LELO sent me the INA Thrust rabbit vibrator for review. Contains affiliate links.
Thrusting rabbit vibrators have always sounded like a brilliant idea. You take a rabbit vibrator, add a thrusting mechanism and you’ve got simultaneous internal and external stimulation that should, in theory, feel more realistic and more intense than a standard rabbit.
Unfortunately, many thrusting vibrators fall into the same trap. They move enthusiastically enough, but the sensation often feels mechanical rather than pleasurable, more ‘power tool’ than passionate lover. Others look impressive when you switch them on, but when they’re faced with the resistance of an actual body they lose much of their power altogether.
LELO have attempted to solve that problem with what it calls ‘DynamicThrust’ technology. Rather than simply hammering away at maximum speed, this LELO thrusting rabbit vibrator claims it creates a more rhythmic and natural thrusting sensation. Whether that’s marketing nonsense or a genuine improvement is exactly what I wanted to find out.
After testing it both solo and with my partner, I can say that the INA Thrust is the most effective of the few thrusting rabbits I’ve tried. This makes me extremely happy after my slightly disappointing experience with the Tiani Twist. LELO is back, baby!
It hasn’t replaced the We-Vibe Nova 2 as my favourite rabbit vibrator, and I still prefer the LELO Enigma when I’m in the mood for dual stimulation with suction, but for anyone who prefers traditional vibrations and likes the idea of internal thrusting, it’s a very nice addition to the toy box.

What Comes In The Box?
Inside the box you’ll find the LELO INA Thrust, and then underneath that there is a USB charging cable (although if you already have LELO brand products, you’ll be able to use the same charger. Love them for this), stretchy satin storage pouch, warranty card, user manual and a sachet of their LELO brand lube.
As you’d expect from LELO, presentation is excellent. Nobody does luxury packaging quite like LELO and the INA Thrust certainly feels like a premium product from the moment you open the box.
Design And First Impressions Of The LELO INA Thrusting Rabbit
The INA Thrust looks fairly traditional as modern rabbit vibrators go.
The insertable arm features the thrusting mechanism, while the external arm provides clitoral stimulation through vibration. The silicone feels very soft and smooth and the insertable arm isn’t particularly firm/uncomfortable.
The build quality is exactly what I’ve come to expect from LELO and the little touches – the rose-gold back and the the indicator light on the Thrust which says ‘LELO’ – both make it feel more like a luxury brand.
The clitoral arm is smaller and a little less flexible than the one found on the We-Vibe Nova 2. That isn’t necessarily a problem, but it does mean positioning becomes slightly more important. The Nova’s flexible arm tends to adapt to different bodies more easily, whereas the INA Thrust requires a little more experimentation to find the sweet spot.
My Experience With The LELO INA Thrust
Let’s get straight to the important bit: It worked.
The biggest surprise was that the thrusting remained noticeable throughout use. Many thrusting toys look impressive when they’re switched on in your hand (see the video below for how it operates), only for the movement to become far less effective once they’re actually inserted, but that wasn’t my experience here.
The thrusting motion remained strong and obvious during use, creating a sensation that genuinely added something to the experience rather than simply existing as a gimmick.
I also found the movement more refined than cheaper thrusting rabbits I’ve tested. LELO talks a lot about avoiding a ‘jackhammer’ sensation and while that sounds like typical marketing copy, I can see what they’re getting at.
The movement still feels mechanical because, well, it is mechanical, it’s not frantic and it doesn’t feel like you’re having sex with a strange robot (in fact it doesn’t feel like having sex – so sorry if that was what you were after. It’s a nice feeling but it’s not comparable).
The combination of thrusting and vibration worked particularly well for me and I was able to achieve orgasm both during solo testing and when using it as part of partnered play. That’s worth mentioning because rabbit vibrators don’t always work for me, particularly when they’re relying on a novelty feature to do most of the heavy lifting.
Noise Levels
It’s not marketed as being super-silent but I do like to test sex toys for noise anyway, and a phone decibel meter app at approximately 5-10cm from the toy, I recorded noise levels of around 45dB.
For comparison, that’s broadly similar to the Lovense Ferri, making the INA Thrust quieter than many thrusting toys I’ve tested.
It’s certainly not silent, particularly because the thrusting mechanism creates a slightly different sound to a standard vibrator, but I wouldn’t describe it as especially loud either, particularly when in use.
Controls And LELO App Experience
The controls on the LELO INA Thrust itself are maybe a little confusing. It has a big central on/off button, at the top and bottom are mode selection buttons, and then to the left and right are intensity control buttons; press and hold to glide through the 16 intensities smoothly. To my mind, these should be the other way around, but apparently nobody from LELO asked me before finalising the design.
Fortunately the app makes the controls much simpler.
The INA Thrust connects to the LELO app via Bluetooth. Setup was straightforward and the app provides access to additional vibration patterns, custom settings and long-distance control options as well as local controls.
Note that the app is very good and stable for local play, however it doesn’t yet have integrated video chatting in long distance mode (‘Love Bridge’) and there are other apps which are better for this.
