Thunder Plugs Vibrating Thrusting Remote Control Silicone Anal Plug

What it is

The Thunderplugs Vibrating & Thrusting Silicone Anal Plug is a rechargeable silicone anal plug with a motorized shaft and a separate wireless remote — the wording on the package front, under a tall Thunderplugs wordmark set against a lightning-bolt graphic. It carries two separate functions, each with its own marked button on the remote: vibration, printed on the pack as three speeds and seven patterns, and a thrusting action that drives the upper section of the shaft up and down along its own axis. It is matte black from tip to base, and it sits in our sex toys range as a powered insertable rather than a static plug.

A closer look at the shape

The plug is built in four distinct zones. The tip is a rounded, tapering bulb — the widest part of the upper body, narrowing to a smooth nose. Below it the shaft steps in to a ribbed collar of close-set rings, then draws down into a slim waist before swelling again into a second, lower bulb. That alternating wide–narrow–wide profile is the standard plug silhouette, and the waist is the narrowest point on the whole body.

The base is the most distinctive part of the shape. Rather than the usual flat disc, it flares into a wide saddle with a raised ridge running along its spine and two swept wings either side, broad enough that the piece lies flat on a surface. Directly above that saddle, on the underside of the shaft, is the powered housing — a rounded, slightly squared pod that holds the motor, the cell and the single control button.

One detail is worth calling out because it is what makes the thrusting possible. Between the tip and the lower body there is a short concertina section — a stack of tight silicone folds, like a bellows. That is the travel joint: it stretches and compresses as the upper section moves, so the outer silicone surface stays continuous over a section that is changing length.

Controls, remote and charging

There are two ways to drive it. On the powered housing itself there is one button, marked with a pale blue power glyph, sitting in a recessed oval panel. The wireless remote is a flat, rounded puck carrying three controls: an upper button marked with a pair of opposing up-and-down arrows, a plain oval button in the middle, and a lower button marked with a wave glyph. The arrows correspond to the thrust, the wave to the vibration. The Thunderplugs wordmark and lightning bolt are printed across the foot of the remote face.

Power comes from an internal rechargeable cell — the pack prints a "rechargeable" icon, and there is no battery hatch, seam or door anywhere on the body. Charging is done through a magnetic contact plate set into the side of the housing, next to the power button. A round white magnetic puck carrying two small pins clamps onto that plate and holds itself there; the lead running off it ends in a standard USB-A plug, so any phone charger, laptop port or power bank will do the job. If you are comparing it against other powered pieces in our vibrators category, that charging style is the practical difference you will notice day to day.

How to use it and look after it

The single button on the housing switches the unit on; the remote works from there, with the arrow button governing the thrust and the wave button the vibration speeds and patterns. Top the charge up whenever the run time starts to drop off.

Because this is an insertable, generous lubricant is not optional — use plenty of it, and go slowly. A plug of this shape is normally eased in as far as the narrow waist and then left in place, with the saddle base resting flat outside the body. That base is the safety feature: it is wide and strongly flared, and it should always stay outside.

For cleaning, wipe the silicone down with warm water and a mild, unscented soap, then dry it completely before putting it away. Keep the magnetic contact plate dry and clean, the same as you would with any electrical contact. Store it out of direct sunlight and away from other silicone pieces, and keep it somewhere its own button will not be pressed against something else in a drawer.

Who it's for

This one is aimed at adults who already know they enjoy anal play and want a motorized piece rather than a manual one. Combining thrust and vibration in a single unit puts it a step past a plain plug, and the remote makes it workable for partner play, where one person holds the controls. Its saddle base and matte finish also put it comfortably alongside the rest of our BDSM and fetish gear, where hands-free wearability matters more than the outline of the piece.

If you are entirely new to anal play, the honest answer is that a smaller, unpowered plug is the easier starting point — this one has a tapered tip but a substantial second bulb behind it, and a motor that moves while it is in place.

Good to know

• Adults 18 and over only. This is an adult novelty device, not a medical or therapeutic product.
• Silicone care. The body is silicone. Silicone-based lubricants can soften silicone surfaces over time, which is why a water-based lubricant is the usual recommendation for pieces like this one.
• Anal-specific safety. Anything used anally needs a flared base, and this one has a very pronounced one. Never remove or modify it, and never use a toy anally that lacks one.
• Where a specification is not printed on the packaging, this listing leaves it out rather than estimating it. If you need a dimension or a rating we have not listed, ask us before you order.
• General references. California's Proposition 65 program publishes consumer information at the OEHHA Proposition 65 site and a set of chemical fact sheets. These are general public references about consumer products in California; neither refers to this product.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Thunderplugs plug made of?

Silicone. The package front names the item a silicone anal plug and carries a "Premium Silicone" feature icon, and the insertable body — tip, ribbed collar, waist, lower bulb and saddle base — reads as one continuous matte black silicone piece rather than an assembly of parts.

How many vibration settings does it have?

Three speeds and seven patterns, both printed as feature icons on the package front. They are driven from the wave-marked button on the wireless remote, and the thrusting action has its own arrow-marked button separate from them.

How does it charge, and is there a battery to replace?

It charges magnetically and there is no replaceable battery. A round two-pin magnetic puck holds itself against a contact plate on the side of the housing, and its lead ends in a standard USB-A plug. There is no battery hatch anywhere on the body.

Does it come with the remote control?

Yes — the remote is part of the product, and the package front names the item "with Remote Control". It is a flat, rounded puck with three buttons: thrust, a central control, and vibration.
