The best sex toys for men may not enjoy the kind of press and popularity as sex toys for women and people with vulvas, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a wide variety of toys out there waiting to be enjoyed. From penetrative toys to strokers, vibrators, and even suction-based designs, the world of male pleasure tech has advanced rapidly in recent years.
As with other kinds of sex toys – from vibrators to sex toys for couples – pleasure devices offer plenty of benefits for men. Alix Fox, an award-winning sex expert and spokesperson for sexual wellness brand Tenga, says toys can be a way to help you improve your partnered sex life, and they can help you to slow down, be more present and experiment with new sensations.
Masturbating using just your hands can lead to so-called ‘death grip’, which reduces sensitivity during penetrative partnered sex. Fox adds, “Toys are also simply fun. They can introduce men to entirely new feelings and experiences.”
Even so, men remain far less likely to have a sex toy than women. Research highlighted by Fox, using data from Durex, shows that around 77 per cent of women who masturbate have tried a toy, while only about 25 per cent of men say the same. Whether you’re curious about experimenting for the first time or already have a few favourites, there’s never been a better moment to explore what’s out there.
If you’re looking to try out a sex toy for the first time, or if you’re an experienced sex toy shopper looking to bulk up your collection, read on for my pick of the best sex toys for men, to help you take your experiences to the next level.
How I tested
The testing criteria for vibrators are pretty detailed, and I paid attention to the following qualities
- Settings: I assessed the range of speeds and vibration patterns to see how versatile each toy was. I put each one to the test to see how it performed.
- Battery life: I tested how long the vibrator could run before needing a recharge.
- Materials: I checked whether the toys were made from body-safe, easy-to-clean materials.
- Weight and ease of use: I considered how comfortable the toy felt to hold and whether the button placement made it simple to control.
- Noise levels: I measured the decibel level at the highest setting to see how discreet each toy was.
- Attachments and features: I explored extras like dual motors, interchangeable parts, and unique vibration styles.
- Added touches: I also compared travel locks, storage cases, and overall run-time to see which designs offered the most value.

Godemiche offBeat masturbator
Best: Men's sex toy overall
Material: Silicone
Settings/speeds: None
Waterproof: Yes
Why we love it
- Handmade
- Fully customisable
Godemiche is an independent sex toy brand that hand-makes its huge range of silicone toys. The offbeat masturbator slips over the penis to add an extra dimension of sensation during masturbation or partnered play. It’s easy to clean and is reusable.
There are several inner-textures to choose from, including wavy, bumpy, bubbly, and textures such as the ‘kraken’, which features a mesh-like innertube to create a noisy, suction-like feeling when used with plenty of lube. As all the toys are hand-made, you can customise your inner texture and even pick the colour. If you can’t decide which colour to choose, you can also opt for the ‘surprise me’ option.
All masturbator sleeves are made with stretchy, body-safe silicone, so they must be used with water-based lubes only to avoid compromising the surface of the toy.

Lovehoney butt tingler vibrating butt plug
Best: Men's butt plug
Material: Silicone
Settings/speeds: 10
Waterproof: Yes
Why we love it
- Separate bullet vibrator
- T-shaped base for safety and ease of use
This vibrating butt plug is the ideal toy for taking your anal exploration to the next level. With a T-shaped flared base for safety and ease of use, it has a 4.5in girth and applies vibration directly to your P-spot, which can result in powerful orgasms.
It comes with a three-speed mini bullet vibrator that can be inserted into the butt plug or removed and used on other erogenous zones, such as your perineum. If your partner has a vulva, the bullet can be used for clitoris stimulation – although, ensure you clean it before switching things up.
Made from soft, body-safe silicone, this butt plug is submersible (you can use it in the bath or shower) and easy to clean. The vibrator requires one AAA battery, which is not included with the toy.

