I did a lot of research before making a decision, and I am glad that I did. I used many of the resources that I mention below to make my decision, and it was for the best. I also gave myself time to decide. You may think that it is something that is an easy decision, but when you are spending money, and it is something that you want to keep for a while, it is worth it to think it through.

Here are some links for pages that explain what dildos are and how to choose one:




http://www.dildo.net.au/

http://www.a-womans-touch.com/article/46/120/How_to_choose_a_dildo.html 

Although I did not order from that place, the last site (A Woman’s touch) is nice because it actually organizes the dildos by how many fingers wide they are. Looking around on A Woman’s touch will help you know how dimensions compare to something you can test (your fingers). 



Also, be careful where you order if you are not going in a brick and mortar store for this. You want a place with discreet shipping and, more than likely, that will not mail you porn catalogues or other unwanted mail. 



I ended up ordering from edenfantasy.com which had very discreet shipping and has not mailed me anything else since I ordered. If you order from there, try using 3ZC for 15% off our order, HOT10 for 10% off your order, and if appropriate, take advantage of their free shipping sales requirements. Edenfantasy.com also has an “actual size” window to help you determine just how big it really is, and that is useful in the search as well. There are also a lot of reviews on edenfantasy.com, so make good use of them.

You may also consider a storage case if you live in an environment where there is a chance of someone finding it, especially children. Most stores that sell dildos, sell storage units, too.

And don’t forget lube!
