How to Choose a Dildo
by Alicia Guinn



Dildos are popular because penetration feels good. People from across the spectrum of gender and sexual orientation love penetration and love dildos.

Dildo shopping involves a lot of personal preference. Shape, size, texture, style, and color are all up to you. We carry a large variety of dildos because everyone’s preference is different. But don't worry; we have some tips that will simplify your shopping experience and help you hook up with your dream dick.


Dildo 101

Materials are one of the most important considerations in choosing a dildo. Non-porous materials like silicone, pyrex, and stainless steel are Babeland favorites because they are the easiest to care for and last much longer than porous materials like jelly rubber or cyberskin.

If you’re looking for a dildo to use with a harness, you’re in luck. Most of the dildos we carry are designed to be used in harnesses. Look for a toy with a wide base that won’t slip through the ring on your harness. Dildos with balls fit best in harnesses like the Terra Firma or Commando.

Favorites

 

Realistic design?

Vixskin toys like Buck and Bandit are scandalously realistic, made of medical grade silicone, and come with a lifetime warranty.

Non-realistic styling?

The brightly-colored Siren series of dildos provides a pleasing option for folks who don’t want their dildo to look like a penis.

Hand-held?

Hand-held dildos like G-Force and the Lumina Wand are great for self-use and for folks who love penetration but don’t want to strap it on.

A double-ended dildo?

Double-ended dildos like the Nexus allow both partners to be penetrated simultaneously. Best when used with a harness.

Vibration?

Buzz 1 and Smooth Operator are both silicone dildos that incorporate a mini-vibrator in the base. The vibrator can be removed during cleaning. 

Anal action?

Smaller dildos like the Spur are great for anal play beginners. The longer, thicker Mistress is our most popular anal dildo.

G-spot stimulation?

G-spot toys all feature a firm curve. If you’re looking for g-spot action, try curvy dildos like Colt and G-Spot Pearl.

Bumpy?

Dildos with ridges range from the textured Goddess to the seriously bumpy Spine Tingler.

Smooth?

Silk dildos are as smooth as their namesake.

Small?

Both the Bond and the Silk 1 are finger-sized delights. They are perfect dildos for first time explorers of penetration, whether it’s anal or vaginal.

Big?

Randy, Outlaw, Rodeo Rick, and Sire are dildos with generous proportions.

A good, medium-sized all-around dildo?

Woody and Leo aren’t too big or too small. They’re a good middle-of-the-road size if you’re buying a dildo without a particular partner in mind.

Luxury

Unique, sensually-designed dildos like the Flip and the premium Jollie silicone dildo.

Flip Wooden dildo

Equally good for packing and playing

The Mr. Bendy features a flexible core that makes it easy to pack, but it is still firm enough for fucking.

Squishier?

Folks with sensitive cervixes often prefer softer, squishier dildos like the Tex and Cotton Candy.

Firmer?

Glass dildos like the Scepter and stainless steel toys like the Jupiter Wand are a dream come true for g-spot and p-spot fans.

Inexpensive?

Jelly rubber dildos like Ballsy Supercock and Big Red are affordable. They are also made of porous materials that get dirty quickly and should be covered by a condom when in use.
