What’s the deal with wooden and metal dildos?

Most of the vibrators and dildos that we see advertised are made from familiar materials such as silicone, TPE and glass. These materials are known to be body safe and feel great against the skin, but they haven’t always been readily accessible for our sexual needs.

Over the years, sex toys have been made with dozens of different materials including stone, baguettes, and gold. Yeah, it’s definitely an eclectic mix, and we wouldn’t recommend getting off with a breadstick nowadays!

But what about wooden and metal dildos?! While these materials might also seem a little odd for sex toys, you can actually find dildos made from them pretty easily!

Wooden dildos

Wooden dildos might sound a little dangerous - splinters, anyone?! But dildos made from wood can actually be a really great addition to your collection, and they are usually really sustainable. When looked after properly, wooden dildos can last a lifetime, similar to glass dildos.

Just like glass dildos, wooden ones need to be kept safely and looked after well, to ensure they stay hygienic and last as long as possible. Always follow the company’s cleaning and storing guidelines for the best outcome.

Think of unique wooden furniture and sculptures that you’ve seen - wooden dildos aren’t exempt from these intricate designs! Wood can be a great material to help create some really unique pieces - plus, you could probably display them on your bookshelf, and no one will know a thing!

Of course, you probably shouldn’t go about trying to make your own wooden dildo, unless you're an expert in that area. Homemade sex toys usually aren’t a great idea! If you’re interested in connecting on another level with nature, make sure you check out the options first, and be sure to pick a wooden dildo that is from a reputable company!

Metal dildos

Metal is no stranger in the world of sex and toys. Many handcuffs, harnesses and butt plugs feature metal features and materials. The aesthetic of metal is also quite popular with many people!

Metal dildos are relatively common on the market. Often sought after by more experienced users, these toys can feel incredibly smooth against the skin, and are often a little heavier than other dildos - which can provide a totally unique sensation!

Of course, it’s always best to follow any specific cleaning instructions provided for the specific toy you purchase, but generally, metal toys are super easy to clean! You can boil them in water, or even put them in the dishwasher - just make sure your flatmates know it’s in there…

Like glass toys, metal is also great for temperature play! These toys are easy to heat up and cool down, so you can easily switch up the sensations in the bedroom.

Lubricant!

Whatever material your dildos are, lubricant will be your best friend! Make sure you apply plenty of lube to keep things slippery and avoid any pain or discomfort.
