The King Cock Elite by Pipedream Products is the male dildo that ranks as the overall best toy on this list because of its premium materials, high-quality build, and how despite its numerous features, it's very easy to use.
One of the stand-out features of the King Cock male dildo is its dual-density design. On the outside of the toy, the Elite Silicone is soft and smooth. That outer skin is wrapped around an inner rod which is much stiffer. Together, this combo of densities makes for a toy that feels very realistic.
As far as male dildos go, the King Cock Elite 7-inch dildo is basically as good as it gets.
There are a few other design elements that add to the immersive nature of this dildo, including its realistic sculpt featuring lifelike contours, curves, and even veins. It also comes with a suction cup base which, along with its compatibility with Pipe Dream's Body Dock and harnesses, lets it deliver hands-free pleasure in various ways.
Since it's shaped like a real cock, the tapered tip helps make it easier to insert. As it's so easy to get inside you, it's a pretty good choice for anyone, regardless of their level of experience. Just make sure you use it with a lot of water-based lube!
As far as male dildos go, the King Cock Elite 7-inch dildo is basically as good as it gets. It's nice and simple, but its realistic design, dual-density silicone material, and capacity for hands-free pleasure make it a toy that we think you'll love.

Pros and Cons
7 Inch Triple Density 3D Hyper Realistic Dildo With Swinging Balls
Price: $$$ |
Material: TPE |
Insertable Length: 5.98 inches | Width: 1.73 inches |
Hands-Free: Yes | Compatible Lubricant: Water-Based |
Safety Features: Wide base, Latex-Free, Phthalate-Free | Features: Tripled-density realistic design, Suction cup base, Harness compatible, Swinging balls |
Realism is a large draw for dildos as a toy that looks and feels the part can add a lot to the overall feeling of fantasy and immersion. There are plenty of lifelike dildos out there, but the three-layered triple-density design of Pipedream's 3D 7-inch dildo is why it's our most realistic dildo for 2024.
When it comes to dildos, dual-density toys are pretty common; they're comprised of two layers of material with a softer outer layer wrapping around a more solid inner core. This kind of design is much more reminiscent of a real penis than a toy that has one layer of material.
This specific toy is actually triple-density - that's a whole three layers, and as far as realism goes, this dildo feels very close to the real thing.
It's not just the triple-density design that adds to the realism either - there are also specially designed testicles that flop around during use like real balls, and they also look convincing. We will admit though - much like in real life, the sound of a ballsack slapping against you can sometimes be a little silly, but not enough to take you out of the experience. Plus, it's a nice bonus for anyone who's really into balls.
The dildo itself is sculpted to match a real penis, complete with all the ridges and veins you'd expect. The material used here is called Fanta Flesh, which is a blend of TPE. You may have noticed when using other TPE toys that they tend to have somewhat of a specific smell - this is much less the case with Fanta Flesh, as it's specially formulated to avoid the aforementioned aroma.
On the base, you'll find a suction cup, meaning this dildo can be slapped onto a smooth surface, such as a shower wall, and used hands-free. While it stays stuck most of the time, it will occasionally slip or detach if you put too much pressure on it, so take care. The wide base of the dildo also makes it compatible with strap-on harnesses, adding more hands-free options.
Results From Our Testers
- It's not immediately apparent that this is a triple-density dildo, but it does feel very realistic to hold and use
- The balls are a fun addition but they're probably the least realistic element - it's hard to fake the texture of a real pair
- Fanta Flesh material really does smell less than other TPEs which is nice as they can smell strong
- Suction cup can be temperamental but stays stuck most of the time
- Nice and easy to insert thanks to the realistic design
Pros and Cons
Dr. Skin Stud Muffin Realistic Anal Dildo with Balls
Price: $ |
Material: Non-porous PVC |
Insertable Length: 6.25 inches | Width: 1.75 inches |
Hands-Free: Yes | Compatible Lubricant: Water-Based |
Safety Features: Easy to clean, Phthalate-Free, Latex-Free, Paraffin-Free, and Fragrance-Free | Features: Realistic design, Suction cup base, Harness compatible, Wide Base |
Suction cup bases are super useful additions to dildos, as they allow you to use your toy hands-free even if it lacks any additional stimulating features such as vibrations. The problem many dildos have though is that their suction cups aren't particularly strong, meaning they come unstuck often, ruining the whole point!
