Did you know that the first rabbit vibrator hit the shelves way back in 1984? Designed by Vibratex (of Magic Wand fame), it was called the “Rabbit Pearl” and featured rotating beads inside the shaft for added stimulation. Those of you who are my age or older might remember when a 1998 episode of Sex and the City, titled “The Turtle and the Hare,” featured that very same toy. While that episode did not age well (the concept of “vibrator addiction” needs to die), it cemented the rabbit vibrator’s enduring popularity. Why am I banging on about this now? Well, because I recently received the Chalovelo Thrum, a modern triple stimulation vibrator that returns to that classic “beads in the shaft” rabbit design of old.

Chalovelo Thrum Triple Stimulation Rabbit Vibrator

The Chalovelo Thrum is a rabbit vibrator measuring 9.7″ in length and 1.3″ in diameter at the widest insertable point. Its design is the classic rabbit shape, with a rigid insertable shaft with a slightly bulbous head, and a flexible clitoral stimulator. At the end of the clitoral stimulator there’s a little ball and, as previously mentioned, the shaft contains a series of rotating beads.

The internal stimulator wiggles back and forth in a “come hither” motion, the beads expand and contract, and the clitoral stimulator vibrates.

The Thrum is a triple stimulation vibrator designed to stimulate the G-spot, clitoris, and A-spot simultaneously. For those who aren’t aware, the A-spot refers to the anterior fornix, an erogenous zone located deep inside the vagina close to the cervix. I’ll be honest, I’m not really a deep penetration gal and I prefer things to stay far away from my cervix. However, some people find this area intensely pleasurable to stimulate. To learn more about the often-overlooked A-spot, check out this informative piece by Kate Sloan.

The Chalovelo Thrum is made of body-safe pale pink silicone. It is rechargeable via the included magnetic cable, and IPX-6 water resistant (non-submersible.) It comes with a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty.

Chalovelo Thrum: Pros

Let’s start by looking at the things I liked about the Chalovelo Thrum triple stimulation rabbit vibrator.

I like the curved tip of the insertable shaft, which allows for targeted G-spot (or A-spot, if that’s your thing) stimulation. Those who prefer a more rigid toy will enjoy the firmness of the Thrum’s shaft. The come-hither motion of the internal stimulator is also excellent. Its short, rapid movements mimic the sensation of fingers against the G-spot.

I surprised myself with how much I enjoyed the feel of the beads in the shaft. This design seems to have fallen out of fashion in recent years and I’ve never actually tried a beaded rabbit before. I thought the sensation might be uncomfortable but, with some warmup and plenty of lube, it was surprisingly pleasurable. When I inserted the toy only part-way, I particularly enjoyed the feeling of the beads around my sensitive vaginal opening.

The design of the clitoral stimulator is interesting. Though it lacks a lot in practice (see below), I like the idea of the ball tip.

I like that you can control the settings of each of the two arms independently. The two-button interface is quick to learn and simple to use. The handle sits comfortably in my hand and the buttons are intuitively placed for quick settings changes during use without losing your flow.

Chalovelo Thrum: Cons

My main complaint about the Chalovelo Thrum is a complaint I’ve made about so, so many double and triple stimulation vibrators over the years: it treats the clitoris as an afterthought.

Though I like the ball tip design of the clitoral stimulator, that’s about the only thing I like about it. This external shaft and the ball are both far too flexible. This makes it impossible to get any significant pressure, and as soon as I move the toy (or move against it), it just loses contact with my clit. The motor’s power isn’t bad, but it is extremely buzzy.

I thought it was a well-known fact by now that clitoral stimulation is essential for the vast majority of people with vulvas to reach orgasm. In a double or triple stimulation vibrator, the clit should be the main event, not a poorly-conceived add-on.

I also found the single-directional controls frustrating and, though the separate settings controls are good, I would have liked the option to have one motor switched on and the other completely off.

Finally, as with virtually all thrusting or “come hither” toys, the noise is enraging. It makes a sort of high-pitched squeak that is incredibly distracting and uncomfortable to a sound-sensitive person like me. I can’t really blame Chalovelo for this, to be fair – again, virtually all toys of this type make this sound and I think it’s unavoidable – but it still detracts from the overall user experience.

Thrum Triple Stimulation Rabbit Vibrator: Verdict

There are aspects of the Thrum triple stimulation rabbit vibrator that I really like, and aspects that I find incredibly frustrating. The internal stimulation portion of this toy, with its come-hither motion, rotating beads, and firm yet slightly curved shaft, is excellent. However, the clitoral stimulator is really quite shockingly poor by comparison, which left me feeling “blah” about the whole experience.

If there was a new version of this toy with a more rumbly external motor and a more thoughtfully designed external shaft that wouldn’t slide off my clit every three seconds? I’d be interested.

The Chalovelo Thrum triple stimulation rabbit vibrator retails for $39.90 directly from the manufacturer.

