Know that area that connects the head of the penis with the shaft? That small tissue. Well, that area is known as the frenulum and it happens to be a sort of hidden treasure of male pleasure.
Stimulating that area directly can feel ticklish, tempting, and if you do it right…it can lead to some pretty damn amazing orgasms.
Unfortunately, for most penis-owners, the hand is simply not suited for stimulating this area. It can feel nice, sure, but not enough for an orgasm.
And this is where frenulum vibrators come into play. Frenulum vibrators are unique male masturbation toys that are designed to stimulate that specific area. Usually via targeted vibrations of various intensities.
The sensation offered by these toys usually feels somewhat similar to a blowjob or a penis massage.
And the orgasms are amazing too. For me, an orgasm from a frenulum toy usually feels like the pleasure is teased out of you. You feel great and enjoy the stimulation, and all of the sudden, seemingly out of nowhere…a massive, amazing cumshot.
An opposite of the type of stimulation from something like penis milking toys or blowjob machines where it feels as if the orgasms are aggressively sucked out of you.
The bottom line is this – frenulum stimulation is something worth experimenting with. As such, I decided to revisit and review some of my favorite toys focused on that area.
As always, I’ll try to include stuff from various price ranges and with different features. All in the hopes that anyone can find a frenulum vibrator suited to their particular goals and tastes.
So, without further ado, let’s just start.
Here are the reviews for best frenulum stimulators currently on the market:
• Our Overall Favorite – “Lovense Gush 2”
• Best Air Pulse Stimulator – “Arcwave Ion 2”
• Best Wand Vibrator – “Lovense Domi 2”
• The Most Intense – “Hot Octopuss Jett”
• Best Fleshlight – “Blake Blossom’s Bombshell”
Our Overall Favorite – “Lovense Gush 2”
Let’s kick things off with Gush 2, a much-loved masturbator in the male toy sphere.
You see, the design here is pretty much as convenient as it gets in terms of ease-of-cleaning and overall usability. It has two wings that open up and wrap around your penis. This means that virtually any size can rock this. And the flip-open design also makes it very convenient for a quick wash.
The ease-of-use is only one side of the coin though. The Gush 2 is also a rockstar in terms of how the toy feels.
First off, this one is fully interactive – it has perks such as long-distance control, possibility of creating your own masturbation patterns, and an extensive library of different pre-set patterns of varying intensities. Whether you prefer a more teasing ride or something more akin to a milking machine…you’ll find it here.
How does it feel though?
Well, it is not strictly a frenulum-only toy. Due to this, you’ll find the vibrations to feel like they are almost flying “up and down” the entirety of the shaft at first. Due to how light and body-friendly the Gush 2 is, you can even manually move it up and down your penis while enjoying the buzz.
Your intuition is key here – move the toy exactly when and how you like. Same goes for intensities – experiment with different strengths and find something that stimulates you the most.
Once you orgasm, you’ll see exactly why we chose it as one of the best frenulum toys currently out there. The stimulation from the Gush 2 will eventually lead to an orgasm that is, for the lack of better word, very sensitive. The more you start to feel the stimulation from the Gush 2, the more it starts to affect the frenulum area. You feel a sort of pressured, intense, and fast tapping-motion in that area…until you can’t hold it in anymore and just shoot your load.
Also – the afterglow from this one is amazing. There’s a sort of pleasant fluttering that is felt in the shaft and the frenulum long after you are done with your Gush 2 session.
Best Air Pulse Stimulator – “Arcwave Ion 2”
With the Arcwave Ion 2, we have a male toy that uses Pleasure Air technology.
Pleasure Air is a type of stimulation that uses air pulses to deliver the goods instead of the more direct vibrations. This sort of stimulation has long been used in many vulva-focused toys like the ever-popular LELO vibrators, many clit vibrators, and pinpoint stimulation toys.
Pleasure Air is not all that common for male toys though so I was pretty interested to feel how it has been handled in the Ion 2.
And I loved it.
It feels airy, magnetic, and just so damn nice. You stick your penis into the Ion 2, switch on, and settle into the sensation.
This is the type of stuff you feel from “within” – as I said, this stuff is magnetic. It feels as if something is treating your penis “from the inside” in the best way possible. The waves of sensation travel all along your shaft and put pressure on the frenulum area until you build up to an orgasm and explode.
Now, the Ion 2 also has a feature called Auto Pilot where the intensities of the toy are changed automatically. You travel from light to mid to harsh. In random intervals.
It may sound annoying, but I absolutely adored it. In fact, it’s the very best way to enjoy the Ion 2. Nothing quite like leaving yourself “to hang” on a gentle setting only to suddenly be rocked to a fast orgasm out of nowhere.
Oh, and while I don’t engage with porn on a regular basis these days (porn addiction is a real danger!), there are still times when I just want to go full degenerate and even enjoy a good gooning session.
