Silicone vs glass vs steel: how to pick your first dildo
Three materials, three personalities. None of them are wrong; one of them is right for you.
Silicone: forgiving, warm, normal-feeling
If you’re unsure, start here. Body-safe, easy to clean, warms up fast. The Tantus Pop is my "first dildo" pick.
Tantus Pop
Slim silicone dildo, gentle curve. Great first dildo at a reasonable price.
Steel: heavy, sleek, lifetime toy
Cold until warmed. Once you’ve used the NJoy Pure Wand on a G-spot, the bar is set. Lasts forever, dishwasher safe.
One of the best toys ever made. Fight me.
NJoy Pure Wand
Stainless steel double-ended wand. Genuinely one of the best toys ever made.
Dual-density silicone: realistic, premium
The Vixen Mustang VixSkin has a soft outer over a firmer core. The closest "feels real" you can buy in silicone.
