1. DIY Suction Cup Dildo

This DIY dildo, I created for our DIY anal toy blog post and certainly has a great place here! All you need for this homemade dildo is the following:

• Small, sink-sized plunger like this
• Large car wash sponge, like this
• Condoms

Step 1

Be careful when doing this step. First, using a sharp knife, cut a slit in the bottom of a large, car wash sponge. Work the knife upward, creating a pocket for the plunger handle. Be sure an leave plenty of room at the top of the sponge for tip padding.

Step 2

Next, slide the sponge onto the plunger handle, leaving several inches at the top so your dildo will feel natural and rounded going in.

Step 3

Next, using scissors, trim each side of the sponge to your desired girth. For instance, you can trim more for a slimmer dildo or less for a thicker one. You can even cut shapes for a bumpy texture.

Step 4

Finally, cover the sponge with a condom! And there you have it; a DIY suction cup dildo for vaginal AND anal use!

Tips for Using the DIY Suction Cup Dildo

Here are some great tips for modifying and using the DIY suction cup dildo. First, consider shortening the handle of the plunger to your liking. Keep in mind that you will have to cut from the top, since the bottom of the handle screws into the plunger. Therefore, once you cut the handle to the desired length, you’ll have to sand the edges a bit so they don’t poke through the sponge.

Second, you can also wrap cellulose sponges around the wooden handle to make the homemade dildo thicker and squishier in texture. Furthermore, you’ll need a sponge for each side and must tape each set of two, as you go. Fortunately, that will give your homemade dildo an interesting shape! Finally, this is more of a utilization tip.

Stick your DIY dildo to a wall, the bathtub or shower wall for more comfortable vaginal penetration, especially if you are new to using a dildo. And finally, make sure you use a lot of water-based lubricant for a slippery and sensual ride!

Product Recommendations Instead of DIY Dildos

You can purchase suction cup dildos if you prefer not to go through the hassle of creating a DIY dildo. First I would recommend this 7” curved suction cup dildo made from smooth silicone for under $30. Or, if you prefer some titillating vibration in your dildo, this 8” realistic suction cup dildo has 10 exciting speeds of vibration for under $40.

Finally, vagina owners should snatch up one of these rabbit vibrator suction cup dildos for unsurpassed, handsfree stimulation both inside and out! And it’s a steal for under $40!

2. Bouncy Ride-On DIY Dildo

Next up on our list of DIY dildos is a bouncy, ride-on dildo you can used 2 ways. Here’s what you’ll need for this homemade dildo.

• This type of sink plunger
• Piece of sandpaper
• Condom

Step 1

These plastic plungers usually have a seam of plastic at the top. So, to keep things smooth and comfortable, sand down any ridges or seams.

Step 2

The last step is to place a condom over the handle and bounce away.

Tips for Using the Bouncy Ride-On DIY Dildo

Since this homemade dildo has a very wide bottom, it’s appropriate for both anal and vaginal use. However, try wrapping the handle in sponge and securing with duct tape. That way you will have a thicker and softer shaft to enjoy.

In addition, to use this DIY dildo, place it on a non-slip surface, place a towel under it, or use it on the bed. Then mount it from above. Or, lie on your back, stuff a pillow into the open, accordion area, and ride it that way.

Product Suggestions

You can make a DIY dildo or simply invest in a safe and comfortable dildo that won’t break the bank! First, this Lovehoney Slimline dildo is not realistic in form, and has a suction cup that holds tight. Plus, it’s only $19.99! Next, I suggest the Tantus Charmer G-Spot or P-Spot Dildo that features stimulating bumps to thrill the vagina or anus. Finally, I highly recommend the Lovehoney Heart Pounder suction cup dildo featuring silky smooth silicone and adorable hearts throughout.

3. DIY Dildo with a Baby Bottle

If you love a thicker dildo, then this DIY is right up your alley!

This is another DIY dildo that just popped into my head when I saw the item on the shelf. Yes, a baby bottle. Consequently, the way it was packaged, at the Dollar Tree, made it look so dildo-like, that the fact that it was a baby bottle, disappeared from my mind. Therefore, if you can find a bottle like this, with the cap, it makes a perfect homemade sex toy! Here’s what you need:

• Baby bottle with rounded cap
• Sponge
• Rubber band
• Condom

Step 1

First, remove the cap and unscrew the baby bottle nipple rim. Cut two strips of sponge that reach all the way around the rim. What this does is cover a gap in the smoothness when used for penetration.

