Thick Dildo

What qualifies as a 'thick' dildo?

You can measure thickness in dildos two ways: diameter (width) and circumference (girth). Product makers love to highlight length, but girth tells you more about what makes a dildo "thick".

A dildo becomes thick once it's wider than 1.5 inches in diameter - that's about 4.7 inches around. The average erect penis measures between 4.5 to 5 inches in circumference, or about 1.5 inches across. This means anything bigger falls into the "thick" category.

Here's a simple way to understand diameter and girth:

• Small: 1 inch diameter = 3.1 inches circumference
• Medium: 1.5 inches diameter = 4.7 inches circumference
• Large: 2+ inches diameter = 6.3+ inches circumference

Keep in mind that small changes in diameter lead to much bigger changes in girth. Adding just half an inch to the width adds over 1.5 inches to what you feel around.

Common diameter measurements

These size ranges pop up often when you look at thick dildos:

Extra thick dildos start at 1.75 inches across and can go up to 3 inches or more in specialty toys. Picture this: a 1-inch dildo is about as wide as a quarter, while a 2.5-inch one is close to a beer bottle's width.

New users should start with 1.5-inch or 1.75-inch diameter toys. More experienced users might enjoy 2 inches or more, but they should work up to these sizes slowly.

Length considerations for long thick dildos

Most realistic dildos match their length to their width - longer usually means thicker. But you'll find toys that focus on one dimension based on what you like best.

Long thick dildos usually run 7 to 12 inches in usable length and 5 to 7+ inches around. You don't need to use the whole length of these big toys. Most people use just 3-6 inches, no matter how long the toy is.

Deeper spots become easier to reach during vaginal play with longer toys. A curved, long thick dildo over 5 inches can hit the A-spot near the cervix.

Short thick dildos and their benefits

Short thick dildos come with some great advantages:

1. Better control - Less length means easier handling alone or with partners
2. Focused sensation - These toys emphasize fullness over depth
3. Versatility - They work especially well for anal play where depth matters less than comfort

Short thick designs usually run 5-6 inches in usable length with different girths. The Au Naturel Real Feel Thick Dildo shows this well - perfect if you prefer less length but still want that satisfying 2-inch width.

Short thick toys also make great starters for people new to bigger sizes. Their shorter length feels less intimidating while still giving that stretch many people want.

Material choice matters for all thick dildos - softer silicone can make bigger sizes more comfortable. Tapered tips also help a lot with insertion, especially for beginners.

Materials Matter: Choosing the Right Composition

Your thick dildo's material substantially affects both safety and sensation. The material you choose determines how durable it is, how to clean it, and how much pleasure it gives. Let's get into three main types of materials to help you pick the right one.

Silicone thick dildos: Pros and cons

Silicone ranks as the best choice for quality dildos, especially when you have larger sizes. Medical-grade silicone should contain at least 70% silicone, though some makers use as little as 10% and still call their products "silicone". This difference matters for several reasons:

Benefits of silicone for thick dildos:

• Completely non-porous - Bacteria can't grow on it, making it perfect to share between partners or switch between pleasure zones
• Hypoallergenic and non-toxic - No phthalates or latex, great for people with sensitivities
• Temperature responsive - Quickly matches body temperature for a natural feel
• Sterilizable - You can fully clean it by boiling for 3 minutes or running it through the dishwasher's top rack
• Remarkable durability - Nothing breaks these unless you cut them

Silicone thick dildos cost more than other materials because small, specialist manufacturers make them. On top of that, you should never use silicone-based lubes with them as this damages the surface over time.

Glass and metal options for temperature play

Glass and metal thick dildos give you firm pressure and temperature play options that other materials can't match.

Most glass dildos come from borosilicate glass—the same stuff used in lab equipment—making them super strong despite looking delicate. These toys might break if dropped onto hard surfaces from height, but they break into big pieces rather than dangerous shards.

