WHAT IS A DILDO?

A dildo is a sex toy that is specifically designed for penetration, both vaginally and anally. Unlike a vibrator, a dildo usually does not vibrate, although there are vibrating versions. Dildos come in all shapes, sizes and materials: from realistic with veins to sleek and modern made of glass or metal.

KEY FEATURES OF A DILDO:

  • Made for penetration
  • No or minimal vibrations (unless combined with vibrator function)
  • Can be used solo or with a partner
  • Versatile in terms of material (silicone, glass, metal, acrylic...)

THE BENEFITS OF A DILDO

A dildo is more than just a sex toy. It can be a tool for:

  • Self-discovery : get to know your own body better
  • Pleasure : Experience deep, controlled stimulation
  • Relationship Enrichment : Perfect to use with a partner
  • Therapy and pelvic floor training (for example for vaginismus)

HOW TO USE A DILDO? STEP BY STEP

Whether you’re new to dildo use or ready for a new experience, these steps will get you there:

1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT DILDO FOR YOU

  • Beginner? Choose a smaller model, preferably made of soft silicone.
  • Looking for deep stimulation? Try a curved dildo for the G-spot or prostate.
  • Are you adventurous? Then glass or metal dildos are an option.

2. PREPARATION IS KEY

  • Hygiene first : Clean the dildo before use with warm water and toy cleaner.
  • Use lubricant : Especially with anal sex or with materials such as glass or metal. Always use a lubricant that suits the material (e.g. water-based for silicone dildos).

3. TAKE TIME FOR FOREPLAY

Start slow. Stimulate yourself or let your partner do it. A relaxed body is essential for good penetration.

4. INPUT AND STIMULATION

  • Insert the dildo slowly.
  • Play with angle, depth and movement.
  • For G-spot: move in a “come here” motion.
  • For prostate stimulation: try a curved dildo with a wider head.

5. AFTER USE: CLEANING AND STORAGE

  • Clean the dildo immediately after use.
  • Allow to dry thoroughly and store in a hygienic place, preferably in a separate storage bag.

IS USING A DILDO SAFE?

Yes, provided you follow some basic rules:

  • Never use an anal dildo vaginally without cleaning it (because of bacteria)
  • Do not share dildos without a condom or thorough cleaning
  • Always choose safe, body-friendly materials

FAQ: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DILDOS

Can I use a dildo in the shower?
Yes! Please note that the material is water resistant, especially models with suction cups.
