Design

Nothing says, "cyborg romance" like silicone skin stretched over a mechanical arm. The design of the Eclipse Thrusting Rotator Probe feels reminiscent of The Terminator's leather-gloved hands, and it's just as intimidating... I'm not sure whether that's a bonus, but I know it'll tickle somebody's fanny — I mean, fancy! That being said, the fingerprint texture on the rotating head is a tantalizing detail. The curved shaft and bulging "fingertip," also, look sufficient for prostate stimulation. Not to mention, the mirrored base is perfect for... Wait, why is there a mirrored base?

Ease of Use

Operating the settings (outside of the body) was easy enough. The same button controls every function: hold for 3 seconds to power on/off and press to filter through settings. Managing these functions during use was significantly more challenging. The probe must be fully inserted before powering on. This eliminated the option of easing into thrusts. To make matters worse, users must power off the probe PRIOR to removal. This means that any pain or discomfort must be endured for the time it takes to find the power button, hold it down for 3 seconds, then remove the probe. That's a pretty serious flaw in my book.

Quality

I don't have high hopes for the longevity of this product. A hollow chasm resides between the silicone shaft and the core. While the internal mechanics feel sturdy, the silicone skin is thin and flimsy. One tear and the electronic components are rendered inoperable. Not to mention, they're loud. A mechanical screech accompanies each thrust and rotation, like little elves going to town on a spring mattress. The only quality points I can attribute to this probe are for the body safe silicone, the rechargeable battery, and the 45-minute battery life.

Price

The Eclipse Thrusting Rotator Probe retails for $96 at Hustler Hollywood. The price is comparable to other thrusters, like the ZALO Desire Pre-Heating Thruster or ZALO Rose Rabbit Thruster; however, both ZALO products boast luxury designs and high ratings. The Eclipse is comprised of two motors, combines three functions, and includes a battery with a 45-minute run time; so, I'm sure it's a fair price for the materials, engineering, and assembly involved. That being said, $96 is a pretty steep price to have my rectum devoured.

Performance

I don't know what experience I expected, but it wasn't this. While the vibrations are rumbly, they're weak. The shaft has the range to thrust long strokes. Once inside the body, it lacks the power to follow through. It's just enough force to be uncomfortable; yet, it wouldn't feel safe reengineering at a higher strength. As mentioned, the accordion folds pinched the rectal and vaginal tissues. Without a tapered neck, the probe must be held in place. If the accordion slips out of place, expect to feel chomping on your sphincters. To top it all off, the motor gets hot.

Packaging

The probe was enclosed in a plastic case, which was slipped into a cardboard box. While this packaging proved sufficient for transit, I prefer the added security of a tamper resistant seal. This reassures users that they are the first to enjoy their purchase. The presentation may have been lackluster, but that matters little to me if the product performs well. For all you storage bag lovers, you'll be disappointed; but it does come with a charger and user guide tucked neatly behind the plastic.

Materials and care

Only use water-based lubricant with silicone toys. A thick, gel-like consistency is preferrable, as the viscosity cushions motion and slows evaporation. After use, wash thoroughly with a sex toy cleanser and warm water. Allow the surface to fully dry before storing. Excessive heat or cold may damage electrical components or result in battery combustion. So, no boiling! Power off the toy if it becomes overheated, and discontinue use if any tearing is present in the silicone.
