Hush: A Crowdfunded Butt Plug for Long-Distance Play

Lovers can stimulate each other from different continents.

Sex toy company Lovense has developed another vibrating device that users can control across vast distances via a smartphone app.

Hush, a butt plug, is a sister product to Lovense’s bullet vibrator, Lush. The company secured financial support for Hush using the crowdfunding website Indiegogo.

The campaign raised about five times its original target of $10,000, even with about a week to go.

Lovense developed the first renderings of Hush in January 2015 and released the first public images in April 2015, although the Indiegogo campaign did not start until March 2016.

“Unlike most IndieGogo product launches, we have fully tested these products,” says the campaign description.

“We are not looking for money to complete this project… we are looking for early bird users to give general feedback (like comparisons to the other plugs you’ve tried) and suggestions for the app.”

No limits on long distance

Hush users can control the toy from any distance as long as each user has an Apple phone, the app, and a reliable internet connection, says Lovense.

The same app controls Hush and Lush, which both work via Bluetooth across short distances as well.

The app runs in the background of a smartphone so users don’t have to keep their hands on the phone while the toys vibrate.

The waterproof, silicone Hush comes in two sizes and has enough battery power for one or two hours of continuous use. Other features include an option for sound-activated use and a built-in encrypted messaging tool as part of the app.

In addition to the long distance toys Hush and Lush, the latter of which can also be controlled by Apple Watch, Lovense’s interactive male and female sex toys, Max and Nora, are compatible with adult VR videos available at VirtualRealPorn [NSFW].
