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.
