Things You Should Pay Attention to When Shopping for a Pulsating Dildo
A thrusting dildo, as it name suggests, gives you thrusting action that’s similar to actual sex. Usually, this thrusting comes on top of vibrations to produce the most powerful stimulation known to mankind.
Because of the specific way it works, a thrusting dildo has to be chosen very carefully. Here are some of the essentials to pay attention to.
Power of the thrusting motor: The way a pulsating dildo works is determined by the power of the thrusting motor. It needs to be separate from any motor that works for vibrations. Always pay attention to the range of thrusting speeds (the more, the better) and if the toy offers thrusting patterns or something extra to spice things up.
Realism of movement: A little goes a long way with thrusting dildos. In other words, you don’t need a toy that goes wild. The number of thrusts and additional vibrations are much more important than actual crazy in and out motion. Most people would say they prefer a thrusting motion that feels realistic. But that’s really up to personal preferences. If you need more to orgasm, seek a toy that has power, intensity and a good range of movement going beyond what a human lover can deliver.
Controls: Self thrusting vibrators usually offer both thrusting and vibrating action. These settings are controlled through a button on the toy, a remote control or a phone app. When using a thruster dildo, you should be capable of making adjustments easily. Most people prefer a wireless control because it offers simplicity. A mobile app is also cool, as it allows somebody else to do the adjustments – perfect choice for people in a long-distance relationship.
How noisy it is: Since a vibrating dildo needs a powerful motor and it’s also capable of giving you up and down thrusting motion, it can be quite noisy. Some people find the sound of using such a dildo quite distracting. It’s best to check a thrusting dildo out in person before buying. YouTube videos and buyer testimonials can also be enlightening about the noise level.
Additional stimulation: Thrusting is usually not enough to get the job done. This is why most thrusters can also vibrate or pulsate. Again – check the vibration modes and speeds before buying. Some thrusting vibrators also have a rabbit or a clitoral stimulation pad that will vibrate. These toys give you the best experience in terms of external and internal stimulation alongside the thrusting.
Rotation: Speaking of additional stimulation, here’s one more cool feature you may want to look for. There are dildos out there that don’t just thrust in and out. They also have a rotating head – a perfect design element for G-spot stimulation.
Intended use: Most realistic vibrating dildos are versatile. They can be used for both G-spot and prostate stimulation or anal sex. Some dildos on the market, however, are especially created for anal stimulation. If you’re going to use your thrusting toy for such sex the most, consider the specialized design. Tapered designs, bead-like structure and a flared base make such toys perfect for anal play. They also come with a wireless remote, making speed and setting adjustments easy.
Size: With a self thrusting dildo, you are getting powerful stimulation regardless of the size. Hence, you don’t need to go massive in order to experience the best orgasm of your life. Smaller sizes offer a lot more versatility. Keep in mind that a toy isn’t human flesh. It will usually be firmer. This is why bigger isn’t always better, even if you’re using a ton of lube (which you should always do). Six to seven inches will work really well for all kinds of sex. Pay attention to the girth, as well.
Material: This is a consideration that remains valid for all sex toys, thrusting or not. Thrusting dildos have to be made of durable, bodysafe materials. Some of the best toys out there are crafted from smooth, medical-grade silicone. This is your safest bet when it comes to perfectly hygienic use and longevity. Silicone is the golden standard in this category and you’ll rarely find a thrusting dildo that’s crafted from something else (and that is worth buying).
Flexibility and softness: Your thrusting vibrator has mechanical components inside and a shaft crafted to move up and down or sideways. To give you all these functions, a thrusting dildo cannot be as soft as a dildo you use by hand. Still, some toys are somewhat flexible and they have a silky outer layer. Make sure that the toy feels nice in your hand and that the material on the outside isn’t too dense or rough. If this is the case, you’ll find the dildo difficult to use, even if you slather it in an entire bottle of lube.
Ribbing, beads and texture: Because a thrusting dildo moves inside you, it’s often designed in a way to make each oscillation even more intense. This is achieved through the addition of texture. The shafts and heads of thrusting dildos often have some ribbing or beading. These little nodules and ridges will be felt intensely with each thrust, making the toy even more powerful.
Is it waterproof: Since a thrusting dildo has at least one motor inside, you should be very careful when cleaning and washing this kind of toy. Usually, motorized sex toys should not be submerged in water. Some manufacturers offer waterproof toys that are great fun in the shower and that are also very easy to clean. When shopping, don’t just think about pleasure. Ease of cleaning is also very important to give you safe use time and time again.
