What The Lelo Hugo Has In Store – Specs And Features

Things You’ll Find In The Box

Lelo Hugo is a big toy and the design of the box reflects this. It’s not a huge box, it’s a small change in the style of the box. Usually, boxes for Lelo adult toys have a small and clear window that shows the toy.

For Hugo, most of the front of the box is the clear window. You can see the toy nestled in protective packaging inside the box. As with other Lelo products, the box design is done very nicely and gives off a premium vibe.

The box contains:

  • Lelo Hugo remote controlled prostate massager
  • Lelo SenseMotion wireless remote 
  • 2xAAA batteries for remote
  • A plastic key to open the remote (for batteries)
  • USB charging cable for the massager
  • Warranty card
  • A satin storage pouch
  • User manual
  • Small pack of Lelo personal moisturizer (lubricant)

Appearance And Design Of The Hugo

Lelo Hugo is a dual massager. There are two arms to this toy, one gets inserted into the anus, while the other sits along the perineum (taint or gooch). Simply put, while one arm is inside the butt, the other will sit close to the balls (testicles).

The toy is coated almost entirely in silicone, except the shiny metallic thingy at the base, which is made from ABS plastic. Both these materials are non-porous and body-safe, which is good for your hygiene and health. 

They use a premium, high-quality silicone in a matte finish. It’s wonderful to touch and feels soft and velvety. That’s a rather nice feel against the skin and works very well when you use this toy.

Clean curves and lines mark the design language of this toy. It looks smooth and curvy, without any sudden cut or overly prominent lines. This gives the toy an overall nice and aesthetic look. 

However, the lack of prominent lines also means that there is no clear point for the sphincter to hold the toy, like in the Lovense Edge 2. Occasionally, you might feel like Hugo is slipping out of position. It might need occasional adjustments, but overall the toy stays right in place.

There is some flexibility to the toy, especially at the perineum arm. This allows Lelo Hugo to conform to your body and hit the right spot for most users. After all, each body is different and everyone has different preferences for their vibrations. 

While the individual arms have some flexibility, as we see here, the angle between both the arms isn’t adjustable. This is a somewhat unique approach, but I think it shows better results in ensuring the right fit for various body types. 

The flexibility makes it possible for the toy to hit the right spot for most of us.

Measurements And Dimensions Of Lelo Hugo

As we’ve previously noted, Lelo Hugo is not the toy for beginners. 

It’s best suited for intermediate to advanced users. Mainly, this is because the insertable side has some girth to it, so the best suitable option would be to work with a smaller toy. Lovense Hush 2 in its small version might be a better choice for beginners. 

To be clear, this is a medium-sized toy, so a beginner could work with it, but it may not feel comfortable. So, going for a safer bet is probably a better choice than choosing the expensive Hugo.

Overall, this toy has a length of 4.5 inch, of which 3.4 inch is insertable. On the insertable arm, the maximum width goes to 1.28 inches. The nicely tapered side makes it easy to insert without trouble. 

Since this toy has two arms, there is no explicit need for a flared base. Yet, Lelo includes a bit of a flared touch to ensure a better fit and safety for the adult toy. 

The dimensions, shape, and overall design of this toy are pleasing and very likable. It has a nice look, is a delight to touch, and feels very pleasurable on insertion. 

It’s worth mentioning that while we consider Lelo Hugo an intermediate toy, and it does have some girth to it, the toy doesn’t feel very “filling” when inserted. That’s not necessarily bad, but it is something to keep in mind.

Where Are The Motors And How Are The Vibrations

Lelo Hugo has dual motors to keep vibrations going. This toy has one of the strongest and most satisfying deep and rumbly vibrations I have ever experienced. 

There might be some toys that claim a higher power than the Hugo, but I think its ability to produce deep and rumbly vibrations puts this toy ahead of its competition. 

The careful design and motor placement are, of course, part of this equation. Lelo Hugo has two motors that provide amazing and well-placed stimulation. Each arm of the prostate massager holds a motor. 

As you can guess, the motor in the insertable arm is stronger, though the one in the perineum arm is no slouch either.

Rather than simply plonking two motors into a spot, it appears Lelo has taken time to consider how well two motors would work. Even though placed separately, the motors appear to complement each other. 

The flow of vibrations is fun and together, both motors create a sensation that results in the massive and satisfying p-spot orgasms that the Hugo is famous for. 

There are six intensity modes for Lelo Hugo. Moving from one mode to the next and stronger one feels easy and the transition is convenient, without feeling jarring or bringing a shocking change. 

Yet, there is a remarkable difference between the intensity modes. While one is a slow murmur, when you get to the sixth, the vibrations are intense and very strong. 

Your p-spot and prostate will thank you for this experience, and they do it in the most pleasurable way possible!

Battery, Waterproofing, And Cleaning Characteristics Of Lelo Hugo

The big toy that Lelo Hugo is, skimping on the battery isn’t the way to go about things. This toy comes powered by a 420 mAh Li-ion battery. (Side note: I see 420 and I want to make a joke. Alas, the mind is too hazy to come up with one!)

Lelo says that users should charge the battery for at least 2 hours before using it for the first time. That aside, even for normal use, the battery charging time is about 2 hours. Once fully charged, this sex toy provides a playtime of 2 hours. 

The numbers are average, but more than enough for a lot of fun. The 2 hours playtime is good enough for fun, or even if you spend a day of public play. 

Lelo says this toy is 100% waterproof. You can place it under the tap or submerge it under water, and the toy won’t be damaged. This opens possibilities for play as well as upkeep.

You could use the Lelo Hugo in the shower or in the bathtub. Even a swimming pool is a possibility, but I’d avoid taking the Hugo to depths beyond one meter. 

