What exactly are the difference between glass, acrylic, plastic, vinyl, rubber, jelly, latex, silicone, and
Cyberskin™?
All of these materials vary not only in their look, weight, and feel but also in usage and proper cleaning. It is important
to
understand what material your adult toy is made from so that you avoid any unpleasant situation, such as an allergic reaction
or destroying your toy while cleaning.
GLASS & PYREX
Adult toys that are made from glass, or Pyrex have become very popular. Not only are they beautiful pieces of art, but they
are easy to clean because of how durable the non-porous material is. Hand blown, from the same unbreakable glass used in
contemporary bake ware. Even if you leave this pretty toy lying around the house, your friends will never know just how much
fun you are having. So discrete and easily heated or cooled to give you even more pleasure. If you are looking for a long
lasting, pleasurable, easy to use and clean adult toy glass is the way to go!
Here are some of the benefits in owning a glass adult toy:
· Is heat absorbent and adjusts to body temperature
· Non-porous material so lubes last longer
· Can be sterilized in boiling water
· Dishwasher Safe
· Can be placed in the freezer
· Can be heated in the microwave
· Hard, seamless, smooth texture
· Will not retain odor after being cleaned
· Hypoallergenic
· Will last virtually forever
ACRYLIC
Acrylic like glass is another new, creative material found to be excellent in creating adult sex toys. Although it is just
being explored, you are guaranteed to have hours of endless erotic pleasure with your acrylic toy! While most toys are long,
curved, simple shapes acrylic can be more sensual with its added pleasuring round-beaded shapes. Molded into almost any shape
imaginable, acrylic adult sex toys our one of or hottest items. Acrylic is simple to clean using soap, rubbing alcohol, or an
adult toy cleaner. Because most acrylic toys are dildos, not vibrators, you can clean them under water. Which is just another
bonus in owning acrylic.
SILICONE
If you want your vibrator to look and feel real, even take on the heat of your body transforming it into a real-life
experience - silicone is the one for you. It is right next to Cyberskin ™ in the closest feel to real skin. Silicone is
vastly superior to rubber, jelly, or vinyl. It easily retains body heat, is non-porous and easy to clean. Unlike other
materials silicone can be boiled or put in the dishwasher. This makes it very convenient to clean. Because of it's non-porous
nature it is less likely to spread germs when cleaned properly. Silicone adult sex toys are the leading seller not only
because they are longer lasting than other materials because your body is less likely to attain an allergic reaction. Merely
hypo allergenic, you just can't go wrong when choosing your own special favorite. They come in just about any sex toy you can
think of. Silicone generally is more expensive than jelly or latex because it is a higher quality material that will last
longer. So smooth, soft, warm and oh so real!
JELLIES
If you are looking for a toy that won't cost as much as silicone but will give you a similar feel, jelly is our pick. Jellies
are made from a plastic called PVC. It is a very smooth, soft, rubber-like material, which makes it one of the most popular
sellers. Jelly is wonderful because it is affordable and realistic. It has similar components to silicone in the feel and the
fact that it too is body heat retainable. Differences between jelly and silicone products are clear when cleaning. Jelly is a
more delicate material therefore you cannot boil it, put it in the dishwasher or use any harsh soap. It can be damaged easily
so never use rubbing alcohol or a lubricant that is oiled based. Ideally, an adult toy cleaner or a very mild soap such as
dove. So fun, thick, and translucent - just give a try!
RUBBER
Rubber adult sex toys are much more firm, and heavy compared to silicone or jelly. More often rubber is used for someone who
is looking for a stiff, hard, stimulation sometimes anally. If you aren't picky and can use your imagination wonderfully,
then you won't have any problems using a rubber toy. A down side to rubber is that it is a more porous material therefore
should be carefully cleaned or used with a condom. Rubber can be cleaned with a very mild soap, just make sure that it is dry
when you put it away. It is versatile and has a nice low cost for those who don't want to spend a fortune on a sex toy. If you
know that you are allergic to latex you won't want to use rubber, as it is made of similar components.
LATEX
Latex is a soft, pliable material like silicone or jelly but less expensive because it isn't high quality and usually doesn't
last as long. It is a more porous material so tends to be more difficult to clean. Just remember to use a mild soap, no harsh
ingredients like rubbing alcohol or other detergents that will break down the latex material and leave you with a mess. If you
want to use a lubricant make sure it is water based. Some people may experience an allergic reaction to latex, if so you
would want to use a similar material such as jelly or silicone.
PLASTIC OR VINYL
Plastic is a great material for beginners! It's lightweight and comes in various shapes, sizes and colors. Plastic isn't
flexible and some may think of it similar to a hard, cool, rubber. Traditionally most vibrators are made from plastic because
the vibration can be easily exchanged through the rigid material, making the vibrations intense and strong. Plastic is a
non-porous material, which makes it easy to clean. Unlike jelly or latex you can use rubbing alcohol, soap, or an adult toy
cleaner. If your vibrator is waterproof you could even remove the batteries and put it in the dishwasher. If you are into
simple strength, with a classy case, plastic is sure to please your every need!
CYBERSKIN™
Cyberskin ™ is the most recent advancement in sex toy material and very unique. It is smooth, soft, supple, and has the
closest feel to real skin. Cyberskin ™ is very porous so you would be very careful when cleaning. Often times these toys
will
come with a cleaning kit, but if not you can use a liquid antibacterial soap or a very small amount of soap or rubbing alcohol
on a damp cloth, either way will work. To keep your Cyberskin ™ in good condition and feeling real, simply dust it with
cornstarch or talcum after you clean and dry it. Always remember to store it in a cool, dry, airtight place, or you may get
mold. Cyberskin ™ is usually pricey but if real is what you want than you won't mind a higher price. Speaking of real,
