If you are in search of a new dildo, you may want to go metal! Metal dildos are made from stainless steel, which can give you a smooth experience from beginning to end.
Plus, metal dildos are reliable, easy to store, and don’t break. I’m a bit of a klutz. If you’re like me, you won’t need to worry if you drop your dildo when things get a little intense!
This post will look at the world of metal dildos and recommend seven that you’re going to love.
As a fan of metal dildos, I wanted to introduce them to newcomers to the sex toy world or those who have been team silicone and want to make a switch.

What To Consider Before Buying A Metal Dildo?
If you go to your local sex shop or look online, you’ll immediately notice that these stores have a wide variety of metal dildos to choose from.
So, what are some considerations that will help you narrow down your search? Let’s look at several of them.
- Budget. How much money are you willing to spend on metal dildos? Metal is a material that you don’t want to get too cheap on, but there are still budget metal dildos available. On the other hand, you may want to spend more to get the highest quality experience.
- Size and weight. Do you want a large dildo or something tiny and discreet? Also, how much do you want in the weight department? Metal dildos tend to weigh more than other materials, so this question is essential.
- Where are you going to stick the dildo into? Your anus? Your vagina? Both? Different metal dildos are designed for various types of play.
- Design and texture. Most metal dildos are sleek, but some have a bit more texture or an exciting shape.
- Who is using it? Is it for you? A partner? Both? This question can help you find the right metal dildo for your situation.
- Do you want vibration? If so, would you like the dildo to be waterproof or use rechargeable batteries? I did an article about large vibrating dildos which you can read here.
These questions will help you get started with choosing a dildo that is right for you. Once you narrow down your selection, it’s easy to find the perfect dildo for you.
What Are The Different Types of Metal Dildos to Choose?
When you’re looking at your local sex shop, you may notice there are several types to choose from, such as.
Smooth
Most metal dildos will have a smooth surface. This type works great for beginners who don’t want anything extravagant.
Of course, you don’t need to be a newbie to enjoy smooth dildos. It’s like ordering an old favorite at a fast food place. Sometimes, it hits the spot.
Textured
These metal dildos may have ridges and bumps along their surface. The feeling can be pretty intense, so choose this type if you’re feeling more adventurous.
Anal
These metal dildos have a shape designed to fit perfectly inside the anus. Also, anal dildos may have a specific curve to them, which will help you reach the P-spot.
The p-spot is your prostate, and the orgasms it can bring can feel heavenly!
Vibrator
These dildos vibrate. Usually, they are powered by either traditional batteries or a USB-rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
The 7 Best Metal Dildos
Now, let’s look at seven dildos that will rock your world! I chose these dildos based on my own personal preferences alongside the fact they feel great! Let’s look at some of them.
1. njoy Pure Wand Stainless Steel Dildo – Best Overall
The best metal dildo had to be one that was a real crowd-pleaser. I wanted something that would please all needs, and I think I found one.
The njoy (I’m not making a typo; this is how it’s spelled!) brand makes some flawless dildos, and this one is a crowd favorite.
It’s perfectly curved to hit both your G or P-spot, and it even works as a decent massager. No matter where you put it, you need not worry; this dildo can take it.
See, njoy uses medical-grade stainless steel, so you’re getting the good stuff.
You don’t need to worry about it breaking, rusting, or any of the other horrors associated with a dildo gone wrong.
This dildo is also double-sided. One side has a 3-inch ball, and the other has 5.5 inches.
Because of this, the dildo works excellent for newbies or for someone wanting something a bit thicker.
With 8 insertable inches and a circumference of 5.5, it pleases most in this way as well.
Finally, another benefit this dildo has is its weight. Many metal dildos feel too heavy, but this 1.5 lb dildo is the perfect balance between weight and comfort.
So, what are the downsides? The biggest one is that it’s expensive. If you’re on a small budget, you may need to look elsewhere.
But metal dildos are worth investing in, as the cheapies can be dangerous. Cheap metal dildos may rust or flake off in use, and that’s no fun.
