Why I Chose It

I picked out the Vixen Mustang as the Test Winner in this review because it’s a fantastic all-rounder. Whether you’re looking for a companion on your solo adventures, an anal safe dildo, or the perfect strap-on dildo, the Mustang is definitely a crowd-pleaser.

My favorite thing about this dildo is the dual density construction. These dildos really are the cream of the crop when it comes to having a realistic feel to your dildo fun. Isabelle tested this dildo and it became an absolute favorite for her:

“The Mustang is worth every penny, in my humble opinion. I can see it being my go-to dildo for a long while yet, and I have actually found myself choosing it over my favorite clitoral toys, which is high praise indeed! The stimulation is unlike any other silicone dildo I have come across, and I feel sorry for my other dildos — with the Mustang around, I can’t see them getting a lot of action!”

I actually have a Vixen dildo of my own as well (the Vixen Maverick) and it is truly one of my most prized possessions. I especially appreciate how the Vixskin dildos are made with this unique silicone formula that’s slightly more elasticated than regular silicone. It’s super squishy which feels very comfortable and surprisingly lifelike.

The main issue with the Mustang is, however, its lack of a real suction cup base. It won’t stick to the shower wall or other smooth surfaces for hands-free riding in the same way a suction cup dildo does.

It is also a very expensive dildo! Although, when it comes to Vixen Vixskin dildos, I can honestly only recommend saving up for one. It’s super durable and will last a lifetime with the proper care. It’s worth the investment if you ask me!

Why I Chose It

This is one of the best dildos out there that won’t break the bank but still doesn’t compromise with quality or sensation. Ashley, who tested the Lovehoney Curved 7″ Silicone Suction Cup Dildo for us, gave it a glowing recommendation and outstanding ratings on both design, ease of use, and quality!

“The quality of the Lovehoney Curved 7″ Silicone Suction Cup Dildo is very good! The silicone doesn’t feel cheap, and it’s very smooth and soft. It’s sturdy, but still flexible as it needs to be for play. The suction cup is also great quality. It sticks very well, and it has a small insert in the bottom, perfect for a small bullet vibrator!”

What makes it stand out for me is the small space to put a vibrator. A good silicone suction cup dildo is already pretty versatile as is. Add some optional vibrations to that mix, and you’ve got access to a lot of different sensations and different ways to enjoy your dildo.

Variety and versatility is a huge plus especially when you consider to low price! Taking into account that the curved shaft helps hit all the right spots, I can assure you that you’re getting plenty of bang for your buck with this dildo.

Of course, it’s a bit too flexible for super intense g-spot or prostate massage. I can imagine that it won’t be quite satisfying enough for more seasoned users. That said, I believe beginners and intermediate users will still find it to be a great dildo at a great price.

A Closer Look
  • Slim silicone dildo with a tapered tip for easy insertion
  • Subtle ridges add stimulation without being too overwhelming
  • Great for g-spot or p-spot pleasure.

Specifications

Pros

  • High-quality silicone
  • Non-representational shape and color
  • Firm but flexible shaft
  • Harness compatible

Cons

  • No suction cup base
  • No storage bag

Why I Chose It

The Tantus Charmer is my top pick for a beginner-friendly dildo because of it’s high quality, unique shape, and slim diameter.

At its widest point this dildo is only 1.1 inches in diameter. It’s even smaller near the base of the toy. This shape makes deep penetration seem less intense. There’s more pressure on the g-spot or prostate while the slimmer part of the shaft feels less intense around the opening of the vagina or anus.

This makes it super accessible even for complete beginners. Not only those who haven’t used a dildo before but also for those who haven’t experienced penetration at all. The tapered tip also makes insertion a tad bit easier.

Isabelle also tested the Tantus Charmer and was generally impressed by it. Although, since she’s a lot more experienced with larger dildos, she preferred using it as an anal toy:

“I really like the Tantus Charmer as an anal dildo, and think it’s well worth the investment. If you are looking for a dildo to use vaginally, bear in mind that, unlike many dildos, the shaft get’s narrower towards the base, so you might not get that full feeling with the whole dildo inserted. You can use the tip for some good g-spot stimulation though.”

Since it can be easily sterilized, it’s an ideal dildo to use both anally and vaginally. It’s great for using/sharing with your partner, or for exploring pegging or general strap-on play.

Overall, this is a great tool for beginners to dip their toes into the world of penetrative pleasure. For the price, I just wish it had a suction cup base!

