Are you ready to try a dildo but uncertain where to start? While a dildo has only one purpose – pleasurable insertion into one of the body’s orifices – you may wonder how to choose the best one for your needs. Sure, you can begin with choosing your favourite colour, but if you’re scared of trying one that’s too big, it’s best to start at the beginning.  

Choosing the Right Size 

Size can mean the length or the girth of the sex toy. You may wish to view a ruler for reference. If you have a partner, consider how their girth makes you feel. Is it adequate, or do you wish for something longer or wider, such as 1.5” to 2”? If you’re a post-menopausal woman, consider comfort. You can add lubricant to your dildo, but if you feel there might be some discomfort, a small dildo of about 1”-1.25” may be right for you. If you really enjoy experimenting, a longer and wider dildo, over 3” may be perfect for you. 

Best Materials 

Just like you wouldn’t cook your food in plastic, you’ll want to be careful what types of materials you insert into your body. You’ll want to avoid anything that’s super-soft, such as jelly, rubber, PVC, or even painted dildos. Besides being toxic, these items are porous, and that means that you could pick up a bad infection, as they can’t be properly sanitized. So, what to look for? Choose a trusted brand name that makes firm silicone or glass dildos.  

The Benefits of Choosing the Best Shape 

You have two shape-options when choosing dildos: your traditional penis-shape, or ones with additional knobs, bumps, or tips to provide double stimulation (most commonly used by women). There are also ones that have a suction-cup base, so you can sit on the floor or in the tub and not have use your hands to hold it in place. 

Where to Purchase? 

It’s recommended that you buy from a reputable online sex toy retailer, rather than a huge big-box store that doesn’t care about counterfeit brands, and may even resell returned dildos!
