Why You Should Trust Us

Tim LarsonHi there. I am Tim Larson. When I started My Sex Toy Guide in 2016, I vowed to assemble the brightest minds in the sexual wellness world. This proved to be a winning formula, and today, we have millions of readers and a diverse team comprising researchers, sexologists, and sexual health writers.

For this article, I pre-selected 25 male masturbators based on affordability, which we reviewed in a month-long testing exercise. Of the original 25, only 8 made it through our rigorous test process. Because of our strict testing process, we are confident that this list only has the highest-rated products!

If you have questions or product recommendations, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can call me at +1 307-372-3895 or send an email to [email protected]. We also try to answer all comments left on our articles.

 


How We Picked the Products

For this article, I pre-selected 25 male masturbators solely based on affordability. While most people think cheap male sex toys are synonymous with low quality, in most cases, it means that the products are just more affordable for people on a budget.

During the selection process, I filtered out strokers made from unhygienic and porous materials; for some reason, there were a lot. The material was a priority because safety is always at the center stage of our reviews. I also defined test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100.

In a month-long exercise, I distributed the products to my male colleagues for review. The testers submitted a report with specific pointers that set the affordable male sex toys apart. I also used notes from my own testing to identify similarities with my colleagues’ reports. This way, I could reduce the number of masturbators from twenty-five to twelve.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Price & Value (25%) and Stimulations (25%). After that comes Design  (10%), Materials (10%), and Settings (10%).

I also looked up reviews from major vendors and user accounts from sex toy forums. Finally, I compared my notes to the third-party views helped to further skim the number to the eight best cheap masturbators.

In this chapter, you can see a comparison table with all the products we tested. As you can see, each row has the test criteria our team used during the testing. To make our testing process even more transparent, we also included the raw test data so you can see how the products performed with each test criteria.

1. Fleshlight Quickshot Vantage: Our Overall Test Winner!

Quickshot Vantage

If you’re looking for the best cheap masturbator, the Fleshlight Quickshot Vantage is it! The $34 toy is compact, making it a perfect addition for people who are always on the move – it seamlessly fits into your travel plans.

The Quickshot Vantage’s wavy texture hugs your dick from all sides, allowing an even sensation distribution. And with differently sized waves providing a varying degree of resistance, the instroke and outstroke are equally pleasing.

A standout feature was the transparent design. Sandra loves the look of my penis in a sleeve, and she couldn’t be happier. In addition, the small size leaves room for extra stimulation on the testicles and head, making it an ideal choice for freaky coupled foreplay.

The Quickshot inner sleeve showing the texture

I loved that I could use the stroker without the case. The sleeve-only stroking action allowed me to regulate the intensity with my grip.

The only downside was the size. While the Quickshot Vantage served me well, I think people with a penis girth past 5.5″ will find it too tight. In addition, those who prefer full-on shaft massage might have to look elsewhere.

Overall, Quickshot Vantage is the cheapest male masturbator. Besides the compact, travel-friendly size, it has an open-ended design that simplifies cleaning significantly. In addition, the corkscrew texture with differently sized waves makes for an exciting instroke and outstroke experience. And all these for $34.95 – it’s certainly a bargain. Complete review here.

If you want to see what Quickshot Vantage looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

  • Material: SuperSkin, ABS
  • Length: 4.4″
  • Insertable Length: 3.5″

2. Fleshskins Blue Ice: Most Ergonomic

Fleshskins Blue Ice

If you’re looking for a well-designed and appealing masturbator, you should check out Fleshkins Blue Ice. It’s well-made and versatile male and will only cost you $39.85.

Fleshskins Blue Ice’s canal has a series of cross-sectional bumps and tickling nipples that combine to massage your shaft. I thought the texture added an exciting degree of pleasure without being intimidating.

Fleshskins sitting on my hand

I especially loved the finger holes inscribed on the sides to simplify handling. Sliding the fingers into the holes pushes Fleshskins against your palm, giving you more control.

The Blue Ice masturbator has an open-ended design means cleaning is bliss. In addition, its 5.35″ insertable length leaves your penis’ head poking, giving your partner room for extra stimulation during coupled sex.

My only concern was its small size. Guys with longer penises and those looking for full-on massage might be disappointed.

So, if you’re looking for an affordable ergonomic masturbator, Fleshskins Blue Ice is the perfect option. Everything from the finger loops that simplify handling to the transparent material and textured sleeve stands out. In addition, the toy comes with a custom case that promotes faster drying and doubles as a storage case. Complete review here.

