Hands-Free Masturbators

What are hands-free masturbators?

A hands-free masturbator is a powered stroker that creates motion on its own. Inside a hard shell sits a soft sleeve; around it, motors stroke the sleeve up and down, squeeze it, spin it, pulse suction or vibrate, so you get continuous stimulation without moving your hand. Some are held loosely, some stand on a base or stick to a surface with a suction cup, and a few come on a mount. They are the most elaborate members of our masturbators and strokers family, built for people who want the toy to set the rhythm.

Types of hands-free masturbators

Automatic strokers

PDX Elite's Moto Stroker, Motorbator and Moto Bator X, the Zolo Lift Off thrusting stroker and the Lovense Gush move a sleeve up and down the shaft automatically. PDX Elite's suction strokers come in Pro and Pro XL versions for different fits. See more automatic masturbators.

Milkers

Milk Master, Lovebotz The Milker in Pro and Max editions, the Lovebotz Mini Handheld Milker and the PDX Elite Ultimate Milker, Mega Milker, Moto Milker and Milk Me Hotter combine stroking with rhythmic squeezing or suction for a pulling sensation. Many are rechargeable and several include a remote.

Suction and oral-style masturbators

Zolo's automatic sucking masturbator, the VeDO Savvy Hummer, PDX Elite's Suck-O-Matic, Hyper-Pulse and Dual Vibrating suction strokers and the Moto Blower focus on suction and mouth-style openings for an oral feel, and the Colt Mighty Mouth adds vibration to a mouth opening. Compare them with our oral masturbators.

Thrusting, rotating and multi-motion toys

Jock Helmet Humper gyrates and vibrates, Lovebotz Milker Max thrusts, PDX Elite Roto-Teazer rotates and Zolo's multi-function masturbator offers several modes with a remote. Pipedream's Mega-Bator line adds vaginal, mouth and anal openings on a rechargeable base, and the Kiiroo Keon combo set and Hot Octopuss Pulse Solo are interactive models.

Mounts, kits and accessories

The Main Squeeze suction cup accessory lets a compatible sleeve be stuck to a wall, Apollo's Power Strokers and Hydro Power Stroker offer a hands-light option, and Zero Tolerance's Girlfriend Experience rechargeable stroker is sold as a kit.

How to choose hands-free masturbators

These are bigger and pricier than hand strokers, so match the motion to what you enjoy.

• Primary motion: stroking, suction, thrusting, rotation or a combination. If you usually masturbate with a firm grip, start with a stroker; if you prefer oral sensations, look at suction models.
• Fit and opening: XL and Pro versions exist for larger sizes, and openings range from neutral to realistic mouth, vaginal and anal styles.
• Mounting: handheld toys can be braced against a pillow; suction cups, stands and mounts give true hands-free use.
• Power and control: most are rechargeable; a remote is handy when the toy is mounted out of reach.
• Noise and size: motors make noise and the shells are bulky, so think about where you will store and use it.

How to use and care for hands-free masturbators

Charge fully, apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant inside the sleeve and on yourself, and start on the slowest setting. Water-based lube suits the soft sleeve material and will not gum up the mechanism. Adjust angle and grip until the motion feels right, and stop if anything pinches or hurts.

• Remove the sleeve where possible and wash it with warm water and a toy cleaner; wipe the motorized shell with a damp cloth and keep it out of water.
• Dry the sleeve completely inside and out before reinserting it, so it does not develop odor or mildew.
• Dust sleeves with renewing powder if the maker recommends it.
• Store upright in a cool, dry place and keep the charging port covered.

Hands-free masturbators for solo play, couples and long sessions

Solo users get a toy that keeps going at a steady pace while you concentrate on the sensation. Couples can use a remote-controlled milker or stroker as a tease, with one partner controlling speed and pattern. Because the motion never tires, these toys suit edging and long sessions, but take breaks and reapply lubricant. If a full automatic unit is more than you need, the vibrating masturbators collection offers a simpler middle step.
