Why a Small Dildo is Essential to Your Sex Toy Collection
When it comes to dildos, size matters! But let’s be real: sometimes smaller is better. A large dildo (or penis) doesn't always mean pleasure. In fact, a small dildo can be the foundation of any sex toy collection.
Are you a beginner or looking to explore anal play? Do you experience pain or discomfort during penetration? In that case, a small sex toy will be a better choice for you. A smaller size is also discreet enough to travel with, and who doesn’t want an O on the go?
But small can mean different things and there are lots of factors to consider - first and foremost, bringing yourself maximum pleasure! Here’s your guide to every type of small dildo you can think of.
Can a small dildo hit the G-spot?
The G-spot is located just a couple of inches up the front vaginal wall, so yes, a small dildo can still get there! Since fingers use a “come hither” movement to reach this spot, you may want to choose a curved dildo to reach it more easily. A curved shape is also helpful if you want to stimulate the P-spot or the prostate with an anal dildo. The curve puts pressure on all the right areas without requiring thrusting.
How to choose a small dildo
Experience level
If you’re new to dildos, start small and make sure to warm yourself up with some foreplay and external stimulation. That said, even people who have tried all kinds of dildos tend to gravitate towards the small ones. Not everyone is a size queen!
Length
A long dildo means deeper penetration - it can reach the G-spot and the cervix. But for many people, it can be uncomfortable. If you haven’t explored much beyond vibrators, it’s best to start with a dildo that’s not much larger than your hand.
Many people enjoy dildos that are five inches and under. After all, the average penis is just over five inches when erect, but no shame if you’re a size queen!
Girth
Many people enjoy a smaller but girthier dildo in both vaginal and anal play. There are tons of nerves around these openings, and a girthy dildo or fat dildo can stimulate them. However, a wide dildo isn’t for everyone. A slim dildo may be more comfortable and approachable, especially when combined with vibrators or clit suckers.
Texture
you prefer a smooth surface, something ridged, or perhaps a small, realistic dildo with veins? It’s a bit like choosing between regular and ribbed condoms. Exploring and experimenting will help you figure out whether you prefer a smooth surface or a textured one. If your body is sensitive, it may be better to start with smooth. No matter the texture, apply plenty of lube before playing!
Material
A squishier dildo made of a material like silicone or PVC may be more comfortable for those just starting out. It’s also better for people who experience painful sex or disorders like vaginismus. Materials like glass and steel, despite being great for temperature play, are very rigid and hence may feel more intense even if they are a smaller size.

How to use a small dildo
During your next masturbation sesh
Smaller dildos are easier to handle and, hence, the perfect toy to masturbate with. You can even combine them with a vibrator and make it a hands-free experience by placing the dildo in a toy mount. Liberator has plenty of great option, like the Wing or BonBon sex toy mount. Suction cup small dildos also allow for hands-free action.
A steamy addition to foreplay
You can have your partner use a dildo on you as they perform oral sex or stimulate other erogenous zones. Have them tease you with it during foreplay for a steamy intro to your session.
Dual penetration
If you’re looking to explore double penetration, small dildos are the perfect add-on to your playtime. Try it out alongside a second dildo or your partner’s penis for a threesome you’ll never forget!
Don’t forget the lube
Regardless of size, lube is a must! For maximum glide, opt for a water-based lubricant like Wicked or Sliquid. These brands have a clean ingredient list and will keep the ride smooth without needing to reapply.
Will a small dildo fit in a harness?
As long as it’s labeled as harness-compatible, you’re good to go for strap-on play. While the part that inserts might be smaller, its attachment will be an average size. Because of the smaller size, it can make penetration even more intimate as you need to push closer to your partner to fully enter them.
