We’ve all heard the phrase ‘size matters’, but what if you’ve got the wrong end of the stick? Small dildos have loads of benefits, and are great for those who don’t want to venture into fisting just yet. Choosing the size of your dildo can make or break any experience, so read our guide to dildo sizes for more information on all dildos, from the smallest strap ons to the most colossal cocks.
Not sure if a small dildo is right for you? Here are eight reasons why a small dildo makes a great addition to any blooming sex toy collection.
1. They’re discreet
People who live with roommates or family often struggle to find somewhere to hide their sex toys away from prying eyes. Here at UberKinky, we see nothing wrong with displaying your sex toys for everyone to see, but understandably that’s not for everyone. The great thing about a small dildo is that it’s so easy to hide, being small enough to easily slot into an underwear drawer or other hiding place of your choice.
2. They’re perfect for beginners
Using a dildo can provide you with extreme pleasure, but not everyone can manage a 10 incher the first time around. Huge dildos can be daunting and even painful if you’re not used to a large penis or toy. Sex shouldn’t hurt (unless you want it to) so if you don’t think you can handle a massive member, small dildos are definitely one of the best sex toys for beginners. There’s no shame in starting small.
Once you’ve had a little practice with some small dildos, you might feel confident to graduate to the big boys, such as an inflatable dildo. These nifty toys give you full control over the size of your dildo, meaning you can start with a small filling and then pump up the toy while it’s inside you for maximum stretch.
3. They’re travel sized
Ever fancy a trip abroad but don’t want a huge dildo taking up space in your bag? Luckily, small dildos mean you can pack light without leaving your favourite toy at home. They’re also more discreet, so none of your travel companions will know about your naughty little secret. Besides, you probably don’t want to be whipping out a giant depth training dildo at the security checkpoint.

4. They can mimic your partner’s penis
Long distance relationships can be frustrating, so using sex toys is a great way to satisfy your sexual appetite. If your partner has a smaller penis, using a dildo that’s a similar size to theirs can make you feel as if they’re right there in your bed (and more importantly, in you). Just lay back, close your eyes, and pretend it’s theirs - you can even incorporate some dirty talk over the phone while playing with your dildo.

5. You can get away with minimal lubricant
Lashings of lube make any sexual experience better, but it’s not essential - especially with small dildos. If you don’t own any lube, saliva is a natural alternative that can help your dildo easily slide in and out without friction. We’d recommend only using saliva if you’re inserting your dildo vaginally, since vaginas can usually get pretty slippery all by themselves. To get yourself or your partner soaked and ready for penetration, try warming up with a vibrator first.
Even though Heath Ledger made it look pretty hot in Brokeback Mountain, we wouldn’t recommend spit for anal penetration because it’s not as effective at preventing friction. But if you’re really caught in the heat of the moment without any lube, a small dildo is by far the safer option for a quick anal affair.
6. Easy G-spot access
Even though most vulva owners won’t orgasm from penetration alone, pleasuring the G-spot is more likely to result in a satisfying squirt. The most popular way of stimulating the G-spot is usually with your fingers, but small dildos allow the flexibility to hit that golden spot with something a little girthier. Where a big dildo can struggle to hit the right places, small dildos are perfect for controlled G-spot stimulation.
7. They’re a great intro to double penetration
If you have a craving for two dicks but only one partner, boy do we have a solution for you. While your partner inserts their penis or fingers inside you, grab your small dildo and use it to pleasure any other holes that need filling.
Small dildos are perfect for adventuring into the world of double penetration, without overwhelming you. However, if you do want to give double penetration a try, check out a double penetration dildo that you can thrust and ride to your heart’s content.
8. They’re more realistic
If you love having sex with penises but don’t exactly have the real thing on hand, grabbing yourself a realistic dildo can tend to your cravings. Most dildo users want to recreate the texture of a penis, but if you want a realistic size too, a small dildo is the way to go; one pretty significant study found that the average erect penis size is just over 5 inches. Getting your hands on a small dildo might just save you from having to text that Tinder hookup you’ve been meaning to reply to.
