A dildo is a penis-shaped sex toy designed to stimulate your inner erogenous zones, including the G-spot and P-spot. Dildos can be used vaginally, anally and - if they vibrate - can also be used externally, depending on the type of dildo you buy.

What does a dildo look like?
Dildos come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors, but they are usually modeled after the shape and size of an erect penis. They usually have a bulbous head, and some even have lifelike bulbs or veins protruding along the axis, which can enhance pleasure.

Start small
Using a dildo can take some getting used to, especially if you're not dabbling in too much penetration. That's why we recommend starting on the smaller side to make insertion a little easier. Dildos can range in size from as small as 4 inches to as large as 18 inches. That's why it's important to pay attention to the dimensions on the product page before buying a new dildo. If you're still not sure what you'll be using, use your trusty ruler for visualization.

If your dildo is made of glass or metal, feel free to use any lubricant you like, including silicone, water-based, or oil-based. However, if your dildo is made of silicone, make sure you only use water-based lube. For more information, read our beginner's guide to lubricants.
