Double-ended dildos are unique sex toys that can be used in a variety of ways. Choose the one that’s perfect for you.


Sharing a double-ended dildo with someone else
Originally designed as sex toys for couples, these are still frequently used with a partner. They are ideal for simultaneous penetration—with one partner inserting one end while the other partner inserts the opposite end. If you plan to share a double-ended dildo with your partner, look for one made from a firmer material, such as dense rubber or silicone; this makes penetration easier. You should also pay attention to the overall size. It needs to be long enough to satisfy both of you, but if it’s too large, you won’t be able to get close enough to embrace or rub against your partner.

Using a double-ended dildo for solo play
When used for solo play, double-ended dildos are typically intended for deep or dual penetration. For deep penetration, you’ll want a long dildo made from a firmer material, such as dense silicone or rubber. It should also feature a textured shaft to ensure a secure grip. If you are interested in double penetration—simultaneous anal and vaginal use—you will need a double-ended dildo made from a highly flexible material, such as TPR/TPE or soft silicone. This allows the dildo to be bent in half, enabling you to use both ends at the same time.

Using a double-ended dildo for role reversal
Instead of sharing a double-ended dildo with your partner, it is sometimes easier to take the initiative yourself. This involves using the double-ended dildo like a strapless strap-on: you insert one end and hold it in place, while using the other end on your partner. This can be somewhat challenging, however, as the shape may make it difficult to keep the device in position. Look for a double-ended dildo that features an enlarged end and a narrow, wedge-like neck; this gives your muscles something to grip onto. The dildo should be made of a firm material, such as rubber or silicone. It should also be somewhat smaller than average, as excessively large models will be difficult to manage.
