The Edge 2 from Lovense has just been released in January 2021, and we couldn’t help but give our opinion on this very special sex toy for men. And test it thoroughly
If you’ve been following us for a while, you know that toys are close to our hearts. Connected sex toys are THE thing that allowed us to maintain a relationship at a distance. Sex and bonding time are important in any relationship, and having remote control toys helps a lot.
We had the chance to test the new prostate stimulator created by Lovense , who sent us a copy for you to discover. A brand that we already loved for the undeniable quality of its toys for women… but what about its toys for men?
Here is our opinion after a (very) thorough test of the Edge 2.
( Note: the writing of this article is not remunerated by Lovense, our opinion is therefore 100% honest, and we will address the qualities of the Edge as well as its faults )
Lovense Edge 2, Best remote controllable prostate massager? Test and Reviews
Introduction – Prostate stimulator: what is it? For who ?
It is a connected anal sex toy, exclusively for men , ideal for people in a long distance relationship, but not only.
The Edge 2 is a far from common model, to tell the truth: the prostate stimulator aims to provide you with much stronger sensations than a vibrating plug, while tickling your perineum . And he does it wonderfully.
We’re not going to lie to each other: as we’re talking about anal, it’s not going to please everyone. Gentlemen, if you have not yet discovered the joys of the prostate, you will either have to turn around… or let yourself be guided and tested. Because the Edge 2 is a great introduction to it( )
For the less adventurous, there are of course connected masturbators that can satisfy you differently, such as the Max 2… But the prostate massager brings a little variety.
And as much to tell you that in a long-distance relationship, having variety in bed is a great accomplishment.
And above all, the big advantage of this sex toy for men is that it is connected… and great for playing with his/her partner.
The Lovense Edge 2 is remotely controllable,small or large, from a mobile application. In other words, your partner can control the vibrations of your toy from halfway around the world…or from across the room.
So let’s get down to business. With dates please.
No impatience: the test comes right after!
Technical characteristics of the Edge 2 from Lovense
Here are, in my opinion, the most interesting features of this prostate massager:
- An adjustable angle, to adjust it according to your own morphology
- Two very powerful motors (one for the perineum, the other for the prostate)
- Compatible with the Lovense app
- Designed for public play, and therefore quite quiet once placed
- Waterproof: it can be immersed in water (IPX7 standard)
What are the differences between the Edge 2 and the first version of the Edge created by Lovense?
It’s simple: it has been redesigned to be the same… only better!
- This second version is better adapted to the body, and more stable
- Battery is better (up to 100 minutes of continuous use)
- The supplied magnetic charger is more practical than that of its predecessor
Let’s get to the numbers
The Edge 2 weighs 151.3 grams (and, we’ll come back to this, that surprised me!)
The insertable head measures 3.5 cm in diameter, for 9.1 cm in height.
It needs to charge for a hundred minutes to be 100% charged.
If it’s on but idle, Lovense claims the Edge 2 can stay on for up to 150 hours. It’s huge, yes. But you guessed it: it’s not when it’s inactive that it’s fun
When active, the charge will last between 1 hour and 1 hour and 40 minutes of use (depending on the power of vibrations you use). Honestly, it’s quite substantial: I’ve never had a charging problem, even after having tested it well!
Last interesting figure: when connected via Bluetooth, this model can be controlled up to 3 meters away when seated, and up to 6 meters away when standing.
First impressions of the Lovense Edge 2: our opinion
[Video] Our unboxing of this Lovense sex toy
Delivery and appearance of the package
First of all, first observation: the package is very discreet.
The Edge 2 was delivered in a very classic package, which did not at all suggest that it came from an adult toy brand. Neither the sender’s name nor the package itself is suspect. Not that we were expecting to read “Lovense sextoys” in big fuchsia pink letters, but it’s nice to see that confidentiality is so respected!
The delivery itself only took a few days to France, which is remarkable in the Covid period where delivery times are often affected.
Note: We shipped directly from Lovense, not a 3rd party supplier. If you choose an unofficial supplier, the appearance of the package will be different.
