How We Picked The Products

Once we selected the dildos for review, Tim Larson, Shane Davis, Sandra Larson, and I defined several test criteria that we believe the average consumer considers before the purchase. We also ensured the criteria could easily be measured to ensure everyone had a robust testing template to follow. The testing criteria looked like this:

  • Design. The ideal design depends on the preferred sensations. For instance, a G-spot stimulation dildo will be different from a prostate exploration model. Tweaks like a flared base are a must for anal toys to enhance safety. In addition, realism varies from one model to another. While some people love extra realistic dildos, complete with wrinkled balls and a veiny shaft, others love a non-phallic dildo.
  • Size. The ideal size depends on the user’s experience and desired sensations. However, something to keep in mind is if a dildo is too long, you can always use a bit of the length. But, if it’s too small, there’s little you can do. On the other hand, the circumference is more sensitive, and you must use your fingers to measure how much you can take. We ensured everyone had something on this list independent of experience level.
  • Build Quality. Besides the design and size, the team ensured to only include body-safe materials. Silicone was the marking scheme because of the non-porous and flexible design. We also prioritized models with ABS plastic on the control pad because of its rugged and durable properties. In addition, we reviewed glass and metal models to give our readers a glimpse into the forgotten yet exciting options. Something else we delved into was the quality of craftsmanship, prioritizing brands that showcased the highest level of artistry. Minimal seams and unique tweaks designed to enhance the user experience were hallmarks we looked into.
  • Firmness. The material’s density was an essential part when we were selecting the firmness. We were fully aware that people prefer different things when buying sex toys, so we included dildos made from squishy materials and firmer ones for beginners and experienced folks.
  • Versatility. Everyone loves a dynamic sex toy, and dildos are no exception. The team emphasized the importance of versatile products, which is why we included models with suction cups, thrusting capabilities, and vibrating motors. We even reviewed multiple ejaculating dildos, eventually crowning the Big Shot as the top pick.
  • Stimulations. The sensations were also essential, and we reviewed dildos with different stimulation options, including vibrations, thrusting, and squirting. More importantly, we prioritized models with the most settings to make it easy for people to customize the experience, regardless of the experience.
  • Power & Battery Life. Another essential consideration we made was the power. Besides prioritizing rechargeable models, we also ensured the charging to output time was positive. You don’t want a sex toy that takes hours to charge and only runs for 20 minutes. Do you?
  • Handling/User Experience. The user experience comes down to several factors, including the design, size, and material. We assessed all the dildos we reviewed, ensuring the top picks represented had features like an ergonomic shape, a grippy surface, and the highest levels of handling. Other facets included the control interface’s positioning and the availability of raised buttons.
  • Price. Lastly, the price was crucial throughout the experience. We tested dildos across the pricing spectrum, ensuring everyone got something regardless of their budget. Whether you want an affordable G-spot stimulator or a luxurious, top-of-the-line thunder, the article has something for you.

During the testing exercise, all the ratings were based on the quantifiable factors listed above. The lowest got 0%, while the highest scored 100%. Once we determined the most essential metrics for each category, the percentages were awarded based on what was most important to consumers. This is how we distributed the ratings: Design (20%), Size (15%), Build Quality (15%), Versatility (10%), Stimulations (10%), Price (10%), Power & Battery (10%), and Handling (10%).

Once the team returned with the reports, Sandra Larson and I sat down for a grueling 46-hour analysis session. We used pie charts and other comparison tools to identify the similarities and scrutinize the differences. Sandra and I also went through user testimonials and reviews from vendor sites and sex toy forums to include as much feedback as possible. After the collaborative efforts and deep-rooted research, we firmly believe these are the best dildos this year.

1. Vixskin Johnny: Our Overall Test Winner!

Vixen Creations Johnny Vixskin

Why we love Vixskin Johnny:

Among the top performers, Vixskin Johnny’s realistic feel was outstanding and is our pick as this year’s best dildo. The testers loved every inch of the 8″ Johnny (image above), with our lead product tester Sandra Larson describing it as “close to a real dick as can be.” The details were incredible- everything from the wrinkles running along the shaft to the wrinkled balls and well-defined corona; the attention to detail was phenomenal.

Besides the visuals, Vixskin used dual-density silicone material, making the experience even more natural-like. The firm inner core is covered with a squishy outer layer. This way, the two layers move back and forth like an erect penis does during masturbation or penetrative sex. While some reviewers have faulted the dual-density layout for the sticky feeling that requires more lube than regular models, the ultra-realistic look and feel are worth every penny.

Closeup of the balls

Now, let’s talk about the user experience. Unfortunately, Johnny is not for the faint of heart. The grip was a bit tricky to master, and you’ll need to use all your arm strength to thrust the massive Johnny back and forth. In addition, the realistic-looking balls (zoomed in the image above) make it somewhat tricky to get a proper grip. Most of the reviews online pointed out how the user’s hand tired quickly. This may be an issue for those with mobility issues or limited grip strength.

Since Johnny doesn’t have a suction cup base, we couldn’t wait to explore pegging play. Using it with a harness was fun, and the simplified control was a welcome relief. The balls stayed in the harness without wiggling as much as anticipated, making penetration straightforward.

Closeup of the penis shaft showing the realistic veins

Note: Surprisingly, we couldn’t feel the veins and ridges (image above) much when we used Vixskin Johnny. You can feel the coronal ridge, but the rest of the details were there for aesthetics only – at least for our testers. Sandra Larson said she felt a little rubbing sensation from the texture, so I think my vagina is not that sensitive after all.

Something else that stood out was the dimensions. The testers highlighted the length, emphasizing how the 7-inch insertable length made it large enough to reach all the right places. Unlike the monster dildos, Vixskin Johnny was not overwhelming. The overall flexible body made it easy to manipulate the positioning for maximum enjoyment. We found it squishy but not so soft, providing an incredible balance so you don’t have trouble stimulating the G-spot.

The packaging

Lastly, Johnny also scored well on the versatility front. It warms up to match your body temperature for a realistic experience. You can also submerge it in warm water before use so that you can use it when it is cozy. Regarding cleaning, the silicone material is boilable for sterilization purposes.

Note: Johnny from Vixskin is the first sex toy I’ve seen offering a lifetime warranty. In addition, the brand doesn’t accept returns, and you won’t have to worry about receiving a repackaged dildo, a familiar yet deeply gross occurrence in the sex toy world.

