Homemade Vibrators | How To Make Your Own?

Did you know you can get fabulous orgasms with a homemade vibrator? It may be tempting to buy a manufactured vibrator, but we actually recommend trying out a homemade one before you spend your hard-earned money. Whether you are on a strict budget or just thinking of how to arouse yourself, you can make a DIY vibrator ready for sexy play using items available in your home.

Depending on your level of craftiness, there are complex as well as simple homemade vibrators you can make. Whether simple or complex, your needs matter the most when choosing which type of handcrafted vibrator is right for you. 

You can make simple homemade vibrators in no time as cucumbers and a removable shower head is typically available in every home. Complex homemade vibrators entail a bit more knowledge and handy work but are just as fun to make. You can purchase most of the needed items like motors, batteries, and wires, to mention a few at your local hardware store.

In this article we will talk about everything you need to know about making homemade vibrators—but first, a few precautions.

Things To Know Before Using A Homemade Vibrator

Unlike other DIY sex toys, homemade vibrators may include items that can be harmful to your body. Making complex DIY vibrators will usually mean the use of specialized equipment, like a soldering gun for soldering wires. Proper handling is essential because you will be making a sex toy that has direct contact with your body. Therefore, practicing appropriate safety techniques is the key to healthy and safe arousal.

Hygiene

Practice good hygiene with your handcrafted vibrator to ensure good genital health. Try to disinfect after each use with an antibacterial toy cleaner. Proper cleaning and disinfecting will help to avoid bacterial infections as well as prolong the lifecycle of your pleasure toy.

Use Condoms

Condoms should be used with toys as they protect you from bacteria and infections. We strongly encourage you to use a condom with DIY vibrators to avoid introducing bacteria or foreign objects into your vagina or anus. Don’t be shy to add extra lubricant if you think the condom doesn’t have enough as this will help you to prevent potential injuries from friction.

Seek Help When Necessary

Complex homespun vibrators can be challenging to create if you don’t understand the involved equipment. Therefore, it is advisable to involve a knowledgeable and trustworthy friend to assist you when necessary.

Use Protection

When handling any kind of electrical equipment, you should always wear gloves and eyewear to protect your hands and eyes. Failure to protect yourself may lead to a health hazard, simple as that. You won’t be up for sexy time if you are injured, will you?

Get Creative By Converting These Common Household Items Into Sex Toys

Different items can vibrate, although not all of them are potential vibrators. As much as some of these items vibrate, they may not be safe for insertion.

The materials you use for making homemade vibrators should be body-safe, preferably from silicone, stainless steel, lucite, borosilicate glass while avoiding vinyl, PVC, rubber, and jelly.

Just google if you don’t know the item’s material that you’ll be using as a vibrator. Remember, using body-safe materials will protect you from possible injuries and infections.

Also, make sure your homemade vibrator has a wide base so it won’t get lost in you, and always use a condom for a safe experience.

Electric Toothbrush

Electric toothbrushes are great DIY vibrators because they vibrate just like factory-made vibrators. Because of their size, electric toothbrushes are best to use for both vaginal and anal stimulation. It goes without saying that you may use electric toothbrushes on the clitoris for self-arousal and delicious orgasms.

Sex enthusiasts also use electric toothbrushes as homemade dildos.

Standard Toothbrush

Apart from the vibrating electric toothbrush, a manual toothbrush can also be a great option when you find a way to make it vibrate. For example, you may attach an old phone and use the vibration application to make the manual toothbrush vibrate. Bet you didn’t think of that, did you?

You can also use your toothbrush to make an ideal DIY butt plug.

Electric Shavers

Electric shavers vibrate!!! Feel free to use the electric shaver either internally or externally to achieve sexual pleasure. Since shavers come in different sizes, you can easily find something that your vagina or anus can accommodate. Once you insert the handle of the electric razor, switch it on, and have fun! Just be sure to detach the razor head before use.

Subwoofers

Subwoofer speakers vibrate to produce bass. You can use that vibration to your sexual advantage by attaching an extended object such as a long wooden spoon to carry the vibration right to your vagina. You can listen to your favorite song and get a mind-blowing orgasm at the same time. Keep in mind that subwoofers deliver powerful vibrations; so you must be extra careful not to hurt yourself.

Mobile Phone

Like electric shavers, mobile phones can be great homemade vibrators for stimulating orgasmic pleasures. The phone should be small enough to avoid possible injuries. Always wipe the phone using an antibacterial toy cleaner to kill any bacteria and put a condom on it.

Once squeaky clean, access the settings and enable vibration. Now insert the phone slowly and enjoy your sexy moment. You may also use it as a vibrating massager for your genital area when considering extending your sex session.

Do not insert the phone into your vagina without including a handle. It’s a safety measure that you must adhere to. Alternatively, you may use it along with your partner and have them hold it for you as it vibrates. Now that’s a phone call you won’t rush to answer anytime soon!

Face Brush

There are different types of face brushes. Obviously, you will want to use the vibrating face brush. It works similarly to electric toothbrushes and electric shavers.

Removable Shower Head

Removable shower heads have long been used for masturbation thanks to vibrating patterns these can deliver when water is running. It’s a no-brainer DIY vibrator but it comes with increased risks. Namely, do not let excessive water into your vagina as it may wash away helpful bacteria. It goes without saying, use this DIY vibrator with care.

