Best Dildos of 2024: How to Choose a Dildo

Whether you’re hunting for your G-spot or P-spot, you need the right equipment to satisfy your horny cravings. And when looking for that ultimate sex toy for your daily happy hour, you can never go wrong with a dildo. 

For thousands of years (over 30,000 to be exact), dildos have been our go-to choice for a little solo fun. However, dildos have come a long way since their ancient time invention. 

Although the concept behind the toy stays the same, dildos now come in a wide variety of sizes, colors, materials, and even shapes. This means that finding the right dildo for your needs has become much more challenging, especially for beginners. 

If this is your first time choosing your new phallic-shaped companion, Ballistic Metal is here to help. Below, we’ll dive deep into the basics of choosing the best dildo, followed by our top choice for 2024. 

How to Choose a Dildo

The truth is that any standard dildo will likely do its job pleasuring you. However, if you’re looking for the most intense, comfortable, and safe experience, spending some time researching your options is much recommended. 

Here are the key factors to consider when choosing the best dildo:

Understand Your Desires
Are you looking for a toy to use alone or with a partner? Solo play might call for different features than couple-play. Consider the type of stimulation you enjoy most - vaginal, anal, or perhaps both. This will help narrow down your options and ensure you pick a dildo that truly enhances your pleasure.

Material Matters
The material of your dildo is crucial for both safety and enjoyment. Your three safest options are silicone, glass, and steel. In general, silicone is a top choice due to its body-safe, non-porous nature. It’s easy to clean and often feels very realistic. Glass dildos are firm, smooth, hypoallergenic, and perfect for temperature play, allowing you to heat or cool them for different sensations. Stainless steel dildos, on the other hand, are heavy, durable, and excellent for delivering precise pressure. 

Size and Shape
When it comes to size and shape, personal preference plays a big role. Consider both the insertable length and the overall length of the dildo. The girth, or thickness, can significantly affect the sensation, with thicker toys providing more fullness. The shape also matters - straight dildos are versatile, while curved ones can target the G-spot or P-spot more effectively. Some dildos come in unique shapes designed for specific types of play, so explore what excites you the most.

Texture and Design
Texture and design add another layer to your selection process. Smooth dildos are easier to insert and ideal for beginners, while textured ones can provide added stimulation through ridges, bumps, or veins. When it comes to design, some people prefer realistic dildos that mimic the look and feel of a real penis, while others might opt for abstract or artistic designs that offer a different kind of visual and tactile experience.

These four factors are the most important things to consider when choosing your new dildo. Take a look at each carefully to ensure your new toy provides you with the best possible experience.

Using Your New Dildo: Tips & Best Practices

Okay, choosing the new dildo is one thing. Another is mastering the gentle art of using it. So, before we leave you to it, here are some of our top tips and best practices for using a dildo for the best (and safe) sensations:

• Remember to lube: Never forget to lube your dildo before using it, especially when it’s anal play involved. Lube your toy all up for a smooth and safe ride before you slide it in. Just remember to use a water-based lubricant as it’s the most sex toy-friendly option. 
• Warm yourself up: Whether you’re going for your P-spot or G-spot, start yourself up before you slide your dildo down your chosen shaft. This will prepare your vagina or anus for what’s coming, making the sensation more comfortable and intense. 
• Mix things up: Sex toys work best when used in different configurations. Try to throw more sex toys into the mix when having fun with your dildo. For example, you can masturbate anally with a dildo while stimulating your vagina with a vibrator wand. That’s a must-try for any woman. 
• Invite your partner to join the fun: Although most use it for masturbation, dildos can add a magical experience to your bedroom shenanigans, whether in foreplay or during intercourse. Invite your partner to join the fun and let the magic happen.
• Keep it clean: Remember to always clean your dildo thoroughly with warm water after each use. Regular cleaning is a must for two reasons. One, it prolongs your toy’s life, ensuring it will serve you for years to come. And two, it keeps your dildo free of germs, reducing the chances of catching an infection. 

Following these five rules is crucial for the most intense sensations, as well as a comfortable and safe experience.
