Before You Begin: Choose the Right Dildo
Over the last 30,000 years that dildos have been around, we have been able to perfect the shape and design of them. As we learnt more about the human body, we have been able to design sex toys that stimulate erogenous zones more directly than ever before. That is why choosing the right dildo is extremely important.
To help you buy the right dildo for you or your partner, you must first know about the different types of dildos that are available to buy. Below we briefly outline the different types of dildos that are available to buy!
Anal Dildos
Anal Dildos are a type of dildo that has been specifically designed for anal penetration. These anal toys are great for people who enjoy a bit of bum fun.
What makes anal dildos different from other types of dildos is that they feature a slimmer shaft. This makes penetration very simple and straight forward. Anal dildos also feature a large or flared base. This is a feature that many anal sex toys have and is like this in order to prevent the dildo from being fully absorbed into your rectum.
Double Ended Dildos
Double ended dildos, double dildos, or double penetration dildos are a type of sex toy that is designed to be used for dual penetration, be it solo or with a partner. Double ended dildos usually feature two phallic heads that are joined together. One side may be slightly slimmer than the other, making it more suited for anal penetration, whilst the other would be more suited for vaginal penetration.
You can use a double ended dildo during your solo masturbation sessions. This type of dildo is perfect for those who want to experience double penetration without the hassle of having to orchestrate getting more people involved! Double dildos are usually very flexible, allowing you to bend them. This means that you can use one for vaginally penetration whilst you use the other for anal penetration.
Double dildos are also great to use with a partner, and in fact are a very popular type of lesbian sex toy. When using a double ended dildo with another partner you would both insert the dildo into your preferred orifice and use it together.
Glass Dildos
Glass dildos are a very popular type of dildo that are made from…. you guessed it…GLASS! These dildos are heavier than other dildos, making them great to provide even more pressure to your erogenous zones.
Glass dildos come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, and often look more like artistic sculptures rather than sex toys. Glass dildos are usually designed with raised nodules or additional ridges to provide you with even more sexual stimulation when using them.
Glass sex toys, in general, allow you to apply even more pressure to your erogenous zones, like the g-spot, making these sex toys some of the best to help you squirt.
G-spot Dildos
G-spot dildos are a type of dildo that usually feature a curved shaft that allows for targeted g-spot stimulation. These sex toys come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, but all feature the curved shaft in common.

Realistic Dildos
Realistic dildos are sexual penetration toys that are designed to look, and often feel just like the human penis. These sex toys usually feature raised veins for additional internal stimulation and may also feature balls to make them even more realistic.
Realistic dildos are usually made from materials like TPE or PVC. TPE is a softer material that makes them feel very life-like. Dildos that are made from this material are usually referred to as ‘real feel’ sex toys.
Large Dildos
Large dildos are designed for more experienced sex toy users, or for those who want to experience a more full feeling. These dildos are often larger than life, and are definitely not for beginners.
Big dildos are ideal if you want to experience an extra few inches in length and girth, giving the user a truly full feeling. They come in a large variety, but are mainly designed to have a realistic appearance.
Non Phallic Dildos
Non-phallic dildos are a type of sexual penetration toy that are designed to look unrealistic, often designed not to resemble the human penis.
These dildos come in a variety of different materials, with the most popular being glass and silicone. They also come in a variety of different shapes and sizes but are designed to be as unrealistic as possible.
Strap-on Dildos
Strap-on Dildos are a penetration toy that usually features a suction cup. The suction cup can be used to attach the dildo to a strap-on harness. This then turns the sex toy into a strap-on dildo.
Strap-on dildos are designed to be worn by one partner, who then penetrates another partner. There are a few different varieties of strap-on dildos, including; double penetration, g-spot; prostate; textured; and penis extensions. Penis extensions are hollow dildos that are designed to be worn by a man, who would then penetrate their partner. Hollow dildos are perfect for men who want to increase their size, or by those who suffer from erectile dysfunction.
