18 Best Realistic Dildos of 2025: Better Than A Man?

This is a great realistic-looking dildo with a vibrator in the shaft and all the features you would want from a dildo. The dual density with different materials is a great touch and one that I wish more would make. It’s cast with platinum-cured silicone which is the best material to use in realistic dildos since it feels like real skin. Other design tweaks like the tapered tip make LELO LOKI Wave easy to insert during anal play, even if you’re not the most experienced sex toy consumer. Strap-on dildos may be double-ended, meant to be worn by users who want to experience vaginal or anal penetration while also penetrating a partner.

While in some cases, you get what you pay for, “there absolutely are sex toys for under $50 that are safe and well-made Inflatable Dildos,” says Wright. Many of the budget-friendly options below are great for beginners, as luxury toys can have too many intimidating bells and whistles. Our favorite palm vibe, the Le Wand Point, has a sleek stainless steel handle and an uber-soft ridged silicone tip. The heavier steel end allows the toy to provide more pressure than an all-silicone option, Finn previously told SELF. Other nice-to-haves include an intuitive button display, a travel lock, and a fully waterproof design (shower sex, anyone?). Palm vibrators are named for the fact that they fit into, yep, the palm of your hand.

(Don’t worry, we note which ones are anal-safe below.) Want some hands-free fun? Opt for a toy with a strong suction cup, says David Khalili, LMFT, a sex and relationship therapist. Many of the standard realistic dildos on the market may be girthier or longer than you’re used to.

You can’t judge exactly how lifelike a dildo feels based off visual appearance, in reality, some are too soft others are too firm. Density is key, but that’s difficult to determine if it feels like skin just by looking at a few pictures on a website. You’re at the mercy of the sex toy store’s product description to let you know how rigid or soft the shaft feels. We’ll explore the similarities & differences between a realistic dildo and a dual density dildo.

Which, by the way, is also a solid way to get more comfortable with your strap-on in general, so win-win. If you’re wondering how to use a dildo, you might be asking one of a few questions. Maybe you’re wondering how to integrate a dildo into your masturbation routine. Or maybe you’re thinking about buying a dildo but want to brush up on everything you can do with it before you take the plunge. We committed to the mission that we are always here to make each toy designed with pleasure and passion as inspiration. If you’re eyeing up a dildo for anal, these qualities will ensure the most pleasurable experience.

And judging by the hundreds of dildos we’ve seen, that generally matches the hard data. There’s a lot of features packed into this medium-sized dildo (squirting, vibration, suction cup base). Available with either a suction cup base for hands-free play, or a clit-stimulating ‘saddle’ for strap on use. There are 9 sizes available ranging from 4.5 up to 9.2 inches of insertable length, and 1.4 to 2.5 inches of shaft diameter. So there’s pretty good variety for whatever shape you’re looking for, whether short and girthy, long and thin, or a more proportional size in between.

And in that regard, there are around 20 VixSkin dildos to choose from. A very bulbous head means there’s little taper to warm up to the shaft of the toy. But it’s also great for stimulating the g-spot or prostate once inserted. The fact is that all of these materials are porous (and jellies are downright toxic), meaning they can harbor bacteria over time that you’ll never be able to clean out. The Lovehoney Desire Luxury Beaded Stainless Steel Dildo is great for those who love a varied sensation with every thrust. It’s the perfect blend of the pleasure you get from anal beads and the intensity provided by metal dildos.

We aim to cater to as many people as we can with our toy collections, so you’ll find lots of options for dildo newbies. If this is your first time trying this type of toy, you may want to start with small dildo toys, rather than diving straight in with giant dildos. It’s always best to take baby steps and explore your preferences first before you buy a dildo. Once you’ve mastered your first model , you can explore vibrating dildos or even double-ended ones if your partner takes an interest. Stick the toy’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).
