You asked:

My husband and I are shopping for a new dildo to replace my old one, which has started to irritate me. I’ve been using a basic 8” silicone model, but I’m curious about upgrading. While at a local sex store, the assistant suggested dual-density. I agree it feels pretty realistic, but it’s $160 before tax. Is it really worth the price?

Grace:

If you want realism, it is hard to beat dual-density. I am a big fan of it personally, and I know a lot of people swear by it. However, $160 is a lot! I’d be very cautious at that price point. Dual density has been around for years and isn’t exactly groundbreaking anymore, so it doesn’t justify the markup. I fear that shop may be trying to pull a fast one on you. Even if it is legit, it's a lot to pay when you aren't sure if something is for you yet.

Instead, I'd check out our dual-density options at The Sex Shed. Prices start at just $30, and we have some of the biggest names in the industry.
