Sybian machines are expensive, which is why many people try to build their own. But making your own sex furniture can be risky if you lack experience with material safety, electronics, and assembly. Additionally, buying the necessary motorized parts and safety equipment can still be expensive, meaning that you may not save so much money.
Instead, we recommend buying a reliable and reasonably priced product, such as the Liberator BonBon, which is available for only $110 (even cheaper if you use discount code MSTG15 for 15% off!). However, if you cannot access online or physical sex shops where you live, we have compiled a list of some semi-safe options for making a DIY sybian machine that you can try at your own risk.
- We don’t recommend constructing your own Sybian sex machine due to the risks. It’s much safer and more advisable to invest in a commercially available, professionally designed, and tested sex machine for a better and safer sexual experience.
- But if you live in an area without online adult retailers or walk-in sex shops, relatively safe options include using sex chairs and pillows. Although they may not be as effective as a real machine, they’re your best bet to somehow mimic the experience.

What is a DIY Sybian Sex Machine?
A DIY Sybian is a homemade version of the popular saddle sex machine called the Sybian, which is designed for women to sit on while it provides stimulation to the clitoris and vagina. People typically make them using various materials, such as wood, PVC pipe, and 3D-printed parts. The basic design involves a motor that powers a vibrating mechanism attached to a platform or seat that the user sits on.
Note: The products in the image above are examples of commercial saddle machines, Liberator BonBon (left) and Motorbunny Buck (right) are the two most recommended products in our main Sybian article. If you want to read the full review, click here.
Building a Sybian machine requires extensive knowledge of electronics and woodworking. There are many online resources available that provide detailed instructions and plans for building one. Perhaps now you thinking- “how to build a Sybian?”, that actually is the wrong question, the correct one is- “is it safe?”
Is Making a Homemade Sybian Safe?
No. Building your own Sybian machine is not safe. The only way to make DIY Sybian somewhat safe is if the person has first-hand experience with woodworking, assembly, and material science. But not even then would it be as safe and reliable as a professionally tested product from a trusted brand like Motorbunny.
Like homemade sex machines, when trying to make a Sybian machine, the motor and speed control are two of the most critical parts of any Sybian. You should ensure that the motor you use is powerful enough to provide the desired level of vibration, but not so powerful that it becomes a safety hazard. The speed control and power should be precise and easy to use, allowing you to adjust the motor and vibration speed to your liking.
When it comes to the attachment, platform, and frame, it’s essential to use sturdy materials that can withstand the weight and movement of the user. The springs should also be strong enough to support the weight of the user without breaking or snapping.
Padding is also an important consideration when building one at home. You want to ensure that the user is comfortable and that there is enough cushioning to prevent injury.
Some Semi-Safe Ideas
We suggest using caution and common sense when trying any of these semi-safe ideas for building a Sybian:

1. Modifying a Regular Chair
The simplest design is putting a hole through a chair and adding a harness for a vibrator device or a vibrating dildo. The best guide we found for this specific type was from Redditor SubliminalDomino, which you can read below.
Materials used:
- 2×4 piece of wood
- 12-inch bolt, and
- Ring stand clamps
- Regular chair
Step-by-step guide:
- Run a 12-inch bolt through the 2×4 to create an attachment point for the vibrator or a vibrating dildo.
- Secure the toy to the bolt using ring stand clamps. (The clamps should be adjustable to fit any toy)
- Screw the 2×4 onto the bottom of the chair, making sure to use the right-sized screws.
- The setup allows for easy height and angle adjustment, with the ability to lock it down solid.

2. Using a Sex Chair
Another strategy is to use a sex chair. You can use any sex chair that has a flat surface. Place a cushion or pillow on the seat, then straddle the chair and use a vibrator or dildo to stimulate your clitoris or vagina.
But if you have the patience and resources, you can also build your own sex chair and incorporate the Sybian feature in the process. Let’s see how Redditor Ok_Hat_7187 did it:
Materials used:
- Sheet of 4’x8′ 1/2″ plywood
- Scrap 1″x2″
- An old piece of hose
- Nails and screws
- 2″x4″ lumber
- Hardboard
- Foam (1″ of “supermax” foam, 2″ of Lux-HQ foam, and 1″ of HD36-HQ foam)
- Dacron batting
- Duck cotton fabric
- Muslin cloth
- Velcro
- Eye bolts
Step-by-step guide:
- Survey commercially available sex chairs and their dimensions.
- Take measurements of yourself and your partner in various positions to determine the dimensions of the chair.
- Cut a sheet of 4’x8′ 1/2″ plywood to the finished length of the chair.
- Cut scrap 1″x2″ to use as guides for the contours of the chair and position them on the plywood.
- Use an old piece of hose to form the outline of the chair and nail it down to the plywood.
- Account for 4″ of foam before making any cuts.
- Use a jigsaw to cut out the first side and use a router with a flush cut bit to make an exact copy.
- Build a 2″x4″ frame for the bottom and screw the sides to it.
- Run 1″x2″ pieces of pine and scrap plywood between the sides to act as supports for the top.
- Cut a piece of hardboard to the correct width, force it to follow the contours of the top, and tack it into the supports.
- Glue 1″ layers of foam together and glue them to the chair.
- Glue Dacron batting to the foam and whip stitch the Dacron together where the top and sides meet.
- Sew the cover together using the “inside out” method.
- Attach a muslin inner cover and a removable duck cotton cover.
- Add velcro and eye bolts for bondage.

