Owning the Gush for 8 months and using other Penis Vibrators and strokers, I can say that the Lovense Gush that offers a comprehensive package consisting of great build quality, ease of use, decent sensations, remote connectivity and smart in-app controls that cannot be matched by similar shaped toys. The closest competitor is the Hot Octopuss which is a MUCH more powerful toy with half the features.
You can stroke with it while cycling through the patterns or wear it on your penis to tease and eventually achieve a hands-free orgasm- It's the male equivalent of the infamous Lovense Lush "G-Spot" toy that most streamers/cammers use while chatting or doing public, voyeur like videos (You know the ones).
It is priced at a premium which is justified to me based on high build quality , user-friendly design and feature-rich apps offered by Lovense such as Remote Control, Vibemate toy and A.I video-syncing and pattern sharing.
While it is versatile, some penis owners with desensitized glans may find the vibrations are not as powerful unless it's cranked all the way up in vibration intensity, making the toy a bit loud. If intensity is your goal, look for the Hot Octopuss instead
I recommend it for beginners and veterans. It's easy to use, and unlike most strokers and penis vibrators
it doesn't require a lot of of lube. Veteran sex toy owners can find something that tickles their fancy whether it's the remote control, opportunity for hands-free orgasms or plethora of app features.
It excels for users who want a slow-burn, teasing-filled orgasm or those into into edging and longer sessions- not really for ones seeking out a quick session, unless you're willing to stroke with it.
If you can justify the price and you're a techie that likes fiddling with the app settings, vibration patterns and syncing the toy with a partner or Vibemate's AI Sync interests you- It's a fun toy! If you don't fancy smart features, you can find a similar shaped toy elsewhere.

Lovense® Gush: Remote control vibrating tip massager-Buy Now For Intense Satisfaction!
The Gush is packaged neatly like a smartphone. It's got pretty tough cardboard with high quality photo print and pictures of the device and came shrink-wrapped like a new electronic device. It does say "Sex Tech" on the box though. Nevertheless, the box is packed neatly- great unboxing experience.
Design
It looks like a sex toy. It's teal colour is subdued and unique, I like it because it's not too loud.
It's round and contoured shape makes it really easy to hold and stroke with.
Dimensions:
3.39 inches Long x 2.05 inches Wide with 1.38 inches of insertable diamter
Materials:
- Silicone Insertable sleeve and wings
- ABS plastic back
The Gush is smooth with minor ridges in the insertable portion of the toy. The interlocking
"wings" are soft to the touch and beveled with rounded edges that are stretchy and accommodating of most sizes as long as you're not too girthy.
The Gush has 1 button to power on and cycle through patterns on the left side where your index your right hand's index finger and ring finger naturally lie (sorry left-handed users!).
The top side has a tapered contour to accommodate the glans conical shape if you want to place the Gush directly under the Glans, pretty thoughtful.
Quality
The Lovense Gush is a premium priced toy. The build quality and finish of the Gush is top notch.
It's all smooth Silicone, no seams or burs, the plastic module at the back is smooth and adheres well to the silicone and the Gush's contoured shape. There's no residual adhesive/glue or rough edges or gaps that give you any concern of the toy falling apart.
The Gush is not too heavy but has a nice weight to it. It's light enough to hang off my cock while vibrating with the wings hold comfortably to my member, but it's definitely not flimsy feeling, especially when you open up the "Wings". They form right back into place with 0 creasing or tears- this is with 8 months of use at least twice a week.
The battery doesn't degrade much either after 8 months of use- so that's super promising for an expensive toy that it will last at least another year!
Experience
Just to preface, I was cross shopping the Gush and Hot Octopuss toys based on their similar design and shapes. Despite hearing the rave reviews for the Hot Octopuss, I picked the Gush for it's quieter operation and extensive app featuresets because that mattered more to me YMMV.
== In Use==
Using the Gush, I quickly learned that it's not going to make you orgasm right away, it's more of a teasing, "slow burn" toy meant to build excitement and anticipation up until you come. Don't get me wrong, this toy on the medium level or the "Firecracker" or "Earthquake" patterns leaves eaves you leaking and you cant get over the edge-but it takes some time.
