Dildos

A dildo is a non-vibrating, insertable pleasure toy designed for solo or partnered stimulation, made in a range of materials, shapes and sizes to suit different bodies, preferences and experience levels. At Lace & Luna, every dildo in our collection is chosen personally for its quality, design and body-safe materials, so you can explore with confidence. Our range spans realistic dildos, silicone dildos, glass dildos, G-spot dildos, anal dildos, double-ended designs, strap-on compatible options and fantasy dildos.

Types of Dildos Explained

Dildos come in several distinct styles, each suited to a different kind of sensation or use. Understanding the main types makes it easier to choose a design that matches what you are looking for.

Realistic Dildos

Realistic dildos are shaped to resemble a penis, often with a defined head, shaft detailing and a firm yet flexible feel. Many include a suction cup base for hands-free play or a flared base that makes them compatible with a harness. Browse our realistic dildos for lifelike designs in body-safe silicone and dual-density materials, or recreate a partner's shape at home with a penis cloning kit.

Silicone Dildos

Silicone dildos are among the most popular choices because medical-grade silicone is non-porous, hypoallergenic and easy to clean. The material warms gently to body temperature and has a smooth, velvety finish. Silicone should be paired only with water-based lubricant, as silicone lubricant can break down the surface over time.

Glass Dildos

Our glass dildos are made from toughened borosilicate glass, the same shatter-resistant glass used in laboratory equipment. They are completely non-porous, compatible with any lubricant and hold temperature well, so they can be gently warmed or cooled for temperature play. Their firm, smooth surface suits anyone who prefers more defined, targeted pressure.

G-Spot Dildos

G-spot dildos feature a curved or angled tip designed to reach and stimulate the internal G-spot area more precisely. A firmer material such as glass, metal or dense silicone often makes the curve more effective, as it transfers pressure exactly where it is wanted.

Anal Dildos

Any dildo used for anal play must have a flared or wide base to keep it safe, as the design stops the toy from travelling too far. Our anal dildos are selected with this in mind. Always start slowly, relax fully and use a generous amount of anal lubricant.

Double-Ended Dildos

A double-ended dildo has an insertable end at each end. It can be used for partnered play between two people, or by one person for simultaneous or alternating stimulation. Flexible double-ended designs tend to offer the most versatility and comfort.

Strap-On Dildos

Strap-on compatible dildos have a flared base that fits securely into a harness, making them ideal for hands-free partnered play. Look for a firm base and a size that feels comfortable for both partners when choosing a strap-on dildo from the wider dildos range.

Vibrating Dildos

If you would like added sensation, vibrating dildos combine the familiar shape of a classic dildo with built-in vibration, offering deeper, more intense stimulation in a single toy.

Fantasy Dildos

Fantasy dildos move away from realistic shapes towards imaginative, sculptural and themed designs, often in bold colours and unique textures. They are a playful, expressive choice for anyone who wants something beyond the conventional.

What Is the Best Material for a Dildo?

The safest dildo materials are non-porous, meaning they do not trap bacteria and can be cleaned thoroughly. Medical-grade or platinum-cured silicone, borosilicate glass and stainless steel are widely regarded as the most body-safe options, as they are free from phthalates and can be properly sanitised between uses. High-grade silicone meets recognised biocompatibility standards such as ISO 10993, the same family of standards applied to medical devices.

Each material offers a different experience. Silicone is prized for its soft, flexible feel and gentle warmth; glass and metal provide firmness and the option of temperature play. Softer materials such as TPE feel very lifelike but are porous, so they need extra care and are best used with a condom.

How to Choose a Dildo, Especially for Beginners

If you are buying your first dildo, comfort matters far more than size. A smaller, slim silicone dildo with some flexibility is usually the easiest starting point, and a tapered tip helps with gentle, gradual insertion. When comparing options, consider three things: material (body-safe and easy to clean), size (length and, most importantly, girth) and shape (straight, curved or realistic). A suction cup base adds stability and hands-free positioning, whilst a flared base is essential for anal use. There is no right or wrong choice, only what feels comfortable and exciting for you.

How to Use a Dildo Safely

Always pair your dildo with a suitable lubricant. Water-based lubricant is the most versatile option and the only type recommended for silicone toys. Take your time, start slowly and never rush insertion. For anal play, choose a toy with a flared base, use plenty of anal lubricant and relax fully before you begin. If you share a toy with a partner, use a condom or clean it thoroughly between users to reduce the risk of transferring bacteria.

How to Clean and Care for Your Dildo

Clean your dildo before and after every use. Non-porous materials such as silicone, glass and stainless steel can be washed with warm water and a mild, unscented soap, or with a dedicated toy cleaner. Many 100% silicone, glass and metal toys without electronics can also be boiled or sanitised, though you should always check the manufacturer's guidance first. Allow the toy to dry fully and store it separately in a clean pouch. Explore our toy cleaners and care essentials to keep everything hygienic and in good condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dildo used for?

A dildo is used for insertable vaginal or anal stimulation, either solo or with a partner. It can also be used for G-spot stimulation, paired with a harness for strap-on play, or combined with a clitoral toy or vibrator for added sensation.

Are silicone dildos safe?

Yes. Medical-grade silicone is non-porous, hypoallergenic and free from phthalates, which makes it one of the safest and most hygienic materials for intimate use. Pair silicone dildos with water-based lubricant and clean them before and after every use.

What lubricant should I use with a silicone dildo?

Use a water-based lubricant with silicone dildos. Silicone-based lubricant can break down the surface of a silicone toy over time, so it is best avoided. Glass and metal dildos, by contrast, are compatible with any type of lubricant.

Can you use a dildo for anal play?

Only use a dildo with a flared or wide base for anal play. The flared base prevents the toy from being drawn in too far. Go slowly, use a generous amount of anal lubricant and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.

What is a double-ended dildo?

A double-ended dildo is insertable at both ends. It can be shared by two people during partnered play or used by one person for dual stimulation. Flexible versions are the most adaptable.

What is a fantasy dildo?

A fantasy dildo is a non-realistic design featuring imaginative shapes, textures and colours rather than a lifelike form. Fantasy and speciality dildos are a creative option for anyone who wants something unique.

How do I choose the right dildo size?

Start by considering girth rather than length, as width has the biggest effect on comfort. Beginners often prefer slimmer, flexible designs, whilst more experienced users may choose larger or firmer toys. Choose a size that feels comfortable and always pair it with plenty of lubricant.
