11 of the best dildos you can buy

If you’re on the market for a new dildo, you’ll quickly learn how many different varieties you can shop. Like human bodies, dildos come in many shapes, sizes, and feels. A material you love may not work for someone else, while a bestselling model may not strike your particular fancy. As you’re researching the best dildos out there, we’ve taken a look at 11 of the best ones you can shop from SheVibe.

Here are some of the best dildos you can buy right now.

1. A small, adaptable dildo: Fun Factory Limba Flex S

Bigger isn’t always better. Whether you’re looking for the best anal dildo or for a vaginal option on the smaller side, the small Limba Flex is a lithe, adaptable option in a gorgeous turquoise color.

The Limba Flex has a slim, poseable shaft that you can bend to hit any spot. An enclosed wire inside the silicone body is flexible enough to easily adjust with your hands, but sturdy enough to stay in place during the action. To use it for pegging to hit the prostate in a from-behind position, bend it with a downward curve. To use it to hit the g-spot in a face-to-face position, bend it with an upward curve.

The small Limba Flex has a 4.33-inch insertable length and 1.1-inch diameter. For something just a bit bigger, the Limba Flex also comes in medium, with 6.69” insertable length and 1.2-inch diameter.

2. A realistic strap-on dildo: Vixen Creations Mustang

If you plan to own only one dildo, make it a Mustang.

Dual-density silicone is one of the best innovations of the sex toy world, and with skin-like VixSkin, Vixen Creations has it down to a science. Its dual-density VixSkin dildos have a squishier, softer outer layer—often considered more realistic—with a firm inner core that ensures the toy stays in place. The surface texture is tactile and elastic, while the core is sturdy and compatible with enthusiastic penetration.

The Mustang is a dual-density VixSkin dildo and one of the best of its kind. It has 6.5 inches of insertable length and is 1.5 inches in diameter, or big enough to be interesting without being too much of a stretch (pun intended), especially since the squish in the outer layer means it feels a little smaller than a single-density dildo of the same size. It has a gentle curve and slightly pronounced head, with some realistic shape and vein details. The Mustang is strap-on harness compatible, though the diameter means that with underwear-style harnesses the wearer should leave themselves an extra minute or two to work it through the o-ring.

The Mustang comes in three flesh tones as well as tie bright and other less realistic colors. If you’d prefer a squishier base, the Mustang Royale comes in three flesh tones: caramel, chocolate, and vanilla. Pair it with more water-based lube than you think you need.

3. A best anal dildo: Vixen Creations Spur

If you’re intrigued by the Mustang but looking for an anal-compatible dildo that’s a little bit smaller, the Spur uses the same technology in a smaller package and is one of the best anal dildos out there.

The Spur is 4.75-inch of insertable length and 1.25-inch in diameter, and squishy VixSkin means it’ll feel a little softer and smaller than a single-density dildo of the same size. It has an obvious curve that makes it perfect for hitting the prostate or g-spot without accidental poking on the way. It also has a base that’s safe for anal and strap-on harness compatible. It comes in vanilla, caramel, or chocolate colors.

Pair Spur with plenty of thick, water-based lube. When you’re done, wash it with antimicrobial soap and hot water, and disinfect it by boiling it for three minutes or running it through the dishwasher on the top rack.

4. A metal g-spot dildo: nJoy Pure Wand

A lot of dildos have curves and more pronounced heads that can hit a g-spot in just the right way. But none of them are the nJoy Pure Wand. The Pure Wand is a double-ended steel dildo with a mirror finish and a hefty weight. It’s luxuriously weighty, cool to the touch unless you run it under warmer (or even colder) water, and retains temperature beautifully.

The larger end is 1.5 inches in diameter, while the smaller is 1 inch, in diameter, and the shaft between them is narrower. It has about 8 inches of insertable length, and the curve and narrow shaft make it seem smaller than its dimensions show. To clean the Pure Wand, use antimicrobial soap and water, run it through the dishwasher, or boil it—just be careful to let it cool before handling.

