Dildos

What are the materials of Dildos

Dildos common materials mainly include medical grade silicone, glass, TPE, PVC, and Jelly rubber, each with its own characteristics in terms of safety, touch, and cleaning difficulty.

medical-grade silicone

Advantages: Non porous material, not prone to bacterial growth, can be sterilized at high temperatures, soft and has a realistic touch, making it currently the safest and most popular choice.

Caution: Use with water-based lubricants to avoid material degradation caused by contact with silicon-based lubricants.

Glass (such as borosilicate glass)

Advantages: Completely non porous, easy to clean, temperature adjustable (refrigerated or heated), smooth surface suitable for precise stimulation.

Attention: The texture is hard and lacks elasticity. When using, it is necessary to lubricate thoroughly and avoid falling and damaging.
TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)

Advantages: Soft and elastic, affordable price, commonly used in entry-level products.

Disadvantages: Porous material, difficult to thoroughly clean, long-term use may breed bacteria, short lifespan, recommended for regular replacement.

PVC (polyvinyl chloride, phthalate free type)

Advantages: Low cost, rich colors, strong plasticity, suitable for complex shapes.
Attention: Some low-end products may contain allergenic substances, and "phthalate free" certified products should be selected to ensure safety.

Jelly rubber

Advantages: Very soft, high elasticity, low price, commonly seen in colored or luminous styles.
Disadvantages: Highly porous, easy to adsorb dust and bacteria, difficult to clean, usually not recommended for long-term or frequent use.
How to clean and maintain Dildos
The cleaning and maintenance of Dildos should be carried out according to the material characteristics. Proper operation can extend the service life and ensure personal hygiene and safety.

Medical grade silicone Dildos

Cleaning: Immediately rinse with warm water and soap free or specialized toy cleaner after use, focusing on cleaning texture gaps. Waterproof version can be washed with water as a whole.

Disinfection: Wipe with 75% alcohol or boil in boiling water for 3-5 minutes per week (ensure there are no electronic components).
Drying and Storage: Dry dry and shade, sprinkle a small amount of corn starch to prevent sticking, and store separately in a breathable storage bag.

Glass Dildos

Cleaning: Hand wash with warm water and neutral detergent to avoid scratching the surface with hard brushes.
Disinfection: Can be boiled at high temperature or wiped with alcohol, supports UV disinfection box treatment.
Storage: Place in a drop proof position to avoid collision with other hard objects.

TPE/PVC/Jelly Rubber Dildos

Cleaning: Only wipe the surface. Use antibacterial wipes or special cleaning spray to avoid soaking (porous materials are easy to absorb water and breed bacteria).
Disinfection: It is recommended to use ultraviolet disinfection box or special antibacterial spray instead of boiling.
Storage: Keep flat to prevent deformation and avoid direct sunlight. It is recommended to replace it every 6-12 months.

General maintenance recommendations

Clean before and after use to prevent bacterial cross infection.
Choose water-based lubricants to avoid reactions between silicon-based lubricants and silicone materials.
Avoid sharing. If sharing is necessary, be sure to use a condom and thoroughly clean before and after use.
Regular inspection: If cracks, discoloration, or material softening are found, it should be stopped immediately.
Battery maintenance (such as with vibration function): Remove the battery when not in use for a long time to prevent leakage and corrosion.
