“Male Masturbators”, “strokers”, “pocket pussies”, “man’s other best friend”, these toys go by many names but they’re essentially all the same thing.
In any case, we’re not here for name debating, we’re here for “bating”, so let’s get to it!
So whether you’re a loner, far from your significant other or you just can’t stand the ruggedness of your own manly hands, you know you can always count on the ever-expanding world of sex toys for men.
Luckily for all of us, masturbators come in a wide range of shapes and styles, from realistic vaginas and anuses to completely non-gender-specific options. So there should be something for everyone.
A quick note on the best lube for Fleshlight, Tenga, and other stroker toys.
You’ll want to use a lot of water-based lube since masturbators don’t self-lubricate just yet! And I can’t stress this enough; Any other type of lube will degrade any of the male toys mentioned on this list.
Another thing worth noting is that any male stroker that isn’t made of silicone will degrade over time and will need a replacement in the long run.
Also, if you fail to dry your stroker properly after cleaning up, it can start accumulating mold, shortening the life of your masturbators.
Still, if you follow the lube and clean-up guidelines found in this article, you should be able to extend the life of your toys considerably.
For those of you looking for hands-free “automatic” masturbators, we suggest reading our hands-free sex toys for men list instead.
Also, make sure to see our guide on what lubes to use as well as how to clean your toys to avoid any complications.
With the disclaimers out of the way, here’s our top 15 list of the best male masturbator toys, not necessarily from worst to best, because everyone’s needs and budgets are different:

Cheap Male Masturbators
Tenga Easy Beat Egg
The Tenga egg masturbator is a neat little Japanese invention that is disposable, portable, and really affordable.
It comes in a wide range of textures, which are illustrated as patterns on the outside of the packaging.
A big plus is that they look nothing like most sex toys for men, so if you live in a dorm, at your parents’ house, or with nosy roommates, this discrete egg masturbator ensures there isn’t too much to worry about.
How it works is simple, you crack the Tenga egg open, put the included lube inside of the stroker, put it on your manhood, stretch it back and forth, and Voilà!
But how do they feel?
Pretty good!
The material is extremely soft, the textures are different from egg to egg and the suction caused by the stretching of the material makes the experience feel surprisingly pleasurable. All in all, It sure beats beating off the old fashion way!
These are sent by the ton to soldiers overseas and boyfriends away from home and we sure understand why!
How to clean
Though they’re meant to be single-use, depending on how rough you are with your Egg, you should get about 2 to 10 uses out of each one of them.
Just clean them with a bit of soap, rinse them out with warm water, and set to dry. Just remember that you will need to supply your own lube after the first use.
Quickshot Boost & Vantage by Fleshlight
The Quickshots are inconspicuous, cheap fleshlights, and feel almost as great as any other toy made by the company.
Even though they are the cheapest Fleshlights available, they’re by no means disappointing.
Of course, the open-ended design means you won’t have as much head stimulation and suction as with the traditional Fleshlights. Which is a small trade-off for portability and the ease of use (& clean-up!) it offers instead.
Another downside is that the Quickshot can be quite noisy in use. So if the walls are thin where you reside, this might not be the optimal choice. But other than that, these are truly solid budget options!
They also double as great couple’s blowjob toys!
The open-ended design allows for your significant other to fellate you while in use. At the price of being a bit less stealthy, the transparent Quickshot Vantage also gives a pretty good view to your partner as well.
We suggest using less lube than you would normally use while using it during a blowjob since it’ll mix up with saliva and, through all that lubrification, you might lose the great sensation of the Quickshot’s texture. A good flavored lube will also go a long way in making the experience more pleasant for your SO.
Otherwise, if your partner is well-hydrated, nothing stops you from going all spit!
How to clean
The Quickshot is also easier to clean and maintain than any other Fleshlight thanks to its open-ended design. Just rinse the toy thoroughly, leave it to dry, then powder it up with cornstarch and you’re done.
Firefly Yoni, Ass, & Moon
The Firefly line of male strokers offers affordable ( glow in the dark!? ) SILICONE masturbators that don’t actually suck!
Silicone strokers are such a rare thing that I legit had to see it to believe it. Thanks to its material, this is probably the best male masturbator for those looking for a cheap Fleshlight alternative that can actually compete with them.
What’s even more impressive is that even though they’re made of silicone, they’re still really affordable and stretchy… just like regular TPE pocket pussies!
