Promising reviews: "I know there are better out there. But when you feel this thing on you, one might think they landed right on the money. And money-wise this is a great purchase. Rather then spending a ton of money on a Fleshlight you can just purchase this. It's tight and it feels like it's fighting back every time you insert your member. It's also a nice size which makes it usable by any. Just make sure you have lots of lube ready. The quality of it is good and the chassis holding it also has a nice design. You could take the silicone sleeve out of the case too for a more fun experience. The bottom has a removable cap which makes it super convenient for easy cleanups." —Kay

"WARNING: This thing will make your toes do gang signs. I was skeptical, read all the reviews, and pulled the trigger. I’m telling you, if this thing was warm, with lube it would be identical to the real thing." —Juan Disimo

Promising review: "This product is absolutely amazing!!! Super soft, flexible, and realistic. Colors are VIBRANT, and this comes with cute little lube packets. I LOVE that it has its own little bag for storage. Quality is absolutely amazing for the price, super affordable. Realistic showing the veins and texture on the balls!!! I’m so in love. 🥰" —Robert Reeves

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in rainbow and flesh tone).

There's also a more in-depth review written by an intersex male person, if you're interested.

Promising reviews: "There aren't many reviews on here from trans men, so I thought I'd throw my opinion out there in case there are other guys out there looking for something to spice things up. This toy is heavenly. It works well on many different parts of the body, and I have had fun exploring different places to try it: clitoris, nipples, etc. I love the simplicity of the vibration settings. You can turn the vibration up one level at a time, making it easy to build up to a climax slowly, or you can jump up multiple levels and get things done quickly, if that's your thing. I am so glad I bought this toy, and when this one finally dies I will buy another one. I've had it for a couple of months and it's held up great. 12/10 seriously recommend this product for anybody with a clitoris. You will NOT regret it." —a. b.

"Before this toy aka bae, I was a hoe. I've taken the steps to admit it and do something about it. Today, I can proudly say bae has cured me of my hoe-ly ways. This is the equivalent of the best head you ever had from somebody and taking that person's mouth home with you. Idk about you but I related heavily when Drake said 'I just want sum head in a comfortable bed, it could all be so simple.' 😍🥰 Life Is Good." —Dominique

Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in three colors).

Promising reviews: "I was looking for an angled glass toy to perfectly stimulate my G-spot, and I got it right on the first shot by purchasing this toy! This toy makes me squirt and come so fast and like never before. My boyfriend used it on me, and I had the best orgasm of my life! So, so pleased with this purchase. The ribbed end is also great for anal stimulation. It’s multipurpose and amazing!" —B.K.

"One of my absolute favorites. I bought this years ago, and it's never failed me yet. The amount of fun I have with this is positively indecent. The size is great! One side is bumpy and feels amazing! The other has a bulb and then is a smooth shaft until the 'handle.' Both are great to use. The bumpy side feels amazing on the inside while the bulb side really hits the spot! Since it's glass, it really changes temperature. Place it in some ice or warm water and enjoy! Since it's glass, it's been one of the easiest things for me to clean! It will be stiff, but I don't think that detracts from the experience one bit! Overall, one of my best buys in this category." —Bree

Promising reviews: "Feels amazing going in and even better once it’s turned on, the vibrations are enough to hit that special spot and leave you begging for more!" —Anonymous

"If you’re looking for a product to send shockwaves through your body, this is it! This toy will keep you excited and pleasured for hours. Try it with your partner or enjoyed by yourself. You will not be disappointed!" —Jerome Monegan

There's a little bump at the top for an even more stimulating touch to the base of your tip, and ridges on the inside so that every movement offers stimulation.

I don't have a penis, but this looks incredible, and I want it.

Promising reviews: "Where to start??? This has brought so much more spice into the bedroom. My bf was a bit scared at first, but this has changed our sex life big time!!! It’s a must, I don’t use it often, but I love it and so does my bf." —Denise S.

"A fantastic masturbation product. All frequencies have a lot to offer. The frenulum tickler is the big plus. This product can make me come in seconds." —Dale

Get it from Amazon for $23.99.

