At the 2026 XBIZ Honors — one of the adult industry’s most respected celebrations of creativity, leadership, and product excellence — Lovense captured top recognition for innovation with its cutting-edge product, the Spinel app-controlled dildo.
The XBIZ Honors & Executive Awards showcase achievements across multiple sectors of the pleasure products and adult business world, celebrating brands that push boundaries, embrace technological advances, and respond to evolving consumer expectations. These honors are part of the larger XBIZ ecosystem of industry events, which also includes the high-profile XBIZ XMA Awards and the celebrated XBIZ Expo in Los Angeles.
Innovation in Interactive Pleasure Tech
Lovense’s accolade this year was the Best Product Innovation Award, given in recognition of the Spinel — an app-controlled dildo that exemplifies the brand’s commitment to blending sophisticated technology with intuitive, user-centered design.
Unlike many traditional sex toys, Spinel integrates remote connectivity and advanced control features, giving users new ways to personalize and interact with their device. The technology reflects a broader shift within the sex tech sector, where app integration, remote functionality, and high-performance hardware are increasingly expected by consumers.
In receiving the award, a Lovense representative highlighted the significance of the honor, calling the recognition “a tremendous honor and a milestone” for the company. The acknowledgment reinforces Lovense’s ongoing focus on creating versatile, high-performance products that enhance pleasure experiences for users around the world.

Lovense has long stood as a major force in interactive sex tech, with a product lineup that regularly earns nominations and awards across industry platforms. Prior to this latest win, Lovense secured multiple nominations at both the 2026 XBIZ XMA Awards and the AVN ‘O’ Awards for a variety of products, including its popular Lush and Gush series — further cementing its reputation for innovation and excellence.
These nominations recognized Lovense’s ability to integrate app-controlled features, remote connectivity, and thoughtful ergonomic design, traits that have helped position the brand as a leader in the interactive pleasure market. Whether addressing solo play or enhancing partner experiences, Lovense products consistently reflect emerging trends in technology-enhanced intimacy.