Step 2

Place the two strips of sponge around the bottle, below the area on which the rim screws. Secure them with a rubber band. Next, screw the rim back on place and replace the cap.

Step 3

Finally, place a condom over the bottle. This DIY dildo is thick and perfectly shaped for those who love the full feeling with penetration.

4. DIY Dildo Using a PVC Pipe

If you happen to have some narrow pieces of PVC pipe laying around, you can transform it into a quick and easy-to-make dildo that’s got a lot of length to satisfy. In this case, I had a narrow piece of pipe from a broken kitty window seat! Here is everything you need:

• Piece of PVC pipe in a size you like – I’m using a thinner piece.
• Makeup blending sponge
• Wash cloth
• Rubber bands
• Condom

Step 1

First, push the makeup blending sponge into the end of the pipe.

Step 2

Next, wrap a washcloth around the full length of the pipe, making sure the edge is right at the bottom of the makeup sponge. Now, secure the wash cloth in place using several rubber bands.

Step 3

Finally, cover your creation with a condom and you have a long, satisfying DIY dildo you can use over and over again!

Products for Size and Length Kings and Queens

Sure, you’re likely making a DIY dildo to scratch an urgent sexual itch. I totally get it. However, please consider ordering yourself a body-safe, long-lasting dildo that will make your solo sessions the best they can be. First, for those who love a thick ride, try the King Cock suction cup dildo for a realistic feel and a fit that will have you screaming for more.

But for those wanting that delicious length, take a look at the Doc Johnson Rambone 13.5” dildo. Make this guy your BFF and he will help you reach the spots you only dreamed of! Or, if you want all that goodness – length and girth – the Cock Locker Inflatable Monster Dildo with a full 11” of length and an inflation bulb will make him as thick as you choose.

5. Homemade Fisting Dildo

This dildo is a bit out of the ordinary yet will work for beginners and experts alike; all depending upon how you use it! Plus, this one makes a great, safe DIY anal toy too. Here is what you need to make it:

• Bag of cotton balls
• Medical gloves (size matters!)
• A chopstick or other object to assist with stuffing

Step 1

Begin stuffing the glove with cotton balls, concentrating on the fingers first. You may need a chopstick or pencil to push the cotton balls to the end of each finger. Make sure you cram them in there tightly, so the fingers stand firmly, on their own.

Step 2

Next, turn your attention to the palm of the glove. Be sure and stuff the area tightly as you’ll want the hand to be firm. Next, be sure and leave enough room at the bottom to tie the opening shut.

Step 3

Tie a knot in the opening of the glove, as you would a balloon.

Step 4

Finally, use water-based lubricant on the areas of the gloves you want to put inside you and enjoy this unique DIY dildo. Here, I am showing two different sizes of gloves to illustrate how the sizes vary. That way, you can make your fisting dildo the size you desire.

Tips for Using the DIY Fisting Dildo

First, since you have used a medical glove, there will be no need for a condom. On the contrary, you can lube the DIY fisting dildo with a good water-based lubricant. Or, beginners can use this DIY dildo for vaginal or anal penetration by simply using the fingers. However, the size queens can gather the fingers together, insert them all, followed by the hand for a DIY fisting dildo that will have you gushing.

Just be sure and hang on to the knot you tied in the glove!

Alternatives to the DIY Fisting Dildo

If you are craving that full feeling only fisting can fulfill, try this realistic fisting dildo. However, if you want this DIY dildo for beginning vaginal penetration, allow me to suggest this soft and lovely, slimline dildo for only $14.99. But if you’re a newbie at bottom play, try this beginner, silicone butt plug for comfort and safety.

6. Cooking Utensil DIY Dildo

Supplies Needed:

• Silicone coated whisk
• Toilet tissue
• Condom

Step 1

First, roll or fold toilet tissue and stuff it into the center of the whisk. This keeps it flexible without it completely collapsing.

Step 2

Next, cover the whisk end with a condom and enjoy!

