So, you’ve decided to forego the vibrators with their batteries and plugs. You’re going for the basic, dependable, hand-operated dildo. Well, that makes sense, since real penises don’t vibrate anyway. Dildos come in all shapes, sizes and materials. With the large variety of dildos available on today’s market, it isn’t always easy to choose the right one. Here’s a simple little guide to the types of dildos available to help you choose the toy that best suits your needs.

Types of Dildos:

Traditional Dildos

A traditional dildo usually looks very much like a penis, is made of various materials and comes in bright colors. They follow the basic design of a penis and come in sizes from small (five inches) to enormous (ten inches or more.) For the person who enjoys the feeling of being filled to the brim, the larger sizes are perfect..

Realistic Dildos

These dildos are actually made from the molds of real penises and often manufactured with materials that are comparable to real skin, with realistic color, look and feel. Some of these very realistic-looking toys even have balls attached to be even more life-like. Dildos that are molded from the tools of popular male porn stars are available for those of us who like to add a little fantasy to the mix.

Double-headed Dildos

This type of dildo is very long and flexible with a “head” at both ends. It can be used for double penetration on yourself or with a partner for a shared sexual experience. Some of these kinds of dildos have hand grips attached for better control. You definitely get a two for one when you purchase this versatile sex toy.

Anal Dildo

This dildo is made for safe and enjoyable anal penetration. An anal dildo is smaller than those dildos made for vaginal insertion, measuring only about five or six inches in length, and about an inch in girth. An anal dildo comes with a wider base to make sure it stays in place and isn’t lost during spirited use. A nice addition to any collection.

G-Spot Dildos

A G-Spot dildo is designed to stimulate your g-spot when used. It usually has somewhat of a curve or a nub on the tip, and some types can be warmed or cooled to provide additional sensations. G-spot dildos are supposed to intensify orgasms. If that isn’t worth an investment, I don’t know what is.

Strap-On Dildos

These type of dildo can be fit into a harness or used kits own. The harnesses can be adjusted to size. They are great for penetrating an experimental male partner, or used by a male who likes the idea of double penetration.

Suction Cup Dildos

This last little gem comes with a suction cup that you can attach to smooth surfaces, like the shower wall or edge of the bathtub. It leaves your hands free to do other things as you enjoy yourself. A great dildo for a bit of wet, naughty fun.
