When it comes to sex toys, people tend to gravitate toward vibrators. And while vibrators are great and come highly recommended, it seems almost unfair to skip the toy that started it all: the dildo.
Whether with a partner or masturbating by yourself, dildos are an important sex toy to have in any sexual arsenal because of their versatility. Not only are they great for vaginal penetration and anal penetration, but they can be used orally, with a partner (especially if they’re double-ended), and to fulfill any sexual fantasy.
“Even if fingertips are one of the best and cheapest ways to pleasure yourself, dildos can be a miracle,” says Laurène Dorléac, founder and CEO of Climax, a virtual platform that teaches people with vulvas how to pleasure themselves. “If you are alone and want to explore deep spots in your vagina, I recommend buying a toy designed for G-spot stimulation that can also be used for A and O spots. If you’re [with a partner], toys should be viewed as something that can enhance the experience . . . [Dildos can] provide additional stimulations and thus create better sexual satisfaction.”
But finding the best dildos to meet your needs isn’t always easy. You can invest in the trial-and-error process and eventually realize you’ve found your soulmate in dildo form, or you can take a look at the list ahead. When it comes to dildos, these are the best you’ll find.
