Choosing your dildo before use

Before even fantasizing about your next solo or shared play sessions, select a model tailored to your practices and desires.

At Strap-on-me®, we offer a wide collection of dildos, giving you every chance to find your future pleasure ally:

• Suction cup dildo: ideal for solo, hands-free play and enjoying great freedom of movement thanks to its base that can be fixed to a flat surface, such as a shower wall, floor, wall, or even a headboard;

• Realistic dildo: this model, with visible veins and well-molded testicles, faithfully reproduces the shape and texture of a man's penis, for sensations as close to natural as possible and a more lifelike experience;

• Strap-on dildo: perfect for role-playing and enjoying the pleasures of pegging as a couple. Wondering what pegging is? It's penetration performed by a woman with a sex toy;

• Remote-controlled dildo: our remote-controlled sex toys are ideal for controlling the pleasure of another, discreetly;

• Double dildo: our double penetration dildos are designed for simultaneously sharing pleasure with two.

For solo use, the suction cup dildo is often favored. Thanks to its base that adheres to many surfaces, users can enjoy intense, hands-free pleasure sessions without needing another person to intervene in the play.

As a couple, harness-free strap-on dildos (or with a harness) and double dildos open up a world of possibilities and push the boundaries of shared pleasure.

Fans of anal sex can turn to slim and progressive models like an anal plug dildo, for example.

Finally, for vaginal pleasure, realistic or curved (G-spot) models are the most popular. To go even further in realism, our ejaculating dildos promise an astonishing, yet no less delightful, experience!

Hygiene and preparation before using a dildo

When it comes to pleasure, body and equipment preparation is key to a successful experience.

Always remember to:

• Clean your dildo before each use with warm water and mild soap or a special sex toy cleaner;

• Use a quality lubricant to avoid any discomfort or irritation.
  Mixgliss lubricants are particularly recommended as they are compatible with silicone sex toys and offer optimal glide;

• Do not neglect foreplay for a delightful build-up and a gradual increase in excitement;

• Choose a water-based or anal-specific lubricant for anal sex, always in generous amounts.

Techniques for using a dildo effectively

Using a dildo is not limited to penetration. Knowing the different areas to stimulate and the most effective techniques will increase your pleasure and that of your partner.

Vaginal stimulation (G-spot)

For stimulating the vagina, especially the G-spot, a slightly curved dildo is ideal. This will press against the anterior wall for maximum pleasure.

For good vaginal stimulation, vary the movements, rhythm, and intensity. Slow and gradual penetration, internal rotations, targeted pressure, or rhythmic back-and-forth movements.

Clitoral stimulation (external)

A dildo is not only for penetration. It can also be a great ally for stimulating and caressing your partner's entire body and exciting their erogenous zones. When positioned correctly on the clitoris, it promises beautiful clitoral orgasms. Use it flat or in small circles to intensify pleasure.

Anal stimulation

When it comes to anal stimulation, the key is gradualness. Depending on your experience level, start with a thin, classic dildo. Be sure to apply anal lubricant generously to limit the risk of discomfort and/or pain. Gently explore penetration after targeted foreplay on the anal area to fully relax the body, especially this delicate zone.

Prostatic stimulation (P-spot)

In men, the dildo can stimulate the prostate: this is where the famous P-spot is found. To optimize your chances of an orgasm, select a curved model and insert it gently and gradually.

Tip: change the insertion angle, play with depth, and make slight rotations to vary the pleasures.

For even more pleasure, whatever the practice, try temperature play (warm the dildo under lukewarm water or cool it under cold water). Ecstatic shivers guaranteed!

Couple play: how to incorporate a dildo into your relationships?

Before exploring new facets of your sexuality as a couple, the priority remains communication with your partner. It is essential that you are both willing to open up to this new experience.

Once you have agreed on the role of sex toys in your intimacy, explore the possible practices with these sex toys:

• Strap-on dildo for pegging: allows the woman to penetrate her male partner;

• Hands-free suction cup dildo: attach it to a chair or the floor to vary positions;

• Double dildo: perfect for simultaneously sharing penetration and pleasure.

These games open the door to more intense intimacy and new experiences and sensations.

After use: maintenance

A well-maintained dildo benefits from increased longevity and remains safe for the body.

A few maintenance steps to observe:

• Wash it with warm water and mild soap, or use a special sex toy cleaner;

• Dry it thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth;

• Store it in a fabric pouch or box away from dust and sunlight.
