When it comes to butt plugs, many are marketed like advanced equipment for people who already know exactly what they’re doing, or they’re so basic they’re barely worth bothering with. The LELO Surfer 2 vibrating butt plug featured in this review sits somewhere in the middle.

As is the case with all LELO sex toys, this butt plug is clearly designed to be premium in terms of the look and feel. It’s small and straightforward enough for people who aren’t looking for anything too intense, but definitely large enough to stay put and give that ‘full’ feeling without needing a training programme and breathing exercises to get it in.
This is a straightforward review of what the LELO Surfer 2 butt plug is actually like to use, and whether it’s worth the £99 RRP.

Size, Design & First Impressions
The first thing you’ll probably notice about the LELO Surfer 2 butt plug is that it’s asymmetrical, which is fairly unusual as most butt plugs tend to conform to the same tapered, symmetrical shape.

The Surfer 2 has one tapered side, with a bulge which pushes against the front wall, and one flat side which sits against the back wall of your anus when in place.
It has a wave-shaped, hard plastic base which means it’s absolutely not going to go anywhere it shouldn’t; very reassuring and much safer than some flimsier butt plugs on the market.
The Surfer 2 fits firmly in beginner-to-intermediate territory. At roughly 7.7cm (just over 3 inches) insertable length and 3.4cm (1.4 inches) at the widest point, it’s a size that most people can use without much difficulty or feeling any discomfort during insertion or wear.
It’s not going to test your limits if you are an anal pro, but for those of us who enjoy anal stimulation but prefer it not to be eye-watering, it’s spot on; it’s big enough that you can feel it there, but not intimidating, and it doesn’t require any mental preparation before use.

Its smooth, tapered, asymmetrical shape makes insertion fairly easy (I mean, is it ever that easy when your fingers are covered in lube?!), and the silicone finish is exactly what you’d expect from LELO; soft, high quality, and comfortable without feeling flimsy.
Comfort & Fit (What It Actually Feels Like)
Once the LELO Surfer 2 vibrating butt plug is in place, it’s comfortable enough to leave in without constantly being overly aware of it. The shape sits well and doesn’t feel like it’s trying too hard to hit a specific spot, which makes it more versatile but less targeted.

It’s worth saying clearly: this isn’t a prostate-focused toy. If you’re specifically looking for that kind of stimulation, there are better options such as the Mantric vibrating prostate massager, or the Rocks Off Adapt.
From a female perspective, that’s not really a drawback. It works more as a general pressure and vibration toy rather than something highly targeted.
Comfort During Sex (Something to Be Aware Of)
One thing to be aware of is the base of the Surfer 2 is made of hard plastic, and although it’s not going to disappear anywhere which is a tick in the pros column, if you’re wearing it as a woman during PIV sex, it can sometimes be felt by your partner depending on positioning and anatomy. In certain positions, the rigid base did get in the way and was even uncomfortables, which was a shame.
It’s definitely worth knowing if you’re specifically planning to use it during partnered sex.
Vibration & Controls
The vibration is solid but not extreme and certainly never veering into uncomfortable. It probably isn’t the strongest vibrating butt plug on the market, but it isn’t trying to be. It’s pleasant, and rumbly, and there are 8 levels of intensity to work with.

In my opinion, the LELO Surfer 2 vibrating butt plug works best as:
- something to pair with other toys eg clitoral suction toys
- a subtle, wearable option for a little app-controlled public sex play if that floats your boat
The main usability issue with the LELO Surfer 2 other than the large, hard base is the control placement; the on/off button is on the plug itself rather the base, which means you need to turn it on and connect the app before insertion. Once it’s inserted, you won’t be able to switch it on without taking it out, which is obviously a mood killer!

