Masturbators are sex toys for men and will make masturbating feel so great that you and your masturbator will be inseparable.  Masturbators are available in various shapes, various materials, and various sizes. Most are made of silicone or rubber. If you want to try a masturbator, it is simply a matter of choosing which one is right for you. There are various brands that produce these sex toys for men. Fleshlight is a best-seller and Tenga is very popular as well. We will list all different kinds of masturbators below, making it easier for you to choose the toy that suits you best.

What are masturbators?

Masturbators are perfect toys for men who want to make masturbation even more pleasurable. A masturbator is a soft sleeve made of flexible material that you can penetrate. The sleeve is often protected by a solid casing which keeps the sleeve in its place. Many masturbators have adjustable suction power. The feeling that a masturbator provides cannot be compared to regular masturbation. And that is not surprising. The ‘lifelike’ feeling you get by using a masturbator is provided by the inner texture of the sleeve. The soft nubs and ridges stimulate and tease the nerve endings in your penis better than your hand ever could. Using a masturbator isn’t rocket science. So if you are a beginner, you will definitely experience just as much pleasure as anyone else. Besides the easy-to-use design of these toy, they are also easy to clean after use.

Masturbators: for men and couples

This kind of sex toy is a great addition to masturbation. Masturbators offer maximum stimulation of the penis, from the glans to the shaft. Orgasms will feel more intense. Even as a couple you can have fun with this type of sex toy. Masturbators are a great if penetration isn’t possible or if your partner isn’t ready for it (yet). It is also a great toy to use during foreplay. And another advantage: you can train your stamina with a masturbator, so you can keep going longer during sex. Alternate using a masturbator with other masturbation techniques. Going straight for the goal can get boring fast. Your body gets used to climaxing as soon as possible. Which is exactly what you don’t want when you’re having sex with your partner. Take your time, play with each other and your sex toys, and alternate masturbation with other kinds of stimulation. If you and your partner are unsure about trying a masturbator because of its realistic design, then go for a non-lifelike version, like an automatic masturbator or a Tenga masturbator. The most well-known toys produced by this brand are Tenga Eggs: a masturbator with an egg-shaped packaging. Great to use at home, but also very travel-friendly.

Realistic masturbators by Fleshlight

A masturbator is sometimes also called a fake vagina. If you are looking for more sensation during masturbation, preferably with a lifelike vagina, then Fleshlight is the brand for you. Fleshlight masturbators have varying textures on the inside, so you are stimulated in various ways while using the toy. The collection offered at Pabo consists of the most diverse Fleshlight series, like the Girls collection. These masturbators are molded from well-known porn stars. The Pink Lady Fleshlights are more basic and inexpensive. Apart from masturbators, Fleshlight also offers countless different accessories to use with your toy. Use your masturbator in bed, on the couch, or attach it to your shower wall.

Fake vagina and anus

Fake vaginas are masturbators that are designed to look and feel like a real woman. They are incredibly detailed and are provided with stimulating internal textures for a realistic experience. The range of lifelike masturbator is huge. Some men love fake vaginas because of the lifelike design. And these masturbators are considered to be perfect for beginners. A soft and flexible fake vagina is a great first experience. For men who like anal penetration or men who are not attracted to women, there are also masturbators with an anus opening.

Automatic masturbators

Are you looking for maximal pleasure and minimal effort? Then an automatic masturbator is the choice for you. It works just like a regular masturbator, but setting the vibration, intensity, and speed… it will do that for you. Some masturbators thrust or rotate. There are even masturbators that provide the feeling of a licking tongue. There are compact toys, but there are also elaborate automatic masturbators. If that is your cup of tea, you can be sure that you and your toy will become inseparable.

Use lubricant with masturbators

One thing that is always important to remember: you need lubricant. All masturbators should be used in combination with lubricant in order to smoothly glide it over the penis. Apply lubricant to your penis and the inside of the masturbator. This allows the toy to smoothly glide up and down your shaft and you will experience a lovely stimulation without uncomfortable friction. Use water-based lubricant, so you can be sure that the lubricant won’t negatively affect your toy.

This is how to clean your toy

Proper maintainance is key in making sure your masturbator stays in great shape for years. After use, clean your masturbator well with toy cleaner. Rinse your masturbator with lukewarm water on both sides. You can do this by removing the sleeve from the casing first. Apply toy cleaner to the inside and outside, and use your fingers to clean the sleeve. Then rinse it with water again and lay it down to dry before you safely store it. It is very important that the masturbator is completely dry before storing it to prevent molding.  Only put the sleeve back into the casing when the sleeve is completely dry. Apply renewal powder once in a while. This prevents the sleeve from drying out and keeps it flexible.
