How to Make a Diy Dildo With Common Household Items

Dildos are awesome; there’s no doubt about it.

Big ones, small ones, knobbly ones, giant ones… I love ’em all.

But there was a time during my teenage years when I had no way of getting my hands on a real one. Price was one barrier. But living with my parents was another. The thought of having to explain away a suspiciously phallic-shaped box arriving in the mail was too much, even for me!

That’s why I started making DIY dildos using common household items. I soon mastered a dozen or so ways of making incredible body-safe dildos for pennies on the dollar.

In today’s post, I’m going to show you the five best “homemade” dildos I ever made with complete instructions so that you can make them too and start fucking yourself (or your partner) in style!

Whether you’re unable or unwilling to fork out top-dollar for a store-bought dildo, or simply find yourself in a bind and need a quick fix, this is the only guide you need!

Safety tips

Before you make a dildo and start getting yourself off vaginally or anally, there are four basic safety precautions to consider.

1. Avoid any material that can shatter or break

Never use a material that can easily shatter, splinter, crack, smash, or otherwise break while it’s inside you. Always test materials thoroughly by hitting them forcefully against a hard surface before using them.

2. Avoid toxic or dirty materials

Never use any toxic or dirty materials to create a dildo as they could cause a vaginal infection or urinary tract infection (UTI). If you aren’t sure about a particular material, do some research first. Always clean every item – preferable with boiling water or steam – before using it.

3. Avoid items with sharp edges

Look for items that are as smooth as possible and watch out for sharp edges, corners, or plastic seams. Sharp areas can break through the condom and cause issues such as Vaginal Microbiota. I’ll give you tips on removing sharp seams later in this guide, so keep reading!

4. Always use a condom and lube

Condoms create a barrier between you and your dildo, helping to block harmful bacteria. When you pair a good latex or non-latex condom with a good lube, or anal lube, it also helps minimize friction.

The best household items to use as a DIY dildo

To make a beginner-sized dildo, you can try any of the following items:

  • Candle
  • pen
  • kitchen spoon or utensil
  • makeup brush
  • lotion bottle
  • hairbrush handle
  • a toothbrush case
  • markers (Sharpie)
  • mascara bottles

If you want to make an intermediate or advanced-sized dildo, the following items work well:

  • Larger candle
  • TV remote
  • hammer handle
  • rake handle
  • larger lotion bottle
  • flashlight
  • baseball bat or plastic bat
  • bubble makers
  • H20 blasters
  • shampoo bottle (avoid ones with a pop-off cap)
  • tennis racket handle

Directions: If the item you choose has any plastic seams or sharp edges, use sandpaper or a nail file to remove them first. Then sterilize the item with boiling water or steam. Cover it with a condom, apply lubricant, and then start enjoying it as a vaginal dildo or an anal dildo!

The Top 5 Do It Yourself Dildo designs

As promised, here are my top five best dildo designs using common household items!

#1. Natural delights

During my teen years, I perfected the art of making amazing vegetable or fruit dildos. Whenever I was feeling horny, and in need of a quick fix, I’d simply rummage through the fridge or kitchen cupboard until I found something I could use.

Before I continue, a few words of caution:

Never use any fruit or veg as a dildo without first covering it in a condom. The surface may still have traces of pesticides, no matter how thoroughly they have been washed, and sugar can easily lead to a genital yeast infection if you use the dildo vaginally.

Don’t use anything that can easily break off or leak – avoid using things like popsicles, corn dogs, peeled bananas, or chili pickles (ouch!). The best food items for making your own dildos are smooth fruits and vegetables such as:

  • carrots
  • cucumbers
  • bananas (unpeeled)
  • zucchinis
  • small eggplants (perfect for hitting the G-spot!)
  • asparagus
  • leeks
  • corn still on the cob
  • rhubarbs

Just make sure you dispose of the vegetables responsibly after use – no putting them back in the pantry!

#2. The Magic Marker

One of the simplest and easiest dildo designs I ever perfected was something I call the ‘Magic Marker’. It’s essentially a marker pen wrapped in a washcloth; the marker pen provides a rigid core, and the washcloth provides a soft exterior. It’s one of the best do-it-yourself dildos you could ever ask for!

