Better
Than Real is a trademarked name for a line of adult toys made
of rubber. Rubber is an elastic hydrocarbon polymer that occurs
naturally as a sap from various plants but is also synthetically
reproduced.
Example
Better than real toys come in a variety of colors. They are smooth
with a tacky feel and taste and smell like rubber.
Allergy
Or Toxin Warnings
Rubber can contain phthalates, however
it depends on the type of rubber. Phthalates are a family of chemicals
that are used to soften rubbers and plastics. There is a growing
body of evidence that shows phthalates pose a health risk and
can have a toxic effect. If you own a rubber adult toy, and suspect
that it may contain phthalates, we highly recommend the use of
a condom to reduce the risk of possible exposure. Another option
is to purchase toys that are phthalate free such as toys made
of Elastomer or Silicone.
It
is also important to note that rubber can contain latex which
is an allergen for some people. For individuals with a sensitivity
or allergy to latex we recommend adult toys made of 100%
Medical Grade Silicone.
Cleaning
Recommendations
Clean
your rubber adult toy with mild soap and warm water or an antibacterial
sex toy cleaner. Rubber
is porous, therefore it can harbor bacteria and cannot be sterilized.
It is recommended that you use a condom with rubber adult toys.
We recommend
storing Better Than Real items in a storage/separation
bag or wrapped in thin material, as the porous surface can
absorb anything it comes in contact with. Also, toys made of rubber
may melt if they come in contact with other jelly toys or toys
of another material.
Lubricants
Waterbased only.
