Unfortunately, when trying to become a cam girl, boy, or anything else in between, they don’t provide you with a handy little guidebook to let you in on all the secrets of the trade.
I mean… We do have a guide on how to get started with online sex work, but we’re special!
So if you’re wondering how to make money as a cam model &/or work on Chaturbate, what are the best camming sites, and how to best protect yourself, definitely read the guide mentioned above!
It not only has everything you need to know about how to become a cam model but also has a ton of information on other ways to make money online as well!
Still, the lack of information is a real shame since most performers end up turning to unsafe and toxic materials when trying to choose their sex cam toys.
This is why we’ll cover the best tools and toys to help you connect with your audience like there’s no tomorrow. There’ll be no discrimination either! As we have something for male and female performers alike.
While most of the sex cam toys and tools on this list are specifically catered to the profession, it doesn’t mean that dildos ( realistic, unrealistic, fantasy, or XL ), male masturbators, butt plugs, wands, g-spot, prostate toys don’t have a place in a cammer’s toolbox.
So we definitely encourage you to browse all of our best toys lists so you can make some quality and healthy decisions when it comes to choosing your sex cam toys.
Also, make sure to see our guide on what lubes to use as well as how to clean your toys to avoid any complications.
That being said, here’s our list of the best camming toys & tools, not necessarily from worst to best, because everyone’s needs and budgets are different.

Chaturbate / Tip Controlled Vibrators
There’s a lot of money to be made in the camming business ( with revenues commonly ranging between 2000$ & 14000$ dollars a month ). One of the main ways to incentivize viewers to tip more in public rooms is to use toys that react to tips.
While people used to rely on hacks that work on toys that react to sound ( like most OhMiBod toys ) there are now toys made with built-in integration for those who work on Chaturbate. So not only does it give you more control over your viewer’s experience, but they are also much easier to set up and integrate into your Chaturbate work routine.
Lovense
Lovense is the only big company out there with toys that have features specifically catered for sex cam performers.
These webcam vibrators are compatible with most of the popular cam sites available today. These powerful rechargeable toys will seamlessly work with the interface of almost any platform you’re using. You definitely won’t find that kind of compatibility anywhere else!
And Lovense’s toys will work just as well for Skype shows as they perfectly double as a couple’s toys as well. All you have to do is both have the app on your phones and exchange codes and you’re good to go!
You can set any of these cam toys to react to viewers’ tips, dishing out bigger and stronger vibrations the more your audience spends.
Which is a great incentive for them to finance your operation!
They’re also a huge improvement over the classic Ohmibod toys that needed lots of fiddling and hacking for them to work for that purpose.
Their most popular toy is the Lush.
This powerful toy is intended for vaginal use only, though that isn’t stopping a lot of people from misusing it. But be careful, lacking a proper stopper, using this toy anally will put you at risk of losing the toy into the depth of your own self!
It’s also worth noting that the tail end of the toy is the antenna. So if the antenna is between your legs, or lost somewhere in your butt crack, it will be harder for the signal to reach its target. Therefore, it is important that you keep that part of the toy in the open at all times!
If you prefer external stimulation, you might prefer the Domi wand.
It’s compact and super rumbly, so you might want to add this one to your personal collection on top of your professional one!
One of the advantages over the other toys is that you can also ( subtly ) create some space between you and the toy when you find all those tip-activated vibrations overwhelming. And anything that can make Chaturbate work a little more comfortable is a big plus in my book!
Lovense’s Hush 2 is a powerful vibrating buttplug.
It comes in 4 sizes, from 1 inch in diameter to 2.25! The vibrations are as powerful and rumbly as any other Lovense toys and this time around, you don’t have to worry about losing the toy inside of yourself!
For male cam models who enjoy a bit of penetration, the Edge 2 is pretty hard to beat.
Like the other models, it offers pretty strong vibrations, with motors on the perineum and prostate.
The Edge 2 also features a completely adjustable prostate arm. So If you’ve had issues in the past with the fit of your prostate toys, this is as good as it gets.
Otherwise, if you prefer to let your dick do the work, the Max 2 is a pretty awesome alternative.
