How to Measure a Sex Toy
You should have paid more attention to your math teacher
when she tried to explain π to you. It is a beneficial tool when trying to figure
out the circumference and diameter of a sex toy...especially a dildo. Size
matters. At least correct size matters. If something is too big or too small
disappointment is not far behind. For all of our products, we describe
dimensions as accurately as we can. We even post warnings about ones that are
really big and ask customers to take out a ruler and/or a measuring tape before
placing an order. And it never fails, we still get calls and emails from
dismayed customers saying that "…it was way bigger than I expected!"
It is not an exact science and can be subjective. However, just so we are all
close to being on the same page, here is how to measure a sex toy. It is the
same for vibrators and dildos. If you still have trouble with the whole diameter and circumference thing, there are online calculators that can convert that for you. Remember...measure carefully, choose wisely, and stay sexy!

Total
Length
The
length measurement indicates the entire length of the toy, from top to bottom
including any handles and bases. With your toy placed on a flat surface, hold
one end of the measuring tape at the tip of the toy's head and extend it to its
base. Do not curl the measuring tape over the base.
Insertable
Length
The
insertable length measurement indicates only the length of the toy that is
meant for penetration. Hold one end of the measuring tape at the tip of
the toy's head and extend it only to the end of the shaft. If your toy has a
harness base, suction base, testicles, or a handle, it is not a part of the
toy's insertable length measurement.
Width
& Diameter
The
width measurement indicates the horizontal diameter of the toy's surface at its
widest point. Place one end of the measuring tape flat across its widest point.
Do not curl the measuring tape around the edges of the toy.
Girth
& Circumference
The
girth measurement indicates the circumference of the toy around its widest
point. With the toy held upwards, hold one end of the measuring tape at the
center of its widest point, and wrap it around the toy until you're back where
you started. Be sure not to overlap the measuring tape to get an accurate
measurement.
PS. If you are still confused by measuring the width and circumference, there are online calculators that convert those measurements for you.