The Stud Muffin Realistic anal dildo however doesn't have this problem - its suction cup creates a very strong seal that we had to try real hard to unstick. For this reason, we've crowned it our dildo with the best suction cup for 2024.
The Stud Muffin Realistic anal dildo's suction cup creates a very strong seal that we had to try real hard to unstick.
Much like any other dildo with a suction cup base, all you need to do to use this toy hands-free is stick it base-down on a smooth and flat surface - a shower wall is always a good choice. The wideness of the base also makes the Stud Muffin compatible with a wide range of strap-on harnesses, making it great for sex with a partner, especially if you're into pegging.
Utilizing non-porous PVC material, Blush Novelties have sculpted this toy into a fairly realistic penis shape, complete with the head, veins, ridges, and a pair of balls right above the suction cup. It's not the most realistic-looking or feeling dildo we've ever seen, but it does the job well and comes in 3 skin tones.
Inserting this dildo is also easy thanks to its realistically tapered penis head. Since it's made from silicone, make sure you only use it with water-based lube. With its width of 1.75 inches and length of 8.5 inches, you're gonna need it!
Results From Our Testers
- The suction cup sticks hard and fast - withstands a lot more use than the average suction sup
- Feels great to use
- Though it's a large toy, the tip is very tapered which makes it easy to insert
- Not the most realistic-looking or feeling toy
- PVC material feels durable and is hygienic

King Cock Elite 9-inch Dual Density Vibrating Silicone Dildo with Remote
Price: $$$$$ |
Material: High-Quality Elite Silicone |
Insertable Length: 9 inches | Width: 2 inches |
Hands-Free: Yes | Compatible Lubricant: Water-Based |
Safety Features: Easy to clean | Features: Stimulating vibrations, Lifelike textures and details, Suction cup base, Harness compatible, With remote control |
Vibrations are a great way of making a dildo more pleasurable by adding to an already pleasurably shaped toy. The King Cock elite 9-inch dildo by Pipedream is our best-vibrating dildo for 2024 as with it, you're getting a very large, realistic toy that also has numerous settings of vibrational stimulation.
With its 3 different vibration speeds and 7 unique functions, there are 21 different combinations to play around with, which makes it easy to find something that suits how you're feeling at any particular moment. These controls are easy to adjust with the single-button controls which can be used with one hand. The vibrations get fairly strong, but not incredibly strong - this is probably to avoid overstimulation.
Though they're definitely the star of the show here, the vibrations are really only half of the story; the vibrating King Cock Elite is yet another dildo on this list that features a dual-density design. Here, the outer skin is composed of soft silicone that's wrapped around a stiff inner rod for a more lifelike texture. The design is also detailed with veins and curves which take the realism even further.
Pegging with a vibrating dildo is a unique experience that is definitely something to try with a partner, as vibrating is something a real penis just can't do.
As it's a large dildo, it'll give you a fair stretch, which is great if you're into that type of stimulation - it's 9 inches long, and 2 inches wide, so you won't be let down. The tapered tip helps with insertion, but you'll still need to use plenty of lube for the most comfortable experience.
Like many of Pipedream's male dildos, the vibrating King Cock Elite is compatible with their Body Dock, as well as their harnesses. Pegging with a vibrating dildo is a unique experience that is definitely something to try with a partner, as vibrating is something a real penis just can't do - as far as we know!
Results From Our Testers
- Vibrations add a lot of pleasure to the overall experience
- Material feels soft and realistic but isn't very flexible
- Vibrations don't get super strong, probably to avoid overstimulation
- Tapered tip helps with insertion despite the size of the toy
- Controls are very easy to use
Pros and Cons
Avant D10 Suko 6.5 inch Silicone Dildo with Suction Cup
Price: $$ |
Material: Platinum-cured Puria Silicone |
Insertable Length: 5 inches | Width: 1.25 inches |
Hands-Free: Yes | Compatible Lubricant: Water-Based |
Safety Features: Easy to clean, Waterproof, Non-Porous | Features: Dual-density material, With suction cup, Harness compatible, Feels like a real penis |
The Avant D10 Suko has quite the artisanal design, which we think visually portrays the fact that it's hand-sculpted from a higher-quality silicone than most. Its appealing appearance and specially designed curve both contribute to its ranking as the best silicone dildo for men in 2024.
