The Best Prostate Massagers Will Unlock the Back Door

A prostate massager is simply one of the most pleasurable sex toys for men there is. It will give you stronger, harder orgasms. And if that’s enough of an endorsement for you, fantastic, keep scrolling, enjoy yourself. 

For everyone else, let’s start with an anatomy lesson. The prostate gland is located just two or three inches past your anus. This walnut-sized gland is jam-packed with nerve endings. When properly stimulated, like during anal sex, it can lead to Earth-shattering, full-body orgasms. You know how when you typically ejaculate, it feels great—and localized to your genital area? That’s beginner’s stuff. When you get off with a prostate massager inside you, you feel it everywhere. We’re talking left pinky toe and right eyeball.

Now, the best way to stimulate the p-spot (you know, like the g-spot) is with a dedicated prostate massager or similar prostate toys. They differ from some of the other best sex toys for men like anal beads or Fleshlights and masturbators because they are specifically designed to hit that button. That’s why most of them look pretty similar, with a slightly curved bulbous head. There are differences, however. Most of them vibrate, but some don’t. Some are small and friendly for first-timers, while others are a bit bigger. And some of them have a second part that hugs your perineum, that strip of skin that extends between your anus and the base of your testicles. (You know, the taint.) This helps to keep the prostate massager in place so you can move around and do stuff like penetrate your partner while the massager remains firmly tucked away. (This also makes it one of the best sex toys for couples!) 

If you’ve never dabbled in any anal play, we know this can all sound intimidating. But on the other hand, why not? Those nerve endings are already back in there, just waiting for a little stimulation. 

The Best Prostate Massager: Lelo Hugo

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
Battery Life: 2 hours

The best massager on the market, bar none. It’s expensive, but if you plan on using it more than a few times, then there’s no reason not to splurge. The incredible precision of the vibrations separates Hugo from the pack. To control the speed and intensity, you simply tilt the circular remote. So if you tilt down and to the right, the vibrations will be stronger on the back right side. It’s like laser-guided access to where you experience the most pleasure. 

Pros: Great shape for prostate stimulation; eight adjustable settings of powerfully rumbly vibration; two motors to stimulate both prostate and perineum at once; silky-smooth silicone; can be used with or without the included remote; waterproof
Cons: May be too large for some users; can’t be used with silicone-based lubes; remote requires disposable batteries; expensive

The Best Inexpensive Prostate Massager: Aneros Helix Trident

Material: ABS plastic

Prostate massagers are often pricey, which makes a certain amount of sense. (You don’t want to stick just anything up there.) But the Helix Trident is on the cheaper side. Unlike most other toys on the list, this one doesn’t vibrate, but it still works great, particularly if you’re a newbie to anal play and prostate stimulation—the Helix is a great starter toy. If you determine you love the sensation of something inside you, then you can upgrade to a more expensive vibrating model like the Aneros Vice 2, which packs a powerful motor into a discreet device.
