Non-Realistic Dildos

What are non-realistic dildos?

A non-realistic dildo is any insertable toy that is not trying to look like a penis. Instead of veins and a defined head you get smooth tapers, ribs, swirls, beads and gentle curves, usually in a colour that looks more like a design object than a body part. Most of the collection is silicone, including softer liquid silicone from BMS Factory and CalExotics First Time, with a handful of jelly pieces from Crystal Jellies and clear glitter and heart-filled novelties for people who want something playful. Compared with realistic dildos, the shapes are more deliberate and the sizes run smaller on average.

Types of non-realistic dildos

Smooth and curved G-spot dildos

Shades, Mixers and Romp make slim, smooth shafts with a curve aimed at the G-spot or prostate, most with a suction cup so you can use them hands-free. See more in G-spot dildos.

Ribbed, twisted and beaded textures

Master Series and Simply Sweet ribbed dildos, the Colours Stacked and Twist, the Ouch! beaded G-spot dildo and the bendable Twisted Love dong add texture you can feel on every stroke.

Vibrating and remote-controlled dildos

Gender X, Simply Sweet, Colours and the Polynesian Pleasure Idols range put a rechargeable motor in a non-realistic shape, usually with a remote so a partner can run the patterns. Some pair the shaft with a clitoral stimulator or a second motor. Browse the rest in vibrating dildos.

Thrusting and app-controlled dildos

The Lovense Gravity, Honey Play Box Colter and Luis, Naked Addiction's rotating and thrusting dildo and the Evolved In Thrust We Trust move on their own, and several can be run from a phone. Compare them with other thrusting dildos.

Double dildos, glow and glitter

Silicone Studs Bend and Hold double dildos can be shaped to suit two people, Addiction and Glow Dicks glow in the dark, and the Glittergasm clear swirl dildo sparkles. Simply Sweet and Hott Products add dessert-themed shapes and rainbow colours.

How to choose a non-realistic dildo

With no anatomy to copy, shape and texture are the whole story, so read the dimensions and look at the profile closely.

• Size: check insertable length and the widest diameter; ribs and beads add to the effective width. Start slimmer than you think.
• Texture: smooth for easy insertion and simple cleaning, ribbed or beaded for more sensation on the way in and out.
• Curve: a curved shaft presses on the G-spot or prostate; a straight one is more versatile across positions.
• Base: a suction cup gives hands-free use and fits most harness O-rings; a wide flared base is essential if the toy will ever be used anally.
• Power: decide whether you want a quiet manual toy or vibration, thrusting or app control before paying for a motor.

How to use and care for non-realistic dildos

Warm the toy under running water, apply plenty of water-based lubricant and go slowly. Silicone-based lube can damage silicone toys, so stick to water-based unless the maker says otherwise.

• Wash before and after every use with warm water and a toy cleaner, working into ribs, beads and the rim of the suction cup.
• Keep motorised models out of water beyond what the maker allows and dry charging ports before plugging in.
• Jelly and other soft blends are porous; keep them to one person and store them apart from silicone toys so the materials do not react.
• Check for nicks or tears and retire a toy that is damaged.

Non-realistic dildos for beginners, couples and advanced play

Beginners usually do well with a slim, smooth suction cup dildo from Shades, Romp or CalExotics First Time. Couples often go for a remote-controlled vibrating model or a bendable double dildo. If you want to keep exploring shapes, the fantasy dildos collection takes the non-realistic idea much further, with creatures and tentacles instead of swirls and ribs.
