Does the idea of a giant thrusting dildo turn you on or intimidate you? If you fall into the first category, the Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime may be what you need for your collection. The Velvet Thruster collection is basic a build-your-own-dildo setup, and the Sammie shaft is the biggest. The silicone shaft is removable from Prime’s base, so you can choose your dildo attachment and build the sex machine of your dreams. These self-thrusting dildos are perfect for partnered or solo play, but I wanted to find out if the thrusting speed and intensity were as powerful as they sounded. Join me for my Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime review as I find out how intense this toy is.
The Sammie is one of the biggest, most intense, and budget-friendly (compared to others in its class) realistic thrusting dildo money can buy. If it’s the size that you prize, the Sammie Velvet Thruster is a must for your sex toy collection. The quality, versatility, and rechargeability make this an impressive dildo for those who can’t deny that bigger is better.
Who is This For? If you’ve tried smaller, weaker thrusting dildos and they’ve left you frustrated, this is the perfect upgrade. It’s versatile and is perfect for someone who wants to use a dildo hands-free.
Who Can Skip This? If you’re new to G-spot stimulation, the Sammie is going to be overwhelming if not injurious. Starting with a smaller size like the Nanci, the Jackie, or the Teddy TX is a better way to go. Further, if you need clitoral stimulation or dual stimulation, this toy doesn’t provide that. And it’s a strong and heavy enough toy that it wouldn’t be incredibly easy to pair with another toy (unless you get the suction cup attachment and are using it hands-free). For a clitoral stimulation toy, you may want to try the Dame Pom, or for dual stimulation, consider the Lelo Soraya Wave.

What Is the Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime?
The Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime is a realistic, large thrusting dildo. It is flexible yet firm, and it’s rechargeable. The base packs a punch and can get up to a speed of over 140 strokes per minute. This toy is for extremists who want to take G-spot stimulation to a new level.
First Impressions and Features
Unboxing
I received the Sammie as an accessory to another toy, so I didn’t get the full unboxing experience. But, in general, the Velvet Thruster collection comes in cardboard boxes that are sturdy and have the information you need. They don’t scream “giftable” the way some other brands’ packaging does, but they don’t look cheap, either.
Features
The Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime has an impressive resume of features, including:
- Soft, durable silicone exterior
- Customizable colors and attachments that make the toy oh-so versatile
- 3.5” stroke length
- Top speed reaches over 140 strokes per minute
- Can flex up to 90 degrees while at its longest length
- Rechargeable battery with a lengthy battery life

How To Use Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime?
The Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime isn’t a complex dildo to use but it will take some time to get started. Before you get started, you should wash and charge it. Since it’s a larger dildo, you’ll want to warm up first. Relaxing helps, too, so consider meditating, taking a bath, listening to audio erotica—whatever gets you in the mood for some intense G-spot pounding.
When you’re ready to go, grab your favorite water-based lube and lube yourself and the toy up. If this is your first larger-sized toy, you may want to start with a smaller toy first. Then, once you’re ready for more, you can size up to the Sammie. The button on the front is the power button. Press this to turn the toy on or off. There are two buttons on the back: a plus button that increases the speed and a minus button that decreases the speed.
Note that when you press the power button to turn the toy off, it will take a few seconds before stopping. If you press the off button again, the toy stops immediately. This feature is so that you can stop the toy at the length of your choosing. If you want to store it, you may want to turn it off at its smallest length to conserve space. If you want to clean it, you should turn it off at the longest length so that it stretches the nooks and crannies flat for easier cleaning.

My Personal Experience
Trying the Sammie Velvet Thruster was a ton of fun. I had already had the opportunity to try two other Prime Thrusters—the Nanci and the Jackie—earlier, and I was beyond impressed with those sex machines. They were so versatile and powerful, and they were able to deliver G-spot stimulation for over four hours on a single charge.
But when testing a portable sex machine, size matters. I knew that Sammie would be different because he had such a long head and heavy body. The other Thruster sex toys were smaller and lighter. To get a good sense of this thrusting toy, I wanted to test it with all the attachments—and I did.
