how to choose a double dildo

While you're goal may be to find the perfect double dildo you need to remember that there's no such thing as the perfect double dildo. Because they are inanimate toys designed to fit in between two animate bodies, double dildos require more than just brilliant design and the right material. They require humour, patience, and even a bit of love. That said, there are a few things to consider when choosing a double dildo that will increase your chances of finding the right one for you.

first timers

In most cases we recommend people start inexpensive when they are buying their first new sex toy. We have some double dildos made from inexpensive rubber (like the Size Me Up Double. The benefit of these dildos is that for about $20 you can find out if you like this kind of play. The draw back is that you need to use condoms on these dildos and they tend to be of poor design.

size and shape

Choosing the right shape and size is probably the most important part of choosing the right double dildo. Some dildos will have different sized ends (like the Nexus and Nexus Jr), which can be great if you and your partner have different tastes. All dildo dimensions are listed on our site, so if you know the size of dildo you like it's easy to find the best double dildo for you. In terms of shape, he big distinction is between straight dildos and dildos that have a curve or crescent shape. Many people prefer the curved dildos, saying they facilitate more physical contact and more options for sex positions.

material, quality, and cost

Double dildos are made from inexpensive jelly and plain rubbers, from 100% silicone, and from harder materials like acrylic. Probably the best place to start is with your budget. Better quality materials last longer, are safer to use, and much easier to keep clean. But they are also more than twice the price. If you're going with an inexpensive material we recommend you always use condoms.

harness or no harness

Another consideration is whether or not you want to be able to use your double dildo in a harness. Many of the silicone dildos are designed to be used in and out of a harness (like Fun Factory's Share or Happy Valley's Tango). These dildos are more expensive, but they're better quality, last longer, and by nature of their functionality in harnesses they are also more versatile.
