The search for the perfect dildo: Size really does matter

If hands-free play is a priority, a suction cup dildo might be the best choice. Finally, colour and design are personal preferences that add to the aesthetic appeal of your toy. By taking these factors into account, you can confidently select the perfect dildo to enhance your pleasure. Metal and glass dildos are excellent options for those who enjoy temperature play, as they retain heat and cold exceptionally well.

You can use a dildo in any way that brings you or your partner(s) pleasure—including externally, says Jessica O’Reilly, Ph.D., host of the SexWithDrJess Podcast and expert with Lovehoney. “You might slather it in lube and roll it across your lower back and thighs, or even use it as part of external temperature play,” she says. “Dildos can be an extremely fun addition to solo, partnered, or multi-partnered play, no matter the gender, sex, or sexual orientation of the person or people involved.“ Many top products such as the Lovehoney Curved Silicone Suction Cup Dildo fall in these categories.

The unique nodes and ridges are ideal for P-spot stimulation, but always use plenty of lube, insert slowly, and listen to your body to ensure gentle, comfortable exploration. For both body-safety and durability, look for medical-grade, platinum-cured silicone. This non-porous, hypoallergenic material resists bacteria , won’t degrade with water-based lubricants, and can be boiled (3–5 minutes) for sterilization—provided no electronics are embedded. Ovipositor dildos are more than toys—they’re passports to uncharted pleasure galaxies.

Vaginal dildos are sex toys designed to provide vaginal, and sometimes G-spot, stimulation. They may have more insertable length than a dildo designed specifically for anal play. Nonetheless, vaginal models can also be used for anal penetration as long as they have a flared base.

Its tapered shaft means anyone new to anal play can gradually become accustomed to the sensation until any discomfort is completely subsumed by pleasure. These types of dildos are designed for simultaneous penetration, making them perfect for couples play or solo sessions that require a little extra. At its widest point this dildo is only 1.1 inches in diameter.

Whereas a bulbous head is great for G-spot and prostate stimulation, as the girth of the head will provide extra pressure to those key areas with each thrust of the toy. Vac U Lock bases are most useful for large dildos that are too heavy to be held up by a suction cup. They’re also very useful for fucking machines as they grip tightly and aren’t as bulky as a full strap on harness. And anything longer than 8 inches or wider than 2 inches is an advanced sex toy, and you definitely want some experience before buying a toy this large. After sifting through 600+ dildos, we can confidently say the average size is around 6 inches insertable length and 1.5 inches of max girth.

We make sure that our packages are discreet, but that our toys‘ performance are anything but. These days, the possibilities of what you buy in the way of penetrative sex toys can seem daunting and endless. Luckily, we’ve broken it down into four categories to make your shopping experience a little bit easier. The width and length of previous penetration serves as a guide to know your ideal dildo size. This option can provide added peace of mind and protect your investment. Vixen, for example, provides a lifetime guarantee on your dildo provided you have the receipt for it.

If you are male and are looking for further stimulation, try out our range of cock rings. We’ve reviewed dozens of Lovehoney products, and the design language has always been impressive. For the Desire Luxury, the pony and penetrating shaft had a tapered body, making insertion straightforward. In addition, the pony’s bulbous shape enhanced retention, while the adjustable neck made it easy to get the right angle of penetration without both partners feeling uncomfortable. Away from the handle, Velvet Mini’s versatile design included a suction cup base (you can see the toy attached in the image above).

Additionally, you can boil toys, especially those made of silicone or stainless steel Inflatable Dildos, to disinfect them. The answer depends on where you are looking to use your vibrator. If you want to get buzzy beyond the room, for instance, in showers, a submersible vibrating dildo will do.
