Lovense Gush 2 Review: Enjoy the Embrace of This Newest Male Massager

Can you handle 4,300 targeted vibrations and oscillations per minute?

Upon unboxing Lovense’s Gush 2, the first thing I noticed is how light, balanced, and ergonomically pleasant it felt to hold, in comparison with other similar toys. That’s important to me, as my hands are small and I’m always the one to hold and stroke with these types of toys in order to control the pleasure experienced by my penis-endowed partner.

This toy is so easy to use and enjoy! It wrap around a penis with flexible flaps so insertion is easy and possible at any stage of tumescence. Imagine a vibrating taco shape wrapped around a vegan hot dog and you’ll get the idea. Though trust me, Gush 2 is a lot more fun.

Gush 2’s asymmetric flaps are flexible and comfortable. Optional adjustable bands can also convert it from a hand-held stroker to a hands-free toy. In partner play, this means I can now use my hands to do other things too, or have my partner do other things to me, all while they are strapped in and succumbing to the powerful oscillations and vibrations of Gush.

Gush 2 also has a soft, chamois-like feel, inside and out, that is quite different from the hard plastic exterior of another of my favorites, Pulse Dragon Eye by Hot Octopuss. That’s because Gush 2 is made with 100% pure, body-safe silicone.

“It all happened so fast”

After our first time with Gush 2, my partner mentioned their quick response to the toy and then said how much they liked the greater flexibility of the folds and the softer texture, compared to Pulse, our previous, favorite “go to” toy, which is heavier and has thicker, less flexible flaps. I got the distinct impression my partner would rather experience Gush from now on.

The Pulse line is a fine group of toys, so I’m not throwing shade, however I can’t help but notice similarities as well as some key differences between Gush 2 and Pulse. Both have a similar purpose: stimulation that doesn’t rely on degree of erection. They each have a lining of inner ridges in addition a circular vibration center positioned to stimulate the frenulum—a particularly sensitive area—as well as the shaft and head.

However, the ridges that line Gush 2 are thinner and more numerous than those in the Pulse toys, which are thicker. This made me wonder if the combination of powerful 4,300 per minute oscillations and vibrations and a subtler inner surface are more pleasurable than they would be with thicker, harder ridges? Excuse me while I go check!

Gushing out of the box

*Penis Size Graphic from Lovense Gush 2 product page.*

The Gush 2 comes with a magnetic charging cord, two flexible bands that can secure it in place for hands-free use, and an instruction booklet with a slightly larger typeface than most. You may also use the QR code printed on the booklet to access free apps that sync with Gush 2.

Gush 2 is quiet and easy to control, with just one button to power on and off by pressing it for three seconds. A tap to this same button will enable you to cycle through seven kinds of pre-programed vibrations and oscillations (the original Gush did not oscillate).

If you’re curious about the power of the Gush 2 but don’t have a penis yourself, I recommend inserting a couple of fingers inside it after turning it on, or holding its base against the palm of your hands, so you can feel each of these settings yourself. No wonder this toy could easily become anyone’s favorite stroker!

The toy has a 1 year warranty, and can pair with the following Lovense products for both remote and in-person play:

Edge 2 prostate massager;
Diamo cock ring;
Lush 4 g-spot vibrator.

You can use it with the Lovense Remote app to sync with it games and music (there’s a sound activation feature), and the Vibe Mate app will enable you to sync Gush 2 with interactive video content. The Remote app also gives you access to more customized oscillations and vibrations.

Gush 2 is fully waterproof (IPX7 rating) for easy cleaning and use in shower or tub. It weighs 195 grams. Charging for 75 minutes gives you 110 minutes of play. Use it only with water based lube. Lovense of course recommends its own brand.

Just one downside

I made the mistake of trying to fasten the optional straps around Gush 2, after applying lube to the toy. This made using the straps impossibly slippery and it was hard to get the small pegs to fit into the stretchy holes of the straps. If you are going to use the straps, put everything in place first, then drizzle lube into the toy’s interior and onto the penis.

Other than that, everything was easy. In fact, the toy’s product page even tells you how to gauge how tightly you’ll fit the straps, depending on penis girth. So I give this toy high marks for customer support. Lovense appears to have thought of everything.

High marks for ease of edging and stamina training

Yes, you can get fast results with Gush 2, if speed is what you crave, but a lot of reviewers on the product webpage praise it for hours of edging and stamina training enjoyment.

Speaking of reviews, one user said Gush is great for “discreet public play” with his wife. Though the toy is relatively compact I have a hard time seeing how it can be worn discreetly, unless one wears a trench coat, inflatable costume, or sits in a car.

Another user said “it made a boring trip to see parents for the holidays really fun and exciting.” Pass the cranberry sauce, indeed!

Another said, “Its fun to use for solo sessions but letting someone else control is amazing!” As I mentioned earlier, the toy’s ergonomic design makes this much easier for the person doing in-person toy topping.

Finally, Gush 2 is reasonably priced as well as well-designed and exceptionally pleasurable. I give it a five stars!
