New to textured toys? Follow this step-by-step guide to using the Sunrise Gaze ridged dildo comfortably, from lube and positioning to cleaning and care.
Quick answer
Start slow with plenty of water-based lubricant, explore the ridges externally before insertion, and angle the broad head toward the G-spot or P-spot. Clean the dildo before and after every use with warm water and mild soap.
Why ridges change the game for beginners
A ridged dildo like the Sunrise Gaze adds texture that you won't get from a smooth toy. Those ridges create extra sensation with every movement, but they also mean you need to pay more attention to lubrication and pace. Beginners often rush insertion and find the texture overwhelming; instead, treat the ridges as a feature to explore gradually. Start with the broad head, which is designed to stimulate the G-spot or P-spot, and let the ridges follow naturally.
Lubrication: the key to comfort with texture
Ridges increase friction, so you'll need more lubricant than you might expect. Water-based lube is safe with the Sunrise Gaze's platinum-cured silicone, and it's easy to clean up. Apply a generous amount to both the toy and yourself, and reapply whenever you feel drag. Avoid silicone-based lubes with silicone toys, as they can degrade the surface over time. If you're new to textured toys, start with a thicker water-based gel to cushion the ridges.
Step-by-step: using your ridged dildo
- Clean before use: Wash the dildo with warm water and mild soap, then rinse and dry. This removes any manufacturing residue or dust. Never skip cleaning before first use, even if the toy looks clean.
- Apply lubricant generously: Spread a thick layer of water-based lube over the entire shaft, paying extra attention to the ridges, and apply more to yourself. Reapply lube as needed—dryness is the most common cause of discomfort with textured toys.
- Explore externally first: Before insertion, glide the ridged shaft and broad head over your external erogenous zones to get used to the texture. This helps you learn the toy's shape and find the angles that feel best.
- Insert slowly and angle for comfort: Lie down or squat, relax, and insert just the tip. Aim the broad head toward your G-spot (front wall) or P-spot (toward the pubic bone) depending on your anatomy. Stop if you feel sharp pain; adjust the angle or add more lube.
- Use gentle thrusting or rocking motions: Start with small, slow movements to let the ridges stimulate gradually. Increase pace only when you feel ready. The ridges are designed for sensation—control the speed to avoid overstimulation.
- Clean after use and store properly: Wash with warm water and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from other silicone toys to prevent interaction. Proper cleaning and storage keep the silicone smooth and body-safe for next time.
