Are you buying your first dildo but want to be discreet about it? Or maybe you’re a sex toy veteran looking for more buying options? Then you came to the right place! Our clinical sexologist Rachel Sommer, Ph.D., has summarized the best places to buy your dildos in this extensive guide!
Dildos are a hot commodity right now, and getting your hands on a high-quality product is not that difficult. But many are not comfortable walking into their local sex shop, while others are worried about the packaging not being discreet enough.
I have used sex toys since 2010 and accumulated tons of knowledge about buying sex toys discreetly. And to help others, I have compiled everything I know into this comprehensive guide.
Let’s start with talking about where to buy dildos online, then where to do it in person, and finish up with discussing the legal age.
Let’s go!
Table Of Contents
Where to Buy A Dildo Online?
Nowadays, the Internet is the most common place to buy dildos because it’s convenient and discreet. Plus, it’s easy to get an overview of the complete catalog, and you can browse everything from the comfort of your own home.
Today, tons of online retailers specialize in sex toys, and many have a wide variety of different products to choose from.
But you have to be careful with online stores because it’s easy to make a mistake and end up with a dildo that you don’t want. In addition, many web stores sell unsafe sex toys from China with toxic materials you don’t want anywhere near your vagina.
That being said, I have used the below stores for years, and they all sell high-quality products with a solid warranty, return policy, and customer support.
Lovehoney
Lovehoney is my favorite online adult store. They have a wide variety of adult pleasure products, ranging from silicone toys, and strap-on dildos, to hyper-realistic dildos.
The store is easy to browse, and all products are grouped into categories. In addition, you can filter based on criteria like size, color, price, etc.
Finally, Lovehoney offers a very generous return policy and full money-back guarantees within 60 days.
Shevibe
Shevibe may not have as extensive a catalog as Lovehoney, but they are more fun to browse. The style is like a comic book, with superheroes displayed in a sex-positive way.
The main drawback with Shevibe is it’s a bit expensive, but you’re paying for body-safe and high-quality products. Well worth it, in my humble opinion.
Hankey’s Toys
Mr. Hankey is my go-to place for everything fantasy and anime. Do you have a fantasy of being fucked by a Dragon? Or maybe you want to feel a tentacle tingle inside your butthole? Hankey got you in that department!
I highly recommend you visit the store to check out their extensive selection.
Fleshlight
Most people think Fleshlight is only selling male masturbators, but that’s far from the truth. They sell a myriad of different products, including anal toys and vibrators, and of course, dildos. What’s so special about their products is that they are molded from popular male pornstars, adding more spice to your sex life.
Etsy
Etsy may not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking about dildo shopping, but they actually have an extensive selection of smaller and independent manufacturers.
Many products are handmade, and you usually communicate directly with the designers. It’s a great way to support independent stores.
Where to Buy Cheap Dildos?
Most people recommend Amazon for budget dildos, but I will instead say Lovehoney. With Lovehoney, you’ll know you receive a body-safe product that has gone through their rigorous quality process.
In addition, since they have so many customers, the site has tons of helpful product reviews. I recommend reading most of them before buying something, especially if you’re looking for cheaper models.
Pro Tip: Read both the good and bad reviews. Most customers only leave a review if they are unhappy with their purchase, and you may find the most honest feedback there.
Where To Buy A Dildo In Person?
Sex toy stores are a good alternative to online shopping, but sadly, because of the Internet, they are not as frequent as they used to be.
Sex shops have a bad reputation, and most people will think of creepy older men in trench coats lining the aisles. But that’s far from the truth. I have personally found stores are more likely to have a larger selection of niche toys and more knowledgeable staff.
The main advantage of buying dildos in person is you can feel the texture and firmness before buying them. In addition, you can ask the store owner for advice, and you can take the product home immediately.
Pro Tip: If you’re looking for a particular size or design, you can usually find it in person. It’s a great way to find something that you don’t see online.
But what are the best sex stores for buying a dildo? Let’s check them out:
Good Vibrations
Good Vibrations is a household name when it comes to sex stores, and they have been around since 1977. Their stores and clean, cozy, and well-stocked with body-safe dildos.
Good Vibrations is a bit more expensive than the average store, but it’s well worth it. The store has a vast selection of sex toys and other adult products.
Spencer’s
Spencer’s is a pop culture store chain selling everything you need for a party, including a bedroom party. They have stores all over the United States and sell body-safe dildos of all shapes and sizes.
Convenience Stores
Convenience stores like Walgreens and CVS also sell dildos. Without a doubt, you will have a more limited selection, and the store may not be as well-stocked.
But I know many who have purchased sex toys from a convenience store and been pleased with the product.
How Old Do You Have To Be To Buy Dildos?
This question comes up a lot, and I’ll answer it here. Please note that the replies apply to the United States, and you have to check what the law says in your particular country.
Online Shops
Online shops have no age restrictions for buying sex toys, and all stores above ship the items in a discreet package with a generic shipper address.
Your main issue when buying online will be the payment, but a gift card could be a solution.
Sex Shops
Please note some states have restrictions for minors entering stores with pornographic materials, so you have to check the laws in the area where you live. If the law says so, the stores will ask for your ID upon entry.
Convenience Stores
Buying from convenience stores is usually a smooth process. In addition, it’s easy to hide any naughty products under a bag of chips so other customers won’t see them.
Wrapping Up
Buying a dildo is an important decision. It’s an intimate object, and you should feel comfortable with the product and the place you buy it from.
- A great way to find a good dildo is online, where you can read the product descriptions. You can also read the reviews on my blog.
- If you’re looking for a more unusual dildo, you can try buying a sex toy at a sex shop, but make sure the shop is reputable and has a large selection of toys.
