Clap it up for the absolute crème de la crème of prostate massagers. From luxury pleasure product company Lelo, the Loki is perfectly shaped for anal insertion and stimulation.
The Loki has six vibration patterns, which range from strong continuous vibes to a powerful pulsating throb. Depending on your pleasure preferences, you can either slide the toy inside you with lubricant and then keep it there, letting it vibrate against your hotspot. Or, you can use the handle to thrust the vibrator in and out of your hole. If you’re masturbating, try propping a sex pillow under your hips for easier access and reach.
Not to mention, it’s made of silky smooth silicone, and it’s 100-percent waterproof, which means you can (and should!) use this bad boy in the shower. Three cheers for easy clean-up!

The Aneros Vice prostate massager doesn’t just win an award from us—the original Vice was a recipient of the AVN “O” Awards for Outstanding Male Product. In other words, the first iteration won the Grammy of sex toys, so you know the second edition is going to be great.
“The major strength of the Vice 2 is its shape,” says Men’s Health sex and relationships columnist Zachary Zane in his review of the product. The device has two sections: There’s the head, which is the top of the toy up until the first groove that is designed solely for prostate stimulation. Then, there’s the shaft, which ends at the second groove and stopper. Inserting the toy entirely will bring on deeper anal stimulation alongside hitting the P-spot.
The Vice 2 also has two powerful motors—one that controls the 18 vibration patterns, and another that controls the four speeds; together they produce 72 sensory experiences. It also comes with a nifty, handheld controller, which will make it easier for you to use the Vice 2 during solo play, and can also be used by a partner to control the toy during sex.

If you’re new to anal play, you don’t need to drop a fat stack on a prostate massager. You’d be better served starting small and slow, keeping it simple, and opting for a beginner-friendly butt plug like this one from Lovehoney.
Featuring 3.5 inches of insertable length, and no thicker than a finger, the Butt Tingler will help you experience tushy tingles, without overwhelming your rear or causing pain. It also has 10 different vibration functions. Just note that the vibrator doesn’t come with the AAA battery it needs to turn on.

Meet Hugo 2, the Daddy of prostate massagers. This option from Lelo has two vibrating motors that enable the entire toy to vibrate intensely. It also comes with a wireless remote so you (or your partner) can control the vibration patterns without having to remove the plug.
Once you’ve enjoyed this prostate massager a handful of times, Zane recommends using it to edge yourself. One of the things that makes the Hugo great is that you don’t need to have the device on the entire time you’re playing. “It’s fast and simple to bring down the intensity (and then back up again),” he wrote in his comprehensive 2019 review. “This makes it the optimal choice for those interested in prolonged sexual sessions, as well as anyone who wants to explore edging, whether during solo or partnered play.”
While testing the Hugo, Zane also stumbled upon what he calls its best feature: “Hugo localizes where the vibrations go depending on the direction of the tilt, meaning that when I had the remote tilted back, it hit the back of my prostate. When I tilted it to the left, it would vibrate harder on my left side. Then, of course, you can control the intensity of the vibration by the degree of the tilt,” he explained. “So in addition to feeling really good, I now know precisely where my ‘spot’ is, and I plan to hit it every time I can from now on.”

If you’re new to the wonderful world of prostate massagers, you don’t necessarily need to drop a wad of cash on a model with all the bells and whistles. After all, you don’t yet know what size massager and type of stimulation you might enjoy the most. The oh-so-sleek Lovehoney Ignite Vibrating Prostate Massager is a perfect choice for butt stuff beginners, as it’s easy to use and rings up at under $35.
In addition to being an accessible price and not-too-intimidating size, the flared base of the toy is also quite slim. This means that you can use and wear it on your back, without feeling like there’s a rock under your mattress.

Pros
- Available in a few different sizes
- Bulbous head shaped perfectly for prostate stimulation
- Great for partnered play
- Flexible, slim base for comfortable wear
Cons
- Does not vibrate
- Does not stimulate as deeply as some may want
The Fun Factory Bootie is a classic butt plug. But don’t underestimate its power to pleasure just because it seems like one of the smaller options on this list: The plug is available in three different sizes (small, medium, and large). As you might guess, beginners should opt for the smaller size while folks who know they enjoy girthier insertion would be better suited with the large.
Plus, its bulbous head is curved and shaped to hit your prostate just right. The base of the plug effectively keeps your anal canal from sucking it inside your body, but is slim enough that you can wear it on your back. Pro tip: Wear it while having a partner ride you.