Remember, since this DIY dildo doesn’t have a flared base, don’t use it as an anal dildo.

However, you can use the handle end instead of the whisk end. Plus, you can wrap a wash cloth around the handle, before placing a condom, to make it a bit thicker.

7. DIY Dildo Using a Permanent Marker

Thick markers make easy homemade dildos with some quick modifications. I happened to find this oversized marker at the Dollar Tree!

Supplies Needed:

• Large marker
• Pair of socks – knee or crew socks work best
• Condom

Step 1

First, drop the marker into the foot of a knee or crew length sock.

Step 2

Next, wrap the top of the sock around the marker and secure with a rubber band.

Step 3

Now, place a condom over your DIY dildo and enjoy!

Also, you can put one sock inside the other to make your homemade dildo thicker. Or, use a thicker or thinner weight sock to adjust the girth to whatever feels best to you. But if you don’t have a fat marker lying around the house, try this alternative!

Toothbrush Holder Homemade Dildo

Toothbrush holders are great for travel. But they also make the perfect base for a DIY dildo. All you need is a toothbrush holder, a pair of crew or knee socks, a rubber band and a condom. Then, simply follow the instructions above and enjoy.

8. Candle DIY Dildo

Tapered candles are shaped perfectly for making a homemade dildo. Plus, they are longer than some household items, giving you deeper pleasure. However, since they are thin and can break easily, you’ll want to add a little girth, as well as a soft tip to make insertion more comfortable.

Supplies You Need

• Taper candle
• Wash cloth
• Rubber bands
• Makeup blending sponge
• Condom

Step 1

First, wrap the candle in a washcloth or two, depending on how thick you prefer your sex toy. Make sure you leave the tip of the candle and wick exposed.

Step 2

Next, secure the washcloth by using rubber bands.

Step 3

Now, take the makeup blending sponge and poke a hole in the bottom using pointed scissors. Then, using your finger, make the hole bigger.

Step 4

Next, place the make up sponge on the exposed end of the candle, working it down ¾ of the way through the sponge so it won’t slip off.

Step 5

Finally, place a condom over your homemade dildo and have some quality me time.

Remember, to make your candle dildo thicker, consider wrapping a hand towel around it or padding it with sponges.

9. Two Easy Steps to Make a Bubble Wand DIY Dildo

Spring and summer are the best times to find bubble wands. And they make the perfect DIY dildo because they have a wonderful texture and a nice length. Plus, when you’re finished, remove the condom and you have a tube of bubbles to play with.

What You Need

• Bubble wand
• Cotton balls
• Condom

Step 1

First, open your condom and carefully stuff the end with about 4 cotton balls.

Step 2

Now, unroll the condom over the bubble wand and have some quality time with your bubble wand dildo! However, if you prefer a thicker dildo, simply wrap the wand in a wash cloth and secure with rubber bands before slipping the condom on.

10. DIY Ice Dildo

Creating a DIY ice dildo is easy, inexpensive and an exiting way to add some temperature play to your sexual routine. Here’s what you’ll need to make one, or two!

Things You’ll Need

• Condom
• Cardboard paper towel roller

Step 1

Unroll a condom and let it hang down inside the paper towel roll. Then, fold about 2 inches of the condom over the top of the tube.

Step 2

Next, fill the condom with water slowly, until you get close to the top.

Step 3

Then, place the paper towel roll and water filled condom into the freezer, standing upright. Freeze overnight.

Step 4

Now, remove your creation from the freezer and tie the end of the condom as you would a balloon. Next, take off the cardboard roll and you’re ready to use your DIY ice dildo.

Although this process is relatively easy to follow, you can check out my ice dildo blog post for step-by-step photos. Plus, there are other easy ways you can create a DIY ice dildo using other supplies.

11. DIY Drink Bottle Thick Dildo

Sometimes you just need a really thick plaything to get the job done. And no other DIY dildo scratches that itch like one made from a drink bottle. For instance, you can use a small soda bottle or a designer water bottle, like I’ll be using. Either way, just be sure the bottle you choose is made of thick plastic so it won’t collapse while you’re using it.