Washing Machine

Remember when Betty Draper almost made love to a washing machine in Mad Men? Well, you can’t blame her given the intensity of vibrations a washing machine offers. The vibration is actually more intense in older washing machines and that’s one of the best-kept secrets of many women.

For best results, try using different kinds of loads to establish the one that makes the machine vibrate the most. You might even throw a shoe inside the machine if that is what it takes to achieve intense vibrations.

When you achieve the right vibration intensity, you can sit on the washing machine and enjoy the ride to orgasm. Who knew chores like washing clothes can actually be fun?

Things To Remember When Making A DIY Vibrator

There are essential factors that you should consider when making DIY homemade vibrators:

Durability

Whether you are planning to use the vibrator for a short or extended period, the durability of your self-made vibrator is a key factor to keep in mind. This is essential if you don’t want to make DIY vibrators more frequently than desired.

In general, complex homemade vibrators will last longer while the simpler homemade vibrators are ideal for a shorter use period.

Safety

Different materials can work well when building a homemade vibrator but not all of them are safe to use. Besides sexual satisfaction, the safety of the homemade vibrator is crucial to your well-being. You should only use body-safe materials for your homemade vibrator as explained above and use them appropriately. 

Knowledge

Homemade vibrators can be complex sex toys to make because they may involve the use of electrical equipment. If you wish to make a more complex DIY vibrator, make sure you engage a person that understands the use of such specialized equipment and materials.

Size And Shape

Your preferences are vital to your satisfaction when creating your homespun vibrator. No doubt that you want to tailor it to your needs to achieve maximum pleasure!

The size and shape of your vibrator depend on your pleasure points. If you feel that you crave something more sizeable, a cucumber or an eggplant is a good choice. Just hollow out the cucumber or eggplant, place an electric toothbrush in it and ride the wave of vibration!

How To Make A Simple Vibrating Sex Toy

Here’s all you need to make a DIY vibrator that will guarantee mind-blowing orgasms. The best part of it is that most of these things can be found around the house, so you do not need to spend any extra money.

  • Toothbrushes
  • Electric Shaver 
  • Old cell phone
  • Masking tape

Directions

1. Take the toothbrush and place it at the back of the cell phone.

2. Use the masking tape to bind the toothbrush to the cell phone.

3. Make sure you suspend an extended section of the toothbrush to use as a handle.

4. When the homemade vibrator is ready, go to the settings application, disable any sound, and enable vibration.

5. Find some privacy and enjoy your homemade vibrator.

How To Make A Complex Vibrator

You’ll need the following items if you opt for the more technical option:

  • Marker pen
  • Nut
  • Switch
  • Battery
  • Battery Cap
  • Electrical glue gun with glue
  • Wired motor
  • Driveshaft

Directions

1. Use the electric glue gun to join the drive shaft of the motor.

2. Take the wired motor and join it to the nut through the motor’s driveshaft using an electrical glue gun and let it dry. The nut helps in controlling the speed at which the motor can run.

3. Join the motor to the battery cap through wires and cut any live wire point to create space for the switch.

4. Join the live wire to the switch terminals. Now, the motor, switch, and battery cap should be a complete unit.

5. Take the battery cap and fit it suitably to the battery. At this point, you should be able to have the motor run upon the ignition of its switch.

6. Take the marker pen, with its lid maintained, and form a smooth but pointed curve on one end using electrical glue (to smoothen the sharp edges of the used marker pen). Your electrical glue gun should be helpful in this step. Allow it to dry.

7. On the other end of the used marker pen (preferably the lid section), add a little electrical glue. Take the used marker and stick it to the motor’s frame, forming a right angle with the edge. Let it dry.

8. As of now, your DIY homemade vibrator should be completed. You will want to make sure it works first before inserting it.

Advantages Of Self-Made Vibrators

Many people will choose homemade vibrators over factory-made vibrators because of their many advantages. Here is why making your own vibrator is a great idea.

Affordable

If you are on a strict budget and cannot afford to buy a factory-made vibrator, homemade vibrators will be an excellent option for you. These DIY vibrators use materials that cost you less money and are readily available.

Customizable

One of the most alluring advantages of creating your vibrator is that you have complete autonomy. You have the freedom to choose the size, shape, texture, etc., and availability to adapt the vibrator further to your liking as you discover what pleases you best.

Multi-Purpose

Homespun vibrators consist of items that can be easily found at home when you are in the mood to play around. Such items are not necessarily of no use other than being converted into vibrators. For example, your electronic toothbrush can still serve for brushing teeth before bedtime and a vibrator to stimulate your clit while you’re in bed.

The same applies to your electric razor. You may use it to shave in the morning and to achieve explosive orgasms moments later. This approach saves you the money you may spend buying a separate vibrator from a traditional sex store.

Wrapping-up

Homemade vibrators are inexpensive and readily accessible. You can make a DIY vibrator from the convenience of your own private space and tailor it to your personal sexual preference. Of course, you may have to purchase some materials if you choose to make a more complex homemade vibrator. Whichever your choice, you will be able to customize your vibrator to your needs and get mind-blowing orgasms without fail – for nights on end!