If you want to see what Fleshskins looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

  • Material: SuperSkin, ABS
  • Length: 8.75″
  • Insertable Length: 5.35″

Pros:

  • An ergonomic male toy.
  • The transparent material is ideal for visual kinksters.
  • The no-sleeve design allows you to regulate the intensity with your grip.
  • It comes with a handy storage case that doubles as a drying rack.
  • The open-ended sleeve makes cleaning easy.

Cons:

  • It might be too small for guys with longer penises.

3. Lovense Gush: Great For Hands-Free Play

Lovense Gush

Lovense Gush is the perfect choice for men looking for effortless stimulation. The penis massager envelops your dick, injecting the vibrations deep into the underlying tissues. Plus, you don’t have to stroke it manually; leave it on your dick and regulate the rumbles as you like. It even comes with a rubber band if you want a tighter fit.

Lovense Gush has a powerful motor with 10 vibration patterns and 3 intensity levels. And while I’ve used men’s vibrators with more settings, I think it offers a healthy selection of combinations for the price.

Lovense Gush has a silicone design with posable wings, allowing you to use the vibrating masturbator no matter your size. Even people with Peyronie’s Disease (PD) can use it.

Lastly, Lovense Gush connects to the Lovense mobile app. Besides adding more vibration possibilities, the smartphone app simplifies control while adding extra bells and whistles like sound-activated vibrations and music sync.

The only downside was that experienced folks might need extra motivation to orgasm. It’s a great choice for those with sensitive bits, but even then, you’ll need great luck.

Overall, the Lovense Gush is an ideal choice for hands-free stimulation. Its flexible silicone wings wrap around your penis while the powerful motor rumbles on. With a flexible design, people with Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or Peyronie’s Disease (PD) can use Gush. Complete review here.

If you want to see what Gush looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

  • Material: Silicone
  • Total Length: 3.39″
  • Width: 2.05″

Pros:

  • A well-made vibrating masturbator.
  • The flexible silicone design fits different penis sizes.
  • It’s made from medical-grade silicone.
  • The massager has a rubber band for a tight fit.
  • The Lovense Remote app simplifies close-range and long-distance control.

Cons:

  • Experienced folks will need something stronger.

4. Hot Octopuss JETT: Best Vibrating Model

Hot Octopuss JETT

Why we love Hot Octopuss JETT:

In a world of Guybrators, we rated Hot Octopuss JETT at the top. Plus, it’s also the cheapest! For $69, JETT is a bargain for the functionality you get with this bad boy!

The hands-free cock ring features two vibrating bullets attached to the shaft’s underside, targeting the frenulum and glans, two parts of the dick rich with nerve endings. Most importantly, the treble and bass technology induces high-frequency vibrations and rumbly, hard-hitting waves. And you can control the vibration independently.

Jett attached to a dildo

Notably, the sex toy is made from soft silicone. Besides being body-safe, the silicone traps enhance vibrations transfer to the shaft for intense stimulation. I especially loved the proximity to the tip. I thought the position made the sensations even more robust because the frenulum is more sensitive to pleasure.

Something else I loved about the Hot Octopuss JETT was the included controller. The wired remote control has multiple buttons to help you regulate the bullet’s bass and treble vibrations. And with 10 speeds and functions, the toy provided an excellent range of possibilities to explore.

Thanks to the stretchy silicone loop, the easy-to-use male masturbator fits almost any penis size. The penis chamber stretches up to 2.9″, making it perfect for most guys.

Minor issues we noted found during testing:

Unfortunately, JETT is not waterproof, a bummer for aquatic play fans. In addition, the bullet vibrators are battery-powered – rechargeable batteries would have been better.

Why Hot Octopuss JETT is the cheapest vibrating male masturbator:

So, if you want an affordable yet powerful frenulum and glans massager, please go and buy Hot Octopuss JETT today. The $69 male masturbator features two robust bullet vibrators, an all-silicone body, a wired controller, and multiple vibration combinations you can regulate independently.

If you want to see what Hot Octopuss JETT looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our review of Hot Octopuss Jett here.

  • Material: Silicone, ABS (controller)
  • Sleeve Size: 2.55″ x 2.36″
  • Chamber: 1.18″

Pros:

  • Two powerful vibrating bullets.
  • The stretchable silicone loop will fit most penis sizes.
  • Easy-to-use wired controller.
  • Remarkable treble and bass technology.
  • You can regulate the rumbles independently.

Cons:

  • It’s not waterproof.
  • A wireless controller would have been better.

