I’m excited the day has finally come when I can sit down and write a Lelo Mona 2 review. This is a review which has been a long time in the making – since before I had a website and wrote about sex toys online.
I started recommending this toy to my friends shortly after buying it – and now that my platform for talking about sex toys has expanded beyond my close friends – it’s time to share my experience with all of you!
When I purchased this toy a few years ago, it quickly skyrocketed to the front of my sex toy collection and became my personal favorite and most used vibrator – especially for clit stimulation during partnered sex. It comes out nearly every time my husband and I have sex.
The Mona 2 is a flagship G-spot vibrator with many raving reviews (including my own), but it’s not for everyone.
So I’m going to try to temper my passions for this toy a bit so I can give you a more objective look in my Lelo Mona 2 review.
Vibe Quality, Intensity, and Patterns
First – the absolute most important part of any vibrator. The vibes!
The Mona 2’s vibrations are a good mix of rumbly and buzzy vibes.
I’d say the Mona 2 is about 7.5 of 10 on rumbliness which is right in my perfect spot. I still like a hint of buzz which adds a bit of extra oomph to the underlying rumbles. When a vibrator still has a little bit of buzziness mixed in with the lower-frequency vibrations, it impacts my clit more immediately.
I find I orgasm clitorally more easily from my Lelo Mona 2 than my Pillow Talk Sassy which is 10 out of 10 on rumbliness.
How about vibration power?
Ya, Mona’s got it. Personally, I never need more power than the Mona 2 can give on its high settings. Her powerful, rumbly vibes are actually what taught me I could have multiple orgasms so I’m personally a fan of this toy. Unless you crave really intense vibration power like you’d get from a plug-in wand vibrator – the Mona 2 will probably deliver for you. Here’s what one Reddit user had to say comparing their wand vibrator and the Mona 2.
When I start playing, I keep it vibrating on the lower power levels until my body’s heated up and ready to go! If you prefer less intensity, you could definitely stay there and ride the low rumbly vibes til the end.
And the range of vibration power from low to high is great if you want your play to extend past the first orgasm. After my first orgasm, I need less intensity near my clit immediately after. I’ll let the Mona 2 keep vibrating on low nearby my clit without touching it. This usually gets me worked up pretty quickly again, and I’ll turn it up high for another O.
There are six different vibration patterns from a constant buzz to a rolling wave-like pattern. You can cycle through them with the buttons on the handle. If you have lube on your fingers they can be a bit tricky to press, but I never have difficulties any other time.
When I’m getting close – if I’m really worked up and just want to get there – constant vibration at high power does the job for me every time. But if I’m in the mood to make it last, the rolling wave setting is a great way to tease and edge for a bit before letting myself finish.
Versatility: G-spot, Clit, Partnered Sex – You’ve Got It
Versatility is one of the main things the Mona 2 has going for it. It’s curves, size, and the simplicity of maneuvering its handle make the Mona 2 work really great for both internal and clit stimulation.
Like any G-spot vibrator, the Mona 2 is curved upward to target your G-spot. But the Mona 2 has a bulbous section with a uniquely tapered tip so it can provide broad stimulation OR pinpoint precision.
I actually prefer using the Mona 2 on my clit and I love the broad stimulation from the wide part of the head. I’ll let it curve around the side of my clit to provide great vibes to the whole area. But if you prefer more pinpoint stimulation like you’d get from a bullet vibe – the tapered tip can give you that too. I like to use the more focused stimulation once I’m really close to orgasm.
And the completely smooth tapered tip makes it really easy to insert. The actual width of the Mona 2 is slimmer than a lot of G-spot vibrators at 1.25 inches. But the fact that the bulbous section is so long still makes the Mona 2 feel pretty filling. It’s actually more filling than my personal preference so I prefer my Pillow Talk Sassy for G-spot stimulation. But if you enjoy feeling more full, you’ll probably prefer the Mona 2.
The Mona 2’s soft silicone covers hard ABS plastic encasing the motor. It’s completely smooth, but it doesn’t have much give. If you prefer some flexibility in your vibrator, you may find the Mona 2 a bit stiffer than you like. But the really silky silicone feels luxurious.
If you don’t like any precision stimulation internally, you can find toys with a completely flat head or a consistently broad shape. But If you do enjoy some precise internal stimulation (a bit more like getting fingered) the Mona 2 may be a great choice for you.
Where the Mona 2 really shines for me is during partnered sex! This toy quickly became my go-to when I want to finish with my partner inside me. I started out trying smaller vibes like eggs, bullets, and pocket rockets during sex – and they worked okay.
But it quickly becomes crammed down there with a sex toy, my partner’s body, and my own hand all trying to work my clit and G-spot in the same space. Not to mention it’s just a little uncomfortable in some positions to keep my hands right near my clit the whole time. Large wands keep my hands out of the way better – but then the toy itself is so bulky that it get’s in the way and limits what my partner and I can do.
The nice handle on the Lelo Mona 2, and its slimmer but long curve allow me to keep my hands out of the way while the Mona delivers vibrations right to my clit – and the slender shape of the Mona makes sure the toy itself stays out of the way of my partner’s penis or fingers in me too. As you can see, even if I’ve got the Mona 2 down pretty low, my hands are clear out of the way.
If you’ve had trouble finding a good toy to use during sex, it’s worth giving the Lelo Mona 2 a try.
Will It Wake The Neighbors
The Mona 2 is pretty quiet, but it definitely depends a bit on your scenario. The maximum volume is less than 50 decibels (db). To give you some sort of idea – 40db is “quiet library sounds” and 50db is a refrigerator. So it’s somewhere between a library and a fridge.
