💎 Silicone dildos: A popular choice that's safe, durable, and easy to care for.
**Silicone Dildo** is one of the most popular sex toys on the market due to its outstanding properties of body-safe materials, high durability, and a texture that can mimic real skin very well.
Understanding the properties of silicone will help you choose and care for toys that are hygienic and long-lasting.
1. Properties of Medical-Grade Silicone
The silicone used to make high-quality dildos and sex toys is usually medical-grade (or food-grade) silicone, which has the following key advantages:
| feature | Description |
|---|---|
| **Body-Safe** | Non-porous, making it difficult for bacteria and fungi to penetrate, and free from harmful chemicals such as phthalates and latex. |
| **Temperature resistant** | It can withstand high heat, making it easy to sterilize by boiling water (for models without electronic devices). |
| **Realistic feeling** | It feels soft, flexible, and mimics skin well, making it a great choice for those looking for a realistic feel. |
| **Compatible with lubricants** | Can be used safely with water-based lubricants without material deterioration. |
2. ❌ Things to avoid when using silicone dildos
To keep your silicone dildo in good condition and safe to use, you should strictly avoid the following:
- **Oil/Silicone-based Lubricants:** Lubricants that contain oil (such as baby oil) or silicone will react and break down the silicone material, causing the dildo's surface to **become sticky, melt, or deteriorate.**
- **Soaps with harsh chemicals:** Using soaps that contain fragrances, alcohol, or bleach will cause the material to deteriorate more quickly. Use an antibacterial soap that is fragrance-free or a sex toy cleaner specifically for your child.
- **Storage with other materials:** Do not store silicone dildos near sex toys made from porous materials such as TPE, PVC, or 'Jelly Rubber' as silicone can react and absorb chemicals from these materials.
3. ✨ How to clean and store hygienically
Since silicone is an easy-to-clean material, maintenance is simple. Just follow these steps after each use:
Basic cleaning steps:
- **Immediately wash with warm water:** Wash off any secretions or lubricant with warm water.
- **Use a gentle soap:** Clean with a fragrance-free antibacterial soap or a sex toy cleaner.
- **Rinse thoroughly with water:** Make sure there is no soap residue left as this may cause irritation when used again.
- **Dry thoroughly:** Use a lint-free cloth to wipe dry or place in a well-ventilated area to air dry before storing.
Sterilization Tips (For non-battery models): Can be boiled in boiling water for about 5-10 minutes for maximum effective sterilization.
**Storage:** Silicone dildos should be stored in a cloth bag, special box, or in a separate place, away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