Don’t be mistaken, I’ve seen silicone strokers before. But they are usually extremely overpriced and/or too rigid to be actually usable. It’s a bit weird, especially considering that affordable squishy silicone dildos are so common now!
Why silicone?
Silicone is more hygienic, durable, and easier to clean than the materials found in even the best penis masturbators.
While your usual masturbators have to be replaced due to their porous nature ( you can never REALLY clean a porous toy ), silicone toys can have a much longer life span.
Additionally, it’s the only male stroker material that can be fully sanitized which is useful if hygiene is a concern for you or if you simply wish to share your toys between partners.
Though it’s worth noting that silicone toys are only compatible with water-based lubes!
The Fireflies come in 3 models: The Firefly Yoni, Ass, & Moon.
And yes, I do realize they sound like a bizarro version of the Sailor Moon team.
Though, unlike the Sailor crew, the real difference between each model is only their external appearance. The Yoni & Ass are semi-realistic vaginas and asses respectively. The Moon, on the other hand, is a gender-neutral/non-realistic option for those of us who prefer to let our imagination do all the work.
Oh and they all come in both blue and pink! This is definitely a breath of fresh air since guy’s toys rarely come in pink and I’m 100% here for it!
“That’s all wonderful Jimmy, but how do they feel!?”
I’m glad you asked! They feel as good as any other standard male masturbator toys! Maybe even a touch better since the material is extremely soft & stays that way, as opposed to getting quickly sticky until the next time you powder them with corn starch.
It’s also worth considering that these are open on the other end, so there isn’t much suction here ( though you can always pinch the other end for some hand-cranked suction! ).
Speaking of hand-cranked, the shell-less design also allows you to squeeze your toy for some extra tightness and pressure! It’s as if you upgraded your own hand specifically for jerking off really!
How to clean
Thanks to the open-ended design, you could easily just finish outside the toy, run some water through it and call it a day. Otherwise, mild soap will work just fine as well if things get a little bit messier.
But the real advantage here comes from the silicone material. You see, if you need a nice deep clean/full-on sanitization, simply rinse out your toy and boil it in a pot for a few minutes and it should be like new!
Alternatively, for sanitization purposes, you can also wash the toy with a 10% bleach water solution. Just make sure you rinse it out thoroughly after ( Unless you want a tie-dye dick, of course )!
M-Elite Platinum Hekx & Gript
Finally, affordable silicone masturbators are becoming more and more common & M-Elite’s new strokers are the newest kids on the silicone block and worth your attention!
M-Elites are like the Firefly’s more rugged and substantial cousins, offering thicker and longer sleeves.
The walls here are more dense so these feel more “penetrable” than the Firefly strokers which tend to just squish around you.
Compared to the M-Elite’s, the Firefly models feel more like a fuckable extension to your hand as opposed to an orifice you can fuck. If that makes any sense.
Plus, the design here is clearly meant for those of us who like real manly stuff as these legit look like fancy truck tires you can bang. So if you’re all about your masculinity or you’re looking for the perfect gift for your bear or leather daddy, this might be the one!
These durable silicone masturbators come in two distinct models for very specific needs:
The M-Elite Gript is the sensation king. The texture is more intense, and the tapered tip offers more suction, especially if you pinch it closed. So if you want as much stimulation as you can get, this is the stroker for you!
The M-Elite Hekx on the other hand is the best model for vigorous stroking and larger dicks. It’s longer and open-ended ( well more so than the Gript, at the least, as both are technically open ) so even if you’re freakishly long, you can still poke through on the other side if you need to!
So the choice really depends on whether you prefer long strokes and fast penetration as opposed to intense textures and suction.
How to clean
The cleaning process here is the exact same as the Fireflies, so scroll up for all the juicy intel!
Vibra Cup Head Stimulator
If you already own a Magic Wand ( or any other alternative ), this is a great, cheap way to acquire an extremely powerful masturbator.
Plus, just like the Quickshot Vantage, the transparent nature of the toy acts as a kinky window for any partner that would like to watch.
As always, just make sure to use a good lube, as the cheap material found on this attachment can get quite sticky.
We only wish there was a realistic, functional toy reminiscent of Fleshlight’s quality out there for our dear Magic Wands.
How to clean
Rinse it out and wash with a mild/neutral soap. Finally, rinse again, and put it aside to dry before storing.
Hot Octopuss Jett
The Hot Octopuss Jett might very well be the best budget penis vibrator… ever?! It’s a great masturbation/handjob helper that should cut down your time to a mere few minutes and it’s pretty affordable for such a powerful toy.
