HOME MADE SEX TOYS

Men and women have confessed to using all sorts of things as makeshift dildos, from cowbells to flashlights. Alas, sex toys can be expensive, tricky to hide, and maybe just not the right shape for you. There are plenty of reasons why you’d wanna know how to make your own dildo – who doesn’t want to customize their masturbation experience?

In this guide, I look at 14 homemade dildos made from household items.

When you’re putting household items inside your body, there is a lot of stuff that can go wrong. Every makeshift dildo is different, but here are some homemade sex toy safety tips that apply to most DIY sex toys:

Use a condom!

9 times out of 10, you need to use a condom with a homemade sex toy. The only materials that are safe to put inside your body are things like medical-grade silicone, ABS plastic, borosilicate glass, and stainless steel. Even if you’re using an item made from these materials, it needs to be thoroughly sanitized before going inside you.

Alas, put a condom over your makeshift toy to guarantee that you won’t get any nasty infections or injuries. The condom acts as a body-safe barrier between you and the DIY dildo, and many come pre-lubricated or ribbed for your pleasure.

Make sure it can’t break

Don’t use any items which could easily break, snap, or shatter. For example, you might have heard of glass sex toys, but glass toys are made from tempered shatterproof glass – a regular old glass bottle or tumbler isn’t going to have the same stability and could easily shatter inside your body.

Similarly, items made from wood could snap and/or splinter, while fruits and vegetables could snap in half if you use them too vigorously. Make sure you aren’t going to cause injury with your home made sex toys.

14 Easy Homemade Dildos made from Household Items

1. Cucumber

You might be thinking “is it safe to put a cucumber in you?”. Generally speaking, it’s fine to put a (ripe) cucumber inside your vagina as long as it’s covered in a condom and the surface is smooth. If you want to try anal cucumber play, be sure that the cucumber is very long and unable to slip inside you – leave plenty of inches outside your body at all times.

Cucumbers essentially act like a large, thick dildo.

2. Banana

Bananas make great homemade sex toys because they can be used by either sex. Men can use the peel of a banana as a homemade vagina, while ladies can use a full, ripe banana as a homemade dildo. Just make sure that you cover it in a condom, use plenty of lube, and don’t insert the end that was stuck to the branch.

3. Drumstick

If you happen to have a passion for drumming, drumsticks can make great little small dildo stand-ins. They’re skinny, they have a tapered end, and they’re usually pretty sturdy. Wooden drumsticks can be covered in a condom for splinter protection, though occasionally you can get hard plastic drumsticks which may be cleanable.

If you want a real sex toy but can’t afford one, did you know that you can buy used sex toys online? Subreddits like r/UsedSexToys allow users to sell/buy certain used sex toys if they’re made from body-safe materials and able to be sanitized.

4. Electric Toothbrush

Looking for a DIY vibrator? Try cleaning your electric toothbrush handle and then holding the vibrating base against your clitoris for intense clitoral pleasure. You could also try covering the base in a condom and then inserting it into your vagina while the toothbrush is on, creating a homemade vibrator.

5. Carrot

Another phallic foodstuff to make the list, carrots are obviously a great choice due to their stiffness, length, and naturally tapered shape. Again, just make sure that they’re smooth, covered, and easy to hold. The average carrot is around 6 inches, so they’re just the right size for replicating a real penis.

6. Makeup Brush Handle

Have you got a hard plastic powder brush with one of those thick plastic handles? Try cleaning the handle and then putting it inside you. Just make sure it’s thoroughly clean – we’re not trying to give your genitals a smokey eye.

7. Shower Head

Okay, it’s not a “dildo” as such, but detachable shower heads make great DIY vibrators, especially if you live in an area with decent water pressure. Make sure that the temperature is nice and lukewarm before play, and check that no one is about to start doing the dishes downstairs!

8. Corn on the Cob

As long as you cover it with a condom, a well-sized corn on the cob can make for a very interesting and intense makeshift dildo, with all those nodules of corn creating very unique and intense sensations inside your body. You can even buy corn on the cob dildos on Etsy and from certain Amazon sellers and sex shops.

9. Shampoo Bottle

If you’ve got a shampoo or conditioner bottle which is relatively long and narrow, you may be able to use it as a DIY dildo as long as you cover it with a condom for protection. The suitability is going to vary wildly from bottle to bottle, so take this one with a pinch of salt. Good luck getting one of these inside you.

10. Back Massager

You can get plenty of generic back massagers and body massager wands that are designed to relieve tension and sore muscles after a long day. However, many of them also make for great DIY vibrators.

11. Smartphone App

It’s the 2020s, so it’s safe to say that you have a smartphone. Well there are apps such as the Massager Vibration App that allow your phone to be used as a vibrator, giving you multiple vibration settings for clitoral pleasure. I would not recommend putting the phone inside you, but the clitoral stimulation is unreal.

12. Hairbrush Handle

So many girls using dildos start out with a hairbrush handle in their teenage years, and for a good reason! They’re long, they’re thin, they’re often made from plastic, and you can easily put a condom over them. Make sure that the shape and size are adequate for you, and be extra careful if the hairbrush is wooden.

13. Video Game Controller

If you happen to be a gamer (and you’re not part of the PC Master Race) then your PS4 or Xbox controller can make a handy little external vibrator when you’re playing a game or testing your vibration settings.

Perhaps shoot a lot of machine guns on first-person shooters while holding the controller against your clit. You could be the virtual Xenia Onatopp!

4. Toothbrush Handle

Looking for a beginner’s toy that isn’t too big and scary? Put a condom over the end of your toothbrush handle and insert it into your vagina for some small dildo play. Obviously, you might want to avoid the bristles.
