The Best Dildos in Sydney — A Complete Buying Guide

The Best Dildos in Sydney 

Dildos are one of the most searched and most purchased categories in adult retail — and also one of the most confusing to navigate for first-time buyers. The options span realistic flesh-tone designs to smooth abstract shapes, rigid glass to flexible silicone, vibrating to non-vibrating, 10cm to 30cm+. Knowing what actually matters versus what's marketing noise makes the difference between a purchase that works and one that collects dust. This guide covers every major dildo category, exactly what to look for in each, our top Sydney picks across every price point, and honest answers to the questions we hear most from Sydney customers.

Types of Dildos Explained

Realistic dildos

Designed to look and feel as close to natural anatomy as possible — skin-tone materials (typically TPE or TPR), veined shafts, anatomical detail. Realistic dildos are the most commonly purchased category and suit buyers who want a natural-feeling penetrative experience. Most realistic dildos include a suction cup base for hands-free use on flat surfaces and harness compatibility. The RealRock range is one of the most consistently well-reviewed realistic dildo lines available in Sydney, covering multiple sizes and skin tones.

Smooth and abstract dildos

Smooth, often curved dildos made from body-safe silicone without realistic anatomical detail. These are popular for their comfort, ease of cleaning (non-porous silicone vs porous TPE), and versatility. A smooth, curved silicone dildo is often a better first dildo than a highly detailed realistic one for buyers who prioritise comfort and hygiene over aesthetics.

G-spot dildos

Specifically curved to angle stimulation toward the anterior (front) wall of the vagina where the G-spot is located. The curve does the positioning work, making consistent G-spot targeting more reliable than with a straight dildo. See our companion guide on how to find your G-spot for the full anatomy behind why this matters.

Vibrating dildos (dongs)

Dildos with a built-in vibrating motor — combining the fullness and penetrative sensation of a dildo with vibration. Most vibrating dildos in this category use battery or USB power for a motor in the base, providing vibration through the shaft during use. The Dr. Skin Dr. Ken is a well-reviewed vibrating dong at an accessible price point for buyers who want penetration and vibration in one non-rabbit device.

Glass and metal dildos

Non-porous, fully sterilisable, and excellent for temperature play. Borosilicate glass and stainless steel dildos can be warmed in warm water or cooled in the fridge before use, adding a temperature sensation dimension that silicone and TPE can't provide. Harder and heavier than silicone — better suited to experienced users who know they enjoy internal stimulation and want to explore the different sensation profile of rigid toys.

Double-ended dildos

Designed for simultaneous use by two people or for dual penetration for one person. A long, double-ended dildo is used by two partners simultaneously, each inserting one end. Requires coordination and positioning that some couples enjoy as part of the experience.


Choosing the Right Size

Length

The average vaginal depth when aroused is around 10–12cm, though this varies considerably and the vagina is highly elastic. Most people find a dildo in the 13–18cm range (insertable length, not total length) comfortable and satisfying. Larger lengths are available and some people specifically prefer them; going larger than your anatomy is comfortable with doesn't add pleasure and typically detracts from it.

Girth (diameter) matters more than length

Girth is what most people feel most prominently during use — the sense of fullness and stretch comes primarily from diameter rather than depth. A dildo that's comfortable in girth but somewhat shorter tends to produce a better experience than one that's longer but uncomfortably wide. For first purchases, a diameter of 3–4cm is a comfortable range for most people; sizing up from there once you know what you're comfortable with is easier than starting too large.

Starting smaller is always right

The most common first-time dildo mistake is buying something too large. A modest first purchase gives you a genuine baseline for what you respond to and what you want more of — information that should inform any larger purchase afterward. The RealRock 6" (15.2cm) is our most recommended starting size for realistic dildo first purchases in Sydney.


Material Guide — What's Body-Safe

Body-safe: always choose these

  • Medical-grade silicone — non-porous, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, easy to sterilise. The gold standard for any toy used internally. Requires water-based lubricant only.
  • Borosilicate glass — non-porous, fully sterilisable, excellent for temperature play. Hard and rigid — a different sensation profile to silicone.
  • Stainless steel — non-porous, sterilisable, heavy, excellent for temperature play. Even firmer than glass.
  • ABS plastic — non-porous, body-safe, rigid. Common in toy components and bullet-style vibrators; less common as a full dildo material.

Use with caution: realistic feel materials

  • TPE / TPR (thermoplastic elastomer/rubber) — the material most realistic dildos are made from. Produces a skin-like feel that silicone can't replicate. Porous, meaning it cannot be fully sterilised — requires thorough cleaning after every use and should not be shared between partners without a condom. Using water-based lubricant preserves the material; silicone or oil-based lubricants degrade it.

Avoid: jelly rubber, PVC, unlabelled materials

Porous, often contain phthalates, cannot be properly cleaned. If a dildo doesn't clearly state what it's made of, that's a reason not to buy it.