And, while I haven’t tried the Ion 2 as a gooning toy just yet, I am pretty sure that it would be an amazing fit for such shenanigans.
Just something to consider.
Best Wand Vibrator – “Lovense Domi 2”
Magic wands are generally associated with vulva stimulation. Hear me out, though – they can also be used for penis stimulation. And frenulum stimulation in particular works like a treat for these types of toys.
With the Domi 2 in particular, we have a wand that is known for its deep, rumbly, and intense vibrations.
It has also become one of the mainstays in our bedroom because my wife Elizabeth simply loves holding it on her clit while we have sex. According to her, it works particularly well during missionary.
Let’s not get unfocused now, though. The Domi 2 wand has seen plenty of action from me as well.
Sure, it’s not quite as intense and direct on the frenulum as the Gush 2 and the Arcwave Ion 2, but it still has its place.
If you are flying solo, just place the head of the Domi 2 on the frenulum. Go for the fastest, most throbbing settings and hold it there. You will get rock hard and get quite close to an orgasm pretty quickly. Particularly if you have been on a dry spell for a while.
For a truly mindbending experience though, try combining the Domi 2 with a blowjob. Hold it there while someone is going down on you. It’s genuinely one of the most unique (in a good way) sex toy experiences I’ve had.
Now, if you don’t have someone to do the mouth-deed on you then just hold the Domi 2 on your frenulum with one hand while slowly jerking yourself off with the other.
Also a very, very nice combination.
The Most Intense – “Hot Octopuss Jett”
The design for this frenulum vibrator is eye-catching to say the least.
It comes in three separate parts. You have a penis ring with one hole for the penis and two holes for accommodating the two individual bullets that come with the toy. The two bullets can be operated individually via the included remote.
And this is where it gets really interesting.
You see, the vibration modes for the Octopuss Jett are called “Bass” and “Treble”. Each mode has 6 different intensities. You can use one bullet for using the “Bass” setting and the other for the “Treble” setting.
As you probably guessed, the “Bass” is something deep and all-over-the-penis while the “Treble” is more like a surface level, massage-like flick over the penis. Combine and play with them both to find a setting that works best for your penis.
I admit, I find the whole thing to have an air of cringe to it. Bass and treble vibrations for a damn masturbator? Weird.
However, it does feel pretty damn good though. For one, the concentration of vibrations to the frenulum is done to perfection here. It stays in place very well and it’s one of the few vibrators in here where you genuinely feel the vibes traveling DIRECTLY to that sweet spot right below the head.
And, I was also surprised to see that the stimulation from this was enough for me to get off. No need for a flick of a tongue or a cheeky stroke. Just wear the thing and you’ll probably shoot your shot after a few minutes.
Oh, and speaking of ejaculation – the cleaning process here amounts to literally nothing. All you need to clean is the surface on which your sweet DNA will land on. This makes it a great frenulum stimulation pick for folks who prioritize discretion and cleanliness in their male toys.
Best Fleshlight – “Blake Blossom’s Bombshell”
Find best offers at Fleshlight
Look, I simply adore Fleshlights. I love collecting and testing various Fleshlight Girls and some of the stuff Fleshlight have released have even become my all-time non-automatic male toys. I seem to have a particular affinity for tight Fleshlights and ebony Fleshlights, but there are wonderful sleeves in other FL categories as well.
Such as the much-adored Bombshell – a sleeve tailored to look and feel like the vag of the wonderful Blake Blossom.
Now, is a Fleshlight sleeve something that you would associate with frenulum stimulation? Not at all.
Hear me out though – all good Fleshlights are filled to the brim with various nubs, bumps, and texture variations. All to give your penis a treatment as royal and relaxing as possible. And Bombshell in particular hits it out of the park in the stimulation department.
As you begin stroking, you’ll not feel the sensations concentrate in the frenulum. Sure, the penetration feels great and every part of your penis will feel stimulated to the max.
However, when you come, you’ll immediately understand why I associate it with frenulum stim.
During the finishing stage (as I’m fully engorged, the head swollen), the exit point rubs and presses against the frenulum in such a way that my orgasm feels very concentrated there.
The final release seems less about shaft pressure and more about that underside ridge. It feels ticklish, hot, and simply beautiful.
All in all, what you have here is a wonderful combination of a pornstar fantasy, realistic stimulation, and a frenulum-concentrated orgasm. Great stuff!
Just beware of getting TOO hooked. Fleshlights are not all that cheap and they make for wonderful collectibles. If you don’t watch out, you may just end up falling into the rabbit hole quite fast.
If you’ve never given your frenulum the spotlight, consider this your friendly nudge.
That little strip of skin is packed with nerve endings that can turn ordinary stimulation into something surprisingly powerful. Whether you’re just looking for a more luxe jerk-off experience or playing with a partner, experimenting with focused frenulum play is a fun way to shake up your routine.
And, as we all know, breaking up the routine once in a while is one of the keys to a great sex life.
Have fun!