The waterproofing also makes cleaning easier. Since it’s submersible, putting the toy in a cleaning solution can make things very easy.

Unfortunately, as with many Lelo toys, there is a problem point with the waterproofing. Lelo is still stuck using pin-style chargers for many toys, including Lelo Hugo. While the charging point is concealed and protected by a flap, it’s still a point of failure when you consider waterproofing and charging. 

If the Hugo has been anywhere near water, I’ll suggest thoroughly checking the charging point for moisture before plugging in the charger.

Getting Comfy With The Lelo Remote Control

One of the coolest things about Hugo is the remote control. I have been critical about the lack of a remote in toys like Lelo Loki Wave, but Hugo’s remote makes things a whole lot easier.

Hugo runs on Lelo’s usual SenseMotion remote. Much like the toy, the remote is largely covered in silicone, though the shiny ABS plastic makes an appearance as well. 

As with any conventional remote, pressing buttons on Lelo’s remote will affect the toy. There are three buttons here. On the center is the () button, which manages the patterns, while the + and – buttons show up on either side, and manage the intensity of vibrations.

But there is a little bit more here, which also explains why the Lelo remote is larger than its contemporaries. 

A very interesting feature here is gesture control. In this mode, the intensity of the vibrations depends on the angle of the remote. When the remote is horizontal, the vibration intensity is at its lowest. Turn it to a vertical position, and the intensity is at its highest. 

Simply put, the vibration intensity of the remote changes as you change its angle from horizontal to vertical.

The other unique feature is that the remote vibrates. While the vibrations obviously aren’t as strong as the toy, they have an interesting role to play. They provide nice feedback, so the person with the remote gets a better understanding of the vibrations that the toy is using.

It’s a nice touch, so if your partner is managing the remote, they know the vibrations you’re enjoying. For a partner skilled with the toy, this can be a very potent tool for maximizing the fun and your pleasure!

The only not-so-cool thing about the Lelo remote control is that it needs 2 AAA batteries to operate. For a remote with so many features, a rechargeable battery might have been better. Besides, you need a special key to access the batteries, and that can get annoying, especially if you lose the key.

Notes On Using The Lelo Hugo – What To Expect

Getting It On With Hugo

The first thing to do when you intend to use a sex toy, is to lube up. Pour generous amounts of a water-based lubricant on the toy and your anus. Adding some to the perineum will do good as well. 

I found the Hugo easy enough to insert, thanks partly to its shape. Once inserted, the toy fits nicely and feels snug. It might be necessary to adjust the toy and its perineum arm slightly to meet individual expectations. 

What I really wanted to try, even before the vibrations, was to see how this toy felt while going about a normal day. So, I walked around with the toy inserted, and it felt pretty good. Although soon, it also felt like Hugo was slipping out. 

As the next step, I put on my underwear and trousers with Hugo still inserted. The clothes actually helped keep the toy in place. Walking around seemed more convenient, though I still occasionally felt like the toy was slipping out of position. 

Lelo Hugo didn’t seem intrusive when sitting down or getting up, nor did it reduce motion. I think the toy does create a somewhat visible bulge, especially for skinny people, but it’s not a huge problem.

Vibing With Lelo Hugo

Now’s the time to get talking of the most important quality of Lelo Hugo – its orgasmic vibrations.

When starting off, the slight murmur of the vibes isn’t that big a deal. However, as we go to higher intensities, the vibes get stronger and truly lovely.

If the massager has been positioned well, the P-spot should get a nice dose of vibrations. For me, it became apparent at setting four that all systems were go for an orgasm. I did make it to five, and witnessed an intense orgasm. 

It was wonderful and breathtaking. Though I have multiple p-spot orgasms on my agenda, and I’m sure Hugo will get me there, I haven’t really tried it yet. 

Although, I will say that Hugo’s rumbly vibrations are excellent and result in very satisfying and amazing orgasms.

Now, how about public play?

Lelo Hugo does give you the freedom to walk about with the massager inserted. That said, I wouldn’t consider this toy for public play unless I’m in a place with substantial background noise. Then again, I would prefer not to have an intense p-spot orgasm on the road, pleasurable as it would be. 

Even so, it feels pretty good to walk around with the Hugo inserted and occasionally give myself jolts of pleasure with the prostate massager at low power settings. 

It can work for public play, but I think there are better options available for that. Using the Hugo at home and in my comfort and privacy is far more rewarding than the naughty side of public play with this massager.

How Noisy Is This Massager?

Where there are powerful and rumbly vibrations, there is noise. For massagers like Hugo, a significant amount of noise gets drowned out when they’re inserted. But that noise suppression isn’t absolute and this one also has a motor on the non-insertable arm (perineum arm). 

So, there is some noise from this massager and it is noticeable. Lelo’s official count for noise is at 50dB. That’s slightly less than someone having a normal conversation. So while not loud, the noise is noticeable enough.

If you don’t want anyone to know that you’re using the prostate massager, it might be helpful to have some background noise in the room. Some music or TV will do. These precautions might not be necessary for those who prefer low intensity settings.

As we see in this Lelo Hugo review, this prostate massager really knows how to deliver pleasure. Aim for the p-spot and its rumbly vibrations will not disappoint. Well, it does more than just the basics. It delivers strong stimulation that results in amazing, very satisfying orgasms. 

Things can get even better if you use it with your partner. Lelo Hugo is a remote-controlled prostate massager, so you can hand the controls of the vibrator to your partner. 

Lelo’s remote has an option for vibration feedback, so your partner too will be able to sense and feel the type and strength of vibrations you’re enjoying. This adds a dimension of sensuous to this already pleasurable experience!
