What is a Dual Density Dildo & How Is It Made?

Last Updated on October 22, 2024

If you're new to sex toy terminology, you've probably seen “Dual Density Dildos” for sale online, but do you know what it is?

What exactly does Dual Density skin mean? Do they actually feel realistic? How is a dual layer dildo core different compared to regular silicone realistic dildos? So many questions to answer!

Today, I'll explain exactly what is a dual density dildo and why it can be tricky type of sex toy to buy online when all you have to differentiate between different dildo toys and vibrators are some pictures on a website.

If you're shopping online for a realistic dildo, you'll encounter two different types: The dual density dildo and the single density dildo.

These two types of real penis dildos are so distinguishable from each other, we've separated them into two separate sex toy categories:

1. Realistic Dildos: Made to LOOK real. These are made of materials that are a bit on the rigid side that are easier to insert and good for strap-on use & lively or active fantasy sex.
2. Real Feel Dildos: Made to FEEL real. These are made of soft & pliable materials that are best for slow and gentle sex, but close your eyes and you'll never know it's not a real penis.

They look different, and as you would expect, the experiences are unique for each one too. Today I'll review and compare some of our best dual density dildos (and my personal favorites for the ultimate sexual pleasure) before sending you on your way to buy a dildo you'll really love.

Watch the video demo to see what happens when I squish a dual density dildo with my hand:

You can see the top layer that can be compressed separately from the interior layer. The entire shaft isn't squishy, only the top layer smooshes between my fingers. The core remains sturdy.

Making Dual Layer Dildos More Realistic

If you're looking for the most realistic dildo, you'll quickly notice that pretty much all the sex toys infront of you will be dual skin dildos. It truly is magical how the stacked layers mimic the tissue of an erect penis.

Let's have a quick erection anatomy lesson first: The penis is comprised of multiple layers of sponge like tissue. When sexually stimulated, the tissue fills with blood which firms the tissue and causes the penis to become erect.

Sex toy manufacturers were quick to realize that by replicating this body process through varying densities on the dildo shaft, the end result is something that feels incredibly life like.

The opposite can be called “single density dildos”, although that's not a term you'll ever see, but here I'll use it to denote a sex toy that is one consistent layer throughout.

What are Dual Density Skin Dildos Made Of?

Dual density dildos are made of one of three materials:

1. Silicone
2. TPE - Thermoplastic Elastomer
3. TPR - Thermoplastic Rubber

Which material is best? Honestly, they are all really good. In fact, if you were to ignore the printing on the box, you would hardly be able to determine the material on your own because they feel so similar to the touch.

Silicone sex toys tend to be more expensive while TPE and TPR sex toys are cheaper options, but not lacking in quality. If you are shopping for sex toys on a budget, by all means pick one of the latter sex toy materials, you'll still be one very happy lady.

The Large Size You Crave

One of the nicest features about this type of adult toy is that they come in a vast range of size options. The 8 inch realistic dildo fulfills a sexual fantasy without going overboard. Many women secretly crave a big dick, and luckily if you're going to stuff yourself full of dildo, the real feel dildo is the best choice.

The thick and large dual density dildo is the most comfortable of all big dildos to insert into the vagina. The outer layer compresses as it penetrates the body to ease it in gently. You can literally experience maximums stretch from a thick dildo without discomfort during insertion.

So my piece of Sexpert advice here today for those seeking a large, fat girth is to skip the rubber or gel materials and pick the real skin toys instead. Additionally, when the vagina muscles clench during an orgasm, the soothing skin like surface feels purely decadent inside the body. It really is a premier sexual experience for pure orgasmic joy.

Most Realistic Dual Density Dildos

Not all dual density realistic dildos are part of a collection or line. Most sex toy manufacturers understand the dual density dildo meaning for their bottom line and release some absolutely stunning ultra realistic penis dildos & vibrators. Here are some of our personal top favorites:

Why are Dual Density Dildos So Expensive?

Quality costs more, it's as simple as that. For sex toy manufacturers to craft a dildo with dual layer skin, it's literally two separate process to layer the different materials over top of each other. Furthermore, these two layers need to be molded and blended so that the user cannot distinguish where one ends and the other begins.

To make a rubber dildo is simple - just pour liquid rubber or silicone into a pre-set mold and let it set. The dual layer dildo is much more complex in both materials and hand-made time requirements. labor costs more, materials cost more and this explains why most dual density dildos are twice the price (or more) compared to regular rubber or silicone dildos.

Sex Toy Lube & Cleaning

Lubricant is important with any sex toys, but especially with delicate materials like real skin dildos. Friction will cause it to tear or create micro holes in the surface that can spread and dimple the surface. Here are a few more tips for maintaining your fancy new dildo:

• Use plenty of lube, but pick water based lubricants only. Silicone based formulas can melt the material. Also make sure to clean and wash it properly with sex toy cleaner and pat dry with a lint free towel before storing.
• Dual density realistic dildos with soft skin may dry out over time, especially if you live in a dry climate. You'll see tiny cracks appear in the surface. You want to prevent this from happening as the micro cracks will spread and tear over time.
• You can sprinkle talcum powder over the surface to preserve moisture if you plan on storing the dildo for extended periods of time (ie more than 2 months). Make sure to wash off the talc powder really well before using.
• Use a proper dildo cleaner to clean dual layer skin sex toys. With most other types of dildos it is totally okay to use antibacterial hand soap, but in this case, dual skin dildos are too delicate for these harsh soaps. Dildo cleaners are made specifically to be used with gentle sex toy materials like this.
• Never use silicone based lube with dual density silicone dildos. The silicone compounds will gradually blend together over time deforming the skin on the surface. This won't permanently ruin your toy, but it sill not look as nice anymore (the surface will look like it's melting). Only use water-based lube.
