14 Best Thrusting Dildos & Vibrators 2024, REALLY Tested [Video]

Featured image

Tired of doing all the heavy lifting? Thrusting dildos and vibrators provide a great hands-free thrusting solution. And unlike sex machines, you’re not going to break the bank. But which of the many models and brands should I buy?

After testing dozens of thrusting dildos and vibrators over a period of 6 months we firmly believe that Velvet Mini Teddy is this year’s stand-out product! One of the primary motivations was the impressive 2.5″ thrusting length – the longest among the models we reviewed. Its six speeds also stood out and give you an excellent range of settings which we think will satisfy the majority of users. Lastly, the suction cup base adds versatility, letting you enjoy the sensations completely hands-free. Overall, two thumbs up from the My Sex Toy Guide testing team!

Why You Should Trust Us

Rachel SommerHi, I am Rachel Sommer, Ph.D. and I have been a professional sex toy tester since 2016. Everything from regular dildos to thrusting models and even squirting toys, I’ve done it all. I am also a clinical sexologist and spent more than half of my adult life helping single people and couples identify problematic traits and work together to develop new ways to revitalize their sex life.

For this article, I spent 110 hours testing and researching thrusting dildos, including new entrants. I especially paid attention to customer reviews on major sex toy vendor sites and accounts from trendy forums. Lastly, I enlisted the help of the team at My Sex Toy Guide, which for this article were Sandra Larson and Shane Davis.

How We Picked the Products

For this article, I picked 42 of the most effective products I’ve used over the years. I also enlisted the help of my colleagues at My Sex Toy Guide, who helped me come up with new and exciting names for the review.

With the 42 dildos ready for testing, I laid out the ‘bare minimums’ to fellow sex experts, aiming to streamline the exercise. I also defined several test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100:

  1. Design. The top models are designed with your convenience in mind. For instance, G-spot stimulating toys feature a curved shaft and rounded head to precisely hit the sweet spots. Similarly, thrusting butt plugs have a flared base and pointed tip to enhance security and simplify insertion.
  2. Settings. Beyond the design, available settings were an essential part of the self-testing exercise. We paid attention to models with the most thrusting speeds. This way, one dildo could be used by different users, regardless of the experience.
  3. Stimulations. While we mainly focused on thrusting speeds, I recommended the team pay attention to models with more possibilities like pulsation and vibration settings. I thought the new forms of stimulation added a new dimension of pleasure to the experience.
  4. Build Quality. Besides the design, the quality is determined by the materials. The thrusters we reviewed had to be made from body-safe and hypoallergenic materials like silicone, TPE, and ABS plastic. The user’s safety and comfort were non-negotiable throughout the exercise.
  5. Charging. We also paid attention to products with rechargeable batteries. I believe they are more reliable and environmentally friendly.
  6. Special Features (app-control & long-distance control). Thrusting dildos and machines like the Hismith sex machine were pooled together to enhance the sex life of those living miles away from each other. With dedicated mobile apps simplifying long-distance control, we thought it was great to have something for everyone.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Stimulations (25%). After that comes Special Features (10%), Build Quality (10%), and Settings (10%).

After a 30-day testing exercise, the team came back with the findings. I brought in my fellow sexologists to help with the analysis, using comparison charts and expert recommendations to pick the best from the rest.

We went through major sex toy forums and read reviews from key vendor sites to understand what other sex toy users thought. Finally, we compiled this list of this year’s best thrusting dildos, and we believe your sex life will benefit from bringing one or two into the bedroom.

1. Velvet Mini Teddy: Our Overall Test Winner!

Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy

Why we love Velvet Mini Teddy:

Velvet Mini Teddy was the highest rated in most test categories and is thus this year’s best thrusting vibrator (and dildo). Our testers reported that Mini Teddy did an excellent job freeing their hands, so they could focus on other body parts during self-pleasuring and partnered sex, resulting in heightened sensations.

Let’s start with the most important area: the motor, where Mini Teddy’s was among the most powerful models we reviewed. “I especially loved the torque-oriented vibrations that sink deeper into the vaginal tissues”, our lead product tester Sandra Larson wrote in her test report. “Of course, it means people with sensitive clit or vaginal tissues will find it uncomfortable, but it’s the perfect choice for experienced folks looking for the most potent rumbles”, Sandra added.

Closeup of the control buttons

Something else that stood out about the Velvet Mini Teddy was its portability and ease of use. The testers found Mini Teddy comfortable to hold, thanks to the silky silicone finish and decent-size shaft. The suction cup base also simplified handling, while the intuitive 2-button interface (circled above) made it foolproof. Unlike the primarily single-button options we tested, cycling through the six thrusting speeds was much more manageable.

Moving on to the suction cup base which we rated as “Reasonably Strong”, especially in horizontal positions. “The thrusting suction cup dildo initially fell off, but a few drops of water on the surface made the suction more stable”, Rachel Sommer reported. In the image above, you can see Teddy mounted on my kitchen window.

Unfortunately, there’s no flirting with the Velvet Mini Teddy. It starts vigorously, and the rumbles pierce through to the core, even at the lowest settings. Jessica and I prefer a small clit vibrator for warm-up before turning the Mini Teddy on.

The testers categorized the thrusting length as adequate for most consumers. Everything from the 2.5″ thrusting length to complement the 5″ usable length to the fairly chunky yet beginner-friendly 1.5″ diameter stands out. With attractive features like multiple speeds, an intuitive interface, realistic detailing (image below), and a hands-free suction cup base, many people will enjoy using the Mini Teddy.

Closeup of the shaft and tip

Minor issues we found during testing:

Our main concern was the annoying noise, especially when I cranked the Thruster to the highest settings. The whirring sounded like a sewing machine.

Velvet Mini Teddy’s torque-based vibrations might not be ideal for beginners or people with sensitive clit and vaginal tissues. You might have to use a gentler vibrator, like Lovense Gravity below, for preparation before introducing this rumbly toy.