A Great Alternative:

Like Vixskin Johnny, the Maverick is ultra-realistic but it’s more girthy. The 2-inch insertable diameter was enormous, and none of the other review samples came close. More importantly, it felt hefty from the head to the base, and intense users looking for powerful stretching sensations will love it. So, if you love Johnny’s realistic design but could do with more heft, the Maverick is perfect for the job.

A suction dildo mounted on a door

Note: Unlike Vixskin Johnny, the Maverick has a strong suction cup base, significantly enhancing the user experience. In addition, it doesn’t have ball sacks making it challenging to get a good grip, adding to the simplified handling. For more information, you can check out our Maverick review.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the dual-density design makes Johnny stick a little, as natural human skin does. For this reason, you’ll need more lube on the head and shaft to avoid discomfort or chaffing.

In addition, handling can be a headache with Vixskin Johnny. Even with switching hands halfway through, the realistic-looking balls make it complicated to get a good grip.

Why Vixskin Johnny is the highest-rated dildo:

  • Design. Vixskin Johnny’s design and realism scored an impressive 95%, making it the most realistic dildo this year. The competition, the RealCock 2 Dirk, costs over $500, making the $128 Johnny’s realism numbers ever more impressive. We especially loved how the dual-density design made the outer skin retract and pull back under pressure like an erect penis would. In addition, the veiny shaft-defined coronal ridge, and wrinkled balls add to the realism aspect, ensuring Johnny felt as natural as it looked.
  • Size. The dimensions were another highlight of the review. It’s large enough to get to all the right places without feeling overwhelmed,” said Sandra. In addition, the 1.75″ diameter made Johnny perfect for most users. The balance between the length and girth makes it the right size for beginners and experienced folks.
  • Versatility. While the realistic balls seemed to get in the way of things, they made Johnny perfect for strap-on play. The sturdy balls double as a flared base, providing a stable base for the harness to cling on without wobbling about. In addition, the silicone material’s temperature-responsiveness lets you warm it to match your body temperature and foster a more realistic experience.

2. RealCock 2 Dirk: Our Premium Pick!

RealCock 2 Dirk

Why we love RealCock 2 Dirk:

RealCock 2 Dirk’s outstanding attention to detail and high level of artistry made it stand out as the premium pick in this article. The ultra-realistic design edges Johnny from Vixskin a little, but the $599 price means only luxury seekers with the budget will get the monster.

There’s so much attention to detail in the design (image above) we mistook it for a real penis after unboxing it. The light gray veins, wrinkles, and freckles throughout the shaft look precisely like an erect penis would. In addition, the two floating testicles look and feel super realistic. I love squeezing balls during play, and I enjoyed every bit of the experience with the premium dildo.

Me measuring the girth of the dildo

RealCock’s Sil-Slide technology was an upgrade to the dual-density design. The 3-layers let you tug at the skin like you would with an erect dick. The smooth outer layer moves under pressure, leaving a firm inner core firm to maintain erectness during stroking. We loved the sagging effect because it amplified the realism; the feeling of the mid-shaft and outer layer separating was heavenly. Notably, Dirk was bendable and easy to manipulate. We didn’t expect the flexibility with the multiple layers, but the team highlighted how the massive bendy shaft made it easy to target the sweet spots.

Something else that stood out was the dimensions. The RealCock 2 Dirk has an 8.5″ insertable length and 2″ diameter. The chunky body (you can see me holding the beast in the image above) measured up to the Maverick, making Dirk perfect for depth and girth play fans. Beginners might have to sit it out, but intermediate and experienced folks will enjoy the raw sensations. “I enjoyed the exciting feeling of fullness when I used Dirk”, Rachel Sommer wrote in her test report.

Closeup of the shaft showing the realistic veins

Unfortunately, the long and wide dimensions make Dirk heavy to hold, and you must learn how to switch your hands during masturbation. Luckily, the fully customizable design means you can choose the ideal length and girth before checking out. RealDoll lets you upload photos so the final product looks exactly like the skin tone you want.

Lastly, the Vac-U-Lock compatibility was a bonus. It felt heavy on the hands, and being able to use it with a harness or sex machine proved to be a blessing. Jessica and I have a few sex machines and loads of harnesses, and we loved how easy these devices made the experience.

Closeup of the realistic testicles

Minor issues we found during testing:

My most significant concern was the massive size. RealCock Dirk’s 8.5″ insertable length and 2″ diameter made it a reserve for the most experienced folks. Like the Vixskin Johnny, the realistic balls complicate handling a lot. And especially for people with smaller hands, controlling Dirk can be a headache.

Lastly, Dirk was the most expensive we reviewed. It costs about $599, a crazy-high number for a non-vibrating sex toy.

So if you rather spend that much money on a vibrating option, you can find more vibrating dildos here.

Why RealCock 2 Dirk is our luxury pick:

  • Design. RealCock 2 Dirk’s Sil-Slide technology was rated higher than the other review samples. Especially its phenomenal attention to detail stood out from the time we unboxed it to the time the testing exercise commenced. “It was an upgrade to the double layering seen in the Vixskin Johnny, and the extra realism was evident during the review,” affirmed Shane Davis. We rated it at 98%, a testament to the exquisite design and high level of artistry.
  • Size. Dirk’s massive length and girth were another highlight of the review. We felt like it was the perfect option for people who want Vixskin Johnny and the Maverick in one. And even with the expensive price, the dimensions and customization abilities make it worth every penny.
  • Versatility. Dirk was surprisingly bendable and easy to manipulate to reach the sweet spots. More importantly, the Vac-U-Lock compatibility lets you use it with a sex machine or harness for hands-free pleasure.

3. Lovehoney Curved: Our Budget & Beginner Pick!

Lovehoney Curved Dildo

Why we love Lovehoney Curved:

Among all the dildos we reviewed, we believe that Lovehoney Curved is the ideal choice for budget seekers. The well-thought-out product costs $12.49 – $24.99, a considerable bargain for a silicone-made dildo. Most of the models we reviewed cost more than $100, making the Lovehoney Curved’s price notable. You can even get it for $12 when it’s on offer, meaning you get to enjoy the pleasures of internal stimulation without breaking the bank. Sex toy collectors can also make the most of the affordable pricing to add a well-made silicone dong to their collection for a little over ten bucks.

My colleagues also appreciated the beginner-friendly design, especially the pointed head and tapered build (image above) that made penetration straightforward. The curved shaft also simplifies G-spot stimulation, ensuring the soft silicone head rubs onto your sweet spots with ease. Overall, we believe Lovehoney Curved makes for a great first-time sex toy.

