Tracy’s Dog Beta Rabbit 3-in-1 review: Dual stimulator with ‘sucking’ and ‘swing’ features that fumbles its potential

Rabbit vibrators are perhaps one of the most enduringly popular types of sex toys ever since they first appeared on the market back in 1984.

Their popularity skyrocketed after the 1998 Sex & the City episode “The Turtle and the Hair“, in which the women stage an intervention because they believe Charlotte is becoming addicted to her rabbit. (The concept of “sex toy addiction” is highly problematic and largely unscientific, of course, but then again, it was the ’90s.)

The problem with a lot of rabbit vibrators, however, is that they’re simply not very good.

Clitoral suction toys are a much more recent addition to the sex toys market, having been introduced by Womanizer in 2014, and they’ve taken the pleasure-loving world by storm, with Womanizer’s original products spawning thousands of copycats, knock-offs, and derivatives, and many users now saying they couldn’t be without their favorite trusty clit sucker.

So of course, some sex toy companies have thought to combine these two incredibly popular toy types into a single product.

And that brings us to where we are today, reviewing the Tracy’s Dog Beta Rabbit as one example of this form factor.

The Tracy’s Dog Beta is a rabbit vibrator with a difference: instead of the usual ‘rabbit ears’ external vibrator, it features a clitoral suction stimulator alongside the insertable shaft.

In addition, the internal arm also makes a ‘come hither’ motion designed to mimic the stroking motions of a person’s fingers inside the vagina and against the G-spot. It has an ergonomic curved handle, which is easy and comfortable to hold, and rippling ridge detailing on the underside of the insertable shaft.

The Beta measures 9.5-inches in total length, with 5-inches of that being insertable. Its diameter is around 1.4-inches at the widest insertable point.

It is made of ultra-soft, body-safe dark purple silicone, with a decorative pink plastic panel on the back.

The Beta is IPX5 water resistant. This means it can withstand jets of water, but cannot be safely submerged. I would expect a toy at this price point to be fully waterproof, which is pretty disappointing, but at least it makes cleaning it easy. It is also USB rechargeable, but the battery life of only around an hour from a full charge isn’t great.

I switched on Tracy’s Dog Beta, and I immediately remembered one of the main reasons I think most rabbit vibrators are badly designed: they treat clitoral stimulation as an afterthought. The internal arm of the Beta offers an impressive 10 settings, but the clitoral stimulator has only three.

Real talk: the vast majority of people with vulvas orgasm primarily from clitoral stimulation, not penetration. To create a toy that claims to do both but treats the clit as an add-on rather than the main event is to fundamentally misunderstand the anatomy of a large percentage of your target audience.

The Beta’s clitoral suction stimulator is reasonably pleasurable (though still not particularly intense) on the highest setting, but I would have preferred it to offer far more different options and some higher speeds.

The internal arm did not fare much better in my initial assessment. The vibrations are extremely buzzy and not particularly strong. You also cannot use the come hither motion without the vibrations, which makes the former (which I loved, more on that in a minute) less pleasurable overall. Surely the opposite of the intended effect.

Positioning is also an issue. The shaft and clitoral stimulator are both flexible, which is a positive. This means it will work for more bodies than a fixed, inflexible design would. However, despite this flexibility, I still struggled to get the Beta into a position that worked for me.

When the clitoral stimulator was in the right place, the internal arm was poking me painfully on my vaginal wall, and when the insertable portion was positioned correctly the external part kept falling off my clit. Not exactly promising for a toy that is sold as a dual stimulator.

Now that I’ve complained about the aspects of this toy that didn’t work for me, let me sing the praises of its one positive attribute: that come hither motion!

Simply put, this feels fantastic, like a firm finger stroking my G-spot in a consistent, rhythmical motion. It’s so good that I can almost ignore how annoying and buzzy the accompanying vibrations are.

The Beta is also relatively quiet compared to many similar toys. The come hither motion still makes the distinctive whirring and squeaking noise that is common for this type of toy, but it is nowhere near as loud as some I’ve tried. It passes the “closed bedroom door” test.

The Beta is not currently compatible with the Tracy’s Dog app, which only works with the Surreal lipstick vibrator at the time of writing (and ‘works’ is a pretty loose definition of the word there). In the future, app controls might be a way to improve the user-friendliness of this toy, as well as add more ways to use the different motors and settings in combination.

As it currently stands, the Beta is controlled by a simple three-button interface. The middle button turns the toy on and off, the top one controls the internal arm, and the bottom one controls the external arm. The controls are easy to understand and use, and the buttons are easy to press.

I feel like I complain about this a lot, but toys with multiple settings really should have dual-directional controls. Having to scroll through all the settings just to go back one step is super annoying, and a recipe for pulling yourself out of the mood and possibly even accidentally ruining your orgasm.

You can control the Beta’s clitoral and internal stimulators completely separately, or even use one without the other if you like. However, there really should be another button to control the vibrations in the shaft separately from the come hither motion or to switch them off entirely. Lots of people don’t enjoy internal vibrations but may prefer the G-spot stroking action without them.

Ultimately, I think this toy suffers from trying to do too many things and not doing any of them particularly well. Even the one thing it does do well —the internal stroking mechanism— is let down by the accompanying vibrations.

It’s possible the Beta would work brilliantly for someone else’s body, and the 4.5 stars out of five on the Tracy’s Dog site would suggest it works well for plenty of people. But it didn’t work for me at all, and I ended up tossing it aside in frustration and reaching for a reliable fave to finish the job.
