This tutorial also describes the parallels and differences between self thrusting dildos and thrusting sex toys. Since they are so closely related, I'll keep things simple and combine both vibrators and dildos that have a shaft that thrusts up & down via vertical bearing into my “all-time favorites” list below.
What is a Thrusting Dildo?
A thrusting dildo is a sex toy with a shaft that moves up and down on a vertical axis driven by a piston. The thrusting vibrator may have a clitoral stimulator for external stimulation, or it can be a realistic penis dildo used for anal by men.

Women typically use it in the vagina as it replicates the sensations of sexual intercourse. Realistic styling gives the thrusting sex toy a more unisex appeal and also adds a touch of realism to the dildo that thrusts with an in and out motion.
I won't go into vast detail on the intricacies, but if this is a novel concept for you please head on over to the guide that answers that one burning question in your mind - What is a thrusting vibrator? The guide also features full video demos and tips on how to use one properly. It should be the first stop for any beginner.
Some men purchase a realistic thrusting dildo to use as a hands-free thrusting anal vibrator, but it can also be used by women who do not want a clitoral stimulator with their thrusting dildo. If you seek a toy for intense internal stimulation, the best thrusting dildo will give you exactly what you desire.
What Does a Thrusting Dildo Feel Like?
Understandably at first glance, the up and down movement of the shaft is supposed to imitate the motions of sexual intercourse. However, after using and reviewing all these toys before crafting this article, I came to the realization that they do not imitate the feel of sexual intercourse.
Self penetrating moving dildos feel more intense compared to your other dildoes, regardless if they vibrate or not. The up & down motion has an erotic massaging-like sensation.
Why not? The automatic up & down movement does feel “deep” and that hands-free aspect is a nice touch for my fantasy, but it's important to note that the entire shaft does not move. Only the top third portion of the shaft thrusts forward and backward automatically.
So in the end, it does not completely replicate the realistic feel of sex However, the movement inside PLUS the heavily ribbed feeling of the accordion style extension piece in the shaft is highly erotic and can provide you with intense pleasure once you hit that power button.
How a Self Thrusting Dildo Works
After listing some pros, I have to treat it with an unbiased opinion and let you know some cons. The self thrusting dildo machine is noisy compared to pretty much any other type of vibrating dildo.
I compared the decibel readings in the article that discusses silent vibrators, and noted that a thruster shaft is much nosier because there are 3 motors whereas most vibrating sex toys have a maximum of 2 motors.
What is the Difference Between Thrusting Dildos and Vibrators?
Even though dildos and vibrators are interchangeable sex toy terms, they are actually different. To quickly summarize, here is the difference between thrusting dildos & thrusting vibrators:
- Dildos look like a penis and do not have an external stimulators. (Think realistic dildo.)
- Vibrators are often colorful and have an external stimulator for the clitoris. (Think rabbit vibrator.)
Essentially, the dildo is for internal stimulation only of the vagina or anus and the vibrator is for dual stimulation of the clitoris and vagina at the same time.
Are Moving Dildos Noisy?
It's a simple and reasonable conclusion to state that three motors are noisier than two. The vertical mechanism that thrusts inside the moving dildo tends to be the nosiest.
There is a metal axis implanted in the center that has a lever which moves the thrusting head vibrator up and down over this axis. It takes quite a bit of energy to get the head moving, so as a result, it makes a fair amount of noise.
With that said however, it's also important to note that while the motor is operating this movement inside your vagina, it sounds quieter from the outside.
Don't be afraid when you load the batteries and pump up the power for the first time. Yes, it's loud but once you insert the thrusting dildo, it reduces the sound level several decibels.
Reliability of Self Penetrating Dildos
Another con of thruster sex toys is the unreliability of the motors. I'm not saying they are poorly made. After all, these are quality toys. However, if you review my technical engineering jargon above, you'll understand how complex these things really are!
As a result, the defective rate is higher than that of a normal vibrating adult toy for women with only a single motor. This should not be a deal breaker however as we offer a full product warranty and will replace yours if it breaks within 30 days of ownership.
On the other hand, some of the newest rechargeable dildos thrust up and down. Because the technology of USB charging is so new, we find by experience that these are more reliable than their battery operated counterparts.
USB rechargeable toys do come at a higher price. However, once you consider their features and reliability, investing in a rechargeable self thrusting adult toys is certainly worth every penny.

How to Clean your Thrusting Dildo
There is one very important step to be aware of before you buy a thrusting dildo, and it pertains to the proper way to clean it to make sure it's thoroughly sanitized after use:
Pro tip: Before cleaning your thrusting dildo, make sure to shut off the motor when the dildo shaft is in the fully extended position. If you sanitize the surface with the shaft retracted, the parts that are folded into the accordion cannot be properly cleaned. When the shaft is fully extended, the entire surface is exposed so you can give it a complete rinse & wash.
- Rinse the shaft & rabbit stimulator (if applicable) with hot water.
- Spray antibacterial sex toy cleaner or antibacterial hand soap (sex toy cleaner is preferred because it's less harsh than hand soap, but still kills bacteria).
- Rub it well with your hand and make sure to get in in all the grooves and under the crease of the circumcised penis head top. Be sure not to get water into the battery compartment!
- Rinse the toy well with warm water.
- Remove the batteries from the compartment before storing.
Finding the Best Thrusting Sex Toy
I hope you find my videos useful and informative, these are a tricky item to sell based solely off pictures a customer sees online. Most of our customers have never been in a neighborhood sex shop, which I think is a disadvantage when you're trying to purchase something new and different than you're used to.
In my days of working behind the counter in the adult toys store in my city, I was able to demonstrate the thrusting sex toys by loading in the batteries and turning on the engine! If you're reading this, it's likely that you prefer discretion and don't want to visit a store. Maybe you live in a remote town and can't visit a sex shop without driving 100 miles to the nearest major metropolitan center.
The internet is the perfect discreet way to buy dildo vibrators online in the comfort of your own home. I truly hope this blog entry fills in all the missing information and now you feel confident about which adult toy to choose. If you have additional questions however, I'd be happy to assist. Just send me an email to the customer service email address on the “contact us” page and I'll get right back to you!
