Unbound Pogo
Two sex experts we spoke to praised the Pogo suction-cup dildo as a “nonintimidating choice for people who are newer to sex toys,” as Heather Shannon, LCPC, an AASECT-certified sex therapist puts it. “It’s a medium-size silicone suction dildo that’s large enough for vaginal penetration and small enough for anal,” she says. The Pogo is harness-compatible and has a shape that’s curved enough to hit the G- and P-spots. Its slim, nonrealistic size and colors make it especially accessible for dildo newbies who are turned off by the more lifelike models, sex coach Katherin Winnick previously told Glamour.
Material: Body-safe silicone | Length: 6.5 inches | Insertable length: 6 inches | Circumference: 4 inches | Width: 1.5 inches at the tip | Waterproof: Yes | Suction: Mild | Anal-safe: Yes | Harness-compatible: Yes | How to clean: Boil to sanitize or run through the dishwasher
- Why we love it: Short and slim enough for beginners to backdoor-play; affordable; discreet; slightly curved and flexible; harness-compatible; dishwasher-safe
- What’s worth considering: Cannot be used with oil- or silicone-based lubes; does not have strong suction and is best used with a harness

Lovehoney Lifelike Lover Classic Dildo
This realistic toy is probably exactly what you picture when you hear the word dildo. It’s intensely lifelike (down to the skin tone options), with a pronounced ridge on its tip for G-spot and P-spot stimulation. It has a suction-cup base that allows it to stick to mirrors, headboards, and shower walls for hands-free masturbation. It’s five inches in insertable length (the average length for most dildos) and harness-compatible, should you and your partner want to try strapping or pegging. And best of all, it’s only $30.
Material: ABS plastic | Length: 6 inches | Insertable length: 5 inches | Circumference: 5 inches | Waterproof: Yes | Suction: Strong | Anal-safe: Yes | Harness-compatible: Yes | How to clean: Wash with warm water and soap or a sex-toy cleaner

- What’s worth considering: It’s highly realistic, which can be a turn-off to some; never use with an oil-based lube

Lelo Hugo
This prostate massager is a bit like a dildo mixed with a G-spot vibrator. The long, girthy arm of its L-shape curves inside the anus to hit the prostate (also known as the P-spot), a ping-pong-ball-size gland full of nerve endings that can lead to intense orgasms when stimulated. Meanwhile, the shorter arm of the toy hugs and vibrates against the perineum—leading to overall deeper sensations than you might achieve with a dildo alone. The massager is also app- and remote-controllable, and the remote’s power can be increased with the flick of a wrist in case you want to go hands-free. “The Hugo is a great addition to your bedroom arsenal,” one Glamour toy tester says. “It’s soft to the touch and just the right size and shape for people of any experience level. It might look big, but it’s designed to be the perfect size to tease the prostate.”
Material: Body-safe silicone, ABS plastic | Length: 4.1 inches | Insertable length: 3.4 inches | Diameter: 1.28 inches | Waterproof: Yes | Suction: No | Anal safe: Yes | Harness-compatible: No | Battery: 2-hour rechargeable battery | Run time: 2 hours | How to clean: Wash stem with warm water and antibacterial soap, rinse with hot water, pat dry with lint-free towel; or use water-based sex toy cleanser
- Why we love it: App- and remote-controllable; two motors; vibrates from gentle to rumbly; waterproof
- What’s worth considering: Expensive; doesn’t have suction; incompatible with silicone- and oil-based lubes

Njoy Pure Wand
“This sleek stainless-steel dildo has two different-size weighted balls, and it’s wonderfully curved,” says Megan Fleming, PhD, a psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist. That curve angles its ends to firmly press against the G-spot or prostate which is great for some thrusting and rocking. Meanwhile, the weighted balls add a feeling of fullness that some people really like. Also worth noting: Stainless steel is easy to clean with soap and water; can be used with any type of lube; and holds heat and cold well if you want to experiment with temperature play. To try this sensual play, simply run it under warm water or stick it in the fridge for a few minutes.
Material: Stainless steel | Length: 9 inches | Insertable length: 8 inches | Diameter: 1.5 inches and 1 inch (double-ended) | Circumference: 5.5 inches | Waterproof: Yes | Suction: No | Anal-safe: Yes | Harness-compatible: No | How to clean: Wash with soap and water, pat dry with soft cloth
- Why we love it: Perfectly curved to hit the P-spot or G-spot; compatible with temperature play; easy to clean
- What’s worth considering: Not harness-compatible; doesn’t have suction; metal may feel too rigid and full to some

Lovehoney Beginner’s Strap-On Harness Kit
If you’re ready to giving pegging a go, we suggest picking up this beginner’s strap-on harness kit. We like that Lovehoney’s budget-friendly set provides everything you need: an adjustable harness, a dildo (in an approachable insertable length for first-timers), and three O-rings that let you swap your own dildos in when you’re ready to graduate to new lengths. “I love this set not just because it’s comfortable and easy to use, but because it’s not overwhelming when you put it on,” says Amanda Chatel, Glamour writer and sex toy reviewer. “As someone who prefers vibes with my dildos, I’ve also found that putting a vibrating cock ring at the base against the O-ring really adds an extra thrill for both partners.”
Material: Body-safe soft silicone | Length: 5 inches | Insertable length: 4.5 inches | Circumference: 3 inches | Harness size: 68 inches | Waterproof: Yes | Suction: No | Anal safe: Yes | How to clean: Wash dildo with warm water and soap
- Why we love: Includes dildo and three O-rings so you can try other dildo sizes; harness is adjustable for different sizes; affordable

