Dildo (vibration·thrusting, suction cup·app control)

This is a compact thrusting device measuring 18cm overall, with an 11cm insertable section and a diameter of 2.85cm. The motor drives the stroke on its own, 10 vibration speeds are built in, and the dedicated app lets you create the rhythm you want.

How it differs from a large thrusting machine

The usual thrusting machine is bulky, has to be plugged in and is a nuisance to store. This one is about the size of a pencil case, charges over USB and packs away as soon as you take the suction cup off. If you have used a hand-held vibrating or thrusting product and had to stop partway because your arm ached, the suction cup is the answer.

Thrusting and 10 vibration speeds

Press the power button and the stroke starts, and press it again to change the vibration mode. The ten modes range from an even light buzz through broken rhythms to a driving pattern. Vibration and stroke run separately, so if you only want the friction of the stroke you can leave the vibration off.

Wall mounting that frees your hands

The suction cup sticks to smooth surfaces such as tiled walls, the side of a bathtub, glass and coated flooring. The joint between the suction cup and the body swivels, so you can set the height and angle to suit lying down or kneeling. Take the suction cup off and it becomes an ordinary hand-held device, with the stroke and vibration unchanged.

Building your own rhythm in the app

Scanning the QR code in the manual inside the box takes you to the app. Once connected, all 10 built-in speeds appear, and there is a function that lets you drag the intensity yourself and save it as your own mode. It suits anyone who finds the built-in modes too weak or too intense. You can still use all 10 speeds from the buttons on the device without installing the app.

Choosing a surface

The suction cup needs a surface that is flat, smooth and free of seams. Tile, glass, coated flooring and the side of a bathtub all qualify. On rough painted walls, tile with raised edges or coarse wood, the vacuum does not form and it falls off. Wipe off the dust and add a trace of moisture to the contact face and it holds far more firmly than it does dry.
