Dildos: Find the Best Dildo and Other Sex Toys

While in some cases, you get what you pay for, “there absolutely are sex toys for under $50 that are safe and well-made,” says Wright. Many of the budget-friendly options below are great for beginners, as luxury toys can have too many intimidating bells and whistles. Our favorite palm vibe, the Le Wand Point, has a sleek stainless steel handle and an uber-soft ridged silicone tip. The heavier steel end allows the toy to provide more pressure than an all-silicone option, Finn previously told SELF. Other nice-to-haves include an intuitive button display , a travel lock, and a fully waterproof design (shower sex, anyone?). Palm vibrators are named for the fact that they fit into Realistic Dildos, yep, the palm of your hand.

We also deeply appreciate that some of its couples bundles are built with the awareness that not all couples are one man and one woman. Many competitors offer couple’s bundles with a woman’s toy and a man’s toy, but We-Vibe mixes it up. Lovense offers an experience you won’t find elsewhere thanks to its partnerships with two dozen popular sites for cam performers. Everything happens through the company’s VibeMate smartphone app, which is distinct from the app you use to control your own toys. Pay close attention to the term “insertable length” when you see it. Not all companies advertise the total and insertable length, but it’s an important distinction, especially when a dildo features a base or a dedicated grip.

This dildo is designed to sit inside the vagina for g-spot stimulation while the wearer penetrates their partner. One customer agrees, writing, “Love feeling like I’m connected to my partner and love the wireless control.” For those into girthier, longer dildos, this product also comes in an XL size. Regardless of the material of your dildo, we recommend using a high-quality lube.

When I first saw these realistic dildos from Oxy Shop, I thought, “Okay, this looks intense.” And I was not wrong. With four sizes to choose from, I debated between playing it safe or going big. Let’s just say—whichever size you pick, you’re in for a ride.

And judging by the hundreds of dildos we’ve seen, that generally matches the hard data. There’s a lot of features packed into this medium-sized dildo (squirting, vibration, suction cup base). Available with either a suction cup base for hands-free play, or a clit-stimulating ‘saddle’ for strap on use. There are 9 sizes available ranging from 4.5 up to 9.2 inches of insertable length, and 1.4 to 2.5 inches of shaft diameter. So there’s pretty good variety for whatever shape you’re looking for, whether short and girthy, long and thin, or a more proportional size in between.

Avoid use with silicone lube and clean after use with mild soap and warm water. With the push of a button on the remote control, both partners can enjoy powerful vibrations coming from the motors in each end of this strapless strap-on. Manipulate and thrust with authority thanks to the thick and grippy handle!

And in that regard, there are around 20 VixSkin dildos to choose from. A very bulbous head means there’s little taper to warm up to the shaft of the toy. But it’s also great for stimulating the g-spot or prostate once inserted. The fact is that all of these materials are porous (and jellies are downright toxic), meaning they can harbor bacteria over time that you’ll never be able to clean out. The Lovehoney Desire Luxury Beaded Stainless Steel Dildo is great for those who love a varied sensation with every thrust. It’s the perfect blend of the pleasure you get from anal beads and the intensity provided by metal dildos.

(Don’t worry, we note which ones are anal-safe below.) Want some hands-free fun? Opt for a toy with a strong suction cup, says David Khalili, LMFT, a sex and relationship therapist. Many of the standard realistic dildos on the market may be girthier or longer than you’re used to.
