Lovense Hush Review: Everything You Need to Know About Remote Butt Plugs

Why Hush Stands Out

In the world of app-controlled anal toys, Lovense Hush has become the default choice. It's not the only option—there are competitors—but it's the one you see everywhere. Cam performers use it. Long-distance couples swear by it. People exploring anal play for the first time often start here.

What makes Hush special isn't any single feature. It's the combination: reliable connectivity, powerful vibrations, comfortable design, long battery life, and the backing of Lovense's mature app ecosystem. Other toys might excel in one area, but Hush delivers consistently across the board.

The current version, Hush 2, improved on the original with better Bluetooth connectivity, a stronger motor, and a more comfortable shape. If you're considering an app-controlled butt plug, Hush 2 is the benchmark against which everything else is measured.

Hush 2 Specifications

Let's get into the details of what you're actually buying.

Size Options

Hush 2 comes in two sizes:

Small (1 inch / 25mm diameter)

Insertable length: 3.5 inches (87mm)
Total length: 4.5 inches (115mm)
Best for: Beginners, those who prefer smaller toys, extended wear

Large (1.75 inches / 44mm diameter)

Insertable length: 4 inches (100mm)
Total length: 5 inches (130mm)
Best for: Experienced users, those who prefer more fullness, intense stimulation

The size difference is significant. If you're new to anal play or unsure, start with the small. You can always get the large later if you want more. Going too big too fast is a common mistake that leads to discomfort and abandoned toys.

Battery and Charging

Battery life: Up to 5 hours of continuous use (varies with intensity)
Charge time: Approximately 90 minutes
Charging method: Magnetic USB cable (included)
Standby time: Up to 120 hours

Five hours is genuinely impressive for a toy this size. You can wear it for extended sessions without worrying about it dying at an inconvenient moment. The magnetic charging is convenient—just snap the cable onto the base and it charges.

Waterproof Rating

Hush 2 is rated IPX7, which means it can be submerged in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. In practical terms: you can clean it thoroughly under running water, use it in the shower, and not worry about moisture damage. Don't take it swimming, but normal water exposure is fine.

Material

The body is made of body-safe silicone—non-porous, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean. The base contains the motor and electronics and is ABS plastic coated in silicone. The entire surface that contacts your body is silicone.

Silicone is the gold standard for insertable toys. It doesn't harbor bacteria, doesn't degrade over time, and feels smooth and comfortable. Just remember: use water-based lubricant only. Silicone-based lube can damage silicone toys.

Motor and Vibration

The motor is where Hush 2 really improved over the original. It's powerful—surprisingly so for a toy this size. The vibrations are more "rumbly" than "buzzy," which most people prefer for anal stimulation. You feel it deep rather than just on the surface.

Intensity is adjustable through the app, from barely perceptible to "holy shit that's intense." The range means you can find exactly the level that works for you, whether that's gentle background stimulation or overwhelming intensity.

Who Is Hush For?

Hush appeals to a wide range of users. Here's who might benefit most.

Beginners to Anal Play

If you're curious about anal stimulation but haven't explored much, Hush (especially the small size) is a reasonable starting point. The tapered tip makes insertion easier, the flared base ensures safety, and the vibration adds stimulation that can help you relax and enjoy the experience.

That said, if you've never used any anal toy, you might want to start with something even simpler—a basic, non-vibrating plug—just to get comfortable with the sensation of anal insertion. Hush is beginner-friendly, but it's not necessarily the absolute first step.

Experienced Users Wanting Connectivity

If you already enjoy anal play and want to add app control, remote capabilities, or cam show integration, Hush is the obvious choice. The connectivity features are mature and reliable, and the toy itself is high quality.

Long-Distance Couples

Hush shines for couples separated by distance. One partner wears the toy; the other controls it from anywhere in the world. The real-time control creates a sense of connection and shared experience that helps maintain intimacy across miles.

Public Play Enthusiasts

The fantasy of wearing a vibrating toy in public, controlled by a partner (or even yourself), is common. Hush is designed with this in mind. It's relatively quiet, comfortable for extended wear, and the app control means no fumbling with physical buttons.

We'll talk more about public play considerations later, but Hush is one of the better options if this interests you.