The stroking experience is OK with a little lube- but it can get messy quickly, being an open ended stroker. Just have some tissues handy.
I mostly enjoyed using this toy with it strapped to my cock with the included straps while sitting at my computer, watching my favorite scenes, TV or in bed while having it on. It gives you enough pleasure that you feel compelled to finish (ejaculate) either using your hands or via turning it the vibration up to a higher setting- so that's a win!
This toy is ideal for fun for edging sessions given it's moderate intensity and customizability. The Gush is also fun to wear it while working at home if you want to live dangerously. On lower intensities, it's also quiet enough to be used in public if you have the wits for it.
One standout feature I really liked was the Vibemate app's ability to play custom patterns from other users and the AI Video Sync that allows you to wear the Gush and watch your favorite videos while feeling some feedback based on the action in the video like penetration. It's great for a hands-free orgasm. The variance in patterns is OK but it the intensity can be dialed back so you don't get caught off-guard.
==Things I didn't Like==
- The Gush gets fairly loud on the High Setting
- The magnetic charger can easily get dislodge and prevents charging (weak magnet)
- Stimulation is OK unless you trade-off noise and crank up the vibration
== Key Value Propositions==
The Gush It can get you over the edge with it's decent vibrations and cool patterns, to me the key value proposition that sets it apart from other similar products like the Hot Octopuss is the relative quietness at moderate levels and the extensive customization and app connectivity:
- The preset Low, Medium and High settings are adjustable (allowing it to be a stealth toy)
- The mobile app "Remote" app allows play with a partner
- "Vibemate" app that allows you to connect to a PC/Mac/Android to play custom patterns
- A.I Video Sync keeps things fresh and entertaining with semi-unpredictable patterns
- Trophy App allow chatting and connecting with others to control or be-controlled in real-time
It's not super powerful but strong enough for beginner users, couples play and even public play as it's fairly quiet on low to moderate levels. I am happy with my purchase.
Materials and care
The Gush is super easy to clean with mild soap or toy cleaner. It's open-ended design makes it easy to rinse and dry. The included lint-free bag is nice to store the toy and it's charger so it doesn't get damaged or collect dust.
Price
Priced at 119 USD, the Gush is a premium-ish toy that offers a lot of smart, app controlled features. This is a fair price to me but I like smart app controls and the Video AI sync capability.
- It is rather pricey if you're not using the smart app features
If this toy interests you, the good news is that the Gush goes on sale quite often, so be patient if you want to experience the toy and save a couple bucks.

Yeah, some funds can be invested into making the magnets stronger, even the slightest touch dislodges it from the contacts.
RE: AI Sync Feature
TL/DR:
It works enough to make videos more engaging with fairly close reflection of the action on screen, but it's not super accurate.
The Video Sync AI function works pretty well in the sense that it the on/off modulation of the vibration and the intensity of vibrations do increase and fluctuate during more "Active" scenes like penetration. It does vary/flutter/lower the intensity and modulation does slow down when things are less busy or lower intensity of the scenes. Examples being on-video Penetration Speed affects the vibration intensity and duration. Foreplay still sets off the Gush, but it's less intense and more forgiving when it comes to the sporadic fluctuations in speed/intensity.
This is consistent- so it's engaging!
Unfortunately, it's not very accurate to the point where you ideally expect it the AI Sync "react" to the scene in real-time in the way you want where the intensity, duration and peaks/troughs of the vibration closely follow the scene on screen. It's not going to reflect the motions you see in your video to a "T" if that's your expectation. It does break the immersion.
However it's not accurate to mimic the exact reciprocating motion of penetration; you won't feel that modulation on the Gush.
It's A.I, so hopefully it improves over time!

I don't like magnetic chargers either!
Does the Video AI sync function works well?

Just a guy looking for new alleyways of pleasure.
Driven by curiosity and interest of sex toys and their ability to provide new sensations, vibes and feelings.
