Looking to spice up your sex life but not sure where to start? Well, you’ve come to the right place! If you're considering buying a dildo for the first time, there are a few things you should know. There are different shapes, sizes, materials and colours of dildos out there, so let's take a look at some of the most popular types and what they have to offer.

Realistic Dildos

As the name implies, these dildos look like real penises. They come in all sorts of colours and sizes and can even be textured for more realistic sensations. Realistic dildos usually have veins on them for an even more lifelike experience. Some may even vibrate for added pleasure.

 

Double Ended Dildos

These are longer than normal dildos and feature two ends that can be used separately or together. Double ended dildos allow you to penetrate yourself from both ends at once (or one end while using the other hand on your clitoris). It’s basically like having two hands free during sex!

Glass Dildos

Glass dildos are perfect if you’re looking for something unique. They come in all sorts of colours, textures and shapes – so no matter your preference, there is bound to be something that will tickle your fancy! The best part about glass is that it is non-porous (so it won’t absorb any bacteria) and easy to clean – simply wash with warm water and soap after each use. Plus, glass is great for temperature play because it can be chilled or heated up before use.

Vibrating Dildos

 

Vibrating dildos combine the pleasure of penetration with vibration stimulation - making them great for solo or partner play. These typically come with adjustable speeds so you can find just the right level of intensity that works best for you. Some vibrating dildos also feature suction cups which make them easier to use hands-free. 

Fantasy themed dildos

 

Everyone has their own fantasies and what way better to act these out with the dildo of your dreams? From dragon to horse and tentacle dildos: you name it, the internet has them. Before you become too enthusiastic, make sure to watch out for the following factors when placing an order for a dildo on the internet. After all, we don't always know what's in stock, the quality, or even where to begin. That's why it's important to be an informed consumer when it comes to buying a dildo from the internet.

Here are 3 factors things to watch out for when shopping online for your next dildo

1. Know The  Dildos Material

The material of the dildo you choose is probably the most important factor when it comes to your purchase. Different materials offer different levels of durability and flexibility, as well as sensation. Make sure you read up on the type of material each product is made out of before making your purchase so you know what kind of sensations to expect. Be aware that some materials may not be body-safe or phthalate free which in turn can be harmful for your body again. Always make sure to look for the product labels and certifications. At The Oh Collective we only work with body friendly silicone materials for our vibrating anal dildos and all of our sex toys.  

2. Dildo Size Matters

Size does matter when it comes to choosing a dildo—not only do you want one that fits comfortably but also provides enough stimulation without being too big (or small!). When shopping online, make sure to check the specifications of each product so you know exactly what size you're getting. If possible, take measurements at home before ordering so you get the best fit possible!

3. Know Your Budget

Quality sex toys come at varying price points depending on their features and materials used; however, just because something is expensive doesn't mean it's necessarily better than something with a lower price point. Make sure to research different brands and compare prices before committing so that you get something within your budget while still remaining satisfied with its quality.
