Dildos: Usage, Types, and Safety Tips
“Vibrators can be dual-acting; therefore, they provide internal and clitoral stimulation,” says Phillips. Dildos also tend to have a phallic shape, while vibrators have a greater range in shape. 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.
And unless the toy has some kind of flared base it may be tough to keep in pace (for both vaginal and anal penetration). But they do provide unique sensations that no other toy can match. There’s not as much variety to choose from here, but self-thrusting toys are fantastic for solo play or couples looking for unique new things to try.
However, harder toys deliver more intense, direct stimulation, which many silicone toys can’t. Rather than aiming for any sensation from the length of a butt-plug style dildo, these toys are designed to sit just inside your anus, giving a sense of fullness from their girth. A butt plug will usually taper quickly to create a slim section that your anus closes around – before flaring again to create a final flared base design for safety.
What made the Lovehoney Sensual Glass Double-Ended G-Spot Dildo stand out for me was the simple, elegant, and ergonomic design. It adds more versatility, variety, and I personally think it makes them look so distinguished. This means that you have options to choose from depending on your mood, experience level, or whether you’re using it vaginally or anally. I could not complete a round-up review of the best dildos out there without including a curved, glass dildo.
If you’re short on storage space, you’ll love this three-in-one vibrator from Playboy. One side has a round, squishy head that functions as an external vibe. The other (a.k.a. the handle) is a 5.75-inch long dildo with a motor inside that enables it to vibrate, twist, and twirl, so it can also target your G-spot—talk about multitasking. And since each side has a separate motor, you can use them independently.
Silicone Willy’s by Blush aren’t dual density, but they are great realistic dildos made of body-safe silicone. Conversely, there are also 100% smooth toys out there that are great for fast thrusting and more of a “grippy” action. Strap-on dildos may be double-ended, meant to be worn by users who want to experience vaginal or anal penetration while also penetrating a partner. In order to choose the right product for you, you’ll first need to narrow down the type of product you want.
The A-spot, or the anterior fornix, sits 1-2 inches past the G-spot just below the bladder and above the cervix, and stimulation of it can produce uniquely pleasurable sensations. Longer, wider dildos are more likely to reach this spot, and it may also be massaged indirectly by using a dildo anally. For the past few months, Women’s Health editors, including love and life editor Lydia Wang, have been researching the bestselling, most popular, and top-rated dildos. Our team consulted AASECT-certified sex therapist Jenni Skyler, PhD, and Lisa Finn, a sex educator and marketing director for sex toy emporium Babeland Inflatable Dildos , for the story. This smooth, stainless steel dildo is on the pricier side, but rave reviewers agree that it’s worth every penny.
Securing a dildo inside a harness is one of the many ways a dildo can be used. Unfortunately, buying the two sex aids separately can be expensive. So, if you’re brand new to strap-on play, keep it simply by getting this pegging kit, which features an adjustable, jock-style harness and 5-inch, beginner friendly dildo. Though some reviewers found that the harness may not be able to fit bigger bodies. Available in a wide variety of skin-tones, this pack-and-play six-incher has a bendable core that allows you to adjust the angle of penetration. Packers, explains Queen, are products designed to be worn under clothes to create the appearance of bulge.
