What is A Dildo?

Dildos are sex toys intended to stimulate penetrative sexual pleasure. Dildos can be put into the mouth, the vagina, or the anus. The traditional dildo is made to look and work like a penis. But recent innovations in the world of sex toys have made dildos way more exciting and fun. Now, there are endless options for dildos to choose from. There are plenty of different shapes, sizes, materials, and features that are customized to cater to unique and individual kinks.

What's more, dildos are versatile enough to be used for solo and partnered sex. Although all dildos are great for solo play, there are specific dildos that are designed to elevate the experience of masturbation for you. An example of that would be self-thrusting dildos. You no longer have to strain your hand by manually thrusting the toy.

And for partnered sex, we recommend playing with the remote-controlled dildos. With this feature, you can surrender your pleasure to your partner by having them take over the vibration level or thrusting pattern of the toy. In addition, strap-on dildos are a great option for having fun with your partner too.

All in all, dildos are a staple for many sex toy enthusiasts. It is pretty straightforward and simple to use. For experienced dildo users, you'll never get tired of this toy, as there are always new variations being released in the market. For beginners, dildos can be a good option too. There are a lot of uncomplicated and gentle dildo options available for you to explore.

When Were Dildos Invented

Unofficially, the first dildo was invented when a lonely housewife discovered that a cucumber or banana served her well in the absence of her husband.

Kidding aside, dildos were traced as far back as 29,000 BC, but the sex toy became more prominent during the Italian Renaissance. The word dildo came from the word 'diletto', which simply means pleasure. From there, more and more people discovered the joys of using a dildo for genital stimulation.

Originally, vibrators were used to relieve muscle cramps. Now, they're used to explore sexuality and promote sexual well-being.

The Honey Play Box Dildos

Here at HoneyPlayBox, we strive to leave you satisfied. That is why we have curated a beautiful selection of dildos that will cater to the wants and needs of our customers. Here are some of the dildo types that we currently have in our store:

Realistic Dildos:These types of dildos are made to look like a real penis. Depending on the manufacturer, some are even molded after the real penis of a famous person. Nonetheless, these dildos are designed with a flesh-like color and realistic veins. This type is usually made with TPE materials, because this material mimics the feel of real skin the best out of all the other materials.

Vibrating Dildos:These dildos can be operated with a remote control or buttons on the toy and contain an integrated vibrator or motor that offers additional stimulation. They may also have various vibrational patterns and intensities, as well as any shape or size.

Strap-on Dildos:These dildos are made to be used for penetrating sex with a partner while being secured by a harness. They can be different sizes and shapes, and they might have a flared base to keep them firmly in the harness.

Double Ended Dildos:These dual-ended dildos can be used by two people simultaneously or by one person for double penetration. They may be straight or curved, and the ends may range in size or texture.

Double Penetrator:These are made to penetrate two orifices simultaneously, usually the vagina and the anus. They often have a long, thin main shaft that is meant to be placed into the vagina and a smaller, shorter shaft or plug that is meant to penetrate the anal wall.

Self-Thrusting Dildos:These are intended to mimic the penis's thrusting motion during sex. The majority of these toys feature a motor that drives a mechanism that makes the toy rock back and forth, simulating the rhythmic action of penetrative sex.

Some of these self-thrusting didos come with a remote control, while others can be controlled using an app on the phone. 

How to Use A Dildo - Discover the Best Dildo For You

Realistic Sex Toys

Every girl fantasizes about a hard and throbbing cock filling the insides of their very being. However, this isn't always possible. Thank goodness for sex toys and realistic dildos that can act as the real thing when one isn't around!

Realistic dildos are for those who want the sensation of being penetrated by a real penis. These sex toys are often long and of considerable girth, with others having extra features such as thrusting mechanisms or vibrating modes. With vein linings on the shaft and a pronounced head, you'll surely enjoy playing with realistic dildos.

When using a dildo it's best to go slow and introduce the sex toy bit by bit. Always be mindful of what you're doing and pay full attention to where it is and the sensation you get from the device. Lube up, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride!

Dildo for Solo Play

A dildo in solo play is fun, mostly because you can dictate what it does. You have full control over the sex toy, e.g., where it goes, how deep it goes, and any kind of movement or angle for maximum pleasure.

