Previaling Material Types for Sex Toys


If you want to do good things, you must first sharpen your tools. How to choose a good sex tool? 


Technology is advancing with each passing day, and designers have opened up their minds to achieve various "magical works" to meet the preferences of different players.However, the ever-changing artwork is inseparable to the root. As a toy that is in close contact with the body - the most important thing is the "feel" of the material. The material of the toy is not only related to the sense of use, but also to its own health. What kind of material is a good material?


With this question in mind, let's find out the answer together today.


The common materials for making sex toys on the market are mainly PVC, ABS, TPE , borosilicate glass, silica gel, etc. It is also easy to distinguish from the appearance: hard ABS, soft and hard PVC, elastic TPE, Silicone with both texture and stability...



What exactly is the difference between them?

01# PVC

PVC is low-cost, durable and low-maintenance, and can be made into a variety of hard, soft and transparent products . Therefore, it has been widely used in toys such as vibrators and male masturbator fleshlights . It is mostly used in low-end products, and is currently replaced by ABS.
Because the characteristics of PVC are unstable, plasticizers need to be added to assist in the production process. Plasticizers are added to enhance flexibility, are easy to process, and can be legally used for industrial purposes.

However, the molecular structure of some plasticizers is similar to hormones, and they are called "environmental hormones" , which are toxic chemicals . Usually PVC contains plasticizers, especially those soft or sticky toys. Skin contact with plasticizers may cause itching, burning sensation, rash, and minor tissue damage. Stop using immediately if you notice any of the above symptoms.



02# ABS


ABS is non-toxic and tasteless , and is an extremely versatile engineering thermoplastic. Due to the low value and low processing cost, the price of ABS toys will be cheaper, and the toys are not very durable.The safety level of ABS is daily grade, which can ensure safe use, and its impact resistance, low temperature resistance and electrical properties are very good. In addition, it also has the characteristics of easy processing, stable product size and good surface gloss, so it is very suitable for jumping eggs with simple production process and small size.



03# TPE


TPE is mainly used for famous instruments , male masturbator fleshlights, cock rings, vibrating wands, and imitation penis . TPE, also known as thermoplastic elastomer, is a new type of polymer material between rubber and resin. It is very close to the feeling of human skin and is the mainstream material for sex toys. TPE is an environmentally friendly non-toxic material with low allergy and can be used in tableware processing . TPE does not contain bisphenol A (BPA), phthalate ester PAES, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHS, nonylphenol NP, organotin, heavy metals, etc. Non-toxic material for environmental hormones. TPE material is the softest, with good appearance and texture, mild touch, very close to human skin texture , easy to color, uniform and stable color. This is due to the adjustability and controllability of its special molecular structure. Therefore, toys that simulate real skin like dildos are mostly made of TPE material, which is more convenient to use and clean.

Also due to the particularity of its special molecular structure, TPE material is soft and easy to stretch, and the elongation rate can reach more than ten times. It is suitable for delay rings that need to be stretched. It is elastic and tight to achieve physical delay effect.



04# Borosilicate Glass


Borosilicate glass has been used in sex toys for many years , but high-transparency medical-grade borosilicate glass (also known as hard glass) is now commonly used. The interior is non-porous, heats up quickly, and has a smooth surface. It is not only durable, but also visually attracts people's attention. Many people think that the massage wand made of borosilicate glass are works of art.

However, borosilicate glass will separate out lead in a hot environment. Lead is a toxic substance. Excessive exposure to the human body will directly destroy the function of DNA, the genetic material in nerve cells , which will not only easily cause people to suffer from dementia, but also cause face gray and premature aging.


05# Silicone

What is the safest material for adult products? In theory, silicone is the safest . Silica gel has good biocompatibility, more comfortable touch, and has a single-molecule structure without the use of "plasticizers", which is very safe. At present, most high-end massage wands, jumping eggs, and male masturbator fleshlights are made of silicone materials.


Silica gel is non-irritating, non-toxic, non-allergic, and has very few body rejection reactions to human tissues; it has good physical and chemical properties, and can maintain its original elasticity and softness during use, and will not be degraded and will not produce harmful substances . It is a fairly stable inert substance. Silica gel can be directly sterilized by boiling water, and organic silica gel can withstand high temperatures up to 300 Celsius degree, and can also be directly sterilized with bleach. Silica gel is also divided into various grades, such as industrial grade silica gel, food grade silica gel, medical grade silica gel, etc.


In terms of feel, the toughness and elasticity of food-grade silicone are very good, it is not easy to be permanently deformed by external force, and the feel will be smoother. In terms of characteristics, food-grade silica gel is a non-toxic, odorless and colorless product with good texture, harmless to human body, and complies with FDA, BACL, RoHs and other certification levels. Based on the many advantages of food-grade silicone, many manufacturers will claim that their products are food-grade silicone products. In addition to checking the certification report, you can identify them in the following ways:


The first trick: pulling: food-grade silicone will not turn white, but ordinary silicone will turn white;

The second trick: smelling: food-grade silica gel is odorless, and ordinary inferior silica gel has a pungent odor;

The third trick: painting: food-grade silicone has good cleaning performance, and the mark of general water-based pen can be easily erased;

The fourth trick: Handfeel: delicate,smooth feeling of silk when touching.
