How to Make a Male Masturbator
You’ve waited all day. You’ve heard the front door shut, and now you’re home alone. “Yes”, you think, “Now I have some alone time”.
You grab your phone, go on your favorite website and start going about your business. However, this time, it doesn’t feel that good. It’s okay, but you want more. You want to feel the “real” thing; you want a male masturbator .
But in a time of need, you don’t have one. Only 34% of males own a sex toy, and you're the other 66%.
You look online and think, “Wow”, “3 working days for delivery”. It’s Saturday, so it won’t come until Wednesday - “I can’t wait that long”, you say to yourself.
Out of nowhere, you think, “I can make one, surely”. And that’s why you’re here. You’re right. You can make one. There are actually a few different ways to make a male masturbator.
What is a Homemade Male Masturbator
A homemade male masturbator is a self-constructed device used for male sexual pleasure. These male “toys” are created from everyday household items and mimic the sensations felt by commercial sex toys like a Fleshlight or pocket pussy.
The 3 Components of a Male Homemade Sex Toy
Whether you’re making a homemade Fleshlight or a pocket pussy, there are typically 3 components:
1. Recipient
The recipient component is the part of the toy that comes directly in contact with your body. It receives the “results of your efforts”, so to speak.
Ideally, you want something that feels like the walls of the vagina (this is a little like the roof of your mouth).
Some household items that can mimic this “feeling” are condoms, latex gloves, and nitrile gloves. Just be sure to add some type of lube to get the wet sensation.
2. Padding
Padding is what provides the sensation and tightness during use.
The recipient is inside the padding, so the padding is what really turns condoms, gloves, etc., into homemade male sex toys.
You can get really creative with the padding. The best options we know about, however, include soft sponges, towels, and even hollow pool noodles.
Pretty much anything that’s soft, tight, and safe to put your “thing” in there.
3. A Shell (Optional)
The shell component is entirely optional.
It’s more for those who don’t want to rely on their hands to get the “tight” sensation from their homemade toy. Think of it as the “body” that holds everything together.
When it comes to shells, just be sure they’re not sharp; otherwise, that might hurt. Consider a rigid container, like a Pringles can, reusable drink cups, or even a plastic bottle.
12 Types of Homemade Male Sex Toys (And How to Make Them)
1. Sock Pussy
At the end of the day, everyone has a pair of socks. Old or new, it doesn’t matter. That’s why this is in the number one spot.
To make this, you just need some socks, a latex glove, some rubber bands (or hair elastics), and some lubricant.
Plus, once you’ve used it, you can just undo it and mix it in with the rest of the laundry. It’s super discrete, so nobody will know.
Materials Required
- Some socks
- A single nitrile or latex glove
- Rubber bands or hair elastics
- A bit of lube
How to Make It
- Place the socks inside of each other (add more socks to increase tightness).
- Put the latex glove inside the sock interior. Make sure the wrist of the glove can be tightened down to the opening of the socks.
- Add the rubber bands or hair elastics to hold everything together.
- Apply lubricant to the toy.
2. Towel Pussy
A towel pussy, otherwise known as a “ fifi ” in prison, is where you use a towel, glove, and some lube to make a homemade pussy.
The construction of a towel pussy is a lot like the sock pussy. Arguably, however, it feels better because of the fuzzy texture of a towel. Plus, it can also be dipped in hot water to increase the sensation.
Even better, it can be used manually or hands-free. Manually, you just use it like a sock pussy. Hands-free, you can lodge it between your bed and mattress.
Materials Required
- A hand or face towel
- One latex glove
- Rubber bands or hair elastics
- Some lubricant
How to Make It
- Lay the towel down on a flat surface.
- Place the latex glove along the lower edge. Slightly hang the glove out of the towel so you can wrap it around the towel when rolled.
- Roll the towel into a burrito shape. For added tightness, fold the towel more.
- Add the rubber bands or hair elastics to secure it all together
- Apply lube to the toy.
3. Ice-pack Gel Pussy
The feeling of a lubed-up ice-pack is a little like a firm, fleshy texture, which many homemade male sex toys fail to provide.
Also, as an added extra, you can play around with the temperature. Of course, you don’t want it frozen. That could hurt. However, a little cold can cause blood vessels to constrict ( vasoconstriction ), making the skin more sensitive.