Solo play dildo isn't that complicated- just think of it as a man-toy you can boss around. So, dream up a roleplay scenario that gets you all wet and tingly, then follow the script. It can be a straightforward in-and-out routine when you want a quickie in the middle of the day, or a drawn-out affair involving your neighbor, crush, or favorite adult star. In a nutshell, you can go as slow or fast as you please!

Of course, a threesome or groupie scenario will involve multiple sex toys, but the setup will depend entirely on you. Acclimate with your dildo first before getting into rough play or going deep.

Anal Play

If you're wondering, 'can a dildo be used as an anal toy?', then the answer is a resounding yes. Using a dildo for anal penetration does come with more tips and instructions for safety reasons.

First, do not insert a dildo into your anus without putting on some lube on the sex toy. Going in dry is a huge no-no, because you'll experience micro-tears and general discomfort. So, a word to the wise- lube up and take the time to ease in rather than being hasty.

Anal play beginners will do very well by following the dildo instructions for solo play. Test the waters by easing the sex toy in gently, then go deeper whenever you're comfortable. Unlike vaginal penetration, it's possible to orgasm with a dildo up your ass a few inches in. The pleasure spots are shallow, kind of like the clit and g-spot, so no further entry is required.

Couples Play

Now this is where dildo play gets more interesting. Couples play can be enhanced with the right dildo in tow to act as a third wheel. For example, you can do a spit-roast sex position with a partner banging away while sucking the dildo. Or, you can stick the dildo to a wall via suction and blow your man's penis.

You can also do a double penetration with the penis and dildo going their respective holes. However, you should keep in mind that a dildo that has entered the anus should not be allowed to get inside a vagina for sanitary and health reasons. If you're so inclined, stop and take a short break to wash the dildo, then go ahead and have the dildo penetrate the vagina.

Can I Use A Dildo for Anal Play?

Yes. You can definitely use a dildo for anal play, but make sure to choose one that is specifically designed for your anus, since most vaginal dildos come in a bigger size. It's important to be cautious of the size, especially if you are inexperienced with anal play.

With anal dildos, they are typically smaller and more slender than ordinary ones. Its ends are tapered to make insertion smoother, and its base is flared. They are similar in design to anal plugs. They also have smoother textures to avoid friction and pain when inserted into the anus.

Keep in mind to use plenty of lubricant specifically made for anal sex. Avoid using regular lube if you can because it tends to dry up faster. Also, if you're a beginner, choose to start with the smallest dildo and just move up from there.

What's the Best Material for A Dildo?

This really depends on your personal preferences and sexual needs. What is important is that you choose a body-safe and non-porous material. Apart from the material, consider the size, shape, and texture of the dildo that is comfortable and pleasurable enough for you.

But if you must insist, we recommend that you go for a dildo made out of silicone materials. Silicone is a favorite when it comes to sex toy materials, because it is non-porous, hypoallergenic, and quite easy to clean. Its texture is also very realistic to touch. But there is a catch: silicone can be more expensive than other dildos made from other materials. If silicone is not for you, some of the best materials to look into would be glass, stainless steel, pvc, and rubber. 

Are Glass Dildos Safe?

Can glass dildos break? How can you use a glass dildo safely? These are common fears and questions before trying a glass dildo. The answer is yes, a glass dildo can break if dropped from a great height onto a hard surface. However, during personal use by sliding it into your vagina and with all thrusting motions, it won't shatter inside at all.

A glass dildo is made of medical-grade borosilicate glass, which is generally stronger and more durable than regular glass. It is completely safe to use and adds to the sensation with its unique feature of temperature sensitivity.

How do I Clean and Care for My Dildo?

Like with any other sex toy, cleaning your dildo before and after use is very important for your hygiene and safety. Upon receiving the package, make sure that you disinfect your dildo by running it under room-temperature water and washing it with a gentle soap. You can also choose to use a toy cleaner spray instead. Be sure to clean your toy thoroughly, especially after use. You don't want your dildo to host unwanted bacteria and germs.

Also, avoid sharing toys between partners without disinfecting them. Keep in mind that STDs can easily be transmitted through the sharing of sex toys.
