The 11 Best Male Masturbators, Tested by Sex Experts

The Fun Factory Manta earns gold for its ingenious, ergonomic design. This open-ended vibrator features velvety soft silicone “wings” that wrap around your willy, where they then work over-time supplying rumbly vibration. “The wings are designed with ridges along their inside, which enables them to hold lubricant in place for added sensation,” says Finn. (Quick PSA: Silicone toys cannot be used with silicone-based lubricants so be sure to order some water-based lubricant with your order for optimal slide and glide).

During solo play, simply situate your shaft between its arms and either let the vibrations alone bring you to orgasm, or you can move the toy up and down as you might your fist. You can also place the Manta at the base of your penis during partnered intercourse, which will transform your penis into a vibrator and enable everyone to feel the vibes, says Finn. “You can use the Fun factor Manta to enhance the sensations of a blowjob, by using the fluttering wings against your testicles or perineum while your partner goes down on you, too,” they say.

The Tenga Flip Orb may be orange, but this luxury toy is wearing silver. This toy is a masturbation sleeve that engulfs your penis as fully as cornmeal does a corn dog. The inside of this male masturbation sleeve is… wild. It consists of what Tenga calls a solid end orb, cross rampart, geared edge, and dynamic flick orb. Put simply, it is lined with four different, unique textures, all different shapes, which make for distinct pressures and sensations.

“The hourglass shape of the outer makes it a perfect fit for the user’s hand,” explains sex educator Rika Adachi, the global marketing manager with Tenga, the brand responsible for this toy. Plus either side of the outer features pressure pads, which makes it easier for them to control the internal pressure and the sensations of the inner details, she says. Also noteworthy is the fact that the toy flips open, which makes lubing the toy up and washing it easy-peasy.

Thanks to prostate massagers like the Loki Wave and Bruno, Lelo is beloved by many men and prostate-havers. Launched in July of 2024, the Lelo F1S V3 may be newer to the brand’s product line-up but it’s already a best-selling male masturbator.

Insert your penis into this stroker, turn it on, and it immediately goes to work stimulating the tip of your penis with SenSonic technology which transmits pleasurable pulses that travel all the way down your tool, says Sparks. While you can up the ante by moving this toy up and down, you don’t have to, she says. “No extra thrusting or hand motions are required.”

The biggest draw to the Lelo FS1 V3, however, may be the fact that it is outfitted with AI. Yes, really! “The AI interactive mode allows the toy to learn your every movement, which it then uses to create vibrators made specifically for you,” says Sparks. This penis stimulator can also be connected to the Lelo app, which enables long-distance lovers to control the vibration patterns from afar.

Pros

• Great beginner option
• Inexpensive
• No clean-up
• Travel-friendly

Intrigued by the idea of a male masturbator but not yet convinced it’s worth the coin? Start with a Tenga Egg. These six-dollar, single use masturbation sleeves offer a similar feel-good sensation of other masturbators, without the commitment of a hefty price tag.

To the naked eye, the egg may look small. But actually, the elastomer that the toy is made out of can stretch around penises of any size. Once in position, the user can wrap their hand around it and stroke up and down. “Because it is single-use, cleaning up is easy. Just throw the product out when you’re done,” says Adachi.

Purchasing the Pride Edition of the Tenga Egg helps the brand support the LGBTQ+ community, as 100% of the profits get donated to LGBTQ+ organizations, according to him. However, there are also neutral-color options, as well as egg “crates” which include 6 or more eggs.

Pros

• Great addition to solo
• Stealth design
• Can be used during oral sex
• Easy to clean
• Reasonable price-point

One way to zhuzh up your solo sessions is with the Arcwave Coy. “It is designed for penis stimulation, but it is a device you control with your own hand,” says social psychologist Justin Lehmiller, PhD author of Tell Me What You Want. To use it, you’ll slide your penis inside then cycle through 8 different settings. These settings allow you to use varying pressures (not vibrations) to stimulate your penis. “The advantage of being able to adjust for pressure is that you can customize it for the “grip” tightness you’d like to feel,” he says.

The open-ended structure, as well as the body-safe construction, make the Arcwave Voy as easy to clean as male masturbators get, says Finn. Because it’s compact and comes with two protector lids for each end, it is the perfect travel sex toy, they say.

Worth mentioning: This stroker is also a great addition for partnered play. “You can use the Voy while receiving oral sex, for example, by placing it on the base of your shaft but leaving the tip exposed so your partner can stimulate the super-sensitive glans for an all-encompassing sensation,” says Finn.

