How to Choose a Dildo: A Two-Minute Match Guide
To choose a dildo, start with comfortable size, then check the material, the shape and any extra features like vibration. Beginners do best with a smaller, smooth, body-safe toy and water-based lubricant. Answer two quick questions below to see your match.
What should you look for when choosing a dildo?
Direct answer: Look at four things: size (length and thickness), material, shape and features. Pick a size you feel relaxed about, a smooth non-porous material, a shape that suits how you will use it, and add vibration or a suction base only if you want them.

Lubricant, safety and care
Water-based lubricant suits most toys. Silicone lubricant can damage silicone surfaces, so check the listing first. Never use a toy with a sharp edge or a damaged surface, and stop if anything hurts.
Wash with warm water and mild, unscented soap before and after use, then dry fully. Store it clean in a pouch, away from heat and apart from toys made of other materials. A condom helps if you share a toy. This is general guidance, not medical advice.
Key takeaways
- Choose size first, then material, shape and features.
- Smaller and smoother is the safest place to begin.
- Use water-based lubricant and clean the toy every time.
