You probably came here searching for information on making a homemade tongue vibrator but we strongly discourage building your own because of the many risks. Instead, we recommend buying a reasonably priced product like The Scioness, which you can buy for just $68.99. However, for those who still insist on exploring the realm of DIY tongue stimulators at their own risk, we’ve provided some semi-safe options below.
- Making a vibrating tongue toy is not something we recommend. It’s far better to invest in a store-bought product that has undergone extensive testing to comply with the many safety standards.
- If you still want to venture into DIY territory, there are some semi-safe options, such as using a silicone brush, an electric toothbrush, or an electric shaver. We talk more about these options below.

What are Homemade Tongue Vibrators?
Homemade tongue toys are sex toys that people make from household items or objects bought from a hardware store. The main goal is to replicate the sensation of oral sex by finding objects that feel like a tongue, and the reasons for making them are primarily to save money or customize them to someone’s exact needs.
Note: The product above is the Fun Factory Volta. It was a tough competition but we picked this bad boy as the highest-rated tongue vibrator. Out testers loved the powerful motor and the unique flickering tongue, making it ideal for stimulating different body parts, including the clitoris, inner thighs, and nipples. You can read our full Fun Factory Volta review here.
A makeshift tongue vibrator can be made using a range of materials found around the house or at the hardware store, like bristles or other devices that generate vibrations to mimic the actions of a human tongue. It typically features a small, vibrating head shaped like a tongue and can be used to provide targeted stimulation to the clitoris.
Is Making a DIY Tongue Toy Safe?
No. While it sounds easy to hack together a homemade tongue toy using household items, you shouldn’t do it because of the risks it brings. Building a faulty device can cause irritation, discomfort, or even injury no matter how foolproof it looks to you. You just can’t trust it, especially with your genitalia.
Some Semi-Safe Ideas
If you fall under the category of people who have no access to physical sex toy shops, we just want to make it clear that the below methods are not 100% safe and always carry some risks. We recommend taking precautions and using common sense when building and using your homemade pleasure products.
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. Silicone Brush
One option is to use a silicone face brush. Most women have these brushes and they are typically used for exfoliating and cleansing the face, but with some tricks, you can also use them as a tongue-like toy.
First, thoroughly clean the brush before and after use. We also recommend covering it with a condom for added safety. If you have a sensitive clit, it’s best not to directly stimulate it with the bristles as it can easily turn pleasure into pain. Instead, focus on the surrounding tissue areas.
The above product is the Red Hot Flickering. If you’re a beginner, this device is spot on as it’s both affordable and easy to use. I know it’s tempting to jump to the big guns, but tread lightly, starting with a good foundation will always be the best call when it comes to sex toys.
2. Paint Brush
Another option is to use a clean paintbrush (with an emphasis on clean). We recommend looking for a brush with soft bristles and a handle that’s comfortable to hold. The trick here is to use the bristles to mimic the sensation of a tongue. Again, the same with the silicone brush hack, make sure to clean the brush before and after use, and cover it with a condom tied with a rubber band.
3. Electric Toothbrush
An electric toothbrush is a commonly DIY tongue vibrating toy as it’s something most people have. Please select a model with soft bristles, clean it meticulously, and cover it with a condom. You can use the vibrating head to stimulate your clitoris, nipples, or other sensitive areas. Tallyho(e)!
If you’re interested in exploring other uses for an electric toothbrush, please read our guide on how to use it as an anal dildo right here.
4. Electric Shaver
An electric shaver offers a decent way to mimic oral sex but you must remove the razor head before using it for pleasure. For added protection and a more tongue-like stimulation, you can also experiment with a blending sponge to cushion the vibrations and produce some sort of sucking sensation. More on using an electric shaver as a homemade clit sucker here.
5. Clone-A-Willy
When you’ve exhausted all other options, it’s time to embrace your crafty side and create your silicone toy using the Clone-A-Willy kit, the best option in our humble opinion. These kits provide everything you need to craft a replica of your partner’s penis with the added perk of vibration (separate vibrating unit). Although this choice may be pricier and more time-consuming, it’s also by far the safest option.

