1 It’s cheap.

Love toys are known to have a range of prices, but oftentimes, not everyone is willing to spend a lot for them. There’s still a general notion that love toys are pricey and unnecessary. However, most household items are priced at wallet-friendly items for everyone since their default purpose is for the house and 

You wouldn’t have to overthink or feel guilty about spending when DIY Dildos won’t break your wallet too much.

As we list down our options for alternative DIY Dildos later on, you’ll realize that if you want to make it work, you will.

3 The options are unique.

We’re talking about fruits, musical tools, and even a kit wherein you can make your own dildo.

Disadvantages of Using Household Items as a DIY Dildo

Browse through this section to learn more about the cons of incorporating house items for your sexual pleasure as a DIY Dildo.

It’s not long-lasting.

Fruits and vegetables, when constantly used, can break. And if you only bought one of them, then there goes your aroused mood. The same applies to any type of brush (makeup, toothbrush, etc), especially when you use them for its actual function. So set your expectations that these alternatives of DIY Dildos we will share later are best for short-term usage.

It can be risky.

Sex toys are made with safety as a main priority for manufacturers. With that, household items against your body as a DIY Dildo can lead to negative effects such as irritation, allergic reactions, or even injury. It also doesn’t go through the quality checks that sex toy companies like us do, so nothing is guaranteed to keep your body safe from harm.

It’s ineffective.

Sex toys are also crafted with the knowledge of the human body, from vulva to penis owners. Household items don’t know that. Thus, it’s not going to be effective in bringing you good sensations as it’s not acquainted with the human body. It can cause a mess around your body if it’s not durable enough.

There are limited options.

Even if you can get creative with possible DIY Dildo ideas, you must filter them out of safety and accessibility. In contrast to actual sex toys, dildos can come in different shapes, sizes, colors, and other special features. They are also guaranteed to be body-safe.

Examples of DIY Dildo at Home

Finally, onto the creative part! Skim through this section for some keen ideas of DIY Dildos as an alternative dildo for your sex life.

Drumstick

Looks like your drums won’t be the only thing getting banged tonight.

These tiny DIY Dildos are thin with a tapered end that’s durable to withstand hard-hitting moments. It’s no question it can be used repeatedly with the drums unless you’re really strong and break them. Drumsticks are either made of wood or plastic. Since wood can develop splinters, you can wrap a condom around it before penetration. But if you want to keep it safe, use the plastic ones (also with a condom on or after being thoroughly cleaned).

Carrot

This triangular vegetable actually resembles the phallic sex toy if used properly. This DIY Dildo has the proper stiffness and length for sexcapades, wherein it measures up to 6 inches on average. They also have a naturally tapered figure, which is ideal for imitating an actual penis. But again, make sure it’s smooth (no ridges) and wrapped around with a condom before insertion. If you need to trim the tip a bit and make it blunt, that works too. 

Also, don’t insert the whole length in!

Toothbrush Handle

This option works for both the electric and regular toothbrushes! So depending on what you have, it can work as a DIY Dildo. For the electric one, it’s made out of metal while the regular one is made of plastic. Some variants can break if you set the pace too high, so take it slow first. For both, cover the handle with a condom and add some lube as you play around with it.

Makeup Brush Handle

Go for the thicker brushes, like powder and blush brushes, if you’re going for girth. But if that doesn’t matter, any long, thick makeup brush handles can make a great DIY Dildo. Diligently wash it away from any makeup residue, use a condom, add some lube if you’re into that, then slide it inside. Instead of giving your face a gorgeous makeover, you’re getting a different type of glow. The after sex-kind of glow.

Hairbrush Handle

Just like the option above, a hairbrush handle is thick so your hand can grip onto it well as you groom your hair. But for a change, your hair is gonna get all messy once you reach those blossoming o’s! Clean the handle, put on a condom on it, maybe take out any strands of hair from the brush out of hygiene, then put some lube on before letting the object enter inside you.

Shampoo Bottle

Yes, this is possible for certain packaging types. If the shampoo bottle you use is long and narrow, with a girth that fits your vulva or anus well, it can be a DIY Dildo. Cover it with a condom and ensure it’s empty before you get all soaked (in pleasure)!

Cucumber

Ah, perhaps the most common DIY Dildo everyone’s seen and heard off. It’s because it’s cheap, firm, and easy to use. What you see is already what you get.

As long it’s ripe and cleaned, it can be inserted in either your vagina or anus. Clean it well and place a condom before doing so; even add lube for more fluid movement. Then as for anal play, don’t put the entire length of the cucumber so you can effortlessly take it out when you’re done.

Banana

Now, this fruit can work as a DIY Dildo for both vulva and penis owners. The curvier, the better to reach the g-spot and p-spot. Use the unpeeled banana with a condom over it, then squirt some lube on it as you slowly thrust inside your openings.

