Time for a Tech-Drop – Understanding What Goes Into a Lifelike Dildo

Gone are the days of boring toys with no personality and no thrills. Instead, today’s modern toys often incorporate the latest tech to make exciting, interactive gadgets.

A common tech you find is battery-operated vibrators. These vibrating toys may have a single speed or let you toggle through multiple.

Speaking of toggle, your toy may have buttons on the toy to control operation. Or you might have the luxury of a modern convenience like a remote.

If you’re shopping for a realistic dildo with advanced features like vibrations, how the toy gets power becomes a good criterion for limiting your selection to the perfect piece.

Some toys charge via typical batteries like AA or AAA. While others have built-in batteries that you charge using a USB cord.

And from what we demonstrated with our list, you can find toys that you manipulate manually, those that have vibrations, and even models that mimic the thrusting and rotating motions of sex.

Shopping in This Category – What I Expect

I am a connoisseur of sex toys, much like many people collect fine wines, shoes, and purses. And because I take my sex toy collecting seriously, I am very picky about the toys I choose to put into my body.

Seriously, y’all! You should use as much care when picking a sex toy as when selecting a sexual partner. The toy you choose today can cause issues a few years later if you use the wrong materials.

Getting to Know My Toy – What’s It Made Of?

The very first thing I do when I start shopping for a new toy, is check the product’s material.

Despite advancements in sex industry safety, many toys are made of unsafe ingredients. Did you know that there are no current safety standards for sex toys?

There are people out there that monitor everything we buy. And yet, something as important as an item that goes inside your body is not important enough to test for safety. How da fuq is that even possible?

Know before you buy! Here are some materials you DON’T want!

Phthalates are the number one ingredient you want to AVOID! You typically find phthalates in products like PVC, vinyl, or jelly. These harmful chemicals – used to make flexible plastic – can cause infertility and irritation.

Latex is another allergen that you want to avoid due to its allergenic potential. You also want to avoid anything porous.

There are several issues with porous toys, including the most important – cleaning difficulty. Porous toys typically have holes – pores – that can absorb and trap bacteria. And because of these holes, it is nearly impossible to get clean.

Body-safe silicone is the best choice for realistic dildos. These toys are always phthalate-free. And they give you a flexible, bendy real-deal feel.

Method of Play – Manual or Battery Powered

The word dildo often arouses images in the mind of a large, chunky awkward sex toy that you have to manipulate to get your release manually.

But we’re no longer left to fumble our way through an orgasm using the wrong toys. These dildos can come in various sizes, shapes, skin tones, and even anatomical correctness.

And even more, modern dildo models can even have a vibrator that allows you to have the realism of a cock with the delicious sensations of a battery-operated motor.

Re-Imagining the Anatomy Lesson – Enjoying Realism Without Matching Reality

When shopping for the most realistic dildo, you may want certain realism features. At the least, you’d probably expect your dildo to have a typical cock shape.

Many also have thick veining along the shaft. And you can even find dildos with distinct head shapes, from a bulbous circumcised to an erotic non-clipped cock.

Do you enjoy a hard dick but find you’re not much of a fan of the little buddies that dangle below? Then, great news! Finally, you can find dildos with all the realism of a hard cock but without attached testicles.

Selecting the Right Size – Find a Fit for You

Just like the real thing, dildos come in various sizes, from length to girth – that means circumference or thickness.

Knowing your body and what you find comfortable is the best way to get a toy that fits all your needs.

If you’re new to using dildos or sex in general, you’ll want to start with a smaller size. Going too big too fast can cause pain or injury. On the other hand, an experienced person may prefer something a bit more substantial.

When shopping for sex toys and considering the dimensions provided, know that two numbers are often listed for length. The insertable length is how much of the toy you can put inside your body.

Whereas product length is how long a toy is in its entirety, including insertable and non-insertable length.

Ways to Play – Hands-Free or Worn – Solo or Partnered

When browsing the different realistic dildos out there, you’ll notice they come with various features.

Some have suction cups built into the bottom, allowing the dildo to stick to a surface for hands-free play.

And many of them have an open slot at the base designed to hold an O-ring to let you attach your dildo to a strap-on or sex belt.

Toys without an O-ring compatibility or suction base can be more challenging to enjoy with a partner or when you want to play hands-free for better realism.

My Favoritest Most Realistic Toys on the Market

I’ve learned a thang or two in my time.

Primarily, there are two types of people when it comes to sex toys.

Those that are adventurous and enjoy the novelty side of things.

And those that prefer for their fantasy time to incorporate toys that look and function like the real thing.

If you want to explore your pleasure with toys that resemble the real thing, start your journey with these 7 options:
