Choosing a sex toy can be a bit challenging these days, with so many shapes and sizes on offer, knowing which material is right for you is just another hurdle between you and enjoying that sex toy.
So we have put together a brief guide to help you through the minefield of options, giving you pros and cons to help you decide the best material you.
Silicone
• Hypo allergenic
• Non toxic
• Non pours
• Can be sterilised or disinfected
• Warms to body temperature
• Excellent and carrying vibration
• Holds water based lube well- meaning you only need a small amount (do not use silicone lube with silicone toys, they can react with each other!)
• Phthalate and latex free
• Durable and easy to clean
• Safe to share as long as cleaned between uses
Silicone overall is considered the best material for sex toys, it is virtually indestructible, unless your dog eats it or you attack it with a sharp object. Neither of which are likely to happen, if your using your toy correctly! Meaning a silicone toy whilst a little more expensive will last a lifetime.
TPR/Elastomer
• Softer than silicone
• Phthalate free
• Slightly porus – so not suitable for sharing unless you use a condom
• Can only be cleaned with soap and water.

TPR- Thermoplastic rubber
• Lightweight and flexible

Glass
• Can be cooled or heated
• Smooth and hard

Hard plastics
