A dildo is a sex toy, sometimes but not always explicitly phallic in appearance, intended for penetrative sex or other sexual activity during masturbation or with sex partners. Dildos can be made from a number of materials - most popularly silicone, metal, or glass - and come in all different shapes and textures - like representational or realistic dildos that look like a penis, smooth dildos for pegging, ridged dildos for extra sensation, or even fantasy dildos in unique shapes like unicorn horns or tentacles!

The best kind of dildo is the one that fits your needs! Here are some of the styles available:

• Strap-on dildos can be worn hands-free with a harness for vaginal or anal (pegging) penetration.
• Double-ended dildos provide stimulation for two partners at once, or for double penetration.
• Handheld dildos are great for solo play, or partnered play without using a harness.
• Vibrating dildos add extra stimulation through vibration for an added element to penetrative play.
• Realistic dildos give the look and feel of an anatomical penis, for those looking to mimic the feeling of a body, or for gender affirmation.

Yes, as long as it has a flared base to anchor it outside of the body - like a strap-on dildo or an anal dildo / pegging dildo. Make sure to definitely use lube for any anal penetrative play.

Nope! Dildos can be enjoyed with or without a partner. You can use your favorite dildo held in your hands for solo exploration, and suction cup dildos can attach to a hard surface for hands-free play. There are also toy mounts that can hold your dildo in place so you can ride and explore different positions, even if you don't have a partner.

Yes! We always recommend using a high-quality lube with your toys to reduce friction for a more pleasurable experience and to avoid injury or discomfort. Water based lube options are compatible with any toy material. If your toy is made of a hard material like metal or glass, you can use a longer-lasting silicone lubricant (just don't pair silicone lube with silicone toys).