Promising reviews: "It feels incredible and has multiple settings you can try. There is a strong suction but I really like the tongue part. It's seriously almost, if not better, than the real thing. 👅" —Rosemary

"I decided to give this a try after not being satisfied with some of the other 'popular' toys and man I'm mad I even wasted money on anything else. I'm very big on oral stimulation and this gets the job done. The tongue is soft and big enough to feel like the real thing but not too rough even on higher speeds, as I've experienced with some other toys in the past. The suction is pleasant but strong so be careful lol. It's easy to clean and the battery life LASTS! I misplaced my charger and it lasted months on a single charge. Of course this will vary depending on how long and often you use it, but in my case I didn't need prolonged sessions cause it was effective quite quickly. If you are debating on trying, just go with it. You will not be disappointed." —Monique Wiggins

Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in green and pink).

This one has a suction base for hands-free play and a tapered design for easy insertion. Oh, can't neglect to mention that this dildo weighs 1.1 pounds, so you're definitely going to feel it.

Promising reviews: "This product is more or less a cheaper variant of Ika from Bad Dragon, and I've fallen in love with it, It's so worth the money you spend on it, however, I'd say it's more on the intermediate level, rather than beginners." —CM

"Let me tell you in just two months that thing has changed our rear entry adventure entirely. My goal was just to take my husband comfortably, and this definitely achieves that. The suction is quite strong. He can even suction it to his body and use it on me. It makes the best mac and cheese sounds. The weight of it is nice. The texture is amazing. It has become a favorite toy. If you're considering it, just buy it. It's worth it." —NK

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in four colors).

Choose your favorite: the seductive spiral, the narrow bulbs, or the classic graduated bulbs. Convenient retrieval loops offer easy removal, although they don't vibrate.

Promising review: "These were great for my entry into anal play, I think the material and size were great with not having much experience. The purple one felt incredible for both my partner and I when he was penetrating me vaginally at the same time. All in all led to a very fun night." —Paige

Get it from Amazon for $25.95 (available in pink/purple and black).

One end measures 1 inch wide and the other measures 1.5 inches wide. Altogether, this sex toy weighs about 1.5 pounds.

Promising review: "Okay, so normally I wouldn’t write a review for something like this, mostly out of embarrassment. But truthfully this thing is pretty amazing. I never knew what a prostate massage was, and when I learned about it, I thought it sounded incredibly painful. It’s not. It does take some time to get used to, and if you’re like me, it takes braving through actually trying it once. When I first received it I almost returned it without even trying it because I was so confused and unsure about using it. Since it’s cheap enough to buy, I figured I’d try it once and if I hated it, I’d just toss it out. Well, after several tries, though I still haven’t had a P-orgasm, I find this incredibly satisfying and intensifies regular orgasms quite a bit. So yeah, highly recommended if you are looking to ‘expand’ your orgasms." —Reginald Cape

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

Promising reviews: "This is one of the best massagers that I have ever purchased! It has 20 different patterns and eight vibration settings. The eighth one is just perfect! Everyone should purchase one of these for their 'sore muscles.' Not to mention, customer service is amazing and if there is ever an issue you can contact them and they will send a replacement! Strength: 10/10. 'Pain' relief: 1000/10 ;) Customer service: 10000/10." —Ashley

"BRO. CHEAP. AFFORDABLE, WORTH THE WAIT. Don’t listen to the bad reviews this thing is amazing, had my toes curled and legs shaking on contact, you won’t regret it." —Carson Moore

Get it from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in six colors).

This 6.9-inch dildo offers just over 5 inches of insertable length above its realistic balls and is 1.81 inches wide.

Promising reviews: "This toy is great! As my first dildo, it’s definitely a great starter. And the prostate orgasm you get from this thing is AMAZING!!! I don’t know if it was the ribs on the toy or just how fast I was going, but it definitely does not disappoint. Even though it is a bit small for my hole now, it is still amazing!" —Venus

"Loved it! The ridges are amazing to rub on your clit to warm you up first, and then it's the perfect mixture of soft but firm with the ridges that makes for a quick and amazing time. The suction is great, too." —christine bragg

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in ten colors and two sizes).