This self-thrusting toy worked well with all of them except for the suction cup. Though it was fine on the ground, anywhere else it seemed to sag a bit because the suction cup couldn’t quite hold it up. If the suction cup is the main way you want to use this toy, you might want to try one of the Mini Thrusters, the Nanci, or the Jackie, so that it pairs a bit better with the suction cup. If you want broader options, you’ll find more alternatives in this suction cup dildo guide.
I was impressed by the battery life, but I knew I would be going in. When I tested the other Original Velvet Thrusters, the thrusting dildo’s base was the same, and so was the battery life.
That’s one of the things I liked best about this thrusting dildo and all of the Prime Thrusters. They’re very customizable. If you get tired of one thrusting dildo, you can take off the removable shaft and replace it with something else.
When I tested the Sammie, I realized the main difference was that it felt capable of deeper thrusts. The smooth surface made the speed and stroke length much more comfortable.
Was Sammie my favorite choice of the shaft from the Velvet Prime collection? No, it wasn’t. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you love giant dildos and intense thrusting, this should be a selling point. I typically enjoy smaller heads, so the fact that it’s not at the very top of my list is a testament to its size and power.
Packaging
The Velvet Thruster Prime packaging comes with the basics, and the basics only. Inside, you’ll find the toy and a charging cord. Since this toy is on the higher end of the price spectrum, it would be a nice touch if a sample packet of lube was included.
Design
Sammie’s design is excellent. Sex toys that come with multiple heads or extensions are difficult to put together well. Often, the seams won’t line up or one head type will fit a bit better than another. That’s not the case with this collection. Even though you can purchase different shafts and attachments, the design is so flawless that it straddles the line of easy to put on while maintaining a perfect fit. 10/10!
As you can see in the image above, a lot of thought went into making this dildo realistic. The veins and head shape are realistic, even if the size is a bit optimistic. However, the colors aren’t realistic too—there’s not even an option for a realistic color. I think it might have been a bit more thoughtful to make some of the colors flesh-toned rather than mint and lilac to further cater to the crowd who wants something real. As is, only the design is realistic and not the color.
Material
The Sammie shaft is made from body-safe medical-grade silicone. It’s silky soft, which is a must when the strokes are this intense and the size is this impressive.
Stimulations
Powerful stimulations are what the Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime is all about. The stimulations are incredible. Even though you don’t have to plug this toy into the wall, they are fast and furious (perhaps even 2 fast, 2 furious). These stimulations are some of the most intense I’ve experienced and will cater to the thrill-seeking sex toy crowd. In the image below, you can see the shaft fully extended.
Sound Level
You can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs, and likewise, you can’t get a high-powered thrusting toy that’s silent. Not yet, anyway. Though this toy is nowhere near silent, it’s not so noisy as to be obtrusive. When I tested it, the decibels ranged from 59 – 67, which is a little louder than the equivalent of a normal conversation.
If you’re worried about the noise, turn on the TV or some music, and keep your door closed. If your family or roommates suspect something, just tell them you’re learning how to use a sewing machine—at least, that’s how it sounds to me!
Build Quality and Dimensions
As I mentioned in the design section, the build quality is excellent. This is a toy I can see lasting for years to come. The dimensions are intimidating but doable. This is a larger-sized toy, so if that’s not what you’re looking for, try the Nanci (left below) or the Jackie (right below) instead. Or if you don’t mind losing the thrusting feature, you can get yourself a small dildo instead. You can find the best small dildos in this article.
Ease of Use
This toy is somewhat easy to use. It only has three buttons, so you won’t need a doctorate in giant-dildonomy to operate it. The power button turns it on, and the plus and minus buttons adjust the speed. Charging it is simple, too.
However, it’s not very easy to clean since it’s not waterproof. For waterproof dildos, check some of the great silicone dildos we ranked in this roundup.
Versatility
This toy is somewhat versatile. It doesn’t offer clitoral stimulations, but the incredible amount of attachments that you can pair with it means this is a toy that can grow with you. You can start with a smaller shaft before moving on to the bigger ones like Sammie.
Warranty and Support
Velvet Co. offers a “tip-to-tail” warranty for a year after the purchase date. This means that they will replace the product and you only need to cover the shipping.
