If one of your decisions this year is to “make my sex life more active,” chances are you’re looking for some new fun toys. We know this can be a bit overwhelming – there are so many available! Today we’ll take a look at dildos, the different kinds of dildos, what to look out for when buying a dildo, and some tips to help you find the best dildo for you.
What is a dildo?
Let’s start from the beginning. What is a dildo? A dildo is a sex toy designed for penetration. Penises are often shaped like penises, but they don’t always look like penises (some do!). False suns come in all shapes, sizes, textures, and are made from a variety of materials. Some are as soft as a silicone dildo, as strong as a glass or metal dildo, and some are even made of physically safe hard plastic.
What is the best material for a dildo?
It’s important to remember that dildos are made of many different materials, so their look and feel may vary from material to material. Silicone, TPR, or any kind of “true feel” dildo that can be felt anywhere, from slightly soft and hard to completely soft. On the other hand, dildos made of glass, steel, crystal or even ceramic feel much harder. Which is the “best”? Well, it all depends on what you like!
Remember, everyone needs different care, so when considering materials, be sure to ask how to clean a dildo.
How big of a dildo do you want?
The answer to this question is entirely a matter of personal preference. If you are completely new to the dildo game, you can start with many smaller beginner dildos. If you have some experience and you know you like a little (or a lot) of girth/thickness, you can make it bigger. Remember, bigger does not equal better. A slender dildo like the unlimited 7-inch smooth probe is great for those looking for neck or A-spot stimulation, but the shorter dillio Dillio 6-inch dildo is better for g-spot stimulation. It all depends on what you are looking for.
The 7 Best Prosthetics
We know that fake suns come in many sizes, styles and materials, so how do you know what’s right for you? To give you a better idea, let’s take a look at six of the most popular and best-selling dildos.
- to express
You may also see representative dildos described as “lifelike” or “surreal”. A representative or realistic dildo is designed to look like a human penis and may include veins, a pronounced head, and sometimes even testicles. If a lifelike dildo is floating around your boat, then you’ll want to check out a real skin 6.5″ dildo. With its lifelike curves, protruding head, and large, heavy ball, it’s nearly as close to the real thing as it is. 2. No representation
Many dildos are not designed to look like penises. We call these non-representative dildos. They can have almost any shape imaginable. Some look simple and stylish, while others look like cute animals, creepy tentacles, realistic vegetables, and more. This dildo also includes many steel and glass dildos. If you’re curious about non-representative dildos, check out Mr. Swirl’s 6.5″ G-spot glass dildo with its G-spot friendly curves and swirl texture of curled toes.
Because they don’t look like penises, non-representative dildos are also probably the most discreet type of dildo. They’re a great option for travelers wondering if dildos are allowed on planes, and even get you through security without anyone being smarter!
- Vibration
Vibrating dildos sometimes have a cavity at the bottom of the toy into which a bullet or mini vibrator can be inserted, but some have internal motors. These dildos tend to have less vibrating force than an actual vibrator, but it will add something extra to the penetration experience. One of our most popular vibrating dildos is PinkCherry hot pink curvy cock. It offers ultra-precise g-spot aiming cues, large padding thickness and pleasant multi-speed vibration.
While it’s not usually called a dildo, we have to mention the beloved bunny vibrator. If you’re looking for a mix of internal and external stimulation, then a rabbit vibrator will be the way to go. Featuring the realistic shaft of a dildo and the feel of a clitoral vibrator, these toys are perfect for anyone looking for the sensation of penetration and clitoral stimulation. The Pink Cherry 10-Function Luxury Silicone Tease Bunny Vibrator is one of our best sellers. With ten different vibration patterns and the perfect axis curve, Bunny will delight you from the inside out and help you reach new levels of orgasm! There is also PinkCherry’s thrusting bunny Vibe, in addition to vibration and penetration, it also adds a new layer of stimulation through automatic thrusting! With a range of different vibration and thrust modes, you can customize your sexual pleasure like never before!
- Suction cup
The sucker dildo is specially designed for hands-free gaming. They include a suction cup base that attaches securely to walls, floors, tables, and more. Suction cups hold your dildo in place while you’re down! Basix Slim’s 7-inch dildo has a slim profile and a solid suction cup base, making it a great place to start your exploration of suction cup dildos.
- Belt type
A strap-on dildo is any harness-compatible dildo, which means it has a flared base that can be used (along with the harness) as a wearable strap-on dildo. There are also some dildos we call “strapless”. To use the strapless, the partner will insert a smaller ball or curve into their vagina, which will allow the longer shaft to freely insert into their partner. If you’re looking to buy a strap on a dildo, one of the best places to start is a Lux Fetish Bundle with a 5″ dildo that comes with a harness and a harness-compatible dildo. 6. Double head
A double-ended dildo is designed for double penetration, which means penetrating two holes at a time. The Lucky Lady Double Dildo is very flexible and can be used by a partner together or alone. If you like to pay attention to the anus during vaginal penetration, this is a great place to start!
- Anal
When talking about dildos, don’t forget to mention the back! For those looking to start exploring anal play, the Crystal Jelly Anal Starter is a great beginner dildo. This jelly dildo is specially designed for inexperienced anal explorers. With its narrow shaft and rounded base, this little dildo allows you to slowly explore anal penetration at your own pace.
For those who are more experienced in anal sex, silicone anal nails are a good choice. The curved shaft allows for internal or prostate stimulation, plus it has a suction cup base for creative hands-free fun. No matter what stage of your sexual journey you are in, there are tons of anal dildos of different sizes and shapes, and you’re sure to find the perfect one!
How to use lube with dildo
While learning how to use a dildo, you also need to be familiar with how to use lube on a dildo. Lube is especially important if you want to use a dildo on the anus, as the anus is known not to lubricate itself.
You can’t go wrong with any dildo (or any sex toy, period) quality water-based lube, but it’s a must if you’re using silicone toys. However, if you want something super long-lasting, and you’re using a dildo made of glass, steel, plastic, or other materials, you can try silicone lube or experiment to find what works best for you.