Why Velvet Mini Teddy is our overall test winner:

  • Stimulations: The testers thought Mini Teddy’s six thrusting speeds felt incredible. Although they’re vigorous from the get-go, you can feel the alternation as you move from one to another.
  • Ease of Use: The team gave Mini Teddy an average score of 97%, making it the easiest-to-use model in this article. Its 2-button interface and suction cup base garnered positive reviews and were described as strategic design tweaks that made it easy to use and foolproof.

  • Material: Medical-Grade Silicone

  • Impressive battery life – more than two hours.

Cons:

  • It can be too intense for people with sensitive bits.
  • The whirring noise can be annoying.

2. Lovense Gravity: App-Controlled Model!

Lovense Gravity

Why we love Lovense Gravity:

Lovense Gravity is our preferred option for long-distance couples and those who want to try public play. The primary reason is the Lovense Remote app (screenshots below), which remains the most effective mobile app in the sex toy industry. The intuitive app features bells and whistles, including customized patterns, sound-activated rumbles, music sync, and real-time remote control.

The testers found the app very resourceful for close-range and long-distance control. “Jessica and I have used it multiple times, and the 25 feet Bluetooth Range is always great because it means we can use Gravity from different parts of the house”, Rachel Sommer reported.

Screenshots from the Lovense smartphone app

The connection felt solid and robust, as long as both parties had a stable internet connection. The mobile application even has a Live Control Option that lets you regulate your partner’s Lovense toys from anywhere in the world with the press of a button. With the intuitive interface, we found the experience flawless whenever we shared the command from miles away. Nice design overall!

Besides the 5.12″ insertable length, the Lovense Gravity’s 1.18″ thrusting length felt great. While some testers felt it could be longer, the integrated vibrating motor made the experience more thrilling. “I enjoyed using the vibrations to stimulate the clit before turning on the thrusting action for g-spot stimulation”, Sandra Larson told me.

Gravity with the control buttons

Let’s talk about the motor and vibrations next. Most team members felt the independent thrusting and vibration control were great and would be enough for the majority of customers. Some reported that they preferred the vibrations for external stimulation and thrusting for internal probing but the opinions were mixed.

Rachel Sommer summarized her experience like this: “I need simultaneous clit and G-spot stimulation to cum, and I have to pair it with a clit suction toy. However, Jessica is different and draws enough pleasure to orgasm from G-spot stimulation alone. Even with a single motor, the vibrations are more than enough. You can always alternate between the two because Lovense’s independent control makes it much more manageable.”

Lovense Gravity attached to the box

My colleagues appreciated the extra-strong suction cup base that screws to the base. Especially with the smooth, bendable silicone shaft, riding the Lovense Gravity was bliss. In the image above, you can see me testing the suction cup strength. Lastly, the device is waterproof, allowing you to explore shower and bath fun seamlessly.

Pro Tip: Secure the lid (circled below) before using Gravity in the shower or bath. Using it unsecured exposes the dildo to water damage.

Closeup of the shaft

Minor issues we found during testing:

I was frustrated with the charger. The cable frequently detaches during charging, which beats the purpose of having a magnetic connection.

The 1.18″ stroke length was short. I consider myself an experienced depth queen, and the thrusting length was too short, and I had to thrust it manually. And even then, the sex machine had a limited range of motion, regardless of how hard I tried to move it around.

In addition, the controls were unresponsive at times, and I had to press the buttons, hoping something would happen.

Why Lovense Gravity is the best for long-distance control:

Some of the standout features of Lovense Gravity included the following:

  • Special Features/App-Control: Gravity is compatible with our favorite sex toy mobile application, the Lovense Remote app (94% average score). Besides an intuitive interface, the smartphone app offers bells and whistles, including real-time long-distance control, music sync, and sound-activated rumbles.
  • Stimulations: Lovense Gravity has vibration capabilities to complement the thrusting movements. You can also control both functions independently for precise internal and external stimulation.

If you want to see what Lovense Gravity looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our complete Lovense Gravity review here.

Features:

  • Material: Medical-Grade Silicone
  • Diameter: 1.46″
  • Insertable Length: 5.12″

Pros:

  • Intuitive and resourceful Lovense app.
  • Modern, sleek design.
  • It has a suction cup base.
  • The mobile app lets you pair it with music and other sex toys for real-time synchronization.
  • Lovense Gravity is waterproof.

Cons:

  • The smooth texture might not be for everyone.
  • It’s only available in pink – not the most gender-inclusive color.

3. Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl: Dual Stimulation!

Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl Thrusting Rabbit Vibrator

Why we love Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl:

Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl is the top option for those after dual stimulation. It has two independent motors, one for the thrusting action and the other for the vibrations on the bunny ears which we thought did a great job stimulating their designated area.

Overall, we thought the efficiency and power were the best (97% average scores) among the thrusting rabbit vibrators we reviewed. The testers especially loved the flickering ears’ flexibility because they did a good job clamping against the clitoral hood for precise clitoral stimulation. The vibrations were also robust, making Greedy Girl perfect for even power-hungry consumers.

Greedy Girl with a ruler (not extended)

We also noted that the flickering ears got buzzier as the settings racked up. Even the lowest setting had a hint of buzz, which we preferred for external stimulation.

The testers noted Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl had a great range of settings. Like the rabbit ears, the shaft had three speeds. Beyond that, there were nine vibration patterns, making up to 36 possible combinations – the most amongst the thrusting dildos we reviewed.

Greedy Girl with a ruler (Fully extended)

The three thrusting settings did a decent job of mimicking penetrative sex, but not as well as the first two models on this list. But we liked that the change in intensity was trackable – “I enjoyed the joyride of swinging between the low, medium, and high speeds”, Sandra Larson wrote in her report.

Something else that stood out was the easy-to-use control interface. The two buttons near the base are sized differently, with the bigger one controlling the shaft movements and the smaller one regulating the bunny ears’ vibrations. The size difference made it easy to locate the buttons with my fingers, even in sex positions where I didn’t have a direct view of the action. This feature is great for those with mobility issues and is not something that we saw on the other models.

The content of the box

The travel lock feature comes in handy when traveling with Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl. Press and hold both buttons for two seconds to activate and deactivate the feature and enjoy buzz-free travel.