Alongside this, you can also heat up an ice pack. By putting it in hot water, it can get a little warm, which can also feel nice.
Materials Required
- Two gel ice packs or one large one
- Latex gloves or condoms
- Rubber bands or hair elastics
- A bit of lube
How to Make It
- Place the condom or rubber glove in the middle of an ice pack.
- Place the other ice pack over the condom or rubber glove. If you have a big ice pack, fold it over.
- Wrap the end of the condom or glove around the outside of the ice pack.
- Tie it all together by using rubber bands or hair elastics.
- Add a bit of lube.
4. Toilet Paper Pussy
The following homemade Fleshlight is something we call the “budget” option. It’s cheap, discrete, and gets the job done.
All you need is a toilet paper roll, preferably a new one, a latex glove or condom, and something to tie it all together, like a rubber band.
Materials Required
- One toilet roll
- A latex glove or condom
- Some rubber bands
- Lube
How to Make It
- Remove the cardboard tube from the toilet paper.
- Insert the condom or glove in the middle of the toilet paper.
- Pull the opening of the condom or glove over the outside of the toilet paper.
- Wrap some rubber bands around the toilet roll to hold it together
- Add lube.
5. Stuffed Animal Pussy
If you really need something to just get you through this time, a stuffed animal could also help.
All you need to do is cut a hole in the stuffed animal, insert some type of recipient, like a condom or glove, and then tie it in place with some rubber bands.
Please, however, make sure there’s nothing inside the stuffed animal that could damage your “you know what”—for instance, buttons, pins, etc. You don’t want to be that guy at the hospital.
Materials Required
- A stuffed animal/teddy bear
- Either a condom or latex glove
- Some rubber bands
- A little bit of lube
How to Make It
- Cut a hole in the stuffed animal (you can choose where).
- Look for any potential hazards inside (for instance, pins, buttons, and electronics).
- Insert the rubber glove or condom and leave the opening hanging out of the stuffed animal.
- Attach the rubber bands to the end of the glove or condom to hold it together.
- Apply some lube to the inside of the glove or condom.
6. Balloon Pussy
This homemade pocket pussy is a little bit more difficult to make. However, make it good, and it feels great (unless you have globophobia ).
To make this, you need four balloons, some duct tape, a container, and a latex glove (or condom).
The goal is to place the inflated balloons in the container, making a soft, squishy, skin-like receiver.
Materials Required
- Four balloons
- Some duct tape
- A Container (non-sharp and big enough for your “thing”)
- A latex glove or a condom
How to Make It
- Evenly inflate the balloons and put them into the container's corners. Make sure they’re tightly inflated, as this will be the padding of the toy.
- Inset the glove or the condom in the middle of the balloons.
- Use the duct tape to secure it all together. The balloons, condom (or glove), and the container.
- Apply some lube.
7. Pool Noodle Pussy
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Illum neque eaque, autem sit soluta, voluptatum libero magnam tempore ullam at harum vel, ad reprehenderit, nemo veniam quas in voluptas hic. Lorem ipsum dolor, sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Natus id officia omnis suscipit aut architecto repellat a quia eaque reiciendis blanditiis perferendis hic, nihil, mollitia. Iste velit aperiam, numquam dolorem.
Pool noodles, plus gummy bears, yes, gummy bears, plus a rubber glove, equals one hell of a homemade pocket pussy.
Most pool noodles are hollow. Therefore, you’ll need to cut the pool noodle to the size of your thing. You can then cut it in half (to expose the middle) and press some gummy bears into the walls. This is to make the padding feel more like a real vagina.
From here, you just add the glove, put it all together, and just like that, you have a homemade fleshlight.
Materials Required
- Pool noodle
- Gummy bears
- A rubber glove
- Glue (maybe)
- Duct tape
How to Make It
- Cut the pool noodle to a suitable length.
- Cut the pool noodle in half to expose the center.
- Push some gummy bears into the walls of the pool noodle. You can apply glue to them to make them more secure.
- Lay the glove in the middle of one side of the pool noodle.
- Add the other side of the pool noodle above the glove.
- Pull the wrist part of the glove over the outside of the pool noodle.
