In general, we don’t recommend making homemade sex toys due to the many risks involved. It’s always better to buy an affordable commercial product like THRUST Pro Mini Ella, which costs less than $20 (full review here).
The only reason to make a homemade Onahole is if you live in an area without online adult retailers or walk-in sex shops. If you’re one of those, you can find some ideas below. But you do it at your own risk!
- Making your own Onahole using unsafe materials can introduce considerable hazards and discomfort. Opting for professionally designed and thoroughly tested male sex toys ensures a higher level of safety and guarantees a more pleasurable experience.
- If you still want to create your own, there are some semi-safe options, like fruits, vegetables, towels, toilet paper, or balloons. We discuss each option in length below.

What is a Homemade Onahole?
A homemade Onahole is a Japanese homemade pocket pussy designed to simulate the sensation of sexual intercourse with an Asian woman. It’s typically created using various materials found at home or in the local hardware store, such as sponges, rubber bands, latex gloves, socks, and even Pringles cans with a small towel. The primary reason people make these DIY toys is to save cash or to customize them to their exact needs.
Note: The product in the image above is an example of a well-built Onahole from a trusted manufacturer. It’s called Zhang Xiao Yu and got the highest rating in our best Onahole article. If you’re interested, you can read the full review here.
Are DIY Onaholes Safe?
No, DIY Onaholes are not safe unless built by a material scientist or an expert in human anatomy. We at My Sex Toy Guide really care about our reader’s well-being so we always recommend buying a branded product to minimize the risk of things going south. Here are just a few reasons why going the DIY route is a bad idea:
- Materials: Some materials have harmful effects on the human body, particularly when they come into contact with sensitive areas. It is highly recommended to only use safe and non-toxic materials such as silicone or TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) when crafting your sleeve.
- Sanitation: Maintaining cleanliness is of utmost importance to minimize infection risk of infections. This means cleaning it thoroughly both before and after each use. By doing so, you effectively eliminate any potential bacteria or germs that may cause harm. Additionally, it’s crucial to avoid sharing your creations with others to avoid the transmission of infections or other health-related concerns. Common sense rules!
- Safety: You must carefully plan your design to ensure safety and usability. You must avoid anything with sharp edges or protrusions that could potentially lead to injuries or discomfort during use. Instead, create a design that’s smooth, comfortable, and user-friendly to any penis size to enhance your overall experience while minimizing the risk of unwanted incidents.
Some Semi-Safe Sex Toy Ideas
I know. We promised some decent options for those who want to give it a go. So, here are some semi-safe ideas for homemade onaholes that you can try at your own risk:
Note: Any action you take upon the information on this website is strictly at your own risk. Please read our Terms of Service to learn more.
1. Rolled Towel Onahole (Fifi)
Onaholes made from rolled towels are easy to make and pretty safe if you use a protection barrier and a condom. You need a towel, a glove, a toothpaste tube (or anything cylindrical), and rubber bands for the first method.
- First, I took a towel from the bathroom and then folded it in half in a lengthwise manner.
- Then, I put the toothpaste tube inside a glove and carefully placed it on one end of the towel. Important: make sure the glove’s cuff is overhanging the folded edge of your towel.
- Now, slowly roll the towel with the toothpaste and glove inside.
- After rolling it twice, fold the edge of the glove’s cuff back around your towel. The cuff should hold the towel in place as you continue to roll until you finally reach the end.
- After rolling, gently pull out the tube of toothpaste.
- To keep the shape in place, secure it with two rubber bands.
- Apply as much lube as you want on your cock and start playing!
To make it easier for you to make it, we have summarized the instructions in our excellent educational YouTube video below. Please check it out!
2. Folded Towel Fleshlight
The folded towel method is also quite easy to make. To make this homemade Onahole you need a towel, a latex glove, and a rubber band.
- First, take the towel, fold it in a narrow half, and place the glove on one end with the cuff hanging out slightly.
- Then, make another fold making the two narrow ends meet, sandwiching the latex glove.
- Next, take the cuff of the latex glove, stretch it, and let it fit over the ends of the towel.
- Finally, secure the parts with a band to make them tight and sturdy.
- Lo and behold, you now have your homemade Fleshlight!

3. Sock Onahole
Spoiler Alert! The sock method is my favorite and is the best DIY option, in my humble opinion! The good news: you only need three pairs of socks, a latex glove, and a rubber band to make this one. Let’s check out the step-by-step instructions!
