Dildos come in a variety of sizes, from the demure beginner probe to the 12-inch jumbo. Making the right choice that works for your body can be overwhelming, but don't worry, we're here to help you pick the perfect dildo.
The process of choosing the right dildo for you is no different from any life or love decision, really. You need to weigh your options - features, pros, cons, price, size... the list goes on. From double headed dildo to vibrating dildo, from realistic to creative styling, from small to large, there are tons of different dildos to choose from. On the one hand, you can finally get what you want and need, whether it's a big dildo or a small dildo. On the other hand, you may end up with unsatisfactory experiences that you don't want to repeat. This is no fun for anyone!
So, what is the best dildo size for your adult sex toy collection? What is the average size of a dildo? How do you choose the right one for your sexual needs? These are the questions we're here to help you answer. Before you know it, you'll know exactly how to choose the perfect dildo for all your playtime needs.
Dildos come in many shapes, sizes, lengths, widths, circumferences, materials, colors, and more. You can find things that resemble natural penises, skin tones and veins, and things that look completely different like those with artificial ribs and bumps and fun colors like purple, blue, sparkly pink, etc. Wait.
Which dildo you prefer to own or buy is entirely up to your preference and there is no wrong answer! One important thing to consider, though, is size. Dildo size matters! Too small or too big and you may not be able to enjoy it as deeply or intensely as you would like. Bottom line: As with most things in life, it's important to determine the dildo size you want, and then go after it.
Dildo Length Comparison
Here's a fun fact: the average dildo size many women choose is about 21% larger than their partner's penis. That said, some people prefer a smaller, thicker penis, some prefer a long, thin penis, and some can't get enough of it. It's true, we're all different, and so are our penis tastes (if we're even attracted to them!). Luckily, dildos range in length from six to twelve inches, so there are plenty of options. If you're wondering how to make a dildo bigger, we've got some tips for adjusting the dildo you probably already own. Let's divide the different sizes into three categories:
● Smaller Dildos - These dildos are closer in size to a regular penis. They're a great option if you're looking for a realistic feel and are perfect for dildo beginners. Smaller dildos range from about six inches long (but can be smaller) to about eight inches long.
● Medium Dildo - Medium dildos can range from 8 inches to 10 inches. Although these dildos are larger than regular penises, they are in the middle range of dildo sizes. Most are slightly shorter than the high edge of the notebook paper. As a rule of thumb, you may or may not need to train your body to accept a dildo of this size.
● Big Dildos - Next up is the "bigger is better" big dildo. They range in size from 10 inches to 14 inches (no pun intended). Large dildos are a great option for those who like a plump, stretched feel. A 12-inch dildo is about the same length as two soda cans or a standard ruler stacked together. You might have to work hard to use one of these dildos in your bedroom unless you're already a pro, in which case, give it a try!
Dildo Width/Circumference Comparison
It's hard to make a dildo size comparison using length alone. When choosing the best dildo for your sexual needs, you also need to compare width and girth. Both terms refer to the thickness of a dildo, but in very different ways. Ready for some sexy geometry?
The width of a dildo is measured from side to side. Think of the dildo as a circle. This number will be the diameter or length of the line drawn along the center of the circle. This measurement is used although not all dildos are perfectly round.
On the other hand, the circumference is the same as the circumference of the circle. How big is it around? This size is important because it needs to fit you horizontally. If the circumference of the dildo is too large, it may hurt or feel stuck when inserted.
How to find the right dildo size
When looking for the right dildo size, you need to weigh many different factors. For example, what size are you used to? You need to start there instead of buying an oversized dildo that you need to work hard to achieve. Measure your current dildo or your partner's penis to determine where to start, and remember there are no wrong answers here. Many end up with a range of dildo sizes, which is great! As they say, variety is the spice of life. Some stay small, some say "go big or go home". If you choose the latter, make sure you know how to use a large dildo safely! After all, you have to love one (or two, or three) with you. Be realistic and adventurous, and most importantly, enjoy the ride!
Not sure which dildo size is right for you? If you're a beginner, we recommend starting with a smaller dildo, which is more similar to an average-sized penis.