How it works is that you place the silicone ring at the base of your gland/frenulum/essentially the male clit, customize your vibrations to your taste, and just stroke as you normally would sans vibe!
What’s really interesting is that each bullet vibrates at different frequencies: one is rumbly and the other is buzzy. Here they’re called bass and treble, of course. But I must say and I don’t hate those terms to describe low and high-frequency vibrations at all! While most sex toy connoisseurs would think that rumbly/low frequency is the holy grail of vibration, turns out the real answer is both!
What this means is that these vibrations aren’t only badass for your dick but they’re also great for clits! Just wear the ring on two fingers and go to town! It’s a great unisex toy the whole household will enjoy!
Both bullets individually offer 5 levels of intensity and 5 different vibration patterns to pick from, so you can really customize your experience to your liking here.
Like most Hot Octopuss dick vibes, you can also start completely flaccid, if you wish to!
So this toy is a perfect device to start you up, get you going, and finish the job! It’s also great for people struggling with ED! Depending on your anatomy, it’s also possible to get there completely hands-free, though your success might vary.
What I found for me and quite a few other users is that stroking at the same time is where it’s at! Though if you’re a fan of long edging sessions, you might find that all this stimulation might cut your sesh a bit short.
Of course, being so affordable and unique, it doesn’t come without a few caveats.
For one, this device isn’t rechargeable and will require you to use 4 AA batteries ( not included ). The good news is that they should last you easily over an hour. I would still suggest using rechargeable batteries for the sake of our planet.
The Jett is also not waterproof, so if the shower or bath is your location of choice when charming the snake, this toy might not do it. It’s also quite noisy, which isn’t so compatible with nosy roommates/family.
If you’re around the average girth, the Jett offers a great snug fit. Otherwise, if you’re quite girthier than the norm ( Mazeltov! ), this toy could be quite uncomfortable.
Lastly, and I know it’s quite the nitpick, but boy is Hot Octopuss’ marketing consistently cringy. I mean, Guybrator? Really? “I don’t like vibrations as I find them feminine… but GUYBRATIONS though!” said no one ever.
How to clean
Now since this toy isn’t waterproof, it’s a bit trickier to clean if things do get messy. If they don’t, you could easily just take the bullets out and just wash the silicone ring with mild soap ( or boil it for a few minutes for a full sanitization which is better if you’re sharing your toys ).
But when things DO get messy, I would suggest doing the same above steps along with taking the batteries out of the controller and washing the bullets ONLY. This means keeping the controller completely away from the water. Now if the controller does get messy ( you wild animal, you ) simply spot clean it with a damp soapy towel and dry immediately.
Once everything has dried up, then you can put the batteries back in!
Mid-Range Male Masturbators
Tenga 3D
Tenga again!? This time with reusable models that look like beautiful pieces of art?
If the Japanese can make toilets sophisticated, they sure can make “taming the bishop” classy as well. Heck, these toys are so well designed that they could easily be left in plain sight without arousing any suspicion.
But don’t be fooled, that pretty exterior is what actually goes on the inside of the toy while in use. You see, the display is actually the drying stand, this way the textured inside is always flipped out when drying. This prevents these male toys from accumulating moisture and mold. Something that can be a problem with Fleshlights and other standard closed models.
These toys don’t only look great, but they also feel great!
The material is extremely soft and stretchy and, since there’s no outer shell, you control the pressure of the toy with your own hand. So if the usual hard shell toy isn’t tight enough for you this can be pretty useful.
Suction is also great once you get the hang of it.
While every texture is interesting, if you want the most intense model, just go with the spiral and thank me later!
How to clean
For cleaning simply flip the texture back out and rinse thoroughly. Really make sure to get all the nook and crannies here.
Once this is done, wash with mild/neutral soap all over, rinse again and let your 3D air dry on its stand with the texture on the outside.
If you bought the zen or the pile, make sure that all the gaps and holes are fully dry before moving on. Once dry, you can finally put the lid back on and move on with your day.
Tenga Flip Orb
Here comes a brand new release from the beloved Japanese masturbation giant ( Yep, It’s Tenga again )!
The Flip Orbs are essentially a cheaper, yet innovative alternative to the Flip Holes & Flip Zeros.
While there is no hard storage case included this time around, it does come with an extra unique feature to soften the blow… Orbs!
