Thrusting Vibrators: How Close Are They to the Real Thing?

Although thrusting vibrators cannot completely match the sensations of full-thrust intercourse, they might be a good option for you if you enjoy the feeling of constant movement close to your deepest places or any movement at your entrance.

The thrusting vibrator is the new toy, the "holy grail" that you have undoubtedly seen if you have spent the previous five years in any sex toy stores or commercials. Thanks to relatively new and inventive technologies, businesses have been vying for the most excellent and fastest-thrusting toy to enhance your previous manual play experience.

A gadget that...self-moving? Is that even feasible?

Could a sex toy do all the work for you and completely replace your favorite dildo that causes hand cramps during long sessions in an industry that is notorious for overpromising and underdelivering?

What is a Thrusting Vibrator?

Although sex machines are fantastic, they are also very costly and extensive. Hence, thrusting vibrators aim to capture the essence of an automated thrusting machine and transform it into a handheld device at a significantly lower price.

Although the term "thrusting vibrator" can conjure images of phallic items in your mind, the popularity of this device has resulted in a resurgence of thrusting sex toys. Even anal plugs and bullet vibrators use the same kind of technology!

One of two methods is used by your average thrusting toy to achieve this movement:

1. The Moving Shaft

Your prospective thrusting vibrator likely employs this technique if you notice folds in the material close to the tip, as shown in the gif above. With this design, the toy tip rises and falls with each thrust. The toy's tip expands and contracts due to a motor inside.

Imagine it as a far more potent version of those motorized holiday decorations you've seen that wave or move from side to side.

Compared to its moving-ball competitors, thrusting vibrators with moving shafts typically offer a greater range of motion because the movement is practically integrated into the toy design. They are more likely to jam, though, particularly if there are any ringing musculatures over the growing region.

2. The Moving Ball

Creating a separate tip that pulls together and separates from the remainder of the shaft is costly and challenging!

The "moving ball" option takes a different approach. A lengthy, hollow chamber inside your sex toy is designed to precisely fit a heavy ball that resides inside it in this thrusting vibrator.

Gravity causes the ball's weight to stay at the toy's bottom while at rest. But a motor at the bottom pushes the ball violently to the top of this hollow chamber. When it does that, the toy is forced to move with the ball due to its weight, creating a thrusting motion.

You would not think it would do much until you see it in action, but the XR Brands Thump-It employs this precise technique:

How to Use a Thrusting Vibrator

Making use of the walls and pillows you already have in your house could be a smart place to start if you've never used a thrusting vibrator. Without the need for your hands, they can offer a solid, immobile surface to hold the thrusting sex toy firmly in place inside your body.

Slide the pushing vibrator into your body to use a cushion. Next, roll your pillow into a ball, insert it between your legs, and use your thighs to hold it in place. Finding the ideal location may need some trial and error, but once the pillow resists the sex toy's base, you've accomplished it. It ought to prevent the thruster from slipping out.

You can use a wall or piece of furniture in the same way. Once the toy is fully inserted, place your body so the base touches the wall or furniture. (This might be a significant flexibility difficulty.) As long as the thrusting toy remains securely inside your body, the object will now serve as a stopping point for the vibrator, "holding it" for you.

Do Thrusting Vibrators  Work?

Let me start by addressing this:

 None of these toys will replace the sensations of full-thrust intercourse.

I don't want you to think you were duped. Some manufacturers have invested marketing funds in attempting to persuade you that thrusting vibrators are a miraculous substitute for a handheld dildo or full-thrusting partner.

No, they don't. The range of motion is not there for them.

Some of these toys have movements that are one inch or less in length if you look at them. These toys don't duplicate that feeling, mainly because most full-length thrusts are at least a few inches long.

However, thrusting vibrators have some advantages over other solutions. These consist of:

  • No Muscle Fatigue. It takes very little human strength to do this. Just secure the thrusting vibrator and start working. You don't need to be concerned about hand cramps or a partner who is too tired.
  • Multiple Stimulation Options. Why not expand your thrusting vibrator further? Numerous thrusting options also come with additional stimulation features, such as perineum stroking, clitoral vibrations, and extra texture.
  • Added Vibrations. Your typical dildo or your spouse doesn't feel the same. In addition to thrusting sensations, most thrusting vibrators also provide vibrations.
  • Targeted Designs. A lot of thrusting vibrators are made especially to strike a particular location. It may be found inside a deep curve in your body, if that is the g-spot or p-spot. It may be difficult or impossible to hold your favorite dildo at that angle if that is the case. A thrusting vibrator allows you to keep it in a neutral position while it handles all of the difficult reaching for you. All you have to do is insert it.