Other Velvet Prime Shaft/Head Choices
The Velvet Co. is set up so that you can buy a preconfigured dildo, or you can use your imagination and make one yourself! Below are some of the other shaft/head choices they offer so that you can customize the sex toys you buy. They differ in size and shape, but the material and the thrust speed will remain the same.
Velvet Thruster Nanci
The Velvet Thruster Nanci is a smaller option compared to the Sammie. Nanci has a squared-off head that’s intended to keep constant pressure on your G spot no matter how you have the rest of the sex machine angled.
Depending on how your body is shaped, the Velvet Prime Nanci’s thrusting motion can cause an uncomfortable sensation against your pubic bone. If that has happened with other thrusting toys, it will likely happen with this one too. But many people like the additional sensation of the hooked head. You can check the full review of Nanci Velvet here.
Velvet Thruster Jackie
The Jackie Prime is the thrusting sex toy most similar to the Sammie. They have the same realistic shape, but Jackie’s is on a smaller scale. Jackie has a subtle ridge, adding to the pleasure of this handheld fucking machine.
If you lean on the side of realism, don’t miss our review of the most realistic dildos. But if you want to stick with Jackie, you can read our complete review of Jackie Velvet Thruster Prime here for more in-depth information. We also have a complete Velvet Thruster Prime review here.
Velvet Thruster Walter
Last on the list of Velvet Thrusters is the Velvet Thruster Prime Walter, a silicone dildo shaft that is shaped like anal beads. Safe for anal play, this fucking machine will give your backside the ride of its life with impressive speed and power.
Accessories
All of the following accessories are compatible with the Velvet Thrusters silicone dildo collection, but they are sold separately.
Prime Suction Cup Base
The Prime Suction Cup Base is a real arm saver. This suction cup attachment sticks firmly on whatever flat surface you place it, though it does its best work when it’s on the ground and has gravity’s help. This is especially the case with the Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime since it’s a heavier dildo. If you place it on a wall or another vertical surface where the toy will stick straight out, its weight causes it to sag a bit and not feel as sturdy. Place it on the floor, a hard chair, or a toilet seat, and you’re in business! The Prime Suction Cup Base costs $24.50.
Long Reach Handle
The Long Reach Handle isn’t just for those with short arms—it’s for anyone who hates crouching to hold a dildo in place. This extra-long handle means your posture won’t suffer just because you like to have long solo play sessions. It’s an L-shape so that the pressure is off and you can lie in any comfortable position. The Long Reach Handle costs $33.50.
Partner Play Handle
The Partner Play Handle sticks straight out rather than being L-shaped like the prior handle. Buying this attachment and handing it to your partner is a great way to let your partner take the reins and pleasure you. This handle will set you back $32.50.
Additional Charger
The additional charger is pretty self-explanatory. If you lose your charger, you’re not out of luck or bound to develop carpal tunnel syndrome. You can just buy another one without taking on the expense of a new toy. It costs $19.99
Minor Issue I Found During Testing
I found that the Velvet Thruster’s Sammie is a little expensive for the packaging, especially since it’s missing a storage bag. If you find Sammie a little too rich for your blood, you can find a better option in our best thrusting dildo review.

- Battery life is mind-blowing
- The Velvet Thrusters collection is almost endlessly customizable, making this a very versatile toy
- Six speeds
- Great for hands-free use with the suction cup base

Cons
- At $254.98, Sammie is firmly in the luxury category
Who Should Try It
If you’ve tried smaller, weaker thrusting dildos and they’ve left you frustrated, this is the perfect upgrade. It’s versatile and is perfect for someone who wants to use a dildo hands-free.
Who Can Skip It
If you’re new to G-spot stimulation, the Sammie is going to be overwhelming if not injurious. Starting with a smaller dildo like the Nanci, the Jackie, or the Teddy TX is a better way to go.
Further, if you need clitoral stimulation or dual stimulation, this toy doesn’t provide that. And it’s a strong and heavy enough toy that it wouldn’t be incredibly easy to pair with another toy (unless you get the suction cup attachment and are using it hands-free). For a clitoral stimulation toy, you may want to try the Dame Pom, or for dual stimulation, consider the Lelo Soraya Wave.

