As I’m sure you know, choosing a dildo isn’t always as simple as it sounds. Sure, it sounds like a basic task, but if you don’t know exactly what to look for in a dildo, it can become a daunting task. Never fear, I’m here to help!

First and foremost, you must decide what type of dildo you want. Are you looking for something for anal or vaginal use? Do you want a smaller more discreet dildo or a more realistic-looking one? There are plenty of options, so decide what you’d prefer before you start shopping.

Once you’ve decided on the type of dildo, your next choice should be material. Silicone or rubber are some of the most popular materials as they’re body-safe and non-porous. But if you’d like something a bit more unique, there’s glass, stainless steel, and even vegan friendly materials as well. Research the pros and cons of each material before making your selection.

Next, you’ll want to take size into consideration, because size really does matter! If you’re a beginner, try a smaller one. But if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous you can go bigger. Just make sure you remember to start small and work your way up.

Then consider the design and shape. Do you prefer something that’s curved, has ridges or bumps, or something with a bit of texture or a realistic look? Also, find out if there’s a curved shape that might be better for reaching your G-spot or prostate.

And finally, don’t forget about the vibrating option. If you want to add a bit of vibration, look for sex toys one that’s made with a strong and powerful motor. However, be sure to take time and choose the features and settings that you’ll enjoy most.

If you’re considering add-ons, like a harness or a suction cup, don’t forget to check compatibility with the dildo model you’re buying. It’s crucial to make sure the accessories and attachment will fit your chosen product as not all are interchangeable.

With all these steps in mind, you’re probably feeling pretty overwhelmed. Shopping for a dildo isn’t easy, but if you keep these guidelines in mind it can make the process a lot smoother and help you find the perfect dildo for your needs.

And now it’s time to look at what type of lube to use with your dildo. Generally, the best lube is water-based, as it works well with any material, regardless of the dildo you choose. Although some people prefer to use oil-based lubricant, it’s not suitable for use with latex, and can cause tearing.

Now let’s talk about cleaning the dildo. This is an important step that you must never forget. Proper cleaning of your sex toy is key to ensure a hygienic and safe experience. Soap and water should do the trick but, depending on the material of your dildo, you might need to take additional steps. Most high-end sex toys come with specific cleaning instructions, so be sure to follow them carefully.

When it comes to proper storage, there are several options. You can buy an antimicrobial pouch or a quilted storage bag to help protect your dildo from damage. You should also try to keep your dildo away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, as this can lead to discoloration and reduced quality.

And lastly, let’s talk about safety. If you plan on sharing your dildo with a partner, make sure you use condoms or other barriers to prevent any Cross Contamination. And of course, never forget to use safe and proper words of communication about the dildo and all activities involved.

Now that you know the basics of how to choose a dildo, you can confidently pick the one that works for you. Remember to take your time and ask questions, so that you find the perfect dildo to give you the pleasure and satisfaction you desire.
