Have you ever been scared and horny at the same time? That’s how I felt when I saw Thrust (opens in a new tab), a handheld thrusting Dildo.
Yes, as the name suggests, this dildo works hard for you.
Thurster is a less expensive, more petite tech on “fucking machines” like the Cowgirl machine (opens in a new tab), which can cost you 2,000.
Velvet Thurster co-founders and couple Daniel and Alex Fima started the company in 2017 after working as aerospace engineers at Boeing, Airbus and NASA. (Yes. That’s right.) It was a stressful job and he had a lot of responsibilities. What else did I do? Sex toys.
According to Daniel FEMA, the company’s goal was to replace these heavy, highly expensive handheld toys. In decades past, small batteries weren’t powerful enough to do that. Now, the technology is there.
That being said, these self-pumping dildos aren’t cheap: the cheapest option, Thurster Mini (“TD”) (opens in a new tab), retail at $ 166, while Thurster Prime (opens in a new tab) Will run you $ 234 before any additional additions.
There are cheaper machines on the market than Thruster (for example, this Jack Hammer visible object (opens in a new tab) on Amazon), but Thruster is hand-controlled and more compact, thus storing it. It’s easy.
Thurster and its website look awesome at first glance, due to the many options available to Prime later on. Choose from four colors (lilac, mint, black and red), and, in the case of prime, different head styles, from standard dildos to heads designed specifically for the G-spot or prostate. Each head has its own page – such as Walter for anal penetration (opens in a new tab) – to help you decide.
Nitty-gritty on thruster
The Prime’s insertible length is seven inches and its total length is 11. I’m not a complete dildo newbie, but I’m definitely a sex machine novice, so I thought prime would be too much for me.
Instead, I tried two other Thurster offerings: TD and TDXL (opens in a new tab) ($ 182). Both are smaller than the Prime: Teddy is the smallest of the company, measuring five inches long and up to nine inches long. For the Teddy XL, it’s six inches and ten inches, respectively.
Thrusters are made of platinum treated, body safe silicone. Teddy models have realistic dildo attachments, and while the lengths vary, the circumferences are the same, at 4.5 inches in the middle of the shaft.
