Why trust us?

You probably own all of them, anyway.
If the phrase "homemade sex toy" makes you immediately imagine a trip to the ER, you might be surprised to hear they're not necessarily as questionable as you'd expect...if you choose wisely.
DIY toys for sex and masturbation can be a great option if you're just beginning to (literally) play with your sex life—solo or with a partner. They're a low-cost, convenient way to experiment with what you like in a sex toy in terms of length, girth, texture, and more. Or, maybe you've exhausted your drawer (or closet, or room) of sex toys and want to try something new. Plus, some options are even disposable, making cleanup a breeze.
If you're hesitant to try something mechanical, man-made, or explicitly created for sex play, going the DIY route may make you feel more comfortable, according to sexuality and relationship consultant Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh , PhD. "Homemade sex toys featuring everyday objects are accessible," she says. "Plus, they can bring lightness and laughter to the dynamic, which is priceless." Just imagine never looking at a wooden spoon or cucumber without getting turned on again.
That being said, it can be difficult to know where to begin when you want to branch out from traditional sex toys . It's important to not just grab any old household object for bedroom play. Luckily, your search for the perfect bedroom accessory (that you probably already own!) ends here. These 27 homemade sex toys are all expert-approved—so you know they're both fun and safe to use.
Unless they're crotchless, you have to take off your nylons to have sex, so why not involve them in the fun instead of tossing them on the floor?
If you have consent from your partner, use these to tie their wrists and ankles, or to blindfold them while giving them a lap dance or grazing parts of your body on their lips, says psychologist and sex therapist Rachel Needle , PsyD.
"Remember, all other senses are heightened when sight is deprived, so blinding them with something silky or sexy to the touch is ideal," she says.
"Get a clean PVC pipe with the circumference and length that fits his penis," Laino says. "Lube the inside and have him penetrate it." That gives an all new meaning to the word hardware, eh?
"Underwear can easily be used as a gag," Matatas says. "Just be sure to fold the underwear from its corners into the center, so that if it unfolds, the bulk of the material will fold out of the mouth instead of back into the throat."
Sex and pleasure educator Luna Matatas recommends pressure point massage rollers. This one could easily be used in solo play to rub along your clit, nipples, or bum.
Chokers are super versatile in the bedroom, Morgan explains. Of course, they're a good option for people interested in collaring.
But even if that's not your style, Morgan says that just the act of putting a choker on can be exciting because it signals "'if you give me permission to collar you, now we're in active play, and you're going to take the submissive role.'"
"Some men will use a sock filled with lotion or lube and masturbate away," says Debra Laino , a sexologist as well as couples and marriage therapist. And, there’s no reason you can’t do that for them or have them do it next to you while you watch and stimulate yourself with your own toy of choice.
"Both partners using their own sex toys to mutually masturbate can add some diversity and spice to a couple's sex life," Laino says.
Sure, you can attempt to hold an ice cube in your mouth while delivering oral sex, or even swish ice-cold water in your mouth beforehand, but the thing about ice is that...it melts.
Instead, create that same effect by swishing your mouth with mouthwash before giving oral, says sex educator Laura McGuire. "It’s going to give off that tingling sensation that a lot of people really, really love," she explains.
But if you don't mind a little mess, ice is a great way to try out temperature play, says Tyomi Morgan , a certified sexologist and pleasure coach. "You can put it on any part of the body, any of your erogenous zones," she says.
She suggests using an ice cube to make trails on your body or your partner's body and then using your breath to emphasize that cool feeling.
This ice cube tray makes large squares that won't melt right away, so you can keep the party going all night long.
If you want to take your blow job game to a new level, this tool—er, jewel—is for you, says Laino.
"Slowly wrap it around your partner's penis and jerk them off," she suggests. Added pleasure bonus: Kiss and suck on the tip while you’re at it.
"The texture of the pearls gives the penis a very different and unique sensation," Laino says.
A wooden spoon is perfect for spanking because you can go soft or hard, depending on your partner’s preference, Laino says. Just make sure to have an open conversation about your sexual boundaries beforehand.
For another effect, Morgan suggests a silicone spatula. "It creates a different sensation," she says. The stinging effect and lighter impact, she adds, just can't compare to plain old wood.
Rubbing against a stack of pillows can stimulate the clitoris and serve as a stand-in for a partner, says Needle.
Pillows can also be great co-masturbation tools, says McGuire, who encourages everyone to think outside of the penetrative sex box. "People forget that a lot of pleasure can be derived with just friction," she says. Noted!
Don't want to mess with your expensive pillows? Needle also recommends using towels. The texture can feel great and the material is versatile enough to use it in any number of ways.
