Tips for Choosing Your First Dildo

If you've experienced and enjoyed the world of vibrators and want to explore deeper (pun intended) into the world of sexy toys, you should consider buying your first dildo. It can be a lot of fun, choosing a new pleasure toy, but it can also be daunting when you don't know exactly what you're looking for. Dildos come in all shapes and sizes, with different colors and textures, so how do you know which one is right for you? Fear not! Below, you'll find a guide to help you navigate the different dildo options.

Material Girl

There are several different material options available to you while you're picking out your first dildo. They all have their own set of benefits, so it basically comes down to personal preference and the stimulation and sensations you're looking for.

Silicone and Latex - When browsing for new toys, you'll find a lot of dildos are made of silicone, latex, or a blend of both materials. These materials are highly recommended and stand up over the test of time. Both are great options for pleasure, but silicone has a softer feel to it. So, if you're looking for a softer touch, and since this is your first dildo you might very well be, silicone might be perfect for you.

Glass and Properly Sealed Ceramic - If you have a silicone or latex allergy, or simply aren't interested in those materials, don't worry! There are still options for you in the world of dildo play. Glass and properly sealed ceramic, for instance, have gained popularity over the years. Glass dildos can be a lot of fun because they're often crafted into works of art. Who says your dildo can't be really pretty? Glass and sealed ceramic can add additional pleasure and sensation to your dildo play that other materials can't, since you can alter their temperature. Be very careful not to heat or cool them to dangerous temperatures. You could burn yourself, and over time, cause weak spots in the toy that can cause breaks. 

Rubber and Jelly - Rubber and jelly dildos are often the least expensive among the dildo options and can feel the most realistic. But, it's important to note that they can't be fully sterilized like the other options on this list. You should still clean them regularly, but if you're using your dildo while playing with a partner, it's important to use a condom on the dildo to keep both you and your partner safe.

Size Matters

One of the most appealing aspects of picking out a dildo is that you get to choose the size! You can get them long and thick, average, or a little thinner. You might wonder why some dildos are fairly small. These are best if you plan to use the dildo for anal penetration instead of vaginal. If you're new to anal play, you definitely want to start small and work your way up. If you're using your dildo for vaginal penetration though, you can choose one that's long and thick, providing that's what you're into. If you're not sure what you want, start with something average - one that's roughly six inches long and not too thick.

Your Personal Preferences

Now that you've decided on material and size, it's time to make some fun choices. Companies have become very creative with dildos over the years. There are several different designs, textures, colors, and patterns to choose from now.

Choose Your Colors - Do you want a realistic looking dildo that's a peach or dark brown? Or would you rather have fun colors, such as pink, purple, or even rainbow? This is entirely up to you. 

Choose Your Texture - One of the greatest things about dildos is that they come in different textures. These textures can increase your pleasure immensely during toy time! Of course, you can play it safe and get something smooth and soft. There's certainly nothing wrong with that. After all, you know your body and what feels good to it. However, if you think (or know) that you'd enjoy a little texture, then enhance your experience by choosing a dildo with lots of texture and ridges. A good rule of thumb is, if you don't like the way a dildo feels when you slide it across your palm, you probably won't like how it feels inside you. It's not 100% accurate, but it's true in most cases.

Vibrating or Traditional - If you're familiar with vibrators and like the sensation, you might enjoy a vibrating dildo, as it provides you with stimulation that you know you enjoy while also pleasuring you in new ways. It's the best of both worlds.

G-Spot - There are some dildos designed specifically to stimulate your G-spot, which is appealing for obvious reasons. These dildos make it easy to reach and focus on G-Spot pleasure, so if you know that's something you want, this style might be the perfect first choice for dildo play.

Choosing a new dildo opens up an entirely new world of pleasure and sensation during toy time. The good news is, there are plenty of options, so you can find one that works perfectly with your body and desires. Plus, you don't have to stop at one. You can continue trying new things and have fun experimenting. Just remember to relax and have fun
