ð 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. â 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. âĻ 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.
