1) Silicone
Among the highest quality of materials, silicone has a lifelike feel and
retains body heat. Non-porous (no bacteria!) and easy to clean, silicone
toys will last for years. Silicon is the closest thing to hypoallergenic
to be found in a toy as long as you clean it with each use.
2) Latex
Latex rubber is being used less often in toys as more and more people
develop latex allergies. Not as lifelike and firm as silicone, it is a
close alternative for those with no latex allergies that don't want to
incur the cost of silicone. Be sure to clean toys thoroughly before and
after use as latex is porous and can harbor germs.
3) Jelly
Jelly toys are easily the most prevalent on the market as they are soft,
comfortable, and reasonably inexpensive. They are more delicate than most
other styles and extremely porous, so wash thoroughly and discard if the
material tears.
4) Lifelike (i.e.; Cyberskin, UR3, Passion Skin, Futurotic)
Soft and fleshy, these replicate the texture and feel of real human skin.
Delicate and porous, they require extra care but are well worth it. A
dusting of specially formulated renewal powder or cornstarch after each
cleaning will maintain the texture. Store them apart from other toys as
direct contact can degrade the composition of the material.
5) Acrylic
Do you like your toys hard? Then acrylic or plastic is great for you.
They're easy to keep clean because they're non-porous and enable you to
reach your G-spot or anal erogenous zones with an abundance of pressure.
6) Vinyl
Basic, reliable, and affordable, vinyl is extremely durable and easy to
keep clean since it is non-porous. Vinyl is not currently used for many
toys, but manufacturers are increasing their output as its popularity
increases.
7) Glass
Glass is rapidly becoming the material of choice for dildo connoisseurs.
With proper care glass pieces will last a lifetime and beyond. These are
generally made by the same glass blowers that construct glass pipes and
can be found with beautiful designs and decorations. Pyrex glass pieces
are virtually indestructible as they are made of the same glass used for
science labs. Some glass pieces are filled with liquids that glow in the
dark, hold heat, or simply add to the attractiveness of the toy. Glass
is non-porous, hypoallergenic, and dishwasher safe. It can be run under
water to change the temperature or even put in boiling water or the freezer
as it retains temperature. If your glass toy gets a crack or chip in it,
DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY.
