The Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime is a G-spot thruster to end all G-spot thrusters. The design of the head is meant to not just target your G spot but darn near traumatize it. Unlike traditional fucking machines, this is a portable sex machine, so you could bring it on vacation or keep it on your nightstand. Having tried several self-thrusting dildos in the past, I was excited to find out if this one had anything on the competition.
I had a blast testing the Nanci G-spot dildo. It’s extremely powerful, highly customizable with many heads and accessories, easy to use, and has an extremely long battery life (8 hours). So if you want the speed, customizability, and G-spot stimulation that a sex machine offers but for a cheaper price, Velvet Prime thrusting Nanci is perfect. Your G-spot will beg for mercy afterward. Trust me!
Who should try it? If you want serious power and battery life that can overwhelm your G-spot, look no further. The Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime was made for you. It’s excellent and works with several attachments like the suction cup, so this will also be an excellent choice for people who want this toy to work for their partners, too, as it can work for penises with certain accessories that you can buy separately.
Who should skip it? The Velvet Thrusters are customizable, so if the Nanci isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, chances are you can choose a different head type and find something that you’ll love. However, please keep in mind that Nanci isn’t an ideal first foray into G-spot toys. So, if you are unsure about G-spot stimulation, start with a cheaper, gentler model, like the Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl. And if you love power but are looking for something smaller, the Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy might be more your speed. Finally, it’s a bit noisy, and if you want something more quiet, I recommend Lovense Gravity.

What Is Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime?
Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime is a thrusting G-spot stimulator. It can mimic the feeling of sex since it thrusts rather than relying on your hand strength to move the toy in and out repeatedly. The hooked head is one of the unique features, and it’s designed to target your G spot with pinpoint internal stimulation.
First Impressions and Features
Unboxing
As you can see in the image below, Nanci’s packaging is minimal but it does the trick. The G-spot toy isn’t giftable, which is slightly disappointing since the price point is nearly $250.

How to Use Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime?
The Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime is the perfect thrusting dildo to use for solo play or with a partner. To get started, wash and charge it and ensure you have some water-based lube nearby. Lube yourself up and Nanci.
Before graduating to deeper thrusts, it’s a good idea to try the toy while it’s off so you can become used to the size before turning up the heat and experimenting with the thrusting motion. Once you are thoroughly lubed up and turned on, use the control buttons to turn the handheld fucking machine on. If the lower speeds feel comfortable and pleasurable, use the plus button to try out the faster thrusts.

My Personal Experience
Whenever I test a thrusting dildo, I have to warm up first, and this takes time. But the payoff is almost always worth it. Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime can simply be the best dildo to add to your collection.
Like the opposite of a real live penis, the Velvet Thruster is at its most flexible while it’s at its longest length. And also unlike real sex, this toy was supposed to be able to last eight hours. It fell well short of its listed battery life, but it did last for several hours. Honestly, I get sore merely from saying “eight hours of thrusting” out loud, so I wasn’t disappointed in the battery life at all.
When I tested the endurance of the battery, I noticed that around hour two the motor started to get warm. This didn’t affect the shaft but it made me a little nervous about how it would go six more hours without overeating. It ended up not lasting that long.
When the thrusting begins, it’s so strong that it can feel difficult to hold in place. If you can’t hold it correctly, it will just feel like the silicone dildo is pushing out of you rather than into you. Using enough lube to make it smoothly glide is key.
If you don’t like having to hold it in place, buying a dildo attachment like the suction cup base can be a lifesaver. It was quite sturdy, but the dildo was so heavy that even with the heavy-duty suction cup, it sagged ever so slightly. However, on the floor, the suction cup shined. It was able to keep the thrusting sex toy in exactly the right spot for hands-free use. Out of all the attachments, the suction cup was my fave.
Packaging
Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime’s packaging is basic but adequate. It comes with the toy and the charging cord, and that’s about it (image below). Since it’s such an expensive product it would be nice if it came with a sample of lube so that you could try it out right away or a storage bag to keep the toy in tip-top shape.
