Exploring new sensations is one of the most exciting parts of sexual discovery. For many people, larger toys are a way to heighten pleasure and push boundaries in a safe, consensual way. Big sex toys offer multiple uses, making them versatile for solo sessions, partner play, and even some unconventional fun around the house. 

At Lovers Stores, we understand that moving up in dildo size can feel both thrilling and a little intimidating, but exploring with large sex toys should always be fun and enjoyable. That’s why we’ve created this guide on using dildos safely, so you can enjoy every moment with confidence, comfort, and care, knowing these toys are designed to work with different bodies.

Introduction to Large Dildos

Large dildos are a popular type of sex toy designed to deliver intense stimulation and heightened pleasure. With the growing acceptance and variety of sex toys, more people are discovering the unique sensations that large dildos can offer during solo play or partnered play. These toys come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and materials, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your desires and comfort level. Whether you’re looking to explore new sensations, add excitement to your sex life, or simply enjoy the feeling of fullness, large dildos can be a welcome addition to your collection. 

As with any toy, understanding the benefits and potential risks is key to making the most of your experience and ensuring your pleasure is always safe and satisfying.

Choosing the Right Dildo

Finding the right dildo is a personal journey, especially when considering larger options. With so many dildos on the market, it’s important to think about what you want from your toy. Do you crave the lifelike feel of a dildo in the style of a real penis, the extra buzz of vibrating dildos, or the versatility of silicone toys? Consider your personal preference for size, shape, and texture, as well as the type of penetration you’re interested in, be it vaginal penetration, anal play, or a mix of both. 

Some people enjoy experimenting with different toys to discover what brings them the most pleasure. Remember, there’s no right or wrong choice, what matters is that you feel comfortable, excited, and ready to explore. Take your time, try out different dildos, and let your curiosity lead the way.

Types of Large Dildos

Large dildos come in a diverse array of styles to suit every fantasy and preference. Realistic dildos are crafted to closely resemble a real penis, offering a lifelike look and feel that many find deeply satisfying. Vibrating dildos add another layer of excitement, delivering powerful sensations through customizable vibrations. For those who love to get creative, fantasy dildos feature imaginative shapes and bold designs that can take your play to new heights. 

When choosing a large dildo, pay attention to the insertable length and girth to ensure it matches your comfort level and desires. Whether you’re seeking the familiar sensation of a real penis or the thrill of something totally unique, there’s a large dildo out there that’s perfect for your next adventure.

Setting the Mood for Safe and Enjoyable Play

Creating the right atmosphere can make all the difference when using a large dildo. Start by setting up a space where you feel completely at ease, dim the lights, play your favorite music, or take a warm water bath to help your body relax. Take deep breaths to center yourself and let go of any tension. When you’re ready, apply a generous amount of water based lube to your large dildo and your body to ensure smooth, pleasurable sensations. 

Always listen to your body and stop immediately if you feel pain or discomfort. The goal is to enjoy every moment, so focus on what feels good and let your pleasure guide the experience. With the right mood and preparation, your large dildo can open the door to new levels of satisfaction.

Are Big Dildos Safe to Use?

One of the most common questions people ask is: are big dildos safe? The short answer is yes, as long as you approach play with preparation and patience. 

When using large dildos, it's important to know that the vagina and anus can stretch to accommodate bigger toys and will return to  normal size afterward. Stretching is a natural, temporary process that occurs when using large toys, and stretching is facilitated by proper technique and lubrication. Large toys are designed for a range of experience levels, and when used with plenty of lubrication, communication with your partner, and awareness of your body, they can be just as safe as smaller options. To prevent yeast infections and reduce harm, always use a condom or clean before and after use, especially if sharing or switching between holes. 

For anal use, always choose sex toys with a flared base to prevent the toy from getting lost in the anus during anal penetration. Both the vagina and anus have many nerve endings, making gentle, safe use essential to avoid injury and maximize pleasure. Partners should communicate openly about comfort and safety, and these practices are important for people of all sexual orientations. At Lovers we offer a wide selection of high-quality silicone dildos that are body-safe and easy to clean, so you can focus on pleasure without worry.