Why I Chose It

Here’s Johnny! Don’t worry, he’s just here to make you forget that you’re actually using a dildo and not a real penis. The Vixen Vixskin Johnny is my top pick for the most realistic dildo because it gets top scores both in terms of design and performance. Kasia had the pleasure of testing Johnny. Here’s what she had to say about it:

“But this dildo is not just the looks, it does feel very similar to an erect penis. The dual-density feature is a life-changer for me, it provides a much better experience than any other silicone toy I’ve tried. Sure, it’s a bit pricey, but if you want to experience a premium-quality dildo with ultra realistic features, Johnny is the one!”

Here we go again with the dual density and the extra elasticated Vixskin silicone formula. The solid core and the squishy outer layer all come together to create an unbelievably realistic feeling dildo.

Of course, he’s got the looks to go with the name too. The details are super realistic and add some nice lifelike texture to the experience. Kasia also mentions that the squishy balls provide a comfortable bumper pad and provide some good grip as well. We love a multifunctional testicular feature!

The girth is on the larger side but the flexibility makes it a lot easier to take for both intermediate and experienced users.

As with most Vixen dildos, it’s definitely an investment. That said, it’s an investment I can wholeheartedly stand behind. With proper care and maintenance, you’ve got an amazing dildo for life. It’s works for anal play and fits in strap-on harness as well. My only point of critique is the lack of a suction cup on the base.

Why I Chose It

I’ve included the njoy Pure Wand because it is an undeniable classic in the world of dildos. Yes, it has a spot in the dildo Hall of Fame. It has that spot for a reason. As Isabelle, who tested it out, described it, the njoy Pure Wand can help you change how you view your g-spot! No longer just a side dish, the Pure Wand allows your g-spot (or prostate) to become the real star of the show.

The curved design with the double-ended design looks simple but actually offers so much variation and sensation. The shape makes it incredibly easy to repeatedly stimulate your g-spot and the weighted steel intensifies the sensation. I’ve tried a similar metal dildo, the Le Wand Hoop, and I can only confirm that the feeling takes penetration to a whole new level.

If you’re looking for a simple, sleek, and luxurious sex toy that doesn’t look or feel like your average dildo, but love deep internal massage, this is the one for you.

It is, however, very expensive. That said, if you’re able and willing to make a real investment in your pleasure and sexual exploration, then you can’t go wrong with it. Similarly to the Vixen dildos, this will definitely be a dildo that lasts a lifetime (if not more). Metal dildos are also just a dream to handle. They’re compatible with all kinds of lubes, ideal for temperature play, non-porous, and hypoallergenic.

Why I Chose It

I could not complete a round-up review of the best dildos out there without including a curved, glass dildo. On my personal dildo journey, this was genuinely life changing. I’m not trying to be dramatic. I’m trying to tell you that glass dildos are in a league of their own. They share a lot of benefits with metal dildos. They’re non-porous, hypoallergenic, compatible with all lubes, easy to clean and sterilize, and provide really firm stimulation. The key difference? They weigh less than metal dildos and therefore a bit more accessible to beginners.

What made the Lovehoney Sensual Glass Double-Ended G-Spot Dildo stand out for me was the simple, elegant, and ergonomic design. I always appreciate when glass dildos are double-ended. It adds more versatility, variety, and I personally think it makes them look so distinguished. The two ends have slightly different shapes and sizes. This means that you have options to choose from depending on your mood, experience level, or whether you’re using it vaginally or anally.

Unless you drastically dislike firm penetration, I think this dildo would be great for most beginners as well. The slim shaft is super comfortable when inserted, and it’s completely smooth and free of any texture. Of course, my favorite thing about this glass dildo is how the bulbous tips and the curved shape assist in delivering some impressive g-spot stimulation.

Our tester did mention that it got very slippery with lube (which is often the case with smooth glass and metal dildos). Keep this in mind if you struggle with limited hand or finger strength or limited dexterity. That said, it’s a great dildo for couples to use together for some *assistance*.

For such a low price, you’re really getting a lot of bang for your buck. Even though it isn’t as durable as metal or silicone, it’s still extremely long-lasting with the proper care. Once again, you’ll have a versatile, affordable, and downright stunning dildo for life!

  • Strong suction cup makes it easy to use for solo fun
  • Good for strap-on play

Cons

  • Sanded silicone surface easily attracts dust and lint
  • Requires lots of lube

Why I Chose It

There are a few different reasons I wanted to include The Boss in this review. First of all, if you love riding your dildos hands-free and want something with a suction cup that won’t quit, The Boss will see you now. I had the pleasure of testing this dildo myself, and I cannot count the amount of times I’ve almost pulled a whole dresser or chair with me as I went to pick up the dildo stuck to a surface!