Cam Performers

Hush is extremely popular among cam performers. It integrates with major cam sites, responds to tips, and creates visible reactions that viewers enjoy. If you're performing and want to add anal stimulation to your interactive setup, Hush is the standard choice.

Anyone Curious About Prostate Stimulation

For people with prostates, anal toys can provide prostate stimulation—often described as intensely pleasurable. Hush isn't specifically designed as a prostate massager (Lovense Edge 2 is), but the vibration and fullness can still stimulate the prostate indirectly. Many prostate owners enjoy Hush for this reason.

How to Use Hush Safely

Anal play requires more care than some other forms of stimulation. Here's how to use Hush safely.

Always Use Lubricant

This is non-negotiable. The anus doesn't self-lubricate like the vagina does. Without lubricant, insertion is uncomfortable at best and can cause micro-tears at worst.

Use water-based lubricant with Hush. Silicone-based lubes can degrade silicone toys over time. Apply generously to both the toy and yourself. Reapply if things start feeling dry.

Good anal lubricants are thicker than regular lubes and stay in place better. Look for products specifically marketed for anal use—they're formulated to last longer and provide more cushion.

Start Slow and Relaxed

The anal sphincter is a muscle that needs to relax to allow comfortable insertion. If you're tense, it tightens, making insertion difficult or painful.

Take your time. Start with external stimulation—massage around the area, let yourself get comfortable. When you're ready, apply lube and begin insertion slowly. The tapered tip of Hush helps, but don't rush. Let your body adjust at each stage.

If it hurts, stop. Pain is your body telling you something is wrong. Back off, add more lube, relax more, and try again. Or try another time when you're more relaxed.

The Flared Base Is Essential

Hush has a flared base for a critical reason: the rectum doesn't have a natural stopping point like the vagina does. Without a flared base, toys can get pulled inside and become difficult or impossible to remove without medical intervention.

Never use a toy anally that doesn't have a flared base or retrieval mechanism. This isn't optional safety advice—it's essential. The flared base on Hush is designed to stay outside your body and prevent the toy from going too far.

Cleaning Before and After

Clean Hush before and after every use. Warm water and mild soap work fine, or use a dedicated toy cleaner. The IPX7 rating means you can rinse it thoroughly.

Pay attention to the area where the base meets the body—residue can accumulate there. Make sure the toy is completely dry before storing.

For extra sanitation, especially if sharing the toy between partners, you can use a 10% bleach solution (rinse thoroughly afterward) or boil the silicone portion briefly. Check Lovense's care instructions for specific guidance.

Listen to Your Body

Everyone's body is different. What's comfortable for one person might not work for another. Pay attention to how you feel during and after use.

Some soreness after extended use or intense vibration is normal. Sharp pain, bleeding, or persistent discomfort is not. If you experience these, stop using the toy and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist.

When to Stop

Stop immediately if you experience:

Sharp or sudden pain
Bleeding
Feeling like you need to use the bathroom urgently
Any sensation that feels wrong

It's better to end a session early than to push through discomfort and cause injury. There's always next time.

App Features and Control

The Lovense Remote app is where Hush's connectivity features live.

Setting Up

Download Lovense Remote from your app store (iOS or Android)
Create an account (or use without an account for basic features)
Turn on Hush by holding the power button
In the app, tap the + to add a new toy
Select Hush from the list and follow pairing instructions

Pairing usually takes seconds. If it doesn't connect, make sure Bluetooth is enabled and the toy is in pairing mode (indicated by a flashing light).

Basic Controls

Once connected, you'll see a control interface with:

An intensity slider (drag up for stronger, down for weaker)
Preset patterns (pulse, wave, fireworks, etc.)
A stop button

The interface is intuitive. Experiment with different intensities and patterns to find what you enjoy.

Creating Custom Patterns

The app lets you create custom vibration patterns. You draw the pattern with your finger—peaks for intense vibration, valleys for gentle or none. Save patterns you like and access them anytime.

Some people spend significant time crafting perfect patterns. Others stick with presets. Both approaches are valid.

Partner Control

To let a partner control your Hush:

Both people need the Lovense Remote app
Add each other as friends (via username or QR code)
Start a "Long Distance" session
Grant control permission

Your partner then sees the same control interface and can adjust your toy in real-time. You can revoke control at any time.

