Buy a dildo that suits your preferences
Buying a dildo doesn’t start with the largest or most eye-catching model, but with the size, shape, and material that suit your experience and desired stimulation. Eroticon’s selection includes various models for solo use and use with a partner. So be sure to compare not only the total length, but especially the usable length, diameter, flexibility, and shape. Together, these characteristics determine how a dildo feels and how easily you can use it with control.
Which dildo is right for you?
For a first dildo, a smooth model with a modest diameter is often the most accessible option. If you already have more experience, you can opt for a larger size, a curved shape, or extra texture. A curved dildo can be used to target specific areas, while ridges and raised textures add variety. If you’re looking for a model for anal use, always choose a dildo or plug with a wide, secure base that can’t slide all the way in.
Note the usable length and diameter
The total length doesn’t tell the whole story. Sometimes part of the product consists of a base, handle, or suction cup and is not intended for internal use. Therefore, pay attention to the usable length and the diameter at the widest point. Take it slow when you want to try a larger size. Even a difference of a few millimeters in diameter can be clearly noticeable in practice.
Comparing Materials and Flexibility
Silicone dildos usually feel softer and more flexible than hard models. A firmer material provides more targeted pressure, while a flexible model moves more easily with the body. Always check the material information on the product page. When using silicone toys, it’s best to use a water-based lubricant, unless the manufacturer specifically states otherwise.
Shape, Texture, and Uses
A realistic dildo often has a recognizable shape and skin-like texture. Smooth models are easier to clean and provide a consistent experience. Models with ridges, bumps, or a curved shaft offer different sensations. A suction cup allows for hands-free use on a smooth, sturdy surface. Make sure the surface is clean beforehand and check that the suction cup is securely attached before you begin.
Dildo for manual use or for a sex machine?
The dildos on this page are primarily intended for manual use, depending on the specific product. If you’re looking for a dildo that fits an automatic machine, check out the separate category for sex machine attachments. A machine attachment has a specific connector, such as 3XLR, and is not automatically interchangeable with a regular suction-cup dildo. Therefore, always check the connection before ordering.
Use Safely and Build Up Gradually
Take your time, use plenty of suitable lubricant, and start with gentle movements. Stop if anything feels painful or uncomfortable. Only share a toy if it’s carefully cleaned in between uses or if a new condom is used over it. For different body openings, it’s best to use separate toys or clean the toy thoroughly before switching.
Cleaning and Discreetly Storing a Dildo
Clean the dildo before and after use according to the instructions for the material. Usually, lukewarm water and a suitable toy cleaner are sufficient. Let the product dry completely and store it separately, in a clean, dust-free place. Do not store different materials in contact with each other for long periods of time, as they may react with one another. In our accessories category, you’ll find products for use, cleaning, and maintenance.
