How we chose
Every pick is in stock at Numen today and was chosen on four things you can check yourself: a body-safe, non-porous material (silicone or borosilicate glass), clear published dimensions, a practical base (suction cup and/or harness-compatible) and fair value at its price. We left out porous jelly and PVC toys from the top picks because they are harder to keep clean.

How to choose the right dildo
Size: width matters more than length
Most people are happiest with 5 to 7 inches of insertable length and 1.25 to 1.75 inches of width. For reference, the average erect penis is about 5.2 inches long and 4.6 inches around, according to a 2015 review in BJU International. If you are new, start smaller than you think: you can always size up. Use the Length and Width filters in our dildo collection to compare.
Material: choose non-porous
Silicone, glass and stainless steel are non-porous, so they are easier to clean thoroughly. Jelly, PVC and many TPE toys are porous and can trap bacteria. More detail in our dildo materials guide.
Base: suction cup, harness or handle
A suction cup lets you ride or use the toy hands-free on smooth tile or glass. A flared base is essential for anal play and makes most dildos harness compatible. Balls double as a handle.
Realistic, fantasy or vibrating
Realistic and dual-density dildos mimic the look and feel of skin. Fantasy shapes add texture. Vibrating dildos add buzz but need charging or batteries.
Lube and care
Use a water-based lube with silicone toys, since silicone lube can damage silicone surfaces over time; glass and steel work with any lube. Shop personal lubricants. Wash before and after use with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner, and let it air-dry. See how to clean and maintain your dildo.
FAQ
What is the best dildo for beginners?
A small silicone dildo with a flared or suction cup base, around 4 to 6 inches long and under 1.5 inches wide. Our pick is the Silicone 4-inch Suction Cup Dildo.
Is silicone or TPE better?
Silicone. It is non-porous, lasts longer and is easier to clean. TPE feels softer but is porous and needs more careful care.
Can I use any dildo with a strap-on?
Only dildos with a flared base that fits your harness ring. Check that the listing says harness compatible.
How do you clean a dildo?
Warm water and fragrance-free soap or toy cleaner before and after every use, then air-dry. Some silicone and glass toys are dishwasher safe; check the product details.
