Choosing a dildo might feel daunting, but it's one of the most personal pleasure decisions you'll make. The good news? There's no wrong answer — only what's right for you. Whether this is your first time exploring, or you're building a collection, this guide walks you through every decision without the fluff.
Pleasure is self-care. Let's find your match.
Types of Dildos
The dildo category is huge, and each type delivers a different experience. Here's what's out there:
Realistic Dildos: These are sculpted to look anatomical — veins, contours, varied skin tones. They appeal to people who love visual detail and lifelike sensation. Brands like King Cock and Doc Johnson dominate this space. Most come with a suction cup base for hands-free play.
Silicone Dildos: The Swiss Army knife of pleasure products. Silicone is body-safe, hypoallergenic, temperature-responsive (warm or cool for different feels), and lasts forever with basic care. Come in smooth or textured finishes, realistic or abstract shapes. This is our best-seller for good reason.
Glass Dildos: Pure sensation. Borosilicate glass is non-porous, incredibly smooth, and temperature-responsive (warm in hot water, cool in cold water for intense sensation play). They're weighty, which some people love for depth and control. No pores means zero bacteria risk — they last a lifetime.
Vibrating Dildos: Motorised pleasure. These add vibration to any shape — realistic, silicone, or abstract. Variable speed settings let you dial in exactly what feels good. Perfect solo or with a partner.
Double-Ended Dildos: One toy, two ends. Great for partnered play (both penetrating each other) or solo use where you want internal and external sensation at once. Comes in various total lengths and girths.
Suction Cup Dildos: Hands-free magic. These mount to any smooth surface — tile, glass, even furniture — so you can ride, bounce, or enjoy completely hands-free. Many are harness-compatible too, so you can strap them on.
How to Choose Your Size
Size anxiety is real. But here's the truth: it's not about the biggest — it's about what feels good.
Absolute beginner? Start with 4–5 inches long and 1.25–1.5 inches in girth (thickness). This is forgiving, feels substantial without overwhelming, and gives you a baseline for what you like. Many people's "favourite" toy falls right in this range, even after years of exploration.
Experienced, but new to a certain type? Stick to your comfort range first. You can always go bigger next time. The golden rule: you can always upgrade, but you can't downgrade the experience. Start modest.
Want to go bigger? Do it gradually. Add an inch in length, or 0.25 inches in girth, and notice how it changes the sensation. You'll find your sweet spot.
Unsure of your measurements? Our in-store team at Cannon Hill, Capalaba, or Margate can show you comparable sizes in person — no shame, just helpful guidance. You'll walk away knowing exactly what to look for.
Best Dildo Materials (Safety First)
Not all materials are created equal. Some are body-safe, others can harbour bacteria or leach chemicals. Here's what matters:
Silicone (Best overall): Non-porous, hypoallergenic, doesn't leach anything. Cleans easily, lasts forever, feels amazing. Medical-grade or food-grade silicone are the safest options. This is what most experts recommend for beginners and long-term use.
Borosilicate Glass (Best for sensation): Non-porous (zero bacteria risk), incredibly smooth, temperature-responsive, and literally unbreakable under normal use. More expensive, but you'll have it for life. Perfect if you love precision and zero material risk.
Stainless Steel (Best for durability + sensation): Non-porous, weighty, temperature-responsive, and lasts forever. Often more expensive. Loved by people who like a solid, no-nonsense toy.
Avoid: Jelly rubber, PVC, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), and anything that feels sticky or melts slightly. These materials can leach plasticizers into your body and harbour bacteria. No matter how cheap, they're not worth the risk.
The safety check: At Naughty But Nice, every dildo we stock meets body-safety standards. If a product doesn't make the cut, it doesn't make it to our shelves.
