Sex Toy Materials - What are They Made of? What is the Difference?

Silicone:

Silicone sex toys are hypoallergenic, soft and life like in feeling. Silicone sex toys have a 'sensual feeling'. Silicone sex toys also retain body heat better making them feel more realsitic. It is a high quality sex toy material and most often the more expensive sex toys are made of silicone. It is well worth the extra few dollars for a silicone sex toy becuase silicone sex toys have a longer life, they do not wear out as quickly as other materials such as latex. Also, silicone sex toys are easier to clean and more hygenic then most others becuase they are relatively non porous and can be boiled to really sterilize the adult toy. Silicone sex toys do not have the rubber smell that latex toys do.

Latex rubber:

Latex is a very popular material for sex toys. It has the softness of jelly without the the smell and the texture. Latex sex toys are firmer then silicone toys but softer then plastic. Latex is a very inexpensive material and most cheaper sex toys are made of latex. Latex is a very porous material and can easily develop a layer of harmful bacteria if not properly cleaned. It is always recommended to purchase Sex Toy Cleaner with any latex toy and use it every time. Latex toys wear out alot quicker then silicone toys, but that is to be expected with a cheap sex toy! Some people are allergic to latex rubber and should not use latex toys.

Plastic:

Plastic sex toys are solid and smooth and they are the most powerful conducter of vibrations. Plastic is recommended for those who like powerful vibrations. Sex toys made of plastic are usually held against the clitoris, since penetration can cause some discomfort. Plastic is an inexpensive material and is easy to clean. It is recommended to use Sex Toy Cleaner with plastic sex toys however they are more hygenic then latex sex toys. The downside of plastic vibrators is that they tend to be noisy.

Cyberskin:

Cyberskin is the closest thing to human flesh. It does not look very realistic but the feeling is exactly like the real thing. Cyberskin is made of a combination of silicone and plastic. It has the soft touch of skin but the firmness of a real penis. Cyberskin is a high quality material and expect to pay a little more for Cyberskin sex toys but it is well worth it. Cyberskin sex toys are porous and should be cleaned with Sex Toy Cleaner after every use. When storing Cyberskin sex toys, sprinkle on talc powder, this will help it to retain it's suppleness and greatly extend the life of the high quality Cyberskin sex toy.

Jelly or Jel-lee:

Jelly sex toys are a rubber based material that come in a wide variety of colors and shapes. Jelly adult toys are inexpensive so that makes them very popular. The material conducts good vibrations throughout the vibrating jelly sex toy. They are not too powerful and have a 'massaging' sensation. Jel-lee sex toys are not very noisy becuase the jelly material silences the noise fairly well. Jelly sex toys are very porous and should be cleaned before and after with Sex Toy Cleaner. Jelly sex toys have a limited lifespan but if well taken care of, they should last longer then latex sex toys. Be sure to keep them in a cool dry place wrapped in a lint-free cloth. Jelly sex toys easily attract dust and lint. Always use a water based lubricant with a jelly sex toy, that will reduce the wear and tear on the material and provide more comfort for you.

Pyrex or glass sex toys:

Glass sex toys are the newest emerging popular material. There is nothing but positive reasons for owning a glass sex toy. There is only one downside, that is the price. They are all handmade and considered peices of art. Glass dildos are 100% safe, hypoallergenic & often recommended by doctors to curb cross contamination associated with traditional materials.