Fun Factory Limba Flex
The extra-bendable shaft of this suction-cup dildo from Fun Factory conforms to the body’s shape while remaining firm enough for powerful thrusting. Its moldability makes it especially suited to P-spot massage, even more so combined with that curved head. “You can flex it in all sorts of different directions for your just-right fit,” says Marla Renee Stewart, MA, an AASECT-certified sex educator and founder of Velvet Lips, who calls it “multidimensional.” Its wide suction base makes it easy to stick to a smooth, flat surface to mount or ride by yourself, and you can tuck it into a strap-on for partnered play.
Material: Body-safe silicone | Insertable length: 4.33 inches (small); 6.69 inches (medium); 7 inches (large) | Diameter: 1.1 inches (small); 1.4 inches (medium); 1.6 inches (large) | Waterproof: Yes | Suction: Strong | Anal-safe: Yes | Harness-compatible: Yes | How to clean: Wash with warm water and soap or a sex toy cleaner
- Why we love it: Versatile; flexible; curved enough to hit the G-spot or P-spot; nonrealistic; easy to clean
- What’s worth considering: The dildo comes in three lengths (start small if you’re new to anal)

Unbound Gemini
This shiny glass dildo is two toys in one: One side has a classic dildo shape with a curve and rounded head for G-spot stimulation, and the other has three beads that can be used for gradually increasing anal or vaginal penetration. “I love that the Gemini has two ends for two different experiences, and it’s great for anal since it’s on the smaller, not-too-intimidating side,” says Shannon, who adds that the toy is compatible with any type of lube (so no fumbling to figure out the right one). Another plus of this glass dildo? It’s dishwasher-safe(!), and you can easily change the temperature of the toy by running it under warm water or sticking it in the fridge (for some foreplay ideas).
Material: Borosilicate glass | Length: 8.25 inches | Insertable length: 5 inches | Circumference: 3 inches at its smallest; 4 inches at its widest | Waterproof: Yes | Suction: No | Anal-safe: Yes | Harness-compatible: No | How to clean: Wash with warm water and soap, boil it, or run it through the dishwasher
- Why we love it: Curves to hit G- or P-spot; one end is beaded for extra sensation; compatible with all lube types; easy to clean; can be used for temperature play
- What’s worth considering: Not flexible

Maude Cone
If you’re still working your way up to trying a dildo, start small with a butt plug (or anal beads). “Anal training is important because the muscles and tissue in the anus can easily be damaged without proper preparation,” says Luna Matatas, sex educator and host of the anal sex podcast The Plug. The Maude Cone is made from soft, flexible silicone and has a petite, slim body. Glamour sex toy writer Suzannah Weiss praises its elegant aesthetic, slender shape, and low price point. “With excessive-seeming amounts of water-based lube and gradual movement, I was surprised that the Cone went in with little discomfort. And once I got the insertion itself out of the way, it stayed snuggly in there thanks to its flared base, which also happens to have a suction cup so adventurous users can attach it to the floor or wall,” Weiss says. “I used a vibrator on my clit while the Cone was inside my anus, and when I climaxed, I could feel my anal muscles contracting along with my vagina—sort of like a full-pelvis orgasm.
Material: Medical-grade silicone | Length: 4.25 inches | Insertable length: 3.5 inches | Diameter: 1.5 inches | Insertable diameter: 1 inch | Waterproof: Yes | Suction: Strong | Anal-safe: Yes | Harness-compatible: No | How to clean: Wash with warm water and mild, unscented dish soap or a silicone-friendly toy cleaner; to disinfect, boil for 10 minutes and air dry
- Why we love it: Small enough for any beginner to anal play; strong suction base; affordable; easy to clean
- What’s worth considering: Cannot be used with a harness; incompatible with silicone-based and oil-based lubes; does not vibrate

Lovehoney Double Duty Vibrating Strap-On Dildo
Here’s the deal with double-sided dildos: Two people use it with a strap-on harness—and they both get penetration out of the experience. “The person wearing the strap-on typically has a vulva. The larger side is for penetration into their partner, while the other end is inserted into the thruster’s vaginal canal,” says Indigo Stray Conger, LMFT, an AASECT-certified sex therapist. This double-ended dildo is ideal for both vaginal and anal sex, and it has the added benefit of three vibration modes and seven patterns to experiment with (as well as a remote control) on both ends.
Material: Body-safe silicone | Length: 12 inches | Insertable length: 7 inches | Circumference: 4.5 inches | Waterproof: Splash-proof but not submersible | Suction: No | Anal-safe: Yes | Harness-compatible: Yes (included) | Battery: 2 AAA batteries | How to clean: Wash with warm water and soap or a sex toy cleaner
- Why we love it: Can provide penetration for two people; includes harness (adjustable up to 65 inches); remote-controllable; curved shaft
- What’s worth considering: Not rechargeable; not waterproof

