What is a realistic masturbator and why should you try one?

A realistic masturbator (or pocket pussy) is a device designed to accurately simulate intimate anatomy and the sensations of sexual intercourse. Unlike older rigid models, modern versions use advanced materials such as Cyberskin, TPE or silicone to mimic the softness and density of skin. The goal? To offer you an immersive experience where visual stimulation combines with high-fidelity tactile sensation.


Finally, the market has evolved towards more premium and aesthetically refined products. In this spirit, French brand ONY is reimagining the world of male sex toys with elegance and innovation, offering clean designs centred on wellbeing and sensory exploration.

1. Pure 2 (The benchmark for realism) Pure 2 takes the top spot thanks to its material, which mimics the sensations experienced during intimate contact. Pure 2 offers exceptional density and thermal responsiveness. Its internal structure creates a natural suction effect with each stroke, without a motor. It is the reference for simulation closest to the real thing.


2. Nomad by ONY (French innovation) In second place, the Nomad by ONY redefines the experience of the realistic masturbator. More than a masturbator, it is a design-led, discreet object that fits seamlessly into modern life. Its main strength lies in its "flip" design and interchangeable sleeves, ensuring impeccable hygiene. The Nomad focuses on realistic internal sensations and superior ergonomics.

Both realistic masturbators come with three interchangeable sleeves that deliver vaginal, oral or anal sensations… To explore every kind of pleasure!

Buying guide: finding the perfect realistic masturbator for you

Choosing your first realistic masturbator requires considering several technical parameters. Compatibility with your preferred type of stimulation should guide your purchase.

Materials decoded: silicone, TPE and their secrets

The material determines 80% of the experience and durability:

TPE / TPR: favoured for "ultra-realistic" models. This very soft material mimics skin texture and warms up quickly.

Silicone: excellent for durability. Non-porous and easy to clean, it lasts for years. Compatible only with water-based lubricants. Its texture is often firmer.

Cyberskin / SuperSkin: proprietary formulas of advanced elastomers, designed to reproduce skin texture and body warmth.

The masturbation sleeves that change everything

The major innovation in realistic masturbators lies in this system of interchangeable masturbation sleeves. In practice, instead of buying three different sex toys, some brands such as ONY offer sleeves with varied textures that you simply insert into the toy's body.


This is where the Nomad and Pure 2 models from ONY stand out. The brand offers the realistic masturbators Nomad and Pure 2 with 3 different sleeves for oral, vaginal and anal sensations.

Let's take the example of Pure and the 3 available sleeves:

  • Wave: oral sensations.

  • Pearl: vaginal sensations.

  • Fusion: anal sensations.

These masturbation sleeves let you vary your pleasures without multiplying your purchases.

Budget and shopping: investing wisely for premium pleasure

The realistic masturbator market shows significant price differences:

Entry level (£10 to £20): basic TPE, possible chemical smell, short lifespan. Best avoided for regular use.

Mid-range (£20 to £55): great value for money.

Premium range (£55 to £100+): premium materials, ergonomics, superior durability (1 to 3 years).

The cost per use of a premium model is therefore often lower in the long run, thanks to its durability.

Bonus: how to use and care for a realistic masturbator

Never use a masturbator dry. Friction without lubricant can damage the material and cause irritation. For silicone and TPE, always use a water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lubricants must be avoided as they degrade the surface of certain toys.


For a perfect glide that respects your body and the material, ONY's made-in-France lubricants guarantee an optimal, hygienic experience. Their water-based formula is designed to leave no sticky residue.

Cleaning and hygiene: look after your investment

After each use, thorough cleaning is required:

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Clean inside and out. Mild soap is not always sufficient for deep textures. Dedicated sex toy cleaners are also available.

Dry thoroughly (with a lint-free cloth) to prevent mould.

To ensure thorough cleaning without damaging the material, the sex toy cleaning foam from ONY eliminates bacteria and extends the lifespan of your toy.

Your questions about realistic masturbators, answered

Can a realistic masturbator be shared safely?

Sharing a realistic masturbator is strongly discouraged for obvious health reasons. The complex internal textures are difficult to sterilise completely.

Sharing an intimate accessory carries risks of STI and bacterial transmission, especially with porous materials such as TPE. The only safe method is to use a new condom every time. Otherwise, each partner must have their own accessory.

Are there any special precautions to take?

Yes, to ensure safety and comfort:

  • Allergies: check that the product is guaranteed phthalate-free. Silicone and certified TPE are generally the safest choices.

  • Lubrication: use a lubricant suited to the material (water-based recommended, especially with TPE) to avoid irritation and friction.

  • Area of use: never use on irritated or broken skin.

  • Storage: store your realistic masturbator in a dry place, away from light.
