How to Choose a Dildo: Sizes, Shapes & Materials Explained

The right dildo depends on your anatomy, experience, and what kind of sensation you're after. Here's how to narrow it down.

Pick your size

Beginners are usually most comfortable with 4–6 inch insertable lengths and 1–1.5 inch widths.

Shape and curve

Curved dildos target the G-spot or P-spot, while straight ones offer more versatile angles.

Material guide

Silicone is body-safe, easy to clean, and warms to body temperature. Glass and stainless steel are firmer and great for temperature play.
