26 DIY Ideas On How To Make The Best Homemade Dildo (2024)

Good quality dildos can be expensive…and not discreet at all. So, whether because you’re a broke college student or you have a privacy issue, you might be looking for the best homemade dildo option.

It can give you more flexibility with the size and the shape of your dildo, and it will cost you almost nothing. 

You would be surprised how many household items you can use as a homemade dildo, and today you’ll learn all about it. 

So, let’s get started!

Dangers & Safety Precautions To Consider In Using  A Homemade Dildo

Now, before we go any further with this topic, I have to warn you about the safety of homemade dildos. 

While it’s all fun and games, using household items as sex toys, there are a lot of dangers you might not be aware of.

Here are three safety things you should keep in mind: 

If you’re not careful and choose to use an item that was not made for internal use, you can get infections, rashes, and all the other uncomfortable side effects. 

Here is a great article that explains the main things you need to know about safe and unsafe sex toy materials.

You can avoid having issues with the material of your homemade dildo by using a condom every single time you use it. 

---

Starting from getting an infection because you didn’t sanitize your toy properly and ending with the toy getting stuck inside you or breaking.

There are a lot of dangers that come with using items that were never meant to be inserted inside you, so always make sure you’re choosing the safest option. 

You can read about the safety of homemade dildos more here.

Always choose an item that is not easily breakable and won’t carry infections. And your safest bet is always to use a condom, no matter which household item you choose. 

---

It’s always best to lube it up generously before using your homemade sex toy.

This sex lube will ensure that you’re comfortable, and the whole experience is pleasurable for you. 

You always need more lube when playing with a sex toy and not a real penis, so don’t be shy about it!

Sometimes the shape and the size of a homemade dildo can be rough, and you don’t want to have bad memories of using it now, do you? 

---

As I already mentioned, most household items aren’t made of body-safe materials. 

If they’re porous, you can’t completely disinfect them no matter how much you wash them. That may lead to allergic reactions, bacteria contamination, yeast infections, and all sorts of nastiness. 

Putting a condom over your homemade sex toy will protect you from this.

---

Most DIY sex toys are safe for vaginal use, but anal use is quite tricky.

An item not meant for anal penetration can get stuck or even “lost” in your rectum. If that happens, you’re in for a very awkward trip to the ER.

ALWAYS use sex toys with a flared base for anal penetration to prevent such mishaps, especially when you’re playing with handmade sex toys.

---

With handmade sex toys, you are your own quality control.

Carefully check your homemade sex dildo before using it and make sure there aren’t any sharp edges that could hurt you, that it’s the right size and shape for you, and that the condom covers it sufficiently. 

If something seems wrong, don’t use it.

7 DIY Dildos: Homemade Dildo Ideas

Now that we have all the safety precautions out of the way and you know how not to use your homemade dildo let’s dive into the best 7 homemade ideas!

Yes, it’s possible to make your own silicone dildo from scratch! Let’s look at the shopping list you’ll need for this project.

There are a few things to get:

• Platinum Cure Silicone (Check this one)
• Sculpey Clay 
• A container
• Mann Easy Release (get it here)
• Pigments
• Mod Podge (get it here)

Once you have all the tools and materials, it’s time to get crafting:

---

Step 1: Shape Your Ideal Dick

First of all, you’ll want to take the clay and create a shape of a dildo you’ll want. 

Here you can get as creative as you want, and the sky’s the limit. 

Once you have the shape you like, follow the instructions of the clay and bake it in the oven until it’s done. 

After it’s baked and cooled off, cover it with Mod Podge. 

---

Step 2: Make Your Perfect Dildo Mold

In this step, you’ll want to work fast, so have your workstation ready. 

First, you’ll need to get your clay dick and grease it up before putting it inside the mold. 

Then, get your container and place your clay dick inside it. Try to keep it in the center and standing. 

Also, make sure that your container is large enough and that it’s leakproof as you don’t want your mold getting everywhere. 

Take your molding medium and mix it according to the instructions on the packet. Once it’s ready, pour it over your clay dick inside the container. 

Make sure that everything is covered!

Leave it until it’s hard and then cut it in half.

---

Step 3: Make Your Dildo

Now that you have the mold ready, it’s time to actually make the silicone dildo. 

First, take your mold and spray it with Mann Ease Release. 

Then, mix your silicone according to instructions and pour it inside the mold. 

Leave it to sit for however long it tells you inside the instructions. Then, take it out once it’s done. 

And here you have it, your very own perfect silicone dildo!

If you’re not interested in getting your hands dirty, I have an alternative for you:

This sex toy kit is very popular and a great way to create your own dildo. And it’s very cheap as well!