It's made from Puria silicone which is platinum-cured, and to give Blush (the creators) some credit, this has resulted in a dildo that is incredibly soft and smooth to hold and use. Its dual-density design means it's pliable on the outside but much more firm on the inside, feeling close to a real erect penis - which is enhanced by all the sculpted ridges and veins.
It's made from Puria silicone which is platinum-cured, and to give Blush some credit, this has resulted in a dildo that is incredibly soft and smooth to hold and use.
As we mentioned earlier, the shaft of the toy is specifically shaped to curve in just the right way to hit your P-spot, and it achieves this pretty well the majority of the time. Obviously, while all our prostates are in the same general area, we're all built a little differently, so everyone's experience will differ slightly.
That being said, whether you're using your hands to thrust it in and out, utilizing the suction cup base for a hands-free experience, or being pegged (as it's compatible with harnesses) we think you'll have a great time. All you really need to do is to lather on some lube, and you're good to go. Remember, since this toy is silicone, you should only ever use water-based lube with it for the best results.
This dildo is easy to clean, and thanks to its non-porous design it'll also last a long time, meaning you'll be able to get use out of it for some time. If toys made from silicone are your preference, the Avant D10 is a great choice.
Results From Our Testers
- Puria silicone feels really nice - it's very soft and smooth
- It actually feels a little on the squishier side, which some will love, but some may not
- Design is interesting and looks good, it's like an abstract penis
- Suction cup is alright but can slip with vigorous use
- It's not the thickest dildo or longest dildo, so will work better for beginners

Pros and Cons
Icicles No. 89 Blue Glass Dildo with Suction Cup
Price: $$ |
Material: Tempered glass |
Insertable Length: 6.5 inches | Width: 1.3 inches |
Hands-Free: Yes | Compatible Lubricant: Water-Based, Silicone-Based (as long as silicone base is detached) |
Safety Features: Wide removable base, Non-Irritating, Hypoallergenic, Non-Porous | Features: Non-anatomical design, Weighty build, Bulbous tip, Suction cup base, Harness compatible |
As we're sure you're aware, most dildos are made from materials such as silicone and TPE, as these are usually soft and light, they work well with extra features such as vibrations, and they can be made to feel quite realistic. Glass dildos are a whole different kettle of fish - they're incredibly smooth, capable of retaining a temperature, and are pleasantly weighty in a way that gives a unique feeling of pressure when they're inside you.
Icicles No. 89 by Pipedream is the toy we consider to be the best glass dildo on our site. It's built out of high-quality tempered glass, meaning you don't need to worry about it breaking during use or anything like that, which is good for peace of mind!
Featuring a non-anatomical sculpt - which we think pairs well with the material - Icicles No. 89 has a curved, rounded tip, and a 40-degree arch which makes it nice and easy to use for prostate stimulation. The smoothness of the glass also helps with insertion.
At the bottom of the toy there is actually a removable suction-cup base made out of silicone, which makes it easier to keep hold of when you're going to town, especially if there's a lot of lube involved. This base also makes the dildo compatible with strap-ons and harnesses - pegging with a glass dildo can be a lifesaver if using silicone is becoming a little monotonous, which it can.
The only other real downside is that glass isn't a great material for realism, but that doesn't matter to everyone.
As it's made out of glass, this dildo is easy to clean, non-irritating to skin, hypoallergenic, non-porous, and body-safe by default. Glass is generally compatible with silicone lubes, but as this dildo features a silicone base, we'd stick to water-based lube at least when the base is attached. The only other real downside is that glass isn't a great material for realism, but that doesn't matter to everyone.
