Big, Large, & Thick Dildo Toys: An Insider’s Guide to Giant Dildos

5. Glass Dildos

Glass dildos are uniquely cold. Some like the feeling of something large and cold inside stretching them. You can warm up glass dildos, but the main attraction is the cold sensation. 

Glass dildos are also incredibly smooth. There is less friction while inserting it, so you can focus on the pleasure more. 

They are also non-porous and easy to clean. Although, you want to avoid glass dildos with paint on them. You don’t want the pain to chip and end up inside you while using it. 

Glass is also prone to cracking. So, while we recommend glass dildos like the large one from NS Novelties Crystal Heart of Glass Pink, you should check for cracks before using one. 

How to Use a Giant Dildo for the First Time

The good thing about trying a giant dildo is it’s not your first time trying one altogether. And if it is, stop right now. 

Go for a beginner-friendly dildo and work your way up to your ideal size. 

If you are using a 6-inch dildo, go for an 8-inch next, and then opt for a 10-inch. 

Start with Foreplay: You know your body better than we do. What are some actions you know arouses you? Maybe give your nipples a squeeze or use your favorite vibrator. 

If you have a partner, you could ask them for a sensual massage or maybe a little oral action. 

The goal is to get you to relax. Your mind should not be on the length you are about to take in, but enjoying the moment. 

Use Lube and Go Slow: There is not a single scenario where you want to insert something and you skip out on the lube. You insert a finger in there, you should be lubing it up first.

But you should especially have your lube ready before you insert a giant dildo. 

A quick rule of thumb: If it’s a silicone or any other non-porous toy, go for oil-based lube for your first time. Water-based lube could dry out fast. 

If it’s latex or plastic, you can go for a water-based lube or silicone-based lube, which balances the scale a little.

But remember, never pair the same kind of chemical with the same material. Don’t pair silicone toys with silicone lube and latex toys with oil-based lube. 

Use triple the lube you think you need. If you are planning on using it for anal sex, go crazy with the lube. It is always better to have more lube than less. 

And then, go slow. Insert a little bit at a time. Let yourself adjust to the sensations and then try getting in more of the length. Take generous breaks. There is no need to rush. 

And if at any point, you feel pain, stop. 

Change Positions: Your body has to be relaxed. And it’s not unusual to start feeling discomfort if you are in a particular position for a long time. 

Because this is a game of patience. 

Sex expert Sammi Cole suggests lying on your back and propping a pillow underneath you. Raise your legs and spread them wide. 

Another alternative is to lower yourself onto the dildo. This allows you to focus on inserting it without worrying about what to do with your hands. 

If you are trying a big dildo with a partner, make sure you are on the same page. Communicate verbally what you need and when they should stop or keep going. 

Don’t try to brave it. Your partner doesn’t want to hurt you, but they won’t know if you are experiencing discomfort if you don’t communicate. 

Your Guide to Buying Giant Dildos

With dildos, there are 4 things you have to check on the product description:

1. Material

 The safest choice of material for any sex toy is always silicone, glass, wood, or metal. These are nonporous items, so the bacteria doesn’t settle in if you maintain a proper cleaning schedule. 

According to adult toy reviewer Amy Norton, you should avoid anything gel or jelly-based. These are products with phthalates and this is a chemical you want far away from your body. 

PVC, latex, and TPE don’t leak chemicals, but they are porous materials. Bacteria can leak into the inside of these materials. And dildos go inside you, so it’s not a great idea. 

If you use them, you need to be super thorough with the cleaning.

Even then, it’s hard to clean porous materials by 100%. An effective solution is to put on a condom on the large dildo. 

Some people specifically love latex or TPE dildo. They prefer it to glass or wood because it feels closer to human skin. Silicone is also a popular choice due to its flexibility for this reason. 

2. The Length and Insertable Length

Depending on the manufacturer, the size chart for dildos may be different. 

But overall, you can break down dildo size into three categories:

Small Dildos: This is anything from 2.5 to 6 inches. Now, lots of people may not even consider dildos in the 2.5 inches to 4 inches category to be dildos. Many think of them as butt plugs. 

