What are they?
Lovense Gush
The Lovense Gush is a vibrator designed specifically for hands-free frenulum stimulation and edging sessions. It’s made from high-quality body-safe silicone and wraps around the shaft to deliver rumbly vibrations exactly where they count.
The Gush really shines when used with the Lovense Remote app, which unlocks custom patterns, long-distance control, and a plethora of other features to enhance your experience.
At $99, it’s fully waterproof (IPX7), comes with optional constriction bands for extra tightness, and if you want app-controlled precision and true hands-free edging capability without the bulk of an auto-stroker, the Gush delivers exceptional value.
Fun Factory Manta
The Fun Factory Manta is a versatile vibrating toy that’s great for both solo and couples play. It has a unique winged design with flexible silicone “wings” that wrap around your shaft and delivers targets vibrations.
Because of it’s open design it’s great for use with couples or even to pair with other toys (actually using the Gush and Manta at the same time is my favorite toy combination). The motor delivers deep, rumbly vibrations with simple, easy to use buttons and is exceptionally quiet for those moments when you need to be discrete.
At $139, you’re paying for German engineering, body-safe silicone, and a unique design that excels at both solo and couples play.

Vibration 📳
Lovense Gush
The Gush focuses vibration directly on the frenulum with a U-shaped design. The motor delivers rumbly sensations and, coupled with the Lovense Remote app, very granular control exactly how you wants those vibrations delivered.
The Gush moves far beyond “low”, “medium”, and “high” settings and allows for textured, nuanced patterns that can be as gentle or as intense as you prefer.
Strengths:
- Precise frenulum targeting
- App-controlled custom patterns
- Pairs with other Lovense toys for synced play
Weaknesses:
Vibration spread depends on fit
Vibration spread depends on fit
Fun Factory Manta
The Manta has 6 levels of steady vibration and 6 patterns. At lower speeds, the Manta delivers deep, rumbly vibrations and packs a decent punch when turned up to full power.
The Manta delivers deep, rumbly vibrations through ridged silicone fins that channel lube and hug the shaft. The motor sits centrally and spreads vibration evenly across the entire contact surface.
Strengths:
- Rumbly, satisfying vibrations
- Spreads sensation across shaft and frenulum
- Excellent for slow edging sessions
- Controls are very easy to use
Weaknesses:
- No app control or customization
- Fixed vibration patterns only
Winner for Vibration: Manta for broad, enveloping rumbles. Gush for precise, customizablFun Factory Manta
Hands-Free Capability 🙌
Fun Factory Manta
The Manta is not designed for hands-free use. You need to hold it in place or press it against your body. It works best as a stroker you manipulate manually, or as an enhancement during oral/partnered play.
Hands-Free Score: ⭐⭐☆☆☆
Lovense Gush
The Gush excels at hands-free edging. The U-shaped silicone wraps around the shaft and stays put with minimal adjustment. Add the optional constriction band for extra grip, and it becomes a true set-it-and-forget-it vibrator.
Hands-Free Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Winner: Gush by a landslide. If hands-free capability matters to you, this isn’t even close.
App Control & Customization
Fun Factory Manta
No app control. The Manta has a simple button interface with fixed patterns. You cycle through six vibration modes manually. It’s straightforward and reliable but offers zero remote control or customization.
Lovense Gush
The Lovense Remote app transforms the Gush into a remote-controlled powerhouse:
- Custom patterns: Build your own vibration rhythms
- Long-distance control: Partner can control from anywhere
- Sync with media: Pairs with compatible porn and music
- Multiple toy control: Sync with Nora, Max 2, etc. for couples play
Winner: Gush—not even a contest if app control matters to you.
Partner Play & Couples Use
Fun Factory Manta
The Manta is designed for couples. Its open design means a partner can use their mouth and hands without the toy blocking access. During oral, it amplifies sensation without getting in the way. During penetrative sex, it can be used for dual stimulation or foreplay.
Couples Use Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lovense Gush
The Gush works for couples play via remote control, but its U-shaped design makes it less compatible with oral or partnered contact. It’s better for synchronized toy play (e.g., syncing with a Lovense Nora for dual control) or long-distance scenarios.
Couples Use Score: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆
Winner: Manta for hands-on couples play. Gush for remote/synced couples play.
Waterproofing & Cleaning
Fun Factory Manta
Shower-safe but not fully submersible. You can rinse it under running water, but don’t submerge it in a bath or take it underwater.
Cleaning: Easy—rinse with warm water and toy cleaner. The fin design doesn’t trap lube.
Lovense Gush
IPX7 waterproof—fully submersible. You can use it in the bath, shower, or even a pool (though we don’t recommend the latter publicly).
Cleaning: Slightly trickier due to the U-shape and optional band, but still straightforward.
Winner: Gush for full waterproofing.
Noise Level
Fun Factory Manta
Very quiet—one of the quietest vibrators on the market. You can use it with shared walls and minimal concern.
Noise Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lovense Gush
Moderately quiet at lower settings, but noticeable at higher intensities (~50-60 dB). Not silent, but unlikely to be heard through walls.
Noise Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Winner: Manta for discretion.⭐⭐⭐⭐
Portability & Travel
Fun Factory Manta
Compact and discreet—palm-sized and doesn’t scream “sex toy.” Easy to pack, but not as travel-optimized as the Gush.
Travel Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Lovense Gush
Designed for travel—lightweight, compact, and the U-shape folds flat. Comes with a storage bag. USB rechargeable. Perfect for travel or business trips.
Travel Score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Winner: Gush for portability.
