Using your Dragon Dildo™ safely is all about prep, the right lube, and proper cleaning. This guide gives beginners clear steps to stay safe, avoid mistakes, and enjoy every moment.
- Always wash toys before and after use.
- Use only water-based lubes with silicone dildos.
- Start slow - your body adapts over time.
- Check suction or straps before play.
- Store toys in a clean, dry place.
How Do You Prepare Before Using a Dildo?
Start with clean hands and a clean toy. Choose a calm environment where you feel relaxed. Beginners benefit from warming up with fingers or smaller toys before using larger fantasy models.
Which Lubes Are Safe with Silicone Toys?
| Type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Water-based | Safe with all toys, easy cleanup | Dries faster, may need to reapply |
| Silicone-based | Long-lasting, waterproof play | Not safe with silicone toys (can degrade surface) |
| Hybrid | Smooth texture, some lasting power | Check compatibility—can damage premium silicone |
Real-world tip: Apply lube generously to you and the toy—then reapply as needed. For anal play, plan for more lube because the anus does not self-lubricate. We recommend Dragon Jizz Cum Style Lube.
How Do You Clean Toys Before and After?
For platinum silicone toys, wash with warm water and mild, fragrance-free soap. Let air-dry fully before storage. Before first use, wash once to remove any residue from manufacturing.
What Positions or Techniques Work Best?
- Missionary style: Place dildo on a pillow or suction base.
- Riding: Suction the toy to a floor or shower wall for hands-free play.
- Side-lying: Great for beginners who want control and relaxation.
Can a Harness Make Things Easier (and Hotter)?
Yes. A strap-on harness lets a partner wear the toy for hands-free thrusting and better control. Check your base (Vac-U-Lock, suction, or flared) matches the harness style and test the fit before play.
Should You Use a Condom with Toys?
Condoms reduce the risk of transferring fluids or bacteria—especially if a toy is shared between partners or body parts. Use a fresh condom for each person and each orifice.
Is It Safe to Go from Anus to Vagina?
Move vagina → anus only, if at all. Going anus → vagina can transfer bacteria and increase infection risk.
- Switch to a new condom before vaginal use, or fully wash and dry the toy.
- Keep separate toys for anal vs. vaginal play where possible.
Firsthand Test: Silicone Check
We ran a lube compatibility test on our Dusk Wyvern silicone sample. Water-based gel left no residue, while silicone lube caused slight tackiness after 3 hours (see photo). This aligns with NHS and Planned Parenthood guidance: stick with water-based.
