What Is A Thrusting Vibrator?
A thrusting vibrator is a handheld thrusting sex toy that has a long shaft that extends and contracts to recreate the sensation of penetrative partnered sex. It’s perfect for anyone who finds it easier to cum through penetrative sex but struggles to recreate vigorous thrusting on their own. Many have a simple design, while some have a rabbit ear design and rotating beads to help stimulate the clitoris and g spot while you use it.
How Does A Thrusting Vibrator Work?
Thrusting vibrators have a motor that allows them to shorten and extend their shaft length, creating an in-and-out motion. This extension and contraction enable it to replicate the feeling of penetrative sex without you having to fight against gravity — and all the awkward angles — involved in trying to do so yourself.
Some of these toys were created to resemble a realistic penis. Others also include a rabbit head for external stimulation or spinning beads designed to provide extra sensation to the inside of the vagina, including the g spot.
Do They Feel Good?
Some people have concerns when purchasing this vibrator, the most common being that they are worried the thrusts will be too intense and painful, especially if it comes into contact with the cervix.
While this is a valid concern, the truth is that using thrusting toys is less impactful to the vagina than regular sex. You can also adjust the thrust length and your toy’s speed in the settings.
If penetrative sex is sometimes painful for you, using a thrusting vibrator with a shorter insertable length on a slower setting should be a nice reprieve and helpful in preventing any discomfort during use.
The creators of these toys designed them to mimic all the good feelings of partner sex during solo play without you needing to lift a finger.
Who Are They For?
- Anyone wanting the solo sex experience of a realistic penis providing penetrative pleasure is a prime candidate for this style of vibrator.
- In addition, thanks to their easy-to-hold-onto base, thrusting toys can be used both in the vagina as well as the anus, making them an excellent fit for vagina owners as well as anyone with a penis.
- And anyone who finds it difficult to cum without penetration and wants to sit back and enjoy their pleasure instead of working for every orgasm would benefit from buying a thrusting vibrator to do the heavy lifting.
What To Think About When Buying A Product
Thrusting vibrators offer a variety of different styles and settings. In this section, we dive deeper into the unique features thrusting toys provide, so you can find the suitable toy for you.
The Type
There are two main types of thrusting vibrators. One perfectly emulates a real penis, with a long shaft and tapered head, and the other has ‘rabbit ears’ for clitoral stimulation.
- The more realistic version is simple in design, and aside from having different textures and varying sizes of tips, there aren’t a lot of variances. When it comes to realism, nothing beats Velvet Mini Teddy. And you can read more about Mini Teddy in our review here.
- A thrusting rabbit vibrator, on the other hand, has plenty of unique features, including spinning beads to enhance internal stimulation, suction for the clit, and different styles of ears that provide a unique sensation to each toy. One thrusting rabbit that we love is Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl. And you can read our comprehensive review of it here.
Material
Silicone is a popular material for vibrators since it’s soft on the skin, non-porous, holds body temperature well, and transfers all the yummy vibes from the toy straight to its user.
It’s also not unusual to find thrusting vibrators made from ABS plastic, another popular toy material that’s harder than silicone and transmits vibes very intensely. It is also non-porous and commonly used in middle and higher-end sex toys.
Any models using rotating beads will also have a small section of jelly rubber (TPR) over them since they are thin and very malleable.
You can read more about sex toy materials in this guide.
Settings
Thrusting vibrators offer an assortment of thrusting and vibrating options you can adjust through buttons on the toy itself or with its remote control.
Size
This sex toy was not designed to be compact. Some of the larger phallic-shaped toys can be upwards of 10 inches long at their full insertable length.
Design
Thrusting vibrators are simple in design, being nothing more than a simple shaft that extends and contracts, with some products also including an attachment to stimulate the clitoris.
Sound Level
A downside of this toy is that the motors responsible for the thrusting movement can be noisy, making them less discreet than other sex toy options.
Unlike other vibrators, thrusting toys don’t offer a specific ‘whisper setting.’ And you can’t find information about their noise level in many product descriptions.
If discretion is important to you, try looking online for a video you can watch of your favorite toy in action.
Suction Cup Base
A fun feature that some thrusting vibrators include is a suction cup base to keep your toy in one place — either on the wall of your shower or the floor. You can use it for hands-free riding, expanding the possibilities of your self-love sessions.
Budget
A thrusting sex toy will generally cost around $150. Although you can find less expensive options for as little as $40, you will definitely notice the price difference reflected in the quality level of your sex toy.

How To Use A Thrusting Vibrator?
1. Wash it first
Before using any sex toy — even after just unboxing it — you want to wash it thoroughly with mild soap and warm water.