Temperature play becomes a key feature with these materials:

• Warm water gives heating effects
• Cold water or refrigerator (never freezer) creates cooling sensations
• Temperature changes add new dimensions to your pleasure

Glass and metal thick dildos offer exceptional smoothness and firmness. They give steady pressure that silicone can't match, which works great for hitting specific pleasure spots. These materials also work with any type of lube, unlike silicone.

TPE and rubber varieties

TPE and TPR give you realistic-feeling thick dildos at lower prices. These materials mix plastic and rubber properties to create soft, stretchy toys.

Important considerations with TPE/TPR thick dildos:

The biggest problem with TPE/TPR is tiny holes in the material where bacteria can hide from cleaners. New TPE toys might be safe at first, but you can't disinfect them completely after use.

In spite of that, TPE feels more like human skin than silicone does. Makers can adjust its firmness, density, and flexibility.

When you have TPE thick dildos, check often for:

• Tears or cracks
• Strange smells
• Stains or discoloration
• Black spots (might be mold)
• Shape changes

TPE dildos work best with water-based lubes. Replace them when they start showing wear, usually after a few months of regular use.

Your choice between silicone, glass/metal, or TPE depends on what matters most to you—body safety with silicone, unique feelings with glass/metal, or skin-like feel with TPE. If you keep taking thick dildos or share with partners, non-porous silicone gives you the best value long-term despite higher upfront costs.

Realistic vs. Fantasy: Styles of Thick Dildos

The style of your thick dildo shapes your experience as much as its size and materials. Today's market has everything you need - from ultra-realistic designs to wild creations that go beyond normal anatomy.

Realistic thick dildos with anatomical details

Lifelike thick dildos now come with amazing anatomical details. These toys copy real veins, skin texture, and natural curves to give you an authentic feel.

Dual-density technology leads the way in realistic design. These products combine a firm inner core with a soft outer layer that feels like skin. This is a big deal as it means that your brain perceives both "skin" and "erect feel" at once. Many users call this "the most realistic dildo feeling ever made".

The best realistic thick dildos include subtle features. The retracted skin below the head creates a "popping ridge" sensation when you thrust. Some brands use special formulas like "Bareskin" that match human anatomy's firmness and texture.

Fantasy designs with unique textures

Fantasy thick dildos push creative boundaries and give you experiences regular designs can't match. These toys stand out with:

• Unique textures like tentacles with suction cups and bumps
• Creature-inspired shapes such as dragons with textured "scales"
• Bulging middles and tapered tips that stretch gradually
• Special knots and ridges that feel distinctive

Fantasy thick dildos break free from anatomical rules. They focus on specific sensations through creative shapes. One retailer puts it this way: "Many fantasy toy shapes cannot be found on human phalluses at all. These may be unusually thick or super long, may be exceptionally bulbous or have knots in some parts".

These designs work great for users who want larger sizes. Many have tapered shapes that slowly increase in width—perfect to train your body for substantial girth.

Extra thick dildos with specialized shapes

Experienced users looking for maximum fullness can find specialized extra thick dildos that go beyond typical proportions. Smart shaping makes these imposing toys easier to insert.

Some extra thick options measure over 3.5 inches in diameter. This creates intense stretching sensations for prepared users. People often say that size can trick you—what looks manageable can feel much more challenging when you try it.

Advanced designs use gradual insertion profiles that let you stretch progressively. Others have strategic curves that make larger sizes more comfortable for specific play styles.

Smart manufacturers make their popular extra thick shapes in multiple sizes. This lets you start small and work up to larger versions as you gain experience.

Essential Features to Consider

The perfect thick dildo needs more than just the right size, material, and style. These extra features can take your experience from good to amazing.

Suction cup bases for hands-free play

A suction cup base lets you stick your thick dildo to smooth surfaces like shower walls, floors, mirrors, or furniture. You can enjoy hands-free fun in different positions without needing help.