The content of the box

The test panel also highlighted how the size complemented the tapered design. “Its 6″ insertable length and 4″ circumference make it long enough for a beginner to enjoy without limiting the effectiveness”, our male product tester Tim Larson told me. “The girth might not be the most fulfilling, but it brings forward a case for a beginner-friendly dildo, ensuring a straightforward yet exciting experience”, Tim continued.

Something else that stood out was its versatility. Besides making simplifying insertion for beginners, Lovehoney Curved’s small size and tapered design make it anal fun-friendly. Jessica has an ultra-sensitive anal lining, and most models tend to be uncomfortable after a few thrusts. Lovehoney Curved 6-Inch is one of the few models that does it for her. Bravo Lovehoney!

Lovehoney Curved Silicone Suction Cup Dildo 6 Inch

Other reviews also highlighted how Lovehoney Curved was precise in targeting the elusive prostate gland. “Landing on the sweet spot didn’t take long, just a few movements, and we were there,” Sandra Larson reported.

The included suction cup (zoomed-in in the image above) base could be stronger. We tried it on different surfaces, and it only seemed to hang on tightly on wet walls and floors. So, if you are unsure whether it’ll stick, we recommend sprinkling a little water on the surface.

The Lovehoney curved dildo with the box

Lovehoney Curved also had a small hole at the bottom for your bullet vibrator. Notably, the pouch accommodated most standard bullets, so you probably won’t need to buy a vibe if you already have one. The vibrations weren’t as powerful to spread through the entire shaft, but the more potent bullets resulted in exciting rumbles around the base. If you enjoy rimming sensations on your ass, you’ll love the vibrations from the Lovehoney Curved.

Note: Unfortunately, the bullet vibrator protrudes towards the outside, and you can’t use it simultaneously with the suction cup base. Luckily, it’s relatively small, and using it with your hand is much easier than the Vixskin Johnny or Maverick.

The packaging

Minor issues we found during testing:

The only downside was the fact I couldn’t use the bullet vibrator and suction cup base simultaneously. The vibrator pops out beyond the base, thus affecting the suction pressure.

We talk a lot more about suction cup dildos in this guide.

Why Lovehoney Curved is our preferred for beginners and budget seekers:

  • Price. As mentioned above, Lovehoney Curved costs $12.49 – $24.99, a massive bargain. Unlike the competing models, which were made from cheap materials, it’s made from the highest quality silicone. In addition, the Lovehoney design language reigns, with a suction cup base and a small pouch for your bullet vibrators. The build quality made the price the best value for money.
  • Size. The dimensions were another review highlight. The 6″ insertable length and 4″ circumference made it the perfect first-time sex toy. And with the tapering and outstanding attention to detail, none of the other test samples came close to Lovehoney’s Curved beginner-friendliness.
  • Design. The review panel highlighted how the tapered body and squishy, rounded head simplified insertion and rhythmic thrusting. “I loved the gentle stretching experience and ease of thrusting,” confirmed Shane Davis. In addition, adding a suction cup base was incredible because it made the versatile dildo ideal for riding. The small pouch at the bottom made it easy to add the much-needed rumbles with a bullet vibrator. Lovehoney Curved also accommodates most standard-sized bullets, so you won’t have to stress about getting the ‘right’ one.

4. Vixskin Mustang: Highest-Rated For Hands-Free Play!

Vixen Creations Vixskin Mustang

Why we love Vixskin Mustang:

Among the many aspects we looked at when reviewing the products, versatility was among the most important. For dildos, a suction cup base can make or break an experience, especially the heavy models that are more challenging to thrust manually.

After the dust settled, Vixskin Mustang’s suction cup was the strongest! We weren’t sure what to expect from the stiff silicone material around the suction cup base (seen in the image below). The more assertive suction bases we reviewed had a squishier material. While altering the material’s density on the base would significantly improve the strength, especially in horizontal positions, the Vixskin Mustang held on all surfaces we tested it on.

Closeup of the bottom of the base

The suction cup base also made Mustang harness-compatible. We tested it with different harnesses, and it felt stable enough for penetration. Unlike most other dildos in the article, there wasn’t the annoying slouching.

The build quality also was impressive. The squishy silicone material felt good against the clitoris and vaginal lining. My fiancé’s vagina is borderline sensitive, and she loved the Mustang. According to her, it was a ‘gentle giant’ with a soft body that felt magical while stroking. In addition, the curved shape and overall flexible feel made it easy to target the G-spot.

Closeup of the penis head

Vixskin Mustang’s realistic detailing caught the review team’s eyes. People who enjoy realistic-looking sex toys will love it. Everything from the veins along the shaft to the rounded head and defined coronal ridge (closeup below) adds up to a natural-looking penis. Like Vixskin Johnny, the Mustang has an impressive dual-density design. A firm inner core forms the base of a squishy, movable soft layer. While the sliding skin makes it sticky, necessitating more lube during stroking, the enhanced realism makes it all worth it.

Mustang’s smaller size makes it ideal for beginners and intermediate users. Its impressive 6.5″ insertable length and 5″ circumference, coupled with the squishy silicone material, make it cozy, even for people new to dildos. Whether you’re buying it for vagina or anal exploration, Mustang is versatile.

The coronal ridge

Minor issues we found during testing:

Like other dual-density density dildos, the Vixskin Mustang sliding skin felt a little sticky, and you must use more lube to avoid chafing.

While the suction cup base was the strongest among the reviewed models, the silicone material around the base felt a little too stiff. A more flexible material density would undoubtedly improve the suction strength.

Why VixSkin Mustang is the most effective suction cup dildo:

  • Versatility. The Mustang’s suction cup base was the most robust among the models we tested. It might not be the most enormous dildo in the article, but the suction base proved very resourceful for hands-free riding. Besides freeing the hands, the suction base made the Mustang harness compatible. It clung onto the O-ring firmly, making penetration straightforward.
  • Design. Vixskin Mustang’s dual-density design added an extra layer of realism. In addition, the lifelike detailing, with a defined coronal ridge, a veined shaft, and a natural-looking tip, made it stand out.
  • Size. The 6.5″ insertable length and 5″ girth create an incredible balance between function and form. It’s long and wide enough to reach the sweet spots and enhance an exciting stretching experience, but it won’t leave you overwhelmed.

