Dildo’s and Dildon’ts: Shopping For Realistic Dildos

Arvo Otterman takes a look at some of the best places to shop for dildos online.

Thanks to the introduction of new materials and manufacturing methods, realistic silicone dildos have undergone a significant increase in quality during the past decade. If you think dildos are boring, you might just change your mind once you’ve had a chance to see and touch some of the latest  models. The dual-layer silicone dildos that are now on the market are more convincing than ever before. This month we’ll check out some of the best silicone dildos available, with an emphasis on dual-layered models that best replicate the real thing.

Rentman Dildo
$130-$229 From Mr Hankeys Toys

Mr Hankeys offers some of the world’s finest professional grade silicone toys. They stock a wide selection of original designs, all made with top of the line materials and lots of attention to detail. They pulled out all the stops for the Rentman series, and some have called it the most realistic looking dildo you can buy. It was molded from a real “Rentman” and you can see photos of him on the product webpage. The Rentman model is available in two firmness options (Medium Firm and 75% Soft), three natural skin tones (Natural Tan, Deep Brown, and Black), with or without a Vac-U-Hole attachment point, and in four sizes (Small, Medium, LG/XL, and XXXL.)The original model has 7.5” of insertable length and a middle circumference of 6.12“. The XXXL size has 12.50” of insertable length and a middle circumference of 11”.  Be careful when ordering, because the larger models are truly enormous.

Colby Keller Dildo
$60 From Fleshjack

If you’re looking for a high quality, realistic porn star dildo, Fleshjack carries some excellent options. You’ll find dildos available for all past and present Fleshjack spokesmodels including Boomer Banks, Brent Corrigan, Brent Everett, Milan Cristopher, Carter Dane, Johnny Rapid, Jake Bass,  Kevin Warhol. Liam Riley, Levi Carter, Pierre Fitch, Trenton Ducati, Sean Zevran, and more. The Colby Keller model offers the perfect size with just the right amount of length and girth (5.75″ insertable length and 6” circumference at base of shaft.) It’s made from platinum cured silicone and the full length from base to tip is  7.5″.

Lifelike Double-Layered Dildo
$30 From HotStuff4Guys

Hot Stuff 4 Guys specializes in high quality knockoffs of popular items from leading brands, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the toys were made by the exact same manufacturers who make the name brand items. The quality is very good and you’ll pay about half the price. The site might appear a bit dodgy at first glance, but it’s a legit business. The only caveat is that the products ship from China, so some orders arrive quickly and others take 3-4 weeks due to unpredictable shipping and customs delays. But once your order arrives, you’ll be impressed with  the quality and value. The 7” Double Layered Dildo is perfect for those seeking a dildo that looks and feels like a normal, everyday cock. It’s made of pliable, odorless, and phthalate-free liquid silicone. It features detailed veining, has a nice heft, and includes a strong suction cup base. Waterproof and easy to clean, it features a dual-layer design that feels just like the real thing.

Player Dual Layer Black Dildo
$74 From Chi Chi LaRue’s

Rascal makes some of the industry’s most realistic dildos, and Chi Chi LaRue’s is where you’ll find them. This model is the store’s most popular size. It’s not too big and not too small. It’s made from medical-grade, dual layer, 100% soft touch silicone, using the patented DUOtouch design that offers the most realistic feel possible. With the dual layers, you get a natural feel that was previously only possible with TPE, a material that isn’t as durable or as sanitary as silicone. The Player is compatible with sensitive skin, features a suction cup base, and is also harness compatible. It has an insertable length of 6.5” and a girth of 5”.

Avatar Dildo
$118 From Oxballs

Oxballs creates some of the most unusual and innovative sex toys available, and their dildos are totally unique. The sci-fi themed Avatar dildo is available in Tar Black and Metallic Blue and it’s made from PURE Platinum Cure Silicone. This durable material feels great and won’t crack or pit. It’s built to last. Soft to the touch, this high quality material holds heat well and quickly warms up to match your body’s temperature. It’s safe with water-based, oil-based, and hybrid water/silicone lubes. It features 10.5” of usable length and a usable circumference that ranges from 3”-8”.

Bandit Silicone Dildo
$104 from Male Stockroom

This is one of the most realistic dildos that the Male Stockroom carries. It’s made with VixSkin, a material that combines a solid inner core with a more pliable exterior layer of soft silicone. Like any silicone dildo, it’s body-safe and it’s also compatible with harnesses. The Bandit is 7” in length and 4.5” in circumference. To clean it, you simply wash it with soap and warm water and/or sterilize it by boiling it for three minutes.
