How to Choose a Dildo

If you own sex toys, the chances are that you own a dildo. According to a recent survey, 75 percent of sex toy owners have a dildo in their collection. Yet if this is your first time looking for a silicone lover, you might be wondering how to choose a dildo.

In this guide, we’re going to give you some dildo recommendations so that you can find the toy of your dreams. 

Are you ready to learn more and start shopping? Then read on!

1. Decide On a Material

What’s the best dildo material? There is a wide range of different materials available but only a few are worth bothering with. We would particularly recommend avoiding jelly rubber dildos as these can cause irritation and are also porous, which means they’re very hard to clean.

The two best materials for a dildo are glass or silicone. Both of these are very easy to clean and aren’t porous. They should also not cause any irritation when they’re inside your body.

Glass dildos tend to be a little more expensive but they’re beautiful and can even be cleaned in the dishwasher!

2. How to Choose a Dildo: Size and Shape

When buying a dildo from a site like LitLove, you’ll have a big range of sizes to choose from. Yet which size is best for your body?

If you know how many fingers you like to use to masturbate with, you can measure the diameter of those fingers, which can help you decide on a size. Length you may have to eyeball, but we’d recommend avoiding huge dildos, at least for your first purchase.

Shape also matters a lot when it comes to deciding on a dildo. If you’re not bothered about realism, a dildo with a ridge on the shaft can feel great, while a curved dildo can help you hit your g-spot or prostate a little easier. 

You should also go with an appearance that you like. Some dildos have balls and some don’t, some aren’t shaped like a penis, and some are available in a range of colors. Choose the one you like the look of most!

3. To Vibe or Not to Vibe: That Is the Question

Would you like your dildo to vibrate or do you prefer a fully manual dildo? Some dildos come with space to put a bullet vibe in the bottom while others have rechargeable vibrators built-in. 

If you opt for a manual dildo, remember that you can always add a vibrating cock ring!