Arcwave ion masturbator
Best: Suction sex toy for men
Material: ABS plastic and silicone
Speeds/settings: 8
Waterproof: Yes
Why we love it
- Sleek design
- Ribbed inner tube
Take note
- Only 3.5in of penetrable length
This product uses “pleasure air technology”, like that found in a range of clitoris suction toys, to create a suction sensation for the penis. The Arcwave sends waves of suction down the shaft, targeting your most sensitive spot: the frenulum. Plus, the ribbed texture inside the toy adds even more stimulation.
The toy offers 3.5in of penetrable length and weighs 355g, meaning it is on the hefty side. Thanks to its sleek design and charging base that doubles as a dryer, you might not feel the need to hide it away in a drawer.

Hot Octopuss pulse solo interactive
Best: Hands-free sex toy for men
Material: Silicone
Settings/speeds: 6
Waterproof: Yes
Why we love it
- Great option for men with erectile dysfunction or limited mobility
- Fully interactive
- Hands-free pleasure
Hot Octopuss is probably one of the best-known brands for male sex toys, and for good reason: its original Pulse Solo toy was a game changer. The pulse solo interactive uses all the same technology as the original iteration, but with added interactive features.
This small but powerful masturbator can be connected to more than 4,000 interactive videos on a variety of platforms (viewed on a phone via Bluetooth capabilities), or to other pulse solo devices, for partnered play.
The technology used is rooted in medical science, showing that specific frequencies and amplitudes of vibrations can help men with spinal cord injuries orgasm. The pulse solo isn’t a medical device but can be enjoyed by those who struggle to climax for a variety of reasons. It can also be used while flaccid, making it a great option for anyone experiencing erectile dysfunction.
It can also be enjoyed hands-free and has six vibration and pulse modes to choose from. Alternatively, use it with a slick of water-based lube to create a next-level sleeve-style masturbator.

Lovehoney mantric remote control prostate vibrator
Best: Men's prostate sex toy
Material: Silicone
Settings/speeds: 7
Waterproof: Yes
Why we love it
- Bulbous shaft for extra sensation
- Flared base doubles as perineum massager
- Remote controlled
This massage wand is perfectly curved to target your prostate, while the ribbed base means the toy is safe to use (never used an anal toy without a flared base) and doubles as a way to stimulate your perineum, for added sensation.
The bulbous shaft comes with seven vibration settings to choose from, so you’re bound to find one to suit. When you do, you can save it, using colour-coded LED lights in the remote control, so you won’t have to waste time looking for it again later.
Enjoy this toy hands-free or give the remote control to a partner for a fun power exchange. This toy needs to be used with plenty of water-based lube and is fully submersible – meaning you can use it in the bath, and it’s very easy to clean.

Lelo tor 3
Best: Men's vibrating ring sex toy
Material: Silicone
Settings/speeds: 8
Waterproof: Yes
Why we love it
- App controlled
- Soft flexible silicone
Take note
- May not fit all body sizes
Designed to slip over the penis, ring toys such as the tor 3 are great for use alone or with a partner. The ring gently restricts blood flow to the penis, which can help you stay harder for longer and lead to more fulfilling orgasms when the toy is removed.
This design also vibrates, sending a tingly sensation down your shaft and essentially turning your penis into a vibrator in its own right.
If you’re willing to splash out on state-of-the-art toys, Lelo offers top-of-the-range devices, and the tor 3 is the brand’s latest model. This ring is app-controlled, with eight different settings for you and your partner to enjoy.
It’s made from premium-grade silicone that feels warm to the touch and is fully flexible, meaning it fits most body sizes. It’s also fully waterproof, making it easy to clean or use in the bath or shower, should the mood take you.

Tenga egg variety pack
Best: Variety sex toy for men
Material: Thermoplastic elastomer
Settings/speeds: None
Waterproof: Yes
Why we love it
- Easy to use
- Fits most bodies
- Very versatile
Take note
- Single use
Tenga eggs have developed a bit of a cult following in recent years, and for good reason. They’re relatively affordable, easy to use, and take masturbation to the next level.
The open end of the egg slips over the head of the penis, and then can be pulled down your shaft to add extra sensation. While they may look small, these eggs are super stretchy and fit almost all bodies.
The inside of the eggs comes in a variety of textures, from ribbed, dotted and brush-like, among many others. You can choose your favourite or grab a variety pack like this one to keep things interesting.
The eggs come pre-lubed, but I recommend adding a little extra for more sensation. On the downside, these toys are single-use only, so once you’ve used them, you’ll have to chuck them away.