5. A non-phallic dildo: Chakrubs The Original Heart

How do you make a dildo that doesn’t look like a body part? One answer is to turn to nature. Chakrubs prides itself on being the Original Crystal Sex Toy Company that makes several non-phallic dildos, massagers, and Yoni Eggs made entirely of crystals. The brand was founded by Vanessa Cuccia who introduced crystals as a form of sexual healing and empowerment. Its toys are made of all-natural gorgeous crystals including Rose Quartz, Black Obsidian, Orange Aventurine, and more.

Chakrubs's The Original Heart Rose Quartz Crystal Dildo is lightweight and solid. It's 7 inches long with a 6-inch insertable length and 1.9-inch width at its widest point. It's entirely natural and has a smooth surface to relieve muscular and emotional tension.

6. A dildo with something a little extra: Fun Factory Bouncer

Used alone, the Bouncer is completely unremarkable. Used with a strap-on harness, or in the palm of an enthusiastic partner who has a bit of endurance, it becomes a whole other experience.

The Bouncer is a single-density silicone dildo with a matte texture. It has 7 inches of insertable length and is 1.5 inches in diameter at its widest point. What makes it unique is three gentle waves in the shaft, each of which contains a rotating ball. With its flat base, you could suction the Bouncer against a stable surface and enjoy the ridges and g-spot- or prostate-targeting curve, but the dildo’s true charms come out when it’s in motion. The weighted balls add an extra level of sensation, while the firm-yet-flexible silicone maintains its shape and helps the curved end hit the spot. The base is wide enough to be anal safe and the dildo is fully waterproof, so you can clean it with antimicrobial soap and hot water or you can boil it to disinfect.

7. A pack-and-play dildo: New York Toy Collective Shilo

A good pack-and-play dildo doesn’t prioritize either packing (wearing the dildo under your clothes) or playing (having sex), but is equally great for both. It needs to be flexible enough to move with your body, and rigid enough to stay inside someone else’s. This means the posable, dual-density silicone Shilo is practically perfect. Bend it down so it stays flat against your body, bend it out for strap-on sex, and adjust the curve according to whether the receiving partner likes more or less intense g-spot or prostate stimulation. (The pronounced head makes Shilo absolutely perfect for both.)

Shilo has 6.25 inches of insertable length and is 1.5 inches in diameter. Its surface is matte with light textural details and a realistic shape, which is heightened in one of the four flesh tone options and lessened in the more playful ones like wildberry and blue and yellow. It’s fully waterproof, so you can boil it to disinfect it.

8. A vaginal plug dildo: Uberrime Sensi

Dildos are often about thrusting and motion, with shapes designed to match—but just because that’s a default doesn’t mean it’s the only option.

The Sensi vaginal plug by Uberrime is shaped to reward clenching rather than thrusting. It’s squishy with a very defined curve and an even more pronounced head for g-spot stimulation, and a mid-shaft ridge to create a feeling of fullness. It has a soft, narrow base with a small flare so the plug is comfortable to wear for hours, whether around the bedroom or around the house. (That same base makes the Sensi unsafe for anal, though if you’re interested in a less g-spot-focused option that can do both check out Uberrime’s Sentio.)

Like other Uberrime toys, the Sensi is hand-poured so each has a slightly unique pattern or color. Like other silicone toys, care for it by washing it with anti-microbial soap and hot water, disinfect it by boiling it or running it through on the top rack of the dishwasher, and pair it with plenty of water-based lube.

9. A squirting dildo: Tantus POP Dildo

Whether for reasons of gender, disability, BDSM, artificial insemination, or all of the above, sometimes you just want a dildo that ejaculates. The POP Dildo has been through a few iterations since it began life as the Semenette, created by a queer woman-owned company, and is a squirting dildo made of body-safe silicone in a few colors.

