7 Simple DIY Ideas to Make Your Own Dildo

Safety First: Is DIY Truly Body-Safe?
Before we dive into the creative world of DIY, let’s talk shop. As a sex toy tester, I’ve seen it all. While repurposing household items is a fun way to explore, there’s a massive difference between a porous kitchen spoon and a Non-Porous Medical-Grade Silicone Dildo.
Household items can have microscopic ridges that trap bacteria. If you’re going to DIY, you must follow these non-negotiable safety rules:
The Lube Logic: Use plenty of Water-Based Lubricant. Never use oil-based products as they can degrade the condom and lead to infections.
The Barrier Rule: Always use a new, non-lubricated condom to cover the object.
7 Simple Ideas to DIY a Dildo
Safety First: Condoms and Lube
Condoms: They create a safe barrier between you and the object, especially important if the material is porous or could attract bacteria. Always use a new, unbroken condom.
Lube: It makes the entry of your DIY dildo smooth and comfortable. It also helps prevent the condom from tearing. Use plenty of lube, especially if you’re using the item anally since the anus doesn’t self-lubricate.
Application Tips
- Apply Lube Generously: Use lube on both the condom and the orifice (anus or vagina). If using anally, use twice the amount of lube compared to vaginal use.
- Check the Condom: Ensure the condom is not expired or damaged.
Marker
Materials
Marker, washcloth, duct tape, cotton balls, band-aid, condom.
Instructions
Fold the washcloth in half, wrap it around the marker, secure it with duct tape, add cotton balls to the tip for a smoother finish, and cover it with a condom.
The Pro Upgrade
Love the slim, firm feel of a marker but hate the prep work? You’ll love our Realistic Slim Dildos. They offer that same precise stimulation but with a textured head and a suction base for hands-free play.
Wooden Spoon
Materials
Wooden spoon, new sponges, rubber bands, cotton balls, condom.
Instructions
Fold the sponges around the wooden spoon, secure them with rubber bands, and add a condom for safety.
The Pro Upgrade
If the handle of a spoon feels good, you’re looking for a “Classic Straight” shape. Skip the splinters and check out our Classic Silicone Dildo Collection. It’s smoother, safer, and stays warm to the touch.
Lemon Juicer
Materials
Lemon juicer, sock, headband, condom.
Instructions
Place the sock around the lemon juicer handle for padding, secure it with a headband, and cover it with a condom for a ribbed sensation.
The Pro Upgrade
If you’re looking for those intense ribbed sensations that a lemon juicer handle mimics, you’ll find much better satisfaction with our Textured & Ribbed Dildos. They are designed specifically for internal stimulation without the need for socks and headbands.
Bubble Maker
Materials
Bubble maker, toilet paper, masking tape, inspirational quote, condom.
Instructions
Rinse out the bubble maker, add toilet paper and masking tape for a skin-like texture, and write an inspirational quote for decoration before covering it with a condom.
Hairbrush
Materials
Hairbrush, oven mitt, ribbon, condom.
Instructions
Insert the hairbrush handle into the oven mitt, secure it with ribbon or sewing, and cover it with a condom for safe play.
The Pro Upgrade
Love the reach and grip of a hairbrush? Our G-Spot & Curved Dildos offer that same ergonomic handle but with a curved tip designed to hit all the right spots safely.
Glow Stick
Materials
Toothbrush holder, glow stick, bubble wrap, packing tape, condom.
Instructions
Crack the glow stick, insert it into the toothbrush holder, wrap it with bubble wrap, secure with packing tape, and cover it with a condom for a unique, see-through experience.
The Pro Upgrade
Enjoy the visual thrill? For a truly unique experience, explore our Glass Dildos or Fantasy Dildo Collection. They offer stunning aesthetics combined with the premium feel of high-end materials.
The Flip Flop
Materials
Flip flop, scissors, duct tape.
Instructions
Cut off the sides of the thong strap, fold the sandal in half lengthwise using duct tape to hold it together, and loop the cut straps with a small strip of tape. The wide base and handle make it ideal for anal play, while a condom keeps it safe and reusable.

- A smooth texture is essential to prevent irritation or discomfort during use. Avoid objects with sharp edges or rough surfaces.
- If your DIY stuff is going to penetrate the mouth, vagina, or anus, it should have something firm to maintain the shape of an erection.
- Many household items may have a suitable shape for a dildo but could have seams or rough edges. It’s essential to eliminate these issues for a pleasurable and safe experience.
Food-Based Dildos
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even create dildos from food items. However, make sure they won’t harm your body if the condom breaks. Here are some do’s and don’ts:
Doables:
- Carrots
- Cucumbers (peel on or off)
- Squash
- Eggplants
- Boiled corn on the cob (for a softer, warmer sensation)
Dil-don’ts:
- Popsicles
- Pickles
- Corn dogs
- Fruits
- Peppers (some may cause discomfort)
And remember, don’t use anything you plan to serve to your friends unless they’ve given their consent for a unique sex toy stir-fry!
