How to Choose Your Strap-On Size

Strap-on size is the question everyone has and no one asks out loud. Let us save you the awkwardness.

The truth: there's no universally perfect size. There's the size that's right for you — your bodies, your desires, your experience level.

Length: Shorter Than You Think

The market is full of dildos at 18, 20, even 25 cm. In practice, most people hit their pleasure peak well before those lengths. For beginners: 13 to 16 cm (5–6.5 inches). That's exactly why our magnetic dildo comes in S (13 cm) and M (16 cm).

Girth: The Most Important Factor

When it comes to sensation, girth (diameter) often matters more than length — it's what creates that feeling of fullness. A diameter of 3.5 to 4.5 cm (1.4–1.8 inches) works well for most beginners. Our S is 3.8 cm, our M is 4.2 cm.

Shape: Curve and Texture

Curve: a slight upward curve targets the G-spot or prostate more naturally. A straight dildo gives more neutral, controlled stimulation.

Texture: ridges and ribbing add extra sensation. For a first time, a smooth dildo is more predictable.

Quick Guide: Which Dildo for Which Profile?

Complete beginner: Dildo S — 13 cm, Ø 3.8 cm. Comfort first.

Some experience, want more sensation: Dildo M — 16 cm, Ø 4.2 cm. The sweet spot.
