We’ve decided: the least sexy word in the bedroom is “mechanical.” Just think about it. The word conjures up images of boredom and routine, sexual pleasure demoted to a search for some distant orgasmic destination rather than an engrossing journey to be enjoyed along the way. We all know this. So why do so many sex toys make self-pleasure feel repetitive and unintuitive, like the worst “mechanical” sex?
Finding pleasure should feel fluid and natural, an experience that grounds you in the present. And realistic, varied movement matters: many women actually prefer variation over consistent speed. But traditional sex toys often fall back on repetitive or aggressive, “jackhammer” movements. Using your sex toy should feel like the best lay you’ve ever had, not some disappointing one night stand. Surely, we can’t be the only ones bored here – right?
In search of a sex toy to banish “mechanical” from our minds, we knew exactly who to turn to: LELO. We’ve been fans of LELO’s luxe sex toys for a long time. They consistently make intuitive toys that are actually fun to use, a huge step up from the clunky vibrators we used to rely on. And, of course, they’d already come up with a toe-curling toy designed to mimic the natural motions of penetration: the LELO INA Thrust.
Read on for our honest review:
What Exactly Is The INA Thrust?
Imagine your classic rabbit vibrator. (You know, the kind that blows Charlotte’s mind on Sex And The City.) The kind that, in reality, gets the job done, but rarely surprises you. Don’t get us wrong, this kind of toy is a classic for a reason — its dual stimulation design means you’re getting strong external clitoral stimulation while also reaching your internal G-Spot. But LELO has leveled-up the dual stimulation design with an added element that had our heads spinning: DynamicThrust.
Thrust Us, It’s Worth It.
Dynamic. Thrust. Having experienced it firsthand, even typing those words sends a tingle up our spines. Basically, LELO has added a thrusting motion to their INA design, so the toy pumps inside of you, just like a real lover. And this isn’t some mechanical, jackhammer thrusting. This is toe-curling, keep-you-guessing, next-thing-you-know-you’re-orgasming action. Somehow, the wizards at LELO have figured out how to create a truly naturalistic thrusting pattern that builds alongside your pleasure. The powerful penetration felt totally immersive, even when we were playing with the device settings to find that sweet spot.
In short, you’ve got one device, and two supercharged methods of stimulation.
Versatile Vibrations
The thrusting motion isn’t the only element that impressed us. The INA Thrust feels like a fully customizable pleasure experience: it has 16 vibration intensities and 10 vibration patterns, so you can build your ride however you want. The more we used it, the closer we got to dialing in our sweet spot. A note for vibrator-lovers with roommates or thin walls: the thrusting element makes it so the toy isn’t totally silent (especially compared to the unbelievably ultra-quiet LELO toys we’ve tested), but we were really impressed with how quiet the vibrations were considering the toy’s powerful performance and added thrusting component.
Upgraded Design & Connectivity
Call us spoiled, but being LELO converts means we’ve started taking excellent design for granted. Using LELO toys feels like an upgrade on every level from your standard sex toy, and the INA Thrust is no exception. Its sculptural lines make it both intuitively ergonomic to use and beautiful to look at, plus it’s made from super soft, body safe, truly 100% Waterproof Silicone. We tested the INA Thrust in a sexy shower session and let’s just say it exceeded our expectations…and made us run up our water bill.
Another thing we really loved about the INA Thrust was its connectivity. It was super easy to connect the INA Thrust to the LELO App and access all kinds of features that made our sessions more satisfying. No spoilers here, but there was a mode called Finish Me Off that really got the job done.
Bottom Line: Is The LELO INA Thrust Worth The Price?
In short, absolutely. It hit every spot we could imagine during solo sex, and was a surprisingly fun addition to partnered sessions (calling all exhibitionists, this one’s for you!). Like all the LELO toys we’ve tested, it has easy set up, incredibly intuitive design, and is made from high quality materials that are clearly made to last.
But the thing that really sold us on the LELO INA Thrust was its realistic thrusting rhythm. The LELO INA Thrust is the toy that truly banished “mechanical” sex from our minds for good.
