6 Best Dildos for Beginners

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.

Why I Chose It

The Tantus Charmer is a fantastic choice for beginners. I picked it out as the runner-up to our Test Winner because the slim, tapered shaft makes it super easy and comfortable to insert, which is perfect if you’re just starting out. While the narrower base might not give you that full feeling when using it vaginally, it’s great for targeted G-spot stimulation with its tip.

Having tried a Tantus dildo myself (the Tantus Cush), I know that they always deliver on high-quality silicone and generally feel very comfortable to use. The Charmer is no exception—it feels soft, body-safe, and just really nice to use.

Our tester, Isabelle, actually preferred using is an anal dildo because “the ridges have the slight feel of anal beads, as the shaft is inserted but not as intense, and they add some subtle stimulation while the toy is inside as well.” I think these ridges make the Charmer stand out compared to other beginner-friendly dildos. This is a beginner-friendly dildo that offers a little extra stimulation during thrusting but doesn’t have an overwhelming texture.

I would have loved if the base featured a suction cup. In my book, dildos should always have a suction cup base! It just makes solo play that much more fun. Luckily, you can still use this dildo in a strap-on harness and for safe anal play.

Why I Chose It

The Lovehoney Slimline G-Spot Sensual Glass Dildo is my budget-friendly pick for this round-up review. Out of all the best beginner-friendly dildos out there, I simply couldn’t resist including a slim glass dildo to the mix. As an avid dildo user, I wholeheartedly recommend trying out a glass dildo – yes, even as a beginner! For those who are completely new to penetration, it may be a lot more intimidating than a flexible silicone dildo. But if you, like me, absolutely love manual g-spot or a-spot stimulation, a glass dildo like this will change your life.

First of all, glass is just an amazing material for insertable sex toys. It’s non-porous, easy to clean, and can be fully sterilized. It can be used with all kinds of lube, so if you want to use it for anal penetration you can still use a nice, thick silicone lube. It’s super temperature responsive and ideal for playing around with hot and cold sensations. Last but not least, the firmness is perfect for some intense internal massage. I personally love all the benefits that glass offers. It may not be as flexible and “lifelike” as silicone, but the pros outweigh the cons for me!

The double-ended design also let’s you experience different penetration sensations in one toy! Even though you won’t be able to use it in a harness, it offers more versatility for solo play. The curved tip is designed for optimal g-spot, a-spot, and even prostate massage.

In terms of price, Ashley, who tested this dildo, found that this dildo was a total steal since you get a pretty versatile dildo with a nice storage bag included! Most of the glass dildos that I have don’t actually come with storage bags (which does make it difficult to keep them safe from shattering, in my opinion) so that’s a big plus for such a low price.

Why I Chose It

I chose to include the Biird Cecii as my Expert Pick because I personally love most Biird products. They look and feel super elegant and luxurious but are surprisingly affordable! I am partial to glass dildos and I think this one is a perfect example of a glass dildo for beginners.

The slim diameter paired with a tapered tip and a gradually increasing girth makes insertion super easy and comfortable. The beaded end works beautifully as a handle so it’s also pretty easy to hold on to (even when there’s lube involved!).

Our tester, Isabelle, absolutely loved the design of the Biird Cecii. Still, it was just “mesmerizingly beautiful”, it also feels fantastic to use:

“Internally, it wasn’t the most filling or highly stimulating but it still felt really great. I also loved how the smooth glass felt externally on my clitoris and labia. Compared to other dildos, this one felt more sensual!”

The zip-up storage case is also next level and really helps keep your glass dildo safe since it’s so sturdy and has an elastic to keep it securely in there. This makes it a great travel-friendly option as well.

I chose to include the Blush Neo Elite 7.5″ Dual Density Dildo in this review because it’s one of the overall best realistic dildos for beginners out there. Now, in terms of the design, I’ve definitely seen more realistically detailed dildos (like the Vixen Johnny). Although, for the low price it’s available at, I think the details are still well made. The veins and the head also add some nice texture to the experience. This obviously isn’t ideal for those who prefer a completely smooth shaft.

Now, there are a lot of realistic dildos for beginners out there, but I picked out this one because it’s a dual density dildo. The solid core with the squishy exterior adds a different layer of realism that regular silicone dildo can’t deliver. After having tried a few dual density dildos myself, I’m never going back. They just feel a lot more lifelike! However, our tester, Alice, did have one note on this:

“As a small point of personal preference, I did occasionally feel as though the dual density feature of this dildo, which feels so nice on the skin and is a fantastic quality, left me with the sensation that the penis I had inside of me was a bit flaccid. I usually prefer a sturdier dildo, but that didn’t deter my enjoyment of the Blush Neo Elite 7.5″ Dual Density Dildo.”

I imagine that this sensation comes from the fact that this is a slimmer dildo. Either way, it’s something to keep in mind if you know that a firmer sensation is what you need. Still, this one offers a lot of versatility.

“I used the Blush Neo Elite 7.5″ Dual Density Dildo in a number of ways, and each of them worked wonderfully. This is a high-performance dildo with many useful applications, and I highly recommend not only this product, but creatively exploring what this product can do for you!”.

Why I Chose It

This unique toy deserves a spot on any ‘best dildos for beginners’ list. I love all that the Fun Factory Limba Flex M has to offer. While it definitely is on the pricier side when it comes to beginner-dildos, I really think it’s worth splurging on!

An adjustable shaft is actually extremely rare in dildos. It’s a more common feature in rabbit vibrators. So, I’m really stoked how customizable this beginner dildo is. Our tester, Mike, tested out the Limba Flex M with his wife. According to them, once posed in the right position, it held its shape pretty well during use.

“What I appreciate most is how modular this toy is. Depending on what my partner is in the mood for, we can easily bend and shape it to accommodate her desires. This adaptability is a significant advantage, as it allows us to explore various angles and positions to find what suits her best.”

The modest girth and tapered tip also make this a great fit for anyone just looking to dip their toes into the world of flexible beginner dildos. The taper is definitely a pro for complete beginners, those who generally struggle with insertable toys, or for more comfortable anal play. However, if you enjoy deep g-spot massage like me, I’d opt for something with a more bulbous tip.