If you want to see what Vixskin Mustang looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

5. Big Shot: Most Effective For Squirting!

Evolved Novelties Big Shot squirting dildo

Why we love Big Shot:

If you have a place in your heart for cinematic ejaculations when you climax, then Big Shot is for you because the built-in reservoir (image below) houses a load full of organic semen fluid. This way, you can shoot a load when you’re about to climax for a realistic and exciting feeling. Whether you have a cum fetish or not, you’ll love the sight of overflowing semen everything you finish. Besides the soggy feeling of a jet stream of cum to go with your orgasm, the visuals make masturbation and partnered sex more exciting.

Unlike most other squirting dildos with a syringe or ball squeeze, the Big Shot’s built-in reserve is much neater to use. More importantly, it doesn’t get in the way during use. It also has a simplified 2-button interface, giving you supreme squirt control. Besides the simplified squirt control, we found it easy to refill the reservoir. The Big Shot’s removable cap at the base snaps open with minimal pressure so that you can fill or empty it in seconds.

Big Shot with the liquid container open

The robust motor was another highlight of the self-testing exercise. The team loved how torque-oriented the rumbles felt. “I thought the rumbles felt powerful even at the lowest setting,” affirmed Sandra Larson. “The impressive range of 7 vibration settings and 3 intensity settings made it easy to customize the vibrations to match my mood”, Sandra added.

Silicone dildos are known to be squishy and flexible, but the Big Shot is not your average sex toy. The firm density and 8″ length (image below) make it unforgiving for beginners and people with a sensitive vagina. In addition, the torque-oriented rumbles add to the intense personality. So, if this is your first dildo experience or your vagina can’t handle the extra roughness, you might have to steer clear of the Big Shot.

The Big Shot dildo with a ruler

Lastly, the suction cup base felt more stable than all the squirting dildos we tested. We tried it on different surfaces, and it clung on firmly, even in horizontal positions like the shower walls and the fridge. Whether you want to explore lesbian penetrative sex or pegging, the Big Shot’s suction base also means you can enjoy harness play.

Note: The suction cup base on the Big Shot was an excellent addition by the designers. Using the ejaculating sex toy with your bare hands can be tiring, and riding provides a seamless way to enjoy Big Shot.

The device charging

Minor issues we found during testing:

My greatest concern was the reservoir leaks whenever you store the Big Shot with the semen fluid. You must empty it after every use, which can become annoying in the long run. The designers might have used the stiff silicone density to avoid accidental semen spills during stroking, but it makes it ideal for the most experienced folk. Beginners and people with sensitive vaginal or anal lining will have to sit it out.

So for anal play lovers, you might want to check other alternatives in this anal dildo roundup.

In addition, the button’s positioning near the base felt awkward. Multi-tasking while masturbating was a tough ask. We believe using differently-sized buttons to differentiate the vibrating from the ejaculation function would enhance the user experience.

Why Big Shot is our favorite for realistic squirting:

  • Versatility. The ejaculation feature made the Big Shot stand out. More importantly, the squirting mechanism with a built-in reserve embraces a neat squirting experience. In addition, it doesn’t get in the way of the action like a syringe or hand pump would. Unlike some other competitors we tested, The Big Shot’s reservoir was considerable, allowing it to hold a vast amount of semen fluid for multiple ejaculations. The suction cup base was another aspect that added to the versatility points. The harness-compatible base clung to different surfaces and made the ejaculating sex toy more practical for different people.
  • Stimulations. The robust motor provided an excellent range of vibration modes and speeds. “The vibrations felt incredible. I could feel the rumbles even at the lower settings, said Rachel Sommer.

6. Mr. Hankey Big Daddy: Highest-Rated For Size!

Mr Hankey Big Daddy

Why we love Mr. Hankey Big Daddy:

Among the many things that made us fall in love with Mr. Hankey Big Daddy, its massive size was everyone’s favorite and we believe the substantial circumference and length make it perfect for depth and girth play. We tested multiple giant dildos, and none came close to the awe-inspiring dimensions of the Big Daddy.

Notably, Big Daddy is available in four sizes, allowing you to customize the experience. We reviewed the medium variant, and it was a delight. The meaty dong delivered an experience that left Jessica and me feeling delightfully challenged. Combining a hefty girth and realistic texture (image above) will leave you in awe, screaming for more with every thrust. I don’t think anyone will leave here wanting more: the Big Daddy is incredibly satisfying.

Mr Hankey's Big Daddy

The availability in four sizes means you don’t have to be the most experienced user to use the Big Daddy. First-timers might have to sit it out, but intermediaries and anyone else looking to challenge their limits can give the Big Daddy a try.

Something else that blew our minds was the impeccable attention to detail. If you’re looking to upgrade your realistic dildo, look no further. The super level of realism makes it comparable to other powerhouses like the Vixskin Johnny and the Maverick. “I loved the more defined coronal ridge (than Johnny’s), more pumped veins, and a larger shaft,” confirmed Sandra Larson. “The combination of a massive size and realistic texture makes the Big Daddy more intense and lifelike.”

Closeup of the flared base

Unlike the competition, Big Daddy offered multiple customization options. Whether you want to adjust the size or the firmness, you can design your own monster dildo with a few clicks. Big Daddy’s dimensions can be intimidating, but the intricate skin and tapered design offered a much-needed relief. Regardless of the size you go for, the tapering enhances a gentle stretching experience and simplifies penetration, helping push away the initial fear.

The testers also thought Big Daddy was built to last a long time. The high-grade silicone material guarantees durability, giving you the freedom and confidence to take it on a wild adventure without the risk of losing its shape or texture.

Mr Hankey's Toys Big Daddy

Note: The choice of the firmness degree to go for varies from one customer to the other. Personally, the medium firmness strikes a balance between comfort and flexibility. It has the right amount of give, allowing you to manipulate it without losing stability. However, some people may find it too tough, opting for the 75% soft option.

The initial thought for most people is that Big Daddy is unapproachable. However, the monster dildo is designed for smooth and seamless penetration. The combination of silky-smooth silicone and a tapered build (highlighted in the image above) significantly enhances the user experience. In addition, the rounded base is wide, making it easy to grip Big Daddy.

Mr Hankey Big Daddy

Lastly, the waterproof design opens your world to new possibilities, allowing you to enjoy aquatic fun. You can either install a Vac-U-Lock hole or a suction cup base. This way, you can use it with a harness/ sex machine or ride it hands-free. Just make sure you use a sturdy harness to keep the weighty Big Daddy in place.

