Stronic Drei Review:

It's exciting to stumble onto new subcategories of toys, today's object of desire is the Funfactory Stronic Drei.

Don't know how I'm supposed to pronounce that, it honestly sounds like some sort of magical German sword, but luckily names matter very little when it comes to actually using these pulsating toys. The Stronic Drei is designed to push and pull itself inside of you. Of course, lube is essential during this experience as it isn't something you want much friction with. Can't be letting drag get the best of you, but there's a lot going for this style of sex toy that I find very desirable.

The shape is a bit different compared to most of my silicone dildos for sure, but it doesn't thrust in any way comparable to sex, so I honestly don't think I'd have liked a toy shaped more like the real thing. Anyways, I'll get to the fun stuff now.

Here's some vital information about the Drei:

As I've said already, the Stronic Drei is a "thrusting dildo" made from 100% body safe silicone

It's a 9.5'' long vibrator shaped like a little bumpy curved sword. Of those 9.5'', 5.5'' of this toy from Funfactory are insertable, and the widest point of this toy is 1.67'' in diameter. That's to say, it's pretty heavy duty in size alone.

Now as much as I'd love to call it a thrusting vibrator, that's not really part of the equation here. A bit of the force does transfer in a way that feels similar to a vibrator, but this toy is by and large a pulsator as opposed to a vibrator. For whatever reason the shops that sell this toy use the word "naturalistic" a lot, but I think that's underselling this toy big time. It isn't natural, it's a dildo that can move itself back and forth in perfect, exact increments. Sex toys should really stop trying to describe their toys by comparing the experience to real sex. I understand it's the most accessible thing to describe, but there's not a single toy on the male or female spectrum that is really similar to sex besides the fact that orgasms are involved.

So to further explain, three buttons control all of the action on the Stronic Drei. The big red FUN button (common to all of their toys) is the on/off switch and the plus and minus control what pattern you're on. It'll start on the medium setting and from there it's up to you to take a step up or down or navigate your way to the pulse setting that's a bit more stop 'n' go. For those who find themselves on the move with their dildos, it has the ability to be locked so it doesn't accidentally turn on. You can't really be to careful these days, I suppose.

Obviously we'd all love to know how the rechargeable battery does with this new way of propulsion. It's surprisingly a pretty good workhorse with 3 hours of playtime on a single charge. I usually find ways to hate on toys that charge with the magnetic prongs for chargers, but besides how delicately they snap on and off, it charges just as well as any plug toy I have. 

Much to my delight, the toy is completely waterproof so there's nowhere you can't bring it with you.

Turns out I was on to something when I mentioned the German name. It is German and translates to the Stronic 3. The other Stronic models have their own special outer design, the Drei's is a little different, for sure. Its ribbed shaft and light curve that goes right for the G-spot is what makes it so distinct.

Some of the firmest silicone I've ever encountered makes up the exterior of this toy. It isn't too supple and doesn't have much give to it, and has a big of drag to it if you try to run your finger down the length of the toy. Lube is entirely essential for this toy unless you happen to be one of the lucky women who are downright fountainesque in your ability to provide your own lubrication.

To the best of my knowledge I'm somewhere in the middle, so I made sure I'd have enough lube to deliver me through the entire experience. I've never tried it without lube, but I'd imagine it's less than ideal.

This is also one of those toys where you need to plan out how you're going to use it a little bit. I don't really advise turning the toy on and  letting it make its way inside of you on its own. Typically I'll use it as if it didn't have any power to get myself used to the individual ridges and allow the lube to properly spread around. In my experience, I'll usually then bring it to the entrance of my vagina and turn it on, but once or twice I felt like turning it on when it was pretty close to fully inserted and I managed to get away with it. 

You're probably wondering exactly how this toy "thrusts". Well, it doesn't push itself itself, but the motor provides very reliable forward motion, almost like the toy is trying to escape your grip.  The thrusts are fairly shallow, but on the right settings with the right technique this toy has rightfully earned a spot on my list of most interesting vibrators.
