Lubricated objects with the appearance of male penis have been known for centuries, and with the development of design, they have changed over the years in their type and function. Whether you are a regular customer or just starting learning about adult toys, it is useful to know more about different types of dildos. This guide proceeds to look at the various types that exist and how each of those types meets certain needs and wants.
What is a 'dildo'?
A dildo is a sex toy used mostly for penetration since it is a phallic-shaped massaging tool. It exists in different sizes, shapes, and materials used and is used for vaginal penetration and anal stimulation. Even though dildos are not like those sexual aids that are linked to the vagina and can vibrate to produce pleasure, dildos are as satisfying as they are shaped and textured.
Further in there are the G-spot, which is part of the internal clitoris, and the prostate glands. These pleasure points can presumably give the possibility of unique and possibly deeper climaxes that are not touched by two arm and hand stimulations of the clitoris and penis, respectively.
What Size Dildo?
The most relevant factor that should be looked at is width. A dildo that is too large will be nasty to use; that may be why most people prefer those with moderate size. Size is not quite as important here as you can control how deeply the dildo penetrates your partner. If you plan on using your dildo with a strap on, it’s better to get one that is slightly larger, as it will be several inches shorter when it is inserted into the strap-on.
But with so many different types of dildos, which is the right type for you?
Silicone Dildos
For use as a masturbator or with a companion, silicone dildos are some of the finest and broadest ranging available. Don’t get us started; however, our artisan range, made in London, means there is an individually crafted, sustainable anal toy for everyone.
Silicone dildos are non-toxic, erogenous zones, and hygienically designed. Of course, they can be handhelds or used in a strap-on harness as well and due to the wider base, they are safer for anal use.
Choosing a dildo is a deeply personal decision.
Well, one size does not fit all and that is why we provide close to in-count sizes of silicone dildos from small to big. Only you (or your partner) can decide if you need a short, long, thin, or fat dildo, but we are here to assist you in choosing from the many pleasures out there.
Dildos For Two
Double dildos come in two varieties: traditional and strapless.
Conventional long double-ended sex toys are specifically longer and created for use with a companion; (s)he can put both ends of the dildo to her/his vagina or anus. It can slide in and out just like a dildo but can be used interchangeably between you two; you get to ‘watch’ each other besides feeling the double penetration too.
We still have strapless dildos that are designed for strap-on sex without a harness, as you might have guessed from the name. It is normally shaped like a U, a small egg-shaped part for internal application while the larger end is used to penetrate externally. The “operator” inserts the internal dildo and anchors it to the pelvic cavity, then uses the remaining part to penetrate the partner.
Pennello-type bulbs are less appropriate for strong vibrations as compared to the bullet ones, and they should not be used when strong thrusting is coming into play because the bulb does not offer the same amount of stability as a dildo that is worn with the harness.
Dildos To Strap-On
A dildo, when used with a harness, is more secure and has more options than a strapless dildo. By wearing the harness, the dildo does not require any form of rigging to your body and you are able to flex your muscles in any manner you desire. As with any traditional strap-on, the benefit of double dildo is the possibility to change the size of the dildo and use one and another in a few moments.
One partner wears the dildo strapped either just above their hip bones with the basic back strap on play side-on harness or on the leg with the thigh harness. Hence, after the dildo is well anchored, it will readily satisfy the receiving partner!
Any diddle designed to be used with a harness must have the base thicker in order that it does not slip out. The base of the Sh! dildos also flares to make them safe for anal use.
Here, a strap-on can be a nice lesbian sex aid for solo play; however, it is also quite often used by husband and wife who decided to have fun with orgasmic pegging.
Dildos For Sensation
When it comes to anal toys, glass or metal toys have an unbeatable weight that other materials do not offer. These toys are silky smooth to touch, especially when being used and the weight and density of thick dildos provide an excellent g-spot and prostate gland massage. If you are considering these pleasure points, we definitely suggest glass and metal dildos!