Lastly, the one hour and thirty-eight minutes battery life was impressive, especially for such a powerful thruster. And even with the responsive red light, which can be too bright when charging in a dark room, I loved Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl is not the quietest in town. It has mechanical whirring sounds, and you’ll have to get creative with music or a duvet to keep your affair private.

Something else that wasn’t very pleasant was the bright red LED light when charging. Even when the battery was full, the green light made my bedroom look like it’d played host to an alien invasion. I had to charge it in the kitchen, preferably during the day, to have a good night’s sleep.

Why Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl is our rabbit vibrator pick:

I think these words from Rachel Sommer summarized pretty well why we liked Greedy Girl so much: “As you already know, I need simultaneous clit and G-spot stimulation to orgasm, and Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl did just that. I loved the well-thought-out measurements and powerful motors. Especially with the 3 speeds and 9 patterns for the flickering ears, it was the most exciting model I reviewed for this article.” Here are more reasons why we included it on this list:

  • Versatility: Most people need simultaneous clit and G-spot stimulation to orgasm, and Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl provided a fantastic blend of the two. The well-thought measurements meant everything was in the perfect place, leading to the best of both worlds – internal and external massage. The highest-rated on this list.
  • Settings: Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl had the most vibration combinations among the models we reviewed. Combining the versatility and multiple settings to explore placed the Greedy Girl on a pedestal.
  • Design: Besides the powerful dual motors, Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl’s independent control made it top this list. I loved that I could easily customize the settings depending on my mood and sexual desires. And with a 2-button interface, the user experience was exemplary.

If you want to see what the Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

  • Standout battery life.
  • The USB-rechargeable dildo has a travel lock feature.
  • It has an easy-to-use control interface.

Cons:

4. Lovense Sex Machine: Most Powerful!

Lovense sex machine

Why we love Lovense Sex Machine:

The Lovense Sex Machine is your best bet if you’re in the market for a dildo thrusting machine. Unlike the other fuck machines we reviewed, it had the most potent turbo gear motor. We’d be surprised if anyone walked away yearning for more power after using this Lovense Thruster.

Beyond the power, the sex machine has a unique dual-thrusting mechanism that lets you enjoy powerful self-thrusting from either end (image below). An average sex machine user might never use it, but kinky couples looking to explore the wild side will enjoy the dual-thrusting rods.

Lovense sex machine

Something else that stood out was the two adapters that make the fuck machine versatile. These adapters made it exceedingly easy to alternate between dildos and attachments. In addition, the machine is Vac-U-Lock compatible, allowing you to use it with multiple dildos and products in your collection.

The sex machine comes with two silicone dildos – differently sized- so you can switch between the two depending on experience and depth preference (image below). Unfortunately, the testers thought they felt a bit cheaply made and had a weird plasticky smell, so we used the ones in our existing collection.

The two Vac U Lock dildos

A significant feature was the compatible Lovense Remote app, offering a myriad of bells and whistles, including music sync and unlimited customization options. We especially loved how it demystified long-distance sex. While Jessica and I are rarely away from each other, I’d imagine couples always on the move will love it.

The  sex machine also has a dial controller (image below). Unlike the app, it doesn’t need Wi-Fi and is much quicker to connect and operate – a bonus for close-range couples. Of course, the app has more features and better versatility, but the classic dial controller is favored if you want quick thrusting action.

The remote control

Minor issues we noted found during testing:

The included dildos looked and felt poorly made, with a faint plastic smell. You might have to purchase Vac-U-Lock compatible dildos and attachments if you don’t have some in your collection.

I also noted that the machine was loud and unstable, especially when I cracked it up to the highest settings. It reminded me of my old washing machine.

Assembly took time – like other sex machines we reviewed. I was slightly annoyed because I had to unscrew the steel rods whenever I wanted to adjust the stroke length, which significantly affected the momentum.

Why the Lovense Sex Machine is the best thrusting dildo machine:

  • Design: The device is made from solid stainless steel rods, not the standard hollow pipes. The solid foundation and body make the Lovense sex machine durable (97% average score). In addition, the sex machine was the strongest thrusting dildo among the ones we reviewed.
  • Ease of Use: Lovense sex machine got the highest rating on the user experience front. Unlike other machines we reviewed, it offers multiple control options – a classic dial controller and a responsive smartphone app for simplified close-range and long-distance use.
  • Versatility: The manufacturers ensured users had the utmost versatility with the machine. Besides the two silicone dildos and adapters, the machine’s Vac-U-Lock design means you can use it with numerous dildos in your collection as long as they’re compatible.

If you want to see what the Lovense Sex Machine looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our Lovense sex machine review here.

Features:

  • Material: Stainless Steel (machine), Silicone (dildos)
  • Stroke Length: Up to 4.5″

Pros:

  • The most powerful device on this list.
  • You can regulate it with the Lovense Remote app – the top-rated sex toy application.
  • The thrusting sex machine has a dial controller for close-range use.
  • Vac-U-Lock compatible design.
  • Solid stainless steel enhances durability.
  • Striking dual-thrusting mechanism.

Cons:

  • The sex machine is more expensive than competing brands.
  • Assembly takes minutes. You must screw and unscrew the rods to adjust the thrusting length.

5. Liberator BonBon: Most Effective Hands-Free Mount!

Liberator BonBon with a mounted Vixskin dildo

Why we love Liberator BonBon:

If you’re looking for a well-made and versatile sex toy mount, we recommend Liberator BonBon. The mount holds your thrusting vibrator or dildo in place for a completely hands-free experience. Its 1.25″ – 3″ diameter means you can use it with multiple devices– it accommodates more than 85% of my dildo collection.

The testers loved the high-density foam (image below). It adds to the versatility aspect, doubling as a sex position enhancer. With the soft cover that feels great on bare skin, you can lie on the pillow for extended sessions without feeling uncomfortable.

BonBon without the outer cover

Unfortunately, the sex pillow’s height means you can’t use it solo. However, it complements coupled sex perfectly, raising the receiving partner’s thighs for better genital access and deeper penetration.

