How to Choose the Right Dildo

Dildos have been around for centuries: Phallic-shaped objects (made from stone, leather, wood, or clay) have been found in countless excavation sites around the world. Today, in the 21st century, dildos are among the most popular toys worldwide for single people or couples, no matter their gender! There’s a reason why dildos have stood the test of time: simplicity. Dildos are straightforward, but that doesn’t mean they’re not versatile. No matter what you’re into, there’s a dildo to meet your needs! But first, let’s get some basics out of the way and show you how to choose the right dildo for you.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DILDO AND A VIBRATOR?

A dildo doesn’t have a motor. Lots of folks use "dildo" and "vibrator" interchangeably, but they’re not the same thing. Vibrators have motors and, you know, vibrate. Dildos are their own special kind of joy.

BUT DON’T DILDOS ONLY DO ONE THING?

You and your partner can maneuver your dildo in any number of ways, and you’ll always have complete control. Insert the dildo vaginally or anally and thrust it in and out to make your partner (or yourself) moan. Just want that feeling of fullness? You can insert a dildo the way you might a butt plug while other pleasures are being had. Want wonderfully tight double penetration? Dildos have you covered. With a wide variety of possible shapes and sizes, the options for pleasure are nearly limitless.

OK, OK! DILDOS ARE GREAT!

BUT WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT FUN FACTORY DILDOS?

Made from velvety, medical-grade silicone, all of our dildos are completely body-safe. We offer a range of texturesfrom smooth to ribbed and everything in-betweento provide a variety of sensations for your play.

Plus, the flared base makes our dildos safe for anal play, as that base prevents the toy from sliding in too far. The base is sturdy, but also not too thick, so it can be easily used in a harness. The shapes of our dildos let you choose between realistic and fanciful, smooth and textured, single and double, and more!

Not sure what you’re looking at? We’ll break it down for you to make it easier to find the perfect dildo for you.

CLASSIC DILDOS

These have a natural shape and a thin base that makes them harness-compatible for strap-on play that lets you get closer than ever. The base even provides surprisingly strong suction against smooth surfaces, making these toys great for, say, shower play. If this sounds up your alley, check out AMOR (in classic colors or special bi and rainbow editions), MAGNUM, or THE BOSS.

WEARABLE DOUBLE DILDOS

Wearable double dildos have a smaller bulb that gets inserted vaginally and a longer shaft for playing with a partner. Speaking of strapping on, our SHARE LITE double dildo is actually lightweight enough to be used without a harness, and its adjustable hinge gives you a secure fit in any position.
