The iDear Guide to Dildos:
Dildos for Beginners

Anal Dildo

Anal dildos are specially designed for anal play and live in the Anal Sex Toys section. Unlike standard dildos, they’re often slimmer and crafted to stimulate all those sensitive nerve endings—especially when targeting the prostate gland. Most anal dildos feature a flared base for added safety during use.

Glass Dildos

Made from solid borosilicate glass, these dildos are far sturdier than they appear. Glass dildos are durable, temperature-friendly (hot or cold), and won’t crack or chip easily. Their firm material is excellent for G-spot or prostate stimulation, while their smooth surface ensures easy and comfortable insertion. Plus, they’re a breeze to clean, making them ideal for anal use too.
