— A considered edit

Dildos, properly chosen.

Body-safe materials, considered design, discreet packaging. A curated edit of dildos that actually deserve a place in the drawer.

— Where to start

The dildo is the oldest and most misunderstood product in the category. For years it's been defined by extremes — either novelty pieces in lurid colours, or unbranded silicone you wouldn't trust in your hand. Neither version flatters the buyer.

The modern dildo is a different proposition: medical-grade silicone, considered shape, neutral colourway. Brands like Lovense, Doxy, and Tantus have rebuilt the category from the ground up. Glass and metal options add a different sensation entirely — properly weighted, temperature-responsive, beautifully made.

This guide covers what genuinely matters before you buy: material first, shape second, intensity third. Get those right and you've already filtered out 90% of the market.

— What separates a good dildo from a great one

How we choose.

  • i.
    Material above all Medical-grade silicone, glass, or stainless steel. Phthalate-free, always. Avoid TPR/TPE and jelly materials — they're porous and impossible to properly clean.
  • ii.
    Shape and curve A subtle upward curve targets the G-spot naturally. Realistic shapes for those who want them, abstract shapes for those who don't. Length matters less than girth for most users.
  • iii.
    Base type A flared base is non-negotiable for anal use. A suction-cup base opens up hands-free positions. Some include harness-compatibility for strap-on use.
  • iv.
    Weight and finish Glass and stainless steel dildos are properly weighted — a genuinely different experience from silicone. Look for smooth, seamless finishing without sharp edges.
  • v.
    Cleanability Non-porous materials can be properly cleaned with warm soapy water or toy cleaner. Boilable silicone is the gold standard. If it can't be properly cleaned, it shouldn't be inside you.

Pleasure deserves the same standard you'd apply to anything else.

— Common questions, answered properly

Frequently asked.

What's the best material for a dildo?

Medical-grade silicone is the most popular choice — body-safe, non-porous, easy to clean, with a soft skin-like finish. Glass and stainless steel are excellent alternatives offering temperature play and proper weight. Avoid jelly, TPR, or TPE materials — they're porous and can harbour bacteria.

What size dildo should I start with?

For beginners, look for something around 5-6 inches in length and 1-1.5 inches in girth. Most people find girth matters more than length for sensation. Always use plenty of water-based lubricant — even small dildos benefit from generous lube.

What's the difference between a dildo and a vibrator?

A dildo is non-vibrating — purely shape-based stimulation. A vibrator adds motorised vibration.

Many people use both for different sensations. Vibrating dildos combine the two.

Are glass dildos safe?

Yes — quality glass dildos are made from borosilicate glass (the same material as Pyrex), which is exceptionally durable and body-safe. They can be warmed in warm water or chilled for temperature play. Inspect occasionally for any chips or cracks before use.

How do you clean a dildo?

For silicone, glass, or stainless steel: warm water and unscented soap, or a dedicated toy cleaner. Silicone dildos can also be boiled for 3-5 minutes for deep sterilisation (silicone only — not for those with electronic components). Dry thoroughly before storage.

Can dildos be used with a partner?

Absolutely — and many couples find them excellent for shared exploration. Some dildos are designed specifically for partner use with harness-compatible bases (strap-ons). Communication, lubrication, and pace matter more than the toy itself.
