Oral Masturbators

What are oral masturbators?

An oral masturbator is a stroker whose entrance is modelled on a mouth and whose inner channel mimics the feel of oral sex, with lips, a tongue texture and a narrowing throat section. Most are made from soft, stretchy materials that warm quickly, and several rechargeable models use silicone sleeves. They range from palm-sized sleeves to powered units that suck, vibrate, spin or thrust. Many double up, with a mouth at one end and a vagina or anus at the other. For every other style of sleeve, see masturbators and strokers.

Types of oral masturbators

Compact mouth strokers

Pocket Pals, Stroke It, Pipedream Extreme, Xkin and the Doc Johnson Super Sucker Ultraskyn strokers are small, soft and inexpensive. GoodHead's Helping Head sleeves and flavoured stroker sets sit in the same bracket, and Sue Johanson's Head Honcho is a long-running favourite. They are easy to grip, quick to rinse and a sensible first purchase.

Dual-ended strokers

Delite Two Ways, the Selopa party pack and dual-entry designs from PDX Elite, EnLust and NS Novelties offer a mouth at one end and a vagina or anus at the other, so one toy gives two textures.

Vibrating and sucking strokers

The PDX Elite vibrating mouth masturbator with bullet, Mistress and Hustler vibrating mouth strokers, Jock's sucking and vibrating range and The Male Rose sucking masturbator add a motor or suction to the mouth sleeve. Zero Tolerance's rechargeable sucking models and ZOLO's Gawk Gawk deep throat designs sit at the top of this group. Compare the wider suction masturbators and vibrating masturbators ranges.

Automatic rotating and thrusting units

The Renegade Avenger, Honey Play Box Blanche, ZOLO's automatic sucking units and Jock's spinning, thrusting and gyrating masturbators do the stroking for you with rechargeable motors and multiple patterns. See automatic masturbators for more.

Interactive and fantasy strokers

Kiiroo's Feel mouth stroker syncs with interactive content, Zero Tolerance pairs realistic mouth strokers with a movie download, and Creature Cocks' Dragon Tamer brings a fantasy twist to the silicone oral stroker.

How to choose an oral masturbator

Balance how realistic you want the experience to feel against how much cleaning and storage you are willing to do.

• Size: Compact strokers are discreet and quick to clean; larger rechargeable units need a drawer of their own.
• Openings: A dual-ended stroker gives two sensations for the price of one; a dedicated mouth is more focused.
• Power: Vibration adds buzz, suction mimics the pull of a real mouth, and rotating or thrusting units are hands-free.
• Material: Soft stretchy sleeves feel most realistic; silicone sleeves on rechargeable models last longer and clean more easily.
• Noise and charging: Automatic units are louder and need charging; manual strokers never run out.

How to use and care for oral masturbators

Warm the sleeve in your hands or in warm water, add plenty of water-based lubricant inside and on yourself, and start slowly so the throat section does not feel too tight. Oil and silicone lubricants can degrade soft sleeves.

• Rinse the channel with warm water after every use, work a little mild soap or toy cleaner through it and rinse again; turn open-ended sleeves inside out.
• Dry fully before storing, since trapped moisture is the main cause of sleeve damage.
• Dust soft sleeves with renewing powder once dry to keep them from going tacky.
• Keep motors and charging ports dry and remove any bullet before washing.

Oral masturbators for beginners and upgrades

If you are new to strokers, start with a compact mouth or dual-ended sleeve, then move to a vibrating or sucking model once you know what you like. Shoppers chasing realism and size should look at the torso and full-size masturbators collection, where sculpted bodies take the idea further than a hand-held mouth.