Supplies Needed

• Thick drink bottle
• Cellulose sponge
• Rubber bands
• Condom

Step 1

First, fold the cellulose sponge in half, over the cap of the bottle. Then, secure the sponge with the rubber bands. This makes for a smoother transition between the neck and the body of the bottle.

Step 2

Next, trim the corners of the sponge so it’s more rounded.

It should look like this when finished.

Step 3

Finally, carefully put a condom over top of the bottle. Be sure and use copious amounts of lubricant so you can enjoy your thick, homemade dildo.

12. Water Blaster DIY Dildo

Summer time is the perfect time to make a trip to the seasonal department of your local Dollar Tree! That is because they carry some inexpensive, phallic shaped summer toys that make perfect homemade dildos. Along with the bubble wands above, I grabbed this water blaster, as it’s long, strong and has a lovely, tapered tip.

But since it is a bit on the narrow and hard side, here is how you can make this water blaster more comfortable for your self-pleasure. Here’s what you’ll need:

• A pair of knee-length socks
• Rubber bands
• Condom
• Duct tape

Step 1

First and foremost, you’ll need to secure the plunger to the main shaft of the water blaster using duct tape.

Step 2

Next, take the socks and place them over the water blaster, one at a time. But if you’d like a thicker, more cushiony dildo, add more socks or wrap a wash cloth over top the socks. Then, secure everything using rubber bands.

Step 3

Finally, cover your DIY long lover with a condom and you have the perfect homemade dildo for those hot, summer nights.

13. DIY Dildo Using a Hair Brush

A hair brush is one of the easiest ways to make a DIY dildo. Plus, it can be used anally since it has a wide base. And although you can use your imagination to add padding to your hair brush, here is a way to make a homemade dildo using your brush and some sponges. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Hairbrush
• 2 cellulose sponges
• Rubber bands
• Condom

Step 1

First, fold the first sponge, short ways, over the end of the brush handle. Then, secure the bottom of the sponge with a thick, rubber band.

Step 2

Next, wrap the second sponge around the brush handle, underneath the first sponge. Then, secure that sponge on the top and bottom with rubber bands.

Step 3

Next, trim the corners of the top sponge, so it has a more rounded shape.

It should look something like this when finished.

Step 4

Finally, cover both sponges with a condom and you have a quick and easy DIY dildo made from a hair brush.

14. Squirt Bottle DIY Dildo

Look around at your personal care products and I’m sure you’ll find a squirt or spray bottle that’s the perfect size and shape to create a DIY dildo. For example, I had this bottle of leave-in conditioner that’s the perfect size to satisfy. But before you start getting freaky with your product bottle, here are a few modifications you can make so your homemade dildo feels amazing.

Supplies You’ll Need

• Small product bottle with a squirt top and cap
• Wash cloth
• Rubber bands
• Duct tape
• Makeup blending sponge
• Condom

Step 1

First, if you still have the cap to the product bottle, secure it with duct tape.

Step 2

Next, roll the bottle up in a was cloth, leaving the cap exposed. Then, secure in several places with rubber bands, making sure to wrap one around the cloth under the bottle, so it doesn’t slip off.

Step 3

Next, cut a slit across the bottom of a makeup blending sponge. Then, using your fingers, open up the center so that it fits over the bottle cap. Alternatively, you can use a household sponge, folded across the top and secured with a rubber band – just be sure and trim it so that it’s rounded. Finally, secure the sponge with a bit of duct tape, pull the wash cloth up and hold it in place with another rubber band.

Step 4

Last, but not least, roll a condom over your handmade dildo and have some quality, steamy solo time.

15. Stuffed Condom DIY Dildo

This simple DIY dildo is extremely easy to make and can be tucked away and reused again! All you need for this project is a condom, preferably a stronger type, and some cotton balls!

Step 1

First, take the condom out of the package and unroll it completely.

Step 2

Next, grab some cotton balls and wet them with warm water.

Step 3

Stuff the wet cotton balls into the condom, 1 or 2 at a time. Then, squeeze and shape the cotton balls as you go, filling the condom a couple of inches from the top.

Step 4

Finally, tie the end of the condom, as you would a balloon. Then add a little water-based lube and enjoy a soft, warm solo session. Once you’re finished, rinse well and wrap in a plastic bag to reuse. Or pat dry and place in the freezer for some exciting temperature play next time around.

