What is a silicone dildo?
A silicone dildo is a dildo made of medical-grade silicone, which is non-porous and body-safe. One of the best things about a silicone dildo is the way that it feels and looks. Silicone can be made to feel very much like skin, with a texture that is both firm and flexible. That is why silicone is an excellent choice for people looking for a toy that closely resembles the real thing.

In terms of size and shape, silicone dildos come in various options, from small and slender to large and girthy.  Some models have textured or ribbed surfaces, while others may be curved or angled to target specific erogenous zones. 

Moreover, silicone dildos are also easy to clean and keep up because you can wash them with soap and water or a specialized sex toy cleaner. They are also durable and long lasting, making them a good investment for anyone looking for a high-quality sex toy. 

Are silicone dildos safe to use?

Yes, silicone dildos are generally safe to use as they are made of a non-porous and body-safe material. It is also hypoallergenic, making it less likely to cause an allergic reaction. It does not contain harmful chemicals like phthalates or BPA that can be found in some other types of sex toys. The material is also easy to clean and sanitize, which can help keep bacteria and other infections from spreading.

Although, keep in mind that not all silicone sex toys are created equal. Some lower-quality or counterfeit products may contain fillers or additives that can make them less body-safe, so it is important to purchase from a reputable manufacturer or retailer to ensure that you are getting a high-quality, body-safe product. 

Additionally, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and caring for your silicone dildo, as improper care or cleaning can damage the material and potentially compromise its safety.

Can I use a silicone-based lube with it?

It is generally not recommended to use a silicone-based lubricant with a silicone dildo. This is because the silicone-based lube will cause a chemical reaction with the silicone material of the dildo, causing it to break down or degrade over time. This can compromise its safety and effectiveness.

Instead, opt to use a water-based lubricant with a silicone dildo. Water-based lubes are compatible with most sex toys, including silicone dildos. Moreover, they are easy to clean up and gentle on the skin. They also provide a smooth and slippery sensation that can enhance your sexual experience.