The app works well and I have no bad things to say about the LELO app used as a control or long distance using the Love Bridge mode, but this is definitely a ‘set up first’ situation, if you want to be able to control the vibrations.
Comparison: Surfer 2 vs Other Vibrating Butt Plugs

Here’s how the LELO Surfer 2 compares to other vibrating butt plugs I’ve already reviewed. All are made from body-safe silicone, all are waterproof, and all have various vibrating intensities. They’re also aimed at the beginner to intermediate user.
Toy | Modes | Size | Battery & Controls | Pros | Downsides | RRP/ Link to Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
LELO Surfer 2 | 4 settings & 8 intensity levels | Insertable length: 3 inches Circumference: 4.2 inches | Rechargeable, USB – control via LELO app | Comfort, premium feel, longer wear. Waterproof. App controllable. | Button placement – needs to be turned on & connected before insertion. Base is firm and can interfere during sex in some positions. | £99, buy it here |
Lovehoney Butt Tingler (4 inch model) | 3 vibration speeds and 7 patterns | Insertable length: 4 inches Circumference: 4.5 inches | AAA – manual control | Budget option with simple operation.

What It’s Actually Good For
The Surfer 2 isn’t trying to be everything at once, but that is absolutely fine by me.
I would say that it’s best suited to:
- anal play beginners, or those moving slightly beyond beginner toys
- anyone, male or female, who enjoys anal play and prefers comfort and fullness over intensity
- it works well for solo use or as background stimulation, although those planning to wear it during sex may want to be mindful of the firmer base depending on positioning.
- wearable use or longer sessions, and those that enjoy app-controlled discreet public play
- pairing with other stimulation eg a clitoral suction toy like the LELO Sona 3.
If you’re expecting something very powerful or highly targeted, it may feel underwhelming.
However, If you want something easy to use and well-made, it does the job well.
It’s also USB chargeable and waterproof, which goes for all of the great LELO toys that we’ve reviewed.

What Could Be Better
There are a couple of things that stop the LELO Surfer 2 from being the perfect butt plug.
- The button placement is pretty inconvenient compared to most vibrating butt plugs, where it’s on the base and you can control without an app
- The base is large, which is good from a safety point of view, but it is also very firm. While this isn’t noticeable as the wearer, it may be felt by a partner during PIV sex in certain positions
- It doesn’t target the prostate, if this is important to you
- It is a little on the expensive side at £99 full price (but I always wait for the sales or buy from Lovehoney, where you can get 20% off with the code SEXTOYREVIEW20)
None of these are dealbreakers, but they do limit who it’s ideal for.
Verdict: Is the LELO Surfer 2 Vibrating Butt Plug Worth It?
The Surfer 2 is a premium product that focuses more on comfort and design than raw intensity, which will either be exactly what you want or slightly disappointing depending on your expectations.
If you’re specifically looking for a beginner friendly or int ermediate vibrating butt plug in the UK that prioritises comfort over power, the Surfer 2 is one of the better premium options available. It’s comfortable and well-designed overall, although the firmer base may be noticeable for some during partnered use.
If you’re looking for maximum power, a large size or very specific stimulation, there are better (and often cheaper) alternatives.
To conclude this LELO Surfer Vibrating Butt Plug Review: It’s comfortable, easy to use, and the quality you expect from LELO. It’s not big, particularly powerful or especially specialised. And, for a lot of people, that balance will work perfectly, but you need to remember to turn it on and connect it to the app prior to insertion, and if you want to wear it during sex then it might limit the positions you can do comfortably.

LELO Surfer 2 Vibrating Butt Plug Review: FAQ
Is the LELO Surfer 2 good for beginners?
Yes, the Surfer 2 is a good option for beginners or those moving slightly beyond entry-level toys. It’s small enough to be manageable, with a smooth, tapered shape that makes insertion easier than more aggressive designs. It’s also comfortable enough for longer wear, which makes it a solid starting point.
Is the LELO Surfer 2 powerful?
The vibration is more on the moderate side rather than intense. It works well as background stimulation or when paired with other toys, but if you’re specifically looking for very strong vibrations, there are more powerful options available at a lower price point.
Can you control the Surfer 2 during use?
Only with the app. The main button is on the plug itself rather than the base, so you need to turn it on before insertion. Once it’s in place, your best option is to use the LELO app for control, which works well but requires setting up in advance.
Does the LELO Surfer 2 target the prostate?
No, not specifically. While it can provide general stimulation, it isn’t designed as a prostate massager. If prostate stimulation is your main goal, a curved or specifically designed prostate toy would be a better choice.
Is the LELO Surfer 2 worth the price?
It depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a comfortable, well-made vibrating, medium sized butt plug with a premium finish, it’s a good option. If you’re mainly looking for power, girth or very targeted stimulation, you may find better value in cheaper alternatives.
