How to Prepare for Dildo First-Time Use
The first time for anything can be nerve-wracking. And when it comes to using a dildo for the first time you want to create an environment where you feel safe and comfortable. First, make sure this is your own choice. Don’t let anyone pressure you into using a dildo. Not everyone uses one, and you can change your mind at any point.
Once you are sure you are ready for a dildo, try to remain as comfortable as possible. Listen to your body and do what feels right. Inserting a foreign object into the most sensitive part of your body is a lot. Go slowly. Not many people can fully insert a dildo right away, so again, don’t feel pressured.
If you feel uncomfortable or experience any pain, be sure to stop right away. You can always try again later. Finally, try to use lube. This will help with insertion and make for a better over-all experience.
Safety tips

Though beginner dildos are rather soft and gentle toys, we recommend a generous amount of lube to be used with them every time
Safety is key when it comes to finding the right dildo, especially if it is your first time. Always pay attention to what your body is telling you. If it’s telling you to stop, do so right away.
Find a safe location to use your dildo. Make sure you are comfortable where you are and also who are with.
Dildos are meant for a specific purpose so if anything hurts, then it is not safe. You can also use lube to help prevent any tearing or feelings of pain.
How to Pick the Best Dildos for Virgins
Before you pick your first dildo, start by thinking about what your fantasies are. Then, think about any previous experiences you’ve had with your body and what you have enjoyed. The best dildos for beginners will be a blend of these two categories.
To help you narrow down your ultimate choice, pay attention to these features so you know what to expect.
Length and circumference

First-time dildos are compact items, that focus on pleasing you by stimulating the G-spot and relax the muscles
First-time users of dildos will want a small, thin dildo. Not only is this less intimidating but it won’t overwhelm you with the first uses. Most of the dildos on our list are 5 inches long for their insertable length. This is a manageable length and remember that you don’t have to insert the entire toy.
The smallest on our list is the Lovelife Cuddle Mini at 4 inches while the longest is the JimmyJane Canta at 6 inches. You can also check out this list of the best small dildos for more ideas.
When it comes to circumference, you also want smaller measurements. A diameter that is between 1 and 2 inches is perfect. This way you will get a satisfying experience but it won’t feel uncomfortable.
Material
Material is key when you are looking for a dildo for your first-time use. Silicone is perhaps the best material as it is soft and somewhat flexible. As an added bonus, silicone is usually room temperature so you won’t be shocked by a cold touch when using one. If you want a larger selection of silicone dildos, then check out our list of the best soft dildos.
On our list, we did include one glass dildo, the Glas Candy Land. Even though glass can be a harsher material and not usually recommended for beginners, this is one of the better glass options.
When using glass, go slowly. Also, you can place a glass dildo under warm water to help heat it up first.
Stimulation
Most dildos require you to stimulate yourself with the object. If you are looking for a bit more power, then consider the Lovelife Cuddle Mini as it also acts as a vibrator.
Those who want to enjoy some hands-free fun should look for dildos with suction cup bases. Some options include the HoneyPlayBox Logan, the JimmyJane Canta, and the Lovehoney Slimline.
You can also look for dildos that have ridges along the side. These may be uncomfortable at first but with more experience you may come to enjoy them.
Design

In variety of dildos, you can pick glass models to try out temperature play with warmed up toy
When it comes do dildos, there are plenty of designs to choose from. You can find realistic dildos, such as the HoneyPlayBox Logan, which looks like a real dildo. You can also find gorgeous dildos, such as the Glas Candy Land. Made from glass, it has ridges along the side for maximum pleasure and has an elegant look to it.
Even if a dildo looks simple, such as the Lovehoney Slimline, it is still made for maximum pleasure. Slight curves will help hit all the right places and a smooth tip will help for easy insertion.
Durability
The dildos on our list are made to last. As long as you clean them after each use, they will last you for at least a few years. Just make sure to clean and dry them properly and then store them somewhere safe.
Cleaning easiness
If you are new to dildos, it might be a bit of a surprise to learn that you need to clean one after each use. Not doing so can lead to bacteria growth and infections. All of the dildos on our list are easy to clean. Simply use warm soapy water and let them air dry.
If you want an even easier cleaning experience, try the Tantus Acute Dildo as it is actually dishwasher-safe.
