The difference between a 500-gram model and one weighing almost three kilos is not just in the price. A business guide on size, weight, operation, cleaning and storage.

The range includes models priced at €14.95 alongside those at €49.95, and from 500 grams to almost three kilograms. For a first-time buyer, it's mostly names and photos, offering little guidance. The practical differences lie in four areas: size, weight, operation, and maintenance effort. This article will review these four aspects.

Size and Weight Determine the Most

Broadly, there are three groups. The first is compact and manageable: models in a casing, usually sixteen to eighteen centimeters long. A 16.5 cm masturbator cup costs €14.95, and the black and red version the same. The transparent 17 cm cup costs €19.95. This group is light, easy to hold, and the quickest to clean. The Annie Pocket Pussy (€14.95) also falls into this category.

The second group is heavier and has no hard casing. Models around 500 grams, such as Angela, Amber, and Amy, cost €19.95 each. The LILO Milf 3D, 24 x 9 cm and 490 grams, costs €24.95. They feel different from a cup and are a bit harder to get completely dry.

The third group is substantial. Take me Hard Lisa weighs 900 grams (€24.95), Chantal 1.15 kilograms (€29.95), and Tess 2.95 kilograms (€49.95). With this weight, usage changes: you can no longer hold such a model in one hand, it requires more storage space, and cleaning and drying take longer. This is not a drawback, but it is something to know beforehand rather than discover afterward.

Group Weight Price Indication Maintenance
Cup or pocket model light €14.95 – €19.95 Quick to clean and dry
Mid-range approx. 500 g €19.95 – €24.95 Longer drying time
Heavy model 0.9 – 3 kg €24.95 – €49.95 Requires more space and time

Manual or Motorized

Motorized models cost more and require power, but offer adjustable settings. The Carlos automatic masturbator with 12 speeds and the Calvin with 12 speeds both cost €39.95. The Rapid King, with vibration and rotation, costs €49.95. If you want to see if vibration appeals to you without immediately spending forty euros, you can consider the Ox Power 22 cm with vibration (€24.95) or the Quickies Pro 24 cm (€19.95, including three cock rings).

Two practical considerations for anything with a motor. Check beforehand whether the model runs on batteries or is rechargeable, and where the power supply is located. This determines how you clean it: a model with electronics should not be submerged in water. And check if the soft interior is removable. If so, you only clean that part and keep the rest dry; if not, you rely on careful rinsing.

Material and Lubricant: Why They Are Linked

Manufacturers typically use TPE or silicone for the soft parts. The packaging or product page will state what it is, and this is more than a detail: it determines which lubricant you can use and how you clean it.

Water-based lubricant is the safest standard choice, as silicone lubricant can damage some soft materials. Manufacturers usually state this themselves with the product; if in doubt, stick to water-based. Affordable options include the Lotus Flower Aqua Lubricant 150 ml (€4.15), the 100 ml natural water-based lubricant (€4.00), and the Power Escorts water-based lubricant 150 ml (€9.95).

Expect to use more than you think. Water-based dries out faster than other types, so a 100 ml bottle is not a year's supply with regular use.

Cleaning and Storage

This is the part that determines whether a purchase lasts three months or three years. The order is simple:

  1. Rinse immediately after use with lukewarm water. Waiting makes the task bigger.
  2. Use a cleaner made for this purpose, such as the Toy Cleaner Spray 150 ml (€8.95) or the 120 ml unscented toy cleaner (€7.95).
  3. Allow to dry completely before storing. For heavier models, this can take a day; place them so air can circulate.
  4. Store dry and dark, separate from other soft materials. Different types of plastic can react with each other upon prolonged contact.

Avoid hot water, abrasive cleaners, and harsh cleaning agents. These damage soft materials irreversibly.

What Suits Which Situation

Limited storage space or a shared home: choose a cup or pocket model. They are compact, discreet to store, and the quickest to clean.

Have space and prefer weight: models from 500 grams to over a kilo range in price between €19.95 and €29.95 and offer the most value for money, provided you are willing to spend more time cleaning them.

Interested in adjustable settings: start with a vibrator model around €20 before moving to automatic models of €39.95 and higher. This way, you'll know if you like it.

For all three, the same applies: factor in a cleaner and a bottle of water-based lubricant in your budget immediately. Together, they cost about €13, and without these two, every model is less pleasant to use and has a shorter lifespan.

The full range is available in Masturbators, maintenance products in Toycleaners, and lubricants in Lubricants. If you want to know which model in what size is in stock, or have a question about material or maintenance, feel free to email info@verpakkingdeals.nl.
