LELO Hugo 2 Remote Prostate Massager Review: Twin-Motor Play
Editor's opinion
The LELO Hugo 2 Remote is a premium twin-motor prostate massager aimed at people who want prostate and perineum stimulation together, with a motion-sensing remote that lends itself to couples' play. It is a considered rather than a beginner buy, and the remote is a novelty some will love and others will barely use.
The Hugo 2 Remote is LELO's take on the prostate massager: a body designed to sit in place while two separate motors work on the prostate and the perineum at the same time. It is a rechargeable, remote-controlled device positioned firmly at the upper end of the market, and the design leans on LELO's usual Swedish finish and smooth silicone form.
What a buyer should weigh here is not whether it is well made, but whether the extras justify the outlay. The twin motors and the SenseMotion tilt remote are the headline features. For some people those are the whole point; for others, a simpler massager with the same anatomy might do everything they actually need.
The good and the bad
What works
- Two independent motors target the prostate and perineum at once
- Rechargeable, so no hunting for batteries mid-session
- Wireless SenseMotion remote makes handing over control to a partner easy
- Eight settings give real scope to move between steady and patterned vibration
- Press-and-hold lock stops the controls being triggered by accident
What to be aware of
- A considered, premium purchase rather than an entry-level toy
- The tilt remote is a feature you either use often or forget entirely
- Prostate massagers demand patience and preparation, not an impulse first buy
- Charge time and battery life mean planning sessions rather than reaching for it on a whim
Buy it if
Best for people who already enjoy prostate play and want the added dimension of a second motor on the perineum, and for couples who like the idea of one partner steering the experience with the remote.
Skip it if
If this would be your first prostate toy, something slimmer and simpler with a firm flared base is a gentler place to start. Those who dislike vibration or want purely manual, curved stimulation should look at a non-vibrating massager instead.
Design and materials
The Hugo 2 Remote follows the established prostate massager shape: an insertable curved tip with a broad base that stays outside the body, which is what keeps it safe to use and lets the base motor rest against the perineum. At 10.6 by 10.3 cm it is a compact, contained device rather than a long insertable, so the emphasis is on placement and vibration rather than size.
LELO's toys are silicone-bodied, which means only a water-based lubricant should be used. Silicone lubricant can degrade a silicone surface over time, so keep that off the shelf for this one. The upside of silicone is that it is body-safe, non-porous and easy to keep clean.
The twin motors and the remote
The genuinely distinctive part is the pairing of two motors, one in the tip aimed at the prostate and one in the base aimed at the perineum, working together across eight settings. That dual stimulation is the reason to choose this over a single-motor massager, and the eight patterns give room to find a combination that suits you.
The SenseMotion remote adds tilt control, so intensity changes as the remote is moved. It is a clever idea and a natural fit for couples, since one person can direct things for the other. Be realistic about it, though: motion control is the kind of feature people either build into their routine or ignore after the first few uses. The massager still works from its own buttons if the remote stays in the drawer.
Charging and everyday use
This is a rechargeable device, which is the sensible choice for a toy of this type. It needs a full two-hour charge before first use, and topping it up between sessions keeps it at full strength. The trade-off with any rechargeable toy is that it needs planning: a flat battery means waiting rather than swapping in a spare.
In practice, prostate play rewards preparation regardless of the toy. Plenty of water-based lubricant, an unhurried pace and a comfortable position all matter more than the number of settings. The press-and-hold unlock is a welcome touch that stops the controls being knocked accidentally.
How it compares
Against simpler prostate massagers, the Hugo 2 Remote's case rests on the second motor and the remote. If you want stimulation of the prostate and perineum together and like the idea of motion control, it earns its place. If you mainly want a well-shaped curved massager, a single-motor or non-vibrating model covers that for considerably less.
Within LELO's own range it sits above the standard Hugo, offering the stated 20% more power and the wireless remote. Whether that step up is worth it depends entirely on how much you value the remote, since the core shape and function are closely related.
Care and cleaning
As a non-porous silicone toy, the Hugo 2 Remote should be washed with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner before and after every use, paying attention to the join between tip and base. Let it dry fully before storing.
Because it is rechargeable and not designed to be opened, follow LELO's guidance on water exposure rather than assuming it can be fully submerged. Store it away from other silicone toys and out of direct sunlight to keep the surface in good condition.
The bottom line
The LELO Hugo 2 Remote is a well-made, thoughtfully shaped prostate massager whose twin motors and motion remote justify the step up for the right person. If you already know you enjoy prostate play and want that dual stimulation, or you want a toy a partner can control, it is a strong choice; if you are new to this or want something simple, start smaller and simpler and save your money.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Hugo 2 Remote suitable for beginners?
It is better suited to those who already have some experience with prostate play. Newcomers may find a slimmer, simpler massager with a firm flared base a more comfortable introduction before moving to a twin-motor device like this.
What lubricant should I use with it?
Use a water-based lubricant only. The silicone body can be degraded by silicone-based lubricant over time. Prostate play in particular benefits from applying plenty of lubricant and taking your time.
Do I have to use the remote?
No. The massager can be operated directly using the button on its body to turn it on and cycle through settings. The SenseMotion remote is an added way to control it, and is especially handy for couples, but it is optional.
How long does it take to charge?
It needs a full two-hour charge before first use. After that, topping it up between sessions keeps it running at full power. As a rechargeable toy it does need to be charged in advance rather than used on a whim.
Can it be used by couples?
Yes. The wireless remote lets one partner adjust the intensity and patterns for the other, which is one of the main reasons to choose this model over a simpler, button-only massager.
