Read moreWhile you’re probably a pro at using your hands, there’s a reason the best male masturbators are so popular. When you’re in the mood for something a little more intense than regular old manual stimulation—in the middle of a dry spell, say, or just home alone with nothing better to do—these sex toys feel exactly like the real thing, and sometimes even better. In fact, “research finds that men who use sex toys overwhelmingly report positive impacts on their intimate lives,” says Justin Lehmiller, PhD, a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, author of Tell Me What You Want, and Lovehoney scientific adviser. Plus, male masturbators can help you overcome issues like premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and even erectile dysfunction, he explains. Below, you’ll get the inside scoop on the best male masturbators, tested by Glamour reviewers and approved by certified sex experts. Don’t pretend you’re not curious.

Maude Dome

Why we love it: Entry-level price point; easy to use; easy to clean
What could be better: Can be loud during intense use

Double-sided and alluringly soft, Maude’s Dome is exactly the kind of no-nonsense toy that beginners and experts alike will enjoy. Simply lube it up and start stroking; the open-ended design works well for solo and partnered play, and allows for effortless cleanup with not a hint of shame. “My partner and I were both blown away by this little $35 piece of silicone—we agree that it beats a hand every time,” a Glamour sex-toy tester raves. “The material is super-stretchy and expanded to offer the right tightness without feeling too loose or constrictive. It’s also a way more discreet design than, say, the Fleshlight Stamina Training Unit; you could actually leave it on your nightstand with zero shame, and I’m pretty sure we have. Vigorous, lube-y use is a little loud, but we’ll survive. Cleanup is really easy too.”

Lelo F1S V3

Why we love it: App-controlled; intense hands-free vibrations; waterproof; two sizes available
What could be better: Loud, especially on higher settings; might be too small

One of Lelo’s most underrated offerings, this automatic male masturbator (also known as a blow job simulator) is ideal for solo play, especially if you’re planning to settle in for a longer session. Things get even more high-tech when you download the accompanying app, which turns your phone into a remote control. There are also two sizes available, meaning most penis lengths and girths should be covered. “I was skeptical about how good this would feel, but I was proven wrong—it stimulates from all sides, with explosive results,” a Glamour reviewer says. “The F1S V3 is really worth firing up when you’re in the mood to play for a while, letting the sensations build up over time. I’m sure you could use it for a quickie, though that’s not its edge for me. The app works well and really helps keep things moving when you’d rather not be fumbling with buttons. I don’t love that it’s on the louder side and the lack of an open top, but cleanup is easy enough.”

PlusOne Personal Stroker

Why we love it: Affordable; two unique openings; discreet look
What could be better: Can be loud during intense use

This no-frills toy looks simple, but it’s hiding a few tricks up its sleeve—pun intended. The double-sided interior lets you choose between two sensations: a tighter, beaded end and a looser, ribbed end. That blue shell, meanwhile, protects the silicone from damage while allowing you to customize your grip. When you’re done rinsing it off, set it in its vented carrying case for drying. “The internal material is squishy and skin-like, with a harder external sleeve for better grip, and it feels incredible when you add a bit of lube,” one Glamour sex-toy tester says. “I’m a firm believer that you don’t need to drop a ton of money for a great toy, and this is proof; despite being so affordable, this is one of the best strokers I’ve ever tried. I’m especially happy that it’s open-ended for seamless cleanup—no awkward post-climax scrubbing. Just note that because it’s open-ended, this thing gets loud, so don’t plan to use it if you’re worried about waking up roommates or partners.”

4/8

Tenga Egg Variety Pack

Why we love it: No cleaning required; fits any penis size
What could be better: Not eco-friendly

If you’re brand-new to the world of masturbation toys, these single-use bestsellers are some of the best sex toys on Amazon. “To use them, you simply ‘crack’ the egg open, pour in the included lube, and start stroking. Each one has just enough lube inside and a super-elastic plastic sleeve that stretches to a perfect fit for your penis,” a Glamour tester says. “They’re easy to use and feel more intense than a hand. I also love that I don’t have to worry about cleanup—I can just toss the whole thing in the trash and go on with my life. (I’ve heard of guys reusing them, but I’m good on that one.) I didn’t find the varying textures to make much of a difference in the end, even if the idea of different interiors is fun in theory. They all just felt good, and that’s good enough for me.”