From my experience on the higher power settings being used externally – someone in the same room is going to notice.
Sometimes my husband can’t tell when I’m using it next to him in bed. But if I’m already pretty worked up – I don’t need to turn the vibrations up all the way. If I had to use the highest intensity – he’s gonna know.
But suppose you’re camping for the weekend – your friends in the next tent over are probably NOT going to notice the Mona’s rumbly vibrations. If you can’t tell, I enjoy a bit of sneakiness and the Mona 2 has been a good companion for my fun.
The low rumbly vibrations are pretty easily dampened too. Especially if you’re using the toy internally or even externally covered by a thick blanket (or sleeping bag).
Cleanup
The Mona 2 is easy to clean. It’s body-safe silicone and ABS plastic. AND it’s 100% waterproof. So not only can you use it in the shower – you don’t have to worry about water getting in it when cleaning it. So just a good scrub with soap, a full rinse, and you’re good to go again.
Lelo Mona 2 Review Results
I’ve had my Lelo Mona 2 for several years now and it’s remained my favorite vibrator since I added it to my collection. It comes out nearly every time my husband and I have sex. It’s a great, versatile vibrator – broad or pinpoint stimulation, clitoral or G-spot, indirect or direct.
But the Lelo Mona 2 especially shines during partnered sex. I’ve not found a vibrator that’s easier to use on my clit during partnered sex than the Mona 2. I can maneuver it easily all around my clit, lips, and entire vulva without the toy or my hands interfering with my partner.
I think the Lelo Mona 2 is a great toy if you:
- Want a vibrator that offers powerful G-spot or clit vibrations
- Want a versatile vibrator to apply broad or focused stimulation
- Want a vibrator that’s easy to use for clit stimulation during partnered sex
- Enjoy focused G-spot pressure (like from fingers) over broad, flat pressure
I think an alternative G-spot vibrator may be better if you:
- Are on a tight budget
- Prefer broad pressure on your G-spot
- Prefer an especially rumbly vibrator
Mona 2 Alternatives
Budget Friendly Option – Pillow Talk Sassy
The Pillow Talk Sassy is a good alternative to the Lelo Mona 2 for people on a tighter budget, and depending on how you plan to use your vibe – it may be a better option anyway.
The Pillow Talk Sassy is a purely rumbly vibrator. There’s not really a hint of buzz to it. For clit stimulation, I prefer there to be a bit of buzz on top of the deep rumbles. So I prefer my Lelo Mona 2 clitorally.
But for G-spot stimulation, I want that deep, impactful feeling that only rumbly vibes can give.
The Pillow Talk Sassy is easily my favorite vibe at the moment for G-spot stimulation.
The neck also flexes which makes it more comfortable for me internally. But it’s harder to press the vibes firmly into my clit when I’m using it externally.
I also prefer the Mona’s tapered tip clitorally which is easier to glide along and target specific areas with more precision.
The Pillow Talk Sassy also doesn’t have low, soft levels like the Lelo Mona 2. It starts off pretty strong. If you need low levels toward the beginning of your play, you may prefer the Lelo Mona 2. There’s only one button too so you’ll have to cycle through vibration intensities.
For G-spot stimulation – I prefer the Pillow Talk Sassy. For clit stimulation, I prefer the Lelo Mona 2.
We’d Recommend the Pillow Talk Sassy Over the Lelo Mona 2 If:
- You’re on a budget
- You prefer broader vibrations and a fuller head
- You want very rumbly vibrations
- You want a vibe that’s better for G-spot stimulation than for clit stimulation
Broad Stimulation Alternative – Lelo Gigi 2
Some people swear by the Lelo Gigi 2 and some people hate it. Well, really that’s a bit true of any vibrator.
The Gigi 2 offers a flat head to press right against the G-spot and deliver broad pressure and vibrations over the whole area. The shape also has a bit of a lip to it, which you can use to tug at your G-spot a bit.
The main downside – the vibrations are not as powerful.
This user’s experience pretty much sums up my thoughts on who the Lelo Gigi 2 is for.
Check out our full Lelo Gigi review here.
We’d Recommend the Lelo Gigi 2 Over the Lelo Mona 2 If:
- You’re sensitive to intense vibration
- You prefer very broad pressure against your G-spot
- You enjoy more of a tugging action on your G-spot
Long-Distance Option – We-Vibe Rave
If you’re interested in the shape and vibration style of the Mona 2, but have a taste for giving up control, the We-Vibe Rave may be the vibe for you.
You can connect the We-Vibe Rave with the We-Connect app to give full control of your toy to a partner.
This also lets your partner deliver a limitless range of vibe patterns if you enjoy variation.
It’s got great rumbly vibrations like the Mona 2. It’s actually even a bit rumblier than the Mona 2 on the high settings. It’s also a bit louder though if sound is important to you.
Again, its broad shape and less accentuated curves are a bit less conducive for use during partnered sex. And the buttons on it are a bit trickier to easily control.
But if you enjoy long distance fun, or giving up control – those options may be more than enough to make up for it.
We’d Recommend the We-Vibe Rave Over the Lelo Mona 2 If:
- You enjoy giving up control to a partner
- You want to have long-distance fun with your partner
- You want the vibes to be as rumbly as they possibly can be
- Noise level is less important to you
Final Thoughts
The Lelo Mona 2 is a great G-spot and clit vibe – and in my experience one of the best vibrators to use on my clit during partnered sex (my personal favorite actually). If you have it in your budget and want the versatility of broad or pinpoint precision to your favorite spots, it may be a great choice for you too.
