HOW TO CHOOSE A REALISTIC DILDO

Do you want to shop for a realistic dildo for a lifelike feeling when masturbating, but you don’t know where to start? This article helps you learn more about choosing a realistic dildo, its benefits, and factors to consider when using it.

There are many realistic dildos on the market. Sometimes shopping for one might be a huge hurdle that most people find hard to cross. A beginner is likely to feel awkward after visiting a sex toy shop, holding and gauging, and not knowing what type of realistic dildo you are in for.   Dildos come in a large variety of shapes and sizes. Realistic dildos look like the human penis, and when used, there are chances you will feel like being penetrated by your man. However, if you want a realistic experience with sex toys, your choice is a realistic dildo. Choosing a realistic dildo may not be easy. Therefore, seek guidance from a sex toy vendor or a person with experience.

What Are the Factors to Consider When Choosing a Realistic Dildo?

Material Used to Make the Realistic Dildo

There are many realistic dildos, but not all are made using one material. Many materials create realistic dildos for different experiences, determining your preference. The common materials used for making realistic dildos include:

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)

The thermoplastic elastic material is porous, and a person spends more effort cleaning them after use. According to Snyder & Sapper (2022), realistic dildos made of TPE are soft, elastic, and look like real skin. The real feeling comes when using the realistic dildos made of TPE. Moreover, the materials are flexible and can take any shape, making them easy to maneuver. It is cheaper compared to silicone, meaning you have an advantage here. Also, many realistic dildos made of PTE are free from phthalates and latex, making them friendly for a person regardless of their skin’s allergic conditions. You can clean your realistic toy made of phthalates using antibacterial soap or toy cleaner and dry it after rinsing with clean water.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Realistic dildos made of PCVs are made pliable using plasticizers. The texture ranges from soft to firm, depending on the formula used to mold the dildo. The material is phthalates-free; it is safe for you regardless of your health condition. It does not invoke allergic reactions to your skin. Unfortunately, the material is porous; it hides bacteria when used. The bacteria hidden in the pores are not easy to clean off and disinfect. Use non-latex condoms to protect it from being attacked by bacteria. According to Singha et al. (2017), the oil in the PVC realistic dildo is not compatible with latex condoms; it can tar or degrade them. Ensure that your realistic dildo made of PVC is stored away from other sex toys because it can break or degrade when it comes in contact with other materials.

CyberSkin, Real Skin, Fanta Flesh, Ultra Skin & UR3

These are the most common material used to make realistic dildos. They are soft and squishy, making you feel using a real penis (Lee, 2016). The texture, color, and shape of the realistic dildos made of these materials look like a real human penis. They are flexible, allowing you to perform different sex positions with your realistic dildo effortlessly. They are free from phthalates meaning your safety with the toy is guaranteed. Unfortunately, these materials are highly porous, and they easily hide bacteria after use. The worst thing is that cleaning and disinfecting the bacteria of the toy is not easy. Ensure you have strong chemicals and toy cleaners. The materials are manufactured using ingredients that may be sensitive to your skin if you have allergic conditions to one of them. However, you can avoid these drawbacks by using non-latex condoms to shield you and the toy.

Shape and Size of Realistic Dildos

Some realistic dildo looks like a real penis in shapes, colors, and sizes. However, some manufacturers add pimps on the dildo to give them a natural look and have the exact anatomy of the human penis. These features include veins and balls.

Size is an important aspect when purchasing a realistic dildo. Realistic dildos come in many shapes and sizes. Find a suitable one for you and your partner. Start with small, realistic dildos and graduate to large ones if you are a beginner. Always clean your realistic dildo after use to avoid rubbing dust and contracting infections. Store your realistic dildo in a cool and dry place to avoid building molds.

Realistic Dildo Texture

Realistic dildos are designed to have different textures on their surface. These features determine the degree of stimulation of each dildo. Rabinowitz & Auanger (2009) noted that most realistic dildos have vein-like structures for great sensations when penetrating your butt hole or vagina. Others are smooth and are great for beginners and anal play.

Nature Of the Realistic Dildo

Realistic dildos can vibrate or not. The vibrating element added in the realistic dildos offers more sensations when used compared to plain ones. Vallgårda et al. (2017) noted that vibrating dildos offer powerful vibrations that will deliver waves of powerful sensations to your erogenous zones. Consider shopping for vibrating realistic dildos if you want to arouse dormant zones on your body. You can also tease your body with them. Some may feature a wireless control medium, while others have a wired control mechanism.

What Are the Benefits of Using Realistic Dildos?

  • They offer a lifelike experience due to their real-like design.
  • They resemble a real penis meaning you won’t have to burden yourself with having sex with a toy.
  • The head is usually tapered for easy penetration.
  • They can be used for both anal and vaginal penetration.
  • You can use it for massaging the prostrate, G-spot, and the clitoris, especially the vibrating types.

The Bottom Line

There are many realistic dildos to choose from. Choosing a realistic dildo depends on your preference on the factors such as size, shape, the material used to make it, the nature of the toy, either vibrating or not, and ease of access. Have cash because the price varies depending on the make of the toy. Get yours today and have fun!