5. Tantaly Britney: Life-Size Model

Tantaly Britney sex doll torso

Tantaly Britney is the best full-size sex doll. The cheap realistic male toy features a pussy and ass orifice so you can switch between the two based on your mood. I especially liked the life-size design with fleshy butt cheeks and torso – it looks and feels like a small sex doll.

Britney looks and feels realistic-everything from the fleshy material to the tighter anal opening. I especially loved the extra handiness that comes with the chunky body. It has a sex doll concept to it, but it’s also portable and travel-friendly – maybe not as much as a regular toy, but it may fit in your travel bag.

The tits seen from POV angle

Something that caught my eye during the review was the 7″ textured canal with a realistic vagina orifice. The series of mild bumps reminded me of the Stamina Training Unit. And while the texture might be beginner-friendly, it hugs your penis from all fronts, training you to outlive the sensations and last longer in bed.

My only concern was the smooth exterior. It gets extra slippery during use, and you must have a towel within your arm’s reach.

Overall, Tantaly Britney is the cheapest life-size male masturbator. It has a vagina and anal orifice, a ribbed canal, a human skin-like feel, and a mini sex doll body shape for extra realism. Also, the canal opens up on the other end, significantly simplifying cleaning.

If you want to see what Tantaly Britney looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our Tantaly Britney review here.

  • Materials: TPE (Thermoplastic elastomers) / silicone (boobs only)
  • Net Weight: 28.6 lbs
  • Openings: Vagina, Anus
  • Vaginal Length: 7 in
  • Anus Length: 6.22 in

Pros:

  • Bouncy, realistic boobs, and ass
  • You can dress her.
  • Weight is ideal for her size
  • Realistic feel

Cons:

  • More expensive toy than other brands
  • Only one absorption stick included
  • Longer cleaning/drying time
  • Need room to store
  • No storage bag included

6. Tenga Eggs: Most Discreet

6 Tenga eggs

If you’re looking for the most discreet male masturbator, the Tenga Egg Wonder sex toys set gets the job done. The Tenga Egg pack comes with 6 differently textured eggs so you can enjoy varying sensations:

  • Wind – deep wavy texture
  • Stud – massive nodules
  • Mesh – elaborate mesh texture
  • Tube – ribbed consistency
  • Curl – steady bumps
  • Ring – swirls.

What I liked the most was their small, discreet size. Whether you live in a shared space or don’t want people to know about your sex toys, you’ll certainly appreciate the Tenga Eggs’ discreetness. It fits perfectly on your palm, and its ‘silence’ operation means you can use it anywhere.

Me testing a Tenga egg on a dildo

Something else I loved about the Tenga Egg set was the material. They’re made with a stretchy TPE material, allowing the egg to expand in length and girth to accommodate different penis sizes.

Besides the textured tunnel, Tenga Eggs’ no-case design meant I could regulate the intensity with my grip. I also loved twisting the egg between the strokes for a different yet intense experience.

The only downside? The eggs are small. And even with the stretchy material, guys with long penises will have a hard time.

Overall, the Tenga Egg set is an incredible choice for people after discreet sensations. Everything from the small size to the quiet mode of operation stands out. In addition, the six eggs are designed differently, allowing you to explore your favorite texture depending on your mood.

If you want to see what the Tenga Eggs looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

Do you want to know which is the best Tenga egg? Please read this review to find out!

  • Material: TPE
  • Insertable Length: 2.5″

Pros:

  • A discreet pack of Tenga Eggs
  • The stretchy TPE material fits most penis sizes.
  • Multiple textures promote even sensation distribution.
  • The small size makes the eggs travel-friendly.
  • No need for lube – the eggs come lubed up.

Cons:

  • It’s a one-time use masturbator.
  • Guys with longer penises might be disappointed.

7. THRUST Pro Mini Ella: Most Realistic

THRUST Pro Mini Ella

THRUST Pro Mini Ella is the most realistic model on this list. Besides the impeccable detailing with a vagina orifice, THRUST Pro Mini Ella realistic pocket pussy is made from human-like TPE. Plus, the sleeve-only design makes it easy to amplify the intensity by squeezing with your grip.

The heavily textured canal provides some degree of resistance to heighten the pleasure. And if you like twisting your stroker like me, Pro Mini Ella feels incredible when twisted mid-session.

The backside showing the bullet vibe hole and air hole

THRUST Pro Mini Ella has a small pocket at the base for your bullet vibrator. I tried different pocket vibes, and while I didn’t expect the entire sleeve to vibrate, the added rumbles around the penis tip were a welcome addition.

The only downside was the 5″ insertable length. It might be suitable for small to average users, but anyone past the 6″ mark won’t get full-on shaft massage.

