I selected these picks based on hands-on testing, customer feedback, material quality, and how beginner friendly each design feels during real use.

Inflatable dildos are best for people who want more control over size and fullness during play. I found they work especially well for anyone curious about gradual stretching or adjustable sensations without committing to one fixed size.

During testing, I focused on how easy each model was to inflate, how stable it felt during use, and how comfortable it was to clean and maintain.

Uncut dildos are best for anyone who values realism and wants a toy that closely mimics the look and feel of an uncircumcised penis.

This guide to the best dual density dildos focuses on models that balance realism, comfort, and build quality. Each pick was selected based on hands-on testing, material quality, features like suction or vibration, and consistent customer feedback. The goal was to highlight options that work well across different experience levels and preferences without overcomplicating the choice.

Finding the perfect dildo involves careful consideration of the features and, of course, finding the correct dildo size. We have prepared a complete guide to dildo sizing to help you learn how to measure your vagina to find the size you can safely and comfortably manage. Before we go into more detail, we need to clear something up – the size of an average erect penis is about 5.5 inches in length and about 4.5 to 5 inches in circumference, or about 1.5 inches in diameter. That should make things more clear, as this is the average size most vaginas can take comfortably. But because not all vaginas are alike, we’ll explain how to measure your vagina to find the perfect dildo size. How to Measure Yourself for a Dildo? To measure, you will need a vibrator, dildo, or another phallic item that is long and smooth so you can use it as an insertable toy. Always clean the toy you’ll use, and also get a soft tape measure and follow these steps to measure your vagina: When you are aroused, the vagina elongates and can accommodate a longer size toy/penis, so make sure you are sufficiently aroused when measuring. Lie back and do the things that stimulate you, or even get your partner to help you with arousal. When you are adequately aroused, you can slide the phallic object into your vagina. When it reaches the furthest point, mark the point, remove the object, and measure from the tip to the length you’ve inserted – now you have the maximum dildo length you can manage. We recommend you use your (or your partner’s) fingers to measure the girth the vagina can safeely manage. Simply slide fingers into the vagina, one finger at a time, until you reach the limit you can comfortably enjoy. Remove the fingers and wrap the tape measure around the fingers to get the circumference you can safely manage. To get the diameter, you can simply divide the circumference by 3.14 (Pi), and you’ll get the dildo diameter. Main Dildo Measurement and Sizes You need to know the four main measurements of dildos when you shop for the perfect dildo toy: Total length – The complete length of the dildo from end to end; this measurement includes a suction cup base or a handle. Insertable length – the length of the toy that you can insert. Width/diameter – the distance between the opposite sides of the toy. Girth/circumference – the circumference of the dildo at its widest point. How to Compare Different Dildos in Length? The good folks at Pipedream created this visual showing the difference between some of their most popular dildos – the King Cock dildo product line and an average soda can. The following images will help you visually compare different dildo sizes: How to Compare Different Dildos in Width? In general, the longer the dildo, the thicker it’s going to be. This is because most realistic dildos use proportionate dimensions. Measuring width is pretty straightforward. The width is the length across the broadest part of the dildo. The chart below shows you a comparison between the width and girth of an average male penis and different dildo sizes: Width Approximate Girth 1 Inch 3 to 3.5 Inches 1.25 Inches 3.75 to 4 Inches 1.5 Inches 4.5 to 4.75 Inches (Average erect penis size) 1.75 Inches 5 to 5.5 Inches 2 Inches 5.5 to 6.75 Inches 2.5 Inches 7 to 7.75 Inches 3 Inches 8 to 8.5 Inches Sizing for Realistic Dildos A realistic skin dildo is soft to deliver that required realistic feel. These can be purchased a little larger as they will mold to the body. To find the ideal size, you need to find the circumference that your vagina will match. To measure yourself, follow the instructions for regular dildos to find out the size you can comfortably accommodate. The realistic dildos range from small circumferences of between 2 and 3 inches all the way to a more extensive range of 8 inches and above. Shop All Realisitc Dildos ===COLLECTION=== Sizing for Silicone Dildos Silicone dildos come in all manner of designs, so it is good to know the extent of what size your vagina can comfortably accommodate.

The insertable length can begin at around 5 inches and can go the range of over 12 inches or more.

Shop All Small Dildos ===COLLECTION=== Sizing for Strapless Strap-ons Sizing for strapless dildos is different from other dildo types. Because of their design, lengths are limited to around 7 inches, any more than this, it would be difficult to hold them in place. The wearer needs to know the size of the bulb that will fit into her vagina. This is the widest part which sits on a thinner neck. The wearer needs to be sufficiently stimulated before the partner slides fingers in to the point where the vagina shows resistance. This will be the widest point the bulb stretches the vagina, so measure it with the measuring tape around the widest part to give you the circumference. The circumference of strapless dildos ranges from just under 4 inches to around 5.5 inches.

Shop All Vibrating Dildos ===COLLECTION=== Sizing for Male Dildos It’s very different measuring for an anal dildo than a regular one. To get this right, it’s best to ask a partner to help so you can relax. The whole point of anal is to feel the stretching more than length. However, the anal dildos do come with girth. Anal dildos come in widths (diameter) a little under 1 inch and go up to a range of almost 2 inches in width. The length range from around 5 inches up to 12 inches (or above).The way to measure your anus elasticity is to get on all fours, spread your legs and relax. Your partner should lube your anus well, and also their fingers. Until you are fully relaxed, they should begin with one finger, and after a while, slide in a second. This can be repeated until you are at your most relaxed and have found your limit. At this point, they can withdraw their fingers so you can measure around them with the soft tape measure. This is the circumference or the girth the male dildo you should start with. Shop All Male Dildos ===COLLECTION=== Learn More With Our Other Sex Toy Guides: How to Choose Kegel Balls?

Unlike standard strap-ons, the hollow design allows the wearer to insert themselves into the toy, making the experience more interactive and connected. This category is particularly appealing for men who want a wearable option that supports shared stimulation and a more involved role during partnered play. I created this guide to the best hollow strap-ons by narrowing in on models with clearly defined features such as hollow construction, vibration, remote control functionality, squirting capability, and realistic design elements. Each selection serves a specific purpose, from beginner-friendly sizing to enhanced stimulation or visual realism, while keeping the emphasis on comfort, usability, and practical, wearable pleasure.
