(Hint: Yes, You Can)
Do you often find yourself longing for a sex toy that can make your most sensitive parts tingle? The vibrator is one of the best adult products that can do exactly that. However, if you’re pressed for time or are handy with tools and electronics, then a DIY vibrator is not an idea that’s out of reach.
Those who are wondering how to make a homemade vibrator will find a lot to learn in this article. Yes, you can actually build your own vibrator using a motor and common household items. The best part of making a vibrator at home is having the exact size and features you’d want at a fraction of the cost of a commercial adult toy.
So put your safety goggles on, wear your protective gloves, and let’s begin.
Making Your Vibrator at Home- Getting Started
The benefits of making a homemade dildo, much less a vibrator for sexual pleasure, won’t be apparent at first. You can actually get a high-quality vibrator or dildo that’s safe and has all the features you need to orgasm. Plus, you won’t have to spend as much time building one. What’s the deal with a homemade vibrator anyway?
The process of making a personalized, DIY vibrating egg or dildo is rewarding in itself. You are making a sex toy that has your personal stamp on it. If you’ve done some DIY before then a homemade vibrator should be a walk in the park. Also, there are various resources on the internet, including videos and tutorials on how you can repurpose a motor or 3D print a phallic device, for example.
Central to the DIY sex toy theme is using items you can find lying around the house. For example, a toothbrush, hair brush, and even a massager can be considered household items to use as a vibrator. Shift your mindset from domestic to sexual and you’ll undoubtedly find a few items that will work as a vibrator or dildo.
You may need to look around the house or garage for particular tools and items, like batteries, wires, and a glue gun, but it’s nothing a trip to the local store can’t fix. That said, let’s proceed to the four methods you can use to make your very own homemade vibrator.
Method 1. 3D Print a Vibrator
To start, you can create a vibrator design using software or an app. You’ll have the freedom to make it the exact shape or size depending on your preference. As for the texture, you can put a nice layer of body-safe silicone or rubber coating to make it more fun to use.
Then, choose the 3D printing material. TPU is often the preferred material for sex toys, and for good reason. It’s flexible and offers a nice sensation inside and out. Other materials for consideration include ABS or PLA plastic, and each one has its own pros and cons. Load the chosen material into the 3D printer and feed the machine your design.
Once the mold is cast, feel free to add a motor to make it vibrate, as well as a skin that will make contact with your erogenous zones. You might need to inspect the surface first and remove any imperfections and make it smooth. Use the appropriate sanding tool and glue it onto the print to complete the process. If you wish to add more features, feel free to tinker with other electronics but you should have a guide or tutorial video handy.
Pros
- The size and shape you want
- 3D printing can save time
- Looks better and might perform better
Cons
- Software familiarity a must
- Still needs a motor and the know-how to install it
Method 2. Create Your Own Homemade Vibrator
This method is best for those who want to get down to the brass tacks, the inventors, and DIY’ers.
The process of making your own vibrator is this- you start with a base material, e.g., any item that can hold its shape well and won’t deform. Take a look around the house for such things, including a hairbrush, cans, a thick pen, or something similar. It can even be a non-phallic shape as vibrators tend to work on other erogenous zones besides penetration. A toy egg or LED lamp will work in this regard.
A homemade vibrator isn’t a vibrator unless it you know, vibrates. The central part of making it work is a motor that you can put inside the device. To solve this, you can either go out and buy a small motor in a hobby shop or find a household item that does the same. Repurpose an old or non-used device by removing the screws and the connecting wires. Stay safe and be mindful of potential hazards along the way.
Coat the item with a condom or a silicon layer, then secure it using glue or a rubber band. You will also need a place where the motor will rest- create a small enclosure so it would fit snugly inside.
Body-safe materials are preferred over ordinary ones for safety reasons. You can also create your own motor using a magnet, some coils, and wires, but this will lengthen the time to make a homemade vibrator.
It’s best to test your vibrator first to acclimate with the device before you go all-out. Give it a small stress test and see if any parts fall out. The motor and battery has to be completely secured for it to work as a DIY sex toy.
Pros
- A cheaper alternative
- Made from things you have lying around
- Fun and rewarding project
Cons
- Might be flimsy
- Best used as a temporary sex toy
Method 3. Use a Vibrator-Like Device
A simple shift in how you see a household item can work wonders in identifying potential sex vibrators in your house. So instead of going through the trouble of fitting in a motor or 3D printing a sex toy, you can just ‘repurpose’ them to satiate your sexual thirst.
You can start your search for a homemade vibrator by looking at items that vibrate. An electric toothbrush, a massager, or a children’s toy are good examples of a DIY vibrator in the making. The same can be said for speakers and things that put out pressure, e.g., a showerhead.
It can be a fun activity to go from room to room seeking out possible DIY vibrators. Keep an open mind and think of the ways you can use every item you see. Hold each thing in your hand to see if the vibration it produces is enough to stimulate the skin.
To this end, you can put a condom over the item and use it as a sex toy vibrator. Afterward, make sure to clean it and put it back where you found it. Finding a new DIY vibrator every play in itself is fun as each can offer different sensations.
As a side note, you can turn a household item into a fully-fledged sex toy by keeping the shape or function the same and modifying it to suit your needs. If this is the case, then you can keep it as your sex toy and not have to revert it back to its original function. Regardless of whether you add a silicone skin or condom, you will have to keep it clean by washing the vibrator after every use.
Pros
- Can be a ‘spur of the moment’ sex toy
- Fast and easy to do
- Different sensation each time
Cons
- Still need lube
- Cleaning after use required
Method 4. Bonus- Make a Dildo in Just Two Minutes
Dildos and vibrators often overlap each other when it comes to being sex toys, and if you can make a homemade vibrator then you can also build your own dildo.
Making a DIY dildo is easier since you won’t have to worry about putting a motor to make it vibrate. In this regard, you can use even fruits and vegetables as long as they won’t squish or turn to mush. Cucumbers, unripened bananas, and carrots are prime examples of a homemade dildo. Feel free to check your own house for items that can double as sex toys.
A new condom and lube is still needed if you want to turn an everyday item into a dildo. Choose a phallic shape with a smooth surface, which you wrap with a condom until the insertable part is safe. Pour a generous amount of lube, relax, and let the fun begin. If it’s food then you wouldn’t want to use it again- throw it in the bin for hygiene’s sake.
Step 1. Find a suitable item to use as a dildo. Do a quick inspection to make sure the surface doesn’t have sharp bumps.
Step 2. Put a condom over the item and secure with a rubber band. Make sure it covers the whole surface of penetration.
Step 3. Apply some lube and spread it over the surface. Relax and do some foreplay and get yourself wet.
Step 4. Once comfortable, do your thing and achieve orgasm. Throw the item away or wash it, then put it back where it belongs.
Pros
- Great for quickies
- Cheap and effective
Cons
- Doesn’t vibrate
- Poses a few risks