As we demonstrate in the image below, the slot’s about five inches deep but tight enough to prevent the dildo from wobbling during play. We usually place a sock at the bottom of the pouch to steal back an inch or two when thrusting, especially when not using an extra-long vibrator.

Closeup of the dildo mounting slot

BonBon has a moisture-proof liner between the foam core and outer cover to prevent sweat and other body fluids from soaking into the foam. The soft cover is also machine-washable, making it easy to maintain.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, BonBon is limited to thrusting dildos with a wireless remote control or a mobile application, like Lovense Gravity. The in-built control pad gets lost in the pouch, meaning you must remove it to regulate the settings and slide it back.

The pouch is incompatible with models that have realistic balls, flared bases, and suction cups. Those types are hard to insert.

Lastly, the mount is only available in one size and has a 300 lbs weight rating, phasing out obese individuals.

Why Liberator BonBon is our preferred mount for hands-free thrusting:

  • Design: Liberator BonBon’s velvety outer cover felt great against the skin. The high-density foam also holds your body weight without the annoying sinking common with most sex pillows in the price range. In addition, the mount’s pouch central positioning made it easy to use it from any side.
  • Versatility: Besides doubling as a sex positioning enhancer, Liberator BonBon’s pouch can accommodate thrusting dildos with a 1.25″ – 3″ diameter, giving you various options to explore.

If you want to see what Liberator BonBon looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our Liberator BonBon review here.

Features:

  • Material: Foam, Polyester, and Velvet
  • Dimensions: 15″ x 8.5″ x 12″

Pros:

  • High-density foam supports your body weight.
  • The versatile sex pillow holds 1.25 – 3” diameter dildos.
  • The soft outer cover is machine-washable.
  • Ideal for hands-free thrusting and coupled sex.

Cons:

  • Dildos with a flared base or realistic balls will not fit.
  • BonBon needs a hand to settle in one position, especially during internal stimulation.

6. Velvet Thruster Prime Nanci: G-Spot Stimulation!

Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime

Why we love Velvet Thruster Prime Nanci:

The Velvet Thruster Prime offers an array of options to choose from, including the Nanci attachment. Among the G-spot models we reviewed, Nanci performed better than the others thanks to its hook-like shape and breathtaking power.

Let’s talk about the design. We loved the thruster’s unique design and its flexibility for customization. Nanci came preconfigured, but you can always choose the details – everything from the color to the shaft and handle. Something that set Nanci apart was its more masculine look. Unlike other models that look like a cock, it has the build of a bicep (image below), a design tweak the team found aesthetically appealing.

Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime

The flexible shaft bends up to 90 degrees, making it easy to manipulate the product to get to the G-spot. Additionally, its 1.25″ broad hook-like head was another highlight of the review: it made it easy to strike the sweet spots with precise accuracy.

Note: The 7.25″ insertable length and 3.5″ thrusting length proved enough for precise depth play (you can see it fully extended in the image below). All the reviewers reported an exciting and successful experience with G-spot stimulation.

Nanci fully extended

My main concern with the design was the replaceable shafts. While they greatly enhanced the versatility aspect, they were easy to put on and take off. They tend to slip off under intense thrusting, which can be disappointing. In addition, the multiple difficult-to-clean holes, like the battery hole, make it not waterproof, something most sex toy users (if not all) want.

Moving on, we had a blast testing Nanci. The thrusting intensity was perfect, and it felt like the optimal choice for experienced folks looking for a powerful thruster to squeeze all the orgasms from their G-spot. We especially enjoyed the available selection of six thrusting speeds, with a maximum thrusting power of 140 strokes per minute.

Velvet Thruster Prime with the Long-Reach Handle accessory attached

Something else we liked about Nanci was the build quality. The series is anchored on a stable core with a selection of replaceable heads. Despite the accidental slipping off during intense use, the metrics pointed to a well-designed sex toy that’ll last a long time with the proper maintenance. In addition, the body-safe silicone material made Nanci silky-soft so that you can use it for extended sessions without discomfort.

Note: Nanci had the longest battery life among the models we tested. While it didn’t last as long as the website promised, it went for several hours without losing power or overheating, a positive feature and a testament to the phenomenal build quality.

Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime attached to my bathroom wall

Even without clitoral stimulation, we loved the available attachments because they made the thruster versatile. You could use it for anal stimulation, but most reviewers reported it as ‘too strong’ for backdoor exploration. Whether you want to add a suction cup base (like in the image above), a long-reach handle, or a partner play handle, the designers made it easy to customize and enhance the user experience, depending on whether you’re playing solo or with a partner.

With or without the attachments, the toy was reasonably easy to use. There are only three buttons: one to turn it on and off and the other two to go through the speed levels.

The content of the box

Note: It takes about three seconds for the self-thrusting toy to turn off once you press the power button. This can be incredibly counterproductive if you’re masturbating secretly and need to stop immediately.

Something else that made Nanci a standout thruster was the dynamic design. You can replace the shaft with the different heads in the Velvet Thruster Prime series – Jackie (realistic, Jackie Velvet Thruster Prime review here), Walter (anal use), and Sammie (large and flexible, Sammie review here). All these heads are compatible with Prime’s base, and you can customize your experience by picking either. You can see all the Prime heads and accessories in the image below.

All the heads and accessories for Velvet Thruster Prime

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the cover slips off occasionally. Keep that in mind when you use it. I noticed it during the battery test, so you must know that if you use it too roughly, you might have to take a small break to adjust the cover.

In addition, the toy is rather expensive. It costs about $250, which most people will consider too high, especially with the minimal packaging. Not only would a more giftable package make sense, but a storage bag would be a worthy upgrade. If you want a more affordable handle G-spot thruster, I recommend Teddy GS.

