Pegging has a pretty cut and clear definition: it’s when a woman uses a strap-on dildo and anally penetrates a man with it.
The term was popularized in 1998 thanks to a series of sex education videos called Bend Over Boyfriend.
When it comes to straight sex, pegging has increased in popularity for several reasons. First, more couples are comfortable with exploring this as a sex option.
In the past, pegging was seen as “gay,” and many men wouldn’t dare try it. But things are changing, and definitely for the better!
I believe that no matter how “manly” a guy thinks he is, he’ll love pegging!

What to Consider When Picking A Pegging Sex Toy
So you’re curious about a pegging toy. Here are some things you should consider.
Length and Girth
First, how long should the sex toy be, and how thick? If your partner is new to the pegging game, they may not be able to take anything too big or thick in their booty.
But if they have experience with toys, it may be a different story. Usually, a dildo that is around 6 inches long and 1.5 inches wide is good for most people.
However, you may want to go bigger or smaller depending on your preferences.
Shape and Texture
How is the dildo shaped? Most dildos will be phallic shaped and curved like a natural penis.
However, some dildos may be a little different, or have textures to them. For example, the dildo may include ridges or bumps.
Materials
What materials is the pegging sex toy made from? I should mention that you should never go with porous sex toys, which absorb bacteria.
Instead, you should go for non-porous toys, which are easy to clean. Non-porous materials include metal, glass, and silicone.
Metal and glass can be heated or cooled, and are quite slick. Meanwhile, body-safe silicone is pretty versatile and is frequently used in vibrating toys.
For most pegging receivers, that toy is going directly in their butt! And I don’t care how much you clean that thing out, there is going to be bacteria lurking in there.
Therefore, I highly recommend a toy that’s easy to clean!
Budget
How much money do you have? This can help you decide what dildo you’re going to get. Some pegging dildos are affordable for those on a short budget.
Meanwhile, more expensive pegging dildos may include more features and higher-quality materials.
Most people usually settle for that sweet spot, getting a dildo that’s a good value without being too cheap.
For a pegging dildo, the $50 range is a good sweet spot, with toys being over $100 providing a more premium experience.
Strap or No Strap?
Most pegging dildos require you to attach them to a harness. How you attach them may depend on the harness and the dildo.
Some harnesses use vacuum seals, while others use O-rings. However, there are pegging dildos that have no straps.
These dildos tend to work by being double-sided. The giver’s side has a bulb that they can insert inside the vagina, and the toy will stay inside this way. t
With that said, your mileage may vary depending on your body type and other factors.
Seller
Who is the seller, and are they notable for having high-quality products? If you’re like me, you want to have quality every step of the way.
So make sure that the dildo you’re buying is from a reputable shop or online store.
Waterproof
What if you want to peg in the shower or ensure that the toy is truly clean? If that’s the case, you’ll probably want it to be waterproof.
Generally, you only need to worry about this if the pegging toy has a motor in it.
You should aim for a toy with IPX7 waterproof, as this will protect the toy from most aquatic situations.
Vibration-Related Considerations
If the pegging dildo you are purchasing vibrates, there are several considerations that you should make.
For example, you should think about the noise level. Or, you may want to look at how many patterns and speeds the toy has.
With a vibrating sex toy, you should also think about battery life. Most sex toys should last you long enough.
But what about people who go the distance? Finally, think about how it’s charged.
Nowadays, USB charging is the standard, but some toys still use traditional batteries.
Other Bells and Whistles
Finally, you may want to consider other bells and whistles, especially if you have a big budget.
For instance, you may want to buy a vibrating strap-on with a remote to make controlling the speeds easier.
Or, you can invest in a Bluetooth toy and control the vibration via an app.
The Types of Pegging Dildos
There are six main types of pegging dildos. Gotta peg ‘em all, right?
Harnesses
A harness is worn around the user, and you can put different dildos of varying sizes on it.
Harnesses are easily adjustable depending on the body size.
One disadvantage of harnesses is that some may find them cumbersome or uncomfortable, but most enjoy them.
Strapless
Strapless dildos are becoming more popular because less is better. I mentioned them before, but if you skimmed through the section, let me repeat.
Strapless dildos have one end that is inserted inside of the vagina and the other end works as a regular dildo.
Strapless dildos are also great because the vagina bulb can vibrate.
Plus, the friction will make the giver feel good. While harness dildos can be fun, they don’t provide much tangible pleasure.
That said, strapless dildos are not for everyone. Depending on the shape of what’s down there, your mileage may vary.
Panty
These strap-on dildos are built into a pair of panties. They don’t require much adjusting on your end, which is nice.
However, the panty is not that adjustable, so if you go up or down in size, this may be a problem.
You also cannot swap the dildo, reducing how versatile the toy is.