Harder than the rest of the innards of the sleeve, the Flip Orb’s Orbs are meant to add an extra layer of sensations while in use. So if you ever felt like all masturbators feel the same or you just generally have a hard time actually feeling the textures of your toys ( as a circumcised man, I feel your pain ) you will love this addition.
While in use, the Flip Orbs essentially feel like a massage chair for your dick!
It’s really the best way I can describe it as this unique sensation is a bit hard to explain.
Otherwise, just like its big brothers, the stroker itself provides plenty of suction and comes with their signature pressure plates, which will allow you to make the toy feel tighter as you go.
I’m also a big fan of the new curvy ergonomic design as it feels better in hand than the rest of the Tenga Flip toys.
How to choose the right Tenga Flip Orb
The Tenga Flip Orbs come in 2 intensities, each featuring two different textures and colors, for a grand total of 4 models.
The Standard Flip Orbs should satisfy most folks while the “Black” versions sport a firmer texture for those who need some extra stimulation.
A little word of warning for the Black models: because of the firmer material, they tend to be snugger than the standard models. So if you find most of the best male masturbators to be a bit too tight, you’re probably better off going with the standard models.
The two available colors/textures are the Orange Crash & the Blue Rush. Other than the difference in color, the Orange Crash features a “nubby” texture while the Blue Rush is ribbed for your pleasure!
How to clean
Like all the other Flip models, the clamshell design makes it super easy to clean and dry, which should greatly increase the longevity of your toys.
Just open the shell, rinse, and wash with some neutral or mild soap. Once clean, rinse again, wipe off the excess moisture, and set to dry.
There’s no middle clip like on the other flips, so you can’t use that as a drying rack. But the new cap & hinge allows you to simply lay the toy open facing up or on its side for drying, so this shouldn’t be much of a problem!
Once completely dry, close your Flip Orb and put the cap on to avoid the entrance of the toy from collecting dust and voilà!
Tenga Flip Hole
The Tenga Flip Holes are easy to clean, and come with a hard shell, but you can still apply your own pressure thanks to their 3 pressure points.
Doing so also kicks up the suction into full gear!
Textures on these penis masturbators are way more intense than the Tenga Eggs and 3D models and, depending on which pressure point you press, the experience can be customized to your liking.
Each Flip Hole comes with a sample of their 3 realistic lubes. This way, if you feel like restocking from them, you will know exactly which one you like most.
How to choose the right Tenga Flip Hole
Now, the Tenga Flip Hole comes in 4 different models, so how does one choose?
In general, people tend to like the Black model the most because of its intense texture but if you prefer suction over texture you will probably prefer the Red.
The Original and the Silver are more balanced models but won’t reach the same extremes as the black and the red models. So it all comes down to preference!
UPDATE: There is also now a newer model called the Zero that has a smaller and sleeker design. 
It is considered to be an overall improvement over the older models. It has a texture akin to the black and a suction closer to the red, making it a more intense, balanced model.
To top it all off it does feel more solid and airtight than the older models that now feel a bit flimsy compared to the zero.
How to clean
The Flip hole is fairly easy to clean. Simply remove the clip, open it like a book, and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Since the textures are extremely detailed, make sure to get all the nooks and crannies.
Once done, wash with a mild/neutral soap followed by a rinse.
It’s better to make sure you dry up every crack and corner in the sleeve before hanging to dry if you want to avoid mold. A clean towel will do the trick and will save a few trees if you’re a chronic user.
Finally, let it hang upside down on the clip like on the picture below, and once fully dry you can finally close it and store it. This brilliant feature will help to prevent mold from forming, which is a common issue with most Fleshlights.
Arcwave Voy
Remember the Quickshots mentioned at the beginning? Well, the Arcwave Voy is essentially the deluxe version!
Most of the things mentioned in that previous entry are true here as well:
- The open-ended design makes clean-up a breeze.
- It allows for a partner to fellate you while in use ( depending on the length of your manhood, of course ).
- It’s probably even more inconspicuous than the Quickshots as well as it looks like a camera lens or a Bluetooth speaker at a quick glance.
The fine folks at WOW tech wouldn’t just charge more for a fancier-looking version of another toy though. So yes, it does get better!
One of the improvements over the Quickshots is that it is made of pure medical-grade silicone!
This is huge considering how rare silicone strokers are. It also means your toy will last much longer than most of the toys on this list
Being made of silicone, the Voy can be fully sanitized if things get particularly messy or if you wish to share your toys without the risk of sharing STDs along with them! This is probably the best Fleshlight alternative for compact play!
