A dildo is the most adaptable toy in the drawer: no motor, no batteries (unless you want them), and a shape for almost every use. The type you pick changes the sensation far more than the colour does, so this guide walks through the main shapes and materials and how to choose.
Material first
- Glass — the borosilicate glass dildo is borosilicate, which holds temperature, wipes clean and lasts for years. Glass is the easiest material to sanitise.
- Realistic TPR — the 7.6 inch realistic dildo and the curved G-spot dildo are soft, flexible and read as skin. They are the usual first buy for people who want a lifelike feel.
- Inflatable — the inflatable TPR dildo uses a hand pump so you build girth gradually; good for anyone unsure where they fit.
- Curved — the remote curved dildo targets the G-spot; the curve does the aiming for you.
Shape: what each one is for
- Double-ended — the bendable double-ended dildo and the double-ended strap-on dildo work for two people at once, with or without a harness.
- Strap-on — the strap-on dildo with harness adds an adjustable harness so the wearer can use it hands-free.
- Thrusting and rotating — the thrusting and rotating dildo does the motion for you and recharges over USB.
- Suction base — most realistic and curved models stick to a flat surface for hands-free use.
Size and fit
Start smaller than you think. A 7.6 inch realistic model such as the 7.6 inch realistic dildo is a sensible first size; length matters less than girth and base safety. Any dildo used anally must have a flared base or a harness connection so it cannot travel — none of the suction-cup models here are an exception.
Care
Body-safe TPR washes with warm water and mild soap and should be stored dry, away from other soft toys. Glass is boilable and bleachable. Water-based lubricant only with TPR; glass tolerates any lube. Retire anything with tears or a tacky surface.
Safety
Listen to your body — pain means stop, not push. Use plenty of lube, go slow, and keep a flared base between you and any risk. Clean before and after, and never share without sanitising first.
FAQ
Is glass safe as a dildo?
Yes, if it is genuine borosilicate glass like the spiral design here. It is non-porous, easy to sanitise, and strong enough for normal use; avoid it if it is chipped or cracked.
What size dildo should a beginner buy?
Around 6–7.5 inches with moderate girth. Length matters less than comfort and a safe base; you can size up once you know your preference.
Can I use a dildo anally?
Only with a flared base or harness connection. Every anal dildo here has one — never use a toy anally if it lacks that safety stop.
