Does It Hurt to Use A Dildo?

Why Can A Pleasure Session Turn Painful?

There are a few things you should know before you purchase and use a dildo: the dildo’s shape, size, and material, and to use a lot of lube. If you are a novice user, we advise you to start using a smaller dildo, as the size can be a real problem, especially when trying to fit a too-large dildo into a smaller orifice.

Many people are sensitive to different materials, so if you have a problem with something, read about the toy’s material and lube compatibility. For starters, use water-based lube, which is the best body-safe option. When you start with your playtime, apply some lube on yourself and the toy, and as you get more aroused, your body will relax, and you will begin to feel things glide more easily. If you don’t become aroused, the vagina may dry out, which is when you can start feeling painful.

Lube can be a problem, so you should test yourself for allergies. Before you go and slap lube to your most intimate place, place a small dollop of lube on the skin on the inner elbow, and if you don’t have any reaction after 12-24 hours, you are good to go. If you feel itching or redness, then you are probably allergic to some ingredient in the lube and stop using it immediately.

Another thing that can cause pain is the material of the dildo, as the materials most often used to make dildos are jelly, TPE, PVC, silicone glass, and metal.

TPE, PVC, and jelly dildos are softer and are not the most body-safe options on the market. They are porous and challenging to clean thoroughly, so they can harbor mold and bacteria, which may cause pain or infection. These are compatible with water-based lube.

Silicone is the most commonly used for manufacturing quality dildos and other sex toys. Pure silicone is a safe material that is nonporous, easy to clean, and hypoallergenic. Still, there are models of silicone dildos that are colored, and some colors may be the problem, not the silicone itself. The silicone toys are not compatible with silicone-based lubes; use water-based lubes with a silicone dildo.

Cyberskin dildos are the newest on the market, and the material is pretty unique. They are made for ultimate pleasure; they give the feeling of an almost natural erect penis. They are dual-density or triple-density materials and are pretty safe for use. The cyber skin dildos can be used with all kinds of lubes, but we always recommend using water-based lubes.

Glass and metal dildos are body-safe but very hard and not bendable. Using such dildos can cause pain because they are too hard and unyielding. Still, glass and metal are safe materials, antibacterial and hypoallergenic, and can be used with any lube. Still, we must remind you to be careful of how much pressure you use if you use glass or metal dildos.

Another aspect that could cause pain is when using a suction cup dildo, and you grind down on it too hard. Maybe you are taken by the heat of the moment and forget yourself, which can make you grind down too hard and hurt yourself. We are all different, and our bodies are different; learn to listen to your body, needs, wishes, and desires. The body will tell you what you can do, try new ways of satisfying your desires, and painlessly enjoy every sensation.
