How to Choose the Right Giant Dildo: A Size Guide for Beginners, Adventurers & Experts

Why Size Matters (and Why It Doesn’t)

Let’s be real—size isn’t everything, but when it comes to giant dildos, it definitely changes the experience. I live in California, where adventure is a lifestyle—surfing, hiking, road trips—and I bring that same mindset into my sex life. Trying out different toys, especially when it comes to big silicone dildos, is like exploring new terrain: sometimes smooth, sometimes challenging, always worth it.

I’ve tested toys from modest to massive, from a 9-inch thick silicone dildo to a huge 16-inch long dildo that honestly felt like running a marathon. Along the way, I learned that the best experience comes when you pick a size that matches your level—whether you’re a beginner, an advanced player, or an expert looking to push boundaries. Here’s my no-BS guide.

For Beginners: 9–11 Inches

If you’re new to the world of large dildos, the 9 to 11-inch range is your sweet spot. It’s big enough to give you that “wow” factor, but not so overwhelming that you’ll regret starting out too fast. Think of this as your learner’s permit—you’re not on the freeway yet, but you’re definitely behind the wheel.

A 9-inch silicone dildo is perfect for warming up your body and exploring deeper sensations without pushing limits. If you want something that feels more lifelike, go for a long, thick dildo with realistic textures. I usually recommend pairing it with a strong suction cup base—perfect for hands-free play when you want to experiment with positions.

Upgrade idea: Once you’ve mastered this stage, try a little motion. We carry 9–10 inch thrusting dildos that blend manageable size with gentle thrusting power—great for beginners who want to explore vibration and movement without going too big, too fast.

For Advanced Players: 12–14 Inches

Now we’re talking. The 12 to 14-inch range is where big silicone dildos start to feel like a sport. This is not just about penetration—it’s about endurance, technique, and stamina. When I first tried a 12-inch giant dildo, I remember thinking: “Okay, this is serious.” And it was—my muscles felt the workout.

If you’re an advanced player, you’ve already built up comfort with size and motion. This is the stage where toys like large thrusting dildos or pumping long silicone dildos really shine. The thrusting action mimics a partner, and the added length allows you to explore angles you didn’t even know existed.

Upgrade idea: If you’ve mastered the 12–14 inch range, the natural next step is going even bigger. Moving up to a 15 or 16 inch dildo pushes intensity to an entirely new level. These extra-long and thick designs deliver fuller, deeper sensations that advanced players often crave once their body adapts.

For Experts: 15–16+ Inches

Welcome to the legend tier. If you’re eyeing a 15-inch giant dildo or bigger, you’re not just playing—you’re performing. This level is about pushing limits and embracing the extreme. The first time I tried a 16-inch long silicone dildo, I felt like I had climbed Half Dome in Yosemite—intense, exhausting, but wildly satisfying.

At this size, preparation is everything. Warm up with smaller toys first, and use tons of lube. I mean tons. Don’t think of this as a casual session—it’s more like training for a marathon.

Upgrade idea: Once you’ve explored the 15–16 inch range, the next frontier is about going beyond size—experimenting with extreme fantasy shapes like horse, dragon, or tentacle dildos, or even inflatable designs. These toys take intensity to another level for those seeking the ultimate challenge.

Craving the extreme? Check out our 16 Inch Dildo Collection —and keep an eye out as we expand into fantasy and specialty designs.

Final Thoughts: Find Your Perfect Match

Whether you’re starting with a 9-inch big dildo or leveling up to a 16-inch huge dildo, remember that size is only part of the story. What really matters is how you use it, how safe you feel, and how much fun you’re having along the way.

The beauty of sex toys—especially thick silicone dildos—is that they let you explore new sides of your pleasure, on your own terms. It’s not about keeping up with anyone else’s scoreboard. It’s about discovering what excites you, one inch at a time.

FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Large and Giant Dildos

1. How do I choose my first big dildo?
If you’re new, start small. A 9–10 inch silicone dildo is perfect for beginners—it’s stimulating but not overwhelming. Focus on comfort first, then gradually explore larger options when your body feels ready.

2. Are thrusting or moving dildos safe to use?
Yes, as long as you use them correctly. Always apply plenty of water-based lube and start on the lowest speed. A large thrusting dildo can feel intense, so pacing and relaxation are key.

3. What’s the difference between a giant dildo and a regular dildo?
A giant dildo (12 inches and above) is designed for size play and deep penetration, while regular dildos are smaller and easier for everyday use. Giant toys are best for advanced or expert players looking for maximum intensity.

4. How do I clean and store a huge silicone dildo?
Wash your toy with warm water and mild, fragrance-free soap or a toy cleaner. Let it air dry completely before storing it in a clean, dry bag. With big silicone dildos, proper storage is especially important because of their size and weight.
