Fantasy Dildos

A fantasy dildo is one shaped like a creature or an invented thing rather than like a penis. Tentacles with suckers, ridged alien shafts, unicorn horns, jellyfish, dragons. The shape is the product.

People usually arrive at these for the look and stay for the texture. Ridges, suckers, knots and scales press differently than smooth silicone does, and they keep changing as the toy moves rather than delivering one constant sensation. That is a real functional difference, not a novelty one, and it is why a lot of people who own several realistic toys still reach for a tentacle.

Here is the part worth knowing before you buy: on a fantasy shape, length is the number that lies. These are frequently much thicker in the middle than a realistic toy of the same length, because the design puts a bulb or a flared ridge partway up. Find the girth or diameter at the thickest point and compare that to something you already own. If a listing gives you insertable length and diameter, the diameter is the one that decides whether it works for you.

Fantasy shapes come in every material and mechanism the rest of the catalog does.

• Silicone fantasy dildos: the largest group and the softest. Platinum silicone holds fine detail, so suckers and scales stay crisp, and it warms to body temperature. Water-based lubricant only with these.
• Glass fantasy dildos: rigid, smooth and non-porous, usually a twisted horn rather than a creature. They take temperature, so a few minutes in warm or cool water changes the whole experience, and they work with any lubricant.
• Vibrating fantasy dildos: the same shapes with a motor inside. Worth it if you want the texture and the vibration at once rather than holding a second toy against yourself.
• Unicorn dildos: tapered spiral horns in rainbow and pastel colorways. The spiral is gentler than a sucker or a knot, which makes these the usual starting point for the category.
• Fantasy grinders: creature shapes built onto a base you straddle and ride rather than hold. Hands free, and most have suction cups so they stay where you put them.

Glow in the dark versions use phosphorescent pigment mixed into the silicone. It needs light to charge, so leave it somewhere bright for a while before you want it to glow.
