it).
  • Accepted connection (to poke someone else).

How to test​

  1. Send a low-intensity poke to 💗 Myself and confirm the toy responds.
  2. Have a trusted connection send you one poke: confirm cooldowns and limits feel right.
  3. Try a Preset at intensity 5 before using MAX in a live session.
