Prostate dildos

I have never tried prostate play before. Where should I start?

A slimmer, gently curved prostate dildo is the friendliest starting point. Look for an insertable diameter under 1.25 inches and a smooth surface without heavy texture. Take your time with arousal beforehand, use plenty of water-based or silicone-safe lubricant, and let your body guide the pace. The prostate is typically located 2 to 3 inches inside the rectum on the anterior wall, so a modest length is all you need to reach it comfortably.

What lube should I use with a prostate dildo?

The rectum does not self-lubricate, so generous lubrication is not optional, it is necessary for both comfort and safety. The right lube depends on the toy material:

• Silicone toys: use a water-based lubricant. Silicone-based lubes can degrade silicone surfaces over time.
• Steel or glass toys: both water-based and silicone-based lubes are compatible, giving you more choice.

Avoid oil-based lubricants if there is any chance of condom use, and always reapply as needed during play.

Are the materials in these toys actually body-safe?

Body-safe prostate dildos are made from non-porous materials that cannot harbour bacteria or absorb chemicals. The three gold-standard options are body-grade silicone, stainless steel, and borosilicate glass. If you see terms like "jelly", "rubber", or "PVC" without a body-safe certification, those materials are porous and harder to clean thoroughly. When in doubt, check the product listing for explicit confirmation of the material grade.

How do I clean and store a prostate dildo properly?

Thorough cleaning after every use is essential for anal toys. The method depends on the material:

• Non-motorised silicone: boil for three minutes, run through the top rack of a dishwasher without detergent, or use a 10% bleach solution followed by a thorough rinse.
• Stainless steel and glass: the same boiling and dishwasher methods apply, or wipe down with isopropyl alcohol.
• All toys: wash with warm water and mild unscented soap as a minimum before any deeper sterilisation.

Store toys separately in a cloth pouch or dedicated case so they do not pick up dust or contact other materials that could cause surface degradation.
