What is silicone? What makes silicone sex toys different from other adult toys available on the market? Silicone is a non active manufactured compound that has a similar feel to rubber and is heat resistant. It’s free from phthalates (substances added to plastics to make them longer lasting and more flexible) which are thought to harbour chemicals which may result in mutagenic and carcinogenic effects on the skin. Some less expensive sex toys in the adult marketplace still contain phthalates which could or could not cause harm to the skin.

Silicone Adult Toy Advantages

Silicone sex toys are usually made from superior quality medical grade silicone which is used in medical applications as well. Medical grade silicone is perfectly suited to the making of adult toys because it is strong and tough. Silicone toys for adults also have many other plus points when compared with less expensive alternatives. As previously stated, they do not have phthalates in them. They also have the quality of being silky smooth to the touch and are soft enough to be inserted easily but rigid enough to retain their shape and hence provide real satisfaction. Silicone adult toys are also odourless, tasteless, hypoallergenic, anti allergic, waterproof (therefore easy to clean) and non toxic. Their durable properties also allow them to be heated up, cooled down and even washed in the dishwasher! A number of toys for adults made from silicone come with the added benefit of having some flexibility meaning they can be made into different shapes bringing about an easier way to target your sweet spot.
