Best first dildos
Tantus Silk Small leads our first dildo ranking for beginners. Real products still sold in the US, re-checked weekly.
Reviewed by Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer) · Prices checked · How we rank
The verdict
A first dildo should name the polymer and the girth. Twelve pieces still sold in the US. Silk Small if you want slim platinum. Silk Medium if Small already felt easy. Echo if you want a curve. Liv 3 if you want a slim motor. Fun Wand if you want steel without jumping to Pure Wand.

The ranking
The full ranking
Ranked by demand, review quality, availability, and fit. Stars are owner review averages from the store or brand site, where there are enough reviews.
No. 1 · TantusPhoto at the top ↑
Tantus Silk Small
Free shipping at SheVibe over $68. Tempted to treat yourself? Add a silky lube and it all ships free.
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
About 4.25 inches, 0.8 across. Named platinum silicone. Flared base. The first dildo if Medium looks like a dare.
Pros
- Platinum-cure silicone
Cons
- Slim. That's the point
- Water-based lube only
Why it ranks: First-dildo search wants slim and named. Official page is live.
No. 2 · Tantus
Tantus Silk Medium
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
The middle Silk. About 5.5 by 1 inch. Smooth platinum. Flared base. The size people stay on after Small feels like a finger.
Pros
- Platinum-cure silicone
Cons
- Firm. If you wanted squish, that's Vixen
- Water-based lube
Why it ranks: Dildo search that wants a name, not a vein, lands here. First-dildo fit is high if Small already felt easy.
No. 3 · njoy
njoy Pure Wand
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
The steel wand people mean. Weight. Two ends. A first dildo only if you already like firm pressure and you have lube in reach.
Pros
- Body-safe stainless steel
Cons
- Hard. Go slower than silicone
- No flared suction cup. This is a hand toy
Why it ranks: Demand is huge. First-dildo fit is weaker because the learning curve is the weight, not the listing.
No. 4 · Vixen Creations
Vixen Maverick
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
Dual-density platinum. Soft skin over a firmer core. Pick it first if you already know you want squish and you will spend for it.
Pros
- Flared base
Cons
- Water-based lube. Silicone lube can damage silicone
- Heavier than a Silk. That's the skin
Why it ranks: Dual-density search names Vixen. First-dildo fit drops because the girth is a step up from Silk Small.
No. 5 · Tantus
Tantus Echo
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
Shorter, curved Tantus. Platinum silicone. A first G-spot shape if you want a bump, not length.
Pros
- Platinum-cure silicone
- Flared base
Cons
- Texture. If you wanted smooth, that's Silk
- Confirm whether your listing includes the bullet
Why it ranks: Curve search is quieter than Silk. Official page is live.
No. 6 · njoy
njoy Fun Wand
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
Smaller njoy. Steel. Weight without a leap in girth. A first metal toy if you already know you want pressure, not squish.
Pros
- Body-safe stainless steel
Cons
- More geometry. Easier to use wrong on night one
- Still a hand toy. Not a harness dildo
Why it ranks: Steel beginners land here before Pure Wand. Official page is live.
No. 7 · Vixen Creations
Vixen Mustang
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
Another Vixen dual-density. Different shape than Maverick. For when you already picked VixSkin on purpose.
Pros
- Flared base
Cons
- Read the size chart. Names are not a scale
- Water-based lube
Why it ranks: Shape argument next to Maverick. First-dildo fit is the material, not the size.
No. 8 · LELO
LELO Liv 3
Ships discreetly from Intimatify
Slim internal with a motor. Gentle curve. A first insertable vibe if Silk Small felt like a finger and you want buzz next.
Pros
- Body-safe silicone
- Rechargeable
- Waterproof
Cons
- Still insertable — go slower than the box copy
- Water-based lube only; silicone lube can wreck silicone toys
Why it ranks: First-internal-vibe search is quiet. Liv 3 keeps getting named because it is slim and washable.
No. 9 · Tantus
Tantus Silk Large
Ships discreetly from SheVibe
The big Silk. Still named platinum. Still a flared base. Not a first dildo. On this list so you can see the step.
Pros
- Platinum-cure silicone
Cons
- Larger. Don't start here
- Water-based lube
Why it ranks: People search Large after they already like Silk. First-dildo fit is low. Don't start here.
No. 10 · We-Vibe
We-Vibe Rave 2
Ships discreetly from Intimatify
Internal curve with a motor. A first G-spot vibe if you already know you want inside and buzz. The angle is the product.
Pros
- Body-safe silicone
- Rechargeable
Cons
- This is a vibrator you insert. Don't buy it expecting VixSkin
- Water-based lube
Why it ranks: Beginner G-spot search exists. Rave 2 is the current We-Vibe answer. Fit for absolute first-timers is lower on purpose.

No. 11 · Tantus
Tantus Ryder
Tantus plug-leaning shape with a flared base. A first anal insertable if you want platinum and a neck, not a long shaft.
Too new to rate

No. 12 · We-Vibe
We-Vibe Nova 2
Rabbit, not a plain dildo. Two motors. On this list because people search first dual-stim when they meant first insertable.

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Don't start with Large, Maverick, or a rabbit because a photo looked busy. The full shelf is Best dildos. Lube is Best sex lubes. Water-based on silicone.
If you have never used a motor, you can start external on Best first vibrators and come back.

Buying guide
Girth first
Length is the boast. Girth is the night. Silk Small exists because people regret going fat on purpose. If the listing hides diameter, shop a brand that writes it down.
Flared base and lube
A flared base matters if it goes anal. Water-based lube on silicone. Silicone lube can wreck silicone. Add it to the same order so it arrives with the toy.

FAQ
Common questions

- Tantus Silk Small if you want slim named platinum. Silk Medium if you already know Small is too skinny. Don't start with Large or a dual-density brick.
- Do I need a vibrator or a dildo first?
- Most people want external buzz first. A dildo is a different job. Best first vibrators if a motor is still new to you. This list if you want inside without a leap.
