Realistic dildos come in many different shapes and sizes (just like the real thing), and are also available in many different designs, be it glass dildos, double-ended dildos, strap on dildos or vibrating dildos.

The common denominator amongst this lifelike species of dildo is of course their realistic, penis-like features - raised veins, a realistic glans and often a pair of balls as the finishing touch.

But with so many hugely popular non-anatomical sex toys available, what is it about realistic dildos that makes them a staple in the Lovehoney hall of popular toys? Let our team of experts explain.

Most strap-on harness kits have either a hole or an O-ring that you slot the dildo into, and usually come with at least one dildo to start you off. Once you discover the joys of strap-on sex though, you'll be hungry to try dildos in new shapes and sizes - or may be be ready to go bigger.

This guide will give you all the information you need to choose the right dildo to fit your strap-on. And remember, with our generous returns policy you can always check your dildo in your harness at home and if it doesn't fit, just send it back.