It vibrates and contracts by itself while still allowing you to stroke at your leisure. It’s absolutely a welcome addition to the roaster because there aren’t a lot of options when it comes to Chaturbate for men.
Plus, if you’re into that kind of stuff, there’s also a realistic vagina replacement sleeve for it!
Lastly, while I’ll cover affordable Chaturbate fuck machines below, the Lovense Gravity is probably your most affordable alternative of them all.
It’s a handheld mini fuck machine with all the features you would expect from a Lovense toy. Sure it might not be the most performant handheld thrusting dildo ( you’d have to look at the Velvet Thrusters for that! ), but it’s definitely the most feature-packed.
Most importantly, it’s the only toy of this type that can be controlled through tips or any partner from any distance!
There are other toys offered, but in our humble opinion, these are the most popular and worthwhile options available. Still, have a look at their site and you might find something you like!
Lovense Sex Machine
The Lovense Sex Machine is probably the best affordable tip-activated Chaturbate fuck machine!
This machine is essentially the perfect middle ground between the cheap Hismith & the premium Shockspot machines.
It’s faster ( at 300 RPMs vs 240 RPMs ) than the Hismith machines. The app control, being from Lovense is definitely better than what you’ll find on its direct competitor. Stroke length is a touch shorter though ( 4.5 inches vs 6 inches ) when compared to its more affordable alternative.
Additionally, it finally brings the Shockspot’s Chaturbate fuck machine tips controls to a more affordable machine. And with the Shockspot being at least twice the price of this one, this is huge news for most cam performers!
I’m also glad they went with this time-tested design, as it is super easy to adjust or quickly pull apart and reassemble for rapid storage and transport! So it is perfect if you work from home and need a stealthy machine or if you want to use this machine outside the house with other performers!
Speaking of other performers, this machine is double-ended so it can work on two people at a time out of the box!
You’ll get 2 silicone dildos, 2 Vac-U-Lock adapters for all your VUL toys, along a removable extra arm for all partnered needs!
Plus to facilitate transport & storage, it comes with a nice carry bag as well!
Lovense’s app controls are probably the best in the business, and most features have made their way to this machine as well!
Every function can be customized to your exact liking, patterns can be hand-drawn or controlled by ambient music or straight from your phone.
Of course, there are plenty of long-distance relationship features like allowing another user to control your machine from any distance, so this machine will work for private shows as well. There are also text and video chat features that integrate seamlessly with the app.
The app can also be used as a local wireless controller if you prefer to ride solo!
Motorbunny
If you prefer sex machines you can ride, these modernized Sybian alternatives / saddle-style Chaturbate sex machines will probably be more your style!
Chaturbate compatibility aside, the Motorbunny has App Control ( with sex games! ), better performance, and a wide range of accessories for less money than what the Original Sybian goes for!
There are currently 2 models, the original ( who is essentially a modern version of the Sybian ) and the Motorbunny Buck ( who is here to fuck ).
The buck is like the original except it thrusts or applies come hither motions instead of rotating. So it’s more of a hybrid between a traditional fuck machine and a saddle-style one. Intense vibrations & thrusting? Holy fuck is the right term!
Some attachments are made out of silicone, while the ones that come with the base model are made out of TPE. Thankfully, Motorbunny offers a wide variety of optional silicone attachments you can purchase separately, or are included with different bundles online.
They also have Vac-U-Lock attachments so you can connect any of your compatible toys to them!
I also love that both models come with four O-rings, two on the front and two on the back so you can clip harnesses or wrists or ankle cuffs right onto the toy.
So if you’re into BDSM, forced orgasms, or just like being safely secured to your toys, this is an awesome feature that is bound to make you and your audience sweat!
Shockspot
The Shockspots are simply the best Chaturbate fuck machines available today!
So if you’re looking for a fuck machine that reacts to tips, this is definitely the most luxurious option.
These luxury fuck machines offer speeds up to 24 inches per second and about 105 pounds in torque. The classic and Dual Thruster models offer 8 inches max in stroke length and there’s a 12-inch capable machine as well.
One of our favorite features is that you can control the stroke length directly on the controllers with no need to stop and interface with the machine itself.
These great machines also can be controlled via a PC from any distance or with a handy remote control.
