If you have a penis in 2026 and you’re looking to buy your first sex toy, or add a new one to your collection, you’ve come to the right place. Buying a toy is all about finding something that suits your body, your preferences and the kind of sensations you want to explore. For some penis owners, that may be a stroker or penis ring, while for others, it may include prostate play, vibrations, or toys that can be used with a partner. Our bodies and how we access pleasure is always changing, so its worth staying curious over time about what feels good for you. It is also important to note, because of stigma or sex-negative messaging, that using an anal toy or exploring your prostate does not define your sexual orientation; it simply means that sensation feels good in your body. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to pleasure, which is why knowing what's out there is the perfect place to start. The great news is that sex toy technology is booming, and the innovation of toy designs for penises are definitely worth exploring.
The Best Sex Toys for Men in 2026
Why Choosing the Right Sex Toy Matters
Different toys create different sensations depending on where you’re using it, the materials used, the size and shape and the quality of the motor. There are lots of different elements to consider when investing in a new toy, so it's always worth taking the time to explore your options, and understand what type of experience you want. The best type of toy is one you feel comfortable using. A toy that feels intuitive and easy to use will most likely create a much better experience than something chosen purely for novelty or intensity. Pleasure is personal, and everyone feels pleasure differently in their body. Taking the time to invest in a high-quality toy should be fun and bring satisfaction and pleasure into your sex life.
Things to Consider Before Choosing a Sex Toy
Before choosing a toy, it can help to think about the type of experience you want to have. Do you want something that mimics another body, eg a mouth, hand or the inside of someone else? Materials can range from medical grade silicone that can feel soft, much like another body part, to something harder and more rigid like stainless steel. Do you want something inside of you, or something you can use with a partner? Some toys will vibrate, others won’t. For example, Would you rather a vibrating or non-vibrating toy? Do you want a toy to feel broad and diffused with vibration, or focused and intense? It's also worth considering elements like texture and flexibility as they will all influence the type of sensations you’ll receive.
Material Safety
Body-safe materials tend to have a higher quality feel, can be cleaned more easily and will last longer over time. Silicone is one of the most commonly used materials within the sex toy industry; as it feels soft against skin, warms naturally with the body and is easy to maintain. Always opt for a medical-grade silicone as it’ll last longer and, from a hygienic point of view, won’t absorb bodily fluids the way cheaper silicone does. TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is another popular material for sex toys because of its soft feel and similarity to the feeling of real skin, this material is often used for strokers and masturbators however it is more porous than other materials, as it can absorb moisture, oil and bacteria, so it's important to thoroughly clean after every use. Other toys can be made from borosilicate glass (shatter proof glass), aluminum, Aluminum/Titanium Alloys and medical-grade stainless steel, which feel more rigid and can be used in temperature controlled play too.
Targeted Pleasure Zones
When understanding targeted pleasure zones, there are a few important ones worth knowing about. Firstly, the penis. The penis is stimulated by the dorsal penile nerve, responsible for over 4,000 nerve endings, controlling initiation and maintenance of an erection. For some people, the most sensitive area is the head of the penis, where lighter pressure, vibration, or textured sleeves can feel especially intense due to the concentration of nerve endings. Others may enjoy broader stimulation around the shaft and or scrotum, where movement, warmth, pressure or vibration can create a more diffused, full-bodied sensation.
Another pleasure zone is the prostate, or the ‘P spot’. This is a gland accessed through the male rectum that can respond to curved pressure and rhythmic movement. For many people, prostate stimulation feels different to external penile stimulation entirely, often described as deeper, fuller, or more gradual in sensation. Many toys are designed to stimulate multiple zones at once, while others keep the experience more targeted and specific depending on what feels most enjoyable. Other pleasurable zones can live outside of genitalia too. The neck, ears, nipples, mouth, inner thighs and across the body can feel incredible, so don’t be afraid to get creative with how you access pleasure.
Size and Fit
Size and fit change how a toy feels just as much as vibration or texture. For strokers and sleeves, tighter designs may feel more intense while broader designs can feel more relaxed and flexible. For penis rings, the tighter or smaller the size, the more blood restriction will happen to your penis. This might require a combination of the right size and preferred tightness around yourself, and is worth exploring a few options until you find one that works for you. With insertable toys, comfort and ease of wear usually create a better experience than choosing the most extreme size or shape immediately. Starting with something approachable often leaves more room for exploration later and minimises tears or injury. Our advice is to always start small and work your way up.
Features
Some toys focus on simplicity, while others introduce vibration, suction, warming, or app-controlled settings. Vibration can create deeper, fuller sensation or add variation to pacing and rhythm. A lot of toys may have an app control, which means you can introduce long distance play, partnered play or have more control over intensity levels and even interaction with videos. Suction toys tend to feel more focused and immersive, mimicking sensations like oral sex. Warming features can soften texture and create a more body-like feel during use. More features do not automatically mean a better experience. Often, it comes down to finding the kind of stimulation that feels enjoyable for you without becoming overwhelming or distracting.
Best Male Strokers
Strokers are designed to create a textured sensation around the penis, usually through silicone or TPE sleeves, internal pressure, or movement. They are usually designed to mimic the sensation of another body, whether that is a hand, a mouth or the inside of someone. Some keep things simple and manual, while others introduce vibration or more immersive internal textures. The difference often comes down to how much stimulation, intensity, or involvement someone wants from the experience.
Our Pick - Non-Vibrating
The Tenga Flip 0 stands out for its detailed, internal texture and structured, ergonomic design that's easy to use. Its hinged, split-open case makes cleaning and drying simpler, meaning maintenance is super easy.

