How to Use a Dildo for the First Time

by Billy Ballistic on November 13, 2024

Nothing can beat the excitement of using a dildo for the first time. Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or somewhere in between, getting freaky using a dildo can be a fun and empowering experience that will take your sex life to a whole new level. 

However, if you’ve never used a dildo before, the first time can be a tad intimidating. It’s natural to feel that way. Trust us. We know. That is why we’ve decided to create this little guide to ensure your first dildo encounter of the third kind is not just exhilarating but comfortable and safe, too. 

Choosing the Right Dildo

If you’ve already bought your dildo, you can skip this part. If not, then know one thing - the dildo you use plays a massive role in your sexual experience. For the first, it’s best to choose a dildo in a more inviting size. Here’s how to find the perfect match:

  • Size Matters: For beginners, a smaller or slimmer dildo is usually a better choice. You can always size up later, but starting with a manageable size helps ease the experience and lets your body get used to the experience. 
  • Material: Look for body-safe materials like silicone, stainless steel, or glass. Silicone is soft and flexible, making it a favorite for first-timers, while glass and steel can offer different sensations. 
  • Shape and Texture: Some dildos are smooth, while others have curves, ridges, or realistic shapes. For your first time, it’s often easiest to start with a simple, smooth design. You can get more freaky later. 

    If you’re unsure about what’s right for you, feel free to browse our dildo catalog. We offer a whole range of dildos, coming in all sizes, materials, and textures. 

    Preparing for Your First Time

    As tempted as you may feel to get started the moment you unwrap your new sex toy, we have one word of advice - don’t. Instead, take your time and prepare yourself and your new toy before you take it for the first ride. Follow these simple steps:

    Step 1: Find a comfortable space. Pick a cozy, private area where you feel totally relaxed. Set the mood with soft lighting, calming music, or anything else that helps you unwind.

    Step 2: Lube it up. Using a lubricant is a must, especially for new timers. Opt for a water-based lubricant if you’re using a silicone dildo, as it won’t degrade the material. And remember one rule - there’s no such thing as too much lube. Use a generous amount to make the experience smoother and more enjoyable.

    Step 3: Take your time. There’s no need to rush. Focus on relaxation techniques like deep breathing or light stretching if you’re feeling tense. The more relaxed you are, the more comfortable the experience will be.

    Following these steps will make your first-time experience much more comfortable and relaxing. This will allow you to focus on your pleasure instead of worrying about how to use the dildo correctly. 

    How to Use a Dildo

    Okay, all set? Now for the exciting part! Here’s how to use a dildo:

    1. Get Comfortable: Start by lying down or sitting in a position where you can easily reach and control the toy. Experiment to find the position that feels most comfortable for you.
    2. Take It Slow: Begin by exploring the outside of your body with the dildo. Lightly trace it along sensitive areas and see how it feels. This warm-up phase helps you relax and get comfortable.
    3. Gradual Insertion: Once you’re ready, gently insert the dildo at a comfortable pace. There’s no need to go fast or deep right away. You might only want to insert the tip at first to get a feel for it.
    4. Adjust Depth and Speed: Gradually move the dildo in and out, adjusting depth and speed as you go. Let your body guide you. If something feels good, stick with it, and if it doesn’t, try a new angle or motion.
    5. Enjoy the Journey: Remember, there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to use a dildo. Listen to your body and explore what feels best for you.

    Experimenting with Different Techniques

    Once you’re feeling more comfortable with a dildo, you can experiment a bit with different techniques or positions. Here are a few ideas to try:

    • Try Different Angles. Adjusting the angle of the dildo can create different sensations. Tilt it slightly upward or downward to discover what feels best.
    • Explore Pressure and Rhythm. Varying the pressure and rhythm of your movements can make a big difference in pleasure. Some people enjoy a slow, gentle pace, while others prefer a quicker rhythm.
    • Add Clitoral Stimulation. For those with a clitoris, adding clitoral stimulation while using a dildo can create powerful sensations. You can use your hand or a vibrator for some extra intensity.
    • Experiment with Temperature: If you’re using a glass or metal dildo, you can warm or cool it in water to make things more realistic. Just make sure it’s a comfortable temperature for your body before using it.

    Cleaning and Care Tips

    Practicing proper dildo hygiene is a must. Clean your sex toy before and after each use. For silicone, glass, and stainless steel toys, use warm water and mild soap or a specialized toy cleaner. This way, you can rest assured your dildo is always safe to use. 

    How you store your dildo also matters. The best idea is to store it in a clean, dry place. A good tip is to use a pouch or case to ensure your toy stays dust-free. 

    Each material may have specific care instructions. For example, you should avoid silicone lube with silicone toys, and always double-check if your toy has any unique care needs.

    Wrapping Up

    And we’ve reached the climax of our guide. Trying a dildo for the first time can be an exciting and empowering experience. With the right preparation, toy selection, and a relaxed mindset, you’ll be well on your way to discovering what brings you pleasure.