I’ve featured a lot of different types of dildos on this blog up to now. Tentacle dildos, dragon dildos, unicorn dildos, and of course, my personal faves: sparkly dildos! A demon dildo, though, is a new one on me. Based on the mythical creature of the same name, today we’re looking at the ONI by Mr Hankey’s Toys.

What is the Mr Hankey’s ONI?

The ONI by Mr Hankey’s Toys is a silicone dildo available in four sizes, ranging from Small (7.1″ insertable length, 1.87″ diameter at the widest point) through Medium, L/XL, up to XXL (12.75″ insertable length, 3.26″ diameter at the widest point.) Since even the smallest of these sizes is by no means “small”, I might be inclined to rename them Large, Extra Large, Fucking Enormous, and Oh My God Are You Actually Kidding?, but that’s just me.

The ONI dildo features a demon face, complete with horns, in the centre of the shaft. It is ultra curved and heavily textured along all sides, with ridges, swirls and bumps. It has a thick shaft at the bottom that tapers up to a slimmer head.

Like most Mr Hankey’s toys, it is highly customizable. You can choose from the four sizes I’ve already mentioned, four firmness levels, and 25 colours. You can also add a metallic effect and a Vac-u-Lock hole for a sex machine, if you like.

I received the ONI in size Medium, which measures 10.75″ in total length, 9″ in insertable length, and 2.33″ in diameter at the widest point. I chose metallic green in medium firmness with no Vac-u-Lock hole.

ONI Demon Dildo: What I Liked

I was drawn to the ONI because it’s so different to anything I’ve tried before. I wasn’t really sure if it would work for me. But I had to try it just because I don’t have anything similar in my collection. My experience with textured toys has been mixed.

My first observation about the ONI is that it’s not really a toy I can thrust with. The in-and-out motion means that the ridges and bumps along the back irritate my sensitive vaginal walls pretty quickly. This is much more a “put it in and enjoy the sensation” kind of toy. (Which is actually convenient because it’s also heavy as fuck, so I imagine thrusting with it would become pretty tiring pretty quickly!)

Here’s what else I liked about the ONI:

It really is very aesthetically pleasing! I don’t have a monster/demon kink, but I love this dildo’s combination of ornate swirls and the beast-like ridges along the back of the shaft. The metallic green shade I chose is gorgeous. I suppose red would have been more traditional, but I like my toys in bright and unexpected colours.
The tapered tip makes the size far more manageable than many of the extra large toys I’ve tried. By beginning with a slimmer end that gradually widens, the user’s body can warm up and open up to gradually take more of the toy.
That curve tho! The ONI’s curve is so pronounced that you can get amazing G-spot or prostate stimulation from even just using the first two or three inches. Since the chances of me getting this entire toy inside me are slim-to-none, I appreciate that I can enjoy it even so.
When I’m in the mood for it, I do enjoy the texture. I chose the medium firmness, which is a good balance between allowing the texture to be fully felt and ensuring it doesn’t become “so intense it’s painful.”
Even with the medium-firm density of the silicone, it still has a decent amount of flex and a little squish to it. This, too, aids in comfortable insertion and use.
That little lip that sticks out at the base of the shaft could theoretically stimulate the clitoris when the toy is inserted all the way. I can’t actually use it like that because, as I mentioned, there’s no way this entire thing is getting inside me. But you potentially could, if that’s your thing! It’s a cool design feature, anyway.

Bonus pro tip: if you have a clit and you can position the toy suitably to make this work, the texture on both sides of the shaft feels amazing for grinding on. You’re welcome.

Potential Downsides and Things to Consider

Like many Mr Hankey’s products, the ONI is… sizeable, to say the least. The combination of the large size and the heavy texturing will mean it won’t work for everyone. If you’re new to textured toys, I recommend getting the smaller size, and if you’re new to extra large toys I suggest starting with a smoother one before you try something like this.

This is a toy that requires a lot of warm-up and a lot of lube. It’s large, it has a lot of texture, and the silicone is pretty matte. This isn’t a “get off quickly and go” type of toy!

Due to the intense curve of this one, it stands up okay on its own but doesn’t balance very well when you apply any kind of pressure or movement. If you’re someone who likes to use your dildos hands-free, this probably isn’t the one for you.

All the ridges and little nooks can make the ONI a bit of a pain to clean. Boiling it is the best way to remove bodily fluids and kill off bacteria between uses.

ONI Demon Dildo: Verdict

A gamble of a choice for me, but one that paid off! This toy is unique and different, with a fantastic curve (thank you!) and some interesting texturing. It’s sure to appeal to monster fans, fantasy toy aficionados and serious texture lovers. I can’t honestly say it’s going to enter my regular rotation of toys, as my tastes generally skew towards smaller, smoother, and simpler, but it’ll definitely get some occasional use.

The ONI demon dildo retails starting from $119.95 for the small size. Larger sizes and additional customisations increase the price accordingly.