A Great Alternative:

King Cock Ultra Realistic (image below) is an incredibly realistic alternative for anyone looking for a massive dildo on a budget. Unlike the Big Daddy, it only costs $49.99. The testers also liked the versatility, especially the sturdy suction cup base. Although it falls short in size and realism, the price makes it an excellent value for money.

For those who want to know more about this alternative, we recommend reading Pipedream King Cock review.

King Cock Ultra Realistic Extra Girthy

Minor issues we found during testing:

Big Daddy requires experience, and beginners must sit it out. It takes a while to get used to the stretching experience.

Its weighty size makes it challenging to use Big Daddy without a harness or suction cup. Thrusting requires extra effort and can be tiring on the arms and wrists.

So if you find it too huge, we have an article about small dildoes that can be a better fit for you.

Why Mr. Hankey Big Daddy is the for size:

  • Size. Mr. Hankey Big Daddy’s size is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The review panel was in full praise of the massive circumference and length that makes it perfect for girth and depth play fans. More importantly, Big Daddy is available in four different sizes and boasts incredible customization options, including size and firmness.
  • Stimulations. The massive size and realistic texture make for an exciting blend of intense stretching and unparalleled sensations of fullness. The unforgettable experience will undoubtedly leave you satisfied with pleasure, screaming for more with every thrust.
  • Versatility. The waterproof design lets you get things to the next level with undisturbed aquatic play. More importantly, you can customize it by adding a Vac-U-Lock hole or a suction cup base for hands-free fun.

7. njoy Pure Wand: For Temperature Play!

njoy Pure Wand

Why we love njoy Pure Wand:

Metal toys are a work of art and they strike a good balance between luxury and functionality with a weighted and fulfilling body. And among the many models, njoy Pure Wand is the best metal dildo we tested. The stainless steel material had a passionate glow that speaks to the phenomenal build quality. The medical-grade and non-porous stainless steel felt sturdy yet exciting and beautiful. We loved the luscious, polished look and the utterly smooth finish (evident in the image above).

Something else that was striking was the design language. The two differently-sized heads (image below) let you switch the sensations to match your desired girth. We found the smaller end more attuned to anal play, while the large ball was ideally suited for vaginal penetration. Some reviewers on the internet also confessed to using the small end to warm up for anal sex or get ready for the girthier end.

njoy Pure Wand standing upright

Most critical reviews on sex toy forums and vendor sites are on the non-vibrating design, but we weren’t too fixated on the rumbles. Don’t get me wrong; vibrations are always a plus, and njoy Pure Wand would’ve been more stimulating with them, but the weighted body and double-head design were exciting facets the reviewers highlighted.

Pure Wand maintained a low profile while still delivering intense, temperature-responsive sensations. Still, on the design, the team was fascinated by the banana-like body because it significantly enhanced the user experience. Finding the G-spot was bliss, and you won’t need much arm twisting to land on your sweet spots. The rocking motion simplified G-spot stimulation, and we found it required less effort to thrust than the other dildos in the article.

nJoy Pure Wand

Note: The team thought the body was more curved (image above) than the images show. It took a while to get the hang of it, but once you’re in tune with the body and how to navigate the experience, the internal sensations take over.

Jessica and I love adding clitoral stimulation to penetrative play, and we did pair njoy Pure Wand with multiple clit sex toys. Notably, pairing the two was straightforward, and harmonizing the stroking and rubbing motion on the clitoris seemed more effortless than with other dildos.

Closeup of the larger head

More than silicone, the stainless steel was temperature-responsive. It warmed and cooled in as little as three minutes, giving out a warm or chilled vibe on demand. I don’t think most people will be looking forward to a cold metal sex toy, but you can always use the icy feeling to tease your partner during BDSM and other teasing sexual practices.

Pro Tip: Ensure you place the cold or warm dildo on the dorsal side of your hand to judge the temperature before using the sex toy. Never introduce it directly to the vagina or other erogenous zones.

Closeup of the steel body with the njoy logo

A Great Alternative:

L’ACIER CAPO is a good alternative if you want vibrations. The weighted metal dildo has a robust vibrating bullet with an exciting range of ten vibration settings. Unlike the njoy Pure Wand, it had a removable handle on one end, significantly simplifying the user experience. While it falls short on the diversity of two differently sized heads, the vibrations, realistic design, and easy-reach handle make the L’ACIER CAPO perfect for the job.

L’ACIER Capo with the attached handle

Check out the L’ACIER Capo full review to know more about its features.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, njoy Oure Wand is only ideal for people seeking a weighted feeling. If you need vibrations to climax, go for the versatile L’ACIER CAPO. It has a removable 10-setting bullet vibrator with an easy-touch button to cycle through the patterns.

People with a sensitive G-spot or clitoris will find it too tough. In addition, those with mobility issues and weaker hands will have to look for something lighter.

Why njoy Pure Wand is our preferred metal dildo:

  • Build Quality. The review panel highlighted how the non-porous stainless steel made the njoy Pure Wand durable. “This is one of those sex toys that will outlast you with proper care,” proclaimed Shane Davis. “The attention to detail is evident from end to end, and the polished glow and smooth edges underline the incredible satisfying sensations.”
  • Design. The G-spot wand’s double-headed design enhanced its versatility. Whether you want to use one for anal play and the other for vaginal penetrations, you call the shots. Some people also use the smaller one to prep for the larger one, cultivating a culture of gradual stretching. Either way, the dynamic build opens your world to new possibilities.

If you want to see what the njoy Pure Wand looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

  • Material: Stainless Steel

  • Vibrating dildo fans will not like this one.
  • Pricey – up to $149.99.

8. Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy: For Thrusting!

Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy attached to glass

Why we love Velvet Mini Teddy:

Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy’s self-propelling feature stood out on this list with the robust mechanism stroking back and forth intrinsically for a completely hands-free experience. Freeing your hands opens new avenues of pleasure, allowing you to focus on other erogenous zones, ultimately leading to a more rewarding sexual experience.

Let’s talk about handling and the overall user experience first since they are very important. In this area, Mini Teddy received the highest score as the easiest thrusting dildo to use among the models we reviewed. We especially loved the convenient handle. It felt cozy on the hand, and the relatively small and portable size made it easy to manipulate Mini Teddy with one hand.

Mini Teddy fully extended

Away from the handle, Velvet Mini’s versatile design included a suction cup base (you can see the toy attached in the image above). We tested it on different surfaces, and it held on firmly. The squishy material around the base made it easy to push out as much air as possible, so the suction pressure was pleasurable throughout the play. Still on handling, the user interface was impressive.