One of the best things about glass dildos is, as we mentioned earlier, that glass retains heat very well, so we'd recommend running the toy under hot or cold water for 30 to 60 seconds before using it. Temperature play is a fun way to experience different sensations, and Icicles No. 89 is definitely up for the job.
Results From Our Testers
- The glass is super smooth, feels really nice to hold and use
- Definitely a nice change of pace from silicone and TPE dildos that are much lighter
- Silicone base prevents the use of silicone lube when using the suction cup or a harness
- Heating or cooling the dildo is fun and different
- Great length and width
Pros and Cons
PDX Male Reach-around Gay Anal Stroker
Price: $$ |
Material: FantaFlesh |
Insertable Length: 6.5 inches | Width: 3.8 inches |
Hands-Free: No | Compatible Lubricant: Water-Based |
Safety Features: Easy to clean, Phthalate-Free | Features: Can be used as a stroker and a dildo, Veined cock exterior, Low-hanging and realistic testicles, Secure grip and easy squeeze |
The PDX Male Reach-around gay anal stroker is designed to be perfect for anyone who appreciates a good penis. What's a stroker doing on this list? Well, your eyes do not deceive you; this is actually a stroker with a realistic penis design that doubles as an oversized male dildo - which is why it's still our best dildo for gay men.
Built from Fanta Flesh material, the veins and contours of this toy make it possible to experience giving a reacharound, while also pleasuring ourselves with the stroker's heavily textured internal canal. There's also a pair of balls built-in to increase this immersion.
Honestly, this aspect of the toy isn't the most realistic in the world - penetrating the bottom of a penis makes it a little hard to suspend your disbelief - but it does feel good, and is only half of what you get here.
The PDX Male Reach-around stroker intends to give gay men (and anyone else with both a penis and a love for them) the best of both worlds.
All the bumps and ridges of the penis shaft make it a fun time to hold onto while you're inside the stroker - and help you get a good hold on the thing - and they also work well to stimulate you when used internally as a large dildo.
While the insertable length is a manageable 6.5 inches, the width of this thing is a huge 3.8 inches, to accommodate the internal canal. To put it bluntly, that's a crazy width - we wouldn't recommend this for anyone who lacks experience, patience, and a hell of a lot of lube.
The PDX Male Reach-around stroker intends to give gay men (and anyone else with both a penis and a love for them) the best of both worlds, and it pulls this off fairly well. It's a great idea on paper, but you'll need to be quite an advanced user to really get the most out of the dildo aspect of the toy.
Results From Our Testers
- The stroker feels good to use, the internal texture is nice
- Not the tightest stroker ever due to the softness of the material, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing
- Dildo offers a real challenge to use anally, for better or for worse - advanced users will find it fun to take on but beginners probably won't be able to do anything with it
- The soft material does help with insertion, but it'll still be too much for beginners
- Dildo is fun to use orally

Pros and Cons
King Cock Chubby 9-inch Dildo
Price: $$$ |
Material: PVC |
Insertable Length: 7 inches | Width: 3 inches |
Hands-Free: Yes | Compatible Lubricant: Water-Based |
Safety Features: Wide base, Phthalate-Free, Latex-Free | Features: Oversized design, Realistic dildo, Suction cup base, Harness compatibility |
Many experienced users enjoy the unique feeling of a large dildo stretching them out as they use it. The appealing realistic design, high-quality materials, and of course, the oversized nature of the King Cock Chubby 9-inch Dildo make it stand out from the rest - we reckon that for 2024, it's the best large/oversized dildo on the market.
The size is the main attraction here, so we'll talk about that first. With a length of 9 inches and a width of 3 inches, this is definitely a massive toy, but not something that's so ridiculously oversized that only experts can give it a go. That's not to say we'd recommend it to beginners, just that it serves as a good introduction to the more insane toys.
With a length of 9 inches and a width of 3 inches, this is definitely a massive toy, but not something that's so ridiculously oversized that only experts can give it a go.
This dildo is made from Real Deal PVC, which feels realistic to the touch and features veins, a prominent penis head, as well as a pair of balls, all of which add to the realism. The penis head also helps with insertion - it's not necessarily going to be easy, but it's not as difficult as it could've been! Just make sure you use a lot of water-based lube, and take your time.
