Why Do People Use Double-Ended Dildos?

---

If you're looking to very literally 'share the pleasure' with your partner, double-dildos are for you. Impressive looking toys comprised of two dildos fused together, our double-ended dildos range between 5 - 13+ inches in insertable length, and are usually made from soft, flexible materials such as PVC or realistic feeling material.

The aim of the game for these dual ended toys is to be super-bendy for a comfortable fit.

Are double-ended dildos just for lesbians?

Bum to bum, bum to vagina, or vagina to vagina; our double-ended friends are among the more versatile of sex toys for both men and women, although their original purpose was for the pleasure of lesbian couples.

Designed so each female partner can insert one end while meeting in the middle to grind against each other, gay and straight couples have since discovered that they are indeed multi-faceted sex toys, and they're often used for dual anal stimulation. And it doesn't stop there...

You can use a double-ended dildo for...

Solo double penetration: If you're on a quest for solo double penetration, we recommend double-ended dildos that are on the smaller end of the spectrum, with a firm-yet-flexible U-shaped curve and a tapered end.

The U-shape can be used as a handle to make positioning and inserting both ends a doddle. Most people use the smaller, tapered ends for anal penetration, and direct the bigger, more bulbous end to the vagina.

Couples play: The extra long, firm and flexible type of double-ended dildo is top of the list for sharing the pleasure with your partner.

Usually super-bendy for easy insertion, these versatile beasts can be used for vaginal and anal penetration, with some featuring tapered ends that are ideal for anal play.

If you’re somewhat of an aficionado when it comes to the pleasure of dildos and double penetration, you may wish to make the jump to solo DP play with these extra long dildos, but we only recommend this for those of you with plenty of experience.

Pegging or strap on sex: The strapless strap on variety of double-ended dildos are suitable for someone with a vagina looking to penetrate their partner either vaginally or anally.

Usually firmer than other types of double-dildo, they are easier to control and most feature adjustable angles that allow for a good fit for both partners, enabling a variety of positions during wear.

The smaller shaft, or 'pony' as it is commonly referred to, is worn in the vagina of the penetrating partner, who grips it in place to thrust it into the partner's anus or vagina.

A big bonus for some strapless strap ons is the addition of a bullet vibrator, introducing oooh-inducing vibrations into the mix for both partners to enjoy.

Now for men who wish to turn themselves into a double penetrating toy, we have double penetration strap ons. This variation of the strapless strap on for women usually features a dildo attached to a cock ring, which effectively gives the wearer a second penis in the form of a dildo.

A similar concept to the smaller, U-shaped double ended dildos, they allow for penetration of both the vagina and anus.

And the essentials

Taking care of yourself and your new double-ended dildo are a must. Large helpings of lube to accessorise your double penetration play ensures playtime gets off to an extra slippery, extra comfortable and of course extra pleasurable start and finish.

There are many water-based lubes to choose from, and a fine selection of anal lubes to accompany your anal adventures.

But which lube for which end?

Good question. If using one end for anal and one end for vaginal penetration, you'll need to use an anal lube for the anal end and a water-based lube for the vaginal end.

But what if you want to switch it around a little bit during play? The same rule applies, but it is essential that you clean your dildo before switching ends and holes, and of course before and after play.

We have a fab selection of sex toy cleaners to browse.
