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.