At the base of the dildo, you'll find a suction cup for hands-free use, and it's also compatible with strap-on harnesses if you're looking to peg or be pegged. If you're the one that's going to be doing the pegging, make sure your receiving partner knows what they're getting into!
Oversized dildos can be a lot of fun, and we consider this one to be the best that you can currently find. It's also available in multiple skin tones, which is a nice touch and helps with the element of fantasy.
Results From Our Testers
- Quite a challenging dildo but gives a really good stretch
- Feels nice and premium
- Soft material helps with the stretch as it feels as though it expands to fill you up
- Not far too big for those with an intermediate level of experience
- Still not one for beginners despite the soft and stretchy material

King Cock Elite 6-inch Vibrating Silicone Dual Density Dong
Price: $$$$ |
Material: Silicone |
Insertable Length: 6 inches | Width: 1.5 inches |
Hands-Free: Yes | Compatible Lubricant: Water-Based |
Safety Features: Wide base, Easy to clean | Features: Realistic design, Vibrations, Suction cup base, Harness compatibility |
If you've never used a dildo before and are wondering where to start, your best option is to choose a beginner-friendly dildo - something that's not too foreboding in terms of size, and maybe with a couple of light features to help you get a taste for the toys.
The manageable 6-inch size, pleasurable vibrations, and simplicity of use of the King Cock Elite 6-inch vibrating dildo are why we've crowned it our best dildo for beginners. It's also essentially a smaller, vibrating version of our best overall dildo, which helped us come to our decision.
As is common within Pipedream's King Cock range, this dildo has a dual-density design, meaning it's soft on the outside, and has a firm inner core.
We've said it before, but these dildos do feel very realistic thanks to this design choice. The silicone feels soft and smooth, and it feels really good once inside you, thanks to the lifelike penis texture.
Overall you get 21 unique combinations of settings - 3 speeds and 7 patterns - to choose from, which gives you a fair bit of variation that's fun to play around with. All these settings can be controlled one-handed with a single button, which is super convenient.
There's also a suction cup at the base, allowing you to use this dildo for some hands-free fun. It's also compatible with body harnesses, making it a good choice if you're looking to get into pegging.
Basically, everything about this toy synergizes in a way that would make it our go-to dildo if we were just starting out. The size is small enough to be beginner-friendly, the vibrations don't get all that strong meaning you'll be able to avoid stimulation, the tapered penis tip means insertion is easy (you should still use lube though), and there are numerous ways to use it hands-free.
The price is admittedly a little steep, but we feel like it's justified considering the quality of the toy. Nevertheless, the cost may well bar some of you from grabbing this one - if your budget is tight, definitely try to catch it on sale.
Results From Our Testers
- The size and vibrations will make this perfect for beginners
- Dual-density design feels realistic as always
- Nice and soft but not all that flexible
- Vibrations don't get very strong - this is good for avoiding overstimulation, but does mean that non-beginners will want something a bit stronger
- Simple controls are a great bonus
Pros and Cons
Fetish Fantasy Extreme Black Inflatable Ass Blaster Dildo
Price: $$ |
Material: Body-safe PVC |
Insertable Length: 11 inches | Width: Starts at 2 inches, Can be increased with pump |
Hands-Free: No | Compatible Lubricant: Water-Based |
Safety Features: Easy to clean, Phthalate-Free, Hypoallergenic | Features: Quick-release deflation valve, Pump handle, Lifelike details, Ribbed ridges on the shaft |
Inflatable dildos can be a great next step for anyone who has a lot of experience with male dildos and isn't sure where to go next. Its capacity for expansion, impressive maximum size, and ribbed PVC material put the Fetish Fantasy Extreme Ass Blaster ahead of the rest, and for 2024, it's still our best inflatable dildo.
This toy is definitely not for beginners; at 11 inches long and 2 inches wide, even prior to any inflation it's a formidably-sized anal sex toy that many will find challenging to insert. With every pump of the easy-squeeze ball, the Ass Blaster inflates further and further with the intention of really stretching you out, which it succeeds in doing. The ribs that line the shaft also add stimulation if you can manage to thrust it - lube helps a lot here.