Design
Velvet Thruster’s design is truly unique because the toys are meant to be customized. You can buy some of them preconfigured, like the Nanci, but you still get to choose the colors that you like. Nanci’s design is particularly unique because it looks muscular, like a bicep rather than a cock. It’s a fun change and aesthetically pleasing.
One small thing I noticed was that the cover slipped off during the battery test (image below). So if you use it too roughly, keep in mind that the cover may slip off. Nanci’s design is good. The toy seems well-made and like it will last a long time as long as you use it gently and take care to store it well. The replaceable shafts make the design a little less stable. It is easy to put on and take off—perhaps too easy, as with a lot of friction it can tend to slip.
The design also has some difficult-to-clean holes like the battery hole. This is part of what makes it not waterproof, and a lot of brands have found ways around this. A minor tweak to the design to make it a bit more water-resistant would add a lot of functionality and make it easier to clean.
The stroke length varies depending on which information you’re looking at. The box says it’s 3.2″; the website says 3.5″.
Material
The body-safe silicone used to make this toy is truly silky-soft; it’s not just advertised that way. Silicone dildos have a good reputation in terms of being a good material in the sex toy industry. It feels exquisite and durable, perfect for what you want in a luxury product.
You can read more in our guide about sex toy materials.
Stimulations
The thrusting intensity on Nanci was excellent. If you want something that will make your G spot beg for mercy, this might be the toy for you. (In the image below, you can see the thrusting vibrator fully extended).
Sound Level
You can’t have a lot of power without a little sound. This sex toy is a bit noisy but it’s commensurate with how intense the thrusting is. You may want to use this when no one is home if you have thin walls or nosy roommates.
When I tested it, the sound ranged from 57 to 68 decibels.
Build Quality and Dimensions
This is a medium-sized toy, perfect for people who love mid-range sizes (I compare it to its cousin Mini Teddy in the image below for size reference). It’s not super girthy or overly long but the head will have no problem locating your G-spot and rubbing against it for hours, if that’s your thing. (We talk more about choosing the best dildo size in this article).
If you feel like toys tend to catch against your pubic bone, this head shape won’t work for you. The head shape is meant for internal pinpoint stimulation so that the shape may butt up slightly against that bony area.
Ease of Use
Nanci is fairly easy to use. It has a power button for turning it on or off (circled in the image below), and plus and minus buttons for adjusting the speed levels, which means you only have three control buttons to learn.
The only slightly confusing thing about the controls of the self-thrusting toy is that when you press the power button to turn it off, it will continue to thrust for three more seconds. That means it’s not incredibly stealthy if you’re masturbating secretly and need it to stop immediately.
However, there’s a method behind this madness. During those three seconds, you can press the power button again to stop the thrusting dildo in whichever position you want it to stay in. So, if space is an issue, you can stop it at its most compact. Or, if it’s time for a wash, you can stop it while it’s fully extended and easier to clean.
Overall, the Velvet Thruster Nanci is moderately easy to use.
Versatility
Nanci isn’t incredibly versatile. It has jaw-dropping G spot thrusting capability, but that’s about it. It doesn’t have any clitoral stimulation, but that’s a common theme amongst prime thrusters. But you can use it as a prostate thruster for anal play, though the force was too much for me, even at the lowest speed. However, it would be great for experienced anal enthusiasts who don’t mind fast and intense experiences. (If you want broader options, check out the best anal dildos we recommend.)
However, with the attachments, the Velvet Thruster Nanci becomes much more versatile. (In the image above, you can see me testing Nanci’s suction cup base on my toilet seat cover.)
Warranty and Support
Velvet. Co offers what they call a “tip-to-tail” warranty for one year from the date of purchase of the Velvet Thruster Nanci.
Other Velvet Prime Shaft/Head Choices
The Velvet Prime name is technically an umbrella term that encompasses what is essentially a build-your-own-thrusting dildo. You can choose the head type as well as the Prime’s base for a truly customizable experience. There are many different preconfigured Velvet Thrusters, all with different names, and they’re not all the same size, so you’ll want to check out the measurements carefully. Below you can see how the other Prime Thrusters compare to the Nanci.