5/8

Arcwave Voy

Why we love it: Adjustable tightness; realistic feel; discreet case
What could be better: Loud; delicate material

The “unique advantage” of this compact men’s sex toy, Dr. Lehmiller explains, is its adjustable tightness. As you thrust into its soft, ribbed interior, you can twist the hard shell to tighten and loosen the canal—and re-create the feeling of a vagina, anus, or throat. “You can customize it for just the right ‘grip’ you’d like to feel,” he continues, which is great since every penis is shaped differently. A Glamour sex-toy reviewer agrees that the adjustable tightness is worth the hype: “It’s fun getting to switch things up with just a few clicks, which is great for simulating different parts of the body. It’s honestly refreshing that there are no vibrations,” he says. “The textured interior feels like a throat or a vagina, which has led to some pretty fun fantasies. The sleek design is another plus, since two lids cover the top and bottom, and make the toy look almost like a coffee cup. I don’t love that the material is more delicate than regular silicone, though. It can tear with more vigorous use or even if you’re washing it too intensely.”

6/8

Fun Factory Manta

Why we love it: Waterproof; ergonomic handle; great for couples
What could be better: Vibrations might not be strong enough

This high-quality vibrating masturbator stands out from the crowd with its unique shape, which features a long handle and rechargeable silicone wings that massage your penis. Because of its ergonomic design, this thing is especially suited to partnered sex—use it as you would a cock ring. And don’t worry about battery life, since it holds up to two hours of juice for playtime. “The wings are very flexible, so I’m certain they can handle most people’s penises. I love that the buttons are on the handle for easy use,” a Glamour toy tester says. “The open end is great for messier play, and while I haven’t yet used it with a partner, I think it would make a great addition to a blow job. It’s surprisingly powerful, and the battery lasts forever.”

7/8

CockBlock

Why we love it: Designed specifically for couples; unique, fun concept; great alternative to penetrative sex
What could be better: Can be tough to keep in place; not ideal for solo use

The world’s first (and only) sex toy designed specifically for frotting—rubbing two penises together—is one of the best sex toys for couples we’ve ever tested. If you and your partner both have penises, it’s practically a must-try; two separate entry holes lead to a large, smooth interior where you’ll rub against each other, which “feels almost exactly like sex,” one Glamour toy tester says. “My partner and I love this as an alternative to penetrative sex. We both get to ‘top’ and it’s so hot, physically and mentally, to rub against each other. Using the CockBlock is a million times better than frotting the old-fashioned way. The interior is nice and squishy, but not too delicate to really go for it. The open-ended design is great for easy cleanup. If I had to critique this toy, I’d call out that it’s a little bulky and can be tough to keep in place in the heat of the moment, but these are just nitpicks. We’ve actually had to start holding back from using it because we don’t want to ruin the magic.”

8/8

Lovense Max 2

Why we love it: Customizable vibrations; connects to other toys via Bluetooth
What could be better: Not waterproof

Lovense makes some of the best long-distance sex toys on the market, including this male masturbator toy that vibrates and contracts to tease you to orgasm. With your partner controlling the interactive show from afar, you’ll never know exactly which different sensations are in store—perfect for keeping the spark alive when you’re apart. (And if you’re flying solo, you can even connect the powerful motor to media and use virtual-reality goggles for a different experience.) “Easy to use, both with or without using the app, though I would highly recommend using the app, as it offers many more features both solo or with others,” a Lovehoney reviewer writes. “I would highly recommend this toy for anyone in a long-distance relationship; a partner can control the tightness and vibration patterns with ease through the app, even if they don’t own the toy itself.”

How we testedOur top picks were independently selected by our editors and in-house sex-toy testers, who use each toy multiple times. We ask them to evaluate objective qualities (material, weight, motor strength, battery life) as well as provide more subjective feedback (overall pleasure) to provide a full picture of each toy’s value. On top of that, we chatted with sex experts about their recommendations; we also took online reviews into account while selecting our top picks.

What else we tested and consideredOur tester found that this extra-wide stroker is best for guys who love intense stimulation that doesn’t feel particularly ski-nlike. “Unfortunately, I felt like I was making love to the Dune popcorn bucket, which wasn’t particularly pleasant for me,” he says. “I found the silicone nubs too hard and most of the vibration settings too high-powered for my taste. It’s also got a wider diameter than a lot of toys in this category, which didn’t make a ton of sense to me. Ultimately, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re looking for something truly intense and a little alien.”

Arcwave bills this toy as the equivalent of a clit suction toy for men; essentially, it blows pulses of air directly at the most sensitive part of your penis. “I won’t say that it feels like how I’ve heard the rose toy described, but it’s a unique sensation that’s great for when I’m craving something different than regular old masturbation offers. If you have money to spend and you’re curious, I’d recommend it,” a Glamour tester says. “I’m not very impressed by the drying case, which doesn’t work as quickly as I’d like it to, but it’s far from a deal-breaker.”

“If you’re looking for a step up in solo play, the Blowmotion is the toy for you,” says Javay Frye-Nekrasova, a sex educator and Lovehoney sex expert. “The sensations replicate oral sex, so you can enjoy a similar experience when your partner’s jaw or mouth gets a little tired.” However, it’s not waterproof, nor is it much more affordable than the Lelo F1S V3, which has so many more bells and whistles that we’d recommend it over this one. The under-90-minute battery life also leaves a little to be desired, although Lovehoney reviewers are generally positive in their feedback.