Why Velvet Thruster Prime Nanci is the best G-spot thruster:

  • Design: Nanci’s design was truly unique. Unlike other products that look like a cock, Nanci looked more like a bicep with a hook-like head for precise internal stimulation. The shaft’s flexibility of up to 90 degrees made it easy to manipulate the angles for maximum enjoyment. In addition, the 7.25″ insertable length and 3.5″ thrusting length proved long enough for precise depth play.
  • Build Quality: The Velvet Thruster Prime Nanci was the most effective G-spot thruster we reviewed. Everything from the body-safe silicone material to the stable core and customization options stood out. Despite the cover slipping from intense thrusting, the team thought Nanci felt sturdy enough. Most importantly, the battery lasted several hours without overheating or losing power.
  • Versatility: From the onset, Velvet Thruster’s inability to stimulate the clitoris took away some of the versatility points. While you can use it for backdoor exploration, the thrusting can be too much for most people. However, its compatibility with multiple accessories like the solo play and partner play handle and the suction cup base makes up for the lost points.

7. Velvet Thruster Prime: Most Customizable!

Nanci, Sammie, and Jackie

Why we love Velvet Thruster Prime:

The Velvet Thruster Prime is an umbrella term for a build-your-own thrusting dildo. The team was taken aback by the incredible versatility evident in the multiple head options. In addition, there were two colors to choose from and an extended selection of accessories.

Whether you fancy a flexible G-spot arm, a natural-looking head, a slimmer shaft, or a girthy vibrator for an exciting stretching experience, there’s something for everyone. There’s even an anal-bead-like model for backdoor exploration fans.

The following are the head options:

Velvet Thruster Nanci

The hooked head (image below) was a unique feature that made Velvet Thruster Nanci perfect for G-spot sensations. Unlike other internal stimulation models, the thruster’s flexible shaft had a 90-degree bend, making it easy to manipulate the product for the ultimate precision.

Something else that stood out was the powerful motor. Nanci is perfect for consumers looking for something intense and precise. It maintains contact with your G-spot regardless of the positions, meaning zero loss of intensity.

Nanci Velvet Thruster Prime

Note: The unique shape can sometimes bump into your pubic bone. If you have a sensitive G-spot or a pubic bone that juts out, you might find the sensations uncomfortable.

Velvet Thruster Sammie

Sammie’s dimensions make it perfect for girth play fans. The massive 1.85″ diameter and meaty, realistic shape (highlighted in the image below) enhance a gentle stretching experience. Advanced masturbators will enjoy the wide shaft and the comparatively long 7-inch insertable length. With the 3.5″ thrusting length, Sammie will get to your sweet spots without much effort. In addition, its flared base makes it anal sex-safe.

Sammie fully extended

Velvet Thruster Jackie

Thruster Jackie shares the same realistic design (image below) with Sammie but on a much smaller case. It’s the perfect addition to your sex toy collection if you enjoy realistic dildos in medium size. Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate user, you’ll love the thruster.

Jackie Velvet Thruster Prime

Unlike Thruster Sammie, Jackie’s smaller size works well with the suction cup base accessory, providing a quick fix for people seeking a hands-free experience.

Velvet Thruster Prime Frankie

Frankie’s long head and three ridges sit below it, making it stand out. The non-anatomical shaft is perfect for people that love sex toys that don’t look like a penis but still hand you repeated internal orgasms. We loved the smooth, rounded head because it made it easy to insert Frankie. In addition, the textured ridges make you feel like you’re getting a deep massage, making the thrusting experience more exciting.

Velvet Thruster Prime Walter

Walter is the perfect thruster dildo for anal play fans. The anal beads-like design, combined with a hefty motor with a top speed of 140 strokes per minute, make the sex toy ideal for backdoor explorers looking to take the experience to the next level. It’s compatible with different accessories, including the partner play handle, so your significant other can take over, leaving you to focus on other erogenous zones, leading to heightened sensations.

Velvet Thruster Edward

Despite the solo flesh-toned color, Edward from the Velvet Thruster series boasts a longer 8-inch insertable length and the most lifelike design of the bunch. We found it very flexible and easy to manipulate. More importantly, the extended shaft makes for incredible depth play sensations.

Velvet Thruster Auto-Solo

Did you think we’d forget penis owners? The Auto-Solo is made for people with a penis. Its auto-thrusting mechanism powers the back-and-forth movements, while the included stroker cup acts like a pocket pussy, providing a sloppy artificial vagina for heightened solo pleasure.

The textured silicone vagina was incredibly satisfying. More importantly, the universal adapter lets you switch it with a celebrity stroker cup.

Thruster Prime Accessories

One of the reasons why we believe the Velvet Thruster series is a worthy investment is the numerous options of compatible attachments. Some of our favorites include the following:

  • Suction cup base: Probably one of the most functional of the three accessories, the suction cup base lets you stick them on a flat surface, so you don’t have to do the heavy lifting. We loved the strong suction power, regardless of the scenery – whether you go with the shower wall or the hardwood floor, it felt firm.
  • Partner play handle: As the name suggests, the handle complements partner play. The straight, long handle makes it easy to hold the dildo in place during mutual masturbation or partnered sex. More importantly, the accessory is long enough to make it easy to use in different sex positions.
  • Long-reach handle: The L-shaped handle circles back to face the head, making it easy for the user to regulate the action. Whether you have back problems or not, the handle makes masturbation less strenuous and more enjoyable.

All the heads and accessories for Velvet Thruster Prime

Overall, the Velvet Thruster Prime series’ versatility spans across different facets. Everything from the replaceable heads to the numerous accessories, you can build your thrusting dildo quickly. In addition, the flexible shaft makes it easy to manipulate the thruster for intense and precise G-spot sensations.

Minor issues we found during testing:

The most significant concern was the pricing. The Velvet Thruster Prime series is comparatively pricey, and the accessories are sold separately.

Another concern was the minimal packaging. For a $250 product, we expected more luxurious packaging or even a cozy storage bag.

Why Velvet Thruster Prime is the most customizable:

  • Versatility: The Thruster Prime received the highest scores in the versatility test category. Unlike other thrusting models, the Prime has multiple head options, depending on your desired sensations. Whether you want a girthy, slim, curved, or anal-beads-like design, there’s something for everyone. In addition, you can pair it with different accessories to enhance the user experience. The suction cup base promotes hands-free pleasure and long-reach handles let you and your partner easily regulate the action.
  • Stimulations: The Prime’s powerful motor was another highlight of the review. Notably, the thrusters offered multiple speed levels, making it easy to customize the experience. With a top speed of 140 strokes, Prime can quickly move from a stuttering stroker to a high-speed sex machine with the press of a button.
  • Build Quality: The Velvet Thruster Prime series showcased outstanding build quality. The choice of materials and the stable core significantly improved durability and made the sex toy sturdy. The body-safe silicone felt great against the vagina, and the flexible body made it easy to manipulate Prime for maximum enjoyment.

