[Popular Science] Difference between through and non-through masturbation cups and their advantages and disadvantages

Written by: Bestvibe Published on March 04,2025

Preface

As a review blogger who has used over 50 masturbation cups, I'm often asked: "Which one should I choose?

This is called the "sweet and salty dispute" in the male sex toy industry, many people think it is simply the difference between one end and the other, in fact, the doorway here is very deep.

So which one is better?

Today I am going to talk to you in detail about the pros and cons of both straight and inverted bullet cups!

  • Pass-through masturbation cup: As the name suggests, this is a design where the top and bottom of the masturbation cup are completely open (imagine the shape of a water pipe). The fluid can flow freely during use, and some of the high-end models also have a vibration module and temperature control function.

  • Non-through masturbation cup: the top is sealed, similar to a thermos with a handle. The interior is specially designed to simulate the sensation of real contact through physical structure.

Advantages of non-through masturbation cup 

  • High playability: the mainstream play such as vacuum suction method, helicopter method can only use non-through cup.
  • Most of the masturbation cups are designed in such a way that the non-through experience is generally better than through, so the simulation of non-through masturbation cups is more realistic.
  • Non-through flesh wall is generally thicker, can perfectly wrap the penis, in withstand strong impact at the same time, so you can not feel the outline of the finger.
  • Non-through the cup is generally heavier, solid material, so more design, but also the appearance of the design details.
  • Because it is more manual, it is very stealthy and can be used in dormitories and bedrooms;

Non-through masturbation cup disadvantages

  • not easy to clean, non-through the cup on a mouth, the more design inside the more bad wash, you have to use your hands or cleaning rod slowly scrub, more fingers with great force, the cup entrance are likely to crack.
  • Weight, this is the advantages and disadvantages, the heavier the cup in general, the better the experience, but the more force is needed, if you have not shot, the hand is sore, it is really not stop, not stop is not...
  • High price, not through generally more design, more solid materials, so the price is very expensive.
  • Need artificial heating before use, otherwise it will feel in the ice cave;

Advantages of Through Type Masturbation Cup

  • It is easy to clean, because the through model masturbation cup has two openings, so it can be rinsed directly with water, not afraid of residue.
  • The cup body is light, less weight, no effort, can be used for a longer time.
  • Part of the through models of masturbation cup is transparent, you can see your penis inside in and out, have this hobby is still good.
  • Affordable price, the price is generally lower than the non-through type masturbation cup.

Disadvantages of through type masturbation cup

  • When you shoot, you have to hold back and find something to cover it, because there are two openings, and there is a risk of shooting out directly.
  • Insufficient play, unlike non-through cups, there are various ways to play.
  • Fewer styles, the mainstream of the market is still non-through, it's a better experience, people like it more, so there are fewer and fewer of them still developing through.
  • Lubricant is easy to overflow, poor airtightness

Selection Guide

These people are for through and through: sensitive players, students/renters, health care professionals.

These people are suitable for non-through: veteran drivers to challenge the limit, the pursuit of anthropomorphism, special fetishists.

For everyday use, I personally recommend a non-through masturbation cup!

But it's still important to adjust the way you use it according to your body's response, after all, even the best tool needs someone who knows how to handle it.