Invest in a stainless steel dildo, and you’ll have something to last you a good while.
Pros
- It is made from medical-grade stainless steel.
- Double-ended.
- It is curved to reach the best spots ideally.
Cons
- It is expensive.
2. ElectraStim Bi-Polar Electrosex Wave Metal Dildo 7 Inch – Best Electric Metal Dildo
Electric play is one that I was a bit skeptical of when I heard about it the first time. After all, why would I shock myself?
Then, I decided to try it after a few drops of liquid courage, and I had a great time. Some sensations were a bit much, but when I told my partner to lower the intensity, it felt so good.
This dildo can be attached to an ElectraStim unit.
Once you do so, it has 5.5 insertable inches and a 3.5-inch circumference, giving you a full feeling while also giving you some electrifying shocks. The design is great.
This dildo has a wavy look to it, which you will feel when it goes into you.
With that said, there are some caveats. First, the dildo requires an ElectraStim power unit to give you electrical power.
On its own, it’s a quality stainless steel dildo, but it won’t electrocute you. For the price, I thought it would include the unit itself, but no.
This fact may scare off a few people who are on a smaller budget. But if you can invest in this attachment and the ElectraStim unit, I swear it’s worth it!
Pros
- Amazing electrical power.
- Perfect length and width for most.
- Has a nice design to it.
Cons
- It needs an ElectraStim unit for it to work!
3. njoy Fun Wand – Best Steel Wand Dildo
This toy indeed looks like a strange wand, with one side curved and the other having giant beads at its end.
The purpose of this dildo is if you want both oral and G-spot fun, along with a bit of anal thanks to the balls. So it’s an all-in-one! Wait, I’m not done!
This dildo makes for a killer massager as well!
At 8 insertable inches, this dildo can satisfy most people, and its 3.5-inch circumference will make you feel full without making you uncomfortable.
The only con I can think of is that it’s a little pricey, like most of njoy’s lineup. But you get what you pay for, and it’s not the most expensive item on this list. That’s the next one!
Pros
- It can satisfy most desires.
- Quality stainless steel.
- Perfect length and width for most.
Cons
- A tad pricey.
4. njoy 11- Best Big Metal Dildo
What if you want something BIG? Large metal dildos can be intimidating, feeling more like you’re holding a weapon.
But some women love the challenge! Enter the njoy 11! This dildo is 9 insertable inches long and 2 inches wide, meaning it will satisfy most thrill-seekers!
It’s about as wide as a soda can, for reference.
The dildo has two ends, with one being smooth and the other having bumps. This means you can share it with a partner, or have it all to your own!
As you insert it inside of you, realize that you have a dildo made with the highest quality stainless steel possible!
With that said, this dildo is expensive! Even more so than the others on the list. If the pleasure doesn’t make you faint, the price tag may. But it is worth it!
Pros
- Medical-grade stainless steel.
- It’s nice and big.
- A double-ended delight!
Cons
- Pricey
5. Le Wand Hoop – Best Double-Ended Dildo
Want a dildo that offers two different sizes? Then the Le Wand Hoop stainless Steel Double-Sided Dildo is right for you!
It’s perfect to use with yourself, or with a partner. It offers enough weight and pleasure to stimulate all those areas you love.
It comes in two different sizes, a smaller bulb that’s beginner-friendly with an insertable size and shape.
The larger end is a more teardrop shape with a rippled texture to offer a premium textured sensation.
Both sides offer amazing G-spot and P-spot play but also work for any insertable play you’re interested in. They are safe to use with both types of lubricant and great for temperature play.
The hoop is great for both beginners interested in metal toys, but also need something easy to insert, but also for those who want something bigger and more adventurous.
There’s a lot to use here with 10.3 total inches and five inches insertable in length. The width is also great for newbies to ease into at 1.5 inches at its largest point.
The biggest downside to this Dildo is that it’s pricey, but paying for quality is a must when buying metal toys.
Pros:
- It’s a great double-ended dildo for partner play.
