Whether this is your first vibe or your 50th, Thor proves to be versatile and easy to use. Novice or experienced vibe users will find this vibe fun, different from most, and exciting to use.Published: September 28, 2009
Pros:
Easy to clean, suction cup base holds well, bullet is strong.
Cons:
The cord could be just a hair longer.
To date, this is easily the most fun toy I have reviewed.
Let's start with the remote. Simple, easy, one button. It doesn't get any better then that. The bottom isn't a struggle to open to get the batteries in and the cap goes on easily but securely. One soft button is all you need to find the 4 ways this suction-cup based vibrator works.
Three of the four settings are pulsing action but the final setting is just straight out vibration. The patterns the first three use are amazing. Kudos to whomever thought of that.
Now, the cord is another awesome piece of technology. Unlike most other remote vibes with a cord, this one goes into the side of the toy, not the bottom and it doesn't go into the actual working bullet! There is a bit of protection. It's completely sealed so that no water leaks in at all. This is such a nice feature. The only thing about the cord is that it could be just a hair longer. In the shower, it just wasn't quite long enough to reach where I liked.
Then, there's the vibe! Oh my, let me just say that first off this is my first suction-cup based vibrator. I have never enjoyed this kind of versatility. The suction cup is strong and wide so it gets a really good grab on the wall (or surface of your choice) and holds tightly. There was very little slipping, even in the shower, and yet it was easy to remove after it was time to take it down.
The head isn't shaped like a traditional head. There's this nifty swirl affect and it still has the right shape (without the flare) and contours nicely. The material is soft, pliable and yet rugged enough to be gripped hard and moved around in the shower and doesn't slip from your hands. I couldn't have cared less about the replicated "balls" at the base but they weren't a bother either.
The angle at which the vibe is cut is almost perfect. The curve isn't too severe or too straight. There's a nice flow when using it and a natural feeling when it glides.
The bullet is set just below the head. The stimulation points it is able to stimulate are good without being too intense. I didn't even feel the bullet itself during play but was aware of the constant vibration it gave off.
Clean up was a snap. The material is TPR so it's water-based lube friendly, which, of course, is a good thing considering this can be used in the shower. I was able to clean it fast and with ease and the construction of vibe had few ridges and crevices so I didn't worry about missing something while giving it a good cleaning.
All-in-all, I was impressed with Thor. Few vibes get my attention the way this one has and will likely beholding it for a long time.

Follow-up commentary
19 days after original review
We have found several new places to attach "Thor" since the first few outings. It sits rather nicely on car hoods, windows, tile floors/walls and mirrors.
This toy has taken a beating and keeps on delivering its very best. I am far from disappointed and am still on the first set of batteries.

Lubes compatible with TPR - Manufacturer suggests something else?
-
So I just got the Laura Berman's Thor Realistic Vibrator in the mail and according to the TPR materials page on this site it's compatible with water and silicone lubes... but on the manufacturers notes that came with the package it's compatible with oil & water based only. Who is correct? What lube should I use? I hate water-based and was hoping to use my silicone lube with this toy.
Any and all answers are appreciated. -

TPR is generally ok with silicone, but I personally would go by what the manufacturer says.

You could also try doing a patch test and see how it goes.. -

I have another toy made out of the same material and it's fine with my silicone lube but I thought I'd ask here in case anyone has run into this problem before and also maybe someone from Cal Exotics can comment? :)

Thank you for viewing Dr. Laura Berman's Thor – vibrator review page!



This looks like a larger toy. What is the insertable length and girth of the Thor? Is the flaired head much larger than the rest of the toy?
Thanks for the review.
Wow, I would have thought this wouldn't be THAT great on the vibes since the bullet is in the center of the toy. Glad you reviewed it!
It has a suction cup! I've always wanted a vibe with a suction cup...This thing is so funky looking, I'd never have given it a second glance...Good review! Made me think twice, for sure.
Nice review!
