When it comes to pleasuring yourself, you may not always be prepared when the mood hits. You may not have your toy collection ready, maybe you’re all ready to go, but you realize you forgot to pick up new batteries? Maybe you’re too embarrassed to walk into a store and buy a vibrator or to buy one online? Maybe you’re on vacation and didn’t want to take the risk of having airport security rummage through your bag and find your vibrator as happened to this lady!

Your Home Made Vibrator Options
-
Personal Massagers
Hands down your best option. Personal massagers work well as vibrators and they’re super discreet because you have an alibi, your sore shoulders/neck/whatever needs some attention!
Some will be onto your game, but not all.
The personal massager is a common item for those who want to relax at the end of the day. If you stand all day, twist, turn, bend, etc. it’s common to see these laying around. Simply turn it on, massage your body, relax, and go further when ready. There are some ‘personal massagers’ that are very popular for this activity, such as the very well known and popular Magic Wand. They are super discreet but they might have too much power for some.

Electric Toothbrush
This is one of the most popular methods and techniques when it comes to homemade vibrators. It’s an item many people already have, and if you do not have one already you can pick one up starting around $5 at most supermarkets. People will simply think that you have decided to take your oral hygiene to a new level, which is a bonus of course!
When using as a masturbation tool, you should use a condom to cover it to ensure safety and that it is sanitary. After all, the toothbrush’s purpose focuses around bacteria. If possible, you should use an electric toothbrush that has a detachable head (brush).
Depending on the one you get, it may be water resistant or waterproof enough to use in the shower, but not recommended to submerge (such as in a bath) due to the battery compartment.
-
Washing Machine or Dryer
When it comes to the mood hitting and you have no toys around, the washer or dryer will work in a pinch to provide a certain amount of vibration. When it comes to this option, older models are best as they often provide the most amount of vibrations and rumbling.
Simply lock the laundry room door to provide privacy, turn the washing machine or dryer on and do your thing. Setting it on spin cycle tends to work well, but for a variation you can try it on hand washables, large load and extra rinse cycles too. When it comes to the dryer, just put in a load with a few items, or add in some larger items for a banging good time!
Keep in mind that the washer and dryer could have bacteria, so it is best to clean it down first, or wear panties when sitting on it. For an added sensation, you could use a homemade dildo (carrot, banana, etc.) while sitting on the washer or dryer to really send you over the edge, but don’t lose your balance.
-
Cell Phone on Vibrate
This is another popular option; some people enjoy the slight vibration that a phone can add to their masturbating. However, there are people who do not find the vibration strength or length of vibration to be worth the effort. This is something you would have to try to find out if it’s the right homemade vibrator for you.
If you choose to try this option, like an electric toothbrush it contains a bunch of bacteria and should be covered with a condom. Then, place it on your clitoris and hold it in place, or use your legs to hold it while you call yourself, and repeat.
There are also people who have tied a string to the phone, and then inserted it. However, this is not recommended due to many, many reasons.
-
Removable Shower Head
If you really need to get off and don’t have an electric toothbrush or the washer and dryer are not available options, opting to get a removable shower head works too. This is also a popular go-to method for teenage girls because it’s easy to use without suspension.
They make all types of removable shower heads, some are single setting while others have all sorts of functions simply by twisting the dial. If you have a multi-function shower head, this gives you even more options to customize your discreet play time. Common spray patterns include a light spray, heavy spray and pulsating/massage.
-
Base Speakers
When it comes time and you don’t have the proper toys, and lack the other things in this list one common household item that provides varied vibrations is speakers, especially subwoofers. With this technique, the bigger the speaker, the better!
You just have to straddle the speaker or subwoofer, turn on some music and let the fun begin. For the best results, it should be music with heavy bass, such as hip-hop or rap. If you are able to use Bluetooth, flash drives or burn a CD and really want to customize your experience, get online and find the right audio!
Songs like Beastie Boys or other hard hitting tracks are ideal, but they also have various ‘base tester’ clips available that are designed specifically for pushing a whole lot of base through your subs. Instead of waiting on the baseline of songs, which can be frequent, or scattered which create a unique vibration pattern, the base testers are constant patterns. If you want a bold, hard session, this is the way to go!
If someone asks, you’re just testing the capabilities of your subwoofers. Talk about discreet.

Vibrating Stuffed Animals or Toys
What can we say, when you’re a teen and curious or wanting to experiment safely and discreetly, you get creative. One method used by many, includes innocent looking stuffed animals with a vibrating feature. One of the more popular being the Tickle Me Elmo which vibrates when ‘tickled’. Basically, it senses the touch and starts laughing, which also creates a vibration.
The idea is, when rubbed between the legs it triggers the vibration, but depending on the stuffed animal there may be a button to squeeze. This also works with other types of toys that produce vibrations, so get creative!
Keep in mind, when activated the Tickle Me Elmo or other toys commonly produce sounds, such a laughing Elmo or rumbling, etc. While a rumbling sound may be easier to ignore during your session, some may find it hard to concentrate with a constant laughing between the legs. But, if you’re focused enough to climax with the sounds of Elmo laughing, we salute you.
-
Vacuum
This is another common household product that has been converted into an adult play thing, by both men and women. The extensions (hoses, not brushes) can be used for a couple things. For women, applying it to the clit creates a massive suction which many find pleasurable. Men have been known to use it as a discreet masturbation tool as well, by humping it. That’s basically the extent of this method. I haven’t tried it personally and don’t particularly want to, it scares me!
-
Exfoliation Machine
Recently, the beauty and skin care industries have introduced these machines for exfoliating. They provide a discreet way to play around and would not raise any concerns or suspicions by having one either. After all, skin care is a major concern, right?
There is another added benefit to using this product, it’s waterproof! That means you are able to easily take it with you in the shower as well. To be considered completely serious over skin care, exfoliating every part of your skin only makes sense, right? We thought you might agree.

Hair Clippers
Alright ladies, if all else fails, raid the cabinets for those hair clippers! This one is simple, you just turn the bad boy on and place the back against your clitoris and let the vibrations take a hold of you. You should ensure to sanitize it before (and after), or use a condom. Note: By the end, we mean the part you hold of course. Trust us, you do not want to place the business end against your clit…
So if none of the above options suit, egg vibrators can be inexpensive and discreet.
