Other dildos that have two heads are sized for your own self-pleasure, and you’ll find a handful of dildos that have a flexible body that you can bend in half to insert in two holes for unique and enhanced sexual sensations.

With silicone dildos, you’ll have the utmost comfort when it comes to dildos since they’re velvety soft. Vibrating dildos, G-spot dongs, and phallically shaped peckers are just a few of the various types of silicone dildos you can add to your secret drawer of naughty goodies.

Perfectly shaped and sized to have a shorter length and narrower girth, these pleasure-enhancing toys are the entry ticket you need to kick off your sex toy adventures.



Strapless Dildos

If you’re not a fan of strap-on harnesses or you want to have a more intimate lovemaking session with your lover, strapless dildos are essential for your sex toy collection. These innovative dildos typically have a sleek design with a lifelike appearance. Featuring a shaft on one end and a bulb on the other, this variation of the dildo toy is meant to be for lesbian couples. One partner holds onto the bulb end with their vaginal muscles (Kegels) and thrusts the shaft end into the other partner. Some may find these dildos more challenging, but you can strengthen your sex muscles by using Kegel exercise tools from our Kegel Health Toys Collection.

G-Spot Dildos

The G-spot is a female erogenous zone that can be difficult to find or apply pressure to depending on the size and location. Though the rule of thumb for finding your G-spot is to reach 1-3 inches inside your vagina with two fingers and make a come-hither motion against your front vaginal wall, some woman still can’t pinpoint their G-spot. If you want guaranteed G-spot stimulation and make it much easier for you to target this elusive sweet spot, then try a G-spot dildo! Shaped with a curved shaft or a dramatically angled tip, G-spot dildos are specifically designed this way to help apply pressure to your G-spot, which is necessary if you want this type of vaginal stimulation. From dildo vibrators to glass, you can find a wide range of sensual G-spot-arousing pleasure wands and dongs to give your G-spot much-needed love.


No matter what type of dildo you’re taking home with you, make sure to stay safe and make dildo play extra comfortable by getting a lubricant from our Sex Essentials Collection. You can also find exciting lubes to try with your new dildo, such as warming lubricants and G-spot stimulating gels.
