Let’s Talk about what your toy is made of! Please feel free to contact me if you need any help picking the right one out for you or if you have questions!
The first thing you should consider when selecting a toy is the material that is right for you. Each type has some advantages and disadvantages. Not to mention if you have ANY sensitivities or are prone to infections there are some types that are just a better choice then others. The material affects the way a toy feels, the amount of effort to maintain and clean, the life of the toy and also how your body reacts to the toy! The best way to choice a type of toy is to attend one of my parties and actually hold the different ones in you hand! This way you know BEFORE you get it home!
Hard plastic: Many people when they purchase their first vibe buy one of hard plastic. The material makes the vibration very strong and it is non-porous so it is easy to clean and keep clean. Many of the hard plastic toys are loud. When purchasing a hard plastic vibe be sure to check it out for seams. If the toy has seems run your finger over them as hard plastic seams can be sharp. Placing a cotton ball in where the batteries go if you need to muffle the sound of the toy.
Silicone: This one is tricky! I LOVE silicon toys but it is very important to know how much is silicon! The BEST silicon brand is Tantus. I carry Tantus toys in my catalog and they are amazing. Their toys are a special blend and are considered medical grade silicon! Being 100% silicon they can go in the dishwasher, be boiled, and will last a long time. Silicon can be great for people who tend to have UTI’s or other infections as they are easily sterilized after use! Some silicones have softeners in them called phialates. You can normally tell because these have the “new shower curtain” smell. Any item in my catty that has PF next to it means it will NOT have any of them chemicals in it!!!
Glass: It WONT break inside you!!! Glass can be such a fun amazing toy! They are again a great material for anyone with sensitivities! They are easily cleaned and sterilized, either in boiling water, Dish washer, and they can even be bleached. Glass toys are considered “green”. They are going to last along time and require no batteries. You can add a simple vibrating cock ring to one to kick it up! Glass is also an amazing way to try sensation play. You can heat it up in water or cool it in the fridge/freeze.
Jelly: Jelly toys normally feel softer and can feel more “life like”. The problem with Jelly is many of them are loaded with chemicals. That means you have to be careful that you do not have a reaction to them. Another thing about jelly is they have pours. Bacteria can live in these pours causing an infection. Toy cleaners are VERY important to get the deep inside bacteria. Always clean a jelly toy before and after use!
