Male masturbators & strokers

Which male masturbator should I choose?

There are three main types. Manual strokers are simple sleeves in a case or held in the hand, and they are the easiest place to start. Vibrating strokers add motors for extra sensation, and many are rechargeable and waterproof. Automatic masturbators do the work for you, with thrusting, rotating or air-pulse motion, and some connect to an app or to interactive video.

The range includes Arcwave's premium Ion, Pow, Voy, Zing, Orbit and Thruster, Zolo's oral simulators, REV and Amovibe's automatic strokers, and compact sleeves from Me You Us and Goodhead. Our Arcwave page brings the whole Arcwave range together.

Open-ended, closed and pressure control

Open-ended strokers are easier to clean and suit every size, while closed-ended designs give more suction. Some models, like Arcwave Pow, let you adjust the pressure with a button or valve so you can change the feel during use. Textured inner channels with ridges, nubs and chambers vary a lot between models, so check the product description to see what is inside.

Automatic and thrusting strokers

If you want hands-free play, our thrusting toys include automatic strokers that move up and down on their own, and some rotate as well. Look at the settings, the run time and whether the sleeve is removable for cleaning before you choose.

Materials and lube

Most stroker sleeves are made from TPE or a similar soft, stretchy material, and some premium sleeves use silicone. These soft materials feel lifelike but are porous, so they need thorough cleaning and drying. Use a water-based lube, which is safe with every material, and reapply as you go.

Cleaning and drying your stroker

Rinse the sleeve with warm water straight after use, wash it with a toy cleaner, and let it dry completely before you put it away, ideally turned inside out or left open to the air. Damp sleeves can develop smells or mould. Our guide on how to clean a sex toy covers the basics, and you will find cleaners in douches and toy care.

Stroker questions

Which lube should I use with a stroker?

Use a water-based lube. It is safe with every sleeve material and easy to rinse out afterwards. Silicone lube is harder to clean from a textured channel and can damage silicone sleeves.

Can I use a stroker with a partner?

Yes. A partner can take control of a manual stroker, and many app-connected automatic strokers let a partner control the speed remotely or sync with interactive content.

How long does a stroker sleeve last?

With good care, a sleeve can last a long time. Clean it after every use, let it dry completely, and dust TPE sleeves with a renewing powder if the manufacturer recommends it. Replace the sleeve if it tears, becomes sticky or develops a smell that will not wash out.

Are automatic strokers loud?

Thrusting and rotating motors make more noise than a manual stroker. Check the product description for the motor type, and expect a gentle hum rather than silence.

Do I need a stroker with a case?

A hard case, like the ones on Arcwave and many automatic strokers, gives you something firm to hold and lets you control suction. Sleeves without a case are softer, more flexible and easier to squeeze for extra pressure. Both work well, so it comes down to how you like to hold it.
