# Eight-Legged Intimacy Toys The 'Squildo' Dildo is for Underwater Fun By Courtney Scharf | Published 2012-05-22 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squildo References: [obviouswinner](http://www.obviouswinner.com/obvwin/2012/5/21/the-squildo-for-your-deep-kraken-alone-time-adventures.html) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/88257173/the-squildo) [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-cookie-cutters) seller 'FreeRangeSilicone' is selling a slightly frightening 'Squildo,' which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a squid-inspired dildo. A clear standout among typically whimsical products from Etsy, the [sex accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pleasing-4) is a novel take on toys. Presumably intended for underwater adventures, the dildo is available in a wide range of colors (including glow-in-the-dark) and a choice of gloss or satin. Coming in at 11 inches, this is a sizable squid that rings in at $138.00. Perhaps an effective decoy and confusing sex toy, the dildo is a hilarious take on phallic accessories. Though it might be cheaper to go buy a round of [calamari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-squid-snack), the 'Squildo' is bound to bring buyers more pleasure. Sure to pique the interest of curious Etsy buyers, this is a hilarious take on self-love. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Novelty Sex Accessories:** The 'Squildo' showcases a trend in the market for unique and unconventional sex toys. - **Underwater Adventure Toys:** The availability of the 'Squildo' in various colors and ability to be used underwater highlights a trend for toys designed for underwater exploration. - **Whimsical Etsy Products:** The 'Squildo' stands out in a market of typically whimsical products on Etsy, signaling a trend for unconventional and humorous merchandise. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Adult Toy Industry:** The 'Squildo' represents an opportunity for the adult toy industry to tap into the market for novelty and humorous sex accessories. - **Water Sports and Recreation Industry:** The availability of underwater toys like the 'Squildo' presents an opportunity for the water sports and recreation industry to innovate and offer unique and enjoyable experiences. - **Online Marketplace Industry:** The popularity of the 'Squildo' on Etsy showcases an opportunity for online marketplaces to cater to consumers' demand for unconventional and humorous products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pro-Abortion Pleasure Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dame.md) - [Squid-Shaped Noodle Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squid-fork.md) - [Squid-Shaped Noodle Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikr-fork.md) - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md) - [Monstrous Shower Jellies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lush-shower-jellies.md) - [Candy-Scented Squish Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squishi-products.md) - [Limited-Edition Erotica Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-stories.md) - [Womens Sexual Wellness Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dott-wand.md) - [Food-Shaped Fidget Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stress-pickle.md)
