Tips on Choosing, Using & Cleaning Dildos.

If you’re new to using a dildo or dong, read on to learn how to get the best, most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible from these popular sex toys.

When it comes to inserting pleasure products for gratification, vaginaly or analy, size does matter. For some, length is a priority and for some it’s all about the width. Remember it’s easier to control the depth of penetration, especially if you’re playing solo.
Beginners to dildos usually start with something comparable to, or a little smaller in dimensions than what’s typical to the real thing. Look for something that has an insertable length of around 6 inches (15cm) with a width of about 1 inch (2.5cm) to start with.

When choosing your dildo, you should be considering 2 factors. Where it will be inserted and what material it’s made from.

For vaginal use, the range of lifelike, realistic dildos to replicate the look and feel of a man’s penis can be made with silicone, PVC and TPR/TPE.
Then there are non-realistic dildos, often designed for targeting a woman’s G-Spot and double ended dildos, popular with lesbian couples sharing the experience with their partner. These can be made using additional materials including stainless steel and glass.
Anal dildos, specifically designed for the derrière are typically larger and firmer, especially when used by men and are made using all the popular materials.

Lube Up

Next, consider lubrication. During arousal, the vagina naturally produces secretions, with the amount varying from woman to woman.
To make insertion comfortable, especially to start with, always use a quality lubricant.
If your sex toy is made using, or has a component of silicone, always use a water based lubricant. Silicone lubricants are fine to use with adult pleasure products made from rubber, plastics, stainless steel, glass or anything but silicone.
Look for one that is thick, more gel like because it will not be absorbed through your skin as quick, reducing the need to reapply during sessions lasting longer than a few minutes.

A collection of anal lubricants has been made specifically for anal dildos and other sex toys made for back-door adventures, which should be considered as they counter the fact that the anus, unlike the vagina does not produce secretions.

Discomfort is the main adverse comment made by newbies to using dildos. Starting small and using one of the quality, specifically manufactured lubricants will be a great start.

Enhance the Experience

Start slow and if you do find anything uncomfortable, apply more lube or use one of the specially formulated sexual enhancers which will increase your arousal level, producing more of your natural secretions.
These products are also ideal during intercourse too, but be warned, a little goes a long way, with many women experiencing squirting during orgasm after application.

For anal use, there are desensitising gels such as Tush Eze Gel, marketed to women and Anal Eze Gel aimed at men.

Hygiene Is Important

Before you start applying lubes, knowing where these sex toys go, hygiene is important to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Apply one of the antibacterial sex toy cleaners that don’t contain alcohol you’ll also find for sale online. Do not use hand sanitisers that contain alcohol, unless the toy is made from stainless steel or glass. Now you’re ready to play!

Once you’re finished, cleaning your dildos is as easy as washing them with warm, soapy water before applying your antibacterial sex toy cleaner again. Lastly, dry (air drying is best) then store away in a dark, dust free, dry place ready for the next time you’d like to play with your favourite adult sex toys.
Note too: Any product made with silicone should be individually wrapped and not come into contact with another silicone surface to avoid damage.