Another badass improvement is that the tightness of the toy can be adjusted at any moment.
So things can go from edging to almost unbearable with just a twist of the wrist.
While simple, this feature is awesome because there isn’t a single dick that prefers the same fit, so you can really customize your experience to your liking here!
How to clean
Clean-up here is as easy as it gets ( if it’s needed at all ), which is great considering that all the tidying up is what often deters folks from getting toys for their dick.
In most cases, you can simply rinse your toy and call it a day. If some stuff gets on your toy, soapy water will be enough to get your Arcwave Voy back to its original state. It also helps that the sleeve is removable if needed!
Now if you want to give a thorough clean or sanitize it to share it with a partner/buddy, just remove the silicone sleeve and boil it for a few minutes and you should be good to go!
Fleshlight / Fleshjack
Fleshlight is far from being the first brand of male toys on the market, but without them, sex toys for men would never have become as mainstream as they are today. Hell, today most people still refer to all male stroker sleeves as Fleshlights.
It’s also your best stroker choice if you’re looking for affordable & realistic male masturbator toys thanks to their wide variety of looks and textures to pick from. Want an anal Fleshlight? How about a gender-neutral nondescript one? Whatever you need, they got it!
With most models, suction can also be adjusted from intense to nonexistent with a simple twist of the bottom cap!
Fleshlights also come with a variety of attachments, accessories, and other upgrades.
From the hole warmers to suction cups and other mounts, you’ll never see a penis masturbator as versatile as this one.
Plus, if you have the funds, most full-size Fleshlights will fit in the KEON‘s shell. And considering that it is, in my opinion, the best automatic masturbator ever made, this definitely is a cause for celebration!
Alternatively, if you don’t care about VR, long-distance relationship, and interactive features, Fleshlight now sells its own dedicated option: The Universal Launch.
A device that is on par with the Keon if you prefer a more barebones automatic stroker! Plus, you don’t even have to take the sleeves out of their shells with this device!
If you prefer men, Fleshjack is essentially the same company.
The main difference is that their line of toys is molded directly on male porn stars instead of women and there isn’t a single vagina in sight, boys!
How to choose the right Fleshlight
Fleshlights come in many styles and models so it can be a bit confusing when you’re trying to make a decision. To help you find the best Fleshlight for you, here’s a quick rundown of the models:
Classic
The model that started it all. It’s 10 inches long, so it’s the best Fleshlight for all the bigger guys out there. You can choose between the classic vagina, anus, and mouth. None of these are molded on actual porn stars, so if replicas weird you out, you’re welcome.
Go
This is a portable version of the Classic. It’s 8 inches long and a bit thinner. A perfect option if space is an issue or if you don’t need all the 10 inches the classic models have to offer.
Ice
Almost completely transparent so you can see all the action, this is the best Fleshlight for voyeurs and couples alike. They can be bought in either Classic or Go size and there’s a Turbo option as well.
Flight
Smaller than the Go, with an even stealthier shell, the Flight can easily be confused with a thermos or a lens cover.
The orifice also looks nothing like a human one and the material offers a bit more resistance than the regular models. It’s a Fleshlight for men who like traveling or staying under the radar of sneaky roommates.
It’s also worth noting that if you’re looking for a cheap Fleshlight, this is the most affordable full-size model they sell!
Stamina Training Unit
Meant to help you last longer, this is the tightest Fleshlight available at the moment. So if you want to keep your sessions short or if you need some training of your own, these will do very nicely.
Though if you’re especially girthy, I’d avoid the STU altogether.
Boost
These are like the OG Fleshlight 2.0. What makes these even better than the original is the 2 floating rings near the entrance of the toy, which feel like you’re entering new orifices as you get deeper into the toy!
Plus, they’ve improved the suction hole so it’s easier to adjust as you play, for a more dynamic experience throughout.
Just like the OG, you get your usual orifices as well including female, butt, and mouth, and they look better than ever!
Turbo
Supposed to simulate oral sex, it comes with 3 different points of insertion, giving you different sensations depending on where you tackle it from. It’s a Fleshlight for men looking to get a lot out of one toy. Plus, the suction on these is some of the best in the business!
Girls/Boys
Molded directly on porn stars, these are the most realistic fleshlight models you can get. Each star has its own set of textures along with mouth, anus, and vagina replicas. They also offer darker skin tones than what can be found on their classic models.