16. The 5 Best Fruits and Vegetables for DIY Dildos [+Alternatives]

Okay, so you probably won’t want to actually eat any of these fruits and veggies after making love to them, but hey, if that’s your thing, let that flag fly!

Some fruits and vegetables are the perfect size and shape for penetration, thus making perfect DIY dildos. But as convenient as they are, there are a few things to keep in mind if you want to use food as a homemade dildo. Those things are:

• Make sure the fruit or vegetable is firm and will not break off inside you.
• Be sure and wash any fruit or vegetable, you want to use as a DIY dildo, thoroughly. That way, you’ll remove any dirt, germs and pesticides before use.
• Last, but not least, never use a fruit or vegetable in your bum, as they do not have a wide, safety base. However, several fruits and vegetables can be used as DIY anal dildos of you create a safety base.

#1 Corn on the Cob

I’ve decided it’s not necessary to make a DIY dildo out of every single thing listed here, as you’re all intelligent people. However, I want to touch on some important aspects of each type of produce so your experience is the best it can be. For example, corn on the cob makes an excellent DIY dildo with stimulating texture.

But before you grab a packaged, cleaned corn on the cob, know that unshucked corn makes a better DIY sex toy, as it comes to a point at the end. Plus, there’s a stem at the opposite end to hold onto. So, here are some steps to take in order to use corn on the cob as a homemade dildo.

Step 1

Shuck the corn by pulling down and removing the husks. Next, remove all of the silk.

Step 2

Look at the end of the corn and see how flexible it is. If it’s too loose feeling, cut it down a bit. However, it’s important to leave the corn on the cob more narrow at the end so insertion will be more comfortable.

Step 3

Wash the corn well, removing any stray pieces of silk. Next, pat dry with a towel. Then, place a condom over the corn and there you have it, a bumpy, firm and thick DIY dildo to enjoy!

Finally, since corn on the cob has an extremely strong center, it makes a great DIY anal dildo so long as you use the homemade base above.

#2 Cucumber

Cucumbers make perfect do-it-yourself dildos! They are very firm, come in all lengths and girths and are virtually unbreakable when used as a sex toy. But, before using a cucumber as a homemade dildo, be sure and wash it thoroughly as well as removing any rough spots that could tear your condom. Then, slip a condom over the cucumber and enjoy!

Unfortunately, I don’t recommend cucumbers as DIY anal dildos as the interior is extremely wet and soft. As a result, they can easily slip off the handmade base and get lost inside of you.

#3 Carrots Make Great Beginner DIY Dildos

Carrots are nice and firm and come in all sorts of sizes. Therefore, they make great beginner DIY dildos. Additionally, if you find carrots with thick bottoms, they also can be used with the homemade safety base as homemade anal dildos. So, before using a carrot, be sure to wash it well while removing the pointy end, as it can easily break off.

Then, use a knife or vegetable peeler to round the end and smooth out any rough spots.

Next, apply a condom and enjoy!

#4 Zucchini and Squash Homemade Dildos

Zucchini and other types of squash make interesting DIY dildos as they come in dozens of varieties, shapes and colors. Therefore, they make excellent homemade dildos for vaginal penetration. And some varieties work for anal penetration too, with and without the homemade safety base. That is, as long as the base of the squash is too wide to fit inside your anus. Think eggplant.

So, as with any other fruit of vegetable, wash your DIY dildo thoroughly with soap and water. Then apply a condom so it feels smooth and has some lubricant. Finally, slip into bed with your homemade toy and enjoy some quality solo sex.

#5 Banana DIY G-Spot Dildo

The natural curve of a banana makes it ideal as a DIY dildo to stimulate the g-spot. However, because the interior of the banana is far too soft, it is not a fruit that can be used for anal penetration. So, before using a banana for solo fun, be sure and wash it well and make sure the bottom isn’t so rough that it pokes through the condom.

If you have any sand paper or a nail file around, smooth out the bottom of the banana. Then, slip on a condom and use the bottom part to stimulate your g-spot. But make sure the banana isn’t too ripe, as the riper they are, the softer they are. As a result, the banana can fall apart easily. Therefore, make sure your banana DIY dildo has a bit of green on it so it stays nice and firm.