Vibrating vs Non-Vibrating

The choice between a vibrating and non-vibrating dildo comes down to what you're looking for from the experience:

Non-vibrating dildos

Provide purely penetrative sensation — fullness, stretch, and movement. Many people find the absence of vibration means the sensation comes entirely from the physical experience of penetration, which can be more focused and more effective at G-spot stimulation through movement than vibration provides. Non-vibrating dildos are also typically simpler to maintain, easier to clean fully (if silicone), and work well for temperature play.

Vibrating dildos

Add motorised vibration through the shaft on top of the penetrative sensation. Some people find this combination significantly more pleasurable than either vibration or penetration alone; others find the vibration distracting from the physical sensation of movement. A vibrating dildo is a different experience to a dedicated vibrator — the motor in a dildo is typically less powerful than in a purpose-built vibrator, and the primary appeal is the combination of penetration and vibration rather than vibration intensity alone.


Different Uses — Solo, Partnered, Harness

Solo use

A dildo with a suction cup base can be attached to any flat, smooth surface for hands-free solo use — a common and popular approach. Without a suction cup, manual control of the toy during use gives you direct control over depth, angle, and pace. Combining a dildo for internal penetration with a separate bullet vibrator or air pulsation toy on the clitoris produces blended stimulation that many people find significantly more intense than either alone.

Partnered use

A partner manually using a dildo on the other person allows complete control over depth, angle, and pace by someone who can see and respond to the receiving partner's reactions. This partnered manual approach is often described as more pleasurable than solo use because of the attentiveness and responsiveness a real partner brings. Glass or metal dildos work particularly well for partnered temperature play.

Harness use

Any dildo with a flared base is typically compatible with O-ring harnesses for strap-on use. For harness use, a moderately firm silicone dildo is easier to position and guide than a very soft one. See our complete strap-on guide for full technique.

Lubricant Guide for Dildos

Water-based lubricant — the universal choice

Safe with every dildo material — silicone, TPE, glass, metal, ABS. The only lubricant that's universally compatible and the safest default for any dildo use. Browse the Sex Toys Sydney lubricants range for water-based options.

Silicone-based lubricant

Longer-lasting than water-based and excellent for glass and metal dildos. Do not use with silicone dildos — silicone-based lube degrades silicone toy surfaces over time. Safe with TPE/TPR realistic dildos but can be harder to wash out of porous material.

Oil-based lubricant

Not recommended for dildo use — degrades latex (if using a condom over the toy), is difficult to wash out of porous materials, and can cause skin irritation for some people with extended internal use.


Cleaning and Care

TPE/TPR realistic dildos

Warm water and dedicated toy cleaner after every use. These materials are porous and cannot be fully sterilised, so thorough cleaning is essential. Never share between partners without a condom. Dry fully before storage — moisture encourages bacterial growth in porous materials. Store separately from silicone toys to prevent material interaction.

Silicone dildos

Non-porous — can be fully sterilised by boiling (non-motorised only), dishwasher (no soap), or dedicated toy cleaner. The most hygienic material for long-term use. Store clean and dry.

Glass and metal dildos

Boil, dishwasher, or soak in diluted bleach solution for full sterilisation. Check for any chips or surface damage before each use — any surface damage means the toy should be retired.


Frequently Asked Questions — Sydney

What size dildo should I buy for my first time?

The RealRock 6" (15.2cm) in any colour — at $29.99 it's the lowest-risk first purchase that gives you a genuine experience of what a realistic dildo feels like, at a size that's comfortable for most people who haven't used one before. Start here and size up based on what you discover you want more of.

Is a vibrating dildo better than a non-vibrating one?

Neither is objectively better — they produce different experiences. A vibrating dildo adds motorised vibration alongside the penetrative sensation. A non-vibrating dildo provides purely penetrative sensation and is typically simpler, easier to clean, and often preferred by users who want G-spot stimulation through movement rather than vibration. Try both across different sessions to discover your own preference.

What's the difference between a dildo and a vibrator?

A dildo is a toy designed for penetration, typically without a motor. A vibrator has a built-in motor and is designed primarily to vibrate, though many can also be used for penetration. A vibrating dildo (or dong) occupies the middle ground — designed for penetration with vibration added. The categories overlap considerably in practice.

Can dildos be used anally?

Only if the dildo has a flared base or retrieval cord — this is non-negotiable for anal safety. The anal canal has no natural stopping point and will draw objects inward without a base to prevent it. All dildos in this guide with a suction cup base have a flared base suitable for anal use. See our anal plug guide for full safety guidance.

How do I use the suction cup base?

Wet the suction cup base with water or lubricant, press firmly against any smooth, clean, non-porous surface (tiles, glass, some floor surfaces), and press out any trapped air while maintaining pressure. Test the hold before use by applying light pressure to the toy before committing full weight or force to the attached position.

Are RealRock dildos body-safe?

RealRock products are made from phthalate-free TPE — a safer realistic material than jelly rubber or PVC, but still porous, which means they require thorough cleaning and shouldn't be shared without a condom. They're not medical-grade silicone, but they're among the better-quality realistic dildo materials available and are the reason RealRock is one of the most trusted brands in this category.
