Why Get Crafty with a DIY Dildo?

Safety and Sneakiness: The Must-Know Rules

• Pick Safe Stuff: Stick to non-porous goodies like food-grade silicone, tempered glass, or stainless steel. Skip anything sketchy like wood or cheap plastic that can hoard germs like a bad roommate.
• Keep It Smooth: Your DIY dildo should feel like a silk scarf, not sandpaper. No sharp edges or rough patches allowed.
• Scrub It Clean: Wash with soap and water, boil if the material’s cool with it, or wipe down with a 10% bleach solution. Slap on a fresh, lubed-up condom every time for extra cleanliness.
• Lube Is Your BFF: Use water-based lube with condoms or silicone-based for other stuff. Oil-based lube? Hard pass—it wrecks condoms.
• Stay Stealthy: Stash your creation in a locked makeup bag or pencil case. Go for items that blend in (like a spoon) if you’re dodging prying eyes.
• Test It Out: Play externally first to make sure it feels good and won’t fall apart mid-session.
• Listen to Your Body: If it hurts or feels off, stop. No heroics needed.

25 Clever DIY Dildo Ideas for Every Vibe

Beginner-Friendly Hacks (No Skills, No Stress)

Banana: Curvy and Playful

How to Make It: Pick a ripe but firm banana—no mushy ones allowed. Wash the skin to ditch dirt, then wrap it in two layers of plastic wrap to keep it from turning into a smoothie. Add a lubed condom, knot it tight, and slather on more lube. Ease it in, using the curve to tease your G-spot or prostate. Grip the end to keep things under control.

The Good: Awesome curve for targeted spots, soft yet sturdy, probably already in your kitchen.

The Bad: Single-use; overripe ones can collapse; no anal base.

Safety Musts: Test for firmness to avoid a mess inside. Swap out the condom if it tears. Toss after one go to skip bacteria. Store in a cool spot before use—warm bananas are a no-go.

Hairbrush Handle: Stealth Mode On

How to Make It: Find a hairbrush with a smooth plastic or silicone handle, about 4–6 inches long. Scrub it with hot soapy water, rinse, and dry. Sand any seams with fine sandpaper for that silky feel. Lube up a condom, wrap the handle, and knot it. Slide it in gently, using the brush head as your grip. Stash it with your toiletries to keep it on the DL.

The Good: Blends right into your bathroom, tough as nails, easy to clean.

Perfect for folks who like it slim and simple.

The Good: Skinny for newbies, dirt cheap (under $1), smooth after prep.

The Bad: One-use only; can be too hard without boiling; no anal base.

Silicone Spatula Handle: Kitchen Kink

How to Make It: Pick a spatula with a smooth, food-grade silicone handle, around 5–7 inches. Wash it with hot soap, dry, and sand any logos or seams. Slather lube on a condom, wrap the handle tight, and knot it. Slide it in, using the spatula blade as your grip. Try warming it in water for a cozy feel.

The Good: Bendy yet firm, safe material, looks innocent in the kitchen.
