How to pick a dildo that suits you

How to choose a realistic dildos? Maybe you've tried other sex toys, but now you want to try a dildo. They are definitely great, but buying realistic dildos can also be a bit overwhelming. There are tons of colors to choose from, as well as a variety of materials, shapes and sizes. Where to start? Follow these eight steps.

1. How realistic is it

The biggest consideration when buying a dildo is whether you want it to look like a real penis. Some people like lifelike visuals, but others are not so fond of them. If you are buying your first sex toy and want to use it with a male companion, it is best to choose a non-self-locking sex toy unless you discuss it with your partner first. In some cases, dildo sex toys may cause unnecessary jealousy between partners. Dildos come in fun, vibrant, non-realistic colors, such as pink, purple, yellow, etc. They are also available in realistic shapes in a variety of skin tones.

2. Determine the shape

Once you have determined the desired realism, you should determine the desired shape. Do you want the tip of the dildo to be slightly curved to touch the g-spot or p-spot? Do you want a design that tapers from a larger base to a thinner tip? Do you want the shaft to be curved or completely straight? Figuring out what you want the dildo to do will help you determine the shape you should choose. If you want something for anal sex, a tapered design will help with penetration. For g-spot sensation, a curved nib works best.

3、Choose the material

Dildos are made of a variety of materials. If you are concerned about phthalates, then you will want to look for phthalate-free toys. (Especially if you are going to use a dildo without a condom). If you plan to sterilize the toy (especially important if you are using it with multiple people), you will want a non-porous material such as silicone, glass, wood or stainless steel. If you want a dildo that requires little external lubricant, look for a dildo made of plastic, stainless steel, glass or wood. If you want other plush that will blend in perfectly with your body, look for dildos made of PVC, silicone, TPR/TPE or other materials.

4. Choose a size

The average dildo is about 1.5 inches in diameter and 7 inches in length. However, you may wish to choose something larger or smaller, depending on your preference. Some dildos are about 0.75 inches in diameter - some are larger than 3 inches in diameter. Lengths can also vary widely. Some dildos are only 4 inches long, while at the longer end of the double-ended dildo, some toys are over 15 inches long! If hiding the toy is an issue, I recommend choosing a sex toy that is more evenly sized to make it easier to spot.

5. Consider the base

Although it may not seem important, the base of the dildo will affect the way you use it. If your toy does not have a flared base, you will not be able to use it for anal penetration or strap-on harnesses. Many dildo enthusiasts also swear by the flared base because it provides a good grip for more violent thrusts. Some dildo bases also have special features - for example, a base that doubles as a suction cup for hands-free use. However, if you intend to use the dildo for anal penetration or harness straps, it is important to choose a toy with a flared mouth.

6、How about texture

Some dildos are completely smooth and easy to penetrate and don't require much external lubricant. However, some women swear by the pleasure a textured dildo can provide. The texture is very pleasurable. Textures include ripples, swirls, bumps, ridges, veins, and more. If you think you can improve your experience by adding some additional textures, it's worth looking into these options.

7、Special features

Some dildos have special features that may enhance your experience. Do you hate cleaning up after using a toy? Some toys are designed without as many nooks and crannies, or use materials that can be safely boiled and easily cleaned. Do you want to use a dildo hands-free? Check out a dildo fitted with a suction cup. Craving more vibration? Look for dildos designed with optional vibration settings so you can turn them on when you need to.

8. How about packaging

Sometimes, the packaging of sex toys can double as a storage aid. Some dildos come in boxes that are sturdy enough for long-term storage. However, many toys come in clear plastic boxes that may damage them in the long run. In case you are deciding between two toys, consider using packaging to help you make your decision.

How do I choose a dildo? Now you have a general idea of the types of dildos that are out there and all the features that are available. You may need to narrow down your top choices - otherwise, you can get a full assortment and figure out which one is best for you straight away!