- Offers unique sensations for temperature play
- Offers both beginner insertion and more intermediate ribbed texture play
- It’s also great for g-spot pleasure.
Cons
- Slightly pricey.
6. Biird Polli 7” – Best Steel G-Spot Dildo
Since I showed a P-spot dildo, let’s end things off with the G-spot. This dildo comes from Biird, which is also a maker of quality metal dildos.
This toy is perfectly curved to reach your G-spot and also is weighty. The dildo weighs nearly two pounds. Every time you touch that precious spot, you will reach intense orgasms.
The dildo itself has 7 insertable inches and is 1.4 inches wide.
This means that it will satisfy most cisgender women and AFABs while helping to reach the g-sot with its ergonomically shaped design.
When I used this dildo, I reached some fantastic orgasms, and I think you will, too. My only complaint is that it’s a little expensive, but you know the drill.
Pros
- It is weighty and gives terrific sensations.
- Ergonomically designed.
- High-quality stainless steel.
Cons
- It’s a bit pricey.
7. Lovehoney Jeweled Heart Metal Butt Plug – Best Budget
As I mentioned, you should spend a good amount of money on a metal dildo. But what if you don’t have that much? And what if you want something a little different?
Some brands offer decent quality without charging too much. One of the best examples is Lovehoney’s store brand, which makes quality products at affordable prices.
Their butt plug is 2.5 insertable inches and 3.5 inches in circumference. This length and girth is perfect for both newbies and lovers of anal alike. Anal butt toys can feel great.
It’s smooth to get them in, and their weightedness can make your ass feel full.
What’s also cute about this toy is that it has a jeweled heart at the end. The heart adds a bit of charm to a butt plug that may feel a bit sanitized by its design.
While this butt plug is not labeled as truly stainless steel, Lovehoney did ensure it’s safe to use.
When I tried it, I had no issues cleaning it, dropping it, etc.
Remember, this butt plug is a budget one. Right now, it’s on sale, and it’s pretty cheap. So if you need something, maybe you should take advantage of its sale.
Overall, it’s a nice little anal toy.
Pros
- Great butt plug for beginners.
- Cute jewel design.
- Affordable.
Cons
- Not true stainless steel.
What are the Benefits of Metal Dildos?
Metal dildos have many benefits. Let me list some of my favorites.
- They can change temperature! If you put them in hot or cold water, the metal will change quickly, letting you have different experiences. Of course, you can enjoy a metal dildo at room temperature if temperature play isn’t for you.
- They hit the G-spot well. Because the metal dildo doesn’t bend, you can get it right where you want it and achieve incredible orgasms. Some metal dildos will also curve, meaning you can hit the prostate quite easily.
- Easy to clean. Metal is non-porous, so all you need is a quick wipe-down after use. Some dildos come from porous materials. You may want to avoid those, as they may be difficult to clean. These toys may harbor bacteria, which is quite gross.
- A few extra pounds. The weightedness of a dildo may feel suitable for some users, especially those who may have bigger hands. You may want to feel the movements, and weight can help you feel them and then some!
- It feels so smooth! The smoothness of a dildo can make it easier to insert than other materials. While there are textured metal dildos, they still carry that smooth feeling.
- It is compatible with all lubes. Water, silicone—it’s no match for metal! Some materials may be bad with certain lubes. One of the biggest examples is a silicone dildo. If you use silicone lube with a silicone dildo, you may have a bad time.
- Unbreakable. If you drop a glass dildo, you may want to discard it, as it could break in use. But metal dildos are virtually unbreakable. Okay, a comet hitting them may cause the dildo to break, but the everyday life of a klutz won’t.
- Easy to store. Metal dildos will be less affected if you don’t store them ideally. Meanwhile, silicone dildos may stick to other silicone dildos. Therefore, metal is perfect if your storage space situation isn’t the best.
What are the Negatives of Metal Dildos?
Metal dildos can feel amazing, but I’m a firm believer in being critical about the things you like. Here are some downsides of metal dildos.
