A potentially major disadvantage often ignored by consumers is the material of a dildo that has to be conducive to comfort and safe usage. Here’s a breakdown of popular materials:
Silicone: smooth, stovetop-safe, headlight, and tear sheet types that do not stain, retain moisture, shrink, distort, or break easily.
Glass: not porous, suitable for temperature play and very slippery.
Metal: sturdy, fantastic for frying heat, and possesses consistency.
Rubber/TPE: Soffer, more flexible, but more permeable, and has to be washed carefully.
Jelly: Inexpensive but many of them contain things like phthalates, which are not very safe for our skin.
Dildo Safety Tips
Ensure that you always use water-soluble lubricant when using silicone toys because it may otherwise harm the substance.
Always wash this toy before and after any sort of use to ensure it is well cleaned and there is no buildup of bacteria.
Anal toys should not present any risk of being left inside the body, so for anal play, use toys with a paramIntticker base.
Listen to the body and begin gradually, particularly if it’s someone’s first time to use dildos or a certain type.
