so there are many common materials in sex toys that may be ,, terrible for you and that’s not what we want !!
here are some common unsafe materials you’ll find, these are porous, meaning they harbor bacteria VERY easily, and are impossible to properly clean. they’re also toxic, so,, yknow
TPR/TPE, jelly, rubber, PVC, cyberskin
TPR/TPE, jelly, rubber, PVC, cyberskin
these materials have what you could call,, pores,, so bacteria gets in there, and they can’t be properly cleaned beyond their surface.
this makes it go STOOPID when it comes to keeping bacteria n shut in there,, which means infections, STIs if you’ve shared the toy etc.

sometimes these toys also feel very,, sticky
that’s because they’re softened with oils and then it gets broken down and it’s just not !! a good time !!

you CAN use condoms on these toys so backfires doesn’t build up in the pores, BUT! the oil,, oil breaks down /latex/ condoms.
so! ideally, don’t use porous toys at all, but if you do, please use non-latex confirms each time. ideally polyurethane or nitrile condoms, as they are compatible with oils!
these condoms are,, pretty expensive tho. and the whole reason people buy porous toys is because they’re cheaper! so it kinda defeats the purpose
so let’s get into the safe materials!
silicone, ABS hard plastic, metal, glass, and wood,,, yes,,, wood

some sites though,, may claim to have silicone toys, when they’re not actually.
this happens A LOT on amazon, which is why i urge you to not buy from there. they also tend to sell knock-offs,, which is why half the time it’s not actually silicone

also,, CLEAN. YOUR TOYS!!
there’s multiple ways to do this, but the most common and easiest way is to just use warm water and soap!
you can also boil them, disinfect them in your dish washer (it’s odd but,, you can!)
you can also use toy cleaner, but that’s not as clean sohttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧍🏻" title="Stehende Person (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Stehende Person (heller Hautton)">

water based are the most common and are compatible with ANY sex toy.
they tend to dry out on you sometimes but are easily reactivates with water or spit or just reapplying more.
obviously won’t work well if you’re like,, in the shower or something as it’s water soluble

n here are some unsafe ingredients you may find in line that you should avoid!
parabens, glycerin, numbing agents (marketed towards anal to numb pain,, but it shouldn’t hurt if you’re doing it right,, so red flag bc you could unknowingly cause tearing)
