How to Choose the Best Dildo

Choosing the right dildo is a Goldilocks situation; too little won’t hit the spot; too much is overwhelming. You want to think about specific features you might desire in a dildo, such as size, shape, material, color, texture, suction cup, and whether you want it to fit into a harness. Think of your sex toys as tools that all function to do different things.

 



Size

Size is one of the most essential features to think about when choosing a dildo. It all comes down to personal preference. If you have experienced any type of penetration that has been pleasurable, try to ‘guesstimate’ the size of the objects, fingers, penis, cucumber, or whatever it was that you liked or know you didn’t. That will help you choose! 

Girth

Girth (thickness) and insertable length are other essential factors. Remember, you don’t have to ever insert the dildo in its entirety. Playing with the tip or the first few inches can be really pleasurable. 

Materials

Look for body-safe materials such as glass, metal, silicone, and hard plastics. They are nonporous materials and easy to clean. We recommend avoiding jelly rubber because they contain a chemical called phthalates that are considered toxic materials.
 

Wicked Tip: Use good quality lubricant: Dildos have more friction than the skin, so we recommend having a good quality lubricant at your bedside table. Using a lubed-up toy can enhance sensation! We love Hathor Pure Lubricant Pure with Horny Goat Weed – horny goat weed is a natural aphrodisiac.