You’ll need: A marker pen (like a Sharpie), a washcloth, some duct tape, a few cotton balls, a Band-Aid, and a condom.

How to make: Fold the washcloth and wrap it around the marker pen. Use some duct tape to keep it together and put one or two cotton balls at the end, held in place with a Band-Aid. If you don’t have duct tape or a Band-Aid, you can use a couple of elastic bands. Cover everything with a condom, add some lube, and start getting some sweet relief!

My favorite thing about the Magic Marker design is that it is so versatile. Want it wider? Use a larger cloth. Want it longer? Add a second or even a third marker pen. The possibilities are endless!

#3. Clone-A-Willy Kit

Growing up, I always assumed that making dildos would just be a ‘teenage-thing,’ but alas, even when I met my first serious boyfriend in senior year, I still experienced the occasional penis dry spell.

My beau and I ended up going to college in different states, so we tried doing the whole long-distance thing. My first semester was dry, so I decided to order one of the famous Clone a Willy Kits for when I saw my guy again during the holidays. That way, I’d have something of his to remember him by when we couldn’t be together!

The kit turned out to be one of the best ways of creating a dildo I ever tried! With a little effort, I managed to create a perfect silicone replica of my guy’s cock, complete with a single-speed bullet vibe for some extra oomph.

The molding kit was pretty straight forward to figure out. I just mixed the putty to make a mold of his penis, waited for it to set, then mixed the silicone and poured it into the mold. I then pushed the vibrator into the silicone and waited for it to set. My boyfriend’s biggest challenge was keeping his erection (a cock ring helps btw).

The result? A gorgeous replica of his cock! It was a much-loved sex toy of mine for the rest of our relationship.

#4. The Screwdriver Handle

My quest for the perfect homemade dildo led me to a surprising discovery; many common hand-held tools have handles that are blissfully phallic-shaped! My ‘Screwdriver’ dildo design came about when I was rummaging through an old tool chest and decided to re-purpose a screwdriver. The results were spectacular!

You’ll need: a screwdriver or similar hand-held tool, a nail file or some sandpaper, a washcloth, some bubble wrap (optional), a few elastic bands, a condom, and lube.

How to make: Clean the screwdriver thoroughly with steam or boiling water. Check the surface of the handle for sharp seams that may rip the condom or hurt you. I found the best way to remove plastic seams was by using either a nail file or some sandpaper.

Once the handle is silky smooth, sterilize the entire screwdriver in boiling water to remove dirt and harmful bacteria. Pat it dry and then wrap the whole thing in a washcloth held in place with a few elastic bands. Then simply cover the handle with a condom, add a dab of lube, and start getting busy!

Most screwdriver handles have lovely knobbly exteriors that are sure to delight. But one option is to wrap the handle in bubble wrap with the bubbles facing outwards. This gives it an even more exciting texture when you insert it vaginally!

#5. The Toothbrush Teaser

Over the years, I’ve found many common household items that I can simply wrap a condom around and get busy; a rolling pin, a wooden spoon handle, and a lemon juicer, to name just a few. But, the one thing that consistently got me there, again and again, was my trusty electric toothbrush handle!

You’ll need: an electric toothbrush handle, washcloth or bubble wrap (optional), cotton balls, Band-Aid, duct tape or elastic bands (optional), condom, and lube.

How to make: Take the electric toothbrush handle and wrap the washcloth or bubble wrap around if you want more girth. Put cotton balls in the tip and secure them with a Band-Aid, then tape or hold together with an elastic band, cover with a condom, add some lube, and enjoy!

  1. hi laura, rob here. i read your blog regularly, but this is the first time i’m commenting.

    i wanted to thank you for this blog–truly and deeply.

    my dear wife had sexual trauma as a child…terrible trauma. she’s struggled all her life with sexual shame and self-consciousness, and that affected her desire and her performance. she went to many therapists, but not one of them–not ONE–would discuss how she could improve her sex life by not only giving better love and sex, but also letting herself ACCEPT those things from me. they just said things like “you guys have to discuss it and find out what works best for both of you”. nobody would discuss anything in detail.

    until i found this blog.

