Sex Toys Materials
UR3/ Futurotic: (see an example of
Futurotic/ UR3 sex toys)
This material is a very realistic and high quality. If you want something that both looks and feels realistic, the UR3 or Futurotic material is a perfect choice. The names UR3 and Futurotic are trademarked named by their respective manufacturers. The products are very similar, both made of similar compounds.
They are made from a silicone and rubber blend which gives them their solid look but allows the material to be stretchy enough to be comfortable. Many high end masturbators and vibrators are made of UR3 and Futurotic material. These adult products are easy to clean, use antibacterial hand soap and water and be sure to dry completely before storing.
Never let other masturbators or vibrators come into to contact with this material because the silicone can react with other silicone toys and it could melt the product. These are an excellent choice for realism and quality durability.
Silicone: (see an example of
silicone sex toys)
Silicone is hypo allergenic, hygienic and easy to clean. Silicone is a high grade material and high quality toys are made of silicone. You get what you pay for - silicone toys are a little more expensive but they will last longer then latex or jelly and they glide better over the skin.
Silicone sex toys are soft, pliable and smooth. Some are squishy and are quite sensual to the touch. Silicone also retains body heat better then other fleshy materials making them feel more realistic. It is well worth the extra few dollars because they have a longer life, they do not wear out as quickly as other materials such as latex or jelly.
are easier to clean and more hygienic then most other sex toy materials because they are relatively non-porous and can be boiled to really sterilize the adult toy, boil the sex toy only if there is no motor unit inside because this will ruin the motor! A nice feature is that Silicone vibrators and sex toys do not have the rubber smell that latex toys do. For people who have allergies to certain materials or foods, a silicone sex toy is the perfect safe choice.
Latex: (see an example of
latex sex toys)
Latex is a very popular material for sex toys. It has the softness of jelly without the the smell and the sticky texture. Latex toys are more firm then silicone toys but softer then plastic.
is inexpensive and are a good choice for a first time adult toy before you upgrade to a higher quality material, or if you want to experiment with a certain design before investing more money on a high quality item. Latex is a very porous material and can easily develop a layer of harmful bacteria if not properly cleaned. It is always recommended to purchase sex toys cleaner with any latex toy or put a condom over it before use. Another benefit of covering it with a condom is that it will extend the life of the item. Some people are allergic to latex rubber and should not use latex sex toys. Also, most latex vibrators feel foamy soft so it gives a delicate feeling texture.
Rubber: (see an example of
rubber sex toys)
Vinyl rubber is firm and solid material yet smooth and soft to the touch and higher quality rubber then latex but not as high quality as silicone. Vinyl rubber sex toys are really sleek and not really pliable so they are the perfect material for butt plugs, where a solid build is required.
Vinyl is still a porous material and proper cleaning techniques should be followed with cleaner. Vinyl rubber toys will last longer then latex and are good for people who have latex allergies, as long as it states that it is latex free. We inform you when a vinyl sex toy is latex free.
Plastic: (see an example of
plastic sex toys)
Plastic is solid, smooth and less porous then rubber. Plastic is durable and will last a long time as long as they are not dropped because the plastic shell is prone to cracking if dropped. Plastic adult toys are good for pinpoint stimulation, for example a plastic g-spot vibrator will contact your g-spot directly without the pliable effects of silicone or rubber. You get stimulation exactly where you want it.
The major advantage of plastic is that they have more powerful vibrations then any other sex toy because the material is solid and the vibration waves travel through the material without losing any power or intensity. Plastic is recommended for those who like powerful vibrations. Plastic sex toys are good for people with allergies to latex. A disadvantage of plastic is that they tend to be noisy.
Cyberskin:
(see an example of
Cyberskin sex toys)
Cyberskin is the closest material to human flesh. It has the same elasticity, feel and firmness of skin. It does not look very realistic but the feeling is exactly like the real thing. Cyberskin is made of a unique and high tech combination of silicone and rubber. Cyberskin is a high quality material and expect to pay a little more for Cyberskin sex toys but it is well worth it, they have a decadent and lush feeling.
When storing your Cyberskin sex toy for long periods of time, apply talc powder or corn starch powder evenly over the entire surface to keep the supple feel. If you do not do this, the material may get sticky and be ruined or will dry out and develop cracks on the surface. If this happens, you can still use your item, but the tears may continue. Always be sure to rinse off the powder completely before use because it is not good to get this into the vagina. Use only water based lubricant with Cyberskin. Anything else will literally melt away the Cyberskin. Cyberskin material needs to be properly cared for otherwise it will not last very long before getting gummy and falling apart. There is nothing that feels more realistic and comfortable then a Cyberskin vibrator .
Jelly:
(see examples of
jelly sex toys)
Jelly is a rubber based material that is made up of a myriad of compounds that result in a pliable, flexible and comfortable feeling sex toy that conforms to your shapes and details of your body for comfort and a full, satisfying feeling. Jelly toys are very soft and squishy feeling and are inexpensive so that makes them very popular adult products. The vibrations are not very powerful and have a 'massaging' sensation due to the jelly material that absorbs some of the vibrations, this also silences the noise and jelly sex toys are much more quiet then plastic, silicone or latex.
Jelly adult toys are very porous and should be cleaned after use with
cleaner.
Never share a jelly toy with anyone else and never insert it from the vagina that has been inserted in the anus. Jelly has a limited life span but if well taken care of, they should last longer then latex. Be sure to keep them in a cool dry place wrapped in a lint-free cloth. Jelly sex toys easily attract dust and lint. Always use a water based lubricant with a jelly sex toy. Some jelly has a silicone like compound so to be on the safe side, never use silicone based lubricants with jelly sex toys.
There has been debate over the health risks of phthalates which is an oil-based chemical used in making most jelly vibrators. This substance is not good for you but with the occasional use of a sex toy, should cause no harm. The debate is still ongoing about this topic. It might cause you harm if you keep the sex toy in your vagina for days and days, not likely this will happen. Just so you know, is a hardening chemical that is present in children's toys to make them more sturdy and durable. Studies on this chemical so far have been inconclusive. Some women are sensitive to phtalates and experience mild irritation. If you worry about the side effects of this chemical or experience irritation, simply cover the jelly sex toy with a condom or choose another material.
Glass: (see examples of
glass sex toys)
Glass is the top of the line sex toy. You get what you pay for and glass dildos are the most expensive. They do have an unlimited life span and are completely non-porous meaning all you have to do is rinse it under water to clean it. Glass dildos are safe, hypo allergenic and often recommended by doctors to curb cross contamination associated with traditional materials. The best feature about glass is it's ability to maintain temperature. Put a glass sex toy in the freezer for a while and it will stay cold for a long time. It gives an invigorating feeling.
Glass sex toys glide over the body with a decadent high class feel and can even be used as a back massager. The only disadvantage of glass is that they are solid and do not bend at all, however the design often includes curves and ridges that give a neat feeling. Be very careful when inserting glass toys into the anus because the tissue inside is delicate and bruising could occur if you are too rough. Glass should never be part of rough sex or foreplay although it won't break, it can cause harm because it does not flex in any way. Glass dildos have a one-of-a-kind feeling that no other material can duplicate and the low maintenance qualities are worth the price.