4 to 6 inches in length is the average size for dildos. If you have used a dildo before today, you’ve probably used on in this zone. If not, this Empire Labs Vibrating Clone A Willy is a good place to start. 

Medium Dildos: A medium dildo will be around 6 to 8 inches.

Some manufacturers consider 8 to 10 inches the medium too. These are bigger than the average penis size. If you plan on using it for vaginal sex, you may or may not have to train your body for it. 

But if you want it for anal sex, you will definitely have to train up to it. 

The Blush Neo Elite 8 Inch Dual Density Cock with Balls is a good starting point for this. 

Large Dildos: Anything from 8 to 12 inches is large. But for those who like being full and stretched, it’s unlikely they will consider anything under 10 inches large. 

To put it in a real-world context, a 12-inch dildo is the same length as a classroom ruler. 

What you want to do is start with a small dildo, work your way up to a medium dildo, and then go for a large dildo. Using a dildo for the first time is the toughest. 

The transition from small to medium is pretty smooth. From medium to large, it’s essentially a piece of cake. Your body knows exactly how to relax beforehand at this point. 

You know it won’t hurt, so you don’t tense up in fear either. 

If you are really looking for a challenge, go for Pipedream Products King Cock 13” Cock. 

One thing to remember while buying a dildo is the difference between total length and insertable length. A dildo could be 12 inches, but only 8 inches will actually go inside you. 

This is the length left after the base area for realistic dildos. Additionally, you also have to account for the amount of space your hand takes up to grip the dildo. 

3. The Girth

Suppose you insert a 12-inch dildo, but you don’t feel the stretch, it’s not fun, is it? Kind of defeats the purpose. 

The girth is another thing you want to check. Although, if a dildo is long, the girth almost always measures up. 

Now, some manufacturers might mention the width of the dildo, but not the girth (the circumference). 

You can use this chart to get a rough calculation: 

The average penis is 4.5 inches in girth. If you opt for one with 8.5 inches in girth, you are practically taking in something double the size. 

Even if you could take a 12-inch dildo in length, you will have to work up to it in terms of girth. 

Cleaning and Caring for Your Large Dildo

You should clean your dildo before and after use. Now, how you clean them depends on the material. 

If it’s silicone, glass, or metal, sex therapist Shadeen Francis suggests filling a tub with warm water and soap. Submerge the dildos there for 15 minutes and then rinse them in cold water. 

We would prefer you clean your dildo before you use it any day. But if there’s some urgency or you don’t have the time, sex therapist Casey Tanner suggests putting a condom on the toy before using.

You should still try to clean it before your next use, but at least it doesn’t have to be tonight. 

Now, if it’s PVC, latex, or any dildo with porous material, do not soak the dildo. Instead, submerge a washcloth in warm, soap water and then wring it out. 

Then, use it to wipe the dildo. Don’t rinse it, but let it air dry. 

Cleaning isn’t enough. Proper storage also matters. 

In all honestly, you should clean your toy if you so much as switch it from your vagina to your anus. 

But it’s impossible to be steadfast to the level. So, what you want to do is put a condom on the toy. Then, suppose you use it orally and want to switch it to your vagina after, replace the condom with another one before the switch.  

Don’t go around throwing the the toy to the floor after you use it either. You are inviting bacteria to gather on it. 

Now, you might not have the energy to wash it right then.Lisa Finn, a sex educator, suggests using baby wipes or a toy cleaner to give it a quick wipe down. 

Final Thoughts

If this is your first time buying a giant dildo, don’t go for more than 2 inches up in size than your usual. Your body has its limits. If you try something too large in one go, you might end up hating the experience. 

Instead, start small. Plus, wouldn’t it be fun to create a dildo collection of all sizes?

As far as sex toys go, dildos are a little obvious. You know what it’s used for the moment you look at it. It’s why you should opt for retailers with discreet packaging. We are also generous with discounts.
