🔬 Comprehensive Body-Safe Materials Guide

Understanding materials is crucial for safety, comfort, and product longevity. This detailed guide helps you identify safe materials and avoid potentially harmful substances in intimate wellness products.

✅ SAFE Materials - Recommended for All Users

  • Medical-Grade Silicone: Non-porous, hypoallergenic, easy to clean and sterilise. The gold standard for intimate wellness products.
  • Borosilicate Glass: Non-porous, temperature-safe, completely inert. Excellent for temperature play and easy sterilisation.
  • Stainless Steel (316L): Non-porous, durable, temperature-safe. Perfect for advanced users and temperature exploration.
  • ABS Plastic (Hard): Non-porous when high quality, lightweight, affordable. Good for external use and beginners.
  • Ceramic (Glazed): Non-porous, artistic, temperature-safe. Unique aesthetic appeal with safety benefits.

Why These Materials Are Safe: Non-porous surfaces prevent bacteria growth, easy to clean and sterilise, hypoallergenic properties, and long-lasting durability.

❌ AVOID These Materials - Potentially Harmful

  • Jelly/Rubber: Porous material that harbours bacteria, often contains harmful phthalates, impossible to fully sterilise.
  • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Contains harmful chemicals including phthalates, can cause irritation and allergic reactions.
  • TPE/TPR (Thermoplastic): Porous material, difficult to clean thoroughly, may contain harmful additives.
  • Latex: Can cause severe allergic reactions, porous material, degrades quickly with oil-based products.
  • "Realistic" Materials: Often contain phthalates and other harmful chemicals, porous and difficult to clean.

Why to Avoid: Porous materials harbour bacteria, potential chemical exposure, allergic reactions, and impossible to fully sterilise.
