As someone who loves sex toys, I’m always trying to find the safest materials to buy. I know the dildo’s purpose is for pleasure and stimulation, but I want to know how safe are the materials used to make them? It really bothers me, because I don’t want to risk my health. But, I don’t want to take the fun out of sex either.
I’m told silicone is the most popular material and probably the safest for dildos. It’s hypoallergenic and won’t cause skin irritation. It’s also easy to clean and you can use whatever type of lubricants you prefer. The downside is that silicone dildos tend to be more expensive compared to others which could be a deal breaker.
Next is latex, a semi-porous material that’s commonly used in condoms. So it’s just as safe. It’s also waterproof, soft and doesn’t cost as much as other dildos. However, I’m convinced latex can cause an allergic reaction for some people and some lubricants should not be used with latex.
Glass dildos are another favorite of mine. Despite what others might say, they’re actually quite safe. They’re smooth in texture and have no sharp areas that could cause cuts and scratches. Plus, they’re easier to sterilize compared to other materials. They can also get quite hot and cold so you can switch it up for temperature play.
Then there’s metal dildos which many consider to be the safest. Although, if metal isn’t cleaned properly it can cause infection. But, Penis Rings metal comes with a shiney finish that can make them look classier. Plus, they can be used with all types of lubricants as the material is non-porous.
Finally, there’s wood or stone dildos which are becoming increasingly popular. This material is completely safe and can offer rustic pleasure. The smooth finish and shape of a wood or stone dildo can make for a unique sexual experience. As these can be a homemade product, it is important to research or know the maker, in order to avoid fertilization.
It really comes down to personal preference as to which type of dildo material you decide on. I suggest trying several different materials and see which ones you like the most. I’m embracing the fact that there’s this much variety of materials available. After all, you want to ensure the safest and most pleasurable experience possible.