    she still struggles from time to time, and that’s ok…it’s perfectly understandable. but your plain, no-bullshit, positive approach to sexuality has done wonders for her–and by extension, for me. hearing sex-positive enthusiasm and straightforward instruction without self-consciousness or shame has helped her so much, especially because it comes from a woman. these days she’s enjoying sexuality so much more, and though she still has distance to cover, she’s feeling better and healing more and more all the time.

    we’re both so grateful.

    on a personal note, i enjoy this blog because you take no cheap shots at men. most women’s publications love including snide little remarks with their “sex ed” articles, things like “Today we’re going to discuss how to make your woman orgasm, because let’s face it, most of you have no idea how.” or they throw in little demeaning remarks like “this is how you make your guy feel like he has a big penis, even though (let’s be honest) he probably doesn’t.”

    that sort of bs is damaging to the self-esteem and does nobody any good–guys or girls.

    but you’re different. your blog is fair and loving toward EVERYONE. you don’t just instruct on sexuality–you celebrate it. you show how we all should be able to enjoy and celebrate sexuality as a fun, natural activity without demeaning anyone or placing guys or girls above the other. it’s extremely refreshing.

    i greatly enjoy your no-nonsense articles that show men and women how to please their partners–and themselves–equally. because we all equally deserve and need sexual enjoyment and the love that comes with it. women aren’t “superior goddesses” because of their genitalia or their ability to have multiple orgasms, and guys aren’t “creeps” or “perverts” or “needy” because they enjoy deepthroats, masturbation sleeves, or anal. we’re all just human beings who have sexual wants and needs–none of us is bad or wrong for having and enjoying our desires.

    you speak without fear, shame, or guilt…and that’s true power. you empower people, helping them defeat learned shame and guilt, and helping them learn that they don’t have to live up to impossible “goddess” standards, “embrace their inner slut”, or be “multi-orgasm-giving machines” in order to get and give healthy, fulfilling, hot sex.

    you totally get that, and i genuinely love that about you. truly. love. the real thing. <3 there seem to be so few people who really get this in today's world, and you're one of those special few who can tell it like it is without resorting to cheap shots or certain language that places one person above or below others.

    you're like a wise, liberated mom, aunt, or kindly village witch who cuts out the bullshit and spreads knowledge, wisdom, and positivity with a gentle smile and the genuine desire for people to enjoy life, to enjoy sex, to enjoy love, and to feel good about themselves and their partners.

    you certainly helped my dear wife feel much better about herself. she carried around untold burdens about sexuality and love, not to mention guilt about enjoying sex–then hating herself for it half an hour later. hating herself for wanting sex, then hating herself for enjoying it…then hating herself because she couldn't give sex and love freely of herself without all that emotional baggage attached.

    your simple, easy, yet comprehensive writings are so much more valuable than you may realize. there's a ton of healthy power in your articles. things like "How to Suck a Dick" are so much more helpful and straightforward than 99% of the content out there.

    straightforward, wise, knowledgeable…unapologetic about joyful sexuality and happy, loving vibes with no guilt, shame, or unnecessary mysticism attached.

    pure….gold.

    my wife was drowning in her suffering…no emo, no exaggeration. at some stages, she wanted to die because she couldn't give or receive sexuality and love. but now those destructive, negative emotions are slowly dying off…and now, she's awakened. she's alive again, after a whole lifetime of never believing such liberty and happiness were possible. never believing she was worth giving or receiving love.

    and i was drowning in sadness and loneliness too, feeling alone and unloved, isolated, and like i didn't deserve to be loved…didn't deserve to enjoy sexual gratification because i shouldn't expect it from someone who couldn't give it. so much terrible misery and self-loathing. and now that's all over.

    she lives again. in a way, you helped to save her life…and mine.

    thank you so much for creating this special, wonderful content. we just can't thank you enough.

    please keep creating this beautiful, loving work. we support you 100%. thank you for taking sex out of the darkness and shadows and into the warm, loving light where it belongs–helping it be no more the product of shame, guilt, dirtiness, or vulgarity, but helping transform humanity's feelings about sexuality into the natural, positive, healthy, beautiful (and sometimes a beautiful mess!), and vital act of loving expression and sharing it is.

    love you lots, laura. a dear friend and mentor, helping so many people step out of the shadows and into the sunlight. <3

    yours sincerely,
    Rob