Velvet Thruster Prime Sammie
Sammie is the biggest of the original Velvet Thrusters, weighing in at 7″ of insertable length and 1.85″ of girth. It’s large and flexible, but not as flexible as some of the other original Velvet Thrusters since it’s so thick. If you like size, this is the model you want to invest in. You can grab a Sammie for $255.
When it comes to thickness, make sure to check some of the best thick dildos we reviewed. You can also read my complete review of Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime here.
Velvet Thruster Prime Walter
Of the Velvet Thrusters, the Prime Walter is the only one meant purely for anal use. It looks like an anal bead toy, with each successive bead getting larger. Having large beads thrusting at top speeds of up to 140 strokes per minute seems like an activity that should be reserved for ultra-advanced anal enthusiasts. Since it’s not a smooth surface, the experience is guaranteed to be intense. You can grab one for $245.99
Velvet Thruster Prime Jackie
The Velvet Thruster Jackie has the same realistic shape as the larger Sammie, but it has less girth. Both original Velvet Thruster models have 7″ insertable lengths, but this one is less girthy than the Velvet Thruster Nanci. The Jackie Prime costs $266.
We also made a review of the most realistic dildos you can check out if you prefer sex toys leaning on the side of realism. You can read our complete review of Jackie Velvet Thruster Prime here. We also have Velvet Thruster reviews of all the shafts here.
Accessories
Prime Suction Cup Base
Velvet Thruster offers several accessories that you can pair with Nanci to increase its functionality. For one, there’s the suction cup attachment that connects to the base and will suction against any flat surface. This is perfect for people who have a grip or reach issues and want a toy that won’t require constant hand use. The suction cup base is easy to use and sturdier than I expected. You can see me testing the suction cup on my bathroom wall below. The suction cup costs $24.50 and is sold separately.
Long-Reach Handle
Next is the long-reach handle (image below) which sells for $33.50. The handle attaches to the base of the Velvet Thruster Prime and is a game changer for anyone who has a larger belly, short arms, or doesn’t like to curl up into a c shape during masturbation. The long-reach handle is L-shaped, so it can angle around your belly and keep your arm in a restful position. The handle is easy to grip and allows you to lie in a more comfortable position, making long self-pleasure sessions more accessible.
Partner Play Handle
The Partner Play Handle (image below) costs $32.50 and gives your partner the ability to grip the Velvet Prime from a further distance. Unlike the Long Reach Handle, the Partner Play Handle is not L-shaped but is a straight handle.
Additional Charger
Last among the accessories is an extra charger you can buy, which costs $20 (image below).
Minor Issues I Found During Testing
Though this is an excellent sex toy, there were a few issues that raised my eyebrows throughout the testing process. For one, Nanci is rather expensive for such minimal packaging—a more giftable experience or a storage bag would be an appreciated upgrade. Next, the cover slips off occasionally, so you’ll want to keep that in mind when you use it.

Who Should Try It
If you want serious power and battery life that can overwhelm your G spot, look no further. The Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime was made for you. It’s excellent and works with several attachments like the suction cup, so this will also be an excellent toy for people who want this toy to work for their partners, too, as it can work for penises with certain accessories that you can buy separately.
Who Can Skip It
This toy isn’t an ideal first foray into G-spot toys. If you are unsure about G-spot stimulation, start with a cheaper, gentler toy, like the Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl. If you need dual stimulation to reach climax, this one will probably be too much to handle to pair with another toy, and you’ll have more fun with something that can provide both, like the Lelo Soraya Wave.

Velvet Mini Teddy
The Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy is one of the many thrusting dildos in the Velvet Prime family. The Mini Thruster is smaller than the Velvet Thruster Nanci but they have a lot of the same functions. One of their differences is that the Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy has a more realistic shape and looks like an anatomical penis. The Velvet Thruster Mini only has a 2.5″ stroke length and reaches only 128 strokes per minute, slightly slower than the Nanci. Any of the mini thrusters are much smaller than the other Velvet Thruster toys, so they’re great for newbies. The mini thrusters are also a great choice for travel.