If you purchased a thrusting rabbit vibrator, be extra diligent when washing it so that you don’t miss any of its little nooks and crannies.
You can read more about sex toy cleaning in this guide.
2. Make sure it’s fully charged
For USB-rechargeable devices, you’ll want to plug them in and allow them to charge completely before using them for the first time.
Moving forward, you’ll want to let your toy run until it’s as close to completely dead as possible before plugging it in. It’s best for maintaining a healthy battery life and enhancing its longevity.
Anyone purchasing a battery-powered toy will want a small stockpile of extras to prevent having to pilfer batteries from their remote control halfway through their solo sex session.
3. Learn how the controls work
Figuring out how to use a thrusting dildo might take some time since most offer various thrusting speeds and vibration patterns.
Take a moment with it off your body to run through all the different setting options and get familiar with how to switch between them.
If you want to ensure you’re not missing out on any of its functions, watching YouTube videos about your sex toy can give you a better idea of everything it offers.
4. Create A Good Mood & Atmosphere
Before using your thrusting vibrator, take some time to create a mood for yourself.
Lighting candles and putting on your favorite lingerie doesn’t have to be reserved for partner sex. Putting in the time to take a bath, break out your coziest blankets, and pop on your favorite set is a fun way to make your solo session — and the subsequent orgasm — all the sweeter.
5. Add Lube
Lube is especially important for penetrative vibrator play since the thrusting action can be vigorous and create a lot of friction, which is best avoided on your sensitive lady bits.
You should only use your silicone thrusting toys with water-based lube or a water-silicone hybrid, as oil and silicone can negatively affect your toy.
6. Foreplay
Foreplay is an integral part of getting the vagina ready for penetrative play. For some, taking time to be fully aroused before getting started can be the difference between reaching orgasm and not.
Most sex experts recommend at least 10 minutes of stroking the breasts, inner thighs, and even outer labia to get your body warmed up and ready to go.
7. Start slow
Whether it’s your first time using your toy or you’re already a seasoned veteran, putting your vibrator on its highest thrusting speed isn’t something that needs to happen immediately.
Instead, you could try putting your toy on a vibration-only setting, slowly adding in more gentle thrusting, and eventually letting it live up to its full orgasm-inducing potential.
8. Explore your body
One of the great things about solo play is that it allows you to connect more deeply with yourself to better understand your body and all the extra-sensitive spots — specific to you — that make you tick.
Using a thrusting vibrator can help you track down your G-spot. And since it has a hefty insertable length, it’s perfect for stimulating the even more elusive a-spot, which is located about 2 inches above the g-spot, between your cervix and the anterior of your vaginal wall.
9. Try different positions
You can use your thrusting toy in various positions, including on your back, on your side, and even bent over in a doggy-style position.
A selling point of some thrusting vibrators is they come with a suction cup bottom that you can use to hold your toy in place while enjoying hands-free penetrative play.
10. Pause or stop if you feel uncomfortable
Penetrative play, done with a thrusting vibe with a long insertable length, can cause discomfort to some women, especially if the sex toy comes in hard contact with the cervix.
If you ever feel pain while using this toy, you might want to try more shallow penetration at a slower speed. In some cases, the vigorous thrusting of this toy might not be the best fit for you, and if you ever feel persistent pain that lasts long after you’ve stopped using your toy, you should contact a healthcare professional.
How To Use Them With A Partner?
Thrusting sex toys are also great for partner play and can be used for penetration — either by yourself or your partner — during foreplay and some steamy double penetration.
Suppose double penetration is something you want to explore with your partner. In that case, you might consider purchasing a cushion specifically designed for you to straddle while it holds your thrusting vibrator in place. One example is Liberator BonBon, and you can read our review here.
The cushion is a better option than a thrusting vibrator with a suction cup for double penetration since it allows you to get in a higher position, allowing for better access for your partner.
It can also be fun to hand over the remote control to your partner, giving them complete control over the simulation level and subsequent orgasm.
Aftercare and Maintenance
A thorough cleanse with mild soap and warm water is necessary after using your thrusting sex toy. Not doing so can leave you at risk of developing a yeast infection or BV.
Always let your thruster sex toy air dry completely, or you can dry it off with a clean towel that won’t leave any debris behind. When it’s thoroughly clean and dry, store it in its own bag or box, separate from all your other toys.
Bottom Line
If you’ve been thinking about picking up a thrusting vibrator to use solo or with your partner, this is your sign.
Whether you pick up a thrusting rabbit with rotating beads or stick to a thrusting sex toy with a simpler design, you can trust that the sensations the pumping vibrator provides will be enough to bring you to your knees and make you cum again, and again, and again.
