Dildos

How does a dildo work?

A dildo (from the Latin dilatatorium) is a non-motorized penetration device. Its shape mimics penile anatomy (realistic dildo with testicles) or diverges from it for targeted stimulation (curved dildo for the G-spot, tapered anal dildo). Modern models use single-density or dual-density medical-grade silicone—a firm core surrounded by a soft outer layer that better mimics the feel of flesh.

The dildo is one of the oldest known erotic objects: a polished siltstone dildo dating back 28,000 years was found in the Hohle Fels cave in Germany. Its simplicity explains its popularity: no batteries, no buttons, just a shape and a material. For comfortable penetration, use it with a water-based lubricant; to add stimulation, check out our vibrators collection.

Different types of dildos

• Realistic dildos: anatomical reproduction with glans, veins, and testicles, made of dual-density silicone or TPR.
• Suction-cup dildos: strong suction-cup base for mounting on walls or floors, hands-free and harness-compatible.
• G-spot curved dildos: 30-45° curve to target the G-spot or P-spot (prostate).
• Fantasy and XXL dildos: non-anatomical shapes (tentacles, fantasy creatures), sizes from 25 to 40 cm for advanced play.

How to choose the right dildo

• Based on your experience: 12-15 cm length, 30 mm diameter, and soft silicone to start.
• Based on diameter: 25-30 mm (slim), 35-45 mm (fullness), 50+ mm (advanced practice).
• Based on stimulation: straight for classic penetration, curved for the G-spot, textured for extra stimulation.
• Based on material: silicone (safety, durability), borosilicate glass (thermal properties), metal (weight and pressure).
• Based on usage: suction cup for hands-free play, flared base for anal use, T-base for harnesses.
