The easy part is that you’re in the right place if you need a bit of help. Keep reading to learn 5 things you should know before you buy your first dildo.
1. Where is Your Dildo Going?
No, we don’t mean where are you storing it? Where will you put your dildo when you use it? That means, vaginally or anally.
Before we go any further, let’s get a bit of safety information out of the way: If you search for a dildo to buy, you have to pick a hole.
Once you’ve used one for anal sex, you just can’t switch. And if you and your partner both enjoy anal, you’ll need to get one each. Anything else is unsanitary at best, and dangerous at worst.
If you’re choice is anal, consider something small like the butt plug. When it’s time to size up, take a look at something larger with a suction cup. You’ll be able to attach it to any surface for mounting ease.
For vaginal penetration, think about what you like. A realistic dildo is by far the most common choice for beginners. For girth, consider something thick. If length is your pleasure, try a long or well hung realistic dildo.
Not sure if you'll even enjoy your dildo? Buy a cheap dildo first, even though not as good quality as a luxury dildo for women, a cheap dildo is a good introductory toy for first timers and beginners.
2. Make Sure It’s Body Safe
Product labeling can be very tricky. This is true with dildos as well. Be wary of terms like safe or natural. These are meaningless.
Instead, look for the phrase, ‘body safe’. This is an industry term that indicates your toy has been safely made out of an approved material such as non-porous silicone, a glass dildo, or metal.
These are safe for penetration, as long as you clean them with an approved sex toy cleanser. Speaking of cleaning and sanitizing sex toys, read up on how to clean dildos to prevent build up of germs and bacteria.
3. What About Aesthetics?
A little realism goes a long way! The most realistic feeling dildo is capable of letting your imagination slip away into a real sexual fantasy. Some of these incredible creations are so incredibly lifelike, they even feel like real skin. It is thanks to a feature called "Dual Density". A lighter layer of material is layered over a dense core to imitate a real man's erection.
Some people want a dildo that resembles their partner or the person in their fantasies. Thankfully, many dildos come in different colors.
Silicone & jelly dildos like the are modern and space-aged. Don’t forget double dildos, glass dildos, or dildos that are uncut or uncircumcised.
Do you want one that vibrates? How about gyrating, rotating or a beaded pearl shaft? You'll want to shift your focus over to vibrators, also knows as vibrating dildos. New to the game? Discover what is a vibrator for to see if this is actually the type of adult toy for women you'll like best.
4. It Doesn’t Have to Look Like a Dick
If your fantasy dildo resembles a throbbing cock, that’s great. You won’t have any trouble finding one of those. On the other hand, dildos come in other shapes. Many people find they prefer those.
Try a suction cup dildo, the built-in handle and suction base feature is a hot commodity in womens sex toys. They are also compatible with strap ons. Harnesses are for kinky sex play but if you're a brave first timer it's something I would totally recommend!
Why try a dildo that isn’t shaped like a member? Honestly, it’s a matter of preference. Some men and women want a smooth and sleek dildo. Not every first timer wants to buy a dildo that looks and feels like a real penis or that replicates a masculine, phallic erection.
Others want one that’s been designed with maximum pleasure in mind rather than realism. For example, highly textured or curved sex toys feature large ridges and/or a finely ribbed shaft for intense sexual pleasure.
5. Consult Sex Toy Bloggers
Did you know that there are people who test and rate sex toys for a living? A good sex toy blogger is a priceless source of information when you’re buying your first dildo. Chances are, if one hasn’t tried the model you’re considering, they’ve tried one that’s quite similar.
Look around the internet for a sex toy blog. It’s almost guaranteed that someone has written a detailed review about the quality, durability, and pleasure potential of your dildo.
Conclusion
Now you should feel absolutely confident about buying your first dildo. Remember, there’s no rush. The only person you have to please is yourself, and maybe your partner. Just follow the tips above, and you’re sure to pick the perfect toy.