Things heating up too quickly? Use a fan to cool off, or use the rotating blades as another form of texture play, Morgan explains. Just make sure your fan has softer blades, like this pocket-sized one.
Morgan also recommends using a fan to cool off the part of the body that you're focusing on. "That way, some of the redness goes down," she explains. It's a win-win.
If swishing mouthwash pre-oral isn't as convenient as you'd like it to be, McGuire also recommends popping some mints before giving oral. It'll give the same tingling sensation without having to run to the bathroom mid-foreplay.
Want to get dirty while getting clean? Easy. Just use your shower head as a vibrator by pressing it up against, or directly spraying, your clitoris, Needle says.
"Many [shower heads] can be used at varying pressures and spray settings, so each individual can experiment with what feels best," she says.
If you like the feeling of exfoliating your face or back, you might enjoy a similar sensation on your inner thighs, between your butt cheeks, on your outer labia, or against your breasts, says sex educator Kim Airs.
"A scrubbie sponge can be used gently or firmly, depending on what feels good for the user," she says. Penis-owners may like it too, she adds, on their scrotum or shaft.
If it feels too rough, try adding a (scented, if you like) dollop of massage oil , says Airs. Just be sure to use a clean one that hasn't been used on dirty dishes or toilets.
Think twice before throwing that empty paper towel roll in your recycling bin. Morgan says it's actually a ready-made toy: just stretch an inside-out textured condom over one end and push the rest inside. Add a rubber band or two for security and maybe some lubrication, and you're done.
Whether you're using this one by yourself or with a partner, Morgan says it's sure to be a hit. And later, "you can literally just roll it up and throw it in the trash," she adds.
"Chopsticks can be squeezed together with a small rubber band at the ends to create easy-to-use nipple clamps or to squeeze the outer labia together," Airs says. Just make sure to stay away from traditional bamboo chopsticks to avoid uncomfortable and painful splinters.
You likely have several of these around your home already, but it's never a bad idea to stock up—and now, you have another reason to.
"If you want a quick, pinching sensation, a snap of a rubber band will certainly make one jump to attention," Airs says. Again, be sure your partner is cool with feeling a sting and potentially sporting a bite-mark-looking impression temporarily after.
Is there anything coconut oil can’t do? If you get one that's organic and free of all preservatives and other chemicals, it works great as an inexpensive lube, says sexuality educator Jane Fleishman , PhD.
"Just remember you can't use any oil or oil-based lube with a latex condom because the oil will break down the integrity of the latex," she says.
A cucumber is a great option for internal stimulation, says Morgan. And, you can totally add a barrier if you want to (textured condom, anyone?), but you don't need to.
A peeled cucumber was actually used as a vaginal cleanser in ancient times, Morgan notes. So, rest easy (and consider freezing it. Just saying).
Fresh out of cucumbers? Try a carrot instead, recommends Morgan. Put your refrigerator's crisper drawer to work!
If you want to get creative, your favorite head scarf can work as a gag or way to tie up your partner with their consent, says ob-gyn and sex educator Dr. Terri Vanderlinde, MD.
"How you choose to use them all comes down to being present, mindful, and making sure each partner is committed to pleasure—their own and their partner's," she says.
Vanderlinde also recommends using that favorite silk shirt of yours. Next time you're taking it off while getting hot and heavy, wrap it around your partner's neck to pull them closer to you or use it to tie them up.
Bonus: Your partner will get turned on every time they see you wearing this out in public, too.
"One side is smooth and can be used for light spanks on the bum, while the other side is prickly, which will feel intense on an already spanked bum if dragged over it lightly," says Matatas.
"Or, it can be used on the back, inner thighs, or chest by dragging the hair brush in long strokes, adding pressure and checking in with your partner about what they like."
As a soft barrier between bodies and surfaces, "microfiber blankets are amazing," Morgan says. "Depending on what part of the body is being stimulated, you can rub against that and create comfortable texture."
"Pop some non-sharp stainless steel silverware in the fridge, and bring them out for an icy delight against your partner's skin," Matatas says. "Cold butter knives can give an intense sensation without risking breaking the skin."
Like the idea of getting all lubed up—but don't want the mess? Put some coconut oil or olive oil in a sandwich bag, and use it to stimulate your partner, or watch them use it to take care of himself, says sexuality counselor Eric Garrison.
Just be sure that if you ultimately decide to ditch the bag mid-stroke and go for penetrative sex, you’ll need to use a non-latex condom so that it doesn’t disintegrate in the oil you’ve used as lube.
Scent is another way to set the mood, Morgan says. After all, your bedroom is where you sleep every single night. "Transform it into a space that allows you to really sink into the sexual experience versus feeling like, 'Oh, alright, it's time to go to sleep now,'" she says.