- Add duct tape to the pool noodle and glove to form the toy.
8. Pringles Pussy
When learning how to make a homemade sex toy for men, a lot of people think about a Pringles Pussy mainly because it’s similar to a Fleshlight .
The Pringles container acts as the body of the Fleshlight. You can then apply some padding, for example, some sponges, and then a receiver, like a condom or a latex glove.
Once combined, you have something like a Fleshlight - just without the mechanical features.
Materials Required
- A Pringles can
- Two sponges
- Duct Tape
- A latex glove
How to Make It
- Remove the lid from your Pringles can.
- Get both the sponges and sandwich the latex glove in the middle.
- Use the duct tape to turn the sponges into a shaft that can fit into the Pringles can.
- Put the sponge-glove device into the Pringle can.
- Pull the opening of the glove around the opening of the Pringles can.
- Secure it to the can by adding more duct tape around the opening.
- With a knife or scissors, cut small holes in the Pringles to prevent suction buildup.
- Apply a bit of lube to the glove.
9. Cup Pussy
The cup pussy is exactly like the Pringles pussy. However, instead of using a Pringles can, you’ll be using a large cup.
Materials Required
- A large cup
- Two sponges
- Duct tape
- A Latex glove
How to Make It
- Remove the lid from your cup.
- Get both the sponges and sandwich the latex glove in the middle of them.
- Use the duct tape to turn the sponges into a burrito-shaped device that can fit into the cup.
- Put the sponge padding you just made into the cup.
- Pull the opening of the glove over the outside of the cup.
- Secure the glove to the cup with duct tape.
- With something sharp, add some holes to the button of the cup to prevent suction buildup.
- Apply a bit of lube to the glove.
10. Silicone Pussy
If you just want to create something to “get through this time”, we don’t recommend making a silicone pussy. This is more for those that want to make a heavy-duty homemade pussy that isn’t “one-time” use.
A silicone pussy is exactly what it sounds like. You’ll be making your own pussy or sex toy using silicone. You can do this with some silicone, a candle, and a cup. You’ll also need other equipment, such as a knife, to carve out your silicone pussy.
Materials Required
- A candle
- Silicone
- A cup
How to Make It
- Grab your candle and begin making a mold for your penis. Use a knife to carve out the shape. Just make sure it’s around 25% bigger than normal. You can also use more padding to make it smaller; you can never make it bigger.
- Once carved, place the candle in the cup.
- Pour the silicone over the mold.
- Leave the silicone to dry.
- Once dried, make sure that there aren’t any sharp edges inside. If there are, make them smooth.
- Plus, if it’s too big, add some padding inside, for instance, a glove, some sponges, etc.
11. Watermelon Pussy
Perhaps you only have a watermelon available, or, in some cases, you may have sitophilia (no judgment here), which is a sexual desire for situations involving food. In that case, you can make a watermelon pussy.
It’s wet, easy to mold, and can feel great. However, just remember, this can be remarkably messy, and, well, you’ll need to throw the watermelon out when you’re finished.
Materials Required
- One watermelon
How to Make It
- Begin by cutting your watermelon in half.
- In the middle, calve a slit and scoop out some of the watermelon flesh.
- Before doing anything, you may want to place a towel down to catch the mess.
12. Soap Pussy
The last homemade pocket pussy we wanted to mention is the soap pussy. This just requires a bar of soap and something sharp to create a mold with. Nothing else. It’s simple, feels good, and it’ll leave your penis smelling great.
Materials Required
- A bar of soap (make sure it’s 30%+ bigger than the girth of your penis)
How to Make It
- Measure your penis to see the grirth of it.
- Cut a hole in the soap around the same size as the girth of your penis.
- Make it a little wet with warm water.
10 Homemade Lube Options
In the above ways of how to make a male masturbator, we’ve mentioned lube a lot.
And it’s very important to have, especially if you’re creating a homemade toy. However, not everybody has access to regular lube.
Because of this, we’re going to mention some homemade lube options you can use with your homemade toys.
Please, however, spot-test the following options in case they irritate your skin. You really don’t want it to itch down there.
1. Aloe Vera Gel
We’d class aloe vera gel as a water-based option. Therefore, it’s good for latex and non-latex gloves/condoms.