8. Lovense Vulse: Our favorite Thrusting Egg!

Lovense Vulse

Why we love Lovense Vulse:

Among the stand-out features that drew us into the Lovense Vulse was versatility. If you’re only used to G-spot stimulation egg vibes that only vibrate, then you’ll really want to mix it up with a model that combines vibration and thrusting sensations. Unlike the regular egg vibrators we tested, Lovense Vulse provided multiple vibration and thrusting settings to explore. Although the bursts were shorter than the conventional thrusting dildos like the Velvet Mini Teddy, we enjoyed the bliss of hands-free stroking. Most importantly, the sensations made G-spot stimulation more precise and intense.

The vibrations were more buzzy than rumbly and didn’t feel as deep compared to the rumblier toys in the collection. Of course, most people prefer the latter, but the Lovense Vulse compensated with the thrusting feature. Combining the buzz with a maintained pattern of steady stroking action evened things out. “I loved how bliss the combined pleasure felt,” stated Sandra Larson. “Experimenting with different vibration and stroking patterns has helped me learn more about my body.”

Me demonstrating the thrusting feature

Let’s talk about the design. The team was highly impressed by the comfortable build. The tapered head made it easy to insert the toy into the vagina. In addition, we found the ridges non-invasive during insertion because they didn’t have a hold-back effect as anticipated. More importantly, it only took some light pushing and a drop of lube to slide it inside me swiftly. Once inside, the thrusting vibe felt secure and slipping out was never a worry. “I even had it as I wandered about outdoors, and it stayed in place,” comments Rachel Sommer. “The elongated tail doesn’t get in the way during use, and it felt sturdy enough, making it easy to control and retrieve it after use.”

Something else that stood out was Lovense Vulse’s phenomenal build quality. It felt squidgy, but the core was sturdy, and there were no doubts about its durability from the first time. More importantly, the product was coated in body-safe silicone, significantly simplifying the user experience and aftercare.

The content of the box

The testers highlighted how Vulse’s compatibility with the Lovense Remote app (image below) was a game changer. We found it easy to pair it with the toy. It took a few minutes to get everything set up, and the endless possibilities made the experience exciting. We reviewed multiple sex applications, but none came close to the Remote app’s efficiency and versatility.

Note: The Loop function offers a simplistic way to regulate the vibration patterns. It lets you cycle through the settings by scrolling on the screen with your finger. Besides making it easy to explore the vibrations, on-screen scrolling makes it easy to find out what works for you.

Screenshots from the Lovense Remote App

The mobile app offers numerous other fun motions. You can sync the vibration patterns and thrusting speeds to music and ambient sound. High-pitched songs seemed to work better because they made it easy to pick out the different sensations.

Pro Tip: You can also sync Lovense Vulse with your car. This way, the toy’s intensity increases the faster you go –ensure you’re the passenger and not the one driving.

The device charging

The Lovense Vulse noise rating was another feature we were eager to test. It clocked 62.5dB in low mode and 65.9dB in high mode. While the range is similar to a normal conversation, the thrusting feature has a humming noise that makes Vulse more ideal to use in the bedroom than outside. If you want a public play product, get the Lovense Lush 3, a similar-looking and equally powerful vibrating egg.

Minor issues we found during testing:

If this is your first G-spot stimulation model, I recommend going for something cheaper. In addition, I recommend starting with a single stimulation (preferably just vibrations) before moving on to a combination of rumbles and thrusts.

Unfortunately, you can’t control the thrusting and vibration functions separately. Moving one toggle on the screen adjusts both functions. We expected independent motor control with the mobile app but were surprised Lovense didn’t make it happen. It wasn’t a deal breaker for me, but I’d imagine people who’ve used other Lovense toys with the function will be disappointed.

Why Lovense Vulse is our favorite thrusting egg vibrator:

  • Stimulations: In a world of egg vibrators, Lovense Vulse stood out because of its unique combination of thrusting and vibration functions. The automated back-and-forth thrusts complement the often buzzy vibes, making for a formidable cocktail of orgasmic movements.
  • Design: Lovense Vulse’s comfortable design with a tapered head and rounded body simplified penetration. The ridges were non-invasive, allowing you to slide the egg for extended periods without discomfort. In addition, the silky, smooth silicone material felt incredible against the clit and vagina. Lastly, Vulse’s sturdy body with an elongated tail enhanced Bluetooth connectivity and made it easy to retrieve the thrusting egg vibrator after use.
  • App control: The Lovense Remote app was the best-performing sex toy mobile application. It was the easiest to pair, and the number of possibilities was the highest among the models we reviewed. Besides the Loop and Float functions that significantly simplified the user experience, we were taken aback by extra bells and whistles like music sync and sound-activated vibrations, two features that enhance hands-free pleasure. Unlike any other sex toy we reviewed, the Lovense Vulse had a feature that let you sync it with your car. This way, the more you drive, the more intense the vibrations and thrusting. For safety, ensure you’re not the one driving.

If you want to see what Lovense Vulse looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

9. Lovehoney Dream Rabbit: Our Budget Pick!

Lovehoney Dream Rabbit

Why we love Lovehoney Dream Rabbit:

Lovehoney Dream Rabbit was not the cheapest model we reviewed, but for $89.99, the Dream Rabbit offered the best value for money. The designers effectively balanced the power and design quality metrics, making the pricing a bargain.

The testers thought the silicone body had a smooth finish, which, combined with the rounded head, simplified penetration. In addition, the 5″ insertable length and circumference offer a chunky mass without being overzealous. The testers described it as ‘a great choice for most users.’

Lovehoney Dream Rabbit’s three thrusting speeds offer a not-so-complicated range of settings to explore. Of course, I prefer more settings, but the 3-speed was sufficient for the price.

