Dildo Buyers Guide

Dildos are among the most popular of sex toys. They are also the oldest too, and have been around for well over 2000 years! There are 1000s of different types of dildo on the market of all different shapes and sizes: large dildos, realistic dildos, strap-on dildos, double-ended dildos and many others. The below guide should help you choose the dildo that’s right for you.

Firstly, you’ll need to have a think about what you are going to use it for. This may seem like an obvious question, but if you are looking to strap your dildo to a harness, then you’ll need to buy one with a flanged base so it can be held in place.

Size is also another consideration. There is a tendency for people to buy dildos which are larger than they actually need, or larger than they can handle. Remember, the bigger shape isn’t necessarily the sexiest shape (remember that line guys). Buyers need to also consider whether it’s length or width they are after.

The vast range of different shapes, textures and colours give consumers further dilemmas. Think about how you will be using the dildo, and it should help narrow your choice. If you want the toy to feel like a real penis, then you probably want to opt for a realistic dildo. Some of these have been moulded from an actual human penis. The orifice itself of course dictates what shape and texture you should consider. If you sometimes feel discomfort when you are first being penetrated, then a dildo with a narrow, tapering tip maybe your best option. A dildo with a round, blunt end is probably preferable for those who like a strong, forceful sensation at the moment of penetration.

Curves and ridges on a dildo help to provide very intense stimulation during penetration. If you are more sensitive, or maybe bruise a little easier then it’s probably best to opt for a smoother, smaller, straighter shaft.
