Dildos 101: The Ultimate Guide To Finding The Best Dildo For You
If vibrators started the sexual pleasure game in modern times… 👠
The history of women using dildos dates back to 13–19.000 thousand years ago according to Wikipedia. 🐯
This is all great, but it also means that in current times the dildo market is more complicated than ever!
There are different materials, sizes, vibrating dildos…
There are dildos that focus on G-spot, beaded dildos, animal type dildos…
With suction cup, no cup, with vibrating modes or no vibrating modes…
It’s freaking complicated! 💥
But not to worry!
After you’re done with this guide, you will not only know what is the best dildo for you…
You’ll have full knowledge of the pros and cons of each choice.
You’ll make an informed decision!
Sounds good?
Here’s how the article is organized:
- 5 Things To Watch Out For When Choosing The Right Dildo For You
- Classic, Realistic Dildos: Best For Beginners
- Vibrating, Thrusting, Multi-Pleasure dildos
- G-spot Dildos & Beaded Dildos
- Huge Dildos (For Filling sensations)
The first section focuses on explaining the world of dildos.
The Second section categorizes different dildos and showcases the best dildos based on size, price, functionality.
I try to include always three choices — low-tier, medium, advanced/luxury dildo.
6 Things To Watch Out For When Choosing The Right Dildo For You
You want to make the right choice with the first purchase right?
Yeah, that’s what I want for you too.
That’s why this introduction is CRUCIAL! Don’t skip it!
#1 — Pick The Best Type of Material Dildo For You
You should be cautious of what you’re putting inside of you.
The best quick answer: Silicone is the safest option.
Avoid anything that has jelly, rubber, cyberskin, PVC materials…
Usually, you’ll find that the cheapest dildos make these shortcuts — that’s why they are so cheap.
These materials will smell weird and some have phthalates in them, which is not good for your body.
Plus the worst thing is that these are porous materials which means they cannot be shared or fully sanitized.
Yes, some people will use a condom on top of the jelly toy, but frankly, — better don’t go there unless you absolutely must.
The materials you should look at favorably:
- silicone — they are easiest to clean and if you enjoy soft/flexible kind of dildo, that’s what silicone has. They come in various densities from soft, firm and very squishy.
- Glass, metal, porcelain — if you like rock hard kind of pressure (usually for the G-spot stimulation), look for those materials.
There are still some issues you can run into if the toy is made from cheap glass or metal — so read the reviews.
Silicone is the safest, but if you’re buying from an unknown brand, make sure it’s 100% silicone.
#2 — Watch Out For Extra Functionality You Might Want
Okay, now let’s move to more practical questions.
There are tons of multi-purpose dildos, like rabbit vibrators, that stimulate both vaginally and clitorally at the same time.
What is the functionality you can expect?:
- suction cup for a hands-free experience
- thrusting, vibrating or rotating dildo
- Specially angled G-spot or beaded dildo
- squirting dildos — yes, you can insert the liquid in other end and get squirting/ejaculation experience too!
- Strapless strapon dildo (for a lady to use to fuck someone else)
- Different sizes, shapes like horse dildo, dog dildo, Bad dragon dildos.
Dildos with Suction Cup
Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. I review each product thoroughly and recommend only the very best.
For practical reasons I really recommend you find a dildo with a suction cup or at least a bigger core at the end of the dildo.
The bigger base will mean that you won’t accidentally lose it and a suction cup means that you could attach it to the floor, chair or even wall (for doggy style).
You can get both 100% hands-on and 100% hands-free experience with this functionality.
Thrusting, Vibrating or Rotating Dildos
If you like anything with a motor there are really tons of options.
This example below has triple functionality and those rabbit vibrators definitely hold a very special place for advanced users.
We’ll cover them later when taking a closer look at specific models.
#3 — The Budget: You Get What You Pay For
Now the budget.
The easy answer is that you can find good, cheap silicone dildo for $10–20 with basic functionality.
Meaning — simple dildo with a suction cup.
If you want something more advanced with a motor on it, or something that’s bigger than the average size you should expect to pay $50–100 for a good model.
Anything above $100 and you’re paying for a luxury design or a brand (like Lelo).
Bad Dragon toys, for example, come from $50–200 and more depending on the size of the toy.
But with that kind of toy, you can create a custom-design dildo perfect for you.
So those are the options.
#4 — What Size & Girth You Like The Most?
Only you can answer this question.
Think back of the most pleasurable sexual experience and try to think what contributed to it?
If you don’t know the size or girth you’re looking for just take a ruler and measure carrots, cukini’s, cucumbers.
Later when checking the specific dildos their sizing will mean a lot more to you.
Most women have reported to enjoy 7" to 8" length dildos.
Studies show that the average penis size for men is 5.1 to 5.6 inches (13 cm to 14.2 cm).
While it’s not all about the size, still getting a bit bigger than average is advisable.
Plus, watch this video for more advice on choosing the right dildo size:
Remember, you control the movements anyway ;)
Other points to think about is how squishy, hard is the dildo.
Most women report to love:
- when the head of the dildos is well defined and hard,
- the shaft itself is nice and soft,
- and the base is again hard and rigid
This kind of dildo would be defined as being close to the real thing as that’s how men’s penis feels like.
#5 — Are You Looking For A Realistic or Fantasy Type Huge Dildo?
Again this is the personal preference.
Just think about it.
Some women love dildo that mimics the real thing and find it arousing.
For other women the realistic look is actually intimidating and they look at how inviting, fun, interesting dildo looks like.
Plus, there is something appealing about the horse, dog, wolf’s shaped dildo… It feels dirty and the idea of kinkiness that some wild animal is fucking you can be especially arousing.
If you’re thinking about bigger size dildo, watch this video:
There are tons of people who love the dragon, fantasy type dildos, that are huge, uniquely shaped…
That’s probably not for beginners, but plain vanilla dildo can get old… And that’s when you start experimenting ;)
#6 — How Easy It Is To Clean & Maintain the Dildo
This is more important when picking the material…
But know that glass/metal can be easily thrown in the washing machine.
But for the most toys, you’ll need to find the right soap.
Usually, hand soaps or unscented dish soaps are all good for 100% silicone, metal or glass materials.
If there are no motors in the silicone toy you can boil them for 3–4 minutes to fully disinfect them.
With motors, you just need to stick to the soap and check if there are any special instructions for toy’s maintenance.
If you want to be super safe, buy this Shibari antibacterial Toy cleaner.
Okay with introductions out of the way, let’s go to the shop!

