As amazing as it is to have pages and pages of sex toy options, it can be overwhelming when you’re just trying to find the best dildo.
While a lot of people start with a vibrator, dildos can also be amazing starter toys or partner toys that can hook into strap-on harnesses, and can even train your vaginal canal to gradually accept bigger and bigger girths. Dildos come in many different shapes, sizes, and materials. They can look like a real penis, be elegant, sleek, or joyfully colorful, or even made in fantastical shapes like tentacles or dragon heads. There are dildos for different purposes—some that suction onto a shower wall, some that are made to be part of a strap-on, some that have dual ends, and some that have two dildos in one for double penetration.
Choosing the right dildo
“When buying a sex toy, remember that every body is different and everyone enjoys different things,” Byrony Cole, Lovehoney’s sex tech expert, tells SELF. “You are unique in your choice so go your own way and remember there is no ‘normal!’”
When choosing a dildo, there are several questions you want to ask yourself. “Have a size range in mind,” Ashley Cobb, Lovehoney sex toy educator, tells SELF. “Do you want a dildo that is 10 inches or 5? Are you a fan of girthy or narrow? What type of dildo are you looking for? Dildos can vibrate, be realistic, fleshlike, or both. And lastly, know the purpose. Will this dildo be used with a strap or only during solo play? Knowing the answers to these questions beforehand can save a lot of time when shopping.”

Cole also recommends knowing the answers to these three questions: “Have you used a toy before? Are you going to be using it by yourself or with a partner? Do you want a toy that is internal, external, or both?”
Start slow and keep an open mind.
If it’s your first toy, Cole suggests starting small and simple. For partnered play, she likes Njoy’s P-spot and G-spot toys. And if you want something purely external, she recommends something smooth and sleek made from a material that can be heated or cooled for sensation play. The gist is that the best dildo is a myth: But somewhere out there is the best dildo for you.
Once you’ve answered those questions for yourself, take a look through these 30 dildos to find the perfect toy.
