An inflatable dildo is a sex toy that has the ability to inflate in size once inserted by using an attached pump to increase the size of the dildo and achieve a feeling of complete 'fullness'.
Since vaginas differ in size and shape when aroused, inflatable dildos take advantage of the fact that arousal causes the upper two-thirds of a vagina to expand, even to the point where it can double in size, this is known as vaginal tenting.
Inflatable dildos are further useful for anal use and anal practice. Simply because they are easier to insert than a larger dildo, yet can reach the same or a larger size.
Before use it's recommended to practice blowing up the dildo to gauge how much it inflates with each squeeze of the bulb so you know your limits before you get started.
To use an inflatable dildo, apply a generous amount of lubricant to the uninflated dildo to ease stretching of delicate inner tissue. Insert it until you reach your desired insertion length, then begin inflating. For beginners, inflate slowly to lower the risk of the dildo reaching an uncomfortable size too quickly.
When using an inflatable dildo in the vagina, apply a small amount of lubricant and insert the dildo, at this point you can inflate the dildo a bit if this helps with insertion. Once inside the vagina, inflate the dildo until you feel full, some people will even inflate the dildo until it is slightly uncomfortable. Whenever it's too uncomfortable simply release some air until reaching a preferred volume.
Before insertion into the anus, it's recommended to massage the sphincter muscle, as well as a conscious mental effort to relax your muscles down there. If experiencing any discomfort upon insertion, stop for a while, let the muscles relax and push on when your ready. If it's not going in, don't force it! Again, once inside, inflate the dildo to a desirable length/width and deflate when it's too uncomfortable.
If you're not an experienced anal player we recommend using an anal training kit and working your way up to larger sized anal toys. Otherwise, check out our guide on what to be aware of before using a dildo anally.
There are a few different types of inflatable dildos available to buy, which each have slightly different features and ways of using them. Here are three types of inflatable dildos sectioned by their differing features.
