While you’re probably a pro at using your hands, there’s a reason the best male masturbators are so popular. When you’re in the mood for something a little more intense than regular old manual stimulation—in the middle of a dry spell, say, or home alone with nothing better to do—these sex toys for men feel almost exactly like the real thing and sometimes even better.
“Research finds that men who use sex toys overwhelmingly report positive impacts on their intimate lives,” Justin Lehmiller, PhD, a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute tells Glamour. Plus, male masturbators can help you overcome issues like premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and even erectile dysfunction, he explains. Below are the best male masturbators, tested by Glamour reviewers and approved by sex experts. Don’t pretend you’re not curious.

Maude Dome

Maude is best known for its simple, vulva-focused vibrators, but the brand’s first foray into the world of masturbation sleeves is exceptional. Double-sided and alluringly soft, it’s exactly the kind of no-nonsense toy that beginners and experts alike will enjoy. Simply lube it up and start stroking; the open-ended design works well for solo and partnered play and allows for easy cleanup. “My partner and were both blown away by this little $35 piece of silicone—we agree that it beats a hand every time,” a Glamour sex toy tester raves.

One of Lelo’s most underrated offerings, this automatic male masturbator is ideal for solo play, especially if you’re planning to settle in for a longer session. Things get even more high-tech when you download the accompanying app, which turns your phone into a remote control. There are also two sizes available, meaning most penis lengths and girths should be covered. “I was skeptical about how good this would feel, but I was proven wrong—it stimulates from all sides, with explosive results,” a Glamour reviewer says. “The F1S V3 is really worth firing up when you’re in the mood to play for a while, letting the sensations build up over time. I don’t love that it’s on the louder side and that there isn’t an open top, but cleanup is easy enough.”
