Realistic Dildos

What is a realistic dildo?

A realistic dildo is sculpted like a penis: a defined head, veins along the shaft, often balls, usually in silicone (one powered toy here is TPE). Most have no motor: you ride it, hold it or wear it strapped on. A few thrust, gyrate, warm or vibrate. Here: dual-density and firm silicone dildos, thrusting ones, two that heat themselves and a double-ender.

What makes a dildo realistic?

Sculpting: a defined head and raised veins (the Mustang, the Johnny, the Auto Pounder), sometimes balls too (the Johnny, the King Cock Plus 6.5 Inch). Build: a dual-density dildo wraps a firm core in softer silicone, like the Colours and the Mustang. Warmth and motion: the Mustang warms to and holds body heat, the King Cock Plus 6.5 Inch heats itself, and the powered dildos thrust, gyrate or vibrate.

Types of realistic dildos

Dual-density realistic dildos

The Colours Dual Density 8 Inch has about 7 inches insertable and a strong suction cup underneath. The VixSkin Mustang is the slim one: 1.6 inches at its widest, 6.5 insertable, with a realistic head and raised veins, plus a suction cup and a flat base. The Randy is the wide one: over 2 inches across, about 6 inches long, built for stretch, with a suction cup. More VixSkin dildos.

Firm realistic dildos

The VixSkin Johnny is firm: a rounded head with a distinct ridge, a slightly curved, veined shaft, a flat base that stands on its own, and realistic testicles. Its ridge and curve angle toward the G-spot (or prostate). Dr. Julian goes bigger, 9 inches long, 2 wide and 7.5 insertable, with a shaft that bends and holds its pose, and a strong suction cup. More for that spot: prostate massagers.

Remote-controlled realistic thrusting dildos

Dr. Grey thrusts, gyrates and vibrates through 50 settings (5 speeds, 10 patterns each), by buttons or an included remote, at a slim 1.5 inches wide, on a harness-ready suction-cup base. Dr. Murphy has the same motions and settings at 1.75 inches wide, a suction-cup base and a remote with up to 16 feet of range, and it's made for G-spot sessions and P-spot sessions. More remote control vibrators.

Handle-driven auto-thrusting dildos

The Master Series 8X Auto Pounder is a dildo that thrusts and vibrates on its own, on a grippy handle: a 1-inch stroke, 3 thrusting speeds and 8 vibration modes, all from the handle controls. Its veined silicone shaft has a defined head, 7.5 inches insertable and 1.65 at its widest, on an ABS base, and it's IPX5: rinse, don't soak. Hands-free? See sex machines.

Warming realistic dildos

The King Cock Plus 6.5 Inch Dong warms itself to body temperature within minutes, drives a 1-inch piston thrust at your pace and runs 7 tip vibration functions from one button, with balls and 5.5 inches insertable. The longer King Cock Plus does the same three things at 6.5 inches insertable and 11.7 inches in total, in TPE and ABS. More vibrators.

Suction-cup and harness-ready dildos

Suction cups, for hands-free riding: the Colours, Dr. Julian, both Dr. Skin thrusters, the Mustang and the short, wide VixSkin one. Harness-ready, for a realistic strap-on dildo: all of those but the Colours, plus the Johnny and the Peacemaker. It's a 13-inch double-ender with a realistic end (6.5 inches insertable, about 1.9 inches wide) and a smooth, hooked end (5.25 inches by 1.5). Shop strap-on harnesses.

How to choose a realistic dildo

• Width first. Dr. Grey 1.5 inches, the Mustang 1.6, the 16-foot-remote thruster 1.75, Dr. Julian 2, the short, wide one over 2.
• Insertable length. The King Cock Plus 6.5 Inch and Dr. Grey 5.5 inches, the Mustang and the Johnny 6.5, the Colours about 7, Dr. Julian and the Auto Pounder 7.5.
• Soft or firm. Dual-density gives on the surface; the Johnny is firm.
• Powered or plain. The Dr. Skin thrusters, the Auto Pounder and both King Cock Plus dongs move for you; the rest are plain silicone.
• Hands-free or harness. Six dildos on this page have suction cups and seven fit a harness.
• Material. Silicone is non-porous; the TPE dong is porous, so wash it thoroughly, dry it fully and don't share it unwashed.

How to use a realistic dildo

1. Wash it first, and after every session.
2. Let it warm: the Mustang holds body heat, the King Cock Plus 6.5 Inch heats itself.
3. Lots of water-based lube, and more whenever it catches.
4. Start slow and shallow (powered toys on low) and add depth as you relax; stop at any pain.
5. Suction cup? Press it onto a clean, flat, dry surface, test the hold, then ease down slowly.
6. Harness? Seat the base snugly in the O-ring, settle on a stop word first, and honor it instantly.

Cleaning, care and safety

• Once you're done, soap it up in warm water or use toy cleaner, let it dry fully and store it apart from other soft toys.
• Motors never go under water. IPX5 Auto Pounder: rinse, never soak. Splashproof Dr. Skin thrusters: wipe or rinse. King Cock Plus dongs: warm water and antibacterial toy cleaner. Charge all five over USB once dry.
• Lube: water-based, which every toy here takes; silicone lube can harm silicone.
• Anal use: the Mustang and the Johnny only (the two made for vaginal or anal use), in a harness or holding the base firmly; wash it before any other use.
• Pain, bleeding or numbness that sticks around? Stop, and see your doctor.

Realistic dildo FAQ

What is the most realistic dildo?

There's no single answer: three things make a dildo realistic. Sculpting: a defined head, raised veins, balls. Build: a dual-density shaft like the Colours. Warmth or motion: the Mustang holds body heat, the King Cock Plus 6.5 Inch heats up and thrusts.

What is a dual-density dildo?

Two layers of silicone in one shaft: a firm core for shape and support, and a softer outer layer that gives under pressure. Here, that's the Colours Dual Density 8 Inch, the VixSkin Mustang and the short, wide VixSkin dildo.

How do you use a realistic dildo?

Coat the toy and yourself in water-based lube, ease the head in slowly and go deeper as your body relaxes. Angle the tip upward for the G-spot. Hands free? Use the suction cup or a harness.

How do you use and ride a suction-cup dildo?

Press the base onto a smooth, clean, flat, dry surface: tile, a shower wall or a chair seat. Twist as you push so the air escapes, then tug to test the hold. Lube up, lower yourself slowly and set your own rhythm.

How do you clean a silicone dildo?

A plain realistic silicone dildo needs warm water and a drop of mild soap after every use, or a toy cleaner; rinse, then dry it fully. Powered ones: rinse or wipe as above, and never submerge a motor.

What lube should you use with a silicone dildo?

Water-based: it suits every toy material, and the Mustang and the Johnny call for water-based only. Silicone-based lube can degrade silicone (the Auto Pounder's care note says to avoid it), so keep it off these toys or patch-test a spot on the base first. Browse lube.

Can you use a realistic dildo anally?

Only a dildo made for it, with a flared base, handle or harness. The Mustang and the Johnny are made for vaginal or anal use; their bases are flat, not flared, so strap on a harness or keep a firm grip on the base. Go slowly with lots of lube, and wash it before vaginal use. More anal toys.

What size realistic dildo should you start with?

A small realistic dildo, slim before long: Dr. Grey at 1.5 inches wide with 5.5 insertable, then the Mustang at 1.6 and 6.5. Save the big, thick ones, Dr. Julian (2 inches) and the short, wide one (over 2), for later, and size up in width slowly.