Should I Use a Big Dildo Differently Than a Smaller One?

Another frequent question is: should I use a big dildo differently? Larger toys do require a slightly different approach. It's best to start with a smaller dildo before progressing to bigger dildos, especially if you're new to this type of play. Unlike smaller dildos, where you may jump right into thrusting, with huge dildos it’s important to start slow and go slow. Begin with gentle movements, focus on deep breathing, and gradually build up sensation. You’ll also want to choose a comfortable position that allows your muscles to relax.

We recommend pairing your large dildo with a water based lubricant for maximum glide and safety. While the vagina can self lubricate, extra lube is often needed, especially with larger toys. It’s also important to remember that the anus cannot self lubricate, so lube is always a must when enjoying anal play.

How Can I Prepare for Using Dildos Safely?

Preparation is key when it comes to using dildos safely. Begin by setting the mood in a comfortable, relaxed environment. A warm shower beforehand can help your body loosen up. If you’re new to larger toys, consider starting with medium-sized options before progressing. Using your hands or smaller toys for warm-up is also helpful in easing your muscles. You can also use a small plug as part of your warm-up routine to help your body gradually adjust to huge dildos.

Always clean your toys with unscented soap and water or a dedicated toy cleaner before and after use to maintain proper hygiene.

If you plan to explore anal penetration, take time to prepare the rectum by starting with smaller toys and focusing on gradual stretching to avoid discomfort. For vaginal play, allow the vagina to open slowly by using plenty of lubricant and taking your time, which helps the muscles stretch comfortably for larger toys. And of course, keep a bottle of lube close by!

What Positions Work Best with Large Dildos?

When experimenting with big dildos and using dildos safely, positioning can make all the difference. Positions where you have more control, such as lying on your back with knees bent, or sitting upright, allow you to manage depth and pace. For those exploring with a partner, side-lying can provide comfort while still offering intimacy. 

The goal is to listen to your body, avoid strain, and embrace positions that give you a sense of control. Our collection of positioning aids and sex furniture at Lovers can help you discover the angles that feel best.

Exploring Advanced Techniques with Large Dildos

Once you’re comfortable with your huge dildo, you might be ready to try more advanced techniques for even greater pleasure. Double penetration is a popular way to experience intense stimulation, whether you use a large dildo alongside another toy or a double ended dildo with a partner. You can explore the combination of anal play and vaginal penetration, or focus on one area depending on your mood and personal preference. If you’re new to anal play, start with smaller anal sex toys and gradually work up to your large dildo, always using plenty of lube to keep things comfortable. Experiment with different lubricants to find what feels best for your body. If your dildo is silicone, avoid using silicone-based lubricants as they may degrade the material, water-based lubes are the safest option.

Communication, patience, and a sense of adventure are key as you discover new sensations and deepen your connection with yourself or your partner. With a willingness to experiment, your huge dildo can become a source of endless pleasure and excitement.

How to Clean and Care for Large Dildos

Proper cleaning ensures that your sex toys stay safe for long-term use. After every session, wash your dildo with warm water and mild, soapy water or a sex toy cleaner for thorough cleaning. Improper cleaning can cause harm to both the user and the toy by allowing bacterial growth or damaging the material. Dry thoroughly before storing your dildo in a clean, cool place - ideally in its own separate bag away from other toys to avoid damage.

Be Confident Using Dildos Safely

Curious but not sure if you’re ready to size up? The key is to listen to your body and desires, as different bodies respond differently to huge dildos. People of all sexual orientations can enjoy large sex toys, making them an inclusive addition to your adult toy collection. Remember, trying oversized dildos should be fun, and their multiple uses add to their appeal. Large sex toys as a broader category offer versatility, and your preferences may evolve over time. 

If you’re drawn to the idea of exploring with a big dildo, Lovers Stores offers a range of options to suit different experience levels so you can find the perfect fit.
