The dildo is a classic among sex toys!

What is the difference between a dildo and a vibrator?

Often a dildo and a vibrator are used as synonyms, so we clarify: the main difference between a dildo and a vibrator, as the name suggests,  it's vibrations. Because dildos don't vibrate! The clear advantage of a dildo is that it is always ready to use, without having to charge the sex toy for a long time or insert a battery. Dildos can also be made from a wide variety of materials. In addition to the classic silicone dildos, there are also glass or metal dildos. Most of them have a very smooth and easy gliding surface that is easy to clean and completely waterproof. This means you can also use the toys in the bath or shower.

Dildos are unisex toys that can be used by both men and women, anally or vaginally. The G-spot and prostate can also be stimulated with toys. Dildos are available in different sizes, so that both beginners and advanced users can use sex toys for themselves, with or without a partner - at your discretion.

What are the types of dildos?

First, let's look at dildos made from different materials. Silicone dildos are very soft and especially suitable for beginners. Dildos made from harder materials like glass or metal are ideal for the experienced. Glass and metal dildos can also be easily heated or cooled. How exactly does it work? You can simply hold the toy in warm or cold water for a while and the material will automatically adjust the temperature. So you can warm the toy for a realistic feel, while the cool version provides an unexpected tingling effect on the skin.

In addition to the material, dildos also differ in the type of stimulation. G-spot dildos usually have a slightly more curved shaft so you can get to your pleasure point better. The same applies to the prostate and anal didos. When buying anal dildos, make sure that the toys have a wider stem or handle to prevent too deep penetration into the anus. The other category is the mini dildos, which are perfect for travel due to their compact format.

The so-called partner dildos, strap-on dildos or double dildos form a special category. Double dildos are primarily for couples who want to pamper themselves vaginally or anally at the same time. The toys are slightly longer than usual and have two insertable ends so that both partners can insert the dildo at the same time. On the other hand, a dildo strap is usually attached to a strap around the waist. Couples can pamper each other anally and vaginally.

This applies equally to homosexual and heterosexual couples.

What should I look for when buying a dildo?

Of course, it all depends on what you attach great importance to. Here we have put together a small overview of what criteria may be important to you when buying a dildo:

• Material: silicone, medical silicone, double-layer silicone or TPE.
• Length and diameter introductions.
• Texture: very pronounced / not very pronounced / pronounced head, realistic veins or not.
• Color.
• Presence of a suction cup.
• Odorless or scented
• Dimensions and weights

What should I pay attention to when using dildos?

Silicone dildo should only be used with water-based lubricants, silicone-based lubricants can damage the material. Dildos made from other materials (glass, metal) can be used with silicone-based lubricants. After using the sex toy, wash it gently with soap and running water. Toy cleaner can also be used to disinfect.

Be careful with glass dildos when using lubricants, oils, or cleaning with soap as glass toys can slip out of your hand very easily. Glass toys are usually made of shatterproof glass so that there is otherwise no risk of shattering or breakage during normal use. The exception is falling from a great height and onto a hard surface.
