Choosing The Size

It is about time that we admitted it—size does matter! Although the average person is able to accommodate dildos of many shapes and sizes, people do have a preference for one size or another. Some women and men prefer small, slim dildos whereas others prefer using big, thick dildoes for vaginal or anal masturbation. The real question is—which size dildo is best for you?

Stores or online vendors such as EdenFantasys.com, stock a wide range of dildo sizes, and many first-time dildo buyers are understandably intimidated by the abundance of dildo sizes, shapes and textures. Customers express a wide variety of reactions to the selection of dildo sizes available from wondering which size is average, to whether a dildo is too large or even too small. Our answer? There is no average, too big, too small: the essential is that you choose the dildo that is right for you, because even if you ask a salesclerk, "Which size should I get?" there is simply no way anybody else can select the right dildo size for you.

When you make your decision regarding dildo size, keep a few guidelines in mind. Obviously, dildo diameter is of greater concern that length, as you can control the depth of dildo insertion, but there is adjustment for an uncomfortable width. If you are currently enjoying penetration from someone's fingers or penis or another object like a candle, a hairbrush handle, or a cucumber, you may want to select a dildo that approximates the measurements of an object with which you are already familiar. Or you may want to seize this opportunity to size up or down with your dildo. You can always look into using a butt plug if you want a very slim dildo as butt plugs often come in slimmer sizes than dildos.

According to GoodVibrations.com: "one easy (and affordable) way to take your measurements is with vegetables. Head for the nearest produce stand and select some carrots, zucchinis, and cucumbers. Wash them well, dress them in condoms, and try them on for size. When you've found a vegetable that suits your taste, cut it in half and measure its diameter {remember, diameter is the distance across, not around a circle). The same considerations apply if you're selecting a dildo for anal penetration. Take the time to research your preferences before you make your purchase-you'll be glad you did."
