What Size is Best for a Complete Beginner?
If you are looking for your very first insertable toy, and don’t have much experience with penetrative sex or masturbation, you’ll definitely want to start out small.
If you’re planning on using your dildo vaginally then I’d recommend starting with a dildo between 4 to 5.1 inches in length, with a girth of 1.5 inches or less.
For anal use I’d shoot for 3 to 5 inches in length with a maximum girth of 1.5 (although I’d suggest closer to 1 inch in most cases!).

Why I Chose It
I picked out the Lovehoney Curved Suction Cup Dildo as the Test Winner of this review because it’s a great all-rounder. It combines quality materials, ergonomic design, and ease of use in one easily accessible (and affordable) product. It may look very simple but it offers more than meets the eye. Our tester, Ashley, was also a bit skeptical at first:
“My first impression of the Lovehoney Curved 7″ Silicone Suction Cup Dildo was a little underwhelming at first. It didn’t look like much, and I wasn’t sure what to think about it. After using it however, I changed my mind pretty quick!”
It’s a great dildo for beginners because of the slim shape and diameter of 1.5 at the widest point. It’s also super flexible which makes it seem a lot less intimidating to complete beginners. While it isn’t the slimmest dildo on this list, it’s the kind of dildo you can grow with as you get more and more comfortable with penetrative play.
One of the reasons why it can be entertaining for intermediate users as well is the versatility. The flared suction cup base allows you to use it for anal penetration (and prostate stimulation), strap-on play, and for vigorous hands-free riding! The cherry on top? The small space for a bullet vibrator really amps up the pleasure you get to experience with this dildo. I know that most basic silicone dildos don’t offer this feature. It’s a minor detail but it make a lot of difference for those wanting to explore internal vibrations. According to the online reviews on Lovehoney, the vibrations also travel pretty well through the silicone which isn’t always the case with poorer quality silicone dildos.
