Dildos are wonderfully simple, non vibrating toys, but there is enormous variation in how they look, feel and function.
Explore our carefully selected collection of silicone, glass and other body safe dildos, from slim and beginner friendly shapes to fuller sizes, realistic designs, curved styles, double ended dildos and harness compatible options. Size matters, but so do firmness, flexibility, texture and shape, and the best dildo is the one that suits the body and the kind of sensation wanted.
Dildos are wonderfully simple toys, but choosing one can involve more than picking a size. Shape, firmness, flexibility, texture and material can all make a significant difference to how a dildo feels.
How do I choose a dildo?
Start with size and sensation. Length matters, but girth often makes the bigger difference to how substantial a dildo feels.
Shape is important too. Straighter designs provide a different kind of pressure from curved dildos, while textured, ridged or realistic designs add more surface sensation.
For a first dildo, a smaller or medium sized design with some flexibility is often easier to explore.
Silicone, glass or stainless steel?
Silicone dildos range from very soft and flexible to surprisingly firm. Dual density silicone combines a softer outer layer with a firmer core for a more cushioned feel.
Glass and stainless steel dildos are rigid, making them useful when precise, targeted pressure is preferred. They can also be warmed or cooled for temperature play.
Whichever material is chosen, look for high quality, body safe and non porous materials that can be cleaned thoroughly.
What is a suction cup dildo?
A suction cup base allows a dildo to attach to a smooth surface for hands free use. Many suction cup dildos are also compatible with strap on harnesses, making them particularly versatile for solo and partnered play.
Can dildos be used anally?
Some can, but not every dildo is suitable for anal use. Anything used anally needs a sufficiently wide flared base or another design feature that prevents the entire toy from travelling inside the body.
A suction cup base may also act as a flared base, but always check the individual product before using it anally.
What is a harness compatible dildo?
Most strap on harnesses use an O ring to hold the dildo in place. Dildos with a wide, flat base are often harness compatible, but check the diameter of both the dildo and harness O ring to make sure they work together.
Some dildos are also designed specifically for strap on play, including double ended and strapless styles.
Choosing the right firmness
Softer isn't necessarily better, and neither is firmer. Soft silicone has more give and can feel comfortable when flexibility is important, while firmer materials provide more precise pressure with less movement.
This can be particularly relevant when choosing a curved dildo for targeted G spot or prostate stimulation.
