Your very first dildo was probably the only thing you could afford at the time, which left you with a likely case of "WTF" after several years of average satisfaction.
I feel your pain, brothers and sisters.
The wide and wacky world of dildos is far too big for anyone to navigate alone. We all need to stick together on this one, lest we fall victim once again to the old sex toys.
On the other hand, choosing a new dildo is not always easy. Not only are there many obvious choices, but the new products on the market have generated a lot of debate and curiosity.
With features that run counter to the latest technology and ergonomics that rival those of luxury mattresses, today's dildos are nothing like those of the past.
Honestly, we should be much more grateful for that.
Tips to help you choose the best dildo
In those days, men and women had to get a prescription from their doctor before they could get a decent dildo.
Before that, people made their pleasure sticks from household items like socks, rubber gloves and vegetables. And before that, there were individuals who made dildos out of stone, chalk and old bread.
So while we have come a long way in terms of improving materials and design, our culture has yet to catch up with the latest developments from dildo manufacturers.
These innovative products are not ordinary synthetic penises either.
Created to satisfy all tastes (even the most perverse or twisted), contemporary dildos straddle the line between medical-grade marital aids and fantastic novelty items.
Depending on the user's desires, needs and budget, a good modern dildo can be fully customized, just like your father's old hotrod.
And while choosing between options can be difficult, that's only half the battle.
It is also important to understand yourself as a buyer. Here are some things you should consider before looking at your first dildo:
Your reasoning
Why are you looking for a new dildo? Does your old dildo no longer fit? Has your current device seen better days? Or are you one of the lucky ones who just discovered the wonders of a great synthetic dick?
Regardless of which category you fall into, it's essential to know what you need in a good dildo. Otherwise, you'll end up getting caught up in something that doesn't work for you (in the worst possible way).
Know your reasoning like the back of your hand. If you want something extremely realistic, settle for nothing less. If you're looking for a dildo with extra features, hold out until you find out.
There is literally something for everyone, so it's time to be patient and diligent. Read product reviews to find out if the dildo you're considering is really cost effective, if you know what I mean.
Your skin type
They say beauty is only skin deep, but apparently, so is pleasure. Because the human body is a delicate thing, dildo manufacturers have not been able to create a material that is perfect for all known skin types.
And while silicone is generally considered safe for all users, it still poses some problems due to its incompatibility with certain types of lubricants. It's always something, isn't it?
Knowing your skin type can help you avoid irritations, rashes and allergic reactions that could be embarrassing, painful or even deadly. It's one thing to go to the emergency room because you used a sex toy It's one thing to be reckless, it's another to organize a funeral for this toy.
Most cases are not as serious, but you get my point. It's important to know yourself better than to know a manufacturer of sex toys. In addition, the materials your dildo is made of will determine how easy it is to clean and maintain.
Your budget
Your budget is going to play a big part in choosing your dildo. With prices varying widely and special cost considerations that we haven't discussed yet, I'm not sure the dollar you have on hand will stretch as far as you'd like. I'll keep my fingers crossed and try to steer you to the right products in the meantime.
But like everything else in life, you get what you pay for.
If you're extremely lucky, sometimes you can get a good deal when you least expect it. And as luck would have it, some dildo manufacturers offer secret discounts, coupon codes and seasonal sales throughout the year.
Keep your eyes open, soldier.
In the meantime, follow me.

Why use a dildo?
Dildos are cool because, well, they're realistic or fancy penises that aren't detached from any semblance of a human body. I know how scary and uninviting that can seem to some people, but for the rest of us, we understand the value.
Think back to the last time you wanted to coyote your way out of bed and you'll understand why dildos are so ubiquitous.
You see, a good dildo can perform a real and tangible service to those who use it properly. Contrary to popular belief, dildos are not exclusively for singles or people who want to get off in their basement with an industrial-sized barrel of lube and a nudie magazine.
Today's dildos are a whole new breed - sophisticated and elegant social butterflies on a mission of flesh and blood. I, for one, admire their bravery.
I've seen well-made dildos save boring marriages, prevent infidelity, keep the flame alive in a long-distance relationship, and help with stamina or endurance issues (sometimes simultaneously).