The best part is you stay in control. You choose the angle, pressure, and depth while moving freely. This really helps with thick dildos because you can:

• Move at your own speed
• Try different positions easily
• Use your hands for other fun stuff

Look for strong suction that stays put even during intense play. Many people say thick suction cup dildos with big bases stick the best.

Vibration capabilities

Vibrations add extra sensation to the fullness you get from thick dildos. User surveys show that 66% of people call vibration "absolutely significant" when using girthy toys.

Most vibrating thick dildos come with different patterns and speeds to match your priorities. Some fancy models even have remote controls or thrusting features that move on their own.

Vibrations can help relax your body and make it easier to use thicker toys. But if you find vibrations distracting, there are plenty of non-vibrating options too.

Flexibility and firmness options

A thick dildo's firmness changes how it feels—soft ones squish and bend, while firm ones keep their shape. Most makers offer three main types:

• Soft (squishier and more giving)
• Medium (good mix of flex and stability)
• Firm (stays shaped during use)

Bigger toys naturally feel firmer because of their size, whatever material they're made from. That's why many experienced users suggest softer materials for extra thick dildos but firmer ones for smaller sizes.

Harness compatibility

Many thick dildos work with harnesses, which makes partner play more fun. These usually have either:

• O-ring compatibility (works with adjustable harnesses)
• Special systems like Vac-U-Lock attachments

These toys paired with the right harness create exciting partner experiences. The wide bases needed for harness use also make these thick dildos safer overall.

Some harness-ready models include vibrations that feel good for both partners at once, which creates a shared experience.

Finding the Right Fit for Your Experience Level

Your experience level determines which thick dildo will bring pleasure instead of discomfort. The right dimensions and gradual advancement will keep you safe and satisfied throughout your exploration.

Beginner-friendly thick options

New users need manageable sizes that give gentle stretching feelings without being too much. Here's what works best for beginners who want to try thicker options:

• Start with slender dildos around 1-1.5 inches in diameter
• Pick insertable lengths between 4-6 inches that you can control better
• Look for tapered tips that make insertion easier

Some designs come with gradual tapers that work well even if you're new to larger toys. This lets you work your way up at your own pace. New users do better with toys that have 75% softness, as these feel gentler than smaller, firmer options.

Intermediate sizing recommendations

After getting comfortable with starter thick dildos, users usually move up to bigger options:

• Go for medium sizes between 1.5-1.75 inches in diameter
• Try insertable lengths of 6-8 inches for more sensation
• Look for about a .25-inch diameter increase when going up in size

Many people can handle larger sizes after months of practice. Training toys help intermediate users size up effectively. Your body will tell you when you're ready - some users who thought certain sizes were impossible found success after several days of good stretching.

Advanced options for experienced users

Experienced users looking for maximum fullness can try much larger sizes:

• Advanced users might enjoy diameters up to 2 inches or greater
• Lengths typically range from 7-9 inches
• XXXL or monster sizes offer intense stretching sensations

These big toys are "obviously for the advanced anal lover" and create extraordinary fullness. Even experienced users need some prep time before using very thick toys.

Above all, your safety comes first, whatever your experience level. Choose toys with proper bases, use plenty of lube, and listen to your body's signals during play. Your comfort should guide your progression - not what others say about the sizes you "should" use.

Several factors matter when you pick the right thick dildo. Your experience level guides your choice - newcomers should stick to 1-1.5 inch diameters. Advanced users might go beyond 2 inches. Material selection is a vital aspect, and silicone stands out as the safest and most durable choice, though it costs more.

Thick dildos offer countless styles that match your priorities. You can choose between realistic anatomical details or unique fantasy designs. Features like suction cups, vibration capabilities, and different firmness levels can boost your experience substantially.

Note that size progression needs to happen at your own pace and comfort level. Pay attention to your body's signals and take your time with larger sizes. The perfect thick dildo that matches your desires and comfort awaits - just do proper research, prepare well, and stay patient.
