By Lydia Wang and Honey WyattPublished: 28 May 2025 Jump to Products 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.
Don’t be put off by the idea of a ‘traditional’ realistic-looking, veiny dildo, though. ‘Today, there’s an incredible variety to suit everybody and their preferences,’ Bere says. So all you have to do is figure out yours! Easy, right? ‘When exploring dildos — or any sex toy — it’s essential to think about the types of sensations you enjoy during sex or self-pleasure,’ Bere says.
‘Start by asking yourself: do you enjoy depth, girth, or both? A thicker dildo can create a delicious sense of fullness and stretch that many people find intensely pleasurable. On the other hand, if the idea of feeling “filled” seems intimidating or unappealing, opt for something slimmer or shorter.’
How you’ll be using the dildo will also inform the type you go for — ideally you should be using a different dildo for anal and vaginal penetration, unless you sanitise it extremely thoroughly every time (be realistic with yourself!). ‘Do you prefer vaginal or anal play?’ Bere recommends asking yourself.
‘What positions do you enjoy? Will you be using it solo or with a partner? Your preferences and play style will help determine the right shape, size, and material for you,’ says Bere. If you’re going to be using your dildo with a strap on, you’ll also need to check the diameter of your dildo to ensure it fits the O-ring on your harness — unless you’re going for the strapless vibe, that is.