Further, the 2-button control pad made it easy to regulate the thrusting speeds and vibration settings from one place. Talking about vibrations, the Velvet Mini Teddy’s robust motor delivered a nice range of torque-oriented. “I prefer rumbly vibrations, and I couldn’t be happier with the thrusting dildo,” Sandra Larson retorted.

Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy

Note: Our tester Angela Kempf described the vibrations as unforgiving. There’s no ‘warm up’, and you might have to prepare yourself before using tMini Teddy because it starts on a high.

The realistic detailing was another highlight. The team loved the veiny shaft, rounded head, and well-structured coronal ridge (highlighted in the image below). It provided an exciting stretching experience and significantly simplified penetration.

Closeup of the shaft and tip

Lastly, the dimensions made the Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy perfect for different users. It had a 5″ insertable length and 1.5″ diameter. You don’t have to be the most experienced folk to enjoy the bliss. Its 2.5″ thrusting length provided enough oomph to get to your sweet spots without breaking a sweat.

A Great Alternative:

Nanci Thruster Velvet Prime might not be the most popular in the collection, but its curved squared-off was too good to ignore. We loved the prominent hook because of its effectiveness in locking into the G-spot. “The hook-like head made it easy to get to the G-spot,” confirmed Rachel Sommer. “After the initial twisting to get to the sweet spot, Nanci held on, and the orgasms never left.”

Nanci fully extended

Here’s the full Nanci Thruster Velvet Prime review for those who are interested in learning more.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the Thruster Mini Teddy gives out a whirring noise that sounds like a sewing machine. You must get creative with music, shower water, or a comforter to mask it and maintain a discreet environment.

The thrusting experience might be too extreme for beginners. We recommend preparing yourself before turning on the thrusting dildo, as there’s no warm-up with the Velvet Mini Teddy.

Why Velvet Mini Teddy is the best thrusting dildo:

  • Design. The modern, sleek look was a highlight of the review. We thought the design team did a great job maintaining a realistic look while adding flair to the design. Everything from the serrated body to the rounded head and bulged veins came out perfectly. The self-thrusting mechanism was well put. Even with the rapid thrusts and ‘no warm-up approach,’ the Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy looked and felt like a high-grade dildo.
  • Handling. Velvet Mini Teddy’s comparatively small size made it easy to manipulate with your hands. The convenient suction cup base was robust and held onto different surfaces, making it perfect for hands-free thrusting. In addition, the two-button interface simplified handling, making it easy to regulate the thrusting action and vibrations from one place.
  • Stimulations. Mini Teddy might not be the most gentle on your sensitive bits. Still, the testers reported it provided a decent range of intensities before reaching top speed.

If you want to see what Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

Check out this Velvet Thruster Mini full review if you want to learn more.

Features:

  • Material: Silicone
  • Diameter: 1.5″
  • Insertable Length: 5″

Pros:

  • It’s an incredibly well-designed thrusting dildo.
  • A powerful motor with up to 128 thrusts/minute.
  • Impressive 6 thrusting speeds.
  • Convenient suction cup base.
  • There are different models available.

Cons:

  • The thrusting machine ‘no warm-up approach’ is not ideal for beginners.
  • It sounds like a sewing machine.

9. Mr. Hankey’s Dragon: Our Favorite Fantasy Dildo!

Mr. Hankey's Dragon Dildo

Why we love Mr. Hankey Dragon:

Mr. Hankey’s Dragon’s intricately designed and animated look was the highest-rated among the fantasy dildos we reviewed. If you love the make-believe world these products take you to, then you’ll certainly love the Dragon sex toy. The team was taken aback by the incredible design that showcased phenomenal attention to detail. We explored every texture and groove throughout its length, ensuring we didn’t miss an inch. Notably, the height and width of the nubs and ridges were unique, leaving a tread on you with every thrust.

Unlike the realistic-looking dildos, the texture was impactful, and we could articulate the thumps during stroking. “I loved the change in texture as you move towards the base. It was as if the Dragon got fiercer with every inch”, Shane Davis reported.

Me testing the size on the Mr. Hankey's Dragon Dildo

Amid the chaos, Mr. Hankey’s Dragon had an exciting balance going on. On the one hand, the small, pointy nub in the middle slithered the vaginal walls, making its presence known. On the other hand, the well-measured ridges beneath the shaft (image above) felt gentle yet noticeable, with a much-needed calm to the thrusting experience.

Unlike other dildos in the article, the Dragon’s fluctuating texture meant the instroke and outstroke were equally exciting. It felt incredibly stimulating to slide it on and take off, a rare occurrence from our experience.

Me testing the firmness on Mr. Hankey's Dragon Dildo

As anticipated, Mr. Hankey’s Dragon looked intimidating. We reviewed the medium size, and its sheer size was awe-inspiring. Luckily, there are multiple sizes to choose from, and you can customize it to match your experience and pleasure needs.

Something else we loved about the customization bit was the different density options. You can have it in a medium firm or 75% density variant. The latter is much squishier and perfect for people with ultra-sensitive skin. Otherwise, the former strikes an outstanding balance between form and function; most people will love it. Still, for versatility, you can add a Vac-U-Lock hole to the base or a suction cup base attachment for hands-free fun. If you have sex machines and harnesses at home, I recommend the latter, as it lets you push the Dragon to the limit with endless possibilities.

The packaging

If you’re an intermediate or experienced customer looking to push your limits, Bad Dragon is a great way to do it. You might want to start with the smallest size and work your way up the ladder. Everything from the extended length to the realistic texture and bulging veins provided an exciting blend of sensations few models can match.

Great Alternative:

Mr. Hankey’s Taintacle is an incredibly well-designed fantasy toy for sealife lovers. The hentai-style sex toy S-curve design makes it easy to get to your sweet spots. In addition, the stimulating suckers rub onto the vaginal or prostate lining, tickling the deepest of your desires. Like the Dragon, the upper and lower side textures were contrasting, cultivating an excellent balance during thrusting. In addition, the pointed tip simplified penetration and promoted a gentle stretching experience.

Read the Mr. Hankeys Taintacle full review right here.

Mr. Hankey's Taintacle

You can read more about fantasy dildos, the best Bad Dragon dildo, the best monster dildo, the best tentacle dildo, or even the xenomorph dildo dick in these articles.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Beginners and people who prefer the traditional, smoother sensations will find the Dragon too intimidating. The smallest size is 10 inches long, which is almost twice the average penis size.

