XtoysLELO Surfer 2 Vibrating Anal Plug Review: App-Controlled Play
Editor's opinion
The LELO Surfer 2 is a well-made, medium-sized vibrating anal plug that suits a broad range of experience levels and adds app-controlled play for solo or partner use. It is a sensible middle-ground choice, though half its features live in the app and the 20-minute auto-off will interrupt longer sessions.
The LELO Surfer 2 sets out to be an all-rounder: a vibrating anal plug pitched at any body, comfortable enough for newcomers yet varied enough to keep more experienced users interested. It leans on LELO's usual strengths of clean design, rechargeable power and a companion app.
What a buyer should weigh is whether the app-based features matter to them, whether the medium size fits their experience, and whether small quirks like the automatic shut-off will get in the way of how they actually want to use it.
The good and the bad
What works
- Rechargeable over USB, so no battery hunting
- Medium, tapered shape suits a wide range of experience levels
- Fully waterproof for bath, shower and easy rinsing
- Four manual modes plus app control for hands-free or remote play
- LELO build quality and a body-safe silicone finish
What to be aware of
- Two of the six settings and all eight intensities are locked behind the app
- Automatic 20-minute shut-off interrupts longer sessions
- Around two hours of use per two-hour charge is modest
- Medium size may feel small to those who prefer more fullness
Buy it if
Someone who wants a versatile, good-quality vibrating plug that works whether they are new to this or fairly experienced, and who likes the idea of app-controlled or partner-steered play.
Skip it if
Those who want a straightforward device with all its functions on the body should look at a simpler button-controlled plug, and anyone chasing significant girth or fullness will want a larger size.
Design And Materials
The Surfer 2 has an ergonomic, tapered shape intended to work for any body, with a smooth silicone body typical of LELO. The insertable length of 7.7 cm and a widest point within a 3.4 cm overall dimension place it firmly in medium territory rather than beginner-tiny or advanced-large.
Because the body is silicone, stick to a water-based lubricant. Silicone lubricants can degrade silicone toys over time, and a plug of this kind needs generous lubrication for comfortable insertion regardless.
Settings And App Control
Four vibration modes are controlled by hand, covering everyday use from gentle to firmer pulses. The remaining two modes and eight adjustable intensities are only available through the LELO Love Bridge app, which enables hands-free and remote control, handy for partner play at a distance.
This split is worth understanding before buying. If you never intend to install the app, you are effectively choosing a four-mode plug. The app also introduces the usual considerations of pairing, phone battery and the occasional connection drop that come with any app-driven toy.
Charging, Waterproofing And Care
Charging is over USB, giving up to two hours of use from a roughly two-hour charge. That is workable but not generous, so charging before a planned session is wise. The auto shut-off every 20 minutes is a safety and battery feature, but it means longer sessions require reaching for the controls to restart it.
Being fully waterproof, the Surfer 2 can be used in the bath or shower and is straightforward to clean. Wash with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner, dry thoroughly, and store somewhere clean. As with any anal toy, a flared or broad base is essential for safe retrieval, and this design keeps a portion external for that reason.
How It Compares
Against plain, non-vibrating plugs, the Surfer 2 justifies its price with motorised stimulation and app connectivity. Against basic battery vibrating plugs, the rechargeable power and waterproofing are clear advantages, and the build quality reflects the brand.
Where buyers might hesitate is the reliance on the app for half the experience, and the modest run time. Simpler rechargeable plugs put every function on the body itself, which some people prefer for reliability and ease in the moment.
The bottom line
The LELO Surfer 2 is an easy plug to recommend for anyone wanting a versatile, well-built and waterproof vibrating plug in an approachable medium size. Just go in knowing that the app carries a real share of the features and the auto shut-off and run time are its practical limits.
Frequently asked questions
Is the LELO Surfer 2 suitable for beginners?
Its medium size and tapered, ergonomic shape make it approachable, but it is not the smallest option available. Complete beginners who feel unsure may prefer to start with a slimmer plug and use plenty of water-based lubricant with either.
Do I need the app to use it?
No. Four vibration modes work directly from the device. However, the two additional modes and eight adjustable intensities are only available through the LELO Love Bridge app, so without it you are using a smaller portion of its capabilities.
What lubricant should I use?
Use a water-based lubricant. The silicone body can be degraded by silicone-based lubricants over time, and anal use in particular benefits from applying lubricant generously.
Can it be used in the bath or shower?
Yes. The Surfer 2 is fully waterproof, so it can be used in water and rinsed clean afterwards. Wash with warm water and a suitable toy cleaner, then dry before storing.
Why does it turn off during use?
The device has a built-in feature that automatically shuts down roughly every 20 minutes. For longer sessions you will simply need to switch it back on, which is worth remembering before you begin.