Moreover, glass and metal anal beads and dildos can be put in the refrigerator or boiling water for chilly or hot buttocks intercourse.

How Do You Use A Dildo?
Namely, a dildo is an object designed for penetrating internal erogenous zones, but as for the practice, they are free to choose. Penetration is only one of the many possible uses of a dildo and there are no laws about how it can and cannot be done.

If, however, there are things you would like to do with a dildo that are not mentioned in this list, don’t hesitate! That said, there is nothing wrong with offering suggestions; as long as it’s safe for the individual and couple, the BDSM dildo play can be virtually limitless.
Why Does Using A Dildo Feel Good?
The main reason dildos feel great is because they rub against other vaginal or anal erogenous zones. The vulvovaginal and anal regions are densely innervated with pleasure-sensitive nerve endings; therefore, a dildo is suitable for fun realistic dildos.
Couples can get the most benefits out of dildos because they can be used to stimulate pleasure points such as the G-spot as well as the P-spot. Other regions, such as the A-spot (the anterior fornix), are also appropriate for stimulation using a dildo because one can only get one’s fingers in up to a certain extent.
Does a Dildo Feel Like a Real Penis?
What a glass dildo can mimic is the shape of a penis, which it will never have the same feeling of—and most of us understand that difference.
Alright, a dildo can feel like a penis, but it also feels as incredible as an actual penis in its own right. It is certainly true stimulation of the same regions, but to do so a dildo has quite a number of other pleasures embedded in it as well. Here are some benefits that are exclusive to a diddle:
It stays erect
A dildo is not a penis; it implies that the dildo is always available for use. It does not get bored or chaffed; it doesn’t require a rest between phases; it does not collapse face down on the mat and go to sleep before you achieve orgasm. A diddle is always ready to screw and will cum whenever you want it to thrusting dildo.
You choose how it feels
For your convenience, you can choose the density and firmness of the dildo depending on your choice butt plug. But the level of firmness that the mattress should have—soft, firm, or somewhere in between—is up to you.
You choose the size
It is very easy to find a toy of the correct size and form for yourself while using a dildo. You can find your dildo slender, girthy, short, or the same size as your first boyfriend, as you wish sex life
You choose the features
Porn dildoes provide the option of vibrating, revolving, heating, and stimulating locations that a penis just cannot reach. This, of course, does not make them superior but such circumstances allow a wider variety of experiences. They can be ultra-realistic with veins and balls or, at the same time, utterly different. If you fancy a certain kind of vibe, there is a dildo for it inflatable dildo.
It can’t make you pregnant
Yes, although there are fantastic vibrators that simulate ejaculation, no dildo can make you pregnant. If you are considering introducing some penetration and don’t want pregnancy coming from it, consider a dildo.
It's gender/body affirming
Moreover, using a dildo can work as a form of safety for those who are trans or non-binary since it helps to address such issues arising from dysphoria. Men with a penis short complex should endeavor to hire a strap-on dildo that will make them confident to please their spouses.
You can treat it however you like
What you have to understand is that you can use a dildo softly or apply significant force. You can leave it untouched for weeks or you can use it every night and for your own enjoyment, it will always be fully charged for next use.
Tips For Using a Dildo
Whether it’s the kind of diddle you are using or how you are planning on using it, there are certain things that can make it even more fun.
Use plenty of lube
It is always safe to use a lubricant for sex toys, particularly dildos and butt plugs for purposes of safe sex. As nice as it may be if your autonomous zones produce adequate lubrication, applying some of the liquid will make the penetration process much easier and more comfortable—tthere will be no issues with thrusting.
Make sure you’re aroused
Let’s consider arousal as a numerical line in which 1 is having no arousal and 10 is almost ready to climax. You should be about 8 before you start using a diddle. We do not recommend using it too early—before things get really hot—because it can turn into a rather painful experience or it can just be numb and unresponsive.
