6 Best Small Dildos

Kasia Halinowska
by Kasia HalinowskaUpdated:

As someone who has a tried all kinds of dildos in my time as a professional sex toy reviewer, I think small dildos often go unappreciated. Small dildos allow you to enjoy the pleasures of penetration without requiring much stretching or depth. It’s an amazing choice for complete beginners or those who suffer from vaginismus, vulvodynia, or thinning of the vaginal tissue. In this review, I’ve compiled a list of our favorite small dildos that we’ve tested here at Bedbible. Let’s dive in!

Why I Chose It

The Biird Bae was a clear Test Winner for me, as it offers great quality and value for money! This dildo is made from ultra-soft silicone, which provides flexibility and a silky-smooth experience. Plus, it has a strong suction cup base, which offers a lot of versatility in your play and makes it ideal as a strap-on dildo. I also love that it comes with cute accessories! 

Our tester, Felicia, fell in love with this dildo right away: “I own a lot of silicone toys, and to me, the Biird Bae Dildo feels so different; much softer, and more pleasant on entry.” She was also impressed with how much pleasure this simple dildo gave her: “Not only did the length find my g-spot quickly, but the width felt much better than I expected it.”

Personally, I am a big fan of Biird Bae. It’s such a beautiful and well-made small dildo that’s surprisingly cheap compared to other silicone dildos on the market. I can highly recommend it to anyone, beginners and more advanced users alike. It might not be the smallest dildo on this list, but in my professional opinion, its design is still beginner-friendly, even for anal play, as its” length is perfect for hitting those precise spots, and the softness makes anal play a breeze, as well as very enjoyable.”

  • Realistic design with a pronounced head, balls, and raised veins that add texture
  • Suction cup base
  • Comes in many different colors.

  • Realistic details provide a lifelike feel
  • Affordable
  • Body-safe silicone that's easy to clean and sterilize

Cons

  • Suction cup is a bit weak for shower play
  • Quite firm (It's rated 4 out of 4 on firmness)

Why I Chose It

I chose the Colours Pleasure Dildo as the best affordable option because it’s a simple, well-made dildo made of body-safe silicone. It’s a great choice for those who want something with a realistic look and a lifelike texture but don’t want to break the bank.

Our tester, Mariah, really liked using the Colours Pleasure Dildo, highlighting that the silicone itself was “velvety to the touch” . However, she pointed out that this dildo is quite firm, which made her feel uncomfortable in some positions. The added texture from the realistic details may render this dildo less suitable for those who struggle with painful penetration. Still, Mariah was really impressed with the realism, pointing out that “In hand, it felt like a firm erection.” 

In her verdict, Mariah said that she wasn’t disappointed, but also wasn’t blown away by this dildo, which I totally understand. Given the low price of this toy, you can’t expect an experience comparable to ultra-soft silicone or dual density dildos. But I still think it’s a good, and reliable classic dildo for those looking to explore G-spot or P-spot stimulation, hands-free play, or pegging. I honestly think it’s a great starter toy!

  • Simple design with a slightly curved tip and a rounded, flared base
  • Shaft is completely smooth and free of texture
  • Can be used with a strap-on harness.

Specifications

Pros

  • Completely frictionless penetration
  • Slightly curved to align with the vaginal canal
  • Ideal size for beginners and for anal play
  • Compatible with a strap-on harness

Cons

  • Not super tapered
  • No suction cup base
  • Does not look or feel very realistic

Why I Chose It

I personally tested the Tantus Silk Medium myself, and I’m overall pretty charmed by its cute color and straightforward design. The smooth texture and a flexible yet firm structure made it incredibly easy to use, and it provided me with a comfortable and enjoyable experience. While I didn’t find the medium size overly stimulating for vaginal play, I think it’s perfect for foreplay, anal play, and as a gentle warm-up toy. Its non-realistic design and playful color also add a light-hearted feel to the experience.

In my professional opinion, I think the Tantus Silk Medium is a fantastic starting point for beginners or for those with vaginal sensitivity who try to avoid texture and friction. My only note is that it lacks a suction cup base, which really does limit the ways you can use this toy for hands-free solo play.