This rose mist is light and floral (plus, it has over 1,700 five-star reviews).
"Face rollers can be used gently and sensually on small areas of the body that don't normally get attention, like the back of the thighs, under your breasts, and feet," Matatas says.
Use a textured bar of soap to massage each other in the shower, says Laino. Just a word of warning: putting soap in your vagina isn't a good idea, but feel free to get creative with where else you or your partner use this.
Wax play is hot— literally . But if you and a partner want to give it a shot, first have them lie on the bed while you hold a just-blown-out candle above your head. Allow a bit of wax to drip on your foot so you can test the temperature before scalding your lover.
All good? Keep it up high as you drizzle it on your partner's body. The wax’s long way down will cool it off in addition to upping the drama, says Garrison.
"It’s all in the mind," he says. "If your partner keeps telling him or herself it’s burning hot wax, they may be seriously turned on by that fear." The actual temperature can be your little secret.
If you’re a nipple clamp novice, Garrison recommends starting with something that's already in your desk drawer before springing for any high-priced items at a sex toy store: paper clips.
Simply clip them on to your nipples (or a partner's) the same way you would with normal clamps, and see if the sensation is something you're into.
Clothespins can also work in a pinch, says licensed sex therapist Rachel Wright. And, they can be used almost anywhere on the body, so get creative, she adds.
Expand your definition of "vibrator" to include a household item. Whether it’s a vibrating toothbrush or the blade-less end of a vibrating razor, wrap it in a plastic bag and have your partner press it against your clitoris. Or, try using it to tickle your partner's testicles and butthole, suggests Garrison.
(Just make sure to thoroughly wash it before it goes near anyone's mouth, adds Wright.)
If you're curious about trying bondage, don’t think you have to invest in ropes, whips, and chains. Instead, look in your S.O.'s closet or purchase an extra-long tie for just $10. "Ties work wonderfully for simple bondage," says Garrison.
Bonus: If you’re traveling with your lover, a tie can work double duty. "They could use the very same tie they wore to dinner," Garrison says. "You can have your own little dessert at home."
Create your own one-of-a-kind experience by rounding up your favorite physical actions, sex positions, or deep questions in a list. Then, roll a dice to decide where the night goes next, suggests Wright.
This set comes with seven dice that all have a different number of sides, so whether your list is short or long, it's all fair game.
Rubber gloves are ideal for scrubbing—but a pair with some texture can also be great for giving massages or for masturbation, Morgan says. This set is waterproof for easy cleanup (just make sure no one has a latex allergy, first!).
Bored with blindfolds? Try earplugs instead, suggests Wright. Or, use them together for extra sensory deprivation. That way, the brain only has a few ways to process what's happening.
"That can be a very exhilarating experience," Wright says.

Whether you realize it or not, there are many situations in which knowing how to convert household items into homemade sex toys is a real plus. Maybe you’re away from home and realize you’re without your favorite sex toy ; maybe things have gotten heated and you don’t have time to hunt for a vibrator ; maybe you’re looking to try a new kink without investing much money. Or maybe you just want to surprise your partner (or yourself).
Whatever the reason, Barbara Carrella , a certified sexologist and author of Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century, says a DIY sex toy (which she calls a pervertible) is never far: “Pervertibles are every day, non-erotic items that can be easily converted into sex toys. They can be found absolutely everywhere, and once you start finding them, it’s hard to stop seeing the erotic potential in all sorts of everyday items.”
We spoke to a variety of sex educators and experts about their top picks for unassuming everyday objects you can bring into your sex life, either with a partner or by yourself. While there’s no true replacement for a body-safe sex toy , Rae Chen, sex and beauty editor of TheNotice.net , tells SELF: “There are a lot of household items that can double as sex toys for the brave (or very, very horny). Ideally, I recommend using only new, clean items."
From spatulas to throw pillows, Carrellas says once you start looking for pervertibles, “you can expand your erotic imagination and increase your pleasure possibilities.” (And save money too.) Below, we’ve rounded up a few of the best homemade sex toys, as well as expert recommendations for how to safely enjoy them.

Ice cubes are a great gateway to the DIY sex toy game because they’re not messy and can easily be tossed down the drain if you’re not feeling it, Gigi Engle, resident sex educator at 3Fun and author of All The F*cking Mistakes: A Guide to Sex, Love, and Life , tells SELF.
As for how to employ the ice cubes, she says: “The nipples are a hot zone (pun intended). Run the cold object around your partner’s nipples and then over each one, taking note of how they respond. If they’re clearly enjoying themselves,
