How to Shop for a Dildo

by Ann Andriani on June, 26th 2000

First of all, why would I want to use a dildo?

A dildo can enhance the sex life of women, men and couples. For both women and men, it gives each of them complete control over the size, girth, depth and speed in which they are being penetrated. It can also add a little extra zing and variety during masturbation. Couples may find it exciting when engaging in mutual masturbation. It can also be very visually exciting to penetrate your partner with such a toy. It also has a health benefit. As women go through menopause, their vaginal walls tend to thin which can make intercourse painful or discomforting. Using a dildo regularly will help maintain vaginal tone by exercising the vaginal muscles.

Safety tip….

Since dildos are generally used for insertion, the more sexual lubricant you have, the more enjoyable it will be.

So now what kinds of dildos are out there?

Realistic Looking Dildos

These dildos are exact replicas of penises and some come with testicles as well. You can choose Caucasian or Black, length and girth.

Double Dildo

This is a penis shaped dildo, but it has a penis head at both ends of it. It can be used by two people seeking penetration at the same time or, as long as it’s flexible, can be used to penetrate vagina and anus at the same time. But be aware that the penis head is the same size on both ends. They are sold in various lengths, girths and colors.

Vibrating Dildo

This one is exactly as it’s named. It’s a dildo that vibrates. They come in all different shapes, sizes and colors.

Inflatable Dildos

If you like a little bit of variety while being penetrated, this dildo comes with a pump so that you may make it larger as you pleasure yourself or your lover with it. Usually the difference is only a couple of inches and I believe it’s only length, not girth that increases.

Penis Shaped

If you don’t want a realistic looking penis type dildo, but like the penis shape, this is perfect for you. They are available in many colors and sizes, but don’t look frighteningly real.

Non Sexual Looking Dildo

If you would like a dildo, but don’t want it to look sexual in any way, then I recommend the Fire and Ice Glass Wand that is as pleasurable as it is beautiful.

Squirting Dildos

These are a hoot! Add even more realism to your experience with a dildo that actually squirts.

Silicone Dildo

Silicone Dildos are very smooth, having a velvety feel. What makes them so appealing is they they retain heat well and warm up to body temperature quickly. They’re non porous, so they are very easy to clean by soaking in boiling water  for placing in the top rack of your dishwasher.

Glass Dildo

These are the most sought after dildos available today. Not only are they beautiful to look at, glass dildos are the smoothest dildos you could use. They are high quality toys, each being hand blown. They are very sturdy dildos, a little pricey, but they will last you a lifetime. As long as they’re made of pyrex, you should be able to stick these babies in the top rack of the dishwasher for easy cleaning and sanitizing. They have some weight to them which really helps in giving you that feeling of fulfillment.
