The Handy 2 Masturbator: Which Model Is Right for You?
The Handy 1.1 was our best-selling masturbator for years – and for good reason. Now The Handy 2 and The Handy 2 Pro have arrived, and this is far more than a minor upgrade.
If you're interested in the The Handy 2 masturbator but can't decide which model to go for, this article is exactly what you need. We're cutting straight to the point – we'll walk you through all three models, show you a clear comparison table and help you decide which one belongs in your basket.
What is The Handy and how is it different from a regular masturbator?
The Handy isn't just a masturbator. It's a smart, motorised device that moves for you. It connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, syncs in real time with videos, VR content and even a partner at a distance. You set the speed and stroke length yourself, or hand over control and simply enjoy.
The brand is built on Scandinavian engineering, and discretion is baked in from the start: it works without an account and without sharing data, thanks to an anonymous connection.

The Handy 1.1: the reliable classic
The original The Handy 1.1 masturbator is the model that built the brand's reputation – and it still deserves it. A powerful brushless motor, stroke length of 0–110 mm and up to 600 strokes per minute: enough to convince even the biggest sceptic. VR-compatible, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a full experience throughout.
One thing to know upfront: it runs on mains power, so it stays plugged in during use. The upside is that it never runs out of charge, and it's more affordable while still delivering the full The Handy experience. If you want a tried-and-tested, reliable option and a cable doesn't bother you, this is a great choice.
The Handy 2 masturbator: the wireless revolution
The Handy 2 masturbator picks up where the classic left off – and according to user feedback, it improves on almost everything. The main change: it's finally wireless. A built-in battery with fast charging via USB-C provides the power, but it can also run on mains if you prefer. Your choice.
The stroke length has increased to 125 mm, making the movement deeper and more realistic, the motor is stronger and quieter – and that matters more than you'd think when discretion is important. This is also where the magnetic ClickOn system arrives for swapping sleeves in seconds. It's also compatible with Fleshlight. The built-in mount allows hands-free use, and the transparent LED display shows speed, mode and battery level at a glance. For most people, this is the right choice.
The Handy 2 Pro: when you want the maximum
The Handy 2 Pro masturbator does everything the standard model does – only significantly more. The difference isn't just cosmetic: the Pro's battery lasts considerably longer, around 5 hours compared to roughly 1 hour for the standard model. The motor is more powerful and the premium bearings ensure smoother, more durable performance over time.
The headline feature is turbo mode – also known as overclocking – which pushes the speed up to 800 mm/s. That's an extreme level of intensity: bear in mind that using it may affect your warranty, so activate it with full awareness. The Pro also comes in a sleek stealth black finish. If you want long sessions, serious performance and to get the absolute most out of your VR experience, the Pro is your device.

So which The Handy model should you choose?
Let's keep it simple. If you want a proven classic at a better price and a cable isn't an issue, The Handy 1.1 is still an excellent buy. If you want a modern, wireless experience with a longer stroke and quieter performance – which is the right answer for most people – The Handy 2 is the one. And if top performance, long battery life and turbo mode are your priorities, especially if you're a serious VR user, The Handy 2 Pro is your device.
One last tip, small but important: whichever model you choose, the right lube makes all the difference. A generous amount of water-based lubricant makes every session better – smoother, softer and longer-lasting.