And if you’re worried they’ll just go crazy on you, you still have full control over stroke depth and can stop the machine at any time with the included remote start button. So your audience truly only has control over the speed of the machine.
Of course, the features mentioned above are better suited for private and Skype shows. But with the new Chaturbate integration, this toy will work amazingly no matter if you’re in a private or public room.
Toys for Private Cam shows
When it comes to private shows, your options really open up. Heck, you’ll find some of the best app-controlled toys ever made in this section.
So while these toys won’t offer the option of having tips control them, they’ll have amazing features better suited for a more intimate experience during private shows. Something that can up the value of your content tremendously!
We-Vibe
As opposed to Lovense, We-Vibe’s toys will only work for spicing up private and/or Skype shows instead of public chatrooms.
Once you’ve hooked someone from your audience to throw all their lunch money at you ( or someone you found through a Skype camming directory ) these devices will give them more control over the experience.
Their flagship toy is a versatile couple’s toy called the Chorus.
The Chorus is made to clamp onto a woman’s pubic bone. Meaning it will provide vibrations to both the clitoris and the G-Spot simultaneously.
This handy shape is also great for hands-free play. Plus, it is also made to be used during penetration, which is great if you want to include dildos ( or actual dicks ) during your shows.
Coming from the makers of the amazing rumbly tango, the Chorus follows in its footsteps beautifully as this little sex cam toy rumbles like it’s at least twice its size. And since no one’s anatomy is the same, the Chorus also has a fully adjustable body.
They also offer the great asymmetrical Rave, a powerful wireless g-spot toy.
It has an asymmetrical silicone shape that pushes you to explore every possible angle it has to offer.
The usual g-spot prying motions still feel great but, with this toy, twisting motions work just as well. Giving a well-deserved break to your poor tired wrists, switching up the routine as you go.
It is rechargeable, covered for one year and features amazing adjustable rumbly vibrations. We’d even argue that it is the most powerful handheld toy that isn’t a Wand. So needless to say that the Rave also works beautifully as a clit vibe.
Otherwise, their Ditto is a great smaller alternative to the Hush.
It’s much smaller than the larger sizes offered by Lovense, meaning it’s maybe not the best toy for size queens, but perfect for those who would opt for the smaller Hush 2s.
Sadly, like the rest of We-vibe’s toys, these won’t be controllable by your viewers in a public chatroom.
The Vector is a small and powerful prostate vibrator for all the male cam performers out there.
Powerful rumbly prostate toys rarely come in small sizes, so this one is definitely accessible to most guys! Even if you don’t need a small toy, the rumbles will definitely make up for the size of this compact toy!
Again, just like Lovense, We-Vibe offers a ton of App controlled toys and these toys are just a few popular models.
So if you’re looking for more variety, definitely check out the rest of their vibrators!
Kiiroo’s Pearl 2 or Fuse + Keon
Kiiroo is the leading brand in Teledildonics.
If you’re not informed on the matter, this means that they make Dildos that can sync their motions with another toy, at any distance. A unique feature that makes long-distance relationships and penetrative sex a possibility!
Of course, this option is especially good for private & Skype shows with your regulars since it requires both of you to acquire a device of your own.
But all of these devices work perfectly well on their own as well, so they won’t only be good for connected sex.
Basically, the Pearl 2 is their basic model and the Fuse comes with a clitoral stimulator attached.
There are many ways to use your Kiiroo dildos:
The first mode is Bluetooth mode, which will enable you to either control or be controlled by some other toy over any distance. They’ll be able to control all of Kiiroo’s male toys as well as other Pearl and Fuse vibrators.
The second mode is the touch mode. While in this mode, the deeper you will penetrate the stronger and more widespread the vibrations will become.
Lastly, it also comes with traditional toy control with different strengths and patterns you can cycle through.
The Pearl 2 and the Fuse were originally meant to be paired with the Onyx 2. And while the Onyx 2 is alright and sports some impressive technology, it’s usually not enough to bring men to climax all by itself. And it’s honestly nothing remotely close to real sex.
Thankfully, the Keon changed all that.
Basically, it’s meant to hold a masturbator and do all the motions for you.
