Why Go Small
A small dildo is the easiest way to start. It's less intimidating, easier to control and great for warming up before a bigger toy. Plenty of people never size up at all, because a smaller toy aimed at the right spot can feel better than a big one. They're also handy for anal play and easy to tuck away.
Styles You'll Find Here
- Realistic minis with balls, like the Dr. Skin 5.5 inch and King Cock 5 inch
- Smooth silicone, like the Tantus Silk Small
- Curved G-spot and P-spot toys, like the Tantus Acute
- Bright jelly and glow minis
- Suction cup dildos for hands-free play
Materials
You'll find silicone, dual density and softer realistic blends here, plus a few jelly toys. Silicone is the easiest to keep clean and lasts the longest. The cheaper minis are often a softer blend, so check the material on each listing.
Picking the Right Size
For a first toy, 4 to 5 inches long and about 1 to 1.25 inches wide is a comfortable start. For anal, go small and make sure it has a flared or suction cup base so it can't slip in too far. Girth makes more difference than length, so check both.
Suction Cups and Harnesses
Lots of these have a suction cup, so you can stick them to the shower wall or a chair. A small dildo with a flared base is also a nice first pick for strap-on play.
Care Tips
Wash your toy with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner before and after every use. Use water-based lube with silicone toys, since silicone lube can damage them over time. Let it dry fully and store it in its own pouch, away from direct sunlight.
