Which is the Best Dildo to Buy

By Elena Ognivtseva

A dildo is a phallic object designed for vaginal or ana l penetration. In layman's terms, it's a stick that you use to pleasure yourself. Dildos have been around since the stone age when they were carved from rock,but these days we have a wide range of materials that are somewhat more body friendly than porous stones. Dildos need to be lubricated before use to assist insertion, something that's especially important if you plan to use one anally.

Women, men and couples use dildos to replicate the sensations you'd experience during sex, so they're used by pulling and pushing the length in and out of the vagina or anus to mimic thrusting. Some dildos feature a sucker base or can be mounted into a harness to allow them to be used handsfree.

The shape, size and style of dildo you want depends on your requirements. If you want to buy your first dildo you should look for something smaller and slimmer that allows you to experiment easily. Check the dildos measurements and choose something measuring 6 inches or less with a girth of 4inches or less. You can also buy dildos that are designed especially for analplay, you can spot these by the flared or wider base. Again, if you're buying yourfirst anal dildo you should look for smaller sizes.

There are a huge variety of designs available, so read up onthese different types to help you choose the best dildo for you.

G-Spot Dildos

The G-spot is a sensitive part of the vagina located between 1and 3 inches along the top wall (in line with her tummy) and a G-spot dildo isdesigned to stimulate this sensitive area. Many G-spot dildos are crafted withan upward curve and a larger tip, but there are several designs to suitdifferent women.

G-spot massage is associated with squirting (female ejaculation) as well as more intense orgasms. Longer G-spot dildos also proveto be adept at stimulating the A-spot (also known as the deep spot), another incredibly sensitive area of the vagina located further along the top wall than the G-spot.

Glass Dildos

Harder, firmer and cooler to the touch than dildos made fromplastics and elastomers, glass dildos have achieved cult status thanks to theiruse during temperature play. You can pop a glass dildo in the fridge to cool itdown or immerse it in a bowl of hot water to warm it up. Once it has reachedthe desired temperature, it will retain its warmth or coolness for much of yourplay to create new erotic sensations.

The glass used to make a glass dildo is incredibly strong andit won't break during play. Be careful not to drop it and store it in a sex toystorage bag to prevent damage. You can even put most glass dildos in yourdishwasher to clean them if desired.

Silicone Dildos

Smooth, soft and silky to the touch, silicone is a syntheticpolymer that can be used to better replicate the soft touch of real skin andthe density of flesh. Some silicone dildos come in the form of a realisticshape while others have a more neutral appearance.

Silicone is a popular choice for dildos as it's easy tomaintain, can be warmed or cooled like glass and lasts a very long time. Youshouldn't use silicone lube with silicone sex toys as this can cause them tobecome irreversibly sticky to the touch.

Textured Dildos

Not all dildos follow the smooth and sleek shaft design you'd expect. Taking a leaf out of the book of textured condoms, textured dildosapply bumps, ridges, nodules and rounded spikes to the surface of the shaft tointensify sensation. If you're particularly insensitive or prefer firmer, morevaried stimulation then a textured dildo is the ideal choice for you.

Inflatable Dildos

Using large dildos is a passion for many because stimulation feels more intense when our pelvic floor muscles are stretched. It usually takes some training to get used to bigger sizes so inflatable dildos are an inexpensive and easy way to slowly increase your limits.

Inflatable dildos are inserted while deflated so their size doesn't pose much of a challenge. Once in place the internal pump is used to inflate the length and girth to bigger proportions. Many inflatable dildos contain latex and are therefore not suitable for those with a latex allergy.Check the description carefully for allergy advice.