Overall, I do appreciate the simplicity and high quality. Although it may not satisfy those in search of intense stimulation or realistic designs, its charm lies in its simplicity and the gentle, smooth experience it offers.

A Closer Look
  • Ultra-realistic design with a short, but quite thick shaft
  • Dual density feature provides a firm core and a squishy outer layer for a super life-like experience
  • Suction cup base
  • Can be used with a harness.

Specifications

Pros

  • Premium-quality dildo
  • Dual density design feels incredibly lifelike
  • Perfect size for everyday use
  • Unlike most Vixen dildos, it has a suction cup base

Cons

  • A little too short to use comfortably as a hands-free dildo
  • Suction cup could be stronger
  • Expensive

Why I Chose It

I chose this dildo specifically for those looking for the most life-like sensations, and who appreciate top-quality sex toys. Vixen Creations make the best realistic dildos, as their dual-density feature feels very similar to a real erection. Our tester and sex expert, Rachel, was just as impressed as I am: “The Vixskin Tex is a real winner for me! It’s a blast to use both alone and with a partner, and the squishy, realistic-feeling shaft is a pleasure to play with.” 

As expected, Rachel enjoyed the realism of the Vixen Tex: “The firm core and squishy outer layer give it a nice flexibility and make it feel more realistic than your average dildo, and the pronounced glans textures are extra stimulating.” The only issue she found was that the suction cup wasn’t as strong as other dildos on this list, which might be limiting to those looking for hands-free play. 

While I was concerned about the measurements at first (very short but also quite thick), Rachel pointed out that its dimensions actually “make it a dream to use both for masturbation and with a partner, without needing too much warm-up”, and that “it’s wonderfully filling without being too much of a stretch!.”

I think every dildo lover should own a high quality dual-density dildo. Yes, they are definitely expensive, but the feeling is unlike anything else, and these Vixen dildos are meant to last a lifetime with the proper care.

  • Silicone dildo with a metal “wire” core that makes the shaft poseable
  • Short and slim design with a curved and pronounced tip
  • Flat, asymmetrical suction cup base
  • Can be used in a harness.

Specifications

Pros

  • Adjustability allows for a lot of versatility
  • Tapered tip makes it great for anal play
  • The suction cup is incredibly strong
  • Great quality

Cons

  • May be too short for complete hands-free fun
  • The surface easily attracts dust and lint

Why I Chose It

I chose to include the Fun Factory Limba Flex S because it’s one of the smallest dildos that we’ve tested here at Bedbible. It also has this unique posing ability that allows you to shape the dildo however you prefer! I can see it as a great small dildo for those who want to take things slow and ensure maximum comfort, or for more advanced users who want to experiment with more customization. 

Its quality, design, and overall feel have been highly rated by our tester Felicia, especially its “silky and almost creamy to the touch” silicone. But it’s the ‘Flex’ feature that became her favorite thing about this toy: “Its shape holding abilities withstand the movement and thrust, and by that, I mean it holds its shape very well even during play time.” 

The only drawbacks you might experience with the Limba Flex S would be the pointed tip, which might feel sharp, and uncomfortable in certain positions, or during rougher play. FYI, the Limba Flex also comes in a medium size, so if you like the sound of bendable dildos, but want a size upgrade, check out the Fun Factory Limba Flex M.

Why I Chose It

While I know a glass dildo may not be the obvious choice for beginners or those who suffer from painful penetration, glass dildos like this are actually still a great option. That’s why I wanted to include the Lovehoney Slimline G-Spot Sensual Glass Dildo as my Expert Pick. The firm glass can effectively massage the vaginal walls and help relieve any pain during penetration. The smoothness is also ideal for beginners who are looking for easy penetration.

I personally love glass dildos because you don’t need a lot of girth or length to put a satisfying amount of pressure on your g-spot. You get to enjoy the wonders of intense internal massage without pushing yourself to your limit.

“The thing I loved most about the Lovehoney Slimline G-Spot Sensual Glass Dildo is the large bulbous head”. For our tester, Ashley, this slim yet curved and bulbous design is what makes this dildo perfect for g-spot massage.

In terms of ease of use, “the thinner center stem makes it easy to hold” and provides a comfortable diameter for most beginners to enjoy without any issues. It’s also very easy to get creative with temperature play since “the glass holds the cold very well”. The moral of the story is not to shy away from glass dildos, they can be absolutely magical at any experience level!