So, if you’re looking for a realistic sensation, THRUST Pro Mini Ella fits the bill. For less than $20, you get a soft sleeve with a heavily textured interior and a human-like vagina orifice. And with a powerful bullet vibrator, you can enjoy extra sensations around the tip of your penis.

If you want to see what Mini Ella looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

  • Material: TPE
  • Insertable Length: 5″
  • Diameter: 0.25″

Pros:

  • The cheapest realistic masturbation sleeve.
  • It’s made from human-like TPE.
  • A heavily textured canal promotes intense sensations.
  • It has a small bullet vibrator pouch at the bottom.

Cons:

  • It might be small for guys with longer penises.
  • Cleaning the TPE sleeve is tedious.

8. TENGA Original Vacuum Deep Throat Onacup: Vacuum Sensation

TENGA Original Vacuum Deep Throat Onacup

TENGA’s Original Deep Throat Onacup is perfect for people looking for a one-time use masturbation sleeve with vacuum pressure.

Notably, the canal is lined with differently sized nubs that create vacuum pressure as you stroke back and forth. Unlike a smoothly-textured Onacup, the pressure adds a bit of resistance to play, ultimately leading to more intense sensations. It also has a suction hole at the end to regulate the suction pressure.

I noted the Onacup comes pre-lubed already during my review. For this reason, I didn’t need any lube to initiate play.

My only concern was the pricing. The Onacup costs $14.99, which most people have described as steep for a one-time-use toy.

So, if you don’t mind the price, TENGA’s Original Deep Throat Onacup is an excellent choice for people looking for a compact and travel-friendly male toy. The textured canal traps vacuum pressure inside to amplify the sensations.

  • Material: TPE
  • Insertable Length: 5″

Pros:

  • A well-made masturbator with vacuum pressure.
  • It’s a compact and travel-friendly choice.
  • The textured sleeve simulates deep-throat action.
  • Suction regulating hole at the end.
  • No need for lube – it comes action-ready.

Cons:

  • Some people will find it expensive for a one-time masturbator.

What Is a Cheap Male Masturbator?

A cheap masturbator is an affordable male sex toy. Of course, cheap is relative, but it means a masturbator under the $50 mark. Cheaper models might not last as long as the high-end options. Still, they let you experience the sensations before deciding whether or not to invest in an expensive, luxurious device.

A man thinking what masturbator to use

 


How To Use A Cheap Male Masturbator?

Using a cheap masturbator is no different from other strokers. Starting with the basics – ensure the toy is clean and you have a bottle of water-based lube within your arm’s reach. And although it might not be necessary, I like taking a warm bath and lighting scented candles before masturbation.

Romantic Bedroom

Once the mood is right, pop your masturbator, lube it up generously, and slowly stick your penis inside. Switch between slow and quick stroking actions to take advantage of the different degrees of stimulation.

A man holding a lube bottle

For masturbators with bullet vibrator porches, insert the vibrating bullet, fire it up, and enjoy the extra sensations.

Pro Tip: You can add cock rings, prostate massagers, or butt plugs to make the masturbation session even more pleasurable.

Here’s an article on how to use a cheap masturbation sleeve.

 


Cleaning and Maintenance

Unlike a sex doll, male masturbators are much smaller and easy to clean. Run warm water through the canal to push the dirt and semen off. Use antibacterial soap or a sex toy cleaner for a more hygienic wash. Lastly, rinse with clean water before air-drying the stroker in readiness for storage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How To Make a Cheap Homemade Male Masturbator?

Luckily, there are numerous ways to make male sex toys from home and you don’t need much – just a few provisions in the house. Here are some DIYs to consider as your next mini-project.

Can I Use a Male Vibrator If I Have Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Or Peyronie’s Disease (PD)?

Yes. Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or Peyronie’s Disease (PD) shouldn’t dull your sex life. You can use flexible and open-ended design models like the Lovense Gush. They’re easier to use, even without an erect or straight penis.

Can I Use a Masturbator with My Female Partner?

Sure! Your partner can always be a part of the experience. Especially during foreplay and mutual masturbation, you can leave your partner to stroke you, so your hands are free to focus on other parts of the body, leading to a more intense experience. You could also use your masturbator as your partner watches, an equally arousing experience for both parties.

Can A Male Masturbator Desensitize My Penis?

Male sex toys won’t desensitize your penis. However, the more you masturbate, either by hand or with an adult toy, your penis becomes less sensitive to mild sensations. It picks up more reference points with time, and you might need more stimulation than before.