The reason we like it is because it’s natural, moisturizing, gentle on the skin, and, most importantly, doesn’t degrade latex.
Just make sure that you have a pure aloe vera gel. Ensure that there aren't any additives or alcohol in the aloe vera.
1. Cornstarch and Water
Another latex-friendly option is cornstarch and water. All you need to do is mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with 1 cup of water and heat it until it thickens.
Once cooled down, you’ll have this slick, lube-like consistency that you can then apply to your homemade male sex toy.
Before using the cornstarch, however, ensure that it’s cooled down so you don’t burn yourself.
2. Vegetable Glycerin and Water
When you mix 1 part vegetable glycerin with 3 parts water, you get a commercial water-based lube that’s safe with latex. Plus, for any vegans out there, it’s vegan-friendly.
3. Egg Whites
You can use egg whites, but we recommend avoiding this option if you can. It’s a mess and can sometimes foam up.
If you don’t have any other option, however, just be sure to use pasteurized egg whites. This will eliminate the risk of contamination.
Just so you know, this acts like a water-based lubricant, so it’s latex-friendly.
4. Flaxseed Gel
You can buy flaxseed gel from a shop. However, it’s also pretty easy to make it yourself if you have flax seeds available.
To make flaxseed gel from flaxseed, all you need to do is boil them. Once boiled, it’ll form a water-based gel that can be used as a safe lubricant.
5. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is another option, however, it’s not suitable for latex. It’s only recommended if you’re using non-latex gloves or condoms as the receiver.
When using coconut oil, you can easily add it directly (depending on its consistency) or add another oil-based ingredient to it.
By adding another oil-based ingredient, you’ll increase the smoothness of the oil.
6. Sweet Almond Oil
Sweet almond oil is commonly used to nourish the skin. It can also be used as a lubricant for men’s sex toys. Like coconut oil, however, it’s not safe for latex use—only non-latex or silicone.
7. Beeswax and Almond Oil
Another option that’s only suitable for non-latex gloves or condoms and silicon is beeswax and almond oil.
This was worth a mention as it’s slightly different from the other options mentioned in this post. Instead of being very liquid-based, it’s actually a lot thicker.
To make this, you’ll need to melt the beeswax and then add the almond oil. In the end, you’ll get thick, creamy lubricant.
8. Cocoa Butter
If you warm cocoa butter until it’s soft, you can also use this as a lubricant for your homemade fleshlight or pocket pussy.
The nice thing about cocoa butter is that it’s very healthy for your skin. Even better, it smells great, so you’re not left with any unpleasant smells.
9. Olive Oil
The last homemade lubricant we recommend is olive oil. Just make sure it’s pure olive oil, however.
We mentioned this last as it can feel a bit greasy, which isn’t great. But if you’re really in a time of need, olive oil can help out.
Why Make a Homemade Male Masturbator
If you’re debating whether to make a homemade Fleshlight or pocket pussy, we understand. It’s one of those things.
However, there are some reasons why you may want to make one. These include some of the following:
Cost-Effectiveness
Actual male masturbators aren’t cheap. At Muf , we have masturbation devices ranging from $8 all the way to $400+.
And to be honest, if you want something like a Fleshlight, you’re going to have to pay above $30 plus delivery.
Alongside this, it’s not like you and “try it before you buy it”. It just doesn’t work like that. Therefore, you can make your own first before investing in a real device.
Accessibility
Sometimes, you just don’t have a male masturbator when you need one. It’s usually a “spur of the moment” kind of thing.
However, most of the time, you buy sex toys online:
Source: Lovense
But who wants to wait? You need it now. And it’s for that very reason why making your own homemade sex toy is beneficial. You don’t need to wait.
Plus, for those living in Alabama , you can’t even order sex toys. Because of the 1998 Obscenity Law, no sex toys are allowed to be sold in the state. Therefore, making your own one could be the only option.
Customization
Everybody's sexual pleasures are different. And with male sex toys, sometimes, there are limitations on customization.
Everybody has a different size. Everybody has a different tightness preference. Everyone likes a different type of texture. And everybody likes different materials.
There’s not a “best way” to pleasure yourself with a male masturbator. There’s only the way you think feels good based on your sexual preferences.
