Why Choose a Silicone Dildo
Silicone is the material most people end up sticking with. It's non-porous, so it doesn't hold onto bacteria the way softer jelly or PVC toys can. It's easy to clean, holds its shape, and with a little care it lasts for years. It also warms up to body temperature quickly.

Liquid and Dual Density Silicone
Liquid silicone is poured into a mold, which lets brands like Shaft get very fine detail. Dual density silicone has a firm core and a softer outer layer, so it feels more like skin. Both are still silicone, so the same care rules apply.
Use Water-Based Lube
This is the big one. Silicone lube can make silicone toys sticky or break down the surface over time. Stick to water-based lube with any silicone dildo, or spot test a hybrid first.
Not Everything Is Pure Silicone
A few items here have a silicone part but a different main material, like glass dildos with a silicone base. Check the material on each listing.
Care Tips
Wash your toy with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner before and after every use. Use water-based lube with silicone toys, since silicone lube can damage them over time. Let it dry fully and store it in its own pouch, away from direct sunlight.