Corn on the Cob

Get a feel of extra textures with this rumbly DIY Dildo. Whether you can find it in the grocery or online, its textured appearance stands out from the smooth options we have stated so far. Thanks to its corn nodules, you’re more likely to unravel new sensations when you insert and play with them. It better be clean and with a condom on. 

Japanese Eggplant

From using it as an emoji when you’re craving for sex, it can actually be a makeshift toy for your sexcapades. Solo or partner play. This type of eggplant is skinnier, curvier, and longer than other eggplants. With that curve, it can stimulate your inner sensitive spots. Peel off the stem before getting it action, and use the thinner end as the tip of the DIY Dildo.

Safety Tips on Using Household Items as a DIY Dildo

Before you can get started and go on your own hunt for DIY Dildos, practice proper sexual safety tips to make your experience hygienic and more enjoyable. Read this section for our top sexual safety on using household toys as a DIY Dildo.

Inspect your health.

Household items require a lot of skill and practice for one to use as a DIY Dildo since its initial function is not for sexual purposes. But before that, you must check on your current health status. For vulva owners, the vagina is a very sensitive place with its own pH. For penis owners, the canal to the prostate is tight and non-lubricating. That said canal is the anus, wherein things can also get lost inside if not taken out immediately. It’s more frightening when it connects to the colon than to the lower intestine. So you must make sure these necessary body parts are healthy. Get checked by a doctor and also check in with yourselves.

Communicate with your partner.

If ever you have intentions of bringing your partner into your interest of using DIY Dildos, give them all the information they need to know. From what the item is, how you’ll use it, and your individual boundaries, it’s important to be on the same page as them. From being excited to being careful. And on top of that, get each other’s consent before doing anything else.

Sterilize your chosen DIY Dildo.

Sex toy companies, such as us here at Lauvette, ensure our products are made with non-porous, body-safe materials to ensure safety for the user while having fun. Using items in our private areas that aren’t made of such materials heightens our risk of getting bacterial or fungal infections. Since household items are crafted with various materials, usually unsafe for body insertion, sterilizing them is the next best thing to do.

Use a condom.

In the case of fruits or vegetables, they are porous. That means they can hold bacteria from their holes that can’t be seen through the naked eye. Even if you clean it, some of the bacteria may remain as is. So even if you don’t get an STI or an unexpected pregnancy, you can get other sexual health infections in your vulva or anus. Thus, wrapping condoms on vegetables can avoid bacteria from entering your respective openings. No matter, wrap it before you tap it.

Lube up!

As you put a condom on your fruit or vegetable of choice, if you’re using them as a DIY Dildo, match it up with water-based lube. It’s recommended to use such with actual sex toys as it makes the experience smoother and pleasurable, so it’s no exception here. It’s also much better to use water-based lubricants than oils which can be difficult to rinse off.

Watch your speed and pace.

A lot of our given DIY Dildoes lack durability. So imagine how much of a bummer it’ll be when it breaks as you gain pleasure. To avoid that, keep your speed slow and controlled. And if you’re eager to go faster, don’t grip too hard on the toy and go beyond what you can’t handle.

Avoid objects with sharp edges or parts.

Your erogenous zones are delicate. Stray away from any objects that have potential dagger-like edges that can scratch through the skin. Sexual pleasure shouldn’t come at a cost.

Clean them diligently.

From start to finish, cleaning is important. It provides more protection for your overall health and also washes away bodily fluids, lubricants, and other remaining residues. It will last longer too when you want to use it again, providing more comfort along the way.

Don’t eat used food.

Once it’s in, don’t bring back it in a different way. Now, read that again. It’s a matter of personal and food hygiene so you don’t get any viruses or infections. And come on, if you think about it, it’s not really a great idea to eat something that you clenched and orgasmed around with. 

Create a budget that’s dedicated to actual love toys.

By doing this tip, you’ll have a safer and more pleasurable experience with sex toys as a whole. You wouldn’t have to worry about the risks, and the care maintenance isn’t as challenging vs. DIY Dildos. Yes, there are pricier ones of high quality, but there are also affordable ones that can deliver the same pleasure. Most of the time, those love toys are made of body-safe material like medical-grade silicone, which can withstand numerous sessions and provide the sensations you desire as it’s attuned to your body.

So surely, DIY Dildos would be a great temporary alternative. But actual sex toys can bring you to a happier future regarding your sex life.

Takeaway

DIY Dildos make an a-okay alternative to actual sex toys when you’re still learning more about your sexual side or on a budget. However, at the end of the day, investing in the latter guarantees safety and hygiene while playing. To check out our collection of dildos, you can check out our website here.