You can grab a Mini Teddy for $166. You can read our full Velvet Mini Teddy review here.
Velvet Thruster Teddy
Like the Velvet Thruster Nanci, the Velvet Thruster Teddy comes with different options. The original Velvet Thruster Teddy comes in a few different iterations: the Teddy GS, the Teddy XL, and the Teddy TX.
The Teddy TX is meant to be an entry-level thrusting dildo, perfect for people looking to explore. Teddy TX has a 5″ length inserted, and it goes up to 130 strokes per minute. The Teddy TX costs $166.
The Teddy GS is much larger, less realistic looking, and has a squared-off head. The lack of a subtle ridge puts extra pressure on your G spot, thus the name: GS. It’s smaller than some of Velvet Thruster’s other toys, and the base is like a suction cup, perfect for hands-free use. The Teddy GS costs $182.
Teddy XL is the largest, and its long head makes for excellent G-spot stimulation. The Teddy XL looks realistic and costs $182.
Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl
The Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl thrusting rabbit vibe is much gentler and slower than any of the Velvet Thruster options. It feels like a nap compared to the Velvet Thruster Nanci. The Greedy Girl is also made of medical-grade silicone and is perfect for solo play. However, it’s waterproof, has a travel lock, comes with a storage bag, and offers dual stimulation, so your clit won’t feel left out.
You can grab a Greedy Girl for $140. You can read our full Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl review here.
Motorbunny Buck
The Motorbunny Buck is a full-sized sex machine and an intimidating one at that. It’s not a handheld fucking machine, but a saddle vibrator with approximately one million attachments you can buy to use with it. It thrusts, it vibrates, it comes with metal eyelets so you can tie up your sub, and it has an app game that pairs with it. There’s nearly nothing the Motorbunny Buck doesn’t do, except work for those on a budget.
You can purchase one for $1,650. You can read our full Motorbunny Buck review here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What Is the Best Lube for this toy?
The Velvet Thruster Nanci Prime is made of silicone, so steer clear of silicone lube which can damage the coating and make the cover porous. Once the toy is porous, it will hang on to bacteria and become impossible to sterilize. A better choice is a water-based lube, which is not always as slippery but is safe for the surface. Reapply as necessary to keep things comfortable.
Is Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime Waterproof?
No, the Velvet Thruster Prime Nanci is not waterproof, so you’ll need to take extra care when washing it and remember not to bring it in the tub or shower.
How Do I Charge Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime?
Perhaps the most shocking thing about the Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime is that the user manual suggests that it will last eight hours on just a 30-minute charge time. I’ve never seen that charge-to-use ratio with a sex toy, and it would be impressive on a much weaker vibrator let alone a super-powered thrusting machine. When I tested it I found that it lasted four hours and fifteen minutes and took two hours and three minutes to charge. You can see the device charging in the image below.
How Do I Clean Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime?
Cleaning Nanci is slightly trickier than cleaning many sex toys because it’s not waterproof. To clean, you’ll want to stop her when she’s at her longest length to help smooth out the folds in the silicone cover. Then, tilt it down so that you can avoid the battery hole, and wash gently with warm water and antibacterial soap. Sex toy cleaner is also a great option.
Make sure to check our thorough guide for sex toy cleaning here.
How Do I Store Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime?
If you don’t have a sex toy storage box, you may want to invest in an extra-large makeup bag to keep this thing usable for years to come. It doesn’t come with a storage bag but will need some protection from the elements.
You can read more about sex toy storage here.
Is the Packaging Discreet?
Yes, the Velvet Thruster company goes to great lengths to ensure discreet shipping. All of their products are shipped from a warehouse in Brooklyn, NY, and will say “VHC LLC” on the label. The products come shipped in a plain brown cardboard box. Lastly, the statement on your credit card will read Velvet Co. When buying sex machines, it doesn’t get any more discreet than that!