Dubbed the World’s First Ever Guybrator when it was launched in 2013, the Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo has more than a decade of making penis-owners—and their partner’s—come. Shaped like a taco shell, this body-safe, ABS plastic vibrator is designed to swathe your shaft with sensation, says Sparks. The inside of the toy is lined with little platelets that oscillate (read: vibrate) back and forth against your penis. The best part? Once in place, the Pulse stays in place on its own which frees up your hands for other things (wink).

To be clear: It isn’t just the inside of this penis toy that vibrates—the outside does, too. In fact, the underbelly of the toy has its own motor, which means the sensations it transmits are intense. If using this toy with a partner, experiment with positioning the “bulky” side of the Pulse on the top of your penis and having your partner straddle you. From here, you can grab the remote-control to cycle through the 3 different vibration patterns.

Actually, the fact that this toy has a remote control is what psychotherapist and sexologist Joy Berkheimer, PhD, LMFT an expert at SXWA, a sexual wellness award platform, loves about it so much. “Not having to think about the setting allows someone the ability to relax all muscles and fully take in the vibrations,” she says.

From a sheer design standpoint, the Lovense Gush is a champ. Made from stretchy silicone, this ultra-adjustable penis sleeve can wrap around penises of all sizes. Designed to be totally hands-free, it will stay on your penis providing feel-good sensations, without requiring any movement from your arm, wrist, or hand at all.

The toy can be paired with the Lovense app, which enables you to switch between the 10 different vibration patterns for hands-free splendor. Its app capabilities also make it a great option for long distance relationships, says Dr. Berkheimer. Whether you’re controlling the toy via your smartphone or your long-distance lover, doing so ensures some serious fun—the app itself is seriously engrossing and even gives you the option of syncing the sensations to music.

Calling all butt-stuff fans, this sex toy is for you. An anal-safe prostate massager, “the Vector is a great choice for those who want to incorporate anal stimulation and prostate play into their masturbation,” says Dr. Lehmiller. And notably, more people with prostates should be exploring that erogenous zone as “many find that prostate stimulation results in more intense orgasms,” he says.

The unique C-shape of this massager allows it not only to hit your prostate—transmitting rumbling vibrations to the area as it does—but also stimulate your perineum. The perineum is a highly nerve dense hot-spot that often goes overlooked, notes Finn, and applying pressure to both spots can lead to intense, full-body orgasms, they say.

Vector is also remote or app-controlled, they add, meaning that you can share the reins to your stimulation with a partner from any distance. “You can also customize your sensations during solo play easily via your smartphone instead of having to do a reach-around to access controls on the toy itself.”

Pros

• Uses unique air stimulation
• Focuses sensation on the frenulum
• Open top enables easy clean-up
• Lightweight design

Don’t let the fact that the Arcwave Ion looks like a kitchen appliance keep you from exploring the pleasure it can offer! “This male masturbator provides targeted stimulation to the frenulum, which is a very sensitive area located on the underside of the penis where the head and shaft meet,” explains Dr. Lehmiller. Described as a pleasure air stroker, once your penis is inside the Ion, the toy uses air stimulation to you, much in the same way that clit suction toys do. “The pulsating airwaves offer a unique way of stimulating pleasure receptors that you won’t find with other toys,” he says.

Other perks of the Arcwave Ion include the fact that it has an open top for easy clean-up, is totally waterproof which keeps bathtub masturbation on the table, and is lighter-weight than competitor strokers.

If you primarily focus your attention on the tip of your penis when you whack off, then the Fun Factory Cobra is built for you. This penis vibrator is made to fit right over the head of your penis, much like a wine preserver goes over a bottle of unfinished red. Once in place on your nerve-dense needle, switch it on and the vibrator starts delivering rumbly vibrators right to the glans (tip) of your penis.

Notably, there are 11 different vibration settings which range from “lazy rubbing” to “absolutely cranking”. So, no matter the type of intensity you enjoy, the Fun Factory Cobra will be able to deliver it.

Pros

• Re-creates the sensation of oral sex
• Intuitive button display
• Uses vibration, texture, and oscillation to stimulate
• Easy to hold
• Cup can be removed and used as a sleeve

If you’ve wound up on the naughty side of TikTok—or have a partner who has—you’ve heard of the Rose Toy, which is a category of rose-shaped clit suction toys that have gone viral for their discrete shape and pleasurable technology. Well, there is now a version of that toy made for penises: The Male Rose.

“A counterpart to the Rose vibrator, the Male Rose does the trick on penises,” says Marla Renee Stewart, MA, is a sexpert for Lovers sexual wellness brand and retailer. “Attached to the toy’s handle is a stretchy cup lined with 94 stimulating pleasure nubs with mouth-shaped opening,” she says. Once turned on and combined with lubricant, the stoker combines its textured inner with strong vibrator and 360-degree rotation to pleasure every inch of your penis. “It creates the feeling of moving in and out of someone’s mouth,” she says. Fun!