Unfortunately, the Dragon is ideally suited for people who enjoy slow, passionate thrusting. If you need rapid stroking to climax, you might have to look elsewhere.

Why Mr. Hankey’s Dragon is the best fantasy dildo:

  • Design. The review panel highlighted how the intricate dragon-inspired texture stood out. “The handcrafted dildo is one of a kind,” said Sandra. “It enhances pleasure and visual appeal, with the blend of intimidating nubs and smooth scales.”
  • Build Quality. Mr. Hankey’s magnificent attention to detail was there for everyone to see. The level of detail and craftsmanship was undeniable. Everything from the durable and whimsical silicone material to the articulated textures throughout its length stood out.
  • Versatility. Besides its availability in different sizes and firmness degrees, we loved that the designers allowed users to add a Vac-U-Lock hole or a suction cup base. The dynamic attachments open your world to new possibilities so you can use the Dragon hands-free with a harness or sex machine.

10. Lovehoney Desire Luxury: Best For Pegging!

Desire Luxury Rechargeable Remote Control Strapless Strap-On

Why we love Lovehoney Desire Luxury:

Among the many things we loved about the Desire Luxury from Lovehoney, its simplistic yet functional design stood out. The fascinating curves and flexible neck (image above) underline the undeniable attention to detail. In addition, the bulbous design significantly enhanced the user experience.

We’ve reviewed dozens of Lovehoney products, and the design language has always been impressive. For the Desire Luxury, the pony and penetrating shaft had a tapered body, making insertion straightforward. In addition, the pony’s bulbous shape enhanced retention, while the adjustable neck made it easy to get the right angle of penetration without both partners feeling uncomfortable.

Closeup of the controls

The insertable shaft spots unique curves throughout its length, which you can see in the image below. The small bump close to the neck provides an exciting stretching experience for the vagina during deep penetration. On the other hand, the node after the tapered tip offers the first measure of resistance after penetration, making the thrusting experience exciting.

We weren’t sure what to expect from the smoothly-finished dildo. Most of the models we reviewed were heavily textured, and Desire Luxury’s silky silicone material was bound to provide a different dimension of pleasure. Surprisingly, the gliding effect over the vaginal lining was stimulating – not the wildest of sensations, but it was something.

Desire Luxury Rechargeable Remote Control Strapless Strap-On

Now, let’s talk about the dimensions. The Desire Luxury’s 4.5″ insertable length and 4.25″ circumference made it ideal for most users. Beginners might have to sit it out because regulating the strapless strap-on takes time and practice, but intermediate and experienced folks will enjoy the bliss.

Note: Desire Luxury struck an excellent balance between comfort and functionality. It’s not the most enormous model, and neither is it the smallest. The comparatively fair dimensions make it relatively easy to wear hands-free, even if you’re not the most experienced strapless dildo user. Strapless strap-ons can be tricky to use, and having one whose weight doesn’t pull it out is a blessing.

The device charging

As stressed before, using strap-ons takes time and practice. Still, we recommend gravity-friendly sex positions like spooning and cowgirl to enhance retention. In addition, we found using Desire Luxury with your legs crossed helped keep the pony in position.

How about the power? Well, we were delighted with the Desire Luxury’s robust motor. It churned out eight vibration modes and twelve intensities, making up an exciting range of pleasure settings. More importantly, the vibrations felt measured, and we loved the intricate switch in intensity and consistency from one pattern to another.

The remote control

Moving on, the team highlighted how the Lovehoney Desire Luxury was easy to use. Unlike most of the dildos in the article, it came with a convenient remote control (highlighted in the image above). Its three-button interface was easy to use, and the silicone finish made the controller cozy on the palm. I’m sure you’ve used a remote with lubed-up hands and struggled to get a grip. The silicone surface does away with the sloppy feeling so that you can carry on with the vibrations undisturbed.

A Great Alternative:

Lovehoney Advanced Strap-on kit is a good alternative to the Desire Luxury. Beginners and people on a budget can make the most of the kit that comes with an adjustable harness, a sleek 7-inch dildo, and a small pouch for your bullet vibrator. Notably, the versatile harness has three interchangeable O-rings so you can switch between your favorite products. But wait there’s more: This practical strap-on kit only costs $44.99 making it an option for all wallets!

If you’re considering this strap-on alternative, make sure to read this Lovehoney Advanced Unixes Strap-on review.

Lovehoney Advanced Unisex Strap-On harness kit

Minor issues we found during testing:

My most significant concern was the lack of independent control for the pony and insertable shaft. They vibrate simultaneously, slowing down and firing up with every change of setting. For this reason, the strapless strap-on can be problematic if one partner wants the vibrations and the other doesn’t or wants something softer.

As stressed before, strap-ons are reserved for the most experienced dildo users. It takes loads of training and patience to master the skill. So, if you’re a beginner, we recommend starting with a strapped model to learn the ropes.

Why Lovehoney Desire Luxury is our favorite strap-on dildo:

  • Design. The review panel praised Desire Luxury’s award-winning design. Most strapless strap-ons have sophisticated bodies, but Lovehoney maintained a simplistic and functional look for this one. Notably, the adjustability made it easy to manipulate the angles for maximum efficiency. In addition, the bulbous body and angled head enhanced the precision, making it easy to target your partner’s sweet spots.
  • Stimulations. The impressive range of 12 intensity settings and 8 vibration modes was the most among the reviewed models. The strap-on offered a lot to explore, with multiple customization options to match your sexual desires and experience.
  • Handling. The wireless remote control significantly enhanced the user experience and made the Desire Luxury stand out. Most of the dildos we reviewed had a built-in control interface that made handling complicated, especially during partnered sex. However, the silicone-coated controller simplified the experience, allowing you to regulate the pleasure without halting the stroking action.

If you want to see what Lovehoney Desire Luxury looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

Here’s the full Lovehoney Desire Luxury Strapless Strap-on review.

Features:

  • Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
  • Insertable Length: 5″ & 4.5″ (pony)
  • Girth: 4.25″ & 4.75″ (pony)

Pros:

  • Impressive range of vibration patterns and speeds.
  • The flexible neck makes it easy to manipulate the sex toy.
  • A satisfying feeling of fullness from the bulbous body.
  • 100% waterproof.
  • Convenient remote control.