The Two Types of Small Dildo 

When you’re talking about small dildos, there are two different ways a dildo can be “small”.

The first is probably what you’re thinking of: it’s short!

Short dildos are great for beginners since they aren’t visually intimidating like larger dildos.

However, they’re not the only type of small dildo. Thin dildos are the second option!

These dildos are also beginner-friendly since their thin width makes them easier to insert, which is especially important if the dildo will be used anally.

You can find dildos that are thin but long, short but wide, or thin and short: the options are nearly endless when it comes to dildo selection!

How Small Should You Go?

When it comes to picking a small dildo, it’s all about matching the size and function to your personal needs.

What will the small dildo be used for? Will the dildo be shared with a partner? Will the toy be used for anal or vaginal use?

Ask yourself all these questions before settling on a particular size that you’d like.

For example, an average-sized dildo is not the same as an average-sized anal dildo: anal dildos need to be slimmer for beginners. So, if you began searching for an “average-sized” dildo for beginner pegging play, you would end up with a toy unsuitable for your needs.

Common Dildo Sizes (Length)

Most dildos have around 4-6 inches of insertable length. When we consider that the average penis size is around 5.1-5.5 inches when erect, this makes dildos pretty representative of the global average, with obvious and deliberate exceptions. Whilst extreme toys do exist and have their uses, most dildos will hover around the average when it comes to length.

Common Dildo Diameter (Girth)

Most dildos have a diameter of around 1.2-1.5 inches, whereas the diameter of the average penis is around 1.4 inches. We recommend staying on the lower end of the average when it comes to small dildos.

When is Small too Small?

When it comes to picking a small dildo, is there such a thing as too small? If you’re wanting to get the most out of your sex toy, you should try to look for a toy with at least 3 insertable inches. If you’re looking for a small dildo because you’re suffering from vulvodynia or other kinds of pain relating to the vagina, you can always try vaginal dilators to help make penetration easier. These toys function like mini love eggs: once placed inside, they help to relax the vaginal walls and allow the vagina to dilate correctly. I’ve used these types of accessories myself and found them to be useful in dealing with vaginal tightness and discomfort during penetration.

When is a Small Dildo Too Big?

If you’re looking for a small dildo for vaginal penetration, we’d recommend staying around the 4-5 insertable inches mark and around 1-1.3 inches in diameter, give or take a little on each side. These dimensions will give you enough sensation while remaining comfortable to use. For anal penetration, absolute beginners might want to start with butt plugs before moving on to dildos. If you’re set on an anal dildo, we’d recommend 3.5 inches to 4 inches in insertable length, and 0.8-1 inch in diameter.

How to Pick Your First Small Dildo

To make the experience as smooth as possible, try to follow these steps when picking a small dildo:

Check the materials

Check the materials

When picking your first small dildo, pay attention to the materials. Non-porous materials such as silicone are your best bet: they’re softer, safer and easy to clean and sterilize.

Check the cleaning instructions

You want to keep things simple when it comes to cleaning your small dildo. Make sure to check the cleaning instructions to ensure that the cleaning process is easy, especially if you plan on sharing your toys with a partner.

Look out for the the dimensions

Make sure to look at both the girth and length to ensure that your toy is suitable for your needs and level of experience. Pay particular attention to the width of the tip if you’re a beginner.

Good vibes?

Good vibes?

Vibration functions make all the difference when it comes to dildos – especially small dildos. Small vibrating dildos are more suitable if you’re planning on buying a dildo for solo masturbation purposes.

"Whose turn is it?"

"Whose turn is it?"

If you’re planning on using your small dildo with a partner, make sure to adapt your choices to their needs as well as yours. Allergies, experience level and size preference are all important factors to take into consideration.

Check the texture

Check the texture

Check the texture

Dildos come in all different shapes, sizes and textures! Make sure to check that the texture is suited to your needs. Smoother textures make for easier and more comfortable penetration, while more ridged textures offer enhanced physical sensations. Adapt your choices to your own personal needs.

Plus, as a person with a marketing background, you can be sure I will not fall for any false advertising and be brutally honest with my reviews!
