What is a Dildo? Questions, Answers, Advice and Tips. Part 2 of 3.

What should I look for in a dildo?

Finding the dildo that is right for you can be a very frustrating process. The range of sizes and features is overwhelming. Before buying a dildo, take a moment and think about what dildo is most likely to appeal to you. The key factors to look for in a dildo are shape, size and the type of material used.

Shape

When buying a dildo consider whether it is to be used anally, vaginally or both. If the dildo is going to be used for anal penetration, then you should look at butt plugs or dildos which have a flared base. A flared base prevents the dildo from going in too far.

The shapes of dildos these days are truly amazing. Some look like a penis complete with scrotum and testes while others may be shaped into recognizable figurines. The style of dildo that you choose is all based on personal preference. Some men and women may feel uncomfortable using something that so closely resembles a penis so there are other designs available to you. 

You can purchase a dildo that has an attachment which will gently massage the clitoris as it is used in the vagina. Watch out for adjustable or "bendable" dildos that have a hard plastic or metallic core. The harder material in the center can break the soft outer layer of rubber or silicone, potentially causing injury.

If you enjoy the traditional dildo shape, you might want to try the Crystal Jellies Classic 8". This inexpensive 8-inch dildo is perfect for vaginal stimulation. The ridges and texture make this one of the better designed toys on the market. 
Tip: Use with a dab of water-based lubricant.

Size

When using a dildo for vaginal penetration, consider the width. Dildos can range anywhere from 1''to 3'' in diameter, measured at the widest point. You may wish to estimate the width you prefer with your fingers, but the only real way to tell is to experiment. Most women have some idea as to the size they prefer. Size considerations are different for anal toys
Tip: If you are beginning to experiment with anal toys, start off small and work your way up. 

If you think bigger is better, then you're not going to get much bigger than this realistic model.

Material

Dildos are made from a variety of different substances including rubber, wood, glass, plastic and silicone. Each substance has certain advantages and drawbacks. Silicone is considered to be the best material, albeit the most expensive. Silicone is the smoothest and most flexible of all the materials. 

The fact that a silicone dildo does not have tiny grooves or bumps in the surface makes it an easy toy to clean. Furthermore, it can be made to quickly heat up or cool down. Silicone dildos are a costly item with some models selling for more than $100. The average silicon dildo is priced at around $35.

If you're looking for the most realistic texture and all around most wonderful dildo, then spend the money on a silicone model. Silicone will retain body heat and last a lifetime. To keep your silicone toy clean, you can boil it in water for a couple of seconds. 
Tip: You can place your silicone dildo in the microwave for 30 seconds before use. You'll appreciate the warmth!

Check out the Icicles #12 - Clear/Pink 7" Glass Dildo. This dildo can also be heated (microwave) or cooled (fridge) to your preference and offer a unique sexual experience with their smooth glass surfaces. 
Tip: Their elegant design allows them to double as fine glass art that can be kept and displayed on a shelf as opposed to hidden in a drawer.
