LELO INA Thrust Review (Blog)

Have you tried (or are you curious about trying) a thrusting sex toy? These pleasure devices are designed to replicate the motions of penetrative sex, and then some, depending on what variation you seek.

Thrusting toys are no new feat in the world of sex toy inventions. The earliest example was a steam powered contraption, named ‘The Manipulator’ invented by Dr. George Taylor in 1869. Think of a dildo attached to an engine that was so monstrous that it would be hidden in another room altogether. Very steam punk chic, but not the most practical. Over the years, thrusting sex toys have evolved into smaller (in comparison) sex machines that you can set up on your floors or tables to the much more convenient and affordable handheld devices.

When it comes to enjoyable penetrative sex, while techniques can differ from person to person, they all follow a simple rule of considered motion, paired with consistent rhythm, struck against the most enjoyable erogenous zone of the receiver, that focuses on building upon that sweet sensation till you reach your peak. A good thrusting vibrator should replicate this. The bonus of using a thrusting toy is that when you’re getting close to orgasm, the thruster won’t suddenly speed up, change pattern or increase intensity, throwing the whole thing off so you have to start all over again (or you possibly not being able to finish at all).

As a pleasure device connoisseur who has had the pleasure of testing different types of thrusters over the years, I’ve gotta say that like a good dick, a good thrusting toy is hard to find. I think it may actually be one of the hardest toys to get right. In my experience, thrusters have a habit of feeling bit too mechanical, emitting loud whirring sounds reminiscent of fucking an overzealous C3PO. Another flaw in the design is how many thrusters often replicate the erotic repertoire of a clueless lover who is just excited to be invited to the soiree, with absolutely no finesse to what they’re doing. It’s jackhammer central. No sex toy will ever be able to perfectly mirror sex with another human being, but there are thrusters that come pretty close and when you find one -girl! That shit goes crazy and is one of the best toys to have in your arsenal.

If you want a thrusting vibrator that goes crazy, let me introduce you to the one that makes me climax so embarrassingly hard that it immediately sends me to sleep each and every time, from one of my favourite luxury toy brands, LELO.

The LELO INA Thrust is a sleek dual-action rabbit massager that combines thrusting G-spot action and vibrating clitoral stimulation to induce powerful blended orgasms that will have you weak in the knees like SWV. What makes this thruster special is the incorporation of LELO’s DynamicThrust technology that is designed to mimic natural rhythm and maintain the same intensity under resistance (it won’t get jammed if you clench -or as we Jamaican’s say ‘quint -on it) for sensations that feel more realistic and intentional. I’d also like to state for the record, minimal mechanical whirring.

LELO are the brand behind my all-time favourite rabbit sex toy, the Soraya Wave, so when I tell you I was so gassed to try a thruster from them that I took the INA Thrust with me on a job to Mallorca knowing my cabin bag was gonna get flagged at the airport (and did! Lol).  I had no f*cks to give when security pulled me aside and asked me what the hell was in my bag (he never said that, he was really nice and we laughed about it), but with the INA Thrust, I had many (f*cks) to take, and take them I did!

My Experience

I spoke earlier about the INA Thrust being designed to facilitate blended orgasms (a favourite of mine). For those that may not know, blended orgasms are achieved when two or more of your erogenous zones (sensitive areas of your body that incite arousal) are stimulated at the same time to make you climax harder. This toy targets your clitoris and g spot, a great combo.

The shape of the insertable thruster is curved and bulbous, designed to give you the ‘come hither’ sensation of a lover curling their fingers as they push and pull inside of you, that hits your g spot every time. That takes some of the guess work out for you. I appreciate how flexible the clitoral arm is, allowing it to bend liberally to work with different anatomies. This can often be a bit of a letdown with some rabbit vibrators when the external stimulator doesn’t adapt, meaning you may find yourself sacrificing depth of penetration or getting the right amount of clitoral play. The INA Thrust having the moveable feature means that you can get the toy as close to your body as you prefer.

I experimented with several different settings, angles and positions with the INA Thrust, to find what worked for me. Once I found my sweet spot, INA and I went together like peanut butter and ladies (high five if you get the reference lol)! I preferred it most laying on my front, with the thrust set to a medium pace and the clitoral stimulator on mode one and turned up pretty high.

The thruster is subtle but effective. It wasn’t powerful in the way I initially expected -you can definitely feel it moving inside of you – but it focuses on gradually building upon sensation over pounding your insides. As a babe who enjoys a pounding, I did worry that it may not get me where I needed to be, but as it ran, this euphoric feeling started blooming and I was like, “Let her cook!” Babe, when that blended orgasm hit it was embarrassing in the best way possible. The full body spasms hit me hard, had your girl flopping around in the bed like a fish out of water. To make matters worse, the toy wore me out so bad I fell asleep with it still running inside of me. This happened every time I tested it. If, “Today drained me!” was a sex toy, it would be this. Thank God for the 20 min auto shut off function.

While it’s not a quiet vibrator, it damn sure is the quietest thrusting sex toy I’ve ever tested. The whirring was minimal and once inserted, you could barely hear it at all. I appreciated that because some thrusting toys still be sounding like Transformers even when they’re muffled by your sugar walls.

It’s easy to control once you’ve familiarised yourself with the buttons. The central button turns it on and off by pressing and holding it and once it’s on that same button will cycle through the different modes. The vertical buttons control thrust intensity, and the horizontal buttons control the clitoral vibe intensity. App control is easy to set up with on screen instructions, and you get to access the bonus settings and different ways to control the toy. The app also allows you to use the INA Thrust as a couple’s vibrator with your partner being able to control it from anywhere in the world via the LELO Love Bridge feature.

It’s generally easy to clean, but you will need to get a small brush (I use a designated toothbrush) to clean the engraved details.

I enjoyed using this and it’s definitely something I will reach for again (particularly if I’m having trouble sleeping lol). I recommend this thrusting toy for intermediate to advanced users who enjoy penetrative stimulation or those of you who struggle to orgasm via penetration alone.
