Lelo F2S Masturbator Review

My Verdict
The F2S takes the lead and has become my new favorite toy! It does take a little more set up (connecting the app and getting lube) so I will still reach for the Hot Octopuss when I'm in a rush. However, it's so great for experimenting and exploring different sensations. I also like that being a 2-in-1 stroker and vibrator, it's versatile and you can have a lot of different experiences with it.

About The Lelo F2S
The Lelo F2S is an app-connected, open-ended masturbator that can be used as a static vibrator or stroker. It has a liquid silicone sleeve that's lined with a ripple patten and two powerful motors that pulse and vibrate along the length. Once connected to the app, you can control each motor separately, access 6 extra settings, play long-distance, and use the AI mode, which responds to how you move the toy. It also has a program for stamina training and practicing Kegels for those looking to improve their performance.

Personal Experience

If at First You Don’t Succeed…
The first time I tried the F2, it felt ok but I didn’t really enjoy it and it didn’t get me to the finish line. I think I had some kind of expectation of how it should feel based on using the Hot Octopuss. It was my favorite toy for a long time, and I was hoping for a similar experience. The tight squeeze of the F2 felt more intense but it made me feel a little numb. I also used it with my partner, which didn’t give me the time and space to work out how to use it in a way that felt good. I think this is a toy with a bit of a learning curve but it’s worth it!Try and Try Again!
The second time, I used it, I tried it by myself and hooked it up to the app. I played around with changing the individual settings and with the AI mode. This time, I enjoyed it much more and was able to cum. I really liked that in the AI mode, the toy responded to my movements with changing patterns. If I held the toy still, the pattern would stay the same, but when I moved it like a stroker, the toy increases the intensity. I tried doing Kegels while inside it and found that the toy could respond to my movements. I like that sensors also allow you to go from using it as a stroker to a vibrator and the toy automatically adjusts the vibrations, making it feel quite seamless as you don’t need to fiddle around with changing the settings manually. I also found that when using it without the app, putting pressure on the sleeve silicone changes the intensity of the stimulation, which felt really good and made it still feel responsive in some way. The first couple of times I used it, I had to work my way up to getting all the way through sleeve. I have since realised that I just needed to be a little more generous with the lube. The sleeve is quite tight and has more of an oval shape, which takes a bit of getting used to. I have even noticed that the ripples leave little ‘grill’ marks on my shaft. One last fun thing I discovered is that I can put my hand over the top of the sleeve and create a kind of suction effect for more intensity. It’s not the same as having a closed sleeve, but a little extra suction always feels good!Design

I think it has a great look! I like that it's discreet and looks more like a piece of tech than a sex toy. I prefer non-realistic designs when it comes to sex toys so this really ticks that box. I also like the simplicity of the colors and the design. Rather than being a flat cylinder, the sides are faceted which looks good and makes it easier to grip. The internal sleeve is oval shaped, which provides a nice grip. I like the open ended design as I like being able to see the action but have noticed I need to reapply lube because it dries out faster. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the needle style charging cable. I wish all sex toys would use the same style cable.
Ease of Use

I really like that it's not too heavy. It has just the right amount of weight to feel satisfying and move nicely without leading to a sore arm (I'm looking at you Kiiroo Keon). Controlling the F2S without the app is easy as there are only three buttons and it's the same set up as most sex toys — increase and decrease buttons and a power button that also scrolls through the 8 standard patterns. I found the app very easy to set up and the toy connects easily each time and is very responsive. The app itself has a lot of different settings you change, which allows for a lot of customisation but I find it can be a bit overwhelming. Usually I play around with all the settings for a bit then end up going back to the standard constant vibration pattern. That being said, you don't have to use all of the different settings to enjoy the toy and you can keep it simple by just sticking to changing the pattern. The AI mode is nice for that as I get to experience different settings without having to do too much. I do really like that you can come out of the app and do other things, like watching online content. In terms of actually using the sleeve, I recommend using a lot of lube.
Quality

