Dildos are non-vibrating sex toys usually shaped in the form of an erect penis. They are used for penetration, both anal and vaginal. Dildo properties that vary with design are:
- Dildo Shape
Depending on what your dildo is intended to do, the shape of your dildo must compliment it's use. Anal dildos are usually shorter and have a flared base so you do not lose the dildo while inserting in the anus. This happens all too often.
- Dildo Size
The size of your dildo should be considered carefully because the dildo penetrates the body. A dildo that is too big can be harmful and a dildo that is too small can be unsatisfying. If you are not sure what size your dildo should be, start small and thin and experiment your way up the scale.
- Color of Dildo
Because a dildo is used to simulate an erect penis, fantasizing with a dildo is common. The color of your dildo can help you pretend it is something in your fantasies. Or if an incognito color is selected then the dildo may be more easily hidden from the embarrassment of others finding it.
- Dildo Texture
A dildo that is coarse and rough could be uncomfortable and a dildo that is slippery and smooth may not be stimulating. Dildo texture is extremely important and because it is often difficult to feel sex toys prior to purchasing, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the common materials.
- Dildo Material
There are rubber dildos, silicone dildos, hard plastic dildos, glass dildos, metal dildos, jelly dildos, ultra-realistic dildos and so on. New advances in technology have provided sex toy manufacturers a cost effective life-like material that simulates real skin. Some of the common life like materials are UR3 (Ultra Realistic 3) and Cyberskin.
- Dildo Firmness
Different materials provide different levels of firmness or durability to withstand excessive forces. Silicone, rubber and jelly dildos are all very soft and flexible. On the other end of the scale are Pyrex glass and hard acrylic dildos.
- Cleaning of Dildo
It is important to clean your dildo properly. A dildo will last longer with proper care and cleaning your dildo after use is a safety precaution against germs. Some materials may require special cleaning steps or can not be cleaned with some soaps. Check with the manufacturer if not sure.
