What Is a Masturbation Cream?

Masturbation cream is a lubricant with a thick, cream-like consistency built for solo play by hand. Where a water-based gel thins out and dries, a cream stays put, cushions and keeps its glide for the whole session. Most are water-based or hybrid so they wash off easily, and a few carry a cooling or warming ingredient for extra sensation.

It is a category blokes discover late and then never go back from. Our masturbation cream range covers about ten tubes, from the $29 Wicked classic that outsells everything else to premium 236ml tubes for regulars.

Are Masturbation Cream Right for You?

If most of your solo sessions are by hand, a masturbation cream is a better tool than the lube you use for everything else: thicker, longer-lasting and made for exactly that grip. It also works in strokers, though a thinner lube is easier to rinse from a sleeve.

It suits blokes who find standard lube too thin or too quick to dry, anyone who wants a long session without reapplying, and blokes who like a sensation product for solo play. It sits alongside the lube guide for partnered sex and the strokers guide for toys.

The honest trade-off is that creams are not made for partnered penetration or condoms, and hybrids should stay off silicone toys. They also cost more per millilitre than a basic gel, though you use far less.

Types of Masturbation Cream: Which One Suits You?

Masturbation cream comes in three types, and the difference is thickness and extras: classic creams, premium long-lasting creams, and sensation creams with a cooling or warming edge.

Classic masturbation cream

Thick, silky and easy to wash off. The Masturbation Cream 120ml is the tube that outsells every other lube in the store; the Masturbation Cream Twin Pack is the same cream as a twin pack, and the Adam & Eve MASTURBATION CREAM 148 ml Tube is Adam & Eve's gentler take.

Premium long-lasting cream

Denser formulas for marathon sessions. Swiss Navy's Masturbation Cream 150ml is a rich hybrid cream; Admiral's Premium Masturbation Cream 236ml and Masturbation Cream Tube 236ml are the big 236ml tubes regulars settle on.

Sensation creams

Cooling or warming moisturisers made for solo play. Sensuva's Arctic Chill Cooling Personal Moisturizer 2oz chills and its Heat Wave Warming Personal Moisturizer 2oz warms; both are thinner than a classic cream and closer to a rich lotion.

Bundles

Wicked's Wicked Male Lube Bundle pairs the cream with a water-based lube so you have the right product for hand and toy. Good value if you own a stroker.

How to Choose Your First Masturbation Cream

Choose in this order: thickness, then wash-off, then size, then sensation. The classic cream is right for most blokes; the rest is preference.

1. Thickness: cream for hand, gel for toys

The point of a cream is that it stays in your hand. If you split time between hand and stroker, the Wicked Male Lube Bundle bundle gives you a cream for one and a lube for the other.

2. Wash-off: water-based or hybrid

Water-based creams such as the Masturbation Cream 120ml rinse off with water. Hybrids like the Masturbation Cream 150ml last longer but need soap, and they should stay away from silicone toys.

3. Size: 120ml to try, 236ml to keep

A 120ml tube lasts weeks because a little goes a long way. Regulars move to the Premium Masturbation Cream 236ml or the Masturbation Cream Tube 236ml and pay less per millilitre.

4. Sensation: only if you want it

Cooling and warming creams add a tingle or a glow to a solo session. Try the Arctic Chill Cooling Personal Moisturizer 2oz if you already like cooling lube; otherwise the classic is the safer first buy.

Materials & Body-Safety

Water-based masturbation creams are purified water thickened heavily with cellulose or carbomer, with glycerine or propanediol for slip and often aloe for feel; they are body-safe and rinse off with water. Hybrid creams add a little silicone for longevity: still body-safe, but keep them off silicone toys.

Sensation creams add menthol for cooling or a botanical warming agent, so patch-test if you are sensitive. None of these are made for condoms or partnered penetration; use a proper lube for that. Every tube here lists its ingredients.

How to Use a Masturbation Cream

Squeeze out a small amount, about a pea, and warm it between your fingers. It spreads into a silky layer that stays put; add a little more only if the glide fades, which takes far longer than with a gel.

For a stroker, a thin water-based lube is easier to rinse from the sleeve, but a cream works if you clean the toy straight after. A cooling or warming cream adds sensation to a solo session in the first minute.

Keep the tube capped and close by. Clean-up is warm water for water-based creams and soap for hybrids.

Care, Cleaning & Storage

Cap the tube after use and keep it out of the sun; creams keep for a year or two once opened. Wipe the nozzle so the cream does not crust.

Water-based cream washes off skin with water and off toys with a toy cleaner. Hybrid cream needs soap. Bin a tube that separates, changes colour or smells off.