The F2 feels like a premium sex toy. It is made of aluminium alloy, liquid silicone, and ABS plastic, which are all high quality materials. It feels solid without being too weighty. It feels sturdy and well-made. The sleeve material is quite different from any other masturbators that I've tried. It's made from liquid silicone, which is much higher quality than the usual TPE/TPR. It isn't porous like TPE/TPR and doesn't get sticky. It also isn't as soft or squishy and feels a little more stiff, which also makes the stimulation feel more intense. It also doesn't absorb body heat and warm up in the same way. It also has two powerful motors that feel quite rumbly. I like that it's not too loud in use. It's quieter than the Hot Octopuss and is even quieter once you are inserted. It feels weighty, which gives a sense of quality, without being too heavy in use. The only thing I get a little worried about is getting water in the charging port, which only has a small silicone cover.
Price

The LELO F2S is a quite expensive and probably out of a lot of people's price ranges. However, I also think the toy lives up to the price tag. There's something to be said about it being both a stroker and vibrator and it actually does both really well. Also, compared to other toys I have, the F2S feels like a higher quality product — it feels sturdy, it's quiet, and it's compact. It's also better for travelling. I think it does have a lot of the qualities you would look for in a quality sex toy. It also has a luxurious design that makes it really feel like a premium products. For the price, and considering it already has an app/interactive abilities, I wish it could also sync to online content, though.
Performance

I think the F2S has a great range of vibrations. The two motors have enough power for my tastes, and I like that you can control them separately to stimulate different areas. In terms of sensation and versatility, this has become my new favorite toy. However, if you come into the experience expecting the more realistic feel of a stroker, you will be surprised and maybe disappointed. However, if you are open to a new kind of experience, it can be very enjoyable. It's definitely more of a massager than a stroker. I really like the ripples and think the more simple wave pattern feels great. The silicone makes the ripples feel more pronounced in a way I don't get with TPE as the texture usually disappears into the softness of it. The battery life is 2 hours, which is pretty decent. It's holding up well and hasn't run out on me yet and I do like some pretty long sessions.
Packaging

I like the design of the packaging. It's nice that you can see the stroker through the window in the front. It has a minimalistic design that isn't overtly sexual. It feels more high-end and discreet. It didn't come with a manual — just a QR code to find the manual online. I don't tend to read the instructions so this wasn't such an issue.
Materials and care

The clean up is quite easy with the F2 as it's waterproof and you can flush water straight through it. The ripples are a little tricky to clean so they need a little extra attention. As I mentioned before, I am a little concerned about getting water in the charging port but I make sure to close the flap and there hasn't been any issue. As the sleeve is silicone, you can only use a water-based lube and I have found I need quite a lot to make it feel good. It doesn't come with a storage bag, which is a shame as little bits of dust can get in the sleeve but it doesn't attract dust in the same way other silicone toys do though.
Special feature

The App Dashboard
The app is designed to look like the dashboard of a F1 car, hence the name. It’s all speedometers, gears, and motors. I think it’s quite fun but not a big draw for me. I spend very little of my life thinking about cars. There’s a lot to discover in the app and it felt a bit overwhelming. There’s a lot to understand, as there are two different motors, each with it’s own settings, so it takes some time to figure out. If you are a gear head or tech lover, this could be really fun, but it if you want something simple, this might be too much. Having used it a few more times, I feel like it’s getting easier and I enjoy playing around with the controls, but I also enjoy just having it on AI mode, which adjust the vibration in relation to how I move the toy or the basic constant vibration pattern.Stamina Training Program
In the app you can choose training program, which takes you through programs aimed at increasing how long you can last. I have to say, I don’t think this is aimed at me, as I don’t struggle with lasting for a long time. I actually have delayed ejaculation, so it can take me a very long time to climax. I tried this feature just to try it out, but I won! I can see this being fun/useful for someone who wants to explore stamina training though.Kegel Training Program
In the app there’s also a 4 step Kegel training program. It starts with a guided breathing exercise, and then moves on to guided Kegel exercises targeting different pelvic floor movements (long hold and pulse) and then finishes with a warm down. I like that you can turn of the voice and instead be guided by vibrations in the phone as the voice is a little grating. It also has an option to track your progress. While it doesn’t seem to be connected to the toy in any way, I like that it brings awareness to the importance of Kegels for men because it’s a step in the right direction towards more sexual wellness. I’ve learned that Kegels are important for pleasure and can even help stimulate the prostate when using anal toys. As someone who already does Kegels, I found this a little boring, but for anyone who hasn’t done them before, which I think is the case for many men, it’s a nice introduction.Specifications and features