LELO INA Thrust vs We-Vibe Nova 2
This is probably the comparison most people will care about! I have tried quite a number of rabbits and dual stimulators – which I have ranked here.
Top of the list was the We-Vibe Nova 2, which has been my favourite rabbit vibrator for several years. Its larger, more flexible clitoral arm makes it easier to fit a wider range of body shapes and I generally find it more reliable for blended stimulation.
However, the INA Thrust wins when it comes to internal stimulation.
The thrusting mechanism creates a sensation the Nova simply can’t replicate, and if internal stimulation is particularly important to you then the INA Thrust has a clear advantage.
If I could only keep one rabbit vibrator, it would be a very tough choice; I would probably stick with the Nova 2 out of a sense of duty because we’ve been through a lot together over the years. However, if you’re specifically looking for thrusting action, the INA Thrust is easily the better choice and it absolutely wins hands down over any other thrusting rabbits I’ve tried.
LELO INA Thrust vs LELO Enigma Double Sonic
This comparison really comes down to whether you prefer vibration or suction.
The Enigma Double Sonic remains one of my favourite sex toys, full stop. It came second on my list of dual stimulators by virtue of not being a real ‘rabbit’, and also because you probably wouldn’t use it every day as the orgasms it delivers can be so intense you need a lie down.
Its combination of sonic clitoral stimulation and internal vibration is genuinely exceptional and it’s still the toy I’d choose if my only goal was achieving an orgasm as quickly as possible.
The INA Thrust offers a very different experience.
If you’re someone who loves suction toys, I don’t think the INA Thrust will replace the Enigma.
If you don’t enjoy suction stimulation and prefer traditional vibration, the INA Thrust may actually suit you better.
LELO INA Thrust vs The One Thrusting Rabbit
No contest; the LELO INA Thrust is significantly better.
The thrusting feels more effective, the overall experience feels better, it’s much quieter, the build quality is in a different league and I found it far more capable of producing satisfying blended stimulation.
The One Thrusting Rabbit is considerably cheaper, of course, but the difference in performance is obvious.
Is The LELO INA Thrust Worth Buying?
After the mildly disappointing Tiani Twist, I was slightly nervous about whether LELO’s latest launch would live up to expectations. Fortunately, the INA Thrust is a reminder of why the brand has built such a strong reputation in the first place
I’d definitely say that the LELO INA Thrust is the best thrusting rabbit vibrator I’ve reviewed, and one of the best rabbit vibrators I’ve tested full stop.
The thrusting mechanism genuinely adds something useful, the vibration is strong, build quality is excellent and I found it could deliver the kind of blended orgasm most rabbit vibrators promise but don’t always achieve.
Would I choose it over the We-Vibe Nova 2 if I could only save one? Tricky to answer. They’re too different, really, to compare directly – man, I love both. I’ll keep both.
Would I choose it over most other thrusting rabbits currently on the market? Absolutely and without hesitation.
If you’ve been curious about thrusting vibrators but disappointed by cheaper options, the INA Thrust is one of the strongest arguments I’ve seen for the category.
Pros
- Quite effective thrusting mechanism
- Excellent build quality
- Powerful blended stimulation
- Waterproof
- App connectivity
- Quieter than many thrusting toys
Cons
- Expensive
- Clitoral arm isn’t as flexible as the Nova 2
- Suction toy fans may still prefer the Enigma
Final Verdict: LELO INA Thrust Review
The LELO INA Thrust has taken a feature that often feels gimmicky and makes it work.
While it hasn’t definitely dethroned the We-Vibe Nova 2 as my favourite rabbit vibrator, it has become my favourite thrusting rabbit, and that’s a title it earns comfortably.
FAQ for the LELO INA Thrusting Rabbit
Yes. The LELO INA Thrust is fully waterproof, making it suitable for use in the bath or shower and easy to clean after use.
Yes. Like most modern LELO toys, the INA Thrust includes a travel lock to help prevent it accidentally turning on in your suitcase or bedside drawer. Hold the + and – buttons simultaneously for a few seconds to activate or deactivate it.
Absolutely. All of the core functions can be controlled directly from the toy itself. The app simply unlocks additional patterns, custom controls and long-distance features.
I recorded noise levels of around 45dB at approximately 5-10cm away using a phone decibel meter app. It’s not silent, but it’s quieter than many thrusting toys I’ve tested.
The We-Vibe Nova 2 remains my favourite rabbit vibrator overall thanks to its flexible clitoral arm and excellent fit. However, the INA Thrust offers stronger internal stimulation thanks to its thrusting mechanism. If thrusting is your priority, the INA Thrust is the better choice.
At over £200, it’s certainly a premium purchase. However, if you’re specifically looking for a high-end thrusting rabbit vibrator, it’s the best one I’ve tested so far and performs significantly better than cheaper alternatives.
Yes, I was able to orgasm both during solo testing and partnered play. Obviously everyone’s body is different, but I found the combination of thrusting and clitoral vibration very effective.