G-spot requires quite a strong treatment after all.
Prisms Glass G-spot Beaded Dildo ($22.08)
This model comes highly recommended by many happy users.
This is the toy you will use to make squirting reality and reach a lot more intense orgasms than with classical stimulation.
The only downside with glass is that you can drop it and break it, so be careful. It’s hand-crafted and made from borosilicate glass.
You’ll be able to use this dildo for both anal and vaginal stimulation.
Glass Gem Curved G-spot Dildo ($25.29)
This is both beautiful and extremely practical G-spot dildo.

Guys use it for prostate massage and ladies for G-spot stimulation.
Many people report that this toy arches just the right way to reach orgasm while all the other toys didn’t.
Yes, it’s more expensive, but you’ll use it forever.
The curve, the weight of this toy makes it super easy to focus on the pleasure and not to the process.
Vibrating, Thrusting, Multi-Pleasure Dildos
Now onto the most exciting part!
These dildos are for professional pleasure seekers — they pack a serious punch…!
Get one of them if you love receiving both internal and external stimulation at the same time.
You can also always just get a dildo and buy a vibrator separately. Up to you.

This toy comes in a discreet box and is #1 best-seller in the category.
People love it — it hits all the right spots, it’s waterproof and will give 3 hours of play before recharging.
It has 9 vibration modes and a quiet motor. A great buy.
360 Degree Rotating Rabbit Vibrator ($31.69)
This is another modification from rabbit vibrators.
If you want a dual stimulation — clit vibrator and thrusting vibrator at the same time — this is the toy.
This model comes with 7 different patterns and the shaft rotates at 3 different speeds. You can use only vibrations, only rotation or both at the same time.
It’s pretty impressive.
Lelo Soraya Rabbit Vibrator ($159.51)

This one has super unique bumps and curves that will create intense sensations. Plus, the suction is incredibly strong.
The curve is made to really target the G-spot well.
The tip is very stimulating, the only complaint from others is that this dildo could be longer and girthier.
#3–9" Padgene Dragon Dildo ($26.99)