Discretion
Despite more than 60% of people between 18 and 60+ owning sex toys, it’s not something we want people to find - ever.
However, with a homemade masturbator, it’s usually a one-time thing. Therefore, once you’ve used it, you can either clean it, disassemble it, or just throw it in the trash.
Experimentation
Though a male masturbator may feel “crude”, it isn’t. According to Bespoke Surgical, it’s actually the most popular sex toy in 10 different states.
Source: Bespoke Surgical
The big issue, however, is time and money. Most of these toys are purchased online, and most people spend around $150 to $250 annually on sexual wellness products.
Now, if you want, you could purchase a toy for yourself. However, it’s expensive. Therefore, before you commit to the investment, why not create one yourself? It won’t be as good, but it’ll give you a little insight into what to expect.
A “Time of Need”
If you’re looking into how to make a homemade sex toy for men, you need it now and now only. You don’t want to wait. Otherwise, you’d just order a sex toy.
There’s just something in you today where you just want that “feeling”. We get it. Everybody has these days. And a homemade male masturbator could help fulfill that need.
Tips to Make Your Homemade Pocket Pussy Better
Before using your own homemade male sex toy [1] , read the following tips. These tips will help improve the overall experience and make it a little bit better.
1. Use Lube
In a study about the usage of lube, 65.5% of women said they had used it. However, it’s not only a women's thing. Men can use it also.
In fact, using lube with a male masturbator is our number one tip. Without it, it’s going to be painful, unpleasant, and just not what you’re looking for.
If you have a commercial lube, such as something from Durex, great. This will work the best. If not, you can use various “home” goods.
You have various water-based lubes to use, for instance, aloe vera gel. This is ideal for both latex and non-latex condoms and gloves.
Alongside this, you have oil-based lubes, like coconut oil. Just remember, however, that you can’t mix oil-based lubes with latex gloves or condoms. They must be non-latex.
2. Consider Warming it Up (or Cooling it Down)
Temperature can have a huge impact on sexual arousal , so consider warming it up or even cooling it down.
Warming it up seems to be the most popular. If you’re using a towel or sponge as padding for your homemade sex toy, you can just soak it in warm water. This will provide a different kind of sensation.
Cool it down, however, and it’ll provide a different type of sensation, typically something that’s more sensitive. To achieve this, just stick it in the fridge or freezer for a little while.
Just remember, though, too hot or too cold also isn’t nice. Be very careful when warming or cooling down your homemade pocket pussy. The last thing you want is to hurt yourself.
3. Try Making it Hands-free
If you want a real pussy experience, you need it hands-free. There’s nothing more unnatural than having a non-hands-free pussy.
Luckily, there are plenty of DIY ways to make your male masturbator hands-free.
- Pillow: One of the simplest ways to make your toy hands-free is by wedging it in between a few pillows.
- Mattress: Like with the pillow, with a mattress, you can wedge it between the mattress and bed.
- DIY Mount: It’s also possible to make your own structure. For example, you could use a box, a plank, etc.
By making it hands-free, you unlock a completely different experience. Perhaps if you close your eyes, you may even think you’re doing it.
4. Remove Any Rough or Sharp Edges
6 in 10 people have hurt themselves during “lovemaking” - don’t add to this statistic. It’s not only embarrassing, but it’s also remarkably painful.
One of the most common ways to hurt yourself with a homemade device is with rough or sharp edges. It doesn’t matter what homemade pocket pussy you create, ensure there isn’t anything in the receiver that can hurt you.
5. Remember, Suction Buildup
More often than not, people forget about suction. Admittedly, when you’re considering making a homemade sex toy, it’s not the first thing you think about.
Luckily, it’s easy to avoid. All you need to do is pierce some holes in the bottom of the shell. For example, the bottom of a Pringles can or a cup.
Honestly, you don’t want to be that guy at the hospital with a cup stuck to their penis. Remember to avoid suction buildup at all costs.
6. Watch Adult Videos
Research shows that sex toys make us more satisfied . Mix this with adult videos, and you have a match made in heaven.
There are plenty of websites nowadays. Pornhub , for example. You can pretty much find any video you want on there. It’s not something you need to do. However, it can add to the experience.
