HORRORSTORIES

As a fan of Honey Play Field’s Joi (a lot so I even gave one away final 12 months!), it’s been thrilling to see this now award-winning vibrator get the like it deserves. And with the US-based model unsurprisingly capitalising on this success, quite a lot of follow-up toys have since been added to what’s now the Joi assortment. I needed so badly to get my arms on both the Joi Professional or Joi Thrust once they first got here out, with the previous together with a distant management and the latter providing thrusting and app compatibility, but prior obligations meant I used to be unable. So I bided my time, and after my critiques of the OLY 2 and RORA 2 just a few months in the past, I knew the same model of the Joi with superior capabilities couldn’t be far off. And I used to be proper, as a result of right here I’m now with the brand new Honey Play Field Joi Thrust 2.

Product Description

So what’s new? Properly, should you learn my earlier evaluate on the unique Joi, the details is that as a substitute of rotating, the Honey Play Field Joi Thrust 2 now thrusts, as per the identify, and that it’s also appropriate with the most recent model of the Honey Play Field app that I coated with my earlier critiques for the model and in my App Spherical-Up. Which means, in contrast to the primary technology Joi Thrust, the toy additionally options their stress controls and vaginal temperature detection. In any other case, this toy is meant to nonetheless be the identical outdated Joi, with its uncommon rabbit-like form and its little mouth, flapping tongue included. Nonetheless, one thing else I’ve observed that isn’t talked about on the model web site is the large change to its vibrations. While the unique Joi had two of its 4 motors devoted solely to this, with one in every of the shaft’s bulbs, the Joi Thrust 2 has zero. I’ll speak extra on this later, however primarily they’ve now mixed the “vibrations” with the thrusting motor. Additional small modifications then turn out to be obvious when evaluating the 2 side-by-side. As an illustration, the tongue on the Thrust 2 is barely greater, the “lips” are extra pronounced, the buttons have been flipped, and there’s no emblem beneath them. As well as, while the general form is identical, the linework is totally different, with this being notably apparent on the portion of the shaft that extends throughout thrusting, because it options some skinny frivolously ribbed silicone, serving to it to stretch. A reflective panel of rose gold ABS plastic then stays on the again, that includes the Honey Play Field bee, and slightly below this you’ll discover the magnetic plates for the charger to hook up with. Lastly, identical to the unique, this model of the Joi is waterproof, USB rechargeable and produced from body-safe supplies, and while it’s anal-safe it isn’t supposed for this use. 

Packaging

My order for the Joi Thrust 2 was positioned with Honey Play Field on the 2nd of August and I acquired it promptly on the ninth. The package deal was then 100% discreet, with no point out of the sender or what was contained inside. The field for the Joi Thrust 2 itself was then precisely what I’ve come to count on from the corporate, with their constant branding and packaging being one of many few mainstays of the intercourse toy business over the previous few years. A small image of the toy on the entrance and a few info on what it could possibly do on the again, this outer sleeve can then be eliminated to disclose a largely discreet white field beneath, which is ideal for storage. Opening this, you’ll then discover the toy resting safely in foam, alongside its charging wire and luxurious gold branded storage bag, in addition to an app information and consumer guide. After repeated previous points, I’m completely satisfied to see that the app information has been up to date as soon as once more, now not together with a ineffective QR code for additional directions. However it nonetheless doesn’t actually supply any assist outdoors of find out how to obtain the app and join the toy, and while I don’t suppose together with extra detailed directions are actually crucial for app-controlled toys, it does really feel like they’ve gone again on their earlier dedication to bettering it. Lastly, as with previous Honey Play Field toys, the Joi Thrust 2 comes with a one 12 months guarantee.

Sudden Points

The primary time I went to make use of the Honey Play Field Joi Thrust 2 was an enormous disappointment… as a result of it didn’t activate! I had totally charged it the day earlier than and had not turned it on but, so I used to be involved it was damaged. I popped it again on cost and took it off after a short while, however once I tried turning it on once more.. it was effective. Soooo I totally charged it as soon as extra, went to make use of it the following day…. and positive sufficient, it didn’t activate. It appeared my copy of the Joi Thrust 2 was unable to carry its cost for various hours, an unusual fault that I’ve seen just a few instances in intercourse toys. I bought in contact with Honey Play Field straight away, and while they have been very shocked to be taught of the problem, saying it’s one thing that has by no means occurred earlier than, they have been completely satisfied to organise a alternative. My new order was positioned on the sixteenth of August, and this took a bit bit longer, arriving on the twenty ninth, though it was fortunately simply as discreet. As for my new copy, it’s precisely the identical because the earlier Joi Thrust 2, simply with out this fault. Moreover, one different distinction is the storage bag, which is inexperienced and gold as a substitute of simply gold.