The silicone ring stretches to fit a variety of penises (or dildos), and the vibrator has five speeds and patterns for up to 25 varying intensities.

Promising reviews: "This is a fun and enjoyable little toy! It's very well made. I like the smooth silicone surface that's soft, durable and easy to clean. The battery life is excellent. I've had this guy for maybe a year and used it several times before needing to plug it in to recharge. The multiple settings between modes and power levels offer so much flexibility in use depending on the mood, and what stage of 'business' you're at. ;) This an overall great toy that can really add something different and exciting to your love life at a very affordable price. Highly recommend it!" —metalrover

"Vibration doesn't do a lot for me, generally. But this little gadget hits JUST the right spot for her. Some reviewers recommend girl-on-top; but I find that distracting, as it presses the vibrating portion up against me. Rather, we think it works best from behind: either with me standing behind her, or 'spooning' on the bed. (I put it on 'upside down,' with the nubby 'business' side of the vibrating portion facing up and in toward her.) On the medium setting, she climaxes very quickly. (And keeps going!) And if I don't put it on, she will ask for it — which is a bit bolder than she'd normally be, so that should tell you something. A very good purchase, and highly recommended." —Stephen Jones

Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

This dildo is literally almost too large to fit into the frame?????? *adds to cart*

Promising reviews: "Nearly too big... but now I'm craving even BIGGER! Feels AMAZING! It has a huge width toward the tip, but I love that because it stays inside me better. Not to mention the orgasms! LOL, BUY this!" —Sabrina

"Let me start by saying it’s big and meaty. I’m 5”11, and it’s as long as my forearm, wrist to elbow. But amazing, and for those like me who might find it a tight fit, a little water-based lube goes a long way. A couple of minutes had me shaking, might be my best purchase ever!!" —Lyn'

Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

Promising reviews: "Was unsure how well this toy would work... Most incredible stimulating toy I have ever bought! Very strong motors, serious thrust, and incredible vibrating. It feels like the real thing! I enjoy it immensely! Easy to clean and the remote is very easy to use. Charge lasts for a long time. Would highly recommend — it almost makes hook-ups unnecessary." —jack clopein

"Nice size — it’s giving boyfriend dick. Really mixed my guts; the vibration on the gooch part is really nice and smooth. If you’re worried about the c-ring part, it’s very stretchy and not tight at all, very comfortable to use. Only gripe is that it comes out easily, but that’s a plus when you’re finished. Can’t wait to use it with my partner." —Ikenna

Get it from Amazon for $39.66+ (available in four styles).

Promising review: "I'm a trans man who has been on testosterone for 10 months. I haven't had too much clitoral growth associated with testosterone so I was worried about the hole being too large for me to fit in, but it works really well! I definitely encourage buying this product." —H.d.H

"I absolutely loved this with lube. It is so squishy and soft it almost felt like my girlfriend was deep throating me even though she wasn't. It's easy to clean and its material is pretty durable. Feels great and a great masturbation aid too other than just using it for getting BJ's with it. 10/10" —Antonio R.

Get it from Amazon for $10.20.

Promising reviews: "Amazing!!!! This product was incredible at helping me...relieve my stress. ;) It’s the perfect length and girth for the particular trans woman, and I would recommend it for any orientation or gender. It has been and will be a staple of mine for a long, long time." —Jae

"This is absolutely the best non-vibrating toy. There is no bad smell from it, not even fresh out of the package. The material is super soft and smooth to the touch. While the rim at the tip and the veiny shaft gives it a nice texture that feels f***in' amazing (pun intended). The very strong suction cup works well. It has stuck to every smooth surface I have tried to so far. It also works really well in a harness. ;) The best part is that it glows in the dark. However, I highly recommend that if you don't have a blacklight, you might want to get one. It does charge in regular light, but hold it in front of a blacklight for 20 to 30 seconds, and it's play time. So strap on and turn off the lights and play a game of hide and seek. LOL, thanks for reading and hope it helps." —Sixty9ingmonkies