Take your time
Finally, maybe you are fully aroused, wet, and ready to give your anal dildo to a workout; initially, do this slowly if you are new to it. It is also good to slide the dildo along or around the outer lips of the vulva or the outer rim of the anus before penetration. After that, it is recommended to proceed to a slow and constant speed and then gradually up the speed.
Choose your own depth
They are to be slid in a vagina; you don’t even need the full length of a dildo. For example, if the penis is 7 inches long, you can decide on how much of it you would like to insert based on your convenience. Upon initial insertion, you may find that you need only half or even less of the product’s insertable length. After a while it feels like this and you may then consider putting in even more. It goes as deep as you decide it should, which means you can change it to suit your decision.
The technique is basic, as in using the dildo but making it into a good experience will need some practice and expertise. Remember patience, follow the tips above and most importantly, have fun!
Choosing the Right Material for Your Dildo
A potentially major disadvantage often ignored by consumers is the material of a dildo that has to be conducive to comfort and safe usage. Here’s a breakdown of popular materials:
- Silicone: smooth, stovetop-safe, headlight, and tear sheet types that do not stain, retain moisture, shrink, distort, or break easily.
- Glass: not porous, suitable for temperature play and very slippery.
- Metal: sturdy, fantastic for frying heat, and possesses consistency.
- Rubber/TPE: Soffer, more flexible, but more permeable, and has to be washed carefully.
- Jelly: Inexpensive but many of them contain things like phthalates, which are not very safe for our skin.
Dildo Safety Tips
- Ensure that you always use water-soluble lubricant when using silicone toys because it may otherwise harm the substance.
- Always wash this toy before and after any sort of use to ensure it is well cleaned and there is no buildup of bacteria.
- Anal toys should not present any risk of being left inside the body, so for anal play, use toys with a paramIntticker base.
- Listen to the body and begin gradually, particularly if it’s someone’s first time to use dildos or a certain type.

If it is that you want something original, lifelike, or exotic, then you’ll find a dildo that will meet your expectations. For the newcomers to the sector, as well as those who continue to develop, the choice of materials, forms, and sizes is very large.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the Best Material for a Dildo?
The latter depends on their preferences; however, it is known that silicone is considered to be the safest and universal material for dildos. The problem with silicone is that it is non-porous, hypoallergenic, easy to clean, and therefore suitable for most people. Glass and stainless steel are also preferred because they can be cleaned easily, have smooth textures, and because of their firmness, they may be used for temperature play. Jelly and rubber are softer and more flexible compared to plastic; however, they are porous and thus can easily develop bacterial growth when not cleaned properly. Also, learners should use items that are safe for the skin, and these include silicone, glass, or metal.
How Do I Clean and Maintain My Dildo?
To still ensure that you are clean and also that your dildo can last for long, as well as being a novelty product, you need to clean your dildo. Those dildos, which are made from silicone, glass or metal, can be washed with warm water accompanied with a mild and odorless soap. To clean deeper, you might submerge the dildo in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes or use rubbing alcohol depending on its material and nature For porous materials, you can use some soap and warm water, while for non-porous materials, especially those made of glass or metal, you can boil the dildo or use a sex toy cleaner. Do not use substances which are abrasive to the skin or those that might harm the sex toy materials. It is also important to dry the dildo after washing and store it in another clean and dry environment. Store it separately to avoid some of the materials they come into contact with getting spoiled on children.
What Size Dildo Should I Start With as a Beginner?
New users usually advise on using a beginner’s dildo in this category and that means reaching for a smaller toy. For a beginner, a dildo that measures between 1 and 1.5 inches wide and 5 to 6 inches long is normally ideal. The main thing since it has been discussed is that size does not equal comfort and that the latter concept is of paramount importance in most cases. First-timers to penetration or beginners who have just gotten into toy play should ensure that they apply a lot of water-based lubes to make the process a more comfortable one. Having gained some level of expertise and confidence, you can start looking for other sizes and shapes depending on your desire.