Not Safe at All Ideas
Like yang to every yin, there are always unsafe ideas after the good ones. So here are some totally not safe ideas you should avoid at all costs to save yourself a visit to the emergency room (ouch!):
Not Using Protection
Any device that imitates oral sex or produces vibrations must always be used with some form of protective barrier. Neglecting this essential step can result in too much-concentrated sensation, leading to discomfort or even pain.
A condom also protects you from all those nasty germs that live on the surface material (yuck!)
Anything That Could Cause Allergic Reactions
Some materials can cause allergic reactions or irritation when they come into contact with skin or mucous membranes, for example, certain types of rubber or latex, as well as some metals. The same applies to the use of menthol or homemade pussy pumps, they are unstable options that easily irritate the skin on your genitals. If you’re not sure whether a material is safe to use, it’s better to err on the side of caution and buy a product from a trusted brand.
Devices That Conduct Electricity
Using anything that conducts electricity, such as metal objects, is a bad idea. This can cause serious injury or even death if the current is strong enough. Avoid anything that could create an electrical current, including batteries or other electrical components. Just don’t.
How to Use DIY Tongue Vibrators?
When it comes to using a DIY tongue sex toy, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure a pleasurable experience. Here are some tips:
- Start Slow: Begin by using your toy on a low setting and gradually increase the intensity as desired (this only applies to those that produce vibrations). This will allow your body to adjust to the sensation and prevent overstimulation.
- Experiment with Different Techniques: Try using it in different ways, such as a circular motion, flicking, or tracing the vulva. This will help you find what feels best for you. You can also take breaks and do manual stimulation with your fingers.
- Use Lube: Applying a water-based lubricant to the tip can enhance the sensation and make it more comfortable to use.
- Focus on Sensitive Areas: Don’t hesitate to experiment and stimulate various parts of the body, including the clitoris, inner thighs, breasts, and nipples. Focus on the areas that feel most sensitive and pleasurable for you.
If you need further instruction, perhaps our guide on how to use tongue vibrators might help. Just remember that it works best for the real ones and might not be that effective if you’re using a homemade device.
Why Is it Better To Buy Commercial Products?
Homemade tongue vibrators may seem like a cheap and easy alternative to real products, but there are several reasons why it’s better to invest in quality tongue vibrators instead. Let’s check them out:
Effectiveness
Real tongue vibrators are designed for sexual pleasure, such as having body-safe materials, many vibration settings, and are shaped to mimic the sensation of a real tongue. Homemade tongue vibrators, on the other hand, will never be that effective in terms of providing pleasure. They aren’t meant to be used for sexual purposes to begin with so it’s their subpar quality is not surprising.
Note: The product above is Womanizer Premium 2. Crowned as our test team’s favorite clit sucking vibrator, it has 14 intensity settings, allowing people with different experience levels to enjoy the toy. You can read our Womanizer Premium 2 review here.
Longevity
Authentic vibrators are more durable and long-lasting. Homemade tongue vibrators are often made with materials that can break easily, and may not be able to withstand the pressure and friction of regular use. A real product, on the other hand, is made to last and can provide reliable pleasure for years to come because they are easy to clean, store, and maintain. They also come with a warranty and return policy.
This is possible because of how they are built, if they come from trusted manufacturers, you can expect that whatever you buy will always be a better investment than any toy from household objects. You can read our guide on how to clean your sex toy and some aftercare tips to help them keep their near-mint condition.
Versatility
Do you want something that has a wider range of options? There are many different types of tongue vibrators available, from ones that are designed for clitoral stimulation to ones that are designed for anal play. With a real device, you can experiment with different settings and find the perfect one for your unique preferences.
What else speaks versatility than a dual-ended tongue vibrator? Unlike a regular clit suction toy, the Womanizer Duo 2 above features an elongated mini-shaft for G-spot massage. The best part? The vaginal stimulating arm vibrates for intense and precise stimulation!