Dildos have the ability to gently open people's sexual shells by being familiar enough to induce a sense of comfort and erotically convenient enough to induce a feeling of extreme pleasure. It doesn't get much better than that, ladies and gentlemen. Can I get a round of applause?
Like all great legends, dildos know exactly what we want and are there to give it to us when we need it. Whether you like dildos big or small, thick or thin, realistic or fancy, there's bound to be something that suits you.
The hardest part is knowing whether or not the dildo you are considering buying is worth it. You don't want to rain on the dildo makers like they are strippers.
The 5 best ways to know if that dildo is worth it or not.
Buying a dildo is supposed to be fun and exciting, not frustrating and exhausting.
In any case, the marketers behind all the ads and promotions are smart enough to know that you'll keep looking even if you don't find what you want, especially if you're serious about buying a new toy.
They also know that you will eventually give in and buy something if they push hard enough.
You don't have to put up with this kind of attitude. Your time, money and satisfaction should be treated as valuable commodities in a market where demand is high but supply is low.
Here's how to get around all that useless junk to find a dildo that will really do the trick.
Consider the following 5 factors:
Dimension
Size is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing a new dildo, or any other sex toy.
Today's dildos come in a wide variety of sizes, from small to large and everything in between.
Depending on what you plan to do with yours, the size of the dildo will determine how successful you will be with it.
In other words, check the dimensions before you buy.
The total length of a dildo is determined by measuring the distance between the end and the bottom of the balls.
The insertion length, on the other hand, is determined by measuring the distance from the end to the bottom of the stem.
Both measurements are important, as one affects discretion and the other affects pleasure. Choose wisely by starting with a small size if you're not sure how your body will react to a large dildo.
Design
Are you looking for a realistic dildo or something a little more discreet? Would you prefer your new dildo to have balls or just a handle?
The design of your toy will affect many things, including, but not always, the following:
- Its shape
- its size
- its characteristics
- its safety
- its effectiveness
- Its appearance
- Its ease of use
- Its storage possibilities
Choosing your next dildo based on its overall design is probably a good idea, but only if you consider all the other factors.
Modern dildo manufacturers are constantly pushing the envelope to develop innovative products, which means that some of the items on offer are questionable and experimental at best.
Use your best judgment and try to be realistic with yourself.0
Handicraft
If you're like me, chances are you'll look at the extra features of a dildo when shopping because, quite frankly, that's the most interesting and enjoyable part. And while sex toys are designed to provide pleasure, there is more to buying them than just fun.
At some point, you'll need to get down to business and consider the build quality.
When it comes to dildos, craftsmanship is about the materials the product is made of.
The common materials for dildos are
- Silicone
- Cyberskin
- TPE
- Polycarbonate
- Latex
- Glass
- Stainless steel dildos
Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. So try to understand the different properties before making your choice.
Features
Understand that no two dildos are the same, even models that look similar or have the same basic properties. The features offered will tell you a lot about the quality of the product you are holding in your hands.
For example, good dildos always have the following three characteristics:
- Skin-friendly materials
- ergonomic handles or shapes
- A soft and/or smooth surface, without snags.
So, while you can find several options on the market, dildos worth their salt have a lot in common and should be recognizable to you. Upgrade things a bit by choosing a dildo with some extra bells and whistles like squirting capabilities, vibrations or realistic attributes.
The pleasure is endless when you have a well-made fake cock in your hands, and no one can argue with you on that.
Manufacturer
A quick note about the manufacturer. Many of them have earned their reputation in the market by being clever and sleazy, but not all of them.
Some are really legitimate, and it's up to you to spot the wolves in sheep's clothing.
Look for things like positive reviews, customer service availability, quality and/or money back guarantees, free samples, etc.
That's about the only way to tell the winners from the losers these days.

The end of the game
Finding the right dildo doesn't have to be as hard as you make it.
In fact, the most difficult thing should be the sex toy that you are about to buy. It doesn't matter if the product isn't perfect, because nothing in the world is and that expectation is absurd.
What matters most is that all of the features come together to create an enjoyable experience for you and your partner(s) (hopefully more than once).
If that requires a realistic 8 inch dildo with squirting capabilities and a suction cup base, then so be it.
You're in it to win it. If you're not first, you're last (or something like that).
FAQ about dildos for women
How to choose the best dildo for your body and your relationship?