Whether you’d rather call this affordable, versatile toy a stroker or a pocket pussy—we’ll leave that distinction up to you—Romp’s no-nonsense toy will more than pull its weight during your sex-capades. “[This] is an enjoyable choice for coupled play because it is soft and flexible enough to be squished down for use while also using your mouth,” Frye-Nekrasova says. “The reversibility is also great because it allows you to experience different sensations.” It didn’t make our final list because for $10 more, you can get a more advanced version from PlusOne that scored high marks with our testers. If you’d like to spend as little money as possible, though, this is a great place to start.

Perhaps the most unusual male masturbator we’ve tested, Fun Factory’s Cobra Libre consists of a silicone “mouth” that’s three inches deep. At the back, two rumbly motors provide intense attention to the tip of your penis, which a Glamour toy tester describes as “like receiving a blow job from a robot, but in the best way. This isn’t a pick for beginners, but it’s great for anyone who wants to add a powerful toy to their arsenal. The hands-free design is totally unique and fun to hump or rest on your stomach.” Better yet, a partner can grind on top while you use it. Unfortunately, despite how much we like it, it’s pretty much impossible to find in the United States right now.

What else to know about male masturbatorsWhat types of male masturbators are there?

Among the pantheon of male sex toys—or toys for people with a penis—male masturbators are some of the most popular options on the market. “When it comes to pleasure, the more options we have, the better our sex life, right?” says Andrew Smiler, PhD, a licensed therapist and author of Dating and Sex: A Guide for the 21st Century Teen Boy. “A masturbator can increase the options.”

There’s a huge spectrum of male strokers out there, with products ranging from squishy sleeves (better known as pocket pussies) to high-tech blow job machines. All of them are designed to be penetrated by a penis; the vast majority have a skin-like silicone interior that’s just the right blend of soft and structured. And most of them can be filed into two main categories: sleeves and strokers.

Masturbation sleeves: Great for solo use, these feature longer shafts meant to envelop most or all of the penis at once. You can choose between open- and closed-ended options, depending on what kind of feel you prefer and how easy you want cleanup to be.Strokers: These toys are also known as pocket pussies and are about the length of your palm or less. They’re usually open-ended, making them ideal for couples play. More of your penis will be exposed, meaning there’s more room for mouths, hands, and other body parts to join in on the fun. Some of them have rigid outer shells for structure and easy grip.Plenty of the best male masturbators have no bells and whistles beyond silicone that feels shockingly like the real thing, be it oral sex, vaginal sex, or anal sex. But you can also find vibrating strokers, which add extra sensation for more intense climaxes. If you’re just starting to build your collection, it’s fine to stick to the plainer sleeves; if you’re more of a pro, consider this your sign to take self-pleasure to the next level.

How should you choose the right male masturbator?

“The first step is figuring out what you want and what seems like the best fit for your comfort level and body,” Dr. Lehmiller explains. “A stroker you control with your own hands can be great and won’t set you back much in terms of cost. But every person—and penis—is different! While the high-tech strokers are pricier, they’re more customizable.”

In terms of size and girth, most male masturbators are silicone and can expand to accommodate pretty much any size. If you’re working with a thinner or shorter penis, look for toys with smaller openings and pliable outer shells, which will allow you to squeeze the stroker around yourself. If you have a thicker or longer penis, prioritize open-ended designs so you’re not hitting a wall over and over. Always check the insertable length and the reviews for any adult toy you pick.

How do you use male masturbators?

First off: Lube is nonnegotiable. Personal lubricant is a necessity with these toys, which only feel great once they’re slick. Stick to water-based lube, though, since silicone-based options can actually start to degrade the plastic you’re thrusting into.

From there, sleeves and strokers can be used in any way you like. There’s the classic stroking motion, of course. But you can also hold your toy in place and thrust into it, and hump it, or do virtually anything else you imagine. You can even get into a bit of temperature play to make these toys feel even more like the real thing; submerge the silicone sleeve in warm water for at least 10 minutes before you get started. (Just make sure it’s a waterproof toy before plopping it in the sink.) Experts say you can absolutely use it as a sex toy for couples, whether you use it during foreplay or penetrative sex. There are no rules here—just be creative and have an open mind.

Once the warm, post-climax glow wears off, you’ll need to clean your toy. The vast majority of silicone toys are easy to wash with soap and water, so don’t worry about loading up on lube and letting bodily fluids fly because washing afterward is simple. Whichever stroker or sleeve you go for, give it a scrub after every use, rinse well, then let it air-dry completely.