Pros
- Cock ring and prostate massager have separate motors
- Piece that attaches massager to cock ring is ribbed for pleasure
- Stimulates cock, taint, and prostate all at once
Cons
- Not suitable for beginners
- Requires some patient putting on
This triple-stimulator features four inches of insertable length for prostate stimulation, and also comes outfitted with a double cock ring: One that fits around the base of the penis, and another that wraps around the top of the testicles.
“This prostate massager has a double penis ring attached, which provides vibrating sensations throughout your nether regions,” says Justin Lehmiller, PhD, Kinsey Institute researcher and member of the Men’s Health advisory panel. “It can be used alone or with a partner during a variety of sexual activities and is worth considering for those who want combined P-spot and penile stimulation.”
It’s also waterproof and has dual-motor control to allow customizable stimulation for each area, which gives you the opportunity to explore new things and customize it to your preferences, he adds.
Dimensions | 5 x 3.75 in |
Material | Silicone |
Insertable Length | 4 in. |

Pros
- Stimulates your internal hotspot and the anal opening
- Travel-lock makes it travel friendly
- Can be used as a vaginal plug as well
Cons
- Even the smallest size may be too hefty for some users
The B-Vibe Rimming Plug not only offers garden-variety prostate play, but its motorized base also gives the anal opening, an area rich in nerve endings, intense stimulation. Rather than simply vibrating, the base has a string of beads that rotate in such a way that simulates the sensation of analingus. Hence the term “rimming” in the toy’s name.
The vibration and rotation options can be controlled through a button right on the plug, or with the wireless remote control that comes with it. The remote control works from up to 30 feet away, making this toy a game-changer for mutual masturbation, as well as those who like to put on a show.

Pros

- Handle doesn’t vibrate so hand won’t get numb

By now, you know that Lelo makes some of the best prostate massagers on the market. Well, there’s one more you should know about: The Billy 2, a vibrating option with a whopping eight different intensity settings that range from subtle to super-rumbly. Indeed, while some prostate massagers’ vibration veers on the buzzy side due to the small shape of the toy, and therefore a smaller size of the motor, the Lelo Billy 2 is very powerful.
This massager has a tapered tip for easy entry, as well as a curved shape that was sculpted with prostate play in mind. Meanwhile, the non-vibrating handle means you or your partner can manipulate the toy by hand without your fingers going numb. Score!

What Else to Look for
Shape
Always opt for a massager with a flared base. Why? Well, it’s not just for aesthetics! The flared base serves as a handy little safety feature, preventing the toy from going all the way inside and getting lost in the depths of your backdoor, explains Queen. After all, the anal canal doesn’t have an anatomical stopping point, like the vagina.
Don’t worry, all of our best prostate massager picks above have a flared base. So you can use any of them whether you’re flying solo or inviting a partner to join the fun, and trust that your playtime won’t send you to the hospital.

Wait, Prostate Stimulation Can Lead to An Orgasm?
Yep! Many people can orgasm from prostate stimulation alone, says Wright, while others find that adding prostate stimulation into the mix can facilitate an even stronger penile (or, ejaculatory) orgasm. When prostate stimulation is combined with penile stimulation it can create a super-duper climax known as a blended orgasm.
The fact that orgasm is possible from prostate stimulation alone is especially noteworthy for individuals with erectile dysfunction, says Queen: “Prostate orgasm doesn’t require an erection, so it allows people to experience the pleasures of orgasm even if they can’t get hard.” In practice, this means they continue to get off during solo and partnered experiences, notes Wright. Fun!
Keep in mind that the prostate can either be stimulated directly through the anal canal—which is the approach the best prostate massagers above use—or indirectly through the perineum. That means that both prostate pleasure and prostate orgasms are possible for people who don’t enjoy internal anal stimulation. Or, who can’t currently enjoy it due to hemorrhoids or other medical conditions.
When you started your prostate massager shopping journey, you were probably a little overwhelmed by how many options there are on the market. No doubt, that can make the selection process a little hard! But it’s actually a sign that sex toy manufacturers are rising to meet the growing demand from penis-owners!
Thanks to the normalization of prostate play in pop culture (hi, Broad City pegging episode) as well as the hard work of sex educators spreading the prostate play gospel, more and more folks who once shied away from butt stuff are finally getting on board.
Part of their increased popularity, says Wright, is the fact that straight cis men are finally (finally!) realizing that butt stuff is for people of all sexualities. Historically, these men have both believed and feared that specific forms of sexual play (read: anal) is gay, she expkains. But through exposure and education, they realize that isn’t the case.
“Let me tell you right now—sexual acts do not have sexual orientations,” she says. “Therefore, nothing you *do* can be gay. People are gay. Not sex acts.” Of course, if you are gay and enjoy prostate massage, that’s cool, too.
