A dildo is an insertable toy that can be used to pleasure the vagina and specific spots such as the G-spot or A-spot. Dildos can also be used anally for general or prostate stimulation.
Materials
Dildos come in a variety of materials, each of which has its own benefits. The following listing includes body-safe, non-porous materials.
- Silicone can range from soft to nearly rigid and is available in a variety of colors and patterns and in every price range. It isn't compatible with all silicone lube.
- Stainless steel is intense because of its rigidity. It responds well to temperature but might be too bulky or expensive for some consumers.
- Glass is similarly rigid and responds to temperature but is lighter than stainless steel. Various textures, colors, and infusions are available. You can use any lube with glass dildos, but there is a risk of them breaking.
- Wood toys are incredibly light yet dense but not the most affordable toys.
- Ceramic is less common than other materials but hard and temperature responsive.
Other materials are porous, allowing them to harbour bacteria. Sex toys made of TPR, TPE, or jelly are common materials for cheap and affordable toys. However, PVC, like jelly, can break down over time. Cyberskin and other proprietary skin materials in realistic dildos are made from TPR or TPE. We recommend the materials toward the beginning of this list for their safety, performance, and versatility.
Size Matters
Aside from material, size is another important factor when choosing your dildo. If you're a beginner, it's easy to choose something that's too big to use comfortably, at least now. A medium-sized dildo with a diameter around 1.5 inches (3.81cm) is a good option, although you might consider a larger toy if you've tried penetration before. However, if you're concerned about size, you could buy a mini dildo and move up to a larger size later. You'll find sets of small, medium, and large dildos that let you pick the best fit.
Texture, Shape, and More
Texture can add intensity when using a sex toy, but your vagina or anus won't necessarily feel all textures. Keep in mind that rigid dildos can feel bigger and more intense than softer dildos of a similar size and texture. For G-spot and P-spot stimulation, a curved dildo, perhaps with a contoured head, will be the best to find and stimulate the sweet spot.
Some dildos are realistic with balls and all, but more abstract dildos might fit your aesthetic and can be more discreet. Dildos with suction cup bases can be secured to surfaces so you can ride them and can be used with a strap-on harness, too. A flared base is a must for safe anal play. Want something more thrilling?
