Despite Google searches for the ‘best sex toys for men’ on the up, we were disheartened to learn that two in five British blokes have still never tried a sex toy. For some, that’s due to questions surrounding use; for others, it’s the fear of shame and stigma.

Supposedly, men are also nearly twice as likely as women to worry their partner will be uncomfortable with them using sex toys. But here’s a reminder that sex tech — whether that’s the best vibrators, long-distance sex toys or beginner-friendly bullet vibrators — as well as providing and amplifying pleasurable sensations, provides variety, excitement and an opportunity to explore new things you may like. Better yet, it can be a route to enhanced intimacy and trust between a couple.

Need to hear it from an expert? “Sex toys allow you to experience new sensations that can help you discover new ways to feel pleasure,” says Isabelle Uren. “They’re a great way to help create the power and type of stimulation you need to climax during solo or partnered sex.”

However, knowing what to look for and where can be overwhelming — especially if you’re a sex tech beginner. Thankfully, a host of GLAMOUR editors have set about trying a host of sex toys for men to track down the very best. So, stay tuned for our top-rated, as well as tips from industry experts.

We’ve been updating our guide to the best quiet vibrators since 2022. But we haven’t only relied on the detailed reviews left by (satisfied) shoppers online. GLAMOUR editors — and their partners, who span a range of genders, ages and sexual experience — have volunteered to road-test a selection of male sex toys during both masturbation and partnered sex.

Most paired theirs with water-based lube and worked their way through the various modes for a minimum of two weeks. They were also asked to judge their chosen teaser against the following criteria: design, dimensions, ease of use, aesthetics, sound levels and value for money. Unsurprisingly, only our favourites made it into this edit.