- Stack two pairs of socks and lay them beside each other.
- Carefully fold each pair starting from the toes and put them down with the fold underneath.
- Lay the glove on top of one pair of socks.
- Be sure that the cuff is sticking out approximately one to two inches.
- Put another pair on top, with the glove sandwiched in between them.
- Wrap the glove’s cuff over the socks’ ends.
- Take the third pair of socks and slowly wrap them around the center of your sock and glove sandwich.
- At the same time, adjust the tightness.
- Finally, tie the ends with the band.
- Lube up and enjoy!
Pro Tip: Wedge it under the bed mattress or between some couch cushions for a fun hands-free experience.

4. Party Balloon
Surprise! You can actually create a decent sleeve using a party balloon. It sounds crazy, but here’s how it works: First, apply lotion or lubricant inside the balloon to enhance the sensation. Then, stretch the balloon over a sturdy object like a cardboard tube or any other item that can provide support. Be careful not to overinflate the balloon; a small amount of air is sufficient. Ensure that the four balloons fit comfortably inside the container without making the central hole too tight.
If necessary, adjust the air levels in the balloons to achieve the desired width and tightness. To secure the balloons, use duct tape to fasten them to the edges of the container, covering the knots to keep everything in place during use. Now, carefully insert your fingers through the center of the balloons and pull the cuff of a latex glove over the edges and around the opening. This will provide a soft and comfortable entry point for a more enjoyable experience. Finally, apply lubrication generously and stretch the glove to enhance the glide and pleasure. Voila!
5. Toilet Paper Onahole
Toilet paper offers a simple, cheap, and readily available solution for a DIY Onahole. To get started, grab an empty toilet paper roll (let’s be environmentally conscious and not waste toilet paper just for this purpose) and carefully carve a hole in the center of one end. For an extra layer of sensation, you can line the interior of the toilet paper roll with bubble wrap or latex gloves.
The bubble wrap adds delightful texture, while the sleekness of rubber or latex gloves intensifies the overall stimulation. Happy humping, folks!
6. Potato Starch
Mix potato starch with water to create a paste, then pour the paste into a container and let it dry. Once dry, remove it from the container and cut a hole in the center. Apply some lubrication and insert your penis inside the hole. This can create a realistic feeling, but be careful not to use too much potato starch, as it can cause irritation.
7. Pringles or Lays Onahole
Start by emptying a Pringles or Lays can by eating the chips (the latter being my preferred method). Then, take a small towel or sponge and wrap it around the can, securing it in place with some rubber band. Next, cut a hole in the center of a soft sponge (using a latex glove works as well). Apply a generous amount of lube inside the can and to both the sponge. Carefully insert your penis into the hole of the sponge, allowing it to slide into the can. It will appear like a homemade penis sleeve but serves a different purpose.
This DIY setup can provide a realistic sensation during masturbation, but it’s important to exercise caution. Avoid using rough sponges, also avoid getting direct contact with the rubber band as it can cause discomfort or irritation. Additionally, ensure that the can is wide enough to accommodate your penis comfortably, as using a too narrow container can lead to discomfort.
Remember to apply lubrication generously for a smoother and more pleasurable experience. Lubrication helps reduce friction and enhances the sensation. By taking these precautions and being mindful of your comfort and safety, you can enjoy a homemade masturbator that offers a realistic feel while ensuring your well-being.
8. Pool Noodle
The pool noodle method involves using a section of a pool noodle for the makeshift canal. All you need to do is cut a hole in the center of the noodle and use plenty of lubrication. Now it’s ready to go!
Please pick a pool noodle that’s not too rough, as it could lead to discomfort or irritation. By selecting a pool noodle with a suitable texture, you can maximize both comfort and pleasure during your intimate moments.
9. Stuff Toys
A stuffed animal or a plush toy and cut a hole in the center, insert a latex glove or plastic bag to make the cleanup easier, then apply some lubrication in the glove opening and insert your penis. This whole setup sounds weird, but hear me out. It can create a realistic feeling if done correctly. Pro Tip: Don’t use a stuffed animal that’s too rough, as it can cause irritation.
Remember to always use lubrication and to clean your sex toy thoroughly after each use. Use soft materials that won’t cause harm to your penis. These are temporary solutions and should not be used as a long-term substitute for a real Onahole. Be creative and have fun.
