How to Buy a Dildo That's Right for You

There are so many different kinds of dildos that finding that perfect one to get you moaning and cumming can be disorientating. Since you can't really take a dildo for a test-session, it's an investment that you have to make knowing that it might not pan out too well. We hope that we can help you out in your sexy quest to find that great dildo to make you oh-so-happy ;)


The great news about dildo browsing and buying is that you are in complete control and can be as choosy as you want. Because the sex toy market is so well diversified in terms of production with respect to dildos, you can get virtually any kind, shape, and material that you could want. They even have dildos made of stone!

1. Know Your Vagina

This one seems like an obvious point, but because dildos are tailored to all kinds of needs, it's best to know your vagina well before you even begin browsing for dildos. First of all is what kind of dildo you want in terms of size. If you like a bigger sized penis in life, chances are you'll want something bigger like the Fun Factory Big Boss. If you're like me and prefer something more moderately sized (that I can pound in and out of myself faster), then you might prefer something like the Tantus Echo. Know your size and how firm you like it -- there are softer and harder toys as well, and they make for a very different sensation!

2. Figure Out What Textures You Would Like

Since there are so many dildo varieties available, you have to decided what kind of texture you would like. There realistic dildos like the Tantus Cowboy Scout, that are firmer and shaped like a realistic penis; these definitely make for a 'masturbate until you clutch the sheets moaning' sessions. There are other dildos that elicit the same response, like the Tantus Silk Dildo. But beyond anything remotely phallic, there are great toys like the nJoy Pure Wand that make you cum like no other. Look around for different textures, something that you would like to slide in and out of your wet vagina -- something that turns you on and makes you feel naughty. There's also automated thrusting dildos like the Fun Factory Stronic Eins. If you pick it out and it looks good, chances are you'll like it a lot!

3. Think About Different Materials

You really can't go wrong with silicone toys -- they're easy to clean, sturdy, and last a long time; as long as you use a water based lubricant with them, you can use them without any issue for as long as you would like. There are other options, however, and you should definitely think about them as well. For example, stainless steel toys are heavier and so they hit your G-Spot with a much harder and firmer force; glass toys are rigid and can be shaped more uniquely than anything else, making them a lot of fun if you want to play with hard textures. Keep your mind open and check out similar looking dildos in different materials -- if you like something hard, then go for something firmer than silicone. If you like soft and pliable, stick with trusty silicone :D

4. Know Your Brands

There are many great and reputable brands, but if you're unsure of what to buy, then this can help shape your search. The mid-range line of toys are made by Trinity Vibes and Doc Johnson, and you get great value for your buck with those brands. Tantus, Lelo, Fun Factory, nJoy, and JimmyJane are all luxury lines that cost more, but they have better materials and design as would be expected. We would recommend trying something with a similar design as the high-end lines from the mid-range lines if you're inexperienced, and seeing if you like them. If you do, then you can save up and get the high-end versions when you would like to! In many cases, retailers will also have periodic sales, where you can get great deals on the luxury brands if you would like! Shop around and take your time: Adam and Eve, Amazon, Babeland, Good Vibrations, and Stag Shop.

5. Find Complement Toys

Dildos are great in of themselves, but having some complement toys can really up your pleasure game ;) Consider something like the Liberator Wing or Bonbon, where you can mount your dildo and ride it. You can also consider using something like the Hitachi Magic Wand on your clitoris or on the dildo itself while it's deep inside you poking your G-Spot. It'll make you mindlessly pleasured and rocking your hips to the rhythm in no time -- believe me ;) The dildo itself will be enough by itself, but you can take it to a whole new level by adding components to it. You can even borrow your lover and have him take you in your butt for a nice double penetration session if you'd like hehe :D