Velvet Mini Teddy
The Mini Teddy is a lot like the Sammie but, well, smaller. The Thruster Mini is a great introduction to thrusting toys. It will let you get your feet wet without feeling intimidating. And the Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy is slower and has a shorter stroke length, but it costs just $166.
If the idea of power and thrusting appeals to you, it’s an excellent device. Women who can achieve vaginal orgasms will also be impressed by this one. You can read our full Velvet Mini Teddy review here.
Velvet Thruster Teddy
The Velvet Thruster Teddy comes in three different sizes: the Teddy GS, the Teddy XL, and the Teddy TX. Meanwhile, the Teddy TX is technically part of the Velvet Prime Mini Thruster collection and is a much smaller version of the Original Velvet Thrusters. The Teddy TX costs $166. The Teddy XL is—you guessed it—extra large, and it costs $182. If you want something bigger than the extra large, check out the best and thickest dildos we tested here.
The Teddy GS just wants to focus on your G spot, which is how it got its name. The head is shaped like Nanci’s squared-off head, so the Teddy GS can amp up the G-spot stimulation. Teddy GS is perfect for people who don’t care as much about size but want intense G-spot stimulation. The Teddy GS also costs $182.
The Velvet Thruster Teddy dildos are preconfigured, so you can’t remove the shaft and use them with other Velvet Prime fucking machines.
Motorbunny Buck
The Motorbunny Buck is a full-sized sex machine—not one that is handheld. It’s the opposite of the Velvet Thruster Mini or even the Teddy GS. This toy is faster, harder, and louder than any I’ve experienced. The features are unbelievable, but the Buck costs $1,650.
Orgy hosts should buy a Motorbunny so they’re never caught empty-handed (or empty-saddled, rather) when the dinner party devolves into debauchery. Want to learn more? Read our full Motorbunny Buck review here.
Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl
The Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl is a much smaller toy, more like the mini thrusters than the Motorbunny Buck. It’s gentler and slower than the Velvet Thrusters, and it doesn’t put as much pressure on your G spot as the Teddy GS. It doesn’t come with a suction cup, but it delivers clitoral stimulation. You can grab one for $140.
If you’re looking for an excellent rabbit and thrusting combo or a gift for a fan of the series, look no further. You’ve finally found your soulmate in sex toy form! You can read our Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl review here to learn more about this product.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime Waterproof?
No, the Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime is not waterproof. The Sammie shaft is waterproof, once you’ve removed it from the toy. But once it’s on the toy, it’s not waterproof and you should steer clear of any seriously wet situations that would submerge the toy.
How Do I Charge Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime?
Charging the Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime is easy. It comes with a USB charging cable. Plug the cable into the port and into the hole on the back of the toy, underneath the plus and minus buttons. The charger will light up red while it’s charging.
The toy lasts a fairly long time, too, and has an excellent battery life. Though it doesn’t take only 30 minutes to charge as the instruction manual suggests, it takes about two and a half hours to charge. After a full charge, it can last over four hours, which is an incredible amount of time to keep up that much power.
How Do I Clean Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime?
You’ll need to be careful when you clean the Sammie to avoid damaging it since it’s not waterproof. For everyday cleaning, turn the toy off when it’s fully stretched out. Then tilt it down and wash carefully with soap and water or sex toy cleaner, ensuring you avoid the battery opening.
For a detailed cleaning, take the Sammie shaft off of the toy and wash it inside and out with antibacterial soap and warm water. Then, let it dry on a lint-proof towel. Read our thorough guide for sex toy cleaning here.
How Do I Store Sammie Velvet Thruster Prime?
Sammie doesn’t come with a storage bag, so you’ll need to get creative. A large makeup bag may do the trick. You can read more about how to store your thrusting dildo here.
Is the Packaging Discreet?
The Velvet Co. packaging is as discreet as you’ll find. Anything you order from them comes in a plain, brown cardboard box, and the shipping label lists “VHC LLC.” On your credit card statement, you’ll see a charge from “Velvet Co.” Unless someone looks these up, your secret is safe.
