Cloning kits let you create an exact replica of your own body parts in body-safe silicone - typically a penis (with or without the balls) or a vulva. It's a surprisingly popular way to make a custom toy for long-distance relationships, as a keepsake, or just for the novelty of having a vibrating version of yourself or your partner. The process involves mixing moulding powder, capturing the shape, then pouring silicone into the mould. Most kits include everything you need for one attempt, though refill supplies are available if your first go doesn't turn out perfectly.

Getting a good result takes a bit of patience and following the instructions closely - the moulding powder sets quickly, so have everything ready before you start mixing. Temperature matters too; body parts need to stay still and semi-firm throughout the process, which can be trickier than it sounds. If you're doing a penis clone, decide whether you want a vibrating version or just a dildo, and whether you want to include the testicles (the "plus" versions). For vulva cloning, you'll want to be comfortable holding a specific position for a few minutes. These kits make genuinely personal toys, but they're also just fun to attempt - even wonky results tend to become favourite keepsakes.
