There's nothing easier and more exciting than a dildo to start your sex toy journey. If you're shopping for a dildo, there are so many options on the market that it's normal to feel overwhelmed without advice and guidance. That's where this guide comes in. We'll introduce you to all the common dildos on the market, regardless of size, shape, function, material, take you into the world of dildos, and support beginners in choosing the best dildo.
The Material of The Dildo is Very Important
When choosing a dildo, never ignore the material safety. The 3 most common materials are silicone, glass, and metal. They are also the safest and easiest to clean. They are highly recommended for beginners.
Silicone Dildo
Dildos made of silicone are safe and can be used with confidence, and are the first choice for most people. They are hypoallergenic, skin-friendly, soft to the touch, highly realistic, and most importantly, they are non-porous, not easy to breed bacteria, easy to clean, and can be sterilized at high temperatures (some can be boiled).
Glass Dildo
Glass dildos are beautiful, but they're not just pretty. They feel as good as they look, and there's nothing better when you want something hard to stick in your vagina. Soak them in hot water or keep them in the fridge for some sensual play. Most glass dildos are made of borosilicate glass, which can withstand up to 3,000 pounds of pressure and is highly durable, giving you years of use. They're also non-porous, so they're easy to clean.
Metal Dildo
Metal dildos and glass dildos have very similar properties, and I think they can be used interchangeably. They are both rigid dildos, suitable for sensual play, and are both safe and durable. The only difference may be the difference between the metal and glass textures.
These three materials are very suitable for beginners. Of course, there are some other dildos on the market, such as TPE dildos and PVC dildos. Although these dildos are very soft and attractive in appearance, they are not easy to clean or contain phthalates, which is not good for your health. If you like, you can wear a condom when using it.
Choose The Size That Suits You
Just like shoe sizes, there is no best size for dildos, only the size that suits you best. Choosing a dildo that fits you will make you feel great. You may have seen some huge dildos in stores or on the Internet, so big that they can break your vagina. But in fact, you can't use these big dildos at all, and there may not be humans who can use such a giant dildo. The real place for them is on display shelves or in collections, so if you want a practical dildo, don't consider those impractical guys.
If you are still a virgin or you have no idea what size is right for you, I suggest you start with a small dildo, at least it will not seem so stressful. As for how small, the recommended diameter is 1-1.3 inches and the insertion length is 4-5 inches. These small dildos will ensure that you can insert smoothly and keep feeling good when you first insert.
Different Types of Dildos
There are many types of dildos, from vaginal dildos to anal dildos, from realistic to fantasy, from couple to lesbian dildo, etc. No matter what you are looking for, there is always one suitable for you. Don't know where to start? Take a look at the following to see if they meet your expectations!
Realistic Dildo
A realistic dildo is one that looks and feels very similar to a penis. Many users pursue a realistic feeling, and realistic dildos have a restoration degree of more than 90%. The lines and veins on the penis are clearly visible, and some ejaculating dildos can even simulate real penis ejaculation. If you have requirements for skin color or race, there are also some black dildos or Asian dildos that imitate Asians.
Fantasy Dildo
Fantasy dildos are a general category that includes a lot of oddly shaped dildos, some big, some small, but generally speaking, they are not human dildos. For example:
Dragon dildo : It is inspired by the appearance and structural design of the genitals of a dragon or other mythical creature, and may include scales, spines, and forked tips.
Horse dildo : This is a replica of a horse's genitals. It's a good choice if you like extreme sizes, strange shapes, or animal fantasy. But it's not friendly to beginners because it's too big.
Dog dildo : A dildo designed to imitate a dog's genitals, sometimes called a knot dildo. This is because the most special part of the canine reproductive structure is the penile knot, which has a distinct spherical or oval bulge in the middle and back of the dildo. After insertion, this part will get stuck in the body, creating a strong sense of fullness and stretching pleasure.
Tentacle dildo : They are usually too large to be inserted, but some collectors collect tentacles of various shapes. They sometimes call these tentacles alien dildo because they do look like parts of alien creatures.
Monster dildo : Various dildos from novels or fantasy monsters, with strange shapes and rich textures, can indeed provide strong stimulation, but not every model is suitable for insertion.
Vibrating Dildo
When it comes to vibrating dildos, they may not be as realistic as penises, but they provide unique vibration stimulation, usually with multiple vibration intensities and modes to choose from. If you feel good about vibration, you might as well try it. Some are even combined with rabbit vibrators, which can precisely focus your sweet spot to achieve vaginal stimulation and clitoral stimulation, which is very suitable for women who pursue orgasms.
Strap on Dildo
Lesbian couples can use the Strap on Dildo to engage in penetrative sex, making it a great accessory for lesbian relationships. This dildo usually has an adjustable strap that secures the dildo to the pelvis, giving the wearer control over the penetration. Not surprisingly, a search for Lesbian Dildo will return results that are almost identical to the Strap on Dildo. Speaking of Lesbian Dildo, some LGBT people even go out of their way to look for symbolic dildos, like the rainbow dildo. Of course, the Strap on Dildo is also popular for BDSM play, especially if you're trying role-playing.
Suction Cup Dildo
If you like riding dildos, a suction cup dildo is definitely worth considering. Its biggest advantage is that it comes with a strong suction cup. Attach it to the floor, bathroom wall, and apply some lubricant, and you're ready for a passionate solo adventure like a cowboy on a bronco! This design is especially friendly for those who like role-playing or directing their own plays. Many suction cup dildos are made of medical-grade silicone, which is soft and flexible, and feels realistic, so you can still get a real-life stimulation experience while your hands are free.
Anal Dildo
Dildos designed specifically for buttocks are usually not too big, but their appearance design is no different from vaginal dildos. However, anal dildos have a trumpet-shaped base, which can prevent the entire dildo from being immersed in the anus, greatly improving safety. If you are a beginner in anal sex, it is recommended that you proceed step by step and do not insert too much at once. For those who love anal stimulation, anal dildos must not be missed.
Double Dildo
Don't worry about not being able to find a suitable dildo for a two-person adventure. The double-headed dildo has a design with two ends that can be used, which is very suitable for two-person interaction. For example, try to enter synchronously with your partner and experience the resonance of body rhythm. For same-sex couples who want to enjoy and climax together, the double-headed dildo is a great choice. At the same time, it is also suitable for enthusiasts who explore the stimulation of front and back holes. Some users like to use a double head alone to stimulate the anus and vagina at the same time, pursuing extreme pleasure.
