Last updated: October 04, 2024Making a sex toy at home is simple and we’ll show you how. In this article we discuss how to make DIY masturbators, homemade masturbation sleeves, and male strokers. We will also talk about DIY prostate massagers and cock rings.
Chances are you have most of the materials you need already. We’ll walk you through easy to make homemade sex toys for men and discuss vibrating options you can create with things you can find around your house.
If you decide that you’d rather buy an off-the-shelf solution you can check out our reviews of the best fleshlights and best masturbators on the market.
Let’s walk through some of the best homemade sex toys starting with the Fifi and then moving on to DIY sponge masturbators, cornstarch strokers, homemade vibrators, and homemade dildos.
With a bit of ingenuity you should be able to make a homemade sex toy from something you already have at home. We’ll provide full shopping lists & product recommendations for anything additional that you might need. If you don’t already have some, you should go ahead and get some lube or a lube alternative.
A Fifi is a homemade male masturbation toy made from a towel, a latex glove, and (optionally) a rubber band. They function like homemade fleshlights.
We recommend that you use lube with your fifi, but you can try it without and see which sensation you like best.
You can also use a toilet paper roll instead of a rolled up towel. Start by removing the inner cardboard tube and place your latex glove inside of the roll.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly version of a Fleshlight, look no further. You’ll need a sponge and a tube such as a plastic bottle or a Pringles can. If you are using a bottle, make sure to cut off the top and then make sure the edge isn’t jagged – taping over the edge can help.
That’s it! You can then insert your penis and grip the side of the can or bottle for movement. We recommend using lube!
Bubble wrap can be used to make an excellent homemade pocket-pussy.
 You can choose to either hold the bubble wrap together with your hands, or use duct tape for a tighter roll.
Chances are you have a box of cornstarch in your pantry. You can use this cornstarch to craft your own homemade sex toy.Â
You can either use your cornstarch masturbator like this or place it into a ziplock bag for easier clean-up. Some people also keep the device in the cup so that it lasts longer.
You can use a pool floatie as a masturbation toy. This one is one of the easiest DIY options that we’ve found.
Note that the pool noodle material can be abrasive, so it’s best to use either a latex glove or a condom, and we highly recommend using lube. This will increase the slippery feeling and ensure you don’t get a painful rash from the friction.
Ice packs are not actually made out of ice, but a gel material. You can harness this gel for your own purposes.Â
If you’re into it, you can use the gel when it is still cold. It will be firmer, and some people love the cold sensation – just be careful!
While all the toys above will provide excellent homemade sensation, you may want to consider making a DIY vibrating sex toy. These devices are more involved, but the end result is an affordable homemade vibrator.
If you use an electric toothbrush you should use one with a new head to it. You will also want to place a condom over your electric toothbrush. A condom will add a layer of protection and as long as you use a thin condom, you’ll still be able to feel everything.
Take advantage of something you likely already have at home: an electric razor. Remove the blade from the razor for safety and use the handle end of the razor as the contact point. Place the razor against anywhere on your body and gently massage yourself. Try using the electric razor around the base of your penis or rimming around your perineum and asshole.
Are you willing to spend a bit of money on a kit? The Clone-A-Willy and Balls Vibrator Molding Kit allows you to make a mold out of any penis. This could be yours, if you so wish, or a partner. It is perfect if you have a partner in a long-distance relationship but still want to be close with them.
Many men find that stimulating your prostate gland to be very pleasurable. There are a number of items you can use around your house to massage your prostate.
Before using a banana as a prostate toy we recommend placing a condom over it. This will help with lubrication and smooth out the rough texture of the banana peel.Â
If you have a hairbrush with with a long, thin handle, you can use this as a homemade sex toy. Make sure there are no cracks in the hairbrush. Having it break off is the last thing you want. We also suggest using a condom with the hairbrush for an extra layer of protection against abrasions.Â
A wooden spoon can be used as a prostate massager. Make sure the spoon sturdy and free of cracks. You may also want to purchase a new one and keep it separate from your other cooking supplies.
 Again, using a condom over your wooden spoon is recommended. It will provide lubrication and prevent cuts and abrasion.
Cock rings work by restricting the blood flow out of the penis. This leads to a firmer erection and can increase sensation.Â
Regular shoelaces are an easy way to craft your own cock ring. All you need to do is take a shoelace and tie it around the base of your penis. You should use a knot that is easy to untie, like a bow. Have scissors on hand to remove the shoelace if you have trouble untying the knot when you’re finished.
Hair ties make for perfect DIY cock rings. Choose one that is as thick as possible to spread out the pressure. Try different sizes: start large and then try gradually smaller hair ties.
 Also note that different hair ties have different elasticity and some may be looser than others. If you find one that is too loose, either purchase a different one or fold it over for a tighter constriction.
Looking for more? You can try incorporating new sensations into your masturbation sessions.
Ice is a popular sensation toy as everyone has it at home and it is relatively safe. Try rubbing one on and around your penis or rimming your anus with it. Try rubbing your body with an ice cube and then removing it to warm up and then placing it back on again.Â
Sometimes a small enhancement can make a big difference. If you are a fan of traditional masturbatory practices, why not trying a bit of oil when going about your task. Oil is a lovely lubricant that is easy to wash off.Â
Coconut oil is a good starting place. You can also try a more elegant option, such as Earthly Body Dare to be Bare Soothing Miracle Oil. Made from tea tree oil and hemp seed, this has a great smell to it and will provide a wonderful sensation.Â
We recommend that you always use an actual sex toy for masturbation, as they are made specifically for that purpose. And if you don’t happen to own one yet, we highly suggest ordering one from any of our trusted partners, like Lovehoney, Hustler Hollywood, or The Enhanced Male. Or if you can’t order online, find an adult product store nearby or check the hygiene aisle of your local pharmacy or big box store.
But if you absolutely cannot wait, please make note of the safety precautions that we mentioned in this article. Don’t let your dick get ahead of you brain: If you decide on inserting something into your anus make sure it has a flared base and is sturdy, and if you’re inserting yourself into something – wear a condom! Crafting a homemade sex toy is a fun a creative way to enhance your own pleasure.
Why not get a little creative? Pleasuring yourself is a natural act and everybody does it. For those that are tired of their hand, or want to try something new there are many DIY contraptions you can craft. Whichever homemade toys you decide to make be sure to use plenty of lube.
