Thanks to technology, sex toys have become more and more lifelike — and realistic thrusting dildos and thrusting vibrators take that to the next level. Those who wish to do less work during solo play can allow their dildo or vibrator to do the work for them, moving in and out as they lie back and enjoy themselves.
“A thrusting dildo and vibrator has a mechanism inside that creates a, well, thrusting motion,” explains sexologist Angel Russell. “It causes the toy to move up and down to give the sensation that thrusting during sex might give, without you actually doing any thrusting with your hands. Other vibrators have the mechanisms that offer the vibration speeds and patterns, but a thrusting toy adds the motion that other toys don’t come with. ”
If you’re looking for a thrusting sex toy, Russell suggests finding something made of body-safe, medical-grade silicone.
“Check the packaging for words like ‘nonporous’ and ‘phthalate-free’ before dropping big bucks on a toy that looks pretty but may harm your body,” they suggest. Porous toys like jelly toys can house bacteria and are harder to clean.
Secondly, some thrusting adult toys are noisy, so you may want to look for something that’s specifically advertised as quiet or discreet, Russell says. A few features you also may or may not want to look for are water-resistance, multiple speeds and patterns, and USB-rechargeable specs.