Some would say that the firmness or lack of flexibility in this dildo is a con. For me, it was actually a huge pro. I usually opt for metal or glass dildos for firm internal massage, but in terms of silicone dildos, this is the best one I’ve used for g-spot stimulation. Don’t sleep on the firmness!

Like other Fun Factory toys, the silicone that the Boss dildo is made from is not as silky smooth as you might expect. It has a grippy roughness that some may find strange, but it is still super high-quality silicone. I found that I just need to keep some extra lube on hand to avoid any friction. That said, I am a little annoyed that it so easily picks up dust or lint from it’s surroundings. I could definitely live without that.

If You’re Looking For…

  • The most versatile dildo – The Fun Factory The Boss can be used in so many different ways and offers a lot of bang for your buck. The powerful suction cup let’s you ride it anywhere, the flared base let’s you use it in a strap-on harness, it’s anal safe and can be fully sterilized, the pronounced head is good for g-spot, a-spot, or prostate stimulation, it’s accessible to beginners but still satisfying for experienced users because of the firmness. Believe me, it’s pretty darn versatile!
  • The best dildo for lifelike sensations – In terms of both sensation and design the Vixen Vixskin Johnny is one of the most realistic feeling dildo out there. Dual density dildo generally feel more lifelike because of the solid core and the soft outer layer.
  • The best dildo for anal play and pegging – The Lovehoney Curved 7″ Silicone Suction Cup Dildo is perfect for who are just starting out with anal penetration. The Tantus Charmer is also a good option that offers a little more texture and variation.
  • The best dildo for g-spot massage – Firm materials are best for this kind of pleasure. I hands down recommend the njoy Pure Wand for this. If you want soemthing less weighted, I  would opt for the Lovehoney Sensual Glass Double-Ended G-Spot Dildo.

Materials to Avoid in Dildos

There are some amazing brands and manufacturers of both single density and dual density dildos that we here at Bedbible love and trust, such as Tantus, Vixen, Lovehoney, and Fun Factory.

But, there are also manufacturers out there making cheaper dildos using materials that aren’t body-safe.

Avoid any of the following materials:

  • PVC
  • TPR/TPE
  • Latex
  • Rubber
  • Jelly
  • Soft plastic
  • “Silicone blends” (typically silicone blended with other dangerous materials).

There materials are all porous. This means that there are microscopic holes in the surface of the toy that can harbor dirt and bacteria over time. It’s very difficult to keep clean between uses and cannot be sterilized. This obviously renders the material unsafe to use internally as it can cause pH-imbalances and nasty infections. If you ever do use a dildo made of porous materials, I strongly recommend putting a condom over it first.

What is the Best Material for a Dildo?

For completely body-safe dildos, always look for non-porous materials like:

  • Silicone
  • Metal
  • Glass

These are much easier to keep clean with a simple wash and can easily be sterilized in boiling water for a few minutes.

Picking The Right Size

It is not an easy task to advise someone on what the right size is for them specifically. We all have different preferences and anatomies to account for.

However, we can provide some general guidelines in terms of what diameter and length to go for depending on your experience level:

Level of ExperienceDiameterLength
No experience of penetration (with a dildo or penis)< 1 inch< 5 inches
Beginner1 – 1.5 inches5 – 6 inches
Intermediate1.5 – 2 inches6 – 8 inches
Advanced2 – 2.5 inches8 – 10 inches
Size Kings and Queens> 2.5 inches> 10 inches

Key Features to Consider When Choosing a Dildo

Dildos come in various shapes, sizes, materials, and sometimes offer different features. Here are a few things you may want to consider before picking out your perfect match.

 Safe Materials

Safe Materials

 Safe Materials

Silicone: Silicone dildos are popular due to their soft, flexible, and non-toxic nature. They’re also very durable and easy to clean.

Glass: Glass dildos are smooth, firm, and temperature-responsive, allowing you to heat or cool them for added sensation.

Metal: Metal dildos are heavier, firm, have a unique shiny finish, and can also be used for temperature play. The weighted build adds extra intensity!

Design

Design

Design

Realistic: Realistic dildos are designed to look and feel like an actual penis, complete with veins and textured skin. In dual density dildos, the “skin” is also smooth, squishy, and elastic for added lifelike feeling.

Non-phallic: Non-phallic dildos are more abstract in design and look nothing like a human penis. They’re often designed take different, non-conventional shapes, colors, and size.

Curved: Curved dildos are designed to easily target those internal erogenous zones better than with a straight dildo. Whether you love g-spot, a-spot, or p-spot stimulation, curved dildos is how you to get thee!