It is also compatible with any of the classic Fleshlights ( though you will have to use them inside the Kiiroo masturbator shell ), so that gives you plenty of choices to pick from. They offer gender-neutral models as well as replicas of any orifices you can normally have sex with.
The Keon can be used alone or controlled by someone else via the Kiiroo dildo of your choice. And if you’re into that future sex, it can be synced with VR porn as well!
App-Controlled Fuck Machines
We’ve already gone through some of the best sex machines around, but what if you want to give control to your viewers in private shows?
Well, these machines will let you connect with your audience like there’s no tomorrow. They’re also some of the best fuck machines available today! So nothing stops you from enjoying them off work as well!
In this entry, we’ll cover 2 great connected sex machines, the saddle-style Cowgirl and the other being the excellent Shockspot.
The Cowgirl is a lot like the legendary Sybian… but it’s almost better in every way.
It provides extremely powerful vibrations as well as internal or external rotations depending on the extension you are using. It’s also one of the rare devices of its kind to provide vibration patterns.
It can be either remote or App Controlled and comes covered in beautiful and durable Vegan Leather.
The Cowgirl looks and feels more premium than anything else in its niche with its electric guitar-style jacks reminiscent of the classiest guitar amps. So if you’re big on aesthetics with your shows, this is definitely a great option!
The cowgirl is better suited for private & skype shows as it can only be controlled by one user at a time. But nothing stops you from controlling it yourself during a public show!
The App-controlled Hismith is an affordable & fully-featured fuck machine.
It does everything you’d want a fuck machine to do at a reasonable price. In terms of performance, you can expect about 240 strokes per minute and 2 to 6 inches in stroke length.
Just like the cowgirl, it comes with a comprehensive app. This allows you to control the machine with your phone or let someone else take over, no matter how far they are. Thanks to the app, you can also use & customize patterns as well. Which is a rare thing in the world of sex machines.
Plus now that they come in multiple funky colors, you can even match them with your current decor instead of redesigning around it!
Again, like the cowgirl, the Hismith will work better for private / Skype shows, though you can easily trigger it yourself during public shows thanks to the handy little wireless remote it comes with.
The Tools
Even though the toys are important when it comes to maximizing your revenue as a cam model, the tools you use can also have a massive impact on both you and your audience’s enjoyment.
These tools will ensure that you can offer the best quality content while keeping things comfortable and as hassle-free as possible. And if things are better for you and your audience, the more both of you will be willing to stick around!
Webcams
When it comes to camming, you really don’t want to use your laptop camera as these are rarely up to snuff with the quality that is expected from performers.
So if you’re looking for the best webcam for camming, here are some of the most popular options at the moment:
The Logitech C922 Pro Stream is very popular amongst cam performers.
It has beautiful 1080p quality, works great in low light situations, and offers a variety of extra features like 60 fps playback at 720p and background removal/replacement ( something like a green screen effect ).
So if you like getting creative with your shows, there are plenty of tools at your disposal!
If it’s too expensive for you at the moment, the older C920 is also still a classic and widely used by frugal cam models to this day.
The Razer Kiyo is another popular choice amongst performers and streamers.
Like the C922, it comes with great 1080p quality, but what really makes it stand out is its integrated ring light. So you probably won’t have to worry about bad lighting with this one.
Plus it looks pretty damned cool on your desk when you’re not performing.
The Razer Kiyo Pro is probably the best most premium webcam for cam shows.
It has higher quality, framerate, and mic sound than the base Kiyo version. While they removed the integrated ring light, it actually does much better in low light situations now so there’s not really much of a need for it and the auto exposure is pretty seamless as well.
I also love that this cam also allows for wide-angles with 3 adjustable FOVs to pick from!
The Logitech BCC950 is definitely a hidden gem.
When you’re strutting your stuff, having to move the camera every time you change position is not only a pain in the ass but in the long run, it’s also plenty of lost time you could spend on making sweet, sweet money instead.
Well, thanks to this PTZ ( Pan-Tilt-Zoom ) camera, you can remotely control your webcam so it’s always on you no matter where you go.
