If you are planning to get a thrusting dildo, this is the one you should get. It's pretty firm and you can't bend it. It's not waterproof and the charging port makes me a little nervous when washing, but you just have to be a little cautious. It also has a very strong suction cup. The silicone is high quality and the range of thrusting is a full 2 inches. The only negative is the noise. Jeez is it loud! Other than that I would definitely recommend this.

I have very strong pelvis muscles and have had trouble with thrusters stopping, but this thruster has no problem handling the pressure. I do find the buttons a bit awkward, but I was pleasantly surprised by the sound. After all the reviews I was expecting something thunderous. While it is probably my noisiest toy, it’s definitely not as loud as I feared. I would also have preferred a more fantasy look as opposed to a very minty anatomical look. In the end though, I highly recommend this!

For what this toy is, it's great, but it's difficult to compare it to anything else since I don't really own any other kind of thruster or toy machine. First the positive: Perfect size, great speed selection, strong suction cup anchor, silky silicone, feels good. The cons: noisy, more work to clean, thrust isn't strong enough on lower settings to insert easily when warming up, hard to switch it off at the correct time for storage. Overall the pros outweigh the cons and I am glad I own this toy. I always thoroughly enjoy it when I use it. However, because of how loud it is (both the motor and the sort of accordion effect created by the silicone shell when it's thrusting that makes a sort of whistle noise) I can only use this toy when I am home alone so it doesn't get as much use as I would like--which is to say, I really like this toy and would love to be able to use it more frequently. I store this dildo standing up, but that means turning it off at the correct time feels a bit like a carnival game. You have to push the power button twice, and it's kind of a test of your prediction skills to make it stop when it's "down" and compact. If I stop it in an extended position the toy is too tall for my drawer and I can't store it. I wish there was a simpler way to do that.

Pairing this with a Vixen Holster sleeve is a tour de force. My absolute favorite.

This was my first thrusting dildo and I will be grabbing for this one again and again. The best part of The Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy, of course, is the suction cup. It frees up your hands so you can invite in all your other favorite toys and friends along for the fun. What a great not-so-little-toy!

Love this for an easy o, I can prop it against my pillow and let it do most of the work, the different thrusting speeds are great, This thing can go fast when you want it to. Unfortunately, it is pretty loud so if you're not home alone or you've got thin walls you have to be careful! I've had success quieting the noise by using it under my blankets. It is hard as a rock, though, so I don't recommend using it for a long time as it can get uncomfortable. And cleaning isn't that bad, I usually just make sure it's fully extended and keep it pointed down so water doesn't get into the charging port. Overall I really love it, I read about pairing it with a soft sleeve so I might try that soon!

The “Teddy” is a refined and satisfying piece of sex toy engineering. The shaft and head are very firm velvety silicone that flows down over the mechanism of the toy to its suction cup base. I find the naked Teddy both too small and too hard. As other reviewers have advised, if you desire a more dual-density effect and a girthier ride, the VixSkin Holster sheath fits perfectly on Teddy. It feels great. You’ve never used a sex toy like Teddy before. For solo play, I usually prefer dildos I can use for a combination of deep vaginal penetration and shallow thrusting. I had to experiment to position the Teddy to take its thrust without accidentally going too deep and finding my inner labia in irritating contact with the folds in the silicone over the thrusting mechanism. The best advice I have is to brace Teddy against some sort of toy mount (I use a Liberator Wing), let it do the work, and move with it. It does require some practice, but the search for the sweet spot is totally worth it! The motor and action are powerful and variable. I don’t find the noise too distracting. The controls are easy to manipulate. The + and - speed controls are rendered in raised silicone on the base, so you can navigate them by touch. You can wash the dildo head of the Teddy as you would any silicone toy, however you MUST be very careful when cleaning the Teddy not to get ANY water in the charging port OR in the tiny invisible vents just above the base of the device. You will brick it. The device is “water resistant,” but barely. I cannot stress this enough! You have to clean the base area/the area of the toy just above and below the shaft of the thruster mechanism very carefully with a wrung-out wet wipe of some kind. I use a washcloth damp with diluted antibacterial dish soap, then rinse the soap out of the cloth and pass over it again. This isn’t an inexpensive or uncomplicated toy. Teddy does come with a one-year warranty, and you shouldn’t be shy about using it. I was pleased to discover that the manufacturer stands behind its products, is interested in user feedback, and seems to be into always improving their design and engineering. I have engaged with customer service via thethruster.com and found the people behind the Teddy to be extremely responsive and super helpful.
