Many dual-density dildos are compatible with strap-on harnesses for more variety during couples play. Some also feature suction cup bases which can adhere to flat surfaces, including floors, tables, and chairs for hands-free play. A flared base dildo made with a dual-density design also allows for safe anal play.
While dual-density dildos are soft, they will feel most comfortable when used with lubricant. Dual-density dildos with vein-like textures will hold lubricant better than smoother varieties. Water-based lubricants will work with all dual-density dildos. Check the manufacturer’s instructions to determine whether your dual-density dildo is compatible with other lubricants.
Some dual-density dildos are made from materials that can irritate sensitive skin. If you’re prone to sex toy allergies, you may prefer using your dual-density dildo with a condom. This also makes clean-up easier. Whether you use a condom or not, remember to clean up your dual-density dildo with warm water and a gentle soap after use. Store your dual-density dildo in a cool, dry place, ideally in a storage pouch.