Lovehoney rocks off petite sensations vibrating anal beads
Best: Men's sex toy for first-time anal play
Material: Silicone
Settings/speeds: 3 speeds, 4 patterns
Waterproof: Yes
Why we love it
- Great for beginners
- Flared base for safety
- Removable vibrator
These petite vibration anal beads are great for beginners and pros alike. The slim design makes this toy a great choice for people looking to explore anal play for the first time, while the length and added option for vibration mean they’ll still provide a thrill for the more experienced.
The small bullet vibrator slips into the flared base, but can also be removed and used separately on other erogenous zones, such as your perineum or a partner’s clitoris. The bullet offers three speeds and four patterns.
These beads are waterproof, but you’ll need to use them with plenty of water-based lube for comfortable insertion, so using them in the bath or shower might be an issue, as water can make lube less slippery and more difficult to use.

Tenga flip zero black
Best: Sex toy for men for design
Material: Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and silicone
Settings/speeds: None
Waterproof: Yes
Why we love it
- Lots of sensations in one toy
- Easy to clean
- Travel-friendly
While this product’s name sounds like that of a retro flip phone, the Tenga flip zero might just be the toy of the future. Inside the hard outer case of the sleeve are several layers of textures and moving parts to create a powerful and dynamic sensation.
First are the geared edges that wrap around the base of the shaft, then the cross rampart to stimulate the main part of the penis, and finally the dynamic flip orb and solid end orb, which caress the head of the penis. This toy really hits you from every angle.
The opening creates a one-way seal, which means whatever lube you’re using can’t get out once the penis is inserted. This also ensures there’s no friction and creates an even deeper feeling.
The toy can be flipped open for easy cleaning, and the side tubes double as a drying stand. It’s always best to air-dry your toys to prevent towel fibres sticking to them, so the added stand is a great bonus feature.

Sinful unlimited pleasure couple’s vibrator
Best: Men's sex toy for partnered sex
Materials: Silicone
Settings/speeds: 20
Waterproof: Yes
Why we love it
- Great for partnered play
- Two vibrators in one
This toy is a bit of a Swiss Army knife. With a ton of features and functions, it can be used with a partner or enjoyed solo.
The pincer part can wrap around the shaft of your penis, adding a tingly vibrating feeling, or can be used to stimulate other erogenous zones. The handle also vibrates and can be used for anal play. If your partner has a vulva, the pincers can be used to stimulate the clitoris, or the handle can be used for internal vibrations. Overall, the toy has 20 settings, which can be controlled via the buttons on the shaft.
The toy is made from soft, body-safe silicone and is fully waterproof, so you or your partner can use it in the bath or shower. On the downside, it only has a run time of 50 minutes and takes up to two hours to recharge.

Your sex toys for men questions answered
What is the best sex toy for men?
If you’re looking for something easy to use and low-key, while you ease into the world of men’s pleasure devices, your best bet is going to be the Godemiche offbeat masturbator. It will fit right into your usual self-care routine, it’s long-lasting, and it’s relatively affordable.
If you’re looking for a different sensation, opt for the Arcwave ion. While it’s more of an investment, it’s one of the most exciting male sex toys on the market. Meanwhile, the butt tingler plug from Lovehoney is a great all-around anal toy.
If it’s a toy to use with a partner you’re looking for, the Tor 3 can take things up a notch; however, it’s not a sure fit for all bodies, despite having plenty of stretch. For something more pliable that works with all genitals, Sinful’s couple’s vibrator is much more versatile, and it’s great for beginners, too.
