Gender-X Velvet Hammer Thrusting Vibrator with Remote Control

The Gender X Velvet Hammer is a wearable, two-motor remote control vibrator that pairs a thrusting, thumping shaft with a flat, stingray-shaped external arm. Each end has its own 10-speed motor, so you get internal and external stimulation at the same time, and the wireless remote lets you or a partner change things from up to 25 feet away. It's a strong pick for anyone who finds ordinary vibration too surface-level and wants movement they can feel deep inside.

What "thrusting and thumping" means here

Most vibrators buzz. The Velvet Hammer's shaft motor pulses and propels instead, which Gender X likens to a frenzied massage. The sensation is more of a rhythmic knocking pressure than a hum, closer to tapping than tickling. Meanwhile the stingray-shaped feeler on the outside vibrates conventionally, giving you two very different textures at once. Both motors run together, and the sculpted ridges along the silicone add a little extra grip.

Wearing it

The toy is designed to stay in place without a hand on it. Once inserted, the external arm rests against the body, which anchors the shaft and keeps the feeler in contact as you move. That frees both hands, so it works for solo play while lying back or during partnered play where the wearer's partner holds the remote. It's under half a pound, so it doesn't drag. Gender X doesn't specify vaginal or anal use on our supplier sheet; if you plan anal play, check the instructions in the box first.

Why a remote control vibrator suits partner play

The remote is small, about 2.4 inches tall, and has an LED that lights up while the toy is running. It works up to 25 feet away, which covers a room or the next room. Handing it over is half the fun: let a partner surprise you with changes in speed, or keep it yourself and reach the controls without fumbling at the toy. The remote runs on a CR2032 coin battery, which is included; keep a spare in the drawer. If you like this style of hand-over-the-controls play, our remote and app-controlled vibrators collection has more options to compare.

Size and fit

The insertable part is 4 inches long. Overall the vibe measures 5.36 inches tall, 3.5 inches deep and 1.63 inches wide. That's a moderate, approachable length, and the thrusting action rather than sheer size is what gives it intensity. Take time with lube and position before turning it up.

Water, charging and care

The Velvet Hammer is fully waterproof and submersible, so it can come in the bath or shower; the ABS remote should stay dry. The toy recharges with the included USB cable. Wash the silicone with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner after every use, and pair it with a water-based lube to keep the surface in good condition.
