Skin Safe Silicone

Today’s sex toys are nothing like the toys of – let’s say – a decade ago. What’s striking, is that new and better materials are being used, such as silicone. This is a very versatile material, that in fluid form can be used as lube and in solid form it’s very flexible and extremely soft. What is the advantage of silicone and what to look for when you buy a sex toy of this material?

Silicone is being used to make all kinds of sex toys, such as dildos, vibrators, whips, floggers, cuffs, butt plugs, and cock rings. One of the advantages of this material is that it can be easily cleansed and disinfected, which it’s why it’s being considered as one of the most body safe materials around. It is hypo-allergenic and does not contain any animal materials (important for vegans). These kind of toys are ideal for people with sensitive skin.

Silicone is marketed under many different names, such as ‘medical grade silicone’ or ‘platinum silicone’.
