Dildos: Types, Materials & How to Choose

Welcome to your definitive guide to internal pleasure. At Aren't We Naughty, a proudly Canadian-owned and operated adult boutique since 1983, we understand that finding the perfect toy is a deeply personal journey. Whether you are shopping online with discreet home delivery or visiting our welcoming, judgment-free retail locations in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, our goal is to empower your sexual wellness journey.

Unlike vibrators, which often focus heavily on external clitoral stimulation, dildos are expertly crafted to provide a deeply satisfying feeling of internal fullness. From hyper-realistic designs to high-tech rotating masterpieces, let’s explore the different types, essential materials, and how to choose the perfect fit for your body and desires.

Why Choose a Dildo for Your Intimate Play?

Incorporating a dildo into your solo sessions or couples' play opens up an entirely new world of sensation.

  • Targeted Internal Stimulation: They are the ideal tools for exploring internal erogenous zones like the G-spot, the A-spot (deep inside the vaginal canal), or the prostate.
  • Versatility: Many dildos feature a strong suction-cup base, allowing for hands-free play in the shower or compatibility with strap-on harnesses for couples.
  • Pacing and Control: Non-vibrating options allow you to dictate the exact rhythm, angle, and depth of your pleasure without relying on automated motors.

The Main Types of Dildos

With an incredible variety of shapes and functions, knowing the categories is the first step to finding your perfect match. Here are the top styles available at Aren't We Naughty:

Realistic Dildos

For those who crave the visual and physical sensation of the real thing, realistic dildos are carefully molded to include lifelike details such as a pronounced head, textured veins, and a base with testicles for added realism and exterior stimulation.

The Addiction Ben 7" Dildo with Balls - Black is a fantastic, classic choice. It offers a highly realistic texture and a satisfying girth, making it a staple for anyone looking for authentic-feeling internal fullness.

High-Tech Rotating & Vibrating Dildos

Why choose between vibration and penetration when you can have both? Modern dildos have evolved to include internal motors that not only vibrate but also feature internal beads or shafts that spin, creating a swirling, 360-degree sensation that targets all internal walls simultaneously.

The Naked Addiction 8" Rotating Vibrating Dildo with Remote - Caramel is an absolute game-changer. Crafted from luxurious silicone, this toy provides a hands-free, deeply immersive experience with a remote control that is perfect for solo exploration or handing over to a partner.

Automated Thrusting Dildos

If you want the sensation of natural, rhythmic movement without having to do the physical work yourself, a thrusting dildo is the ultimate luxury. These toys physically expand and contract or move up and down to simulate intercourse.

For the ultimate all-in-one experience, look no further than the Naked Addiction 8.6" Silicone Rotating Thrusting Vibrating Dildo with Remote - Noir. Combining rotation, vibration, and a dynamic thrusting action, this top-tier toy delivers mind-blowing, hands-free pleasure that mimics the real thing with breathtaking accuracy.

G-Spot and Curved Dildos

Designed with a distinct, upward-curved tip, these toys are anatomically crafted to hook directly onto the G-spot or prostate. They are usually smooth, sleek, and highly targeted.

Materials Matter: Choosing the Right Feel

The material of your dildo dictates not only how it feels but also how you must care for it.

  • Platinum Cured IncrediFeel Silicone (Premium Choice): As seen in our Naked Addiction line, this premium body-safe silicone is soft, non-porous, and designed for a smooth, lifelike feel. It warms to body temperature, is easy to clean, and offers long-lasting durability.
  • TPR/TPE/Jelly: These materials are often softer and more affordable, providing a squishy, lifelike texture. However, they are porous, meaning they require careful cleaning and should be stored in separate bags to avoid melting or absorbing bacteria.
  • Glass and Metal: Perfect for temperature play (they can be safely warmed in warm water or cooled in the fridge), these materials are rigid, heavy, and completely non-porous.

How to Choose the Right Dildo for You

  • Step 1: Consider Your Experience Level: If you are a beginner, do not immediately jump to an 8-inch toy. Start with a smaller, slimmer profile (around 4 to 6 inches in insertable length) to allow your body to comfortably adjust.
  • Step 2: Check the Base: If you plan on using the toy for anal play or with a strap-on harness, a flared suction-cup base is absolutely non-negotiable for safety and stability.
  • Step 3: Choose Your Features: Do you want a traditional, quiet experience, or are you looking for the high-tech thrill of the thrusting and rotating features found in the Naked Addiction line?

The Essential Companions: Lubricants and Toy Care

No vibrator purchase is complete without the right lubricant and proper cleaning supplies.

  • The Golden Rule: Never use silicone-based lube with silicone toys (like the Swan Kissing Swan), as it can damage the material over time. Always pair your silicone vibrators with a high-quality water-based lube. It’s also best not to store silicone toys touching other silicone toys, as the materials can react and affect the surface. Store each toy separately in its own pouch or dedicated storage bag.
  • Toy Hygiene: After every use, wash your vibrator with warm water and a specialized antibacterial toy cleaner to protect your investment and your body.

Here's What People Have to Say

At Aren't We Naughty, our community’s feedback helps guide our collections. While we fiercely protect our customers' privacy, our reviews frequently highlight the incredible value of our products:

  • "The Naked Addiction rotating dildo is out of this world. The remote makes it so easy to cycle through settings without breaking the mood."

The Essential Companions: Lubricants and Toy Care

Friction is the enemy of pleasure. To ensure a smooth, comfortable experience, a high-quality lubricant is required.

  • The Golden Rule: If you are purchasing a premium silicone dildo (like those from Naked Addiction), you must never use a silicone-based lubricant, as it will break down the toy's surface. Always use a generous amount of premium water-based lube.
  • Cleaning: Wash your toy before and after every use with warm water and a specialized antibacterial toy cleaner. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it in a dedicated toy bag.

FAQ

Yes, but only if the dildo has a flared base or a strong suction cup that is significantly wider than the toy itself. This ensures the toy cannot be accidentally drawn inside the body.

Because silicone naturally retains heat, you can soak your 100% waterproof silicone dildo in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes before use. This warms the material, making it feel remarkably lifelike.

Suction cups work best on completely smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces like glass, tile, or smooth fiberglass shower walls. Be sure to lightly moisten the bottom of the cup before pressing it down to create a vacuum seal.
