Types of Dildos
http://www.sexinfo101.com/ut_typesofdildos.shtml


Most people understand the purpose of a vibrator, but fail to see
the purpose of dildos since they do not actively do anything that
you could not do yourself. The truth is; while the sensations
that vibrators give are unique and pleasurable, they can be too
intense for some people. Dildos offer a sense of fullness and
allow people who enjoy penetrating others to do so without
distracting vibrations, electrical cords or batteries.

Dildos, like most sex toys, are available in a wide variety of
shapes, sizes and colors and are made from a wide variety of
materials - each having its own unique characteristics. Some
materials are better suited for anal play and others for vaginal
use. For more information on material types, please click here.


Choosing the Right Dildo
It is no accident that there are a wide variety of shapes, sizes
and materials to choose from. Certain materials are better suited
for sharing with a partner, while other shapes are more
appropriate for anal play. All this translates into different
characteristics, and different care requirements. The first thing
to figure out is what you are going to use the dildo for:

Will you be using it yourself or sharing it?
Is it going to be for vaginal, anal, or both?
Do you care about cleaning difficulty?
The properties of the materials used (soft/hard)?
The flexibility of the dildo (bendable/rigid)?
Does a realistic looking dildo turn you on or off?
How big do you want it?


Answering these questions will help you narrow down the available
options, making your search easier, and increase your chances of
picking out a product that suits your needs.


Types of Dildos
Once you get an idea of what you are looking for, its time to
figure out what kind of dildo to get. Due to the overwhelming
varieties of products and uses, we will outline the most common
types.


Traditional Dildos
Traditional Dildos are the most popular variety of dildos on the
market. Although they are generally shaped like a man’s penis,
the realism of each one can vary. On one end you have the
ultra-realistic dildos, which are shaped and colored to look as
close to a real penis as possible. Some dildos are even molded
from the real thing! Porn stars have been lending their names,
and their penises, for sex toy molding in recent years. On the
other hand, there are dildos that are made from brightly colored
material and do not look like a penis at all. Traditional dildos
fall into a range of between 5" up to as much as 18" for some of
the larger varieties. Please click here to view traditional

Anal Dildos
Anal Dildos are specifically designed for anal use. They are
distinguishable from most other dildos because they usually have
a larger base or a cord, so they do not get lost in the anus –
not so amusing if it happens to you! If you plan to use a dildo
anally, we would recommend getting one that is designed for that
purpose, to avoid an embarrassing trip to the doctor. These
include anything from somewhat normal dildos all the way to butt
plugs. Please click here to view anal dildos.


Strap-On Dildos
Strap-On Dildos are dildos that can be attached to a harness.
Harnesses usually require that the dildo have a flat or flared
base to be able to stay attached. The dildo is inserted through a
hole in the harness, and then the harness can be strapped onto
the user. Many people enjoy the role-playing and variety
potential of a strap-on. Some lesbian couples enjoy penetrating
their partners with strap-ons. Some women enjoy penetrating their
male partners, while some men like to penetrate their partners
anally and vaginally at the same time. Please click here to view

Double-Ended Dildos
Double-Ended Dildos are dildos that can be inserted using either
end. This is a common choice for people who want to use a dildo
on themselves and with partners simultaneously. Double-ended
dildos can either be two standard dildos joined at the base, or
one that is molded with two working ends. These dildos, like most
other dildos, are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes
and colors. Please click here to view Double-Ended Dildos at our
toy store.