TL/DR: The Arcwave Ghost is a low-cost Silicone Stroker that provides decent stimulation with it's two-texture reversible design. It's thoughtfully designed with it's stealthy, inconspicuous exterior, exciting reversible two pattern textures and a smart design that makes the toy super easy to use, clean and store.
However the toy itself provides moderate stimulation and can be noisy if used with a fair amount of lube. It also fits rather snug, so larger penis owners should purchase with caution.
All in all, the toy provides decent stimulation with the easy-to-use and clean design which is why I recommend it as your FIRST stroker-like toy. However if you already have a collection of strokers with intricate patterns, you might be underwhelmed.
At the price of 15 USD, it is still a good buy.
The Maia Piper Vibrating Self-Heating suction Silicone Vibrator is a riot. The suction and vibration create an intense sensation that is pleasurable that sort of mimics a blowjob, which is even more convincing when used with lots of lube and the heating function. The soft inner texture included in the internal canal shape really helps it generate a decent level of suction against your member- even at my average size of 4.7 inches length and above-average girth, I had some room and comfortably fit in the sleeve.
The independently controllable 15 levels of vibration X 3 Heat Levels X 5 Suction levels keep things fresh and interesting, they offer pulsating and fluctuating patterns that feel good. The independent control offers you the freedom to explore and discover what you like. With the right setting(s), you can get off easily and repeatedly.
The Maia Piper is well built, solid and not too heavy at 1.1 LBs with an ergonomic shape. It has soft silicone internals and it's waterproof/submergable, making it suitable for shower use. It is definitely a cut above other similar vibration sleeve strokers.
Maia Piper does get fairly loud when you turn on the vibration. The suction can make slurping and gurgling noises if you don't hold it close to you pelvic bone or wait long enough to generate a vacuum on your cock. Not a problem if you have the fan on, or using it in the shower or simply live alone.
Cleaning does require a little bit more attention to clean because you have to run the sleeve under a faucet with the suction activated to rinse out lube or cum from the air-recirculation holes. It takes about 1-2 minutes to ensure it's completely clean.
The toy is rather big measuring at 11.5” long, 3.2” thick x 4.5” wide, so you have to sit, stand or lie down when using it and constantly have a hand to prop it on your junk.
If you don't mind a bit of extra cleaning and a tad bit of noise, the Maia Piper offers a lot of pleasurable possibilities-go for it!
The Fleshy Thrust Sync is a well-built toy that offers an automatic stroking feature with 8 exciting modes with varying speeds, stroke-depth in addition to 4+ vibration modes and the option to heat the sleeve. The Fleshy Thrust Sync is powerful and will get you off in no time, almost too fast if you're not careful, so use lots of lube to reduce the friction and let it glide over you.
The Fleshy Thrust Sync's standout feature is it's truly immersive, sync-to-video cutting edge AI Sync Video connectivity using the Faptap platform. Thrust Sync's ability to sync and create an immersive experience by recreating the stroke patterns is really something else- whether it's Fellatio, Intercourse or prodding is pretty impressive as the Faptap AI sync is able to faithfully reproduce the appropriate speed, stroke depth and reciprocating motion that is shown on screen. If you're looking for an automatic stroker that has the ability to sync to your favorite videos and other videos on popular adult video sites, look no further- the Fleshy Thrust Sync has you covered.
While the toy is a great experience, please note it is rather large and requires a hand to constantly keep it in place, not allowing for a "hands free" experience. The largest point of criticism for an otherwise amazing toy is that it does get fairly loud as the mechanical whirs and actuation sounds between the automatic stroking occurs- it only gets worse with speed.
I recommend the Fleshy Thrust Sync for users who want a solid Automatic Stroker who doesn't mind the noise and for users who want to watch their favorite videos and get closer to feeling the action- I can't imagine how great this toy would be with VR!
The Creature Cocks Dragon Snatch Stroker has a refreshingly high build quality and provides a nice, tight and stimulating sensation that mimics Oral Sex.
Whether you're into dragons, fantasy/furry themes or not, it's definitely worth a try as the sensations rivals some of the tighter, well regarded Fleshlight Strokers.