Cons:

  • Strapless strap-ons are reserved for the more experienced folks.
  • Desire Luxury is pricey – $119.99.

11. Vixskin Colossus: A Good Hollow Model!

Vixen Creations Vixskin Colossus

Why we love VixSkin Colossus:

Whether you have Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or not, hollow dildos offer a sheath to add your length and girth for amplified partnered sex. VixSkin Colossus quickly became our favorite among the test samples thanks to its hands-free design. You won’t need a harness or anything; it goes over a semi-erect penis and only takes a few minutes to get everything well positioned.

Besides the strapless design, the team was amazed at how the Colossus looked like a real dick. The attention to detail was evident, which you can see in the image above. Everything from the veiny shaft with impeccable detail to the natural-looking head and well-defined corona looked and felt holistic. “It’d be hard to tell the sheath from a human penis if you lined them together,” said Sandra Larson. “It’s undoubtedly one of the most realistic-looking hollow dildos, and people fascinated by anatomically correct sheaths will find it amusing.”

Closeup of the base

While you must have a semi-erect penis to fit the sheath (image above), it was the easiest to wear among the strapless sheaths we reviewed. A flaccid penis can be problematic to fit inside unless your member is 5″+ when soft. Otherwise, you leave a chunk of Colossus collapsing, and penetration is practically impossible. In such a scenario, we recommend getting penis sleeve inserts.

Wearing the penis sleeve takes a few minutes. The material felt stretchy enough to slide the balls through the small hole without any discomfort. Some reviews have described the material density as too rugged, resulting in slight discomfort. Still, the design significantly simplified handling and made it easy to bulk up in a minute and satisfy your partner.

Closeup of the tip

Now, let’s talk about the dimensions. The Colossus from Vixskin was the thickest hollow strap-on we tested. Although the thick material tends to dull the sensations during self-pleasuring and partnered sex, it induces self-confidence. In addition, it helps people with premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction last longer in bed.

Note: The massive size means people with a smaller-than-average penis (5.16″) can’t use it. Even with the extenders, the sheath is tailored for showers and not growers. In addition, the sleeve’s thick size also means climaxing with it on is nearly impossible. You might have to take it off to reach orgasm.

Vixen Creations Vixskin Colossus

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the sheath’s long size and thick material make it too elaborate for people with a smaller-than-average penis size. You might have to use penis inserts. Still, the sleeve is designed for showers rather than growers.

In addition, the hands-free penis sleeve is expensive. It costs $159.99, a price most people will find too high for a hollow toy. If you’re on a budget, consider getting the Lovehoney Perfect Partner 6-inch.

Or if you just want a cheaper alternative, you can find a more budget alternative in this best penis sleeve list.

Why VixSkin Colossus is the best hollow dildo:

  • Design. Among the many aspects that made the VixSkin Colossus stand out, its hands-free design was the most practical. We tested numerous models, and the hassle of tangling a harness and the discomfort from extended wear led us to the hands-free hollow dildos. In addition, the hollow sheath’s tapered build significantly simplified penetration. The strap-on’s realistic design was another aspect we loved. Everything from the well-rounded head to the firm coronal ridge and natural-looking shaft with a network of veins running across each other made it look like a human dick,” said Sandra. “It’s one of the most realistic-looking hollow models, and people fascinated by anatomically correct sheaths will find it amusing.”
  • Handling. Positioning the sleeve correctly around an erect penis took a while, but the hands-free design made the overall experience straightforward. The stretchy yet firm strap kept the testicles in position and helped steer Colossus in the right direction.

Other Good Alternatives

Brent Corrigan dildoBrent Corrigan is a good option for those who want a product molded from a pornstar’s genitals. The silicone dildo was sculpted to look and feel like male adult content star Brent Corrigan. We loved the flexible silicone and the hefty size because they struck a balance between stretching and comfort. The cozy, realistic design lets you use the dildo with force without worrying about a sore vagina. In addition, the tapered build promotes a gentle stretching experience for beginners and experienced users. Unfortunately, Brent has a straight shape, and G-spot stimulation fans looking for a curved shaft might be disappointed and we recommend buying Vixskin Johhny instead.

Chrystalino GallantChrystalino Gallant. Glass dildos have a subtle and classy connotation that only luxury seekers can identify. Chrystalino Gallant is the best glass dildo, and it’s not hard to see why. The bulbous slight inward curve simplifies internal stimulation, significantly enhancing precision. In addition, the tapered tip makes penetration easier, an impressive feat for the often problematic glass toys.

Lovingjoy 6-Inch Inflatable DildoLovingjoy 6 Inch is a great option for inflatable sex toy fans. The silicone dildo inflates to a gigantic 11-inch for an exciting blend of pleasure and adventure. Notably, Lovingjoy doesn’t have a core, making it flexible. In addition, the easy-to-use pump and quick-release valve make it easy and safe to use.

The 12-inch long silicone double dildo has two identical heads, with minimal detailing and an overall easy-to-use design. Its 1.26″ wide body makes it ideal for different users, including beginners. And for a bargain price of $39.99, Colours provides an excellent value for money.

How To Use A Dildo?

Using a dildo doesn’t have to be complicated. Once you clean it, douche it with a generous amount of water-based lube. Pour some of the lube on yourself, and use the fingers to stimulate the clitoris, vagina, or backside. Once you’re ready, insert it gently, adjusting the angle and position for optimum comfort. More importantly, try different sex positions and switch between slow and rapid strokes to make the most out of it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What Does A Dildo Feel Like?

Of course, the feeling varies from one user to another, but having a meaty sex toy inside the vagina or ass is always climatic. The almost overwhelming feeling of fullness is satisfying. Models with vibrating and thrusting functions add a new dimension of excitement to self-pleasuring, making the experience more orgasmic.

How Much Do They Cost?

Like other sex toys, dildo prices vary greatly depending on variables like the material, size, features, brand, and extra bells and whistles. Our most affordable toys cost $24.99, while the most expensive is almost $600. We have reviewed products across the pricing spectrum, so you have a variety to choose from, regardless of your desired features.

What Lube To Use?

We recommend using a water-based lube with your dildo. Unlike oil and silicone-based lubricants, it doesn’t degrade the sex toy material. In addition, cleaning is much easier with a water-based lube.

How To Store A Dildo?

Once clean and dry, store the dildo in a cool and clean place. If you don’t have a sex toy storage box, spread a cotton shirt in your drawer and use it to hide your stash. Store products made from different materials separately and avoid direct sunlight.
