For people with prostates, the Lovense Edge 2 is engineered to push you to the edge and beyond! Our sex toy and pleasure tech expert, Tim Larson, is here to explain how to get the most out of this prostate massager.
Key Takeaways
There’s a lot to learn and a lot to love about the Lovense Edge 2, but for starters:
- Water-based lube is always a great addition when you have a date with your favorite sex toy, but it’s essential for prostate play.
- The Lovense Remote app lets you control the vibrations from your smartphone, which is definitely more convenient when your toy — and its control panel — is knocking at your back door.
How to Use Lovense Edge 2
People who are able to achieve a prostate orgasm report that it is incredibly intense, and if there is an audience, they tend to enjoy watching a hands-free ejaculation. Read on to learn more about this toy, what it can do for you, and how to make the most of it. You can also read our guide to exploring anal toys!
Preparation: Wash your hands, your body, and your Lovense Edge 2 with warm water and gentle fragrance-free soap. Make sure that you have a bottle of your favorite water-based lube within easy reach (we love Lovehoney Enjoy), and make sure that bottle is full because the bulbous shape of the Edge 2 will demand a fair bit of that lube.


Preparation, part 2: If you are new to prostate play, or new to this toy, we recommend that you start slowly with a well-lubed finger (your own or your partner’s) first. Take a deep breath and relax your muscles as much as possible. Insert your index finger into your rectum, pointing upwards to target your P-spot. This may take a few tries, so relax and enjoy it!
Insertion: Apply lube generously to the inner prostate arm of the Lovense Edge 2, and to your body. Insert the arm slowly and gently. The arm of the Edge 2 has two distinct humps. Try to get the first one inserted all the way, and then take another deep breath (and take a break if you need to). Push the second hump in — this should be easier than the first since you are already stretched out.


Positioning: Align the toy so that the outer arm is resting comfortably on your perineum (taint). Try to balance the pressure between the prostate and the perineum, and make sure that it is not pinching anywhere because that will not be the good kind of intense once you start up the motor. Pause in place for a minute or two to ensure that it is truly comfortable.
Exploration: When you are ready, you can start investigating all the functions that the Lovense Edge 2 brings to the table. There is a variety of vibration patterns and intensities, ranging from soft and gentle to powerful and rumbly. While we do recommend trying them all to see what works best for you, we also recommend starting off low and slow.


Exploration, part 2: Hold the base firmly with one hand and use your other hand to flex the neck of the prostate arm. This can be awkward, but Edge 2 will stay fixed in place once you have positioned it *right* where you want it.
Remember that this is not an Olympic sport. If you feel discomfort when you are inserting or using Edge 2, it’s fine to take a break and try again when you feel ready. This is supposed to be fun, so don’t do anything that doesn’t feel fun!
PRO TIPS From a Sex Toy Tester!
The Lovense Remote app is your key to the kingdom. It is available for Android (Google Play store), iOS (App Store), and both Windows and Mac computers, and it is that rare bird that seems to play well in all ecosystems. You can use the Lovense Remote app with any and all Lovense toys, so we recommend really getting to know it and the other Lovense apps.
For the Edge 2, the Lovense Remote app allows precise control over all of its functions, including the separate motors in the prostate arm and the perineum arm. You can program the arms to vibrate in sync, or you can dial in more intensity or a faster pace in either area. You can also design your own rhythms, or check out patterns designed by other Edge 2 users, and the app will save those as well as your other preferred settings.


Another feature that we appreciate is that the Lovense Remote app allows you to set a maximum intensity level for the Edge 2, so you will not accidentally jump from mild to wild before you are ready for it.
The Lovense Remote app allows you turn control over to a partner, and since the app operates on smartphones, your partner doesn’t have to be in the same room or even the same hemisphere. This is a great way for long-distance lovers to share intimacy, either in real time or by creating and personalizing patterns in the app.
It also allows for either solo or partnered discreet public play with the Lovense Edge 2. Everyone is on their phone all the time, so no one will notice that you or your partner is thumbing away (most prostate massagers would be anything but discreet in public!). We do not recommend including anyone in your kink who hasn’t consented to it, so discretion is the name of the game here for many reasons.


Choose your location wisely. You want to have some privacy, of course, but the point of public play is being in public! Small secluded parks or beaches, or rooftop retreats if you are in the city, are good options.
And choose your clothing equally wisely. Loose-fitting pants (or kilts?) camouflage the Lovense Edge 2 but still allow you to move your body comfortably. Stay away from anything tight, because if it slips out of place, it will be very difficult to readjust it within the bounds of public decency. Also consider dark, patterned pants in case there is an unexpected (or expected) ejaculation.
Obviously, you will want to use the Lovense Remote app to control the Edge 2 when you are in public — you can’t be digging around your pants for a control panel! We also recommend taking advantage of the app’s ability to store settings and customized patterns, so you can program what you want ahead of time and minimize the need for on-the-fly adjustments.
We love the Lovense Edge 2 and we hope that you do too, whether you’re playing in public or private, solo or partnered!
Happy vibing!