Fantasy: Fantasy dildos are designed to look like mythical creatures, animals, or other objects. The shapes are super whimsical and non-traditional. Perfect for engaging is fantastical role play!

Beaded: Beaded dildos have a series of rounded beads that increase in size, allowing you to gradually stretch and stimulate your body. This adds a lot of variation and texture to your penetration play (both anally and vaginally).

Size

Size

Size

Large and thick: Big dildos are obviously more of a challenge to insert (which is a desirable feature for many), provide a more filling sensation and are ideal for those who crave intense penetration sensations.

Small: Small dildos are great for beginners or those who prefer more shallow penetration. If you suffer from vaginismus or vulvodynia or even if your vaginal tissue is just very sensitive, smaller dildos are a good option.

Slim: Thin dildos are ideal for those who prefer a more slender shape but still may want deep penetration. Again, if you struggle with sensitive vaginal tissue or don’t enjoy the sensation of stretching, thin dildos are a godsend.

Features

G-spot/P-spot massage: Dildos that are specifically designed to stimulate these sensitive areas for maximum pleasure will often feature a curved shaft, a bulbous tip and/or be made of a more firm material.

Vibrating: Vibrating dildos are equipped with motors that provide additional stimulation during penetration.

With a suction cup: Suction cup dildos can be attached to any smooth and flat surface, allowing you to enjoy hands-free pleasure.

Strap-on: Strap-on dildos aren’t really a protected title. Any dildo with a flared base can be used in a strap-on harness with an o-ring attachment point. This way you can your partner can enjoy hands-free thrusting with your favorite dildo.

Different Types of Dildos for Different Pleasures

Welcome to the wonderful world of dildos! These pleasure-packed pals come in all shapes, sizes, and materials, each offering a unique path to pleasure.

Whether you’re a dildo newbie or a seasoned pro, there’s always something new to discover. So, let’s dive into the diverse universe of dildos and explore the many types available for your intimate enjoyment.

The diverse world of dildo types

The diverse world of dildo types

Dildos are as diverse as the people who use them.

From the classic to the creative, there’s a type of dildo for every desire. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most popular types.

Classic Dildos

Classic Dildos

Classic Dildos

The classic dildo is the quintessential sex toy. Often shaped like a penis, these types of dildos are designed for straightforward, satisfying penetration. They come in a variety of sizes and materials offering a range of sensations. Some have a semi-realistic design, some come in cool colors and shapes! If you’re new to the world of dildos, a classic model is a great place to start. I would recommend going for a good quality silicone dildo that is non-porous, 100% body safe and waterproof.

Realistic Dildos

Realistic Dildos

Realistic Dildos

For those who crave a lifelike experience, realistic dildos are the way to go. These types of dildos are designed to look and feel like the real thing, complete with veins, ridges, and often a pronounced head. Some of them are even dildos with balls for an extra touch of realism!

G-Spot Dildos

G-Spot Dildos

G-Spot Dildos

These dildos are specially shaped to target the g-spot, that elusive area of pleasure located on the front wall of the vagina. With their curved or angled tips, g-spot dildos make it easier to reach this sensitive spot and explore its orgasmic potential.

They come in a variety of materials, but firm materials like glass, metal, ABS plastic or firm silicone are often preferred for g-spot play. The firmness allows for more precise pressure and stimulation, which many people find necessary for achieving g-spot orgasms.

Double Dildos

Double Dildos

Double Dildos

Double the pleasure with a double dildo! These types of dildos are designed for simultaneous penetration, making them perfect for couples play or solo sessions that require a little extra.

Double penetration dildos also allows you to enjoy the pleasure of total fulfillment for solo play or strap-on play. Whether you’re exploring double penetration or sharing the fun with a partner, these dildos offer twice the excitement.

Anal Dildos

Anal Dildos

Anal Dildos

Anal dildos are designed specifically for backdoor bliss. They typically have a flared base for safety (to prevent the toy from getting lost) and are often slimmer than regular dildos. Whether you’re new to anal play or an experienced enthusiast, there’s an anal dildo out there for you.

Cuved anal dildos are also great dildos for men since they are angled to massage the prostate!

Vibrating Dildos

Vibrating Dildos

Vibrating Dildos

Why settle for just penetration when you can have penetration with vibration? Vibrating dildos combine the fullness of a dildo with the buzz of a vibrator, leading to a whole new level of pleasure. With various speeds and patterns to explore, these types of dildos are sure to shake up your playtime.

