Dildos 101: material, size and shape explained
0
“Dildo” covers an enormous range of products — the right one depends far more on material and shape than most people expect. Here’s how to actually choose.
Material changes everything
Silicone dildos are the most popular starting point: body-safe, warms to skin temperature, and available in both firm and soft finishes.

Glass dildos are rigid, non-porous, and can be used with any lube — some people also enjoy them warmed or cooled. Steel sits at the firmest end again, with the most noticeable weight.
Realistic vs. non-realistic shapes
Realistic designs (with veins, a defined head) tend to suit people who prefer a familiar shape and sensation. Non-realistic, sculptural designs are often built specifically around texture or a curve toward a particular spot, and can feel just as good — or better — without trying to look like anything in particular.
If you’ll be using it hands-free
Check for a flared base or a strong suction cup — suction-cup dildos are designed to stick to a flat, clean, non-porous surface (tile, glass, a headboard) for hands-free or harness use.

Size: bigger isn’t the goal
Girth generally matters more for sensation than length, and most people are better served starting smaller than they’d guess. Browse the full range by material and size, and remember you can always size up later.
