Review summary:
Update March 2024: I just reviewed the brand new 3rd version of the F1S from Lelo and it’s amazing and better than the V2. You can read my full Lelo F1S V3 review here or you might get a cheap V2 version right now if you still want that version.
The LELO F1S V2 is a very high-quality male masturbator that uses sonic waves and vibrations to stimulate you. I personally love the SonicWave technology and I could feel it all the way through my balls and my prostate when I used it.
It does have a lot of power and the included app makes it easy to make custom vibration patterns and control it.
It is however not that big and it’s not for you if your penis has a bigger circumference than 5 inches.
Using it feels like getting a wet and strong-sucking blowjob in a good way.
This is what you get:
I recommend the LELO F1S v2 if you’re after a unique male masturbator of very high quality.
The F1S male masturbator from LELO had an update to a new version 2 in the last half of 2021 and that’s the version I’ll be looking at in this review.
Shipping was fairly quick at 3 days for an international order and it arrived in a nondescript box perfect for privacy.
The F1S v2 feels great in the hands and its notably better quality compared to the vast majority of sex toys which tend to have a plastic feel to them.
The box includes the bare minimum and a couple of lube bags for a couple of sessions with the F1S v2.
There is no manual or instructions but a simple QR code and a link to a downloadable manual. It’s great to see they removed the printed version to save paper and weight for less CO2 impact.
This is included in the box:

Do I Need to use the App?
The F1S can be controlled with an app on your phone but it doesn’t need to be and you can simply use the buttons on the back of the device.
Right out of the box, the F1S v2 is locked so it doesn’t turn on during shipping, you simply start charging or hold the plus and minus buttons for a few seconds to unlock it.
I’ve tested a large number of male masturbators during my 12 years in the sex toy industry and this is the first one that vibrated my entire lower body including my prostate which is pretty wild to think about.
You don’t have to crank it up to feel the incredible stimulation that the F1S v2 delivers but I kind of enjoyed being shaken to my inner core. The new and upgraded vibration motor is twice as powerful as the old version which in itself way quite powerful.
The best way to describe the feeling of using it is to imagine getting a blowjob (that’s why it’s on the list of the best blowjob machines) while using a vibrating penis ring and a prostate massager all at the same time. It can be a little overwhelming but you can always decrease the strength of the stimulation with a single push of a button.
Overall, an incredible male masturbator that delivers unique stimulation and pleasure.
LELO has gotten a lot further with their version 2 of the F1S male masturbator but there is still a lot to be improved.
The Charging port issue
A few thoughts about the charging cable and the way it plugs into the F1S v2 – LELO has cut a corner here and used a standard sex toy charging cable.
There is nothing wrong with the cable itself but the plug is too long and you can’t plug the charger in completely.
This leaves some of the metal exposed on the cable which just feels wrong. It would have been nice to see them custom-design a charging cable that fits perfectly in the F1S v2. I’ve talked to LELO about it and hope it’s going to be fixed in the next version.
It’s however nothing major and certainly not a deal breaker.
It might look like a stroker but it’s not and you should not try to use it as one. It can be tempting to try but you might end up breaking something if you try to stroke in the F1S. There is a lot of technology in it that might break if you misuse it.
There are plenty of great strokers out there and I would highly recommend our list of the best pocket pussies if you’re after a male stroker.
The LELO F1S v2 is quite an upgrade from the first developer version of the device and it has significantly more power and features to play with.
I wish they would increase the size of the insertable area both in terms of length and girth. It would most likely require a complete redesign of the entire device and not something that happens overnight.
All the new technologies that are put into the LELO F1S v2 are however a promising sign for the future of male masturbator sex toys.
A future that I look forward to being part of because the sonic waves do make a huge difference and I would love to see it implemented in stroker-style masturbators and other sex toys for men.
I’ll not recommend the LELO F1S v2 to men who have a larger-than-average penis due to the limited space but it’s an absolute no-brainer if your penis is below 5-inches in girth.
It can take your masturbation game to a whole new level that wasn’t possible before.
I recommend the LELO F1S v2 if you want to experience next-level penis stimulation.
