What caught my attention with the original Gush was the problem it solved: standard sleeve toys are built around an average size that leaves many people out, and its flexible band got around that. So when Lovense announced the Gush 2, I looked into what changed.

The most common complaints about the original Gush were a short battery and a band that loosened with a lot of lube. The Gush 2 answers both, with a battery of up to 110 minutes and a redesigned band, and adds the oscillation function that gets a lot of attention on r/Lovense.

I haven't used this one myself; I research male toys through community feedback, verified buyer reviews and the Lovense forums, and this is what owners report.

Who should buy the Gush 2?

Design and fit

The open design is the point of this toy. The flexible silicone band stretches from 2.5" to 7" in circumference, which covers most users, and buyers mention it first: they no longer have to gamble on whether a sleeve will fit.

What's new in the Gush 2

• Band retention: a redesigned lock stops the band loosening during use. The original Gush sometimes slipped with a lot of lube, and owners say that is fixed.
• Motor placement: two motors, placed to target the frenulum and the glans, each running at its own intensity.
• Silicone: Lovense lists food-grade silicone, soft against sensitive skin.
• Shape: a slightly thinner profile that makes it easier to use with a partner during sex.

Battery life and charging

A short battery was a frequent complaint about the original. Lovense rates the Gush 2 at 77 to 110 minutes, depending on intensity. On r/Lovense, several users say they can now run longer app-controlled sessions with a partner without the battery dying mid-session, though it is still short next to many toys.

Power and performance

The two separately controlled motors set it apart from a basic vibrator: they run at different intensities at once, one on the glans and one on the frenulum. Several buyers on the Lovense site say the frenulum targeting is what makes it different from anything they had tried. The oscillation mode, a rocking, wave-like movement, is separate from the vibration, and it is what people mean when they say they didn't expect how it felt.

Vibration

• Rumbly rather than buzzy: buyers describe deep vibrations that don't numb the surface.
• Separate control: set the upper motor high and the lower one at minimum, or any other mix.
• Patterns: preset patterns plus unlimited custom patterns in the app.

App and long-distance control

The Gush 2 runs on the same Lovense Remote app as my Domi 2, which I know well. Long-distance control works as you'd expect: your partner controls it from anywhere, with no real lag on a stable internet connection. On the Lovense forums, long-distance couples often pair it with the Nora, both controlled in the same app.

Without the app

One button: hold it for 3 seconds to switch the toy on or off, and tap it to cycle through the vibration and oscillation settings. Custom patterns, sound and music sync, and partner or long-distance control need the Lovense Remote app.

Real-world use

Solo

Most positive solo reviews are about hands-free use: set a pattern in the app, secure the band and edge for long stretches without moving it. Several buyers on r/Lovense say the oscillation is less likely than a strong vibrator to overstimulate during long sessions.

During sex

The slim profile makes it usable with a partner during penetrative sex. Buyers who tried it say the partner notices the vibration, though the main sensation stays on the glans. The redesigned band matters here, since the original's slipping would have made this frustrating.

Long-distance relationships

This is the use I know best, from my own long-distance relationship with my partner in Australia. The Gush 2 uses the same Lovense Remote app I use with my Domi 2, with reliable, low-lag partner control over long distances. Couples often pair it with the Nora, so each partner has a toy in the same session, which is as close to a shared physical experience as time zones allow.

Gush 2 specs at a glance

How oscillation differs from vibration

Oscillation keeps coming up in Gush 2 reviews, and it is different from vibration. A vibrator moves in fast, repeated cycles; oscillation is a slower, wave-like rocking from side to side. On r/Lovense, people say it feels more like a hand than anything electric. Buyers rate it 5.0/5, the highest score I've seen for a single feature in the Lovense male line.

Owners often compare it with the original Gush, whose strong vibration overstimulated people in long sessions, a common complaint on r/Lovense. The Gush 2 added oscillation in answer to that, and buyers say they can now go longer before it becomes too much.

Its cleaning score (4.9/5) is the highest in the Lovense male line because an open channel rinses clean under running water without taking anything apart, while enclosed sleeves trap residue. If you use a toy often, that adds up.

How the Gush 2 does in each use

With an open cup, two separately controlled motors and an oscillation mode, the Gush 2 feels different depending on how you use it. From buyer feedback:

Solo: finding your mix of oscillation and vibration

Solo buyers try different balances of oscillation and vibration before settling on one. Since the oscillation is the standout feature (5.0/5 from buyers), many start with it and bring in the second motor's vibration gradually, rather than running both at full intensity from the start.