With every pump of the easy-squeeze ball, the Ass Blaster inflates further and further with the intention of really stretching you out, which it succeeds in doing.
We found that though it does indeed get bigger, the overall size increase isn't massive. But, since the dildo is already huge, that's not too much of a shame, as you'll be getting stretched either way. Some adventurous users were hoping for even more inflation though, so bear that in mind if you're trying to go all out.
The tapered tip of the dildo means that inserting the dildo is easier than we expected given the overall size. There's also a quick-release valve, so you don't really have to worry about getting it stuck once it's inflated. Always use plenty of water-based lube to aid with insertion and removal.
The Ass Blaster inflatable dildo is an extreme sex toy that's smooth and soft to the touch and feels great to use. Though it doesn't get anywhere close to doubling in size as you pump it up, it inflates to a point where you'll definitely be tested - and that's on top of the challenge of inserting it in the first place.
Results From Our Testers
- Gives a really good stretch
- Inflation is pretty easy thanks to the pump
- Quick-release valve is good for peace of mind
- Once it's inside and inflated it's quite hard to thrust to feel the ribs, but it is possible with enough lube
- Would've been nice to see it inflate just a little more

Pros and Cons
How to choose your first man dildo
1. Think of size
Finding a dildo that fits you right is extremely important when it comes to avoiding unwanted discomfort and pain. Generally, your level of experience with anal toys is a good point of reference, as the more experienced you are, the more likely you are to understand what you're getting into with large and oversized male sex toys.
If you're a beginner, you'll want to start out with a toy on the smaller end.
Don't worry about missing out on any orgasmic sensations - even smaller toys are designed to provide maximum pleasure to those who use them. Anyone with a little more experience who is comfortable with small, medium, and even large anal dildos may want to expand their horizons and journey into the oversized territory.
2. Make sure it's compatible with your lube
It's vital to use the right lube with the right sex toy to avoid damaging the toy or damaging your body! Most of the toys on this list are made from softer materials such as silicone. With these toys, always stick to water-based lube, as using silicone-based lube could mess up the surface of the dildo and cause you harm.
It's vital to use the right lube with the right sex toy to avoid damaging the toy or damaging your body!
Glass sex toys are a different story. Toys made from harder materials like glass, wood, or metal are actually compatible with water and silicone-based lube, meaning you can enjoy all that extra cushioning and slickness.
There are also oil-based lubes out there, but unless you really know what you're doing, we'd recommend simply avoiding using them with sex toys. It can make them difficult to clean, and can also coat your insides and lead to infections - not fun!

3. Keep an eye on hygiene
Maintaining good hygiene is a crucial part of using sex toys as it helps avoid getting nasty bacteria inside your body, which can result in infections. The toys on this list are all very easy to clean - to stay hygienic, it's a good idea to wash your sex toys both before and after use, with warm soapy water, and even an anti-bacterial sex toy cleaner.
Additionally, keep an eye on the materials used in the toy. Make sure you're buying toys that are body-safe and free of harsh chemicals. Most good silicone toys are made from a non-porous material, which doesn't hold on to bacteria, making it a great choice. Glass toys are also non-porous by nature.
4. Evaluate your thickness preferences
Thickness is just as, if not more important than length when it goes to anal toys, as the width of a toy shows how much it'll stretch you. More advanced users may enjoy a good stretch, but beginners should be careful as too much thickness could result in painful tearing.
Whatever you opt for, always use plenty of lube to make insertion more comfortable and more pleasurable!
For this reason, beginners should stick with less girthy toys until they know what they're comfortable with. Whatever you opt for, always use plenty of lube to make insertion more comfortable and more pleasurable!
5. Consider safety features
Some dildos have specific safety features to help protect you during use. Many are made from body-safe materials and also have wide or flared bases safety bases that prevent the dildo from getting stuck inside you.
Inflatable dildos often have a quick-release valve that allows you to deflate them whenever you need to, which is a great feature for toys that without care could get a little too big to be comfortable.
