Quick answer

Start with plenty of lubricant, go slow, and communicate openly with your partner to adjust angle and depth for comfort and pleasure.

Why lubrication matters more than you think

A dildo has no natural lubrication, so adding a good quality lube reduces friction and makes insertion more comfortable. Silicone-based lubes last longer but can damage silicone toys; water-based lubes are safe for all materials and easy to clean. If you're using a toy like NOCTURA, check its material compatibility with your lube choice.

Solo vs. partner play: different dynamics

When playing alone, you control speed and depth entirely, which is great for learning what feels best. With a partner, communication becomes key—agree on a signal for

before starting. Partner play also lets you experiment with different positions, like lying on your side or using a harness for hands-free use.

Step-by-step guide

  1. 1. Prepare your space and toy: Wash your dildo with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. Have lube and a towel nearby. If using a vibrator, check the batteries or charge. A clean toy reduces risk of irritation. Don't skip this step even if you're in a hurry.
  2. 2. Apply lubricant generously: Squeeze a dime-sized amount of lube onto the tip and shaft of the dildo. Reapply as needed during play. For anal use, use more lube than you think you need. Too little lube causes friction. Add more if you feel any discomfort.
  3. 3. Start slow and listen to your body: Begin with shallow, gentle movements. Angle the dildo toward your lower belly for G-spot or prostate stimulation. Breathe deeply and relax your pelvic muscles. Rushing can cause pain. If you feel sharp pain, stop and adjust angle or add more lube.
  4. 4. Communicate with your partner: If playing with a partner, use verbal cues or a safe word. Guide their hand or the toy to show preferred speed and depth. Switch roles or positions to keep play varied. Silence doesn't mean enjoyment. Check in regularly, especially when trying something new.
  5. 5. Clean up after play: Wash the dildo again with soap and water or toy cleaner. Store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and other toys that might react with the material. Proper storage prevents material degradation and keeps your toy ready for next time.