Freaks
The freaks collection is a unique take on male toys. Inspired by sci-fi and horror, you get to choose between aliens, zombies, and other classic movie monsters. So if you like getting your freak on in the freakiest ways possible, go with the freaks! Just keep in mind that these are only available around Halloween, sadly.
Vibro
This vibrating Fleshlight comes outfitted with 3 sockets on each side to insert either the included vibrators or any other bullet vibrator of your choice.
We can’t suggest using the Tango bullet by we-vibe on this toy enough. Just that one bullet will stimulate you more than the 3 bullets included together… so imagine if you get 3!
Build your own
Or you could build your own version of the classic by choosing your own shell, orifice, and texture. If you’re looking for the most intense texture, Destroya is definitely the most popular & best Fleshlight Sleeve.
How to clean a Fleshlight
Clean-up remains a bit more involved than with the other brands out there.
To avoid any problems, remove the 2 caps from the shell and run warm water through the orifice until it is completely clear of lube and other fluids.
Avoid using any type of soap because this can cut the lifetime of these male toys greatly. Just use 70% Isopropyl alcohol if you want a more thorough clean-up.
Now let the toy completely air dry with the two caps still completely off. Once this is done, apply the refresh powder or good old cornstarch ( it’s essentially the same thing ) over the toy for it to regain its original soft texture and you’re done!
High-End Male Masturbators
Flip Zero EV by Tenga
“It’s a Cobra Libre!”, ” It’s a Flip hole!” Nope, it’s the Tenga Flip Hole EV!
First of all, in terms of features, the EV has the most we’ve ever seen in a single male toy.
It’s the vibrating Fleshlight we all wanted, except Tenga beat them to the punch! It has 5 different intense vibrations, it’s rechargeable and you can adjust the tightness of the toy with pressure plates. Since it is a closed design, you do get a great amount of suction as well.
We also love that there’s a penis vibrator at the entrance of the orifice as well as at the bottom for extra head stimulation. There’s not an inch of your manhood that’s going to feel left out!
The only real caveat is that it is more expensive than your standard masturbator. But it is also probably one of the best strokers ever made, so it is well worth the money if you can afford it!
How to clean
Just like the other Flip Holes, it is a breeze to clean for a non-silicone toy.
Simply slide off the battery before cleaning. It’s a brilliant feature that will make cleaning much easier by not having to work around electrical components.
Just keep in mind that the charging base isn’t waterproof, so be extra careful when cleaning that part ( not that you would normally need to! ).
For more information on clean-up, refer back to the earlier Flip Hole entry.
Lovense Max 2
The Lovense Max 2 is essentially a Fleshlight on crack.
It included features like vibrations, contractions, and app control which also makes it entirely hands-free if you want to!
While it is possible to reach orgasm without any stroking at all, manual strokes can most definitely intensify the experience.
I also appreciate that the included sleeve is completely gender-neutral so everyone can enjoy it equally. Though if you’re heterosexual, a replacement vagina sleeve is also available!
But what makes the Max 2 really shine is the natural contractions it offers.
The vibrations aren’t that mind-blowing. I mean, they’re rumbly enough to travel through the sleeve and can be felt anywhere inside the toy, but they aren’t especially powerful. But once the contractions kick in, this device really starts to show it’s potential!
There are 3 vibration strengths and 4 patterns along with 3 gradually tighter contractions. There’s also a quick-release valve if you can’t take the pressure anymore or if you somehow got stuck.
It’s worth noting that the air pump’s motor can get a bit loud, so it might not be fully roomie/family-proof! Still, it’s nothing some loud music won’t fix.
Of course, being a Lovense device, it does come with App control!
The App allows customization of the strength of both vibrations and contractions, so if you felt limited by the 3-4 incremental options offered by the physical buttons, you can really find what you want here. Plus, the app control lets you lay on your back with the Max 2 resting on yourself, with no need to touch the actual device!
There are also your usual gimmicks like letting music and sound control your device and if you’re one of the rare folks to actually enjoy patterns, you can also create your own in-app.
The best part of the app in my opinion is that it also allows a partner to control your toy from any distance! So it sure makes phone sex and long-distance relationships a tad more enjoyable.
Sadly, porn & VR sync isn’t really possible with the Max 2 like on more premium similar devices like the Keon & Handy. Teledildonic ( long-distance sex ) features are also included, though this isn’t exactly its biggest strength. A bit weird considering it was the first iteration of this device’s original goal.
