I practically jumped out of my door when this package arrived. The Thruster came in a plain white box, no label or anything. Inside was the toy and its charger. I didn't waste any time getting it on the charger since patience is a virtue that I didn't have at this point. The USB charger is magnetic, and like most other toys, the power button blinks as it's charging and then has a steady light when charging is complete. Once it got a decent charge, I decided to play around with the settings. You turn the toy on by pressing and holding the power button for about 3 seconds. The toy will immediately start to thrust. I was surprised that the lowest speed is still actually pretty fast and that there were still 2 more speeds after. One thing that did immediately stand out to me was the noise. It seemed pretty loud, but then again, I'm sure it didn't help to be out in the open in a fairly quiet room. Another thing was that this was smaller than I had expected. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, I do prefer my toys to have a decent girth that way, they're more filling. Hopefully, this guy has the motion of the ocean part down to make up for it. Another thing is that there is no adjustment for the vibration, as well as no option to turn it off.

Also, this is 100% childish, but the material at the base of the dildo that covers the thrusting part will form a seal with the cap of the tube, and yes, it will make a "pop" noise when you open it next. So maybe avoid pulling it out in the heat of things if you don't want to risk breaking out in laughter.

I have the feeling that this is going to be a solo-session toy for right now, so that's where I started with it. I started off on my back since that's usually what's most comfortable for me when I'm trying out a new toy. Starting out was a little bit of a struggle because I wasn't quite sure how to hold it or how far in to put it, so I more so felt that just the bottom part of the "case" was moving instead of the dildo. Once I figured out that you can't insert it ALL the way, then the thrusting actually started. Personally, I found that I have to lube up the toy and myself quite a bit because if there's any resistance, it'll cause the toy to slow down a considerable amount. Although if you're naturally a wetter person, you may not have to, but I usually end up having to use lube any time penetration is involved. I will say that I've never been that lucky person to cum from just vaginal penetration alone, but pairing this with a vibrator on my clit made me finish ridiculously fast. I'm talking probably a minute or less once I started using the vibrator. So I'd say that this is a pretty solid toy for a warm-up! It was nowhere near as loud as I was expecting it to be, and it'll be pretty muted if you like to be covered while you get yourself off. My only complaint is that while I was using it by itself, I couldn't feel the vibrations. Like, at all. Not that it's a deal-breaker for me, especially because it doesn't affect me to not feel them, but if you're the kind of person that prefers dildos that vibrate, be warned that the vibrations are pretty weak when the toy is going.

My only thing is that I didn't notice it warming at all. Granted, I didn't have it on before using it, so it might have been hard to tell. I'll have to turn it on for a minute or so before using it to see if I can tell the difference in temperature.

Honestly, not much changed from the first impressions. Experience is almost exactly the same; however, I do think I'd like to experiment with this toy in different positions, mainly from behind as well as upon my knees as if I were riding someone. There's a lot of potential for this toy, and I could see it being used anally as well with the correct amount of prep work beforehand. For now, I'll stick with using it with my new vibrator since those two make an awesome pair.

I will give a warning, I found this a bit difficult to clean. The dildo itself isn't the hard part; it's the silicone that kind of accordions. When the toy is on, those folds are obviously opening and closing, allowing lube and other things to collect between them. But when it's off, the toy retracts so it can fit inside the case, and those folds close. You obviously can't clean it while it's on, so it's a pain in the ass to attempt to clean that without almost ruining the toy.

I found the toy's vibration to be really weak, so much so that I couldn't feel it at all while the toy was on.

I didn't orgasm using the toy by itself but paired with some kind of clitoral stimulation; it was a nice, quick finish. I wasn't arching my back and grabbing the sheets, but at least it didn't leave me hanging.
