Dildos

A dildo is an elongated sex toy that men and women use to penetrate the anus or vagina, bringing pleasure to themselves or their partner. No matter your gender or sexual orientation, this toy is suitable for everyone! It can also be used in numerous situations. This makes it an ideal tool for passionate foreplay. Moreover, dildos are commonly used in masturbation. Thanks to our wide assortment of different models, variations and sizes, you will easily find something suitable for you.

Insert the dildo and with mechanical in-and-out movements control the pace of penetration. Regardless of what the sex toy is made of or how big it is, we recommend using a sufficient amount of lubricant. This will facilitate penetration by making it smoother and avoid the risk of irritation, injury and infection.

The pleasure this toy will bring you depends entirely on the speed you give it. Compared to a vibrator, this type of sex toy is not automatic. In short, you have all the control over the speed at which you move it back and forth and stimulate in a pleasurable way for you or your partner. Some of the models feature a suction cup at their base that allows them to be used with a penis belt. You can also very easily attach it to the wall or the ground and start stimulation until you reach an explosive climax!

This is practically one of the most simply arranged sex toys, representing a penis but without a man behind it. The definition of “world’s oldest dildo” is usually associated with an elongated object made of stone and found during archaeological excavations in southern Germany. The artifact is 20 centimeters long, 3 centimeters thick and is estimated to be about 28,000 years old. Researchers believe the found object is very possibly symbolically representing male genitalia.

Whether this particular object was really used for self-indulgence so many thousands of years ago is hard to say. However, what has been found shows that the dildo is a true classic among sex toys. It usually depicts a real penis and is used for masturbation or to diversify sex with a partner.

Dildo and vibrator are often used interchangeably, so we’ll briefly clarify what the difference between them is: as the name suggests, the main difference is that vibrations are present in a vibrator! Dildos do not vibrate. The undeniable advantage of these toys is that they’re always ready to go into use, with no need to fumble for the batteries you were sure you left in the drawer or wait a long time for it to charge.

A dildo can be made of many different materials, just like a vibrator. In addition to the classic medical grade silicone dildos, you can also find glass dildos or metal dildos. What the different types have in common is that they all have an extremely smooth, slippery, non-porous surface, making for easy cleaning and making it completely waterproof. This, of course, means you can safely use your toy in the shower or in the bath.

The dildos are used for anal and vaginal stimulation, making them unisex – suitable for both women and men. Accordingly, the toys can stimulate the G-spot and the prostate. They come in all sizes and also in many different shapes, meaning that every beginner and advanced user can find a suitable toy for themselves.

To begin with, we will look at the variations in the materials used to make the dildos. Toys made entirely of silicone are extremely suitable for people without much experience in using sex toys. For more advanced people, it can be said that models made from harder materials such as glass or metal are more suitable. Glass and metal dildos are also extremely good for “temperature play” i.e. warming or cooling the toy. How exactly does this work? For example, you can briefly place the toy under hot or cold running water as the material will almost instantly take on the temperature of the water. In this way you can warm the toy for a more realistic feel or use the cold option for a tingling and surprising effect on the skin.

Apart from the material, dildos also differ in exactly what they stimulate. Those for the G-spot in most cases have a strong curve in their shape to make it easier for the woman to reach the right spot. Those for prostate and anal dildos are based on the same principle. When choosing an anal dildo, it’s nice to pay attention to having a stable and wide base at the toy to serve as a limiter to the depth of penetration while providing safety and security. Another category would be mini-dildos, which, thanks to their compact size, are particularly suitable when traveling.

An extremely special category are the so-called couples dildos – strap-on dildos or double dildos. Double dildos are conceived for partners who wish to stimulate each other simultaneously – vaginally or anally. The toys are comparatively longer than usual as they are tailored for penetration at both ends so that both partners can use the toy together. A strap-on dildo generally consists of belts and straps that encircle the hips and/or waist. There are also more interesting models that rely solely on the vaginal muscles to fasten and stay erect. These are tailored for double the pleasure for both partners at the same time. Strap-on dildos can generally be used for anal and vaginal stimulation, making them suitable for both hetero- and homosexual couples.

The answer to this question, of course, very much depends on your personal preferences and what you find important. Here below you will find a small list of criteria that we think would be important for you to help you choose the right dildo:

• Material: Silicone, Medical Silicone, Double Layer Silicone or TPE (Thermoplastic Rubber)
• Penetration depth as well as diameter
• Texture: strong/light flexibility, no/pronounced head, presence of realistic veins
• Color
• Presence of suction cup
• Waterproof
• No odor
• Volume and weight

Dildos made of silicone should only be used with water-based lubricants, as silicone lubricants would destroy the integrity of the material, which in turn can lead to health problems. Toys made of other materials can also be used with silicone lubricants. After use, the artificial penis can be cleaned with a little soap and water. For further disinfection and to remove the possibility of some more stubborn bacteria lingering, it is a good idea to use a special sex toy cleaner.

When using glass dildos with lube, extreme care should be taken and also when cleaning with soap, because the material becomes very slippery and can easily slip out of your hands. Glass dildos are generally made of tempered glass to prevent breakages and subsequently injuries from cracks and splits in normal use. But, of course, if dropped from a great height onto a hard surface it is bound to break. So be really careful!
