Review: LELO Oden 2

By @ Amber St. Clare

When I found out that LELO was going to be releasing new updated versions of their SenseMotion line, I was definitely interested in seeing if the new improved versions would make me like the collection better, and it did! These new improved versions of SenseMotion are basically what I think most of us were hoping for with the first editions of the toy. LELO Oden 2, th4e Design Edition, looks just like the original Oden, with a few improvements to make the toy better than the previous version. First off, the engine is a little more powerful. The sensor inside of the toy is a lot more stable also, so the toy will remain working even if the sensor isn’t right next to the toy. There is a lot more control over the Oden now, which is great because as a couples toy, you want a product that delivers without too much fuss. LELO Oden 2 is made of body-safe metallic colored ABS plastic and smooth matte silicone in a black color, the toy fits in the palm of your hand, and is both waterproof and rechargeable. This cock ring can be used in the shower or tub, and it can be sanitized by washing with warm soap and water and drying with a lint-free cloth. The non porous silicone material is easy to clean, just be sure to cleanse the silver plastic ring around the base of the toy well. You can also use a toy cleanser or toy cleaner wipe all over the toy, these work well when cleaning the remote controller and the silver plastic parts of the toy. Oden works well with water-based lube, and shouldn’t be used with silicone lubricants. Oden 2 works as a couples toy that is placed around the penis, to act as a cock ring during sex. Oden is shaped similar to the LELO Tiani, except that on of it’s pliable arms is shaped in a ring, to be put around the base of the cock. The cock ring helps to maintain an erection longer, prolong orgasm, and the vibrations also add stimulation during partner sex. I really like the sleek design of the toy, and the smooth feel of the silicone. The toy comes in the signature LELO gift box, along with a user manual, charger, packet of LELO lubricant, 1 year limited warranty, and a satin storage pouch, along with the signature LELO Insignia brooch.

The remote control that comes with the toy is a round disc remote with a metallic silver plastic back, and a smooth silicone front, where you will find the user buttons. The buttons look the same as the control buttons on the first Insignia model, they are still seamless and quite easy to press. The Oden 2 itself, as a wireless button to press to turn on, then as the remote button is pressed to turn on, the cockring wirelessly connects to the remote and then the remote may be used to control the toy. However, with this new model, the toy can also be used without the remote! I think this is one of the best new features of the Oden 2, that it can be controlled alone, which I think can be easier for couples to use while in the throws of passion. The Oden 2 opens at the silver metallic band, twists open to show the charging port. You plug the charger into the port, and allow the toy to charge with an electrical outlet. The cockring part itself, is quite stretchy, and when placed properly on the penis it stays put. It can be used in a variety of positions, and even in the shower or bath. Oden 2 boasts 50% more power, which can definitely be noticed when compared to the first edition Oden, however it’s still not a super intense vibration. I do like LELO’s rumbly motors though, and I tend to think that their vibration resonates deeply enough to bring me to orgasm. This new updated version also allows for 3 times greater range for wireless use with the remote control, and while the first SenseMotion editions did have some flaws when connecting wirelessly, I found that the problem was fixed with this new edition! This is another great thing about the Oden.

The new Oden 2 also comes with an additional attachment for variety when using the ring, this separate attachment offers a closed off ring for a more snug fit around the cock. I found that both rings were stretchy and could probably fit most men, as the rings stretch to about 2 inches in diameter. The toy is lightweight and discreet, and I still like the modern high-tech look of the Oden. If you wanted to try the first edition Oden, but had doubts, your money will be better spent with this new design edition! The improvements make it a toy worth looking into. Oden 2 is very quiet and doesn’t make too much noise, so it’s ideal for use even with roommates in the next room. The SenseMotion technology is still there, so even though the toy can now be used without a remote control if you’d like, it also can be used with the control, and all it takes is a move of the wrist to take the vibrations from soft an steady to nice and rumbly. You still power the toy with the +/- and Insignia buttons, and they work much like before, with browsing through the vibration settings and vibration patterns. If this is your first time using a SenseMotion toy, I do suggest reading the instruction manual, as it will help quite a bit to figure out exactly how the toy works and which buttons will take you where you want to go without all the muss and fuss. I’m quite pleased with the new Oden 2, the upgrades along with the added attachment is a nice new feature, as well as the fact that the remote works so nicely in this new edition! You can get the LELO Oden 2 at Trystology!
