Size is important in a lot of situations, especially dildo sizes. The right curves, distinct shapes and fancy features all become irrelevant without your dildo measuring up to the right size. Not to worry, you won’t have to get a lot of dildos to figure out the one that would fit you like a glove, after all, there is a perfect science when discovering these things and we have outlined them for you in this clever guide.
In this guide, we will show you how to measure and select the size of your perfect dildo, and the different sizes that would perform specific wonders while exploring your wildest sexual fantasies.
Choosing the right dildo size for your needs
Dildos are typically sized in two varying ways: circumference and length (also known as the girth) and length and diameter (also commonly known as the width). Make sure that when you want to purchase a dildo for the first time, you do not confuse the diameter for the circumference or you might be in for a rude shock when your sex toy is delivered. To make things clear, the circumference is the size measured around the dildo, while the diameter is the distance across the dildo from its widest point.
When identifying the total length of your dildo, it is wise to take into consideration that it being bigger might not always be the ideal option for you. For example, if your previous lover who had a 7-inch penis was more than you could handle, then it makes absolutely no sense for you to be purchasing a big 9-inch realistic dildo, with a suction cup base and realistic balls, especially when you know you won’t be able to get everything inside you. It would be more reasonable to consider getting a smaller dildo that comes with a suction cup base and can be fully utilised as intended. Even better, it will fit into you perfectly and comfortably without wasting the extra inches left.
However, if you are able to take in 7 inches without pain or shedding a tear then you might want to consider trying something bigger in size like an 8 or 9-inch dildo so you can maximize the effectiveness of your new toy. There is nothing more disappointing than purchasing a dildo by impulse and then finding out that it is unable to hit certain pleasure spots or fill you up.
One more thing you should consider when looking at the length of your preferred dildo is how the dildo is designed. For example, just because the total length of a dildo is 11 inches long, does not mean that the insertable length will be the complete 11-inches.
Some realistic dildos feature realistic balls designed to stimulate your perineum while you ride them. So while the total length is 11-inches long, since you cannot insert the balls, you may be left with only an insertable length of 9-inches.
Another element that needs to be considered is how “fat” or “huge” you want your dildo to be. If you are unsure about the width of the dildo you are going to need, you can make use of your finger(s) as a measuring guide. The average male finger is about 25mm or 3/4 inch in diameter. Being able to insert two fingers inside you without any discomfort would be the equivalent of a 50mm or 1.5-inch diameter dildo.
If you are only in need of a dildo that comfortably slides in, then this diameter would be a good size for you to start with. However, since there are a lot of ladies out there who are in search of something with more girth, then they will have to decide if they want to feel a bit of stretch, or a whole lot of stretch with their new dildo.
If two fingers easily slip in, but you want something that causes a little more stretch, then you might have to consider getting a dildo with a diameter range of 2 to 2.5 inches. If you’re a pro when it comes to size and you’re in search of a dildo that will add even more stretch, then it is best to start looking in the diameter range of 3-inches or much larger dildos. Just make sure you do not go above your limit or get a dildo you cannot handle. Because while some stretching can be pleasurable, the tearing can be a nightmare.
One more option that needs to be taken into consideration, is the purchase of a tapered dildo. Tapered dildos typically start at a narrow range of about 1-inch to 1.5-inch at the tip and gradually become wider as you further get down the shaft. These kinds of dildos are great for people who are into anal play and want an easy entry but more stretch. It helps people who love anal play to gradually train their ass to take a fatter shaft.
Why Size Matters
Yes, it is true that the size of a penis does not really matter when it comes to love-making, but the size of a dildo actually does. A larger dildo might cause you more harm than the desired pleasure you seek. Depending on the purpose of your dildo, a smaller one might be just what is best for you. As you ponder over the various dildos out there and their distinct features, it is also important that you factor the size into your considerations.
How To Understand The Real Size Of A Dildo
To find out the ideal size of a dildo that you’ll like, look for the toy’s measurements on its product page. It is advisable to first take a look at the insertable length and diameter. Those are the measurements that you will be putting into you. To better help you understand how big a dildo appears, Wicked Sex Toys provides you with a descriptive image and accurate size measurements that will help you make an informed decision.
How to Measure Yourself for Dildos
To properly measure yourself to find out what your ideal size of dildo should be, you will need to make use of a dildo or vibrator, or a similar item that is just as long with a smooth surface. It should also have a rounded shape on its end. When using these item choices, make sure they have been cleaned before use. You will also need to get a soft tape measure.