Sound-Activated Mode

The app can use your phone's microphone to control vibration based on ambient sound. Loud sounds = stronger vibration. It's fun for music, parties, or creative scenarios.

Music Sync

Connect to music playing on your phone and the toy vibrates in sync with the beat. Works better with some genres than others—electronic music with clear beats translates well.

Hush for Couples

Hush really shines when used with a partner, whether you're in the same room or across the world.

Giving Control to Your Partner

There's something uniquely intimate about giving someone else control of your pleasure. They can tease you, surprise you, reward you, or edge you—all through the app. The power dynamic this creates can be exciting for both partners.

Discuss boundaries beforehand. When is activation okay? Are there intensity limits? What's the signal to stop? Clear communication makes the experience better for everyone.

Long-Distance Play

For couples separated by distance, Hush maintains a physical connection that video calls alone can't provide. Your partner isn't just watching you—they're affecting what you feel. That tangible connection helps bridge the gap of physical separation.

Combine Hush with video chat for the full experience. See your partner's reactions while they control your toy, or vice versa. The combination of visual and physical connection is powerful.

Wearing During Other Activities

Hush can be worn during other sexual activities—oral sex, penetrative sex, masturbation. The added stimulation can intensify the experience. For people with prostates, wearing Hush during other stimulation can lead to more intense orgasms.

Experiment with what combinations work for you. Some people love the added sensation; others find it distracting. There's no wrong answer.

Communication and Boundaries

As with any sexual activity, communication is essential. Talk about:

Comfort levels with different intensities
Signals for "more," "less," and "stop"
Scenarios where the toy is off-limits
How to handle technical issues gracefully

The more you communicate, the better the experience for both partners.

Public Play Considerations

The fantasy of wearing a vibrating toy in public is common. Here's what you should know if you're considering it with Hush.

Is It Actually Discreet?

Hush is relatively quiet, but not silent. At low intensities, it's unlikely anyone would hear it in a noisy environment. At high intensities, someone standing close might notice a faint buzz.

The bigger discretion factor is your reaction. If the toy activates unexpectedly and you visibly react, that's more noticeable than any sound the toy makes.

Noise Levels

At low settings: barely audible, unlikely to be noticed At medium settings: audible in quiet environments, probably fine in noisy ones At high settings: noticeable buzz, might draw attention in quiet spaces

If discretion is important, keep intensity low in public and save the high settings for private moments.

Battery Management

Nothing ruins public play like a dead battery. Charge fully before going out. The 5-hour battery life gives plenty of buffer, but don't start with a half-charged toy.

Safety and Consent

Public play involves some ethical considerations. The people around you haven't consented to being part of your sexual activity. Keep reactions subtle, don't do anything that would be obviously sexual in public, and be mindful of your environment.

Also consider: what happens if something goes wrong? If you need to remove the toy urgently, do you have privacy to do so? Have a plan.

Starting Small

If you're new to public play, start with low-stakes situations. Wear the toy at home while doing non-sexual activities to get used to the sensation. Then try a quick errand. Build up gradually rather than jumping straight to a crowded event.

Hush vs Other Remote Butt Plugs

Hush isn't the only option. Here's how it compares to alternatives.

We-Vibe Ditto

We-Vibe's entry in this category. Similar concept—app-controlled vibrating butt plug. The Ditto is slightly smaller than Hush Small, making it potentially better for true beginners. We-Vibe's app is solid, though some prefer Lovense's interface.

Hush advantages: More powerful motor, longer battery life, better cam site integration Ditto advantages: Smaller size option, some prefer We-Vibe's app

b-Vibe Snug Plug

b-Vibe makes quality anal toys, and their Snug Plug line is well-regarded. However, they're not app-controlled in the same way—they use remote controls rather than smartphone apps. If you don't need app connectivity, they're worth considering. If you want long-distance control, Hush is the better choice.

Lovense Edge 2

Edge 2 is Lovense's prostate massager, not a traditional butt plug. It has an adjustable arm designed to target the prostate specifically. If prostate stimulation is your primary goal, Edge 2 is purpose-built for it. If you want a plug for general anal stimulation and fullness, Hush is more versatile.