Now, inside the kit, you get everything you need to create a silicone dildo:

The process of making this homemade dildo is pretty easy:

Step 1: Get Your Partner Hard And Prepare The Mold Container

So, take the mold container and measure it for your partner’s dick. Then, cut off the exec and tape of the ends. 

Get your partner’s dick hard, as they will need it for the next step. 

Step 2: Mix The Molding And Stick Your Partner’s Dick Inside

Now, it’s time to mix that molding mixture with water until it’s smooth. There can be a few clumps, but that’s OK. 

Once it’s done, pour it inside the mold and stick your partner’s dick inside for 2 minutes. You might need to help your partner out here, so they don’t lose the erection. 

Step 3: Let The Mold Set

Now, it’s time to let the mold get hard, so leave it be for a couple of hours.

Step 4: Prepare Your Silicone And Clone Your Willy

Once the mold is set, mix the silicone mixture, and then it’s time to pour inside your mold. 

Leave it for 24 hours, so it sets fully before you remove it. 

And once you take it out and it’s fully set, you’ll have a copy of your favorite penis!

The DIY silicone dildo is your best option here, and it will feel the best when using it. 

Even though it requires a bit more work, I think it’s totally worth the time investment. 

Especially with Clone A Willy kit that allows you to shape a homemade dildo after your partner or just someone you know, that has a nice penis.

Another very easy option for a homemade dildo is to use tampons and a condom. 

You’ll need about 6-7 tampons, but it really depends on the size of the dildo that you want. Take the condom and fill it up with tampons,  secure it, lube it up and go to town!

---

If you’re not into the idea of using tampons or just don’t have access to them, there is another option for you. 

I bet your household does have toilet paper, right?

You’ll want to take a bunch of toilet paper and wet it. 

Then, stuff it inside the condom, tie it up, and done!

You have a homemade dildo perfect for you. 

Don’t forget to lube it up, and it’s time to play!

---

Another way of making a homemade dildo is to get creative with your kitchen utensils.

You’ll need four things for this one:

• Spatula
• Kitchen towel
• Rubber ties
• Condom

Take the kitchen towel and wrap the spatula with it. Secure the towel with some rubber ties. 

Now, take the homemade dildo and cover it with a condom.

And that’s it! Lube it up and enjoy it.

If you’re a huge fan of the technology and you’re extra with everything you do in life, you might want to try 3D printing your dildo. 

Yes, it’s a crazy amount of work, and it probably won’t be cheaper, but it’s a helluva fun experience!

You can either design the dildo yourself if you have the skills, or you can simply use tools online. Here is one for you.

Then, if you have the 3D printer, you can print it out yourself, or if you don’t, just find one locally, and they’ll do the job for you. 

Of course, it might be awkward to ask someone to print you a huge dildo, but you can pretend that you’re one of those trendy hipsters, and it’s a part of your gallery art…

Either way, if you’re bored and want something extra, 3D printing will definitely make it a special homespun dildo!

Here is a great read on Vice about making a 3D dildo; I recommend you check it out.

---

Now, if you want a dildo that’s safe to use and has many different shapes to it, Dodil is the perfect option for you. 

Now, technically it’s not a homespun dildo as the toy itself is made by the brand, but you do shape it yourself into any shape you want.

It’s a truly amazing little toy to have!

You buy it once, and you can have multiple different dildos depending on your mood!

It’s made out of safe and high-quality material, so you don’t have to worry about safety, and it doesn’t look like a dildo, so if someone finds it, you can just say that it’s your stress ball…

You can find more about it here.

IKEA’s huge inventory makes it a perfect place to gather your sex toy DIY supplies.

You could get an affordable rubber spatula and a washcloth to wrap it up with. 

A couple of rubber bands will hold the fabric in place. Put a condom over it, and you got yourself a double-density dildo! 

Here is another idea for a similar effect: get a small pillow (no pillowcase needed) and a thick marker (yes, they have those in IKEA too). 

Use the stuffing from the pillow to fill up a condom halfway. Insert the marker pen in the center to firm up the core. 

Tie a knot at the end of the condom, and you’re good to go!

19 Household Items You Can Use As A Makeshift Dildo

Now, if you’re not feeling adventurous and you just want something quick and easy to handle, I have a list of the best household items you can use instead of a dildo:

#1: Veggies

Veggies are great not only because they’re nutritious, but also because they can serve as a great dildo alternative!