How Do Thrusting Vibrators Compare to Sex Machines?

Although sex machines are somewhat expensive, they have two main advantages over thrusting vibrators:

  1. Hands-free operation.
  2. Thrusting at full length.

You see, the majority of people overlook the fact that thrusting vibrators still require holding. Even if the vibrator does the thrusting for you, a human with a semi-stable hand still needs to keep it in place. To maintain the thrusting vibrator in position and reach the desired locations, you may need to use your hand and forearm muscles, depending on your grip strength and thrusting force requirements.

You don't need that for sex robots. They provide a structure that can "hold" the dildo by itself because of its large bases and substantial size. All you have to do is position yourself, and the sex machine will take care of the thrusting. If your sex machine has a remote control, you can use your hands to change the depth and speed. If it's a manual-only option, you can also change the depth of penetration by pushing your hips closer or farther away from the machine.

Additionally, sex machines provide the full-stroke thrusting that you most likely desire when attempting to mimic the "real thing." They can cover much more ground than a basic handheld choice because of their size and metal structure. To further personalize your experience, some sex machines even have adjustable stroke lengths.

Thrusting vibrators, on the other hand, prevail in the "bonus stimulation" category. There are very few sex machines that provide vibrations. Therefore, thrusting vibrators are the best option if you want your thrusting to have more vibrations.

If you like inventive sex positions, thrusting vibrators are also the best option. All you have to do is grab the thrusting vibrator, transform it into a sex-position pretzel, and carry on with your activities. Finding the ideal angle for penetration while lying in the desired sex position will take a lot of back-and-forth wrangling with sex machines.

A sex toy mount could be an affordable compromise. You can use your vibrator hands-free thanks to this sex toy mount, which will "hold" it in place. Just insert the thrusting vibrator into a mount for a sex toy, hop in, and have fun! If you enjoy spooning pleasure, the Liberator Humphrey might be a nice choice, while the Liberator BonBonBon can hold it upright for simple "receiver on top" sex positions.

How Much Is This Pleasure Going to Cost Me?

The adage "you get what you pay for" is true for the majority of sex toys, but thrusting vibrators are particularly problematic.

The next time you're near an orgasm, pay attention. Your body will likely start to stiffen up. If you're penetrating yourself, you also likely noticed that the tension made it harder to push the toy in and out of yourself.

The thrusting vibrator has to fight this. Although larger motors are more expensive, they provide the power required to combat squeezing.

Accordingly, your $50 thrusting vibrator may thrust when held in the air, but when it comes into contact with resistance inside a human body, it may begin to slow or even stop.

In light of this, if money permits, budget at least $100 for your thrusting vibrator. Thrusting toys with unique characteristics, such as hands-free operation, remote control, or replaceable dildos, usually cost between $150 and $300.

Yes, this one is expensive, but it can be aided by using a program like Sezzle.

You may easily make some comparisons between thrusting vibrators and the classic rotating rabbit vibrator shafts if you've been in the sex toy business for a while. If you didn't have a high-end vibrator, you'd discover that it jammed up frequently, even though the rotations could be there and feel fantastic.

I suggest searching for a device in the low $100s if you're interested in thrusting technology but haven't tried it yet. When you're ready, think about getting a stronger alternative (or going all out with a sex machine!) if you enjoy the movement but become a little frustrated if/when it locks up.

If you have a robust pelvic floor, you can find that even with a high-end option, there are days when your expensive thrusting vibrator jams. After all, it's a handheld device. Restarting the thrusting vibrator might be facilitated by deliberately releasing your grasp. For you, sex machines might be a better choice as well. Their increased size makes increased motors, longer thrusts, and greater torque possible.

Conclusion

So, is it wise to purchase a thrusting vibrator? You decide that! Everything comes down to you and your tastes.

The thruster can be ideal for you if you enjoy the sensation of any movement at your entry, whether it be vaginal or anal, OR if you enjoy continuous movement close to your deepest areas. Although it won't be able to mimic the full-stroke thrusts of a sex machine, it can automate movement and pleasure in a manner that vibrators can't, which is fantastic.