Vibrating dildos often come with a built-in motor that powers the vibrations. Some models feature multiple motors for added intensity or targeted stimulation. The vibrations can be controlled via a remote or a control panel on the dildo itself, allowing you to adjust the intensity and pattern of the vibrations to suit your mood.

You can get vibrating dildos with a suction cup base or look into g-spot vibrators with a thicker (and more realistic) shaft for some enhanced angles.

Strap-On Dildos

Strap-On Dildos

Strap-On Dildos

Strap-on dildos are designed to be worn, usually with a strap-on harness, for partner play. They’re great for couples of all orientations and can be used for vaginal, anal, or oral sex. With a strap-on dildo, you can switch up roles and explore new dynamics in the bedroom.

Any type of dildo with a flared base is compatible to use with an o-ring strap-on harness, like these two below. So when you’re looking for a strap-on dildo, I would say the most important purchase is the harness itself. They come in many different styles and sizes!

Try out a realistic strap-on dildo if you’re looking for that lifelike look and feel. Go for a more non-representational, non-phallic dildo if you don’t enjoy that realistic aesthetic. Once you’ve chosen your preferred strap-on harness, you have your pick of dildos that go with it!

Don’t want to bother with a harness? You’re in luck! Strapless strap-on dildos are a thing! These types of dildos are designed to fit snugly inside the wearer during penetration with the dildo, you’re supposedly able to get some strap-on action strap-free! Keep in mind, that this is more difficult than it looks and for extra security, you may want to wear a harness with your strapless strap-on anyway.

Metal Dildos

Metal Dildos

Metal Dildos

For those who crave a firm, weighty sensation, metal dildos are a fantastic choice. Made from materials like stainless steel or aluminum, these types of dildos offer a unique combination of hardness and coolness that many find incredibly pleasurable. Plus, like glass, metal dildos can be heated or cooled for thrilling temperature play. They’re also non-porous and easy to clean and sterilize, making them a hygienic option. They’re also compatible all kinds of lube!

Glass Dildos

Glass Dildos

Glass Dildos

Glass dildos are a thing of beauty. Not only do they look stunning, but they also offer a unique sensation similar to that of metal. Glass is firm, smooth, and can be heated or cooled for temperature play. Plus, they’re non-porous, making them easy to clean and safe to use.

One major difference between glass and metal is that metal is significantly sturdier than glass, should you accidentally drop it on the floor (they can get slippery with lube!). However, when intact, both of these materials provide firm, weighted, and temperature responsive stimulation. Although, with clear glass you get the bonus of some transparent visual stimulation!

Dual Density Dildos

Dual Density Dildos

Dual Density Dildos

Dual density dildos are all about perceived realism. These types of dildos are designed with two layers of material – a firm inner core and a softer outer layer – to mimic the feel of an real life erect penis. The result is a dildo that’s soft to the touch yet firm enough for satisfying penetration. If you’re looking for a dildo that offers a lifelike experience, a dual density model might be just what you need!

Squirting Dildos

Squirting Dildos

Squirting Dildos

Looking for a dildo that delivers a little extra? Squirting dildos might be just the ticket. These dildos are designed with an internal reservoir that can be filled with a liquid of your choice (often a ‘cum-like’ substance is used for added realism). With a squeeze of a bulb or a press of a button, these dildos can ‘ejaculate’, adding an exciting dimension to your play.

Monster Dildos

Monster Dildos

Monster Dildos

For those who like to push the boundaries of pleasure, monster dildos offer an exciting challenge. These dildos are larger than average – both in length and girth – and often feature exaggerated, fantastical shapes. Ever wanted a roll in the hay with tentacle beasts or supernatural canine or equestrian creatures? When it comes to monster dildos, your own imagination is the limit!

Whether they’re modeled after mythical beasts or simply supersized versions of the real thing, monster dildos are sure to make a big impact. Remember, if you’re playing with a monster dildo, take it slow, use plenty of lube, and listen to your body.

How to Know if a Dildo Is Worth the Price?

If you’re looking to buy a dildo, you want to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth. Here are some tips to help you figure out if a dildo that spiked your interest is worth it!

Safety Features

Safety Features

High-quality dildos should have all safety features in check. Make sure that the dildo is made of a non-porous material (silicone, glass, or metal). You also want to make sure that it’s phthalate-free and latex-free. If you’re planning on using it for anal one day, be sure it has enough of a flared base.

Check the brand reputation first. Well-known sex toy brands may charge more for their products but are more likely to make dildo of higher quality and provide a more satisfying experience. Some of the favorite brands are Vixen, Fun Factory, Uberrime, Creature Cocks, and Tantus.
