How To Choose a Dildo

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. This quick guide is designed to easily hook you up with your dream dick.

If you're looking for...	Try...
Realistic dildos	Vixskin toys like Outlaw and Bandit are scandalously realistic, made of medical grade silicone, and come with a lifetime warranty.
Non-realistic styling	The brightly-colored Stallion and Ophoria Pleasure No. 6 dildos provide a pleasing option for folks who don’t want their dildo to look like a penis.
Hand-held dildos	Hand-held dildos like the interchangeable Alumina Flow and the Pure Wand are great for self-use and for folks who love penetration but don’t want to deal with a strap on or dildo harness.
Double dildos	Double-ended dildos like the Nexus and the Share allow both partners to be penetrated simultaneously. Best when used with a harness.
Vibration	Feeldoe, a size-queens pet, the Vibrating Mistress, and the Smooth Operator are all silicone beauties that incorporate a mini-vibrator in the base. The vibrator can be removed during cleaning.
Anal action	Smaller dildos like the Silk are great for anal play beginners. Looking for something more unique? Try the wooden Flip dildo.
G-spot stimulation	G-spot toys all feature a distinct curve. If you’re looking for G-spot stimulation, try dildos with a curved tip, like the Curve, Pure Wand, and Jollie.
A bumpy ride	Dildos with ridges range from the textured Stallion to the Spine Tingler.
Smooth dildos	Silk silicone dildos are as smooth as their namesake.
Small dildos	Silk 1 and Mistress are perfect dildos for first time explorers of penetration—whether it’s anal or vaginal.
Big dildos	Randy, Outlaw, Rodeo Rick, Ultraskin Large, and the absolute titan of dildos, the Eleven, are dildos with generous proportions.
Medium-sized, all-around dildos	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.
Packer	Cyberskin soft packs are the standard choice for creating an enticing bulge. The Mr. Right packer is a long-lasting, high-quality toy made of 100% silicone.
Equally good for packing and playing	The Mr. Bendy and the Goodfella feature 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.
Firmer	Glass dildos like the Cascade Wand offer a rock hard fullness. The stainless steel Pure Wand (formerly Jupiter Wand) is a dream come true for g-spot and p-spot fans.
Inexpensive	Jelly rubber dildos like the Freshman and the Ballsy Supercock are very affordable. Just be sure to use a condom when using; jelly rubber is a porous material that gets dirty easily!

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 dildo harness or Commando harness.