Price Comparison

Hush 2 typically runs $80-120 depending on size and sales. This is mid-range for quality app-controlled toys. Cheaper options exist but often have connectivity issues or weaker motors. More expensive options exist but don't necessarily offer proportionally better experiences.

Feature Comparison

| Feature | Hush 2 | We-Vibe Ditto | b-Vibe Snug | Edge 2 | |---------|--------|---------------|-------------|--------| | App Control | Yes | Yes | Remote only | Yes | | Long Distance | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | | Cam Integration | Excellent | Limited | No | Excellent | | Battery Life | 5 hours | 2 hours | N/A | 2 hours | | Sizes | 2 | 1 | 4 | 1 | | Prostate Focus | No | No | No | Yes |

Common Questions

Can it get stuck?

No, if you're using it correctly. The flared base is specifically designed to prevent the toy from going too far inside. As long as the base stays outside your body, the toy cannot get stuck.

If you somehow manage to get it past the flared base (which would require deliberate effort), you'd need medical attention. But in normal use, this isn't a concern.

Is it comfortable for extended wear?

For most people, yes—especially the small size. The shape is designed for comfort, and many users wear Hush for hours at a time. That said, everyone's body is different. Some people find extended wear comfortable; others prefer shorter sessions.

Start with shorter periods and work up to longer wear as you learn what's comfortable for you.

How loud is it?

Quiet enough for most situations at low-to-medium intensity. At maximum intensity, there's a noticeable buzz that might be audible in quiet environments. For public play, keep it at lower settings.

Does it work through walls?

Bluetooth range is about 30 feet without obstacles, less with walls. For same-room use, it's fine. For different rooms in a house, it depends on the layout. For long-distance use, the internet connection handles the distance—Bluetooth only needs to reach your phone.

What's the warranty?

Lovense offers a one-year warranty on Hush 2. Keep your receipt and register the product on their website. If it fails within the warranty period, they'll replace it.

Can I use it in water?

The IPX7 rating means it's safe for shower use and thorough cleaning under water. Don't submerge it for extended periods or take it swimming, but normal water exposure is fine.

Tips for First-Time Users

If Hush will be your first app-controlled anal toy, here are some tips for a good experience.

Relax and Take Your Time

Rushing leads to discomfort. Set aside time when you won't be interrupted. Create a relaxed environment. Don't pressure yourself to achieve anything specific—just explore.

Use Plenty of Lube

More than you think you need. Then add more. Seriously. Lube makes everything better and safer.

Try It Solo First

Before involving a partner or using it in complex scenarios, get comfortable with the toy on your own. Learn how it feels, what intensities you enjoy, and how your body responds.

Explore the App Before Inserting

Familiarize yourself with the app controls before the toy is inside you. You don't want to be fumbling with settings while trying to enjoy the experience.

Have Realistic Expectations

Your first time might be amazing, or it might be awkward, or it might be somewhere in between. All of those are normal. Don't expect fireworks immediately—give yourself time to learn what works for you.

Clean Up Is Part of the Process

Have cleaning supplies ready. Warm water and soap, or toy cleaner. Clean the toy promptly after use. It's not the most glamorous part, but it's essential for hygiene and toy longevity.

Conclusion

Lovense Hush 2 has earned its reputation as the go-to app-controlled butt plug. It's well-designed, reliably connected, powerful enough for intense stimulation, and comfortable enough for extended wear. Whether you're exploring anal play for the first time, maintaining intimacy in a long-distance relationship, or adding interactivity to cam shows, Hush delivers.

Is it perfect? No toy is. Some people prefer different shapes, sizes, or features. But as an all-around choice that works well for most people in most situations, Hush is hard to beat.

If you're considering an app-controlled anal toy, Hush 2 is the safe choice—not because it's boring, but because it's proven. It does what it promises, reliably, and that's exactly what you want from a toy you're putting inside your body.

Start with the size that matches your experience level, use plenty of lube, communicate with partners, and enjoy exploring what Hush can do.

Always prioritize safety with anal play. Use appropriate lubricant, never use toys without flared bases, and listen to your body. If you experience pain or discomfort, stop and consult a healthcare provider if needed.