The flickering ears were another highlight of the review. And with three speeds and seven patterns, the resulting clitoral stimulation was exciting. I loved that the designers put more settings on the clitoral flickers and just three on the vaginal-stimulating shaft.

I also loved the simple control interface. The four-button pad lets you quickly regulate the up and down shaft movements and vibration patterns on the clitoral flickers. And unlike the single-button options for cheap thrusters, it’s much easier to customize the experience.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the clitoral ears aren’t adjustable, and some reviewers reported a gap that needed a little push for the vibrations to land on the clitoral hood. An adjustable stem would have ensured the vibrations sink the deepest.

The Thruster is also a bit noisy; you must find a way to mask the thrusting sound. It’s nothing obnoxious, but still, it can be annoying.

Why Lovehoney Dream Rabbit is our budget pick:

  • Price & Value: Again, Lovehoney Dream Rabbit might not be the cheapest thrusting rabbit dildo, but it has the best value for money. The designers ensured an outstanding balance between the price and build quality.
  • Ease of Use: Dream Rabbit has a 3-button control interface that makes it easy and quick to customize your experience (96% average score).
  • Settings: Lovehoney Dream Rabbit’s 3 speeds for the thrusters and clit flickering ears were among the most diverse in the list. And especially with the 7 vibration patterns, it offers a healthy list of combinations for the habitual explorer to have a good time.

Features:

  • Material: Silicone
  • Circumference: 5″
  • Insertable Length: 5”

Pros:

  • Dream Rabbit offers a great balance between price tag and quality.
  • Multiple vibration and thrusting settings.
  • Intuitive control interface.
  • Dream Rabbit is waterproof, opening the door for thrilling aqua play.
  • The silky-smooth silicone finish feels great on the clit and inside the vagina.

Cons:

  • The thrusting cycle is noisy.

10. Fun Factory Stronic Real: Most Realistic!

Fun Factory Stronic Real

Why we love Fun Factory Stronic Real:

The testers rate the Fun Factory Stronic Real as the most realistic thrusting dildo. The Thruster has a lifelike penis head, a well-defined corona, and a smooth shaft which was better than the competition. Even without the classic veins and wrinkled balls, it was the best-rated model, garnering an average score of 94%.

Something else that stood out was the gentle pulsations, unlike anything we’d experienced with the other products. The Stronic Real doesn’t move up and down. Instead, it throbs gently in a pattern that feels like the shaft is expanding and deflating quickly.

The pulsations start moderately before spinning into an intense throbbing action that guarantees sheet-grabbing orgasms. I don’t have the most sensitive G-spot, but a member of the testing panel recommended Fun Factory Stronic Real to people with sensitive bits. “The mellow throbs are gentle on the clitoris and vagina because it eliminates the often harsh back and forth strokes, ” they said.

The pulsating vibrator has 7 speeds and 3 patterns, making up an excellent range of combinations to explore. It also has an intuitive 3-button control interface that renders it easy to regulate the pulsations. I loved how raised and punchy the buttons felt, making it easy to spot them even in positions where I didn’t have a direct view.

While more flexibility would’ve been better, the silicone material’s silky finish gave a great experience. And even at the highest settings, Fun Factory Stronic Real felt incredibly squishy inside the vagina.

Lastly, I loved the USB-rechargeable battery. The package came with a magnetic charging cable, making it easier to recharge.

Minor issues we found during testing:

The ABS handle complicated handling, especially with lubed-up hands. A loop handle or a taint of silicone around the handle would have been better.

In addition, Fun Factory Stronic Real was among the expensive thrusting dildos. At $169, not most people will be looking forward to buying one.

Why Fun Factory Stronic Real is the most realistic thrusting vibrator:

  • Design: The authentic detailing with a lifelike head, well-defined head, and realistic shaft qualified it as the most realistic thrusting dildo. With the gentle throbbing action, it looks like a natural penis.
  • Settings: Fun Factory Stronic Real’s pulsating mechanism was a highlight of the review. The testing panel lauded the balance between power and gentleness, a feature that makes it perfect for people with a sensitive G-spot.

Features:

  • Material: Silicone and ABS
  • Circumference: 5″
  • Insertable Length:5″

Pros:

  • Authentic detailing.
  • It looks like a real penis with an extra kink of throbbing action.
  • The tapered tip and smooth shaft simplify penetration.
  • An impressive combination of settings – 7 speeds and 3 patterns.
  • Easy-to­­­­­­­-use interface.
  • The USB-rechargeable dildo is waterproof.

Cons:

  • It’s not as flexible as other models we reviewed.
  • The plastic handle complicated handling.

Other Good Alternatives

Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit is a good option if you want to combine thrusting with a rotating motion. Jessica Rabbit has a series of rotating beads in the shaft that simulate a spinning action. Combining the spinning beads, thrusting action, and vibrating rabbit ears make up one of the most thrilling sensations we’ve ever experienced. With its waterproof design, the testers enjoyed the exquisite stimulation from the shower without worrying about damaging the sex toy.

Booty Blaster is our preferred option for anal play. The 10-function thrusting anal toy has a tapered shaft and a bulging head that guarantee bliss penetration. In addition, the suction cup base promotes hands-free riding, while the wired controller makes it easy to cycle through the 7 vibration patterns and 3 thrusting speeds. This product also gives a good prostate massage, so it’s also a great choice for men and prostate owners. Do you want even more choices? We have 7 more anal dildo reviews here.

Fun Factory Stronic Bi Fusion is what we recommend if you want a larger girth. It has a 6″ circumference, making it the girthiest in the article. Even with its 4″ usable length, it’s the perfect model for stretching fans. And with a ridged shaft and multiple pulsation and vibration patterns, it felt incredible in the vagina. In addition, it has an external stimulator for the clitoris, making it ideal for experienced sex toy users after dual stimulation.

Zalo Desire is a good model with a heating function. The luxurious, self-heating dildo warms up before play to make the experience more realistic. And unlike the traditional warming method, it only takes 2 minutes to get it cozy and warm. With six thrusting modes, a quiet motor, and a compact size, Zalo Desire is a decent option.