With a partner: handing over the app

Through the Lovense Remote app, a partner in the same room can take over both motors, oscillation and vibration, while you focus on the sensation. Buyers say this makes it more interactive, since the partner changes the intensity and pattern as they watch your reactions.

Long distance: edging by remote

For long-distance couples, the longer battery (up to 110 minutes) makes remote sessions more practical than with the original Gush, whose battery warnings buyers found frustrating. A partner anywhere can control the oscillation and vibration through the app; charge it fully before a long session.

Regular use: cleaning and charging

Because the open channel rinses clean under running water without taking it apart (4.9/5 for cleaning, the best in the Lovense male line), regular users finish up much faster than with enclosed sleeves. A full charge takes 75 minutes, so charging it after each session is the easy habit.

Who should skip the Gush 2

The Gush 2 focuses on the glans and frenulum, with oscillation first, so look elsewhere if:

• You're uncircumcised, or you want full-shaft stimulation rather than focused glans/frenulum contact. The Max 2 delivers a full-sleeve, air-pump contraction experience built for a different anatomy and sensation.
• You're shopping for a toy worn during partnered penetrative sex rather than for solo stimulation. The Diamo is a cock ring designed for couple vibration during intercourse.
• You want a heated stroker. The Gush 2 has no heating; the Calor has a heating function.
• You're looking for prostate or perineum stimulation rather than penile stimulation. The Edge 2 is built specifically for P-spot and perineum targeting.
• You want a couples' toy for simultaneous internal and external stimulation during sex, not a solo male toy. The Tenera 2 is designed for wear during partnered intercourse.

Lubrication and fit tips

With an open cup and two motors, a few setup details matter more than with an enclosed sleeve. Tips that come up often in buyer feedback:

Use plenty of water-based lubricant

Because the open channel doesn't enclose the penis like a sleeve, buyers say generous lube matters more here: with too little, the oscillation drags instead of gliding.

Place the cup over the frenulum, not only the tip

The curved cup is shaped to target the frenulum specifically, and buyers who position it slightly lower than the very tip report a noticeably more intense response than those who center it on the tip alone. A few minutes of repositioning during the first session is normal while finding the right spot.

Run the two motors at different intensities

Rather than syncing both motors to the same intensity, buyers consistently recommend setting the glans-side and frenulum-side motors differently, one higher and one lower, and adjusting the balance mid-session. The asymmetric combination is frequently cited as the toy's most distinctive sensation.

Rinse it right after use

The easy cleaning relies on rinsing the open channel under running water right after use, before anything dries. Buyers who leave it unwashed say it takes more effort later.

Gush 2 vs. other Lovense male toys

Its closest Lovense alternative:

vs. Lovense Calor

Both cost $99. The Calor adds heating to a squeezable design with app-controlled vibration, and Lovense rates its battery at 55 to 130 minutes. The Gush 2 has no heating but oscillates, with an open fit, up to 110 minutes of battery and a 75-minute charge. Choose the Calor for a warm, realistic feel and the Gush 2 for oscillation and easier cleaning (4.9/5 from buyers).

Gush 2 vs. non-Lovense male masturbators

Two well-known alternatives from other brands:

Buyer experiences

Is the Gush 2 worth it in 2026?

At $99, the Gush 2 costs the same as the Max 2 and about half as much as the Solace Pro ($199). The question is whether oscillation is the sensation you want; if you're not sure, the Max 2's contractions have a wider following and make a safer first buy. Choose the Gush 2 if you want glans-focused stimulation, an open fit or the oscillation that keeps coming up in good reviews. It is also the easiest of the three to clean.

Long-distance couples often pair it with the Nora, so each partner has a toy in the same Lovense Remote session; it is one of the most discussed two-toy setups on the Lovense forums. At $198 for both, it isn't cheap, but it is more interactive than one toy at the same price.

Final verdict

The Gush 2 scores 7.3 on my grid. It improves on the original with a band that stays put, a longer battery and an oscillation mode that owners describe as a different sensation from vibration. The battery is still short, 77 to 110 minutes. Skip it if you want full-shaft stimulation or if you're uncircumcised, since the design suits circumcised anatomy best and feedback from uncircumcised users is mixed. For hands-free glans stimulation with reliable long-distance control, it is the Lovense option.

I started Pleasure Vibe Reviews after going long-distance with my partner — Sweden to Australia, 15,000km apart. Lovense became essential to our relationship, and I couldn't find reviews that actually answered the questions I had.
