Any penetration can cause tearing if there’s too much friction

7 Best Dildos for Beginners Actually Tested

Not interested in the exaggerated visual styling of a suction dildo? Our primary concern was the long hose that made pushing thick cum lube through it more of a task than an experience. Unfortunately, the bulb slipped out of the base several times whenever I changed positions mid-thrust or tugged too hard.

All six insertable inches of this Ann Summers number are entirely see-through — so any exhibitionists out there, this one is for you. With so many dildos on the market, deciding on your new bedroom buddy can be a tough call — especially considering sites like Lovehoney alone have nearly 300 varieties to choose from. There’s also the Unashamed Slim Thruster, the slender dildo with power and dynamism that delivers 850 thrusts per minute. Finally, we have the Thrusting Rabbit, with its combination of sparkly good looks plus G-spot and clit stimulation.

This is the type to go for if you’re looking for an ultra-smooth or non-realistic texture (ribbed, beaded, etc). 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!). If you are looking for your very first insertable toy inflatable didlo, and don’t have much experience with penetrative sex or masturbation, you’ll definitely want to start out small. 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.

It’s safe, mid-sized, and is just as good as the real thing, if not better. “If it’s your first time using a dildo, you don’t want to worry that you won’t be naturally lubricated to play safely. Any penetration can cause tearing if there’s too much friction,” says Vitale. Toy-safe lubes, pleasure oils , and enhancement creams can elevate your dildo game tenfold.

When I first saw these realistic dildos from Oxy Shop, I thought, “Okay, this looks intense.” And I was not wrong. With four sizes to choose from, I debated between playing it safe or going big. Let’s just say—whichever size you pick, you’re in for a ride.