- They’re heavy! Yes, their added weight is both a pro and a con, depending on the person. Okay, it’s not a dumbbell, but if you’re using the dildo for a while, you may start to feel a little worn out. Also, this makes metal dildos more annoying for travel. You don’t want that awkward moment where your dildo is the reason your baggage is over the weight limit.
- More expensive. If you want a genuinely stainless steel dildo, metal dildos can hurt your pocketbook a little. They’re not the most costly thing in the world or anything, but you may notice a difference in price if you want to get something good.
- Metal dildos are not bendable. Some people like a little more realism with their dildos, but metal is not exactly bendable. If you’re looking for something with a bend, go for silicone.
- Finally, metal dildos can get cold quickly. I love temperature play as much as the next girl. But sometimes, I don’t want a cold dildo. Unfortunately, metal can get chilly in a regular room, so you may need to warm the dildo a bit before you get started.
Using Temperature Play With Metal Dildos
The benefit of metal dildos is that they can change temperature. All you need to do is put them in a place where they can become cold or hot!
This change leads to some interesting playtime. Your partner may love the feeling of coldness on their body, or they may love feeling warm.
To cool a dildo, put it in cool water for a few minutes or pop it in the fridge for a while. You can also put it near an AC vent.
It doesn’t take much for the dildo to cool down. Avoid freezing. If it’s too cold, it may stick to your skin. Have you ever seen that tongue scene in A Christmas Story? Same deal.
Heating up a dildo is also simple. Put it in a bowl of hot water, then wipe it off. It should be pretty hot to the touch.
Do not heat a metal dildo in a microwave because, well, it’s a microwave. Do I need to explain why microwaving metal is a bad idea?
Where to Buy the Best Metal Dildos?
A reputable sex shop in your area can sell some great metal dildos. If you’re wanting to buy them online, Lovehoney, Shevibe, or BettysToyBox are great retailers.
Some online retailers are sketchier than others, so go with the proven websites. You don’t want a dildo that’s poorly made.
Speaking of which, you should ensure that your dildo is made from stainless steel and not a weaker material.
You can read reviews of the seller and the brand itself to see if they are reputable. Once you get a dildo, weigh it and ensure the weight matches what’s on the box.
Using a cloth, rub it with some isopropyl alcohol. If you see a reaction, this may be a sign that it’s not made from stainless steel.
How to Clean Metal Dildos
Metal dildos are non-porous, meaning that they won’t absorb bacteria. Because of this, all you need is mild soap and warm water. Wipe them down, then dry them with a cloth or let them air-dry.
Most metal dildos are dishwasher-safe, too. If you’re in a rush, you may pop the dildo with your dishes. I won’t judge. You may boil a dildo as well to sanitize it.
Finally, toy cleaners work. These cleaners foam or mist on the toy. They contain antibacterial properties, so they are a great way to clean the dildo if you’re in a hurry.
That said, I recommend reading the manual to ensure you are cleaning it correctly. Some dildos may have special cleaning instructions.
For example, if a vibrator is not waterproof, you may not want to use too much water when cleaning it.
FAQ
What Does A Metal Dildo Feel Like?
A metal dildo feels smooth and rigid, giving users a complete experience. Because metal is excellent at changing temperatures, it can feel warm or cold going inside of you.
How Do Steel Metal Dildos Compare To Other Materials?
Steel is similar to glass and silicone in that it is non-porous. Like glass, steel is non-bendable and easy to change its temperature.
A steel dildo is weightier than glass, and it is less fragile when dropped.
How Should You Store A Metal Dildo?
Most metal dildos will come with a carrying bag. Once you have cleaned the dildo, put it in the carrying bag and keep it in a cool, dry place.
What Lubricant Should You Use For A Metal Dildo?
Both water and silicone lubes work nicely. Silicone can stick better on a metal dildo than water, but water also works well.
Are Metal Dildos Cold?
Metal dildos can be cold if you put them in cool water or a fridge. If a room is well air-conditioned, the metal dildo may be chilly when you first use it.
Put the dildo in lukewarm water to return it to a warmer temperature.