The Tenga Flip 0 EVR (as you can tell, we’re big fans of Tenga) builds on the original Flip 0 design by introducing a steady, internal vibration and spinning function that stimulates the whole shaft and head of the penis. The vibration adds depth without taking over the experience completely. Most importantly, this toy has a controlled function that spins, according to your wrist movements.
Our Alternative - Non-Vibrating
The Dorcel Deep Blow takes a simpler approach, much like the Tenga Flip 0, this manual stroker has textured inner ridges (including spikes, spirals and beads) for complex stimulation.

The Gender X Barrel of Fun offers a more interactive approach to vibration and texture, with a compact shape, nubbed interior and rumbly vibrations which stimulates with every stroke. The shape of the toy is designed to give 360 degrees stimulation around the shaft or head of the penis, while the open-ended design also allows it to be used alongside oral or between two people with penises at the same time.
Best Penis Rings
Penis rings are designed to sit around the base of the penis, restricting blood flow away from the shaft, creating pressure that can heighten sensation, help maintain erection firmness and strength and increase girth during play. Some focus on simplicity and pressure alone, while vibrating styles introduce additional stimulation that can be shared with a partner during sex.
Our Pick - Non-Vibrating

Best Prostate Massagers
Prostate toys are designed to stimulate the prostate internally through curved shapes and targeted pressure. For some people, this kind of stimulation feels intense and deeply pleasurable. Some people prefer slimmer, softer shapes for gradual exploration, while others enjoy firmer toys or vibration. For others, the appeal is more gradual and exploratory. There is no right way to approach anal and prostate play, and it does not need to feel intimidating or highly technical. If you have a prostate, it's important to make sure you’re getting toys designed for the prostate specifically, and not just a butt plug, as their design is different and may not be as pleasurable as it can be.

Best Toys to Use with a Partner
Partnered toys can shift the focus away from performance and toward shared sensation, connection, and exploration.

What tends to work best often comes down to comfort, communication, and choosing something that feels intuitive and easy to use.

Tips for Using Male Sex Toys
A little preparation can go a long way, making toys more comfortable and enjoyable to use. There are two products that you should always carry in your toolkit, and they are lubricant and toy cleaner. Lubricant will change your experience significantly, particularly with strokers, rings, and insertable toys. Especially when trying anything anally, use lubricant, as your body doesn’t self-lubricate anally. Water-based lubricants tend to work well with most silicone toys and create smoother, more comfortable movement or ‘glide-ability’. Cleaning toys before and after use also helps maintain both hygiene and longevity. Warm water and a body-safe toy cleaner will usually cover the basics.
If you are trying a new toy or type of sensation, slower pacing often helps. There is rarely any benefit in rushing toward intensity immediately. Exploring gradually tends to create a more responsive and enjoyable experience overall.
Finding Your Best Sex Toy
The best sex toy is usually the one that feels comfortable, engaging, and suited to the kind of pleasure you actually enjoy. For some people, that means vibration. For others, texture, pressure, prostate stimulation, or partnered exploration may feel more appealing. Preferences shift over time too, which is why exploration rarely needs to feel fixed or goal-oriented.
High Tide’s curated collection of male sex toys, strokers, prostate massagers, penis rings, and partnered toys is designed to support different bodies, preferences, and styles of pleasure in a way that feels thoughtful, approachable, and easy to explore online or in-store.
