What to Consider When Choosing a Masturbator
Not all toys are created equal. Here are some key things to look for when shopping:
✔️ Material
Look for body-safe materials like silicone or TPE. These feel soft and realistic while being easy to clean. Avoid phthalates and always check for non-toxic ingredients.
✔️ Texture & Sensation
Some sleeves are tight and intense, others are smooth and gentle. Try a few styles to see what kind of stimulation you enjoy most.
✔️ Size & Shape
Want something small and discreet, or do you prefer a toy with a firm outer shell for a better grip? Choose based on your comfort and lifestyle.
✔️ Extra Features
Many modern masturbators come with added perks like heating, vibration, suction, or mobile app control. These features can boost pleasure significantly.
