What materials are sex toys made of?
The material affects how a toy feels in use, its hygiene, its lifespan and the way it is cleaned.
High-quality silicone designed for contact with the body is smooth, pleasant and easy to maintain. Depending on how it is made, it can be very soft or firmer and more flexible.
Hard ABS plastic is often used for smaller vibrators and stimulators. It is smooth, firm and transmits vibrations well. Glass and metal toys are firm, non-porous and suitable for people who like more pronounced pressure.
Soft elastic materials can feel more realistic, but they usually require more thorough cleaning, drying and proper storage. With every material it is important to use a compatible lubricant and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
At Intim Shop you can look at and compare the materials in person. We'll explain which type is suitable for the intended use and how to care for it properly.