If that’s why you got interested in the Max 2 in the first place, I’d definitely look into Kiiroo’s Keon instead.
How to clean
Clean-up is just about as involved as your traditional Fleshlight… which means: it’s pretty involved.
You’ll need to remove the sleeve from the case and rinse everything out with soapy water. Make sure you get all the nooks and crannies as well as there are quite a bit of them thanks to the texture. You will also need to clean the case as well since the sleeve isn’t sealed opposite the opening. When cleaning the case, make sure the air valve is closed as to not damage the insides of the case.
Once you’ve rinsed everything out, you’ll want to keep both the case and sleeve separate as you dry it. Toweling the excess water will expedite the process, but make sure everything is moisture-free before storing as it will keep your device mold-free. You can also optionally apply a bit of cornstarch to your sleeve to keep it soft like the first day you got it!
The sleeve is still made of a porous material, so it won’t last forever. Replacing the sleeve periodically is the best way to keep a hygienic device. Thankfully the replacement sleeves are dirt cheap!
Hot Octopuss’ Pulse Solo Lux
This is one of the best dick vibrators in the business!
In the same vein as Brosé, Hot Octopuss tries to maintain our masculinity by calling this a Guybrator. But the extent of my criticism pretty much ends at the cringe-worthy marketing as this is a pretty damn solid toy!
While my masculinity is doing just fine without renaming everything to have man puns in them, the kind of toe-curling orgasms this toy can dish out won’t make you feel like a big tough man at all. Hell, after you’re done with it, you’ll be left giggling like a Japanese schoolgirl and that’s exactly what you want out of a good men’s vibrator!
All this power comes from their PulsePlate technology. And this time around this isn’t just a new fancy name for ” Rumbly vibrator “
You see, this tech was originally introduced in the medical field to allow men with spinal cord injuries to actually reach orgasm. It turns out that a specific frequency and amplitude can actually make ANY dick sing! And Hot Octopuss is taking advantage of exactly that!
Just like the Arcwave below, it also puts all of its focus on the underrated frenulum ( or the male clit as I like to call it ) for some pretty impressive results.
This Pulseplate tech can even allow you to start from fully flaccid to orgasm in record time and it is powerful enough to be entirely hands-free if you want it to be. Of course, you can also stroke to your heart’s content!
The Pulse Solo Lux also comes with a wireless remote for all your solo and couple’s play needs.
The remote control is especially handy if you don’t want to reach down to set your modes, making the function switches as seamless as they can be.
The optional watch strap for the remote is definitely cool, but a bit cumbersome if used solo as you have to use both hands to control the toy. Where it really shines is when it’s used with a partner or if you’re using it hands-free. So it’s definitely not just a gimmick!
How to clean
Since this stroker wraps around your manhood like a taco shell ( dick tacos anyone? ), if you’re strategic, clean-up can be extremely minimal. Even then, since it is entirely made of silicone & waterproof, clean-up is absolutely hassle-free.
While you can’t fully sanitize the Pulse by boiling it like your usual motorless silicone toys, washing your toy with a 10% bleach water solution works just as well. Otherwise, for most other situations, washing with a mild soap should be enough!
Arcwave Ion
Womanizer really shot themselves in the foot when they first chose their name. Not only did they exclude trans men from their customer base, they also stepped on the eventuality of making toys for cis men as well.
Once WOW Tech ( the guys behind one of my favorite brands: We-Vibe ), acquired the company, they were left with that limitation. So now that the time has come to bring Pleasure Air technology to men, they’ve started the Arcwave brand.
All this to say that the often copied but rarely matched Womanizer and Arcwave are one and the same!
So what is Pleasure Air Technology?
Pleasure Air tech generates air pulses that can almost feel like suction at times because of the seal it forms against erogenous zones.
It became known for quickly and efficiently yanking out orgasms out of clitorises around the world. It became extremely popular amongst cis women, especially since your only option back in the day was to rely either on vibrations or motions.
How does this former clit focused tech translate to your dick?
The Arcwave Ion is made to stimulate the frenulum, which is definitely underrated when it comes to male pleasure as it is essentially the penis’ closest equivalent to the clitoris.
You can still stroke with the Ion even with its targetted focus. But if you like a nice gradual & intense build-up, definitely try letting the Ion do its work by leaving it in place over your frenulum.