I recommend using a condom with your veggies to avoid unpleasant surprises, and there are so many options to choose from: 

• Cucumber
• Banana
• Carrot
• Zucchini
• Small eggplants
• Non Spicy peppers
• Bunch of asparagus
• Leek
• Corn still on the cob
• Rhubarb

---

#2: Hairbrush

The most popular household item that’s perfect as a dildo is your hairbrush handle. 

Simply wrap it in a condom and go to town!

Try to take out all the hair before you put it inside you, or it can get pretty messy real quick…

---

#3: Shampoo Bottle

Another great item to use as a dildo. 

A lot of shampoo bottles are long and shaped kinda like a penis, so just put a condom on it and enjoy it. 

---

#4: Toothbrush

If a shampoo bottle seems too extreme for you size-wise, it might be a good idea to start small. 

A toothbrush handle is small, yet it can be effective in pleasuring yourself. 

Put a condom on it and see what happens!

---

Any household item that vibrates can easily become a homemade sex toy. Your electric toothbrush, for example, is good for both external and internal stimulation.

Use the handle or the back of the toothbrush head. You can also just get an extra head just for play sessions.

---

#6: Makeup Brush

Now, if you’re into makeup and have some brushes lying around, use them as a homespun dildo!

Don’t use the bristled side, of course, but the handle with a condom. 

Quick tip:

Makeup brushes are not the only makeup item you can use to pleasure yourself. 

Anything can be a great fit here:

• A mascara
• Foundation bottle
• Perfume bottle

Whatever tool doesn’t have sharp edges and can fit inside, you can be a dildo!

---

#7: Open Up Your Tool Case

Handles of tools like hammers and screwdrivers can serve the purpose of the dildo just fine. 

Just be careful not to hurt yourself!

---

#8: TV Remote

Just put it inside the condom if you still want it to work after you’re done pleasing yourself…

---

#9: Candles

Candles are great as dildo alternatives. 

You can find different shapes, sizes, and lengths. 

Also, you can buy a bigger one and carve it with a knife into a shape that you like.

Very versatile!

---

Just break the net part off, put a condom on it, and that’s it!

---

#11: Popsicle

There are plenty of different sizes and shapes of popsicles, choose the one you like and see what feels best!

---

#12: Tree Branches

If you’re a fan of taking a walk in the forest, next time you go, you might want to look for nice branches. 

It can serve the purpose of a dildo quite well, but you do need to be careful not to hurt yourself even when using it with a condom…

---

#13: Drumstick

Drumsticks are good for some light penetration. 

They aren’t very wide and won’t give you that “full” feeling, but the friction can be pleasurable, nonetheless. 

Or, try using both drumsticks at the same time for some extra thickness. 

---

#14: Shower Head

The shower head is one of the most popular DIY clitoral stimulators out there. After all, virtually everyone has it in their home. 

When you’re in the shower, just turn the water pressure up, choose a temperature like, and point the stream to your clit. Move the head slightly back and forth for some extra stimulation. 

This makeshift stimulator is completely safe and even leaves you clean after use! 

---

Most massagers are very intense, as they’re made to work on sore muscles. 

That’s why I advise you to use some kind of barrier to soften the vibrations. Wrap the massager in a t-shirt or blanket before putting it on your clit. 

---

#16: Smartphone App

There are apps made to turn smartphones into homemade vibrators. They make your phone vibrate, just like it vibrates when you get a call.

Your phone isn’t meant to go inside you, but you can use it for external stimulation. 

Most phones don’t have particularly strong vibrations. But if you’re extra sensitive, it just might do the trick. 

---

#17: Video Game Controller

You can play with your game controllers in more ways than one.  

They often vibrate when your character makes a specific move or gets hit. If you play videogames, you know exactly how deep and rumbly the vibrations can be! 

Why not use your controller as an external vibrator by testing your vibration settings or even during gameplay?

---

#18: Electric Razor

This might sound intimidating, but I should point out you’re supposed to REMOVE the razor part. Also, it’s better to use the handle anyway. 

Just like the electric toothbrush, the electric razor has vibrations that can be very pleasurable for external or internal stimulation. 

---

If you’re into temperature play and are already somewhat experienced with it, the ice condom might be right up your alley. 

Fill a condom up with some water and tie the end. Put it in the freezer for a few hours, ideally overnight, until it freezes. Your ice dildo is ready! 

Another way to make an ice dildo is by using a popsicle mold. You’ll get a toy with a nice handle that’s easier to grip and keeps the cold of your fingers. 

You can use it for penetration, or for stimulating other erogenous zones – lips nipples, inner thighs, and so on.

The ice dildo is an extreme temperature play toy, so it’s not for beginners. If you’re interested, start off with something mild.