Charging

Charging the Honey Play Field Joi Thrust 2 is straightforward since it’s USB rechargeable. As with my unique Joi, you’ll simply must plug one finish right into a USB port after which place the opposite finish over the metallic plates on the again of the toy in order that the 2 can join magnetically, which is kind of sturdy. Charging ought to then take 2 hours, with this supplying you with one hour of use, and the lights on the toy will flash when charging after which turn out to be regular as soon as full. Sadly, these instances are the exact opposite of the unique Joi, that means that the charging length on this model has doubled while solely offering half the runtime. Moreover, Honey Play Field recommends charging the toy earlier than first use.

Controls

Talking of opposites, it appears Honey Play Field have additionally determined to flip the controls on the Joi Thrust 2, not solely complicated previous OG Joi followers like me, but additionally making their placement much less intuitive (since beforehand they have been closest to the top they managed). The symbols on them are nonetheless simple to learn although, with the tongue-like image controlling the exterior arm and the 2 arrows controlling the thrusting. Then, one other change is that while the unique Joi had its two buttons work fully independently of each other, this product removes that potential and provides a stand-by mode, each of that are virtually definitely due to it now being app-controllable. Thus, to show the toy on or off you’ll wish to maintain down the thrusting button for 2 seconds. You’ll be able to then proceed clicking this button to cycle via the 9 thrusting modes, with three of those being regular speeds and 6 being patterns, and at any level you may additionally use the tongue button to show this facet of the Joi Thrust 2 on, biking via one other 9 modes that are the identical because the thrusting. Moreover, as with my previous two Honey Play Field toys, this product additionally makes use of stress controls, which implies that the tighter you squeeze the toy, the tougher it vibrates (though this has but to work in precise use). As normal, this features properly when in my arms, with any stress utilized to the bulb closest to the buttons ensuing within the thrusting and tongue each working at various regular speeds.

The App

It’s been 5 months because the final time I attempted the Honey Play Field app, and in that point it looks as if it’s been via a reasonably large replace! You’ll be able to learn my full and up-to-date ideas on it at my Intercourse Toy App Evaluation Spherical-Up, however the largest new characteristic is certainly having inbuilt companion play. Beforehand you’d ship a URL to potential companions for them to regulate your toy by way of the net while you’re linked to the app, and while this was good in some respects, it was limiting in different methods, for example your companion couldn’t talk with you on the identical time. Now, while this selection stays, you possibly can additionally connect with a companion throughout the app, and even video or voice name them on the identical time. Plus, one other replace is Spotify integration, with it seamlessly controlling the toy via the music you play throughout the Spotify app. Sadly although, this new model of the app can also be probably the most glitchy I’ve seen, and I struggled to run even fundamental features inside it, with virtually each facet of it breaking throughout my checks. As a consequence of this, I’ve now diminished my total score of the app from 3/5 to 2/5, that means that at its current state, it doesn’t make for an excellent companion for the Honey Play Field Joi Thrust 2. Moreover, when pairing each of my variations of this toy to the app for the primary time, I needed to wait a couple of minutes while it accomplished a software program replace, so that is one thing you’ll wish to organise upfront so that you aren’t ready for it mid-session.

First Impressions

The primary time I went to make use of the new Honey Play Field Joi Thrust 2 was additionally an enormous disappointment… as I realised: the place are the vibrations? Marketed as a vibrator and promoted as having “vibrating G-Spot stimulation”, together with on the Honey Play Field web site, the packaging, and within the directions, it seems that this toy does not characteristic any vibrations. What I realised as a substitute is that almost all (however not all) references to vibrations point out the Joi Thrust 2 having “thrusting vibration patterns”, and so what I feel Honey Play Field imply is that when the thrusting is activated, the toy does really feel a bit like it’s vibrating as a result of motion of the shaft. On the finish of the day although, this isn’t vibrations, and so I’m extraordinarily disheartened by this. To not point out that the twin vibrations throughout the unique Joi have been one of many key points to it, and I used to be excited to see how these felt mixed with the thrusting. As for the remainder of the Honey Play Field Joi Thrust 2, the tongue is certainly extra highly effective than earlier than, not solely being bodily bigger but additionally extra proof against stress. Plus, the thrusts additionally work properly, with a very good velocity and extension vary, even when they don’t actually evaluate to different current dual-stimulator thrusters just like the ZALO Mose and YoYoLemon Rabbit. As for the noise stage, that is undoubtedly louder than the unique Joi, not simply the thrusting however the tongue too. Nonetheless, contemplating thrusters are infamous for being loud, the Joi Thrust 2 is definitely not too unhealthy, which is a a lot wanted win for this product.