The updated and now Tantus-owned POP Dildo is single-density silicone with 6.5 inches of insertable length and is 1.5 inches in diameter. It has a noticeable head to hit the g-spot or prostate, and some light texture on the shaft. It’s compatible with strap-on harnesses and o-rings, and you can boil it or put it in the top rack of a dishwasher to disinfect it—just make sure you remove the accessories first. The standard model comes with three tubes and three tips for carrying whatever you want to come out of it, along with a syringe that holds 2 milliliters. You can also buy a refill kit with three additional tubes and tips, and a larger 20 milliliters syringe.

10. The best double-ended dildo: Your two faves + New York Toy Collective Double-Sided Suction Cup

Most double-ended dildos are deeply not good. Many fall into the wrong part of the uncanny valley, many more aren’t made of quality silicone, and even if you find something that works for one partner, the chances of the dimension, texture, and aesthetic working for both are not high. There’s only one real solution: make your own.

The silicone Double-Sided Suction Cup from New York Toy Collective turns two dildos with smooth bases into one. Make sure both dildo bases and the suction cup are clean and dust free. Then simply get both ends and the suction cup sides a bit wet (...with water) and stick them all together. Not sold on double-ended dildos conceptually? You can also use the suction cup to attach a dildo with a smooth, flat, non-suction base to a smooth surface like a wall.

The Double-Sided Suction Cup is 2.5 inches in diameter and can support dildos that weigh up to 3 pounds. Clean it with antimicrobial soap and hot water.

11. A very straightforward silicone dildo: Tantus Silk

If you want a simple, no-frills, not realistic, inexpensive silicone dildo, try a Tantus Silk. It has a smooth, featureless shaft, a head that’s the same diameter as the insertable body (a plus for those who don’t enjoy g-spot or prostate stimulation), and a base that’s safe for anal. It’s fairly firm—more-luxurious-feeling dual-density silicone tends to be more expensive—but not impossibly so. It comes in small (4.25 inches insertable and 0.8 inch in diameter), medium (5.25 inches insertable and 1.1 inches in diameter), or large (7 inches insertable and 1.5 inches in diameter), which can make it a good pick for a first dildo when you want a smaller option or to try the same toy in different sizes so you can discover what you like.

How to shop for the best dildo

The very best dildo is a matter of personal taste—but there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Material: Silicone is a common material that’s body safe, non-porous, and easy to clean. Standard silicone toys are the same density throughout, while dual-density silicone are softer on the outside with firmer cores. Some silicone dildos are even posable. For more intense stimulation, try other materials like stainless steel or sealed wood.

• Size: Compare the measurements against an existing fave if possible. Otherwise, beginners or folks with sensitive anatomy tend to prefer toys that are a little smaller. It’s often hotter to like and want more of something than to be so uncomfortable you can’t use what’s there. Consider how material relates to size, too, since a dildo in dual-density silicone will have a lot more give than one made of stainless steel.

• Shape: Ridges often feel more intense during thrusting motions compared to straighter shafts. Dildos with bigger bulbs on the end provide more stimulation to a g-spot or prostate. If a shaft has a slight curve it can feel like it works more with the body, and a more pronounced curve can also target a g-spot or prostate. If you plan to use your dildo for strap-on sex or pegging and you like to switch positions, a less intense curve, a posable dildo, or some patience can all help make finding the right angle (usually with the head pointing towards the receptive partner’s anterior wall) easier.

• Intentions: A good dildo is adaptable, but let’s face it: you probably have an idea of how you want to use yours. If it’s for anal, choose a toy with a base that’s bigger than the widest part of the shaft so that it doesn’t get lost inside you. If it’s for strap-on sex, make sure the diameter of the largest part of the shaft is compatible with the o-ring on your harness. If it’s for pack and play, posable dildos are more likely to stay in place. And if it’s for endless solo g-spot or prostate orgasms, then skip right down to the Pure Wand.
