Though vibrating toys have become increasingly popular in the past decade, non-vibrating dildos are still a great buy for individuals who want to simulate anal or vaginal penetration. Add a little lube to your toy and you can use it to tease your clit or anus, too.

     If you are a first-time jelly buyer, here are a few helpful tips for selecting the perfect toy:

1.  Shape it up! Would you prefer a lifelike toy or a non-representational toy? Some of our jellies are stylish enough to grace your bedside table while the realistic look and feel of others will make you shocked there’s not a real man on the other end.

2.  Size it up! If you don’t know what length and diameter you want, we recommend starting small and working your way up. Or, experiment with a vegetable such as a cucumber to make sure your eyes aren’t bigger than your stomach.

3.   Strap on, strap off! Are you going to be using your new dildo in a harness? If so, remember to select a toy with a flared base. A harnessed toy will end up being ½ an inch shorter than usual – don’t forget it when you’re considering length. Sometimes an inch can make all the difference!

4.  Function matters. Are using your dildo alone? Perhaps you want a dildo with a suction cup for easier masturbation. Sharing your toy with someone special? You might want to choose a curved Jelly for G-spot or prostate stimulation, and double-sided toys can be twice as fun.

Use our criteria to choose your toy, and use your own imagination when you play to incite some toe-curling fun. After all, when has something made out of jelly ever been a bad thing?