Sexual arousal helps your vagina take more in, so it is best to lie on your back on the bed or on a soft surface to stimulate yourself. Once you are aroused, start inserting the item you wish to use as a measuring guide into your vagina. Do not stop until it gets to the furthest point, then mark where that is on the measuring item. Once completed, remove the time and measure its distance from the tip to where the marking is. This is the length you can accommodate.
To find out your ideal girth range, slide in your fingers or ask your partner to slide his fingers into your vagina and continue to insert more fingers until you reach the limit you can enjoy comfortably. When you fill the limit that has been reached, use a measuring tape around the finger(s) to find the girth or circumference that your vagina can take.
How to Compare Different Dildos in Width?
Typically, the longer a dildo is, the thicker or fatter it is going to be. This is as a result of most realistic dildos using proportionate dimensions. This makes measuring the width quite straightforward. As we’ve established earlier, the width of a dildo is the distance across the widest part of the dildo. Below are some data to help you make a comparison between the various dildo widths, their equivalent girth/circumference, and the average male penis size.
- 1 inch (width) = 3 to 3.5 inches (estimated girth)
- 1.25 inches (width) = 3.75 to 4 inches (estimated girth)
- 1.5 inches (width) = 4.5 to 4.75 inches (estimated girth and also the size for the average erect penis)
- 1.75 inches (width) = 5 to 5.5 inches (estimated girth)
- 2 inches (width) = 5.5 to 6.75 inches (estimated girth).
- 2.5 inches (width) = 7 to 7.75 inches (estimated girth)
- 3 inches (width) = 8 to 8.5 inches (estimated girth)
The Perfect Dildo Size For G-spot Stimulation
Despite the popular belief that only thick dildos can deliver the needed amount of pressure on your G-spot, many women find it easier to navigate a dildo to the right pleasure spot when its shaft is not only curved but also slim.
This is the reason why it is best for those who need a dildo for G-spot stimulation to get slightly curved dildos that have big heads. These features will deliver the pressure you need that is sure to satisfy your erotic needs and deliver intense G-spot orgasms all night long.
The Ideal Length Of A Dildo For A-spot Stimulation
Snuggled deep within the vagina and next to the cervix is the nerve-rich A-spot. Although the stimulation of the A-spot is certain to deliver intense mind-numbing orgasms, it is actually hard to reach with the fingers, penis, or most of the sex toys. To conveniently hit this zone, you will need to place your bet on a curved and super-long dildo that is over 5 inches in length. This length will enable it to push directly into the sweet spot.
Start gently and carefully while allowing your muscles to stretch and adapt, this will in turn lead to the most insane orgasmic experience. Do not thrust the dildo way too deep at the start to avoid tears and a painful experience.
Sizing for Anal Dildos
As opposed to measuring yourself for a regular dildo, It is a totally different scenario when measuring yourself for the ideal size of what your anal dildo should be. To get the measurement right, it is advisable to seek help from a partner to help you relax and make the process smooth. The basic point of anal stimulation is to experience the stretching rather than the length, and this comes with the girth.
To measure your butt’s elasticity, you need to get on all fours like the doggy position, spread your legs and relax. Your partner should then apply a generous amount of lube to your anus as well as their fingers. Once you are completely relaxed, your partner then begins by inserting a finger, then after some time, slips in the second finger. This process is then continued with more fingers until you have discovered your limit. Once this is done, your partner then withdraws their fingers for you to apply a soft tape measure around them for measurement. The measurement recorded is considered the girth or circumference.
Typically, anal dildos are made available in a diameter range (width) a little below 1 inch and range as far as almost 2 inches in width. The length on the other hand may vary from around 5 inches to 12 inches or above. Also, black dildos are known to be larger in size than regular dildos to give the impression of monstrous male cocks. Black dildos come in different sizes and can begin at about 5 inches in length to roughly 8 inches or above. The girth/circumference usually ranges between 4 to 5 inches.
Ideal Dildo Size To Get For Stretching
What better way is there to feel that tantalizing and mouth-watering pressure on all your pleasure spots than to get a dildo that will not only fill you to the limit but will also stretch those muscles. This sensation is sure to keep you wet. Willing to explore these sensations? Then you should turn your attention to thicker dildos. However, note that for your utmost safety, it is advisable to use dildos with softer materials like TPR and silicone, to avoid the risk of stretching beyond your limit and causing a painful tear.