The best personal toy depends on your desires, abilities and opinions. But don't forget to ask your partner what he or she thinks too.
High quality pleasure products can strengthen your relationship and improve your performance in bed.
So choose something exciting and easy to use. If you're a novice, start with a simple device with few features.
Then move on to more complex toys as you learn the ropes.
How to clean an insertable sex toy?
Cleaning your sex stash is not as difficult as you think.
Most units are easy to service or fully submersible in water. But always check your owner's manual for specific information. You may need to take special measures to wash, dry and store your unit.
In general, you can maintain your toys with a quick bath in hot water.
Use non-abrasive, hypoallergenic sex toy cleaners to wash the surface. And don't forget to scrub the nooks and crannies if your device has texture.
Then let your toys air dry before putting them back.
Is there a specific way to store a personal pleasure device?
You can store your items in several ways.
However, most people choose to store their personal pleasure products in a bedside drawer, medicine cabinet or closet.
In any case, always cover your device to avoid bacteria and other airborne debris. And never leave your toys in direct sunlight, as heat and UV rays can damage the materials.
Also, store electronics away from extremely hot or cold temperatures to avoid mechanical failure.
Can I hurt myself by masturbating with a dildo?
If you are not careful and ignore the warnings in the user's manual, you can get hurt playing with a sex toy. This is because personal pleasure products act like real human genitals.
So you need to keep them clean and protect them from the weather.
In addition, rough sex can lead to serious injury. So be careful when playing with metal pushing devices and dongs.
Also, be careful with the materials of the toy. You may suffer an allergic reaction if the materials are incompatible with your skin type.
Do dongs have a guarantee?
Some personal pleasure devices come with a manufacturer's warranty. Others may also include an additional retailer warranty.
However, this is not always the case. You should check the box, website or owner's manual to find more information.
Meanwhile, coverage usually includes repair and replacement of various parts. But user negligence is not on the list.
You are only reimbursed for manufacturing defects and mechanical malfunctions. And most manufacturer's warranties are only valid for one year.
How to register the warranty of a sex toy?
Registering your new dong warranty is easy.
First, check the user manual for more information. You will usually find a registration card in the box with step-by-step instructions.
If not, go to the manufacturer's website. And don't forget that some devices are automatically registered by the retailer when you buy them.
Also, keep your receipts. Many retailers and manufacturers require you to register your device within 30 days of purchase.
Can I use a vaginal dildo for anal sex?
Feel free to switch from vaginal to anal sex using the same device. But don't forget to wash the surface and the handle well before changing holes.
In fact, the anus contains dozens of harmful bacteria that could cause an infection if they enter the vagina.
Most sexual health experts suggest buying two separate toys for vaginal and anal penetration.
In any case, try to use antibacterial sex toy cleaning products to ensure maximum cleanliness.
What type of lubricant is best for dildos?
The best personal lubricant for dildos is always water-based. Other types of lubricants may or may not be compatible with the materials of your toy.
In addition, water-based lubricants are gentle on the skin. They also wash off easily, don't stain fabrics and last a long time. You can use oil-based products on some toys and silicone-based lubricants on others.
However, always consult the owner's manual for specific information. And never combine a silicone sex toy with a silicone-based lubricant, as you will damage the exterior.
Do I need any equipment or skills to play with a dong?
It is not necessary to have any specific equipment or skills to please yourself or a partner with a dildo.
However, it's a good idea to stock up on lubricants and sex toy cleaning products to stay safe.
In the meantime, find out if your device is compatible with a sling, if it can be mounted or not.
If so, gather your supplies ahead of time to avoid unwanted breaks. And don't forget to ask your partner what they want. Then try to incorporate those items into your next session.
What is the difference between a dildo and a vibrator?
The difference between a dildo and a vibrator is simple. It comes down to a tiny motor inside the handle.
Dildos penetrate the user's body to target specific erogenous zones and mimic realistic sex. But vibrators go even further. They also penetrate the body for pleasure, but their additional features allow for G-spot or P-spot massage for more intense orgasms.
Meanwhile, you can usually mount the dildos or use them in the shower because they are submersible in water. But many vibrators are not waterproof, so you can't get as kinky with them.
To learn more about how the two compare, pick a few examples and examine their differences.