Packaging design: flawless!
Before even opening the box of the new prostate massager, it is clear that one thing jumps out at us: the design of the packaging.
The boxes of Lovense sex toys are refined, classy, and it feels like dealing with a luxury product. In addition to being very elegant, this box can be used to store your toy to protect it from dust.
This pretty packaging also includes a practical little pouch to store your Edge 2, the user manual, and a charger included.
Unboxing the Edge 2: my hot opinion on this prostate massager
At first glance, one thing strikes me: the toy is rather imposing.
Even though the size is reasonable, for a beginner it is impressive. And I must admit that I am still rather new to this. In any case, there is clearly a need for preparation before trying it. But that’s normal.
The Edge 2 is also heavier than I expected : it feels good in the hand at the top of its 150 grams.
I take it in my palm, sub-weigh it, look at it from all angles, and wonder if, in practice, “it will fit”. The formulation is not glamorous, but you understood me.
On the quality side, only positive : the Edge 2 from Lovense is made of soft silicone, and everything in the design shows that it is of very good quality, down to the finishes.
I still notice quite quickly that it easily catches small dust, it’s the silicone that wants that. It is therefore important to store it in its pouch to preserve it, or to clean it before use. (and after but hey, that’s obvious)
Full Edge 2 test: Opinion after several uses
What sensations does the Lovense prostate stimulator bring?
This prostate massager is effective, powerful, and easy to use. ( And in the end, yes, even if it is impressive, it fits )
Lovense has equipped the Edge 2 with two very powerful motors. One aims to stimulate the perineum with vibrations, the other stimulates the prostate. It’s nice, the presence of the engine on the outside is a real asset, even if you clearly feel it less in terms of feeling than the internal engine.
The little +: the insertable part moves when it vibrates, which increases the sensations tenfold.
But to be even more in control of your desire, the Edge 2 offers another great asset: the possibility of adjusting the angle of its “insertable branch”. At first, I was afraid to adjust it for fear of damaging it. In fact, it’s very easy.
Over the tests, the more I learned to adjust the angle of the toy to suit my body, the more I enjoyed it. My opinion on the Edge 2 has gone from “very good” to “excellent” since I made this discovery, the sensations are really there!
Edge 2 portability and ease of use
The Edge 2’s button is well placed: there is no risk of activating it unintentionally, and it is easy to access. Autonomy level is sufficient. The app shows the battery charge level.
There is really no discomfort when wearing it. Once placed, the prostate stimulator remains in place and is not likely to come off on its own.
( To be 100% honest in this test, the only two times it pulled out on its own were excitement-related and there was nothing to hold it back. Nothing to report otherwise! )
It is possible to use it seated, standing, lying down… without any problem. And even in the water, but we come back to this point just below.
The small point to keep in mind: you must use a water-based lubricant so as not to damage the toy. I hadn’t thought of getting some, but in the long run it could affect the material of the toy.
Using the Edge 2 in Water
Like many Lovense toys, this connected sex toy for men is waterproof (= water resistant). This allows him to explore new terrain and vary the experiences.
Level sensations, I find that there is no big difference under water, neither in good nor in bad level felt.
Small frustration all the same: the Edge 2 struggles to connect via Bluetooth when it is immersed in water. It must therefore be controlled with the button, and not remotely!
Edge 2 Public Play and Noise Reviews
We come to a point that was very important to me: is this toy silent?
Honestly, considering how much the Edge 2 hums when you take it out of its box, I was super skeptical . Wrongly, I admit.
When worn, it really makes virtually no noise at low vibration levels. Like other toys, this prostate massager is designed to be used discreetly, but at least it does it well!
When you wear it, you can feel it, but it doesn’t limit your movements and it’s not unpleasant. After testing, I can say that the Edge 2 is not visible under clothing, and is not suspect.
For the most intense levels of vibrations, on the other hand, the decibels go up a little… but this discreet sex toy for men could perfectly be used in a noisy environment, like in the cinema, or in a congested street.
