    Dildo Guide

    Dildos are the oldest sex toy available. A true tried and tested product that has stood the test of time and will continue to do so. With such a huge range of different styles, shapes, colours and materials to choose from, it can be difficult to pick the perfect one for you.

    A unisex sex toy, used by men, women and couples all over the world, these versatile toys are an essential for any sex toy collection.

    We've crafted our Dildo Guide specifically to help you find the perfect match for you today!

     

    WHAT EXACTLY IS A DILDO? 

    Well it is a synthetic phallus I hear you say! Haha perhaps not! Simply, it’s an artificial/fake penis or object used to simulate a penis. A dildo can be inserted into the vagina, anus or mouth, and used to create stimulation, which if done correctly will produce an orgasm. Sounds good right?!

     

    Portable Phallic Pieces

    Dildos really can get a lot more complicated after that. For example, it does not necessarily have to be penis shaped, they come in various shapes, sizes, textures, materials, colours and there is no way to guarantee you will enjoy it initially, since you will need to find the right dildo for you. You will need to consider the size, the shape and the materials to get that perfect comfortable fit.

     

    Key Points:

    WHY SHOULD I BUY A DILDO?

    Generally, you would own a dildo if you’re don’t have a steady supply of natural penis to subdue your cravings. You can store your dildo away privately and use it whenever you’re feeling horny to relieve natural urges. Dildos are mainly used by women to meet their needs, however many men and couples still use dildos to entertain their partner in the bedroom.

    Some personal advice is to start small and work your way up. You can still achieve satisfaction with a slightly smaller dildo used well, whereas picking a large dildo first can be less pleasurable if not painful.

    Dildos vary in price depending on various factors. We have worked over many years to get our prices as competitive as they are. Many of our dildos would be double their price at other major retailers.

    Dildos are ergonomically designed to simulate erect penis and are suitable for vaginal, anal and oral insertion. Dildos do not vibrate. Vibrators vibrate. Although we do stock vibrating dildos, so who even knows anymore!? Dildos come in a wide range of colours, sizes, and shapes; some dildos may even light up while in use.

    Why Should I Buy A Dildo?

     

    HOW DO I USE A DILDO?

    Although it may seem obvious at first, we want to provide some additional information about how to use your new dildo. By carefully taking care of your dildo, you will also take care of yourself in the process. Firstly, please use the dildo with lubrication – it does not take much to chafe your skin when rubbing your new member against it. That’s important to know when you plan on thrusting your new plaything in and out of your body.

    For best results, you want to get your dildo slick, this allows the toy to easily glide in and out of your body without too much rubbing. The best all-round lubricants we recommend are hybrid based – a little more expensive than your typical water-based lubricant but they are much slicker and longer lasting. If you want a standardsensation enhancing or flavoured lubricant – come over to our water-based lubricant section where you will find our enormous range from the top brands. They are inexpensive, so you can stock up on a few so that you can have a little variety.

    A top tip to note is that it is not a race. Take your time and set the mood, create some atmosphere for the occasion. If you’re planning a longer session with a new toy, you will need to break your new toy in slowly by allowing your body to adjust. This is another reason why you may want to start off small and work yourself up to the size you’ve always wanted.

    • Fantasise about whatever gets your rocks off
    • When you're finished, make sure your dildo is cleaned and stored properly

     

    HOW DO I CLEAN MY DILDO?

    The first thing you should do once you receive any sex toy from any retailer is to clean it! The toy will arrive sterile but it will still need to be cleaned first to ensure any debris from the packaging has been completely removed. 

    Thankfully cleaning a dildo from Sexy Emporium is super easy! Simply, fill a bowel full of warm soapy water, submerge your new dildo, clean and rinse the dildo. Once cleaned, leave to air dry! Top tip – don’t waste your money on sex toy cleaner, warm soapy water provides the best results and saves you money!  

    Be sure to never use a household cleanser or anything that could cause irritations