The quality of orgasms here is kind of out of this world. It can give you the type of orgasm more commonly found amongst women or with prostate stimulation; The leg-shaking, full-body orgasm type.
It’s worth noting that it is so different from a traditional stroker that you might need a few sessions to get used to it.
On lower settings, it can be a tremendous edging tool as well!
Like some of the more recent Womanizer products, the Arcwave Ion also comes with Smart Silence.
It’s a feature that turns off the toy when it isn’t in contact with your body, which is great if you have nosy roommates as chucking the toy away will automatically turn it off.
Otherwise, the toy really isn’t silent when in action. So if your walls are super thin, Smart Silence won’t do much for stealth.
How to clean
Clean-up and storage are handled super well here. I’d even argue it’s the best take on this difficult aspect of male toys.
It’s extremely easy to clean as it is mostly made of silicone. Plus, the silicone part is completely removable, which makes clean up even less of a chore.
But what deserves the most praise in that department is the beautiful and inconspicuous charging dock that also acts as a drying station.
And it’s not just a simple drying rack. You see, inside the charging station there are “Drytech” silica pouches meant to suck up all the leftover moisture from your toy, preventing the formation of mold, which is a common issue with penis masturbators.
Vaginal & Oral Simulator by Realdoll
So you saw the affordable Firefly silicone male masturbators at the beginning of the article and just wished you could get something more realistic and premium in the same great medical-grade silicone material…
Well, wish no more, because Realdoll has your back!
The Oral and Vaginal Simulators by Realdoll are the most realistic silicone strokers you can get your hands on today!
And with silicone strokers being so damned rare, what a surprise it is to find a toy that even rivals the likes of the most realistic Fleshlight models you can buy!
These are also more detailed than any best Fleshlight with realistic creases and color variations where it counts. The Realdoll Simulators are truly uncanny penis masturbators, so if visuals are important to you, this is it!
I probably don’t have to repeat why silicone is so great compared to the usual TPE as I’ve already covered this in the Firefly entry at the beginning of the article.
But if you’re too lazy to scroll back up, the broad lines are: It’s way more durable, non-porous so it is easier to clean and fully sanitize ( something that is impossible with traditional TPE strokers ), and it remains soft without the need of using corn starch!
On top of the amazing realism and the superior, more durable, medical-grade silicone, this toy is also great in use!
Unlike the Fireflys, the closed design delivers plenty of suction and there’s a small hole/valve that allows you to release some of the pressure as well. The shell-less design also lets you squeeze your grip on the toy for some extra tightness & pressure.
The ribbed texture is also pretty satisfying and while the silicone is a touch more rigid than your usual TPE, it’s close enough that it shouldn’t cause you any troubles!
How to clean
Thoroughly rinse out the stroker, then run some soapy water ( mild soap works best ) inside the toy. Rinse it out once more and leave it in a position where it can completely drain out until it’s completely dry before storing.
Thanks to the silicone it is also possible to give it a deep clean & sanitize it fully. You can either substitute the mild soap in the step above with a 10% bleach water solution OR boil your stroker for a few minutes in a pot. Sanitizing will also allow you to share your toys without any risks if you’re into that kind of thing!
Insert Facilitator by Realdoll
If you’re looking for a more organic experience without spending thousands of dollars on a life-size sex doll, “torsos”, as we call them in the industry, are definitely the way to go.
Torsos can be anything between a full-size sex doll and a stroker.
And while there are a lot of options to pick from in that department, most options come in porous, hard-to-clean materials that can even become dangerous to your health over time. Meaning that your investment will quickly become a sticky, crumbling, moldy mess.
This is where the insert facilitator by Realdoll comes in and steals the show… If you like women that is.
At a similar price to the other non-body safe options out there, it’s the most realistic masturbator you will find. It’s also incredibly durable as well, so you won’t have to replace it any time soon. But most importantly, it’s very easy to clean and sanitize since it’s entirely made of platinum-grade silicone.
The only downside is that this uncanny masturbator can only be used in one position. So if you prefer doggy style or more than one orifice, you might want to check out Realdoll’s more expensive torsos!
How to clean
The best part is that, unlike most other torsos, the sleeve is entirely removable, so you don’t have to clean the whole thing after every session.
Just take out the attachment, rinse out, wash with mild soap, rinse again and leave it to dry before putting it back in. If you want to fully sanitize it, just put the attachment in boiling water for a few minutes, let it dry out completely, and you’re done!
