How to Choose Your First Dildo: A Beginner’s Guide for Kenyan Women
Size, shape, material and price: everything you need to know to choose your first dildo confidently, plus tips for safe, comfortable first-time use.
Start with size
Many first-timers buy too big. A length of 15–18 cm and a width under 4 cm suits most beginners. Remember that only part of the length is used, so comfort matters more than size.
Choose a safe material
Medical-grade silicone is soft, warm and body-safe. Borosilicate glass is firm, smooth and the most hygienic. Avoid jelly, rubber and PVC.
Pick a base
A suction base lets you use the dildo hands-free on a wall or floor and makes it harness compatible later. A flared base is essential for safety.
Always use water-based lube
Lubricant makes everything more comfortable. Use a water-based lube with silicone toys — silicone lube can damage them.
Clean and store properly
Wash before and after every use with warm water and mild soap, dry completely and store in a pouch away from other toys.