Only small drawback: sometimes the Bluetooth connection is quite unstable (in a seated position in particular) even if you are only a few meters from the toy.
Lovense + Edge 2 app: The winning combo
Well, as much to tell you directly: yes, this application is free. And in my opinion, a lot of the interest of Lovense toys comes from this excellent app, and the possibilities it brings. You don’t have a smartphone? So I do not recommend that you choose a connected toy. It’s that simple.
Application and remote control: how does it work?
The concept: thanks to Bluetooth, any sex toy from this brand can connect to a smartphone equipped with the Lovense Remote application. Once linked to the telephone, it can thus be controlled remotely, over several meters (2 to 3 in a seated position, or 6 in a standing position).
But this prostate stimulator can also be controlled from the other side of the world by someone else, despite a long distance… for that, it will just be necessary that you both have access to the Internet on your mobile phones, and that each of you owns the application.
This game mode is great, especially for people in long-distance relationships who want to regain (or spice up) their sex life.
Best features of this app for the Edge 2
The real + of this prostate massager is that there are 2 motors that work independently. Sensation level is great, and above all, there are more possibilities via the application.
Already, you can control the vibration level of each engine yourself (each with its own settings). Put them very strong or not, one or two motors at a time, create “loops” (= a vibration pattern of your choice which is repeated in a loop)… your toy is controlled in real time according to your desires.
My favorite feature:
Hundreds of “vibration patterns”, created by the community of Lovense Remote users.
Some models have been specially designed for the Edge (among the most popular and effective examples: I recommend “edge challenge 1.5”).
The application offers other functions: synchronization with music, alarm clock…But the models are, in my opinion, the biggest highlight
Weak point of the application: to activate Bluetooth, you must activate geolocation (it’s not really annoying, but there you go)
Edge 2 remote control: Best connected sex toy for men?
Long distance control (= miles apart)
The interface for long distance control is very instinctive. Both must install the “Lovense Remote” application and be connected to the Internet. Add your partner, connect your own toy via Bluetooth to your phone, and the other can take control!
A video call system is integrated into the app:so you can see your partner while vibrating
Note: You don’t both need to have a connected sex toy to take control of the other’s.
Short distance control (= a few meters from each other)
We’re not going to lie to each other: the short-distance game (= a few meters from his darling) is particularly nice, in my opinion even more so than with a long distance.
If you are a couple from a distance, during your reunion, you will enjoy playing with it, even as a prelis or during the act.
I found it very funny to have fun with my girlfriend in the same room who also has a toy, it allows a new type of exchange. Seeing the reactions of the other, letting go… It’s an experience in its own right
It was a nice surprise! And my girlfriend loved being able to control it too…

Conclusion and rating given to the Edge 2
Very powerful (too?), fun to use for two, quiet, we feel that the brand has come a long way before achieving a toy of such quality
Edge 2 score: 4.7/5
This ultra-powerful toy is perfect in many ways, stays in place, and the remote control is great. Only the loss of Bluetooth connection is sometimes frustrating. This excellent sex toy from Lovense is undoubtedly the best connected prostate stimulator on the market in 2021. Will it be dethroned?
Connected sex toys for men are too rare. I am more than delighted that Lovense is initiating this movement, in the same vein as the superb Hush (vibrating connected anal plug) and the first Edge which has benefited from this update.
It is, I think, an interesting first prostate massager experience, for those who have never tested it. And for more experienced men who have already tried an anal sex toy, I can only highly recommend!
What a great gift for your boyfriend, or yourself (because yes, even solo, Bluetooth control from your laptop is not bad too hehe, even in public)
Thanks again to Lovense for allowing us to review this great product. We can’t wait to see the next innovations that the brand will make in terms of male or female pleasure.
For my part, I loved testing the Edge 2…and even after publishing this review, I intend to retest it and re-test it again for my personal pleasure. After all, you can never experience enough
And you, what did you think of this test sheet? Leave your opinion in the comments, we would be delighted to have your feedback!