Why Make a DIY Dildo?

Why would someone want to make a DIY dildo? Well, there are several reasons why. First, this may be their first time wanting to try penetration. Or, for some reason or another, they haven’t been introduced to the wonderful world of sex toys. And finally, it could be due to a past relationship, religious reasons or not having access to buy real sex toys.

No matter what the reason, we aren’t here to judge. Furthermore, we would rather you know of a safer way to create a DIY dildo instead of just cramming any ole thing into your vagina and risking injury or infection.

Are DIY Dildos Safe?

DIY dildos can be safe as long as you read the precautions below and make sure you follow the safety steps. However, all of us at Bedbible would rather you use a real sex toy, as it will feel better and give you pleasure for many years to come. So, here it comes…. The disclaimer.

BedBible is not responsible for any accidents, injuries or infections to anyone as a result of using any of these DIY dildo tips below. This is purely for entertainment purposes and we are not encouraging anyone to use a homemade dildo. That being said, read on for more safety information.

Safety Precautions for Using a Homemade Dildo

Going back to the birds and the bees, it’s common knowledge that penises are made for penetration. And whether you choose a penis to go in your vagina or bottom, it must be firm in the middle and soft on the outside in order to be comfortable.

Likewise, if you don’t like penises in any part of your body, a surrogate item for penetration must also be cushioned so it doesn’t cause pain while banging around inside. Therefore, any homemade dildo should be padded for your comfort and safety.

Sex Toys Instead of DIY Dildos

Always use an actual sex toy for masturbation, as they are made specifically for that purpose. And if you don’t happen to own one yet, we highly suggest ordering one from any of our trusted partners, like Lovehoney, Adam and Eve, or Too Timid. Or if you can’t order online, find a lingerie and adult product store nearby or check the intimate hygiene aisle of your local pharmacy or Target store.

But if you absolutely cannot wait, please make note of these safety precautions when making a DIY dildo. As a result, you could avoid injury and infection.

Make Sure It’s Smooth

Make sure that anything you place inside your body is smooth. That is because your vagina and anus are made up of a delicate, mucous membrane that can scratch, tear and become infected easily. Therefore, if you want to make a DIY dildo, make sure that it’s soft and smooth with no sharp edges, splinters, or broken areas that could harm you.

It Must Be Unbreakable

Never, ever put anything into your vagina or anus that can break. And that includes a DIY dildo. That’s why you will not find anything glass in our homemade sex toy blogs. So, make sure that anything you use for a DIY dildo cannot break, tear or come apart inside of you.

After all, that would make for an embarrassing ER visit and an injury that would not be comfortable.

Never Use a DIY Dildo in Your Bum

Never use a DIY dildo in your bum. The reason for this is that a dildo doesn’t have a flared base. And without a flared base, a homemade dildo can slip past your sphincter and get lost in the depths of your bowels. And speaking of embarrassing ER visits…. That would be the worse! So, if you absolutely must stick something up your bum, please pay close attention to the exceptions.

Homemade Anal Dildo Exceptions

There are exceptions to using a DIY dildo for anal masturbation. For instance, if it has a very wide base, it’s safer to use. A great example of that is the Suction Cup DIY Dildo below. Because the base of this dildo is too large to go inside of you, it is much safer to use. In addition, you can scroll down and learn how to make a DIY anal sex toy base that you can use for certain fruits and vegetables.

Keep It Clean!

When making a DIY dildo, make sure whatever you are using is clean! For example, if you are trying any of the mentioned fruits or vegetables as a homemade dildo, make sure you wash it thoroughly before use. That way, you remove all of the dirt, germs, and pesticides from the produce. In addition, if you use a tool or any other household item, be sure and wash it well with soap and water before using it.

If you don’t clean your DIY dildo parts, it can result in infection, transfer of bacteria or viruses, and potentially cause painful rashes.

Use a Condom

Use a condom, no matter which DIY dildo you decide to make. A condom will act as a barrier against any dirt, germs or bacteria you missed when cleaning. Plus, it will keep any small parts from getting lost inside of you if, by chance, a piece comes loose. In addition, you simply remove the condom when finished and your DIY dildo goes back to being whatever it was to begin with.
