Dildos and strap-ons: a respectful buying guide to size, type and care

Illustration: Intimate Wellness Products
Quick answer

Choose a dildo by comfort first: beginners usually start with a smaller or medium size and plenty of water-based lubricant. Manual models are simple; remote-controlled ones add movement or vibration. Strap-ons let partners share the experience. Clean before and after each use and store separately.

Key takeaways
  • Comfort matters more than size.
  • Plenty of water-based lubricant and a slow pace.
  • Strap-ons are designed for couples.
  • Clean and store each product separately.

Dildos are one of the oldest intimate wellness products. Choosing the right one is mostly about comfort.

Types

  • Manual dildos in different sizes and colours
  • Realistic dildos with lifelike shapes
  • Remote-controlled dildos with movement or vibration
  • Strap-ons designed for couples

Choosing a size

Start smaller than you think, use plenty of water-based lubricant, and go slowly. Comfort and relaxation matter far more than size. If penetration is painful or frightening, read fear of penetration and get support before using products.

Strap-ons for couples

Talk first, agree boundaries and check in often. See setting sexual boundaries and consent.

Care

Wash with mild soap and warm water before and after use, and store separately. See the care guide.
