Dildo
If you’re looking for a quality erotic toy for solo fun or to spice things up with your partner, you’re in the right place. Here you’ll find realistic dildos, gel and silicone dildos, luxurious glass designs, and also special strap-on models for exciting couple play.
A dildo is one of the most popular sex toys because it delivers intense stimulation and lets you experiment with different shapes, materials, and sizes. Whether you’re a beginner or already experienced, you’ll definitely find the perfect one here!
You often ask what the difference is between a dildo and a vibrator. The answer is simple. While vibrators stimulate using vibration, dildos are perfectly shaped artificial penises inspired by the look of real male anatomy. They often feature a defined head, veined texture, balls, and come in many shapes and sizes. They’re made from flexible, high-quality materials, and some models even include a suction cup for hands-free fun. Discover these amazing toys!
What is a dildo?
A dildo is one of the most timeless, versatile and enjoyable sex toys ever created. Unlike vibrators, a dildo has no motor, meaning the sensations come from your own movement and rhythm — natural, intimate and fully controlled by you. Most people use a dildo for vaginal penetration, but slimmer and smaller designs are also excellent for anal play for both women and men. Whether you prefer a lifelike experience or a more artistic shape, a dildo provides deep, steady stimulation that feels wonderfully real.
Its name comes from the Italian expression “ol diletto,” meaning pleasure — which perfectly describes what a well-chosen dildo delivers. And at Lovesexshop.ie, you’ll find Ireland’s widest and most diverse selection designed to satisfy beginners, adventurous couples and experienced toy lovers alike.
General features of dildos
Because a dildo contains no electronics, it is fully waterproof and can be used in the shower, bath or jacuzzi without limits. This simplicity is exactly what many users love: it’s quiet, discreet, easy to clean and incredibly durable. Dildos come in countless shapes, sizes and materials, from super soft silicone to ultra-smooth glass, firm plastic, or realistic blends that mimic human skin. The most popular choices are silicone and realistic PVC dildos, but each material creates its own unique sensation.
The evolution of the dildo
While modern designs are impressive, the concept of the dildo is ancient — with the oldest known dildo artefacts dating back more than 28,000 years. In ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, dildos were used not only for pleasure but also for rituals, celebrations and sexual empowerment. Today, thanks to medical-grade materials and innovative design, dildos are safer, more comfortable and more realistic than ever. The tradition remains — but the experience is better than at any time in history.
Dildo types at Lovesexshop.ie
To help you choose the perfect dildo, here is a clear overview of the dildo categories shown above — each designed to offer a different style of stimulation and pleasure.
Suction cup dildo: One of the most popular choices, perfect for hands-free play. Strong suction bases attach to tiles, shower walls, furniture or floors, allowing you to enjoy penetration from any angle. Great for solo fun or use with a partner.
Realistic dildo: Made to look and feel like a real penis, complete with glans, veins and detailed texture. Ideal if you love natural sensations and lifelike penetration. Available in many sizes, from beginner-friendly to impressively large.
XXL dildo: For those who want more — more length, more girth, more intensity. XXL dildos provide extreme fullness and powerful sensations, recommended for advanced users who enjoy deep penetration and larger toys.
Strap-on dildo: Designed for harness play, perfect for couples exploring roleplay, pegging or lesbian sex. Strap-on dildos stay firmly in place and give the wearer full control of the movement. They come in realistic, smooth or textured designs.
Glass dildo: A premium choice for users who enjoy firmness and temperature play. Glass dildos are hypoallergenic, easy to clean and incredibly smooth. They can be warmed or cooled for unique sensations and often feature artistic, elegant shapes.
Silicone dildo: Soft, flexible and body-safe. Silicone dildos adapt to body temperature and offer a velvety, realistic feel. They are ideal for everyday use, easy to clean and perfect for beginners and experienced users alike.
Anal dildo: Slimmer, tapered and designed for safe anal penetration. Their shape allows gentle insertion while still delivering deep pleasure. Great for men and women exploring anal play.
Anal beads: A playful option for building intensity gradually. The beads create a unique popping sensation and are excellent for both solo and couple play. Many users love combining anal beads with oral or vaginal stimulation for powerful orgasms.
Double dildo: Flexible, dual-ended designs perfect for couples or for double penetration. Excellent for shared pleasure or multi-zone stimulation, depending on how adventurous you want to be.
Fantasy dildo: Designed for those who love imagination, fetish play or unusual textures. Fantasy dildos stand out with bold shapes, intense ridges or mythical creature designs — a must-try for users looking for something extraordinary.
How to choose the right dildo?
The most important factors are size, shape and material. Beginners usually start with smaller, smoother dildos, while experienced users may prefer thicker, textured or curved models. Realistic dildos provide a natural feel, while glass creates intense, firm stimulation. Strap-on users should choose a dildo with a flared base, and anal players should always select toys with a safe, wide base. No matter what your preference is, Lovesexshop.ie makes it easy to compare sizes and materials so you can choose your perfect match.
Material matters — find your ideal feel
Silicone is soft, safe and flexible. Glass is firm, smooth and perfect for temperature play. Realistic PVC blends mimic skin, while rigid plastic provides intense, pinpoint stimulation. Every material offers a different sensation, which is why many customers enjoy owning more than one type for different moods.
Care and hygiene
Wash your dildo with warm water and toy cleaner after every use, let it dry completely, and store it separately from other toys to protect the material. Silicone and glass can last for years when cared for properly, making them excellent long-term investments in your pleasure.