Hollow
These dildos are worn by a male user, or anyone with a penis. If someone has erectile dysfunction or wants to make their penis length longer, a hollow dildo may help.
While they may not be considered pegging by some, they’re worth mentioning.
Double Penetration
Two heads are better than one, right? This dildo has two shafts attached to one base, meaning the giver can do double-penetration or please two people if they so wish.
Some DP dildos will have detachable shafts, you can have a dildo for multiple situations.
Vibrating Dildos
These dildos have a vibrating motor, giving the receiver even more pleasure! Some dildos may have a bullet attachment so you can add or remove vibration.
With that said, vibrating dildos can also be any of the above.
Top 7 Pegging Dildos
Let’s look at seven dildos that will satisfy your pegging fantasies!
1. Lovehoney Vibrating Silicone Pegging Kit- Best Overall
I thought for a while about which pegging dildo would be the number one, and then it hit me.
The first spot should go to someone who wants to try pegging but needs a good starter kit. A kit that has a basic pegging dildo and a harness for a fair price.
And if you’re a veteran of pegging, this kit may work if you’re on the go.
The harness itself is easily adjustable and fits waists of up to 58 inches, meaning most can enjoy it.
To attach the dildos, you can use the included O-rings. This kit includes two dildos. One is a blue G-spot dildo with six insertable inches.
This dildo also has a hole which you can insert a bullet vibrator into, which is included.
The other dildo is a black one of five insertable inches. This one is designed for anal penetration. Its smooth surface means you can get it inside you with a bit of lube and prep.
Overall, this kit is a crowd-pleaser. You can always upgrade the dildos and get something more elaborate as time goes on.
For the price, you get quality products that will help you enter the world of pegging gracefully.
Pros
- Includes everything you need.

- A good value.
Cons
- If you have a harness already, you may want to look elsewhere.
2. Lovense Lapis: Best Strapless Strap-On
I’ve discussed the Lovense Lapis in a separate review, but to make a long story short, I love this thing!
If you don’t know much about Lovense products, they’re Bluetooth-based toys that you can sync to the Lovense Remote app.
When you connect your toy to the app, you can control it via your phone over short or long-distance.
Not only that, but you can create your own patterns, download your own, and even sync your Lapis up to music. What’s there not to love?
Besides the app, the Lovense Lapis is a quality dildo.
It’s made from body-safe silicone and the bulb fits comfortably inside of you. Its average size should also be a crowd-pleaser! Best of all, no harness is required, and the giver will feel it, too!
Overall, this dildo is great if you want both the giver and receiver to feel pleasure, if you’re tired of harnesses, and if you want a premium product.
Lovense toys aren’t for everyone, but they are for most!
Pros
- Bluetooth features give it unlimited possibilities.
- Quality materials.
- Quiet, rumbly vibrations.
Cons
- It may be too expensive for some people.
3. 10x Mighty Rider: Best Budget Strapless Strap-On
Strapless strap-on dildos are inherently going to be pricier than regular dildos, so it’s difficult to find one that’s affordable. If the Lovense Lapis is too expensive, this one is a cheaper alternative.
The Mighty Rider is made from body-safe silicone with over 5.2 insertable inches.
With 3 intensities and 7 patterns, the possibilities are not endless like a Bluetooth dildo, but it’s enough to keep you busy for a long time!
One feature of the Mighty Rider that’s also good is its remote.
When using a strapless dildo, I highly recommend having some kind of remote, as it can be difficult to change the intensity without ruining the experience.
The dildo also uses USB charging as well, so it’s simple to get the toy back to full power whenever you’re ready to use it!
Overall, the dildo is a great cheaper alternative to the Lapis, but some people still may find it expensive.
While the price may vary depending on the store, you may still have to pay $60 for it. But this price is half of the Lapis.
Pros
- Much more affordable than the Lapis.
- Remote lets you change the settings quite easily.
- USB recharging.
Cons
- It’s still a bit pricey.
4. Silicone Pegging Probe By Calexotics: Best Cheap DIldo
If you just need a pegging dildo without a harness or any bells and whistles, and you are on a short budget, this dildo is for you!
It has nothing fancy and instead delivers a good experience. With five insertable inches, the dildo is great for both newcomers and fans of pegging alike.
The dildo is perfectly smooth and curved to reach inside the backdoor easily. The suction cup base is simple enough to stick on as well.
Overall, this dildo, while not offering anything too exciting, is great for a newbie. Or, if you are on a budget, the dildo is perfect.
You may also wish to use this dildo if you’re traveling and you want to bring something that won’t take up too much space or be a big loss if it gets misplaced.
Pros
- Affordable.
- Body-safe silicone.
- Sleek and curved.
Cons
- No harness and may not excite veterans.
