What is a dildo? It is a non
vibrating device, resembling
the penis in shape, size, and
overall appearance. Some
people include vibrating devices
in this definition. Others exclude
prosthetic aids, such as
"extensions." Some people include items
designed for anal penetration,
such as butt plugs, while others
do not.
Dildos come in various sizes
and can be used by both men
and women.
Early dildos were made of stone,
wood, leather, wax or pottery.
Leather dildos were popular
with some people and were
made with a filler of cotton rag.
PVC dildos with a softer PVC
filler have become popular and
most of the inexpensive dildos
sold today are made this way.
PVC and jelly-rubber toys have
often been found to be
problematic, because softeners
added to many plastics contain
Phthalates, which have been
linked to health problems. These
products cannot be sterilized
and manufacturers recommend
using condoms with these toys
for multiple users.
Silicone rubber dildos are much
more popular, easier to clean
and do not have the
characteristic plastic smell of
PVC. They were expensive
when first introduced, but are
now becoming more reasonably
priced, making them an excellent
choice for the first-time user.
Silicone holds body heat well, is
an excellent conductor of
vibrations and is also a robust
material that can be sterilized by
boiling or bleaching.

Metal Chrome Plated Steel or
Stainless Steel dildos are also
available. Users might prefer
steel because of its hardness
firmness, durability, and low
friction, especially when used
in conjunction with lubricant.
The fact that they are heavy
means they can be used to
exercise vaginal PC muscles.
Steel dildos can be warmed
or cooled in water, before use
to elicit a range of temperature
sensations, the also retains
body heat. Metal having a
polished non porous surface
may be sterilized in boiling
water, or in an autoclave.
Glass & Pyrex dildos have
similar features to steel ones.
These toys are solid, not
hollow, and usually made of
borosilicate glass. Glass like
steel may be used to apply
firmer pressure to a female's
G-spot or male's prostate
gland.
NOTE Dildos can transmit disease
between users and should
never be shared among users,
where this is a concern. This
is particularly true when using
dildos made of porous or
micro-porous materials, such
as most soft synthetics.
Smooth stainless steel or Pyrex
dildos are easier to clean than
non-porous, and are therefore
more easily sanitized, either
chemically or by boiling.
Silicone dildos can also be
sterilized via boiling or washing
with a diluted bleach solution
(10 parts water: 1 part bleach),
then rinsed well. If a dildos is
being used on multiple partners
we recommend to use a fresh
condom on the dildo with each
partner.
Some silicone dildos are
incompatible with some silicone-
based lubricants, users should
avoid combining the two without
doing a patch test before use. |