Looking like an adorable Star Wars droid, this remote-controlled camera features 1080p HD video quality that runs at a smooth 30 fps. It is plug-and-play, has 180 degrees of pan, tilt, zoom, and a precise auto-focus. This camera also comes equipped with a high-quality, noise-canceling mic and speaker.
I also love that you can change the height of the camera with the included extension. This way you won’t have to Macguyver a stand to offer the perfect viewing angles to your audience.
Lighting
Good lighting can make a shit camera look like it’s twice its worth and a good camera look like a million bucks. So imagine what it can do to your setup!
These might require a bit of fiddling around to get the perfect lighting angles, but there are plenty of photography guides online to help you figure this out.
So in this section, we’ll not only go through lighting solutions to light you ( the subject! ) as well as options to light your room ( the set! ).
You can get a pretty decent umbrella kit starting at around 50$.
So if you can’t afford any of the top cameras mentioned above or the better lights below, this could be exactly what you need.
Now if you want a more modern, customizable, low-heat lighting setup most streamers & cam performers swear by the Elgato Key Lights
You can customize the brightness & temperature straight from your phone, PC, or Stream Deck. The lighting will also bother your eyes less and won’t cook you alive during especially long sessions. It also helps that these lights come with stands, so you won’t have to buy a separate tripod for them.
For those looking to save a bit of money Elgato also makes the cheaper Key Light Air as well.
Cam performers also love ring lights for the beautifying & professional effects they have on facial features.
Most ring lights are affordable, come with warm to cool color temperatures and a tripod to hold phones and other cameras at the center of it. It’s a cheap investment that should make most phone and cam content pop!
It’s not as customizable as a multi-light setup, but if you need a quick & affordable solution that makes you look great, this is definitely the way to go.
Now moving away from lighting you to lighting your room, the GLW RGB floodlights are an affordable & easy way to bathe your room in color.
Setting up a mood can really positively influence your content.
So if you want to make your set look all purple, pink, or even red-light district red, just point these lights at your back walls to completely change the mood of your room!
RGB LED lights are a staple for most streamers ( SFW or not ) for a reason.
They’re like the seasoning on top of a good set. They can even make an unremarkable room look at least 10 times better.
Right now, Govee is definitely my favorite brand right now ( as well as countless streamers and performers ) as they are affordable, beautiful, and come with tons of creative options that can all be controlled from your phone! Heck, I use their stuff just to make my house look better.
Liberator
Liberator makes pillows, throws, and furniture built for sexual intercourse.
All models are very easily washed and their covers are removable and machine washable, so no need to change the entire set of sheets every time things get a bit intense.
So why should you, the cam model, care?
Well, if you do especially long shows or if squirting, excessive amounts of lube/oil, or any other fluids are part of your big bag of tricks, their super soft, absorbent and waterproof throws are definitely a lifesaver.
They’ll work against whatever fluids you throw at them, and they come in multiple colors and sizes.
Piling up towels and having all your precious bedding and furniture getting stained no matter what you do isn’t optimal. So they’re well worth considering.
Their ramps and wedges are also super convenient for especially long shows as they can keep you comfortable in the most compromising positions.
While they’re not as essential as the throws, they sure help. Especially if your gimmick relies on sticking your ass or hips in the air for extended periods of time.
Want to include dildos and g-spot toys in your shows?
If they don’t have suction cups, the Bonbon & the Wing are perfect toy holders made exactly for that purpose. They’ll hold your toys in place for you so you can keep your hands free for typing or anything else really.
Otherwise, if you’re a fan of the unbelievable strength of the Magic Wand, you know that it can be quite difficult to hold it during intercourse or over long periods of time.
Well, Liberator’s Axis and Wanda are the perfect cure for that ailment. They allow you to have a hands-free and comfortable experience that definitely beats having to deal with the sheer bulk and weight of this toy.
For men, there’s also their Fleshlight mounts.
The On a Mission and Top Dog mounts are both great pieces of sex furniture if you’d rather be thrusting over just masturbating with a toy in your hand. Plus it’ll give you a chance of showing off your thrusting skills to your audience!
Both models are also very easy to clean even though these don’t come with their signature removable covers. Wiping with a bit of soap and water should be enough for most situations.
