XR Thrust 'N' Grind Thrusting Grinding Pad Vibrator with Remote

The XR Thrust 'N' Grind is a grinding vibrator that turns any chair, sofa cushion or bed into a small ride-on saddle. A purple silicone pad sits flat under you; on it stands a short shaft that thrusts and vibrates, and behind that a ribbed mound buzzes against the perineum or anus. You control everything from a wireless remote, which leaves both hands free while you rock and grind.

What's on the pad

The pad is 9.3 inches long and 4.2 inches wide, so it fits on a seat without hanging off. The shaft has a round head with ribs along its lower half, offers 4 to 4.5 inches of insertable length and is 1.6 inches across at its widest. It thrusts about half an inch up and down, which feels more like a steady, pulsing push than long strokes. The ribbed rear mound rises 1.6 inches and sits where your body naturally rests when you lean back.

Riding a grinding vibrator

Lay a towel on the chair and set the pad on top. Lube the shaft and yourself with water-based lube, then lower yourself slowly and settle your weight before turning anything on. Begin at the lowest of the 4 speeds and let the thrusting do the work while you sit still. Once you're comfortable, rock forward to press your vulva into the pad or lean back to feel more from the rear mound. The 7 patterns change the rhythm; cycle through them to find one that matches how you like to move.

Remote control and partner play

The remote works up to 16 feet away. Solo, keep it in your hand or drop it beside you. With a partner, hand it over: they can change speeds from across the room while you ride, which makes it a good toy for teasing games. Both the pad and the remote recharge by USB.

Who it's for, and who it isn't

The Thrust 'N' Grind suits people who climax from grinding and pressure more than from deep strokes, and anyone who wants a hands-free toy that packs away small. It's less suited to those who want long, deep thrusting: the shaft is short and the stroke is half an inch. For that, look at our sex machines. If you like grinding but don't want penetration, XR's Hell's Angel vibrating grinder gives you a pad without a shaft.

Water and cleaning

XR rates it IPX6, so it can be used in the shower and rinsed under the tap, but it shouldn't be submerged. After use, wash the pad with warm water and mild soap, paying attention to the ribs and the base of the shaft, rinse, spray with toy cleaner and pat dry. Keep the remote dry.

Travel

Because it's a flat pad rather than a full saddle machine, it fits in a suitcase or a large drawer. Charge both pieces before a trip, and pack the remote separately so buttons aren't pressed in transit.