My Expertise

Though the Honey Play Field Joi Thrust 2 appears to be like the identical as the unique Joi at first look, this newer toy truly has barely totally different proportions. Principally, it’s bigger, being longer and thicker in some areas, however in the case of the shaft it’s truly slimmer, with a most diameter of simply 1.47″ / 3.7cm. This, mixed with a extra tapered head, helps with insertion, though since that is nonetheless a bit massive for an inner vibrator, warming up first with a smaller toy just like the Funkit Toys NoFrillDo R aids additional. Sliding it in, I then bear in mind what I favored a lot concerning the unique Joi: its positioning. With the primary bulb resting simply earlier than my A-Spot and the second below my G-Spot, the exterior arm then matches completely on my clitoris to finish the triple stimulation. It’ll require to be pushed ahead a bit greater than the unique Joi although resulting from that improve in size, however this isn’t an excessive amount of of an issue. Turning it on is then simple, and you may both maintain it in place in the course of the thrusting or tightly shut your legs for hands-free play. While I miss the vibrations, with their absence eradicating any probability for A- or G-Spot stimulation (which is a disgrace when the toy is so shut!), the thrusting, which is one thing I beforehand needed to do myself, is certainly a welcome addition and in the end extra stimulating to my insides than earlier than. Plus, the improve to the exterior finish may also be totally felt in use, with the tongue being rather more stimulating and in addition far much less susceptible to pausing or stopping completely. Combing the 2, I can then merely sit again and let the Joi Thrust 2 do its factor, with orgasms being each faster and extra highly effective than on the unique mannequin. As for the stress controls, as per normal these didn’t work at first. Nonetheless, when linked to the app, I discovered that if I positioned the sensitivity to 70, it lastly began responding!!!!! That is my third Honey Play Field toy to have this operate, and the primary time I’ve truly gotten it to work precisely. It’s nonetheless probably not that useful since I should be in that specific app menu, and I fail to even see the purpose of getting the toy reply to my kegel actions, however not less than it’s one thing.

Cleansing & Care

Cleansing the Honey Play Field Joi Thrust 2 is straightforward since it’s waterproof. Simply throw it in some heat soapy water whenever you’re completed and provides it a fast wash, though you may also wish to go over the strains and ridges on it with a spare soapy toothbrush. You’ll be able to then rinse it and go away to dry, earlier than storing it in a zip-lock bag or the storage bag it got here with to maintain it clear. Moreover, ensure to not use silicone-based lubricant with this product, as it could react badly to the silicone it’s made from, however should you do then first carry out a spot take a look at.

Last Ideas

False promoting isn’t a time period I like to simply throw round right here. However it has been a unbroken downside for Honey Play Field over the previous few years, and the Joi Thrust 2 actually appears like a fruits of that. This can be a vibrator that doesn’t vibrate. A intercourse toy that gives stress controls and vaginal temperature detection, although neither work persistently. An app-controllable toy with an app that’s barely functioning. And let’s not overlook that that is my second copy of the Joi Thrust 2, because the first couldn’t even maintain a cost. I want these have been one-off points, a small stumble for a corporation that has maybe grown too quickly. However as a substitute that is simply one other in an extended line of toys that fail to fulfill their product descriptions, and as a reviewer it makes me query whether or not I can proceed to help such a model. Fortunately, I did truly take pleasure in utilizing this toy, which is definitely an enchancment from my final Honey Play Field evaluate, and while there are components I miss from the unique Joi, I definitely agree that this mannequin is much superior. And in addition to, on the finish of the day, this toy is known as the Joi Thrust 2, and thrust it does. Plus, whereas it nonetheless has an extended solution to go earlier than it reaches the extent of lots of my different thrusters (together with final 12 months’s Prime 10 toy: the less expensive YoYoLemon Rabbit), I can confidently say it’s the finest thruster with a clitoral tongue attachment I’ve tried thus far (to be truthful, the competitors wasn’t precisely powerful). Total, I’d warning anybody shopping for this toy for any of its app-related options, its stress sensitivity, and, in fact, the “vibrations”. However, should you have been a fan of the unique, or if the combo of flapping tongue and inner thrusting actually speaks to you, then that is nonetheless a worthwhile choice.