5. G-Spot Rotating Rabbit Peg Silicone Rechargeable Vibrator-Best Rabbit Pegging Dildo
Many pegging dildos don’t have much clitoral stimulation to them. The reason for this is that many receivers are cisgender men.
But what if the receiver is female, a trans male, or anyone else with a vagina? Then you may want to snag this rabbit vibrator.
Rabbit vibrators have been popular for a long time due to stimulating your clitoris alongside reaching your G-spot.
This rabbit vibrator is good for people who don’t want anything intimidating.
It has four insertable inches and cute little bunny ears that will make you melt! The dildo also boasts six patterns and is completely waterproof.
As you may have deduced from its title, it’s also USB rechargeable! Overall, it’s a fantastic dildo.
Pros
- One of the few rabbit-pegging dildos.
- Waterproof and rechargeable.
- Great for beginners.
Cons
- It’s a bit expensive.
6. The Aveo Dual Density 8.5- Best Big Pegging Dildo
Some people may be experienced in taking things up there, or they naturally have a wide hole.
When the smaller dildos aren’t cutting it, you need to look for something bigger. And this dildo may just cover it!
This dildo has a nice, purple color to it, but also has realistic dildos. I almost imagine that this is what Thanos has between his legs.
All jokes aside, this dildo has 7.5 insertable inches and a head diameter of 1.99 inches. In other words, you’ll be feeling it!
Because the dildo is such a high-quality product, however, it is a little bit pricey. This is especially true since the dildo lacks any bells and whistles.
However, many larger pegging dildos are made from PVC and other porous materials. I try to use silicone or other non-porous materials as much as possible in this house!
Pros
- It’s big!
- Beautifully sculpted.
- Made from body-safe materials.
Cons
- Pricey.
7. Fantasy Swamp Monster – Best Fantasy Dildo
Monster or fantasy dildos have taken the sex world by storm in recent years. With the rise of furry culture, and people being curious about having sex with things that don’t exist, this dildo is a good starting point.
I don’t think of “Swamp monster,” when I think of a fictional creature that turns me on, but I can see why it’s appealing.
This toy is huge and has scales. You’ll really feel every bit of this monster as he dominates you!
Best of all, this toy is relatively inexpensive by monster toy standards. Sure, it’s pricier than a normal dildo, but if you look at sites like Bad Dragon, you’ll get what I mean.
And despite its lower cost, it’s still decent quality!
Pros
- Textured monster dildo.
- Big and thick.
- Inexpensive by monster dildo standards.
Cons
- It may be a little too much for some.
Why Pegging Strap-On Kits Are Great For Beginners
Pegging strap-on kits are great for beginners for a few reasons.
First, they include everything you need to get started. Second, these pegging kits are a good value if you want to get all the essentials without spending too much.
The pegging kits are also pretty basic. While veterans may not care for this fact, this can help newbies who may be a little intimidated.
Finally, pegging kits are designed to please most people. The dildos are average in size, and the harnesses are meant to fit as many people as possible.
If you have certain preferences, you can buy other dildos or upgrade the harnesses down the road.
What Will You Get In a Pegging Kit?
It ultimately depends on what pegging kit you purchase. But generally, pegging kits include a harness and a compatible dildo of average size.
Some harness kits may include lubricant or a variety of dildos of different sizes.
A pegging kit may also include a bullet vibrator that you can use to make the included dildos vibrate.
What Are The Best Pegging Positions?
The best pegging positions depend on your body type, your partner’s body type, your flexibility, and many other factors.
Generally, these are considered the best pegging positions:
Doggy Style
You know this one would be at the top! Doggy is generally the best pegging position for anything, as most people can do it and it doesn’t require anything complicated.
You get on all fours, and you know the rest. I would recommend a sex pillow if there’s a height difference, but this shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Spooning
Spooning is a great sex position for several reasons. First, it’s just plain intimate! Whispering sweet nothings in your partner’s ear just feels so good!
Not only that, but the giver is usually the one to be the little spoon in this situation.
Rear Entry
This sex position is easy. The receiver lies on their stomach, which allows the giver to go pretty hard!
You can also hold the person’s hand while giving, which adds to the intimacy.
Missionary
Finally, a good old missionary is sometimes the best solution. You know it already, so get to it!
That said, the receiver may need to lift their legs and bend their knees to get the toy inside of them.
These positions should help you while you’re pegging. The best position may depend on preferences and body type.
Therefore, you should experiment to see which position best suits you!
Butterfly
If you want to reach orgasm, just follow the butterflies. The receiver lies on the bed and raises their legs, bent at their waist.
Meanwhile, the giver stands on the floor while the partner rests their legs against their shoulders.
The butterfly position will help get that anal dildo deep inside the receiver! They will really feel like they’re flying away!