Not Safe at All Ideas
We don’t recommend trying the below ideas as they can be dangerous and harmful. It’s all common sense but it’s worth repeating just in case:
Using Harmful Materials
We strongly advise against using unsafe materials and chemicals, for example, a toothpaste tube. These products are not intended for sexual use and may contain ingredients that can cause discomfort, irritation, or even adverse reactions when in contact with sensitive skin or mucous membranes. Also, toothpaste can be challenging to clean, and the chemicals in toothpaste may not be suitable for internal use.
Unsafe Structures
Using unsafe structures for your toys can also be dangerous. Please don’t use any materials that can easily break, shatter, or cause injury. Instead, use sturdy and durable materials that can withstand pressure and friction. We want a safe humping experience, don’t we?
How to Use a Homemade Onahole?
Using a homemade Onahole is almost the same as using homemade sex dolls. If you don’t have time to read that article (it’s quite long, I know) here are the steps in a summarized fashion:
- Lubrication: You need to apply a generous amount of lubricant to the orifice opening, your penis, and the inside of the toy. This will help to reduce friction and make the experience more enjoyable.
- Insertion: Once the toy is lubricated, you can insert your penis into the opening. You should take your time and go slowly, making sure not to force your way inside the orifice. It should feel snug, but not too tight.
- Stimulation: Once you are inside, you can start to move your penis back and forth. You can use your hands to hold the case in place or place it between pillows or cushions for a more hands-free experience. You can also experiment with different speeds and angles to find what feels best for you. Rotating the toy or focusing on just the penis tip also creates novel sensations.
- Cleaning: You must clean it thoroughly both before and after use to prevent bacteria or germs from growing. You can rinse it with warm water and mild soap, or use a specialized toy cleaner. You should also dry it completely before storing it away.
You can find more information in our in-depth guide on how to use an onahole.
Why Is it Better To Get A Real Onahole?
While making an at-home Onahole may seem like a cheap and easy option, it’s important to consider the downsides. Here are a few reasons why it’s better to get high-quality male masturbators plus some options you can buy:
1. Hygiene and Safety
When it comes to hygiene and safety, homemade onaholes lack the necessary considerations. The materials may have tiny pores, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and other potentially harmful microorganisms. Furthermore, DIY alternatives don’t undergo proper sanitation procedures, increasing the risk of infections and health complications.
Note: The product above is the Ereshkigal Cherry. It has a lovely vagina and anus with stimulating texture, highly realistic dimples and skin creases, and excellent suction in both orifices. It’s also made from TPE, which is one tier lower than silicone but still a great material for a male sex toy.
In contrast, professionally manufactured Onaholes prioritize your well-being by being built from body-safe materials designed for easy cleaning and disinfection.
2. Build Quality, Realism, and Durability
Of course, you want them real right? A home made Onahole may not provide the same level of realism as a branded model. Further, they may not be able to withstand repeated use, which means they may break or tear easily. Additionally, the homemade version may not be able to provide the same level of stimulation as a commercial product, which could lead to a less satisfying experience overall. Look how perky the Holy Sister Oppai boobs are below, now that’s quality right there.
3. Variety and Customization
Authentic Onaholes offer a diverse array of shapes, sizes, and textures, allowing you to discover the ideal fit for your personal preferences. Moreover, the Japanese manufacturers use customizable attributes like adjustable suction or vibration modes. In contrast, homemade versions cannot provide the same level of individualization and assortment, limiting your options for a truly tailored experience.
The image below shows a mouth variation, it’s called La Bocca Della Verita. If it piqued your interest, you can read our full Magic Eyes La Bocca Della Verita review here.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the advantages of making homemade sex toys?
Making Onahole or Japanese pocket pussy has its advantages. It can save you money compared to buying a commercial model and you can customize it to your preference, such as size, shape, and texture. It can also be a fun DIY project that you can do alone or with a partner. If you want more DIY projects, make sure to check out our homemade penis pump guide.
Homemade Onahole vs homemade pocket pussy & Fleshlight
Homemade Onahole, Fleshlight, and pocket pussy are all DIY sex toys that you can make at home. You can’t tell the difference between them as they typically are made out of the same items with just a few caveats. But once you get hold of a real Fleshlight beside a real Onahole, it’s easy to differentiate one pair from another. The often key difference is that most Fleshlights are typically made of a hard plastic case with a soft, realistic sleeve inside compared to pocket pussies and onaholes that are commonly softer overall.