Tantus Ripple Large
The harness-compatible Tantus Ripple is a cross between a dildo and a chain of anal beads, which provide a sense of fullness and pressure combined with an in-and-out movement. “This one is cool and unique because you can put in one ‘ball’ or all of them, and it can allow you to work up to larger anal insertions gradually at your own pace,” says Shannon. It’s an excellent toy to use if you want to train yourself anally to accept fuller girths.
Material: Body-safe silicone | Insertable length: 6.85 inches | Diameter: Beads start at 0.78 inches in diameter and build to 1.5 inches | Waterproof: Yes | Suction: No | Anal-safe: Yes | Harness-compatible: Yes | How to clean: Boil to sanitize or run through the dishwasher
- Why we love it: Good choice for playing with size; provides unique feeling of fullness; harness-compatible; comes in three sizes
- What’s worth considering: Doesn’t have suction

Happy Rabbit Triple Curve Rabbit
This funky cactus-looking rabbit vibrator triples your sensations. Hit the G-spot with the toy’s angled shaft that slips inside the vagina and can be used for external massage; tickle the clit with its bunny ears; and graduate to anal play with its string of anal beads that are approachably small. Each component has a separate motor for three times the vibrational power—a truly dramatic experience when you try them all simultaneously.
Material: Silicone | Length: 10 inches | Insertable length: 4.5 inches | Circumference: 5 inches | Waterproof: Yes | Suction: No | Anal-safe: No | Harness-compatible: No | Battery: 2.5-hour rechargeable battery | Run time: 120 minutes | How to clean: Wash with warm water and soap or a sex toy cleaner
- Why we love it: Combines three types of sex toy in one; 21 vibration modes; rechargeable; quiet; waterproof
- What’s worth considering: May be tricky to use; anal beads are not very long

How to choose a dildo
- Figure out how you want to use the dildo. Want to try anal? Make sure your dildo has a flared base so it doesn’t get stuck in your butt (eek!). Want some hands-free fun? Opt for a dildo with a strong suction cup, says sex and relationship therapist David Khalili, LMFT.
- Consider the material of the dildo. Silicone is the most popular for its soft, skinlike feel. Notably, silicone dildos should only be used with water-based lube, since silicone-based and oil-based options might actually cause the toy to break down. Borosilicate glass, hypoallergenic metal (like stainless steel and titanium), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic dildos are more rigid than silicone, allowing you to experiment with different sensations. They can also be used with any personal lubricant you like and are easy to clean—but are not usually designed to fit into a strap-on harness, if you’re interested in pegging or anal sex.
- Take into account the dildo’s size and length.“Think about any penetration experiences that have been pleasurable—or for that matter, too much or not enough—and do your best to guesstimate the size of the fingers, object, penis, or whatever it was that you know you liked or know you didn’t,” Carol Queen, PhD, staff expert at Good Vibrations, recommends. While your impulse might just be to buy a large dildo, there’s a chance it won’t feel great unless you know that bigger really does feel better for your body—as in, you’ve enjoyed sex with a partner with a bigger penis.
- Think about its design and shape. Some dildos are almost scarily lifelike, others are colorful, rippled, or even decorated with confetti, and others look more like modern art. Decide which feels most like a turn-on to you. Consider its shape as well since some dildos come with curved shafts or heads to make it easier to find and massage the P-spot and G-spot.

How to use a dildo
Lube up! No matter where you’ll be putting your dildo, lubricant cuts down on friction and makes for better play, Dr. Queen says. (Don’t know where to start? Peep our list of best lubes.) Again, if you’re using a silicone toy, which is likely, stick to water-based lubricants to keep your toys from falling apart.
Start slow—and small. Butt plugs, anal beads, and dildos on the slimmer, shorter side are perfect for adjusting your anus to having something inside of it. Grasp the anus in your hand near the base if you want to insert just a little bit at a time, moving in long, slow strokes before you get going.
Use that suction cup (or harness). Stick the dildo’s suction base against a smooth, flat surface (like a shower wall) so you can access it on your own (and again, lube is your friend). You can also attach any harness-compatible dildo into a strap-on to try out pegging with a partner.
Add other forms of stimulation. To make it easier to orgasm, Dr. Queen says, you can mix in stimulation with vibrators, suction toys, or your fingers—especially if you’re using a suction-cup dildo, which leaves both hands free to explore.

How to clean a dildo
Silicone, glass, and metal are the easiest to clean because they’re nonporous, Dr. Queen says, meaning they’re less likely to trap moisture or bacteria after use. You can usually achieve this by washing them with warm water and mild, antibacterial soap and then by drying them with a soft, lint-free cloth. To disinfect a nonporous toy that doesn’t have any sort of motor, you can usually boil it for 10 minutes. Many dildos can be cleaned in the dishwasher as well, but make sure you check the instructions before tossing them in.
