Double-ended dildos are a popular option for strap-on sex because they offer stimulation to both partners at the same time. Whether you’re looking for a double dildo for vaginal play or for pegging, there are a number of things to consider when shopping for a double ended dildo including:

  • Type of double-ended dildo: do you want a straight flexible dildo, one with two long ends, or one with a shorter bulb on one side?
  • Materials: what texture and firmness are you looking for?
  • Size preference: finding what works for both people.
  • Use and Functions: this will inform the shape of the toy.
  • Harness compatibility: choose the right harness for added support.
  • Vibration: choose between vibrating and non-vibrating double dildos.
  • Cleaning and Care: how do you care for a shared sex toy?

Types of Double-Ended Dildos

Classic double-ended dildos are long straight dildos with a head on each end and are good for grinding and manual use. Double dildos with a bulb on one end and a longer shaft on the other are great for g-spot stimulation and connection and control for the wearer. Double dildos that have two longer dildos connected at the base offer both partners deep penetration and can be stabilized in a harness because of the sturdy base.

Double-Ended Dildo Materials

Though some double-ended dildos are made of rigid materials like glass or stainless steel, most are made from soft materials. All of our soft dildos are made of body-sage and non-porous silicone, which can be thoroughly cleaned. Some silicone double dildos are firm which can be great for g-spot or p-spot play and some are more flexible so they conform to the body and move with you as you play.

Choosing the Right Size

Choosing the right size double-ended dildo requires finding a dildo that meets two people’s preferences. Depending on the length each person prefers, you can get longer double dildos or ones with a short bulb on one end. You can also customize a double dildo by taking two dildos you already like and joining them together with a double-sided suction cup, or suctioning together dildos with built-in suction cup bases.

Uses and Functions

Some considerations for choosing a double dildo include:

  • Anal-friendly design: dildos with a smooth texture, tapered tip, and substantially flared base like Sharevibe are easier to insert and anal-safe.
  • G-spot and p-spot play: Double dildos with a bulb on one end cradle the wearer’s g-spot. Pronounced heads and curves are also excellent for g-spot play.
  • Adjustability: Strap-On-Me dildos have bendable necks which make them adjustable for better fit and easier sharing.
  • Vibration: can help with relaxation and add extra stimulation.

Harnesses for Double-Ended Dildos

Some double-ended dildos claim to be “strapless strap-ons” however we recommend using a harness even with these because the dildo may become slippery in use because of lubrication and gravity. Confirm that your harness is open behind the o-ring so both ends can go through. Make sure your dildo fits in the opening and that it has some sort of base or protrusion to keep it in place. Both underwear style harnesses and strappy harnesses are available in compatible styles.

Vibrating Double-Ended Dildos

Some vibrating double-ended dildos have a removable bullet vibrator which allows for the dildo to be boiled and sanitized. Others have built in vibrating motors which are rechargeable and very powerful. Some vibrating double-ended dildos have a remote control which makes it easy to adjust the intensity of the vibration while the toy is in use. Vibrating double dildos with multiple motors that can be controlled independently are great for customizing which end feels vibration.