3. Sex Pillow & Thigh Harness
A sex pillow and thigh harnesses are a decent option with not so much assembly needed. With the right dildo, this setup can help you achieve better angles and deeper penetration. Let’s see how Reddit user LadyPseudonymia pulled this one off:
Materials used:
- Thigh harness
- Lumbar support pillow with a handy strap
- Cheap-O Velcro harness or leather thigh harness
- Dildo (Maverick and Johnny were used in this setup)
Step-by-step process:
- Use a thigh harness to hold a dildo as an alternative to a suction cup dildo.
- Get a sex pillow (a lumbar support pillow that is 5.5″ tall works as well)l with a handy strap underneath that can be attached to a towel or square pillow.
- Use a cheap Velcro harness to attach the dildo to the thigh, or use a leather thigh harness for better quality.
- Use the setup on a bed or anywhere with adequate knee support.

4. The Poor Man’s Sybian
No worries. This is not as bad as it sounds. But for this one. you’ll need some sort of casing, which could be a small chair or a foam roller with a hole (if consider yourself to weigh heavier, you might need a stronger casing to ride).
Ensure that the hole is big enough to accommodate the sex toy of your choice, so it can reach your vagina. We suggest using a wand vibrator (like the Magic Wand Rechargeable in the image below) because you don’t have to insert the entire head of the toy. Even if only the tip of the toy fits through the hole, it will still work effectively.
Pro tip: If you don’t have a wand vibrator, we have the closest alternatives that work incredibly well in our homemade tongue vibrator or homemade clit sucker. You just have to be creative with how you use them.
5. Your Partner
Sitting on top of your partner is by far the best Sybian alternative. Your partner can use their fingers, tongue, or sex toys to stimulate your genitals while you ride them. Doing so will not only improve your sex life but also help you save some money. Two birds with one stone!
Not Safe at All Ideas
The main concern with any type of homemade device is what they might do to your vagina. These experimental toys don’t have the precise parts needed, and not everyone can find a quality motor that controls speed and has a safety feature for users. Therefore, we strongly recommend avoiding any ideas such as:
Powerful motors and tools
A more powerful motor doesn’t equal more fun and stronger orgasms. Instead, it’s outright dangerous. Therefore, we don’t recommend the use of motorized devices and power tools for sexual pleasure, especially if they have a powerful motor.
If you desire vibration, it’s far safer to use a vibrator rather than attempting to build one on your own. But the better option is still buying the real deal as it has adequate power and has undergone the necessary test.
Unstable Devices
You must exercise caution when building a DIY Sybian or sex machine, especially when it comes to using untested materials. If you are unsure whether a material is safe to ride, it is best to err on the side of caution and not ride it at all. It’s of utmost importance to ensure that the machine is stable and secure before you sit on it to prevent any accidents or injuries rather than climax.
One way to test the stability of the machine is to observe how it moves and ensure it’s not loose or wobbly. It’s crucial to prioritize safety and not risk your genital health by using untested materials or being a “lab rat” for your experiments. Always trust your instincts and seek professional advice if you are unsure about the safety of any materials or components used in the machine.
How to Use a DIY Sybian?
If you have built your own DIY Sybian, congratulations! Now, it’s time to learn how to use it properly. In this section, we will cover the basics of operating your device, including how to adjust the vibrations and speeds, how to stimulate the G-spot, and how to control the rotation and thrusting.
Vibrations and Speeds
The first thing you need to do is adjust the vibrations and speed of your Sybian. Most machines use vibrating motors to create the sensation, and some may also use springs or hard springs to add more intensity. To adjust the vibration speed, you can use a speed controller or a magic wand to make things more fun. You can also adjust the RPM of the motor to increase or decrease the speed control intensity of the vibration.
G-Spot Stimulation
To stimulate the G-spot, you will need to use more options of penetrative attachment, such as a G-spot dildo or vibrator. Make sure to choose an attachment that is made of body-safe materials (Silicone only please!). Once you have attached the dildo or vibrator, adjust your riding angle and position and make sure the attachment targets the right spot. You can also use a wand to stimulate the clitoris while using the penetrative attachment.
Why Is it Better To Get A Commercial Product?
If you’re considering building a DIY Sybian, you might be wondering if it’s worth it to invest in the real thing. We’ve done our research and have determined that there are several reasons why it’s better to get the original Sybian machine instead of building one yourself. Let’s check them out:
Build of Quality
A well-designed sex machine is built to last. It’s made from durable materials and designed to withstand years of use. When you buy a real Sybian, you can be confident that you’re getting a product that has been rigorously tested and meets the highest standards of quality and safety.
The highest-rated Sybian sex machines we tested are all good investments. They are built with a belt system, smooth surface, and a strong motor inside to get the job done. Like the Motorbunny Buck in the image above, it has body-safe silicone attachments, an angle wedge to put the device in a doggy position, and a thrusting mechanism. You can read our complete Motorbunny Buck review here.
Attachments
Another benefit of getting a real Sybian is that it comes with a wide range of attachments specifically designed to provide different types of stimulation. These attachments are made from high-quality materials and are designed to fit perfectly with the machine. When you buy a commercial product, you’ll have access to a range of attachments that can provide a variety of sensations, from intense vibrations to gentle pulsations.
Versatility
A real product is designed to be easy to use and adjust. The controls are intuitive and easy to understand, and the machine itself is designed to be comfortable and ergonomic. When you use a real Sybian, you can be confident that you’re getting a product that has been designed for you to reach pleasure and orgasm.
If you don’t fancy the MotorBunny, Cowgirl riding sex machine is the next best option. This Sybian alternative features a unique 360° swivel rotation that makes clitoral stimulation more exciting. And though it only comes with two silicone attachments, the swivel action makes your riding experience thrilling. For versatility, this bad boy is damn near perfection!
Finally, a real Sybian comes with a warranty and customer support. If you have any issues with your Sybian, you can contact the manufacturer for assistance. When you buy a commercial product you can be confident that you’re getting a product that is backed by a company that cares about its customers and stands behind its products.