The Fleshlight Vina Sky Exotica is one of those sleeves that just earns its spot in the lineup. No fluff, no gimmicks, just a damn good stroker. The texture’s wild in the best way, packed with deep ridges and curves that love to twist and grip your knob like it’s trying to wring the soul out of you. Real talk: rotating this bad boy mid-session is awesome because you can feel every contour.
The toys looks good, feels even better, and if you’re into Vina or just want something that leans heavy on that ribbed/twisty action, this one slaps. It is a straight-up essential toy for those of you who are texture fiends.
The Fleshlight Go Torque comes in a slightly smaller size compared to the full size Fleshlight series. Not as compact as the Quickshot, but right in-between to provide a Goldilocks size (for most). Overall this is a great option for those not wanting to store a full sized Fleshlight but at the same time not wanting to limit the experience (or size accommodation) as the Quickshot series. Easy to prep/use, fun experience, easy to clean/store. The transparent design adds some fun!
The Boundless Vulva by CalExotics is a realistic penis masturbator crafted from life-like Pure Skin TPE. It’s ideal for anyone who enjoys multi-textured inner chambers that deliver solid stimulation with a touch of extra tightness. I’d especially recommend it to those looking for a Fleshlight-style experience at a more affordable price — or to first-timers exploring strokers. Perfect for a quick, satisfying release.
The Tenga Spinner lineup is known for the unique twist action, something different from the usual inexpensive stroker toys. The Spinner 006 (Brick) has the distinct brick-like patterned design on the inside. Given its cheap price and ease of use (and cleanup), this a great go-to toy for someone looking for an entry-level toy or perhaps another toy to add to the collection that is unique from others. The fact that it comes with a drying stand at this price point is rather convenient. You won't be disappointed for the money spent, and perhaps might be surprised by the amount of pleasure experienced.
One of the two mini masturbators in the Tenga Arte line, their DRAPE male jerker offers a rash of wonderful sensations the minute you stick yourself up and in it (lube recommended).
Guys really packing might find this sleeve a little too small, but no matter your tool, you could pretty much get the best of you up this cap-like sleeve and enjoy the extra tug and tickle this male sex toy gives you with every squeeze. What the DRAPE has particularly is delicate folds and crevices, set on a tight base structure. That tighter base adds just the right amount of balanced pressure. This makes the DRAPE as easy to work as hold in one hand.
Either for solo explorations of quick tugging comes or for long-lasting dick training, this malleable little masturbatory sleeve delivers.
You're gonna need lube though.
And the sleeve can even be turned inside out for easier cleaning and drying.
And speaking of drying, TENGA has the sleeve set inside its domed covering on what doubles as a holder as a drying stand.
Why have only enjoy one masturbatory experience when you can have five?
The SVAKOM Hedy X 5-Piece Reversible Stroker Sleeve Set delivers sensations from a varied range of sleeves, made of stretchable Thermoplastic, each with its own unique interior texture.
What the company calls is “lusty beehive” pattern to each cock-tugger creates a tight fit that leads the user to a deep, toe-curling orgasm each time as one engages with little nubs and big ones, vertical ridges as well as horizontal, in these sturdy egg-shaped sleeves named Speed, Control, Confidence, Reaction, Speed, and Experience.
A smaller-than-most male sex toy, the Hedy X set is easy to store and the case each sleeve comes in can also hold the sleeve when you dry it after cleaning.
Perfect for hand-size loving and allowing for a different feeling each time you grab this masturbatory carton, this near-dozen from SVAKOM is just the ticket for grabbing your head and having your way.
The XT-18 foldable version quick shot stroker from Xspacecup is a solid toy with a unique cowgirl simulation feature, handles for easier grip, and a collapsible design. However, with only a $20 difference between it and the superior XT-5, the XT-5 is recommended for its stronger motor, more settings, and longer stroke length.
Man I love anime bitches, and Fleshlight’s own anime girls are no different. This pocket pussy’s modeled after Fleshlight’s own seductive succubus v-tuber, Lilith Fukumoto. The sweet and sexy succubus is all about the aesthetic and textures. She's seriously got some gnarly looking textures that I couldn’t wait to tear into.
