What is a prostate massager?
A prostate massager is a sex toy shaped to press the prostate, a gland a couple of inches up, on the rectum's front wall. The curve reaches it from inside, a tab, arm, handle, ring or base stays outside so it can't travel in, and many also press the perineum (between the balls and the anus). Here: hands-free, vibrating and moving massagers, plus one curved dildo.
Hands-free or powered?
A hands-free prostate massager has no motor: the unpowered Aneros shapes and the steel plug move when you squeeze and relax your pelvic muscles, rocking the toy against the prostate; it takes practice. A powered massager moves for you: vibration, thrust, tap, rotation or a beckoning tip, sometimes heat, often a remote or app. The Aneros Helix Syn V does both.
Types of prostate massagers
Hands-free prostate massagers
The Aneros MGX Syn Trident runs on your contractions: silicone, a ribbed stem, arms and tabs outside, a 0.78-inch tip and a 1-inch mid-ridge; waterproof. The Aneros Progasm Classic is the largest of the Aneros shapes here, in plastic: a contoured head, an angled stem that pivots with your muscles, a ball-shaped tab for the perineum and a second tab just below the sacrum. The Njoy Pfun Plug is 316-grade stainless steel shaped for the prostate, 3.5 inches insertable, 1.25 across, waterproof; by hand or hands-free. It may contain some nickel: skip it if you're nickel-sensitive.
Vibrating prostate massagers
The Lovense Edge 2's arm bends so its pad and head land where you want; IPX7, app-controlled. The Anal Fantasy Elite's flexible tip bends to fit: 9 functions, a remote, and silicone that warms to body temperature against your skin. The Anal Fantasy Hyper Pulse pulses a soft silicone diaphragm at its tip on one point, aimed by its curve, plus vibration. The Aneros Helix Syn V is hands-free with optional vibration (24 combinations, up to 3 hours a charge). The Nexus Bendz bends to your angle: 6 vibration functions, submersible. More anal vibrators.
Thrusting, tapping and rotating prostate massagers
The Gender X True Blue thrusts a quarter inch and vibrates from a T-shaped handle. The Playboy Come Hither's angled tip beckons against the prostate as the shaft vibrates, 10 speeds each, 25-foot remote. The Playboy Pleasure Pleaser heats up to 109°F as its tapping head knocks against the prostate: a vibrating handle, 30-foot remote. The Nexus Revo Twist is double-ended: a 2-speed rotating shaft, a 6-speed vibrating plug, a remote up to 8 meters, splashproof. The Anal Fantasy Ass-Gasm Pro's tip makes a come-hither motion while its base rocks on the perineum, plus an optional built-in cock ring. More remote control vibrators.
Curved dildos: G-spot or prostate
The Temptasia Bellatrix is a curved silicone shaft, 6.25 inches long and 1.5 across, shaped to press the G-spot and, used anally, the prostate, with a strong suction cup underneath for hands-free sessions on a smooth surface; it fits an O-ring harness, and it warms with your body heat, or under warm water. Angle each slow stroke yourself. For prostate play, keep a firm hold of the base or mount it. More toys built to stay put: flared base butt plugs and dildos.
Remote, app or your own muscles?
Remotes: 25 feet on the Come Hither, 30 on the Pleasure Pleaser, up to 8 meters on the Revo Twist; the Anal Fantasy Elite's remote has no stated range. An app: the Lovense Edge 2 is driven by the Lovense app over Bluetooth, alone, with a partner, or long-distance. Or neither, for the hands-free toys. Whoever holds the controls stops the moment the wearer says so. Browse the rest of our app-controlled toys.
How to choose a prostate massager
- Size. Start slim. Widths: 0.78-inch tip (MGX Syn Trident), 1 inch (Helix Syn V), 1.07 (Come Hither), 1.25 (Pfun Plug, True Blue), 1.3 (Ass-Gasm Pro), 1.43 (Pleasure Pleaser), 1.5 (curved dildo).
- What stays outside. A tab, arm, handle, ring or base, depending on the toy.

- Motion, pulse, heat or vibration. Thrust: True Blue. Beckon: Come Hither, Ass-Gasm Pro. Tap and heat: Pleasure Pleaser. Rotate: Revo Twist. Pulse: Hyper Pulse.
- Remote or app. Remotes: Come Hither, Pleasure Pleaser, Revo Twist, Anal Fantasy Elite. App: Edge 2.
- Material. Mostly silicone, one plastic, one steel; steel is rigid and heavy, so go slower.
How to use a prostate massager
- Bathroom first, then a shower.
- Lube generously, water-based, toy and body both (the steel plug takes any kind).
- On your side, knees up, or on your back, knees bent.
- Ease the tip in slowly, angled toward your navel, until the outside part rests on you; never force it.
- Let it settle a few minutes before switching anything on.
- Hands-free? Squeeze and relax your pelvic muscles to rock it. Powered? Lowest setting first.
- Pressure is fine; pain means stop. Partnered? The receiver sets the pace and holds the stop word.
Cleaning, care and safety
- Before and after, wash it in warm water with a drop of mild soap, or use toy cleaner; let it dry before charging.
- Water: submerge only the IPX7 Edge 2, True Blue and bendable probe; the splashproof Revo Twist gets a rinse; the rest, waterproof or unrated (the large hands-free massager, Ass-Gasm Pro, curved dildo), get warm, soapy water, no soaking, ports dry.
- One hole at a time: wash the toy before any vaginal use.
- The Ass-Gasm Pro's cock ring, if worn: take it off after about 20 to 30 minutes, or right away if you feel pain, numbness or coldness.
- Talk to your doctor first with a prostate condition, hemorrhoids, an active infection or recent surgery, or if anything hurts or bleeds.
Prostate massager FAQ
How does a prostate massager work?
By pressing the prostate from inside with an angled tip or curve; many also press the perineum from outside with a tab, arm or pad. Hands-free massagers move with your muscles; powered ones vibrate, thrust, tap, rotate or beckon.
How do you use a prostate massager?
Slowly, with lots of water-based lube. On your side, knees up, ease the tip in, angled toward your navel, until the outside part rests on you. Let it settle, then squeeze your pelvic muscles or switch a powered toy on low.
How do you insert a prostate massager?
Lube the tip and yourself, breathe out and press it in slowly, angled toward your navel, until the outside part rests on your body. Pause at any resistance and add lube, not pressure. Never force it.
What does a prostate massager feel like?
Fullness and pressure first. Many people feel like they need to pee; it usually fades as you relax. A hands-free toy feels like a slow rock each squeeze; vibration, a tap or a thrust is sharper.
Which prostate massager is best for beginners?
A slim, simple one with a part that stays outside: the MGX Syn Trident has a 0.78-inch tip, the Helix Syn V is 1 inch across, the Come Hither 1.07. Our 8 best prostate massagers guide goes deeper.
Is a prostate massager safe?
Yes, used slowly, with lube and a toy with a part that stays outside. Sharp pain, bleeding or lingering numbness means stop. Talk to your doctor first with a prostate condition, hemorrhoids, an active infection or recent surgery.
Can women use a prostate massager?
No prostate to reach, but the same curve can find the G-spot: the curved dildo here is shaped for either, and the bendable probe works for anal or vaginal play. Wash anything used anally before vaginal use.
What is the difference between a prostate massager and a butt plug?
Shape and aim. A butt plug is a bulb on a slim neck above a flared base; a prostate massager curves forward to press one spot, often with a perineum tab, and usually moves. Browse butt plugs.
