XtoysRev Thrusting and Vibrating Male Masturbator Review: Worth It?
Editor's opinion
The Rev is a rechargeable thrusting and vibrating masturbator aimed at buyers who want more than a static sleeve, with seven functions and a turbo mode for added intensity. It suits those comfortable with a firmer, rigid-bodied toy and willing to keep up with cleaning and lubrication, but it is not the most discreet or minimalist option out there.
Most masturbators rely on sleeve texture and grip alone to create sensation, leaving the user to do all the work. The Rev takes a different approach by adding motorised movement, specifically a thrusting action combined with vibration, so the device itself contributes to the experience rather than sitting passively in the hand.
That added mechanism brings both opportunity and trade-off. A thrusting and vibrating unit means more moving parts, a firmer outer housing to contain them, and a slightly more involved care routine than a simple stroker. Buyers weighing this up should think about what they want from a toy: hands-free dynamic sensation, or straightforward simplicity.
The good and the bad
What works
- Combines thrusting and vibration for a more dynamic feel than vibration alone
- Seven functions, including three speeds and four patterns, plus a turbo mode for extra intensity
- Removable TPE sleeve makes thorough cleaning realistic after each use
- USB rechargeable, so there is no reliance on disposable batteries
- Simple press-and-hold and +/- controls keep operation easy to manage
What to be aware of
- Rigid ABS housing means this is a firmer, less pocketable device than a soft-bodied stroker
- TPE material is porous, so it needs water-based lubricant only and thorough drying before storage
- Thrusting mechanism adds bulk and complexity compared with a simple non-motorised sleeve
- Turbo mode and multiple functions mean more buttons to learn than a single-speed toy
Buy it if
Buyers who already enjoy standard masturbators and want to try hands-free thrusting motion alongside vibration, particularly those comfortable managing a rechargeable toy with multiple settings.
Skip it if
Anyone wanting a minimalist, ultra-discreet or fully soft-bodied toy should look elsewhere, since the rigid ABS housing and thrusting mechanism make this bulkier and more mechanical than a basic sleeve.
Design and How It Works
The Rev pairs an internal thrusting motion with vibration, which the brand positions as more varied than vibration on its own. Controls are kept deliberately simple: a press-and-hold main button for power, a +/- button to step through the seven functions, and a dedicated lightning bolt button for turbo mode.
Those seven functions break down into three speeds and four patterns, giving a reasonable spread between gentle and intense without overcomplicating the interface. The turbo button acts as an extra gear on top of the regular settings, useful for anyone who wants a quick jump in intensity rather than cycling through modes to find it.
Materials and Build Quality
The outer housing is ABS, a rigid plastic chosen for durability and to house the internal motor and thrusting mechanism securely. This means the Rev will feel notably firmer in the hand than toys built entirely from soft silicone or TPE, which is worth knowing if you are used to a fully yielding exterior.
The sleeve itself, the part that makes contact during use, is TPE. It is soft and flexible, but as a porous material it needs water-based lubricant rather than silicone-based, and benefits from being kept clean and fully dry between uses to stay in good condition over time.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The sleeve is removable, which is one of the more practical features here, since it allows for proper cleaning rather than trying to reach inside a sealed unit. After each session, take the sleeve out, clean it as the material requires, and let it dry completely before putting the device back together.
Storage matters too. TPE holds up best away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, so a drawer or dedicated pouch out of a warm bathroom or windowsill is the sensible choice. This is slightly more upkeep than a wipe-clean silicone toy, but manageable if it becomes routine.
How It Compares
Against a standard non-motorised masturbator, the Rev offers meaningfully more: thrusting and vibration working together, rather than relying entirely on manual movement and sleeve texture. That makes it a step up in complexity and in what it asks of the user in terms of care, but also a step up in what it can deliver sensation-wise.
Compared with simpler vibrating-only strokers, the added thrusting mechanism is the main differentiator, though it does come with a firmer ABS shell and a slightly bulkier footprint. Buyers who have found vibration-only toys limiting are the most likely to appreciate the difference.
The bottom line
The Rev is a reasonable choice for anyone wanting to move beyond a basic stroker into something with genuine motorised variety, provided they are comfortable with a firmer housing and the small extra effort of proper TPE care. It is not the toy to pick if minimal fuss and a fully soft exterior are the priority, but for those wanting more dynamic sensation it offers a sensible range of settings at a manageable level of complexity.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use any lubricant with the Rev?
No. Because the sleeve is made from TPE, a porous material, only water-based lubricant should be used. Silicone-based lubricant can degrade TPE over time.
Do I need batteries for this device?
No. The Rev is USB rechargeable, so it can be topped up from a mains adaptor, computer or power bank rather than needing disposable batteries.
How do I clean the Rev after use?
The sleeve is removable, which allows for thorough cleaning after each session. Clean it according to the material's needs, then let it dry fully before reassembling and storing the device.
What is turbo mode and how is it different from the other settings?
Turbo mode is activated by a dedicated lightning bolt button and provides an extra jump in intensity on top of the seven regular functions, which include three speeds and four patterns.
Is this a good first masturbator for someone new to motorised toys?
It can be, though it is worth knowing the housing is rigid ABS rather than fully soft, and that the thrusting and vibrating mechanism makes it more involved than a simple non-motorised sleeve.
