Understanding the different types of dildos

The dildo market offers an impressive diversity, each designed to meet specific needs. We mainly distinguish between classic dildos, often phallic in shape and intended for vaginal or anal penetration, and vibrating dildos which add an extra dimension of stimulation thanks to their vibrations. There are also realistic dildos, molded from real penises for a more authentic experience, and suction cup dildos, designed to be attached to a flat surface, offering hands-free use. Finally, double penetration dildos allow simultaneous stimulation of the vagina and anus, for intense and shared sensations.

Classic vs. vibrating dildos

The choice between a classic dildo and a vibrating dildo depends on your preferences in terms of sensations. A classic dildo offers a more direct and controlled experience, ideal for exploring different penetration and masturbation techniques. It allows you to focus on the shape and texture of the dildo, as well as the pressure exerted. A vibrator, on the other hand, adds a vibratory dimension that can amplify pleasure and provide more intense and varied sensations. Vibrators often have several vibration modes, allowing you to experiment with different intensities and rhythms.

Choosing the right size and shape

The size and shape of a dildo are crucial elements to consider for a pleasant and satisfying experience. For beginners, it is advisable to start with a small or medium-sized dildo, in order to gradually get used to the sensations of penetration. The length and circumference of the dildo should be adapted to your morphology and your level of comfort. Regarding the shape, there is a wide variety of models, ranging from straight and cylindrical dildos to curved and textured dildos. Curved dildos are particularly suitable for stimulating the G-spot, while textured dildos offer a richer and more varied sensory experience.

The importance of textures and materials

The texture of a dildo can have a significant impact on the pleasure felt. Smooth dildos offer a soft and uniform sensation, while textured dildos, with ribs, bumps or reliefs, can further stimulate the erogenous zones. The choice of material is also important. Silicone dildos are hypoallergenic, non-porous and easy to clean, making them a popular choice. Glass dildos are smooth, hygienic and offer a unique feeling of freshness. Plastic dildos, on the other hand, are often more affordable, but can be porous and require more rigorous maintenance.

The different materials and their advantages

The choice of material for your dildo is essential for your comfort and safety. Medical silicone is one of the most popular materials because it is non-porous, hypoallergenic and easy to clean. It also offers a soft and silky feel. Glass is another hygienic and non-porous option, offering a unique feeling of freshness. Plastic dildos (PVC, TPR) are often cheaper, but may contain phthalates, potentially harmful substances. Make sure you choose a medical grade plastic dildo, without phthalates. Finally, some dildos are made of metal, offering a feeling of weight and firmness.

Silicone, glass, plastic: which material to choose?

Silicone is generally considered the best choice for a dildo, due to its safety, durability and ease of maintenance. It is non-porous, which means it does not retain bacteria and is easy to clean with soap and water. Glass is an excellent alternative for those looking for a feeling of freshness and impeccable hygiene. However, it is more fragile than silicone and can break if dropped. Plastic can be an economical option, but it is important to choose a medical grade plastic, without phthalates, to avoid any risk to your health.

Maintenance and safety tips

Proper maintenance of your dildo is essential to ensure its durability and your safety. After each use, thoroughly clean your dildo with warm water and mild soap. You can also use a specific sex toy cleaner. Then dry it with a clean cloth and store it in a dry place away from light. Avoid using harsh or abrasive products, which could damage the material. If you are using a vibrating dildo, remove the batteries before cleaning it. Finally, remember to use a water-based lubricant with your dildo for a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.

The importance of lubricant

The use of a lubricant is essential for a pleasant and irritation-free experience. Lubricant reduces friction and facilitates penetration, which can increase pleasure and prevent pain. There are different types of lubricants, water-based, silicone-based or oil-based. Water-based lubricants are the most common and are compatible with all types of sex toys. Silicone-based lubricants are more durable and offer a silkier feel, but they are not compatible with silicone sex toys. Oil-based lubricants should be avoided with condoms as they can damage them.
