Best Body Safe Sex Toy Materials
Sex toys are made of many different materials such as PVC, TPE, TPR, ABS, Glass, Silicone, Metal etc. Each of these materials has its own properties and uses in sex toys.
Adult toys made of PVC material
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) has good flexibility and aging resistance. These sex toys are generally made through injection moulding. They should be washed at low temperature and stored in a cool and dry place.
Sex toys made of ABS material
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is eco-friendly, non-toxic, odorless and safe for body. Because ABS material is very strong, it is also hard with a high resistance to being damaged, it is popular in the sex toy industry and used for the external shells of sex toys and love eggs. It also used for protecting the electronic parts inside vibrators, such as their PCB board, battery packs and internal motors .The production technology of ABS is through injection moulding. Wash ABS toys with water or disinfectant. Very high temperature can damage ABS so do not wash it with hot water of higher than 60℃.
Adult Toys with TPE material
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) material is eco-friendly, non-toxic, odorless, safe for body. The cost of TPE is much lower than silicone, so you can therefore get the same benefits at a much more affordable price. TPE has very good flexibility and strong tension intensity. TPE material also has a very wide hardness range from 0A to 100A, many TPE toys are made of 0A hardness, so that the toys are very soft and feel like real skin. The production technology is through injection moulding at very high temperature of 120℃ to 230℃. Wash TPE sex toys with water of lower than 75℃ or professional cleaner. Do not wash it with very hot water, or it would reduce the usage lifetime of your toy. Store the TPE sex toys in dry, shady and cool place. Do not store them in the sun and hot places.
Sex toys with TPR material

The cost of TPR is also lower than silicone; it is mainly used for ass, pussy and male masturbators etc. TPR material has very high elasticity and can also be very soft. It has a wide range of hardness from 0A to 100A; the hardness of it can be adjusted to make it feel like real skin. Wash TPR sex toys with water at ordinary temperature or cleaner.
Toys with glass and metal material

Adult Toys with Silicone material
Silicone is very popular in sex toy industry and used for silicone sex dolls, dildos, vibrators etc. It is very eco-friendly, non-toxic, odourless and safe for body. The hardness can be 0A-20A and it could be adjusted during manufacturing. It can be made to feel like real skin, soft and realistic. The cost of silicone material is also higher than TPR, TPE and PVC. Popular adult toys with silicone material have strong tensile strength and tearing strength. Silicone can withstand very low/ high temperatures for long time duration -65℃to 400℃ and still keep its soft flexible performance. Wash with disinfectant or water at the temperature of lower than 75℃. Store the silicone toys in dark and cool place.
Storing your sex toys
Make sure your toys are properly covered when stored. Why? You could get dust, crumbs, and even pet hair on your sex toy but worst of all certain materials can damage, melt or stain your toy. Make sure that each sex toy is individually stored and wrapped, best (and most important) way to store sex toys is to wrap each one in its own piece of fabric. Take care of your batteries and cords, too. Remove the batteries from your toy to help them last longer and prevent them leaking, wrap cords neatly to prevent them becoming damaged.
