How to Choose a Dildo: A Beginner’s Guide to Size, Material, and Style by Diose

Why Choosing the Right Dildo Matters

If you're buying your firstdildo, you're not alone. With so many options on the market—different sizes, shapes, materials, and features—it can feel overwhelming. The right choice depends on your goals, body, and preferences.

At Diose, a leadingadult toy manufacturer, we’ve helped thousands of users and brands design and produce high-quality dildos. Whether you're a beginner, exploring new sensations, or building your product line, this guide is your starting point.

Step 1: Know Your Purpose

Ask yourself:

  • Is this for solo play, couples use, or photography/modeling?

  • Are you looking for a beginner-friendly size or something advanced?

  • Do you prefer internal stimulation, external teasing, or dual use?

Your answers will shape the material, size, and shape recommendations.

Step 2: Choose the Right Size

For beginners, smaller sizes (4–5 inches insertable) are typically more comfortable. Consider:

  • Length– How deep you want penetration to go.

  • Girth– Measured around the widest part. Beginners may prefer <4.5 inches circumference.

  • Base type– Flared bases are great for use with harnesses or safe anal play.

Diose produces a wide size range from compact dildos to full-sized realistic models.

Step 3: Select the Material

The two most common body-safe materials are:

  • Medical-grade silicone

    • Soft, flexible, non-porous

    • Easy to clean and sterilize

    • Great for sensitive users

  • TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer)

    • Ultra-soft, lifelike texture

    • Slightly more porous (requires careful cleaning)

    • Often more affordable

Avoid rubber, jelly, or plastic options without clear safety certifications.

Diose only manufactures dildos using CE-certified, phthalate-free silicone and TPE, ensuring comfort and long-term safety.

Step 4: Decide on Style and Features

Here are some common categories to consider:

  • Realistic dildos– With veins, head shape, and skin tones

  • Textured or curved dildos– For targeted stimulation (like G-spot or P-spot)

  • Dual-ended– Great for shared or varied play

  • Suction base– For hands-free use in showers or on flat surfaces

  • Glow-in-the-dark or color-shifting– For fun or visual novelty

Diose supports full customization in shape, color, and texture—ideal for buyers wanting something truly personal or exclusive.

Step 5: Consider Packaging and Storage

A good dildo should come with:

  • Discreet, sealed packaging

  • Storage pouch or caseto keep it clean

  • Instructions or care guide

If you’re sourcing for resale or branding, Diose also offersprivate label packaging, eco-friendly boxes, and multilingual manuals.

Step 6: Cleaning and Maintenance

Silicone dildos can be cleaned with warm water and soap, or sterilized by boiling for 3–5 minutes. TPE dildos should be cleaned gently and dried thoroughly, then stored with powder to preserve softness.

Never share porous toys without a condom, and avoid using silicone-based lube with silicone toys.