What’s the Difference Between a Dildo and a Vibrator?
Mainly, the main distinction is that vibrators have motors that create vibrations, whereas dildos are intended for penetration with no incorporated mechanical function. There are different types of dildos available in the market in terms of size, shape, and texture. Dildos can be used for vaginal or anal pleasure. Vibrators, on the other hand, are used on the clitoris, G-spot, or other external organs of sexual pleasure only. There are toys that have both of these characteristics for instance, vibratory dildos, which are toys that have the shape and format of dildos with an extra aspect of vibration.
Can I Use a Dildo for Anal Play?
Yes, there are a lot of dildos that are made for anal use but you have to ensure that yours has a flared base so that you do not lose it inside you. Anal dildos are not as large as vaginal dildos and have more narrowly tapering shapes as they are intended for comfortable penetration. Make sure to use more lubrication; the anus is not as wet as the vagina. Water-based lubes are nontoxic and perfect for use on the anus. Also, given that anal sex is not common, go slow, especially if you are giving or receiving anal penetration for the first time, and remember to pay attention to your signals.
How Do I Choose Between a Realistic and a Non-Realistic Dildo?
Therefore, it solely depends on the person as to whether he or she wants a realistic or non-realistic dildo. Assertively life-like ones have different forms and collocations, similar to real veins on the shaft, the head, and even the scrotum in the case of some products. If you are after a very accurate version, then you might perhaps hit the jackpot with realistic dildo. Non-jelly realistic jelly dildos do not resemble the male physiology in shape, color, or texture; they can be created from various materials, have creative forms, or have vivid colors and smooth skin. These are good for people who care about beauty or who like a certain type of functional look but don’t care if it’s not completely realistic.
Can I Use a Suction Cup Dildo in the Shower?
Indeed, suction cup dildos are created in a way that they can only be used on a smooth surface and therefore can perfectly be used on showers, tiles, or bathtubs for hand-free fun. To free-float the suction, make sure that the dildo is placed on a flat as well as clean surface. It can enhance it and the usage of it in the shower will make it even more interesting, but rule of thumb when it comes to water-soluble lubes, don’t use them in water. Another type of lubricant could be more durable, such as silicone or hybrid, but be always careful about the type of lubricant to use with the certain material of the dildo.
Are glass dildos safe to use?
Yes, glass dildos are made from boro silicate glass and are durable, used in applications that involve pressure and even impacts. They are perfectly safe to use so long as you are purchasing the supplement from a reliable manufacturer. It’s smooth and firm, which is a completely different feel from that of silicone toys for instance, making it one of the advantages of glass dildos. They can also be heated or cooled for temperature play, which increases the variations of the feeling they bring. Always check for chips or cracks on it before use, as it is with any other sex toys.
How Can I Use a G-Spot Dildo Effectively?
Using the G-spot dildo, it is crucial to focus on the shape of the toy and the positions of the G-spot, which is found at 2-3 inches deep into the vagina on the front wall. G-spot dildos are created with a particular arch designed to stimulate this place. To begin with, insert the dildo gradually into the vagina, then apply the back and forth (come hither motion to the G-spot). You need to apply some pressure and try different angles in order to find which one will bring the most enjoyment. At this point, everyone should remember that women and men of different shapes exist and should not hurry to choose the final option.
Is It Normal to Use a Dildo During Sex with a Partner?
However, it is quite okay to use a dildo during intercourse, mainly because it can turn up the heat for both individuals. A dildo can also be used for both partners’ pleasure, turn-taking with a strap-on, or for an insertion while providing external contact. As much as using toys during sex is healthy, it should be done in consultation with your partner to ensure that you both are at ease. Some naughty couples discover that using dildos brings a change in the type of feeling for sexual penetration between the two people, hence males and females, thus making the sexual experience more enjoyable.
