Non-realistic dildos

What makes a dildo "non-realistic" and why might I prefer one?

A non-realistic dildo is any penetrative toy that does not mimic a human anatomy. That includes abstract curves, gem shapes, tentacle forms, spirals, tapered wands, and fantasy creature designs. Many people prefer them because the shapes are engineered specifically around internal anatomy and pleasure points rather than appearance, which can mean more targeted G-spot, P-spot, or A-spot stimulation. They are also a great choice if you simply want something that feels playful, artistic, or distinct from a more traditional toy.

Are all non-realistic dildos body-safe?

Not automatically. The shape of a toy tells you nothing about the safety of its material. Always check that your chosen toy is made from one of the following non-porous, body-safe materials:

• Body-safe silicone (soft, flexible, and very versatile)
• Borosilicate glass (smooth, temperature-responsive, and extremely hygienic)
• Stainless steel (firm, weighty, and easy to sterilise)

Avoid anything labelled jelly, rubber, PVC, or TPE if the brand cannot confirm it is phthalate-free and body-safe. When in doubt, reach out to us and we will help you check.

Which lube should I use with a fantasy dildo?

The right lube depends on the material. Water-based lubricant is the safest all-around choice and is compatible with silicone, glass, and steel toys. If your toy is made of glass or stainless steel, silicone-based lubricant is also compatible and tends to last longer. Avoid using silicone-based lube with silicone toys, as it can degrade the surface of the material over time. Always use a generous amount of lube, especially with textured or bulbed designs where friction can increase.

How do I clean and store a non-realistic dildo?

Cleaning depends on the material. For all non-porous toys, warm water and a mild, fragrance-free toy cleaner or gentle soap is sufficient for regular use. For a deeper clean, borosilicate glass and stainless steel can be boiled for a few minutes or placed on the top rack of your dishwasher without detergent. Body-safe silicone can also be boiled unless it contains a motor or electronic component. Store your toy in a breathable fabric pouch or a dedicated toy box, away from direct sunlight and away from other toys, as some materials can react if stored in contact with each other.