 


What Is a Thrusting Dildo?

A thrusting dildo is a phallic-like sex toy with inbuilt stroking movements to simulate intercourse. Unlike regular dildos, you don’t have to thrust them in and out of your vagina or ass with your hand. Instead, the top half moves back and forth at different speeds with the push of a button.

How To Choose Your Product

While there are some crucial factors to consider when choosing your thrusting vibrator, it all narrows down to your taste. Some people rank large thrusters at the top, and others talk about how anal thrusting dildos are preferred.

  • Ensure you get a silicone thrusting model at all costs. The non-porous material is body-safe, heat-resistant, phthalate-free, and free of toxins. Silicone is also easy to clean and durable in the long run. However, you can’t use silicone lube. Use water-based lube instead. You can read more about sex toy material here.
  • Thrust Length. The specific thrusting vibrator will determine how much stroke length you get. Many cheaper models will only give you 1″ thrust, while Velvet thrusters can go as much as 3.5″. So, consider how deep you want the thrusts and pick accordingly.

Greedy Girl with a ruler (Fully extended)

  • Hands-free? If you want a hands-free play experience, consider suction cup thrusters you can attach to a flat surface. You can also get a toy mount if your toy is compatible with one and enjoy effortless orgasms.
  • How much insertable length and girth would you like for your thruster? The ideal size will depend on your experience and the pleasure type you’re after. Whether you want a long, thin model or a short and chunky one, pick your poison. Extreme girth queens can also add a penis sleeve over the dildo.
  • Ease of Use. The best thrusting vibrators come with multiple control options. Whether it’s a wired remote control, wireless remote control, or dedicated mobile app, the more, the better. For the control pad and remote control, make sure the buttons are punchy and easy to reach. And for the app, it should be responsive and easy to customize to your liking.
  • Thrusters offer different speed and intensity settings. Choose a model with more settings because it provides more flexibility and possibilities to experiment.

Closeup of the Velvet Thruster controls

  • The optimal device is the one that meets your needs the most. Some models do more than thrusting – they throb or even stimulate the clitoris. So, consider what gets you off and choose appropriately.
  • Like with most other things, you get what you pay for! While the most expensive model isn’t necessarily the best, a few extra bucks can make a difference in your thruster experience. If given a choice, I’d rather you pay a few more dollars for a quality thruster than settle for a subpar device.
  • Make sure the product comes with a solid warranty. We recommend only buying products with at least a 1-year warranty.

Other factors to consider when choosing the top models include; sound levels, battery use time, and warranty and return policy.

If you want the most power for your bucks, we recommend a sex machine. You can read more about them here.

How To Use A Thrusting Dildo?

As you’d expect, thrusting sex toys are much easier to use than regular dildos. However, the basics still apply. Let’s walk through the steps:

  • Prepare your body and mind – whether a warm shower or scented coupled, get yourself in a calm and expectant mood.
  • Use lots of lube – have enough water-based lube within your arm’s reach.
  • Foreplay – yes! Warm up to the dildo using your fingers. The often ignored ‘foreplay’ before using a toy gets your vagina muscles relaxed and ready for action.
  • Take it slow – start with the lowest speed and slowly acclimatize as you get used to the experience. Remember, it doesn’t have to be on the first day; you can take days or weeks before getting to the highest speed.
  • Switch positions – like sex, change the positions and angles of penetration. Variety is the spice of life, and certain positions feel better for some people and not others – you can only find out what you prefer by experimenting.

Relationship Between Thrusters, Pulsators & Rotating Vibrators

You can use the words thrusters and pulsators interchangeably because of the similar self-thrusting function that seeks to provide you with a hands-free experience. However, there are some essential differences you should be aware of:

  • The main difference between a thrusting dildo and a pulsator is that the former thrusts while the latter does more of a wiggle motion.
  • Pulsators have a throbbing feeling, like the maintained rhythm when your heart pumps blood throughout the body or the pulsation of blood in your ears when you’re running. So, while a thruster simulates the in and out movements of penetrative sex, a pulsator does more – it throbs in a maintained rhythm, further enhancing your experience.
  • Lastly, rotating vibrators don’t thrust. Instead, they rotate in a circular motion to massage your sweet spots persistently. Usually, rotating dildos feature a flexible shaft to allow 360° rotation. In addition, some models combine all three aspects to make for a hybrid rotating dildo.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How Does a Thrusting Dildo Work?

A vibrating thrusting dildo has a self-thrusting section on the shaft that pulls forward and back with the press of a button to simulate penetrative sex [2]. It pushes the head back and forth so your hand doesn’t have to. They typically have multiple thrusting speeds, allowing you to customize the experience to your liking.

How To Make a Thrusting Dildo

Although we recommend going the DIY route whenever you can, like with the Clone A Willy kit, making a thrusting dildo is more complicated. It involves engineering a self-thrusting mechanism, and for a vaginal penetration sex toy, the moving parts pose an injury risk. It’s better to get a budget model like the Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit.

How To Fix a Thrusting Dildo

We don’t recommend fixing broken thrusting toys. If you notice a defect or damage on your thruster dildo, check your warranty and contact the retailer ASAP.

How To Store a Thrusting Dildo

Once clean, store the thrusting vibes in a clean, damp-free sex toy case. You can also use your bedside drawer if you don’t have a storage pouch – ensure it’s clean and well-padded with an old cotton shirt. Most importantly, store sex toys separately, especially those made from different materials.

Sex toy storage boxes

Which Positions Are Best?

The best positions for a thrusting dildo vibrator are those with a good view of the device because it’s much easier to regulate the penetration angle. However, if you have a suction cup model, you can explore ‘behind’ sex positions like doggy style and spooning [3].

Can I Use One with My Partner?

Yes. You can use a thrusting vibrator with your partner. It adds to the possibilities during sex, allowing couples to explore double penetration and intense mutual masturbation.

What Lube Should I Use?

You should only use water-based lube with your thrusting vibrator. Unlike silicone and oil-based lubricants, it’s sex toy safe and easy to clean afterward.
