Medical Grade Silicone
          Guide To Materials

          Sex Toys & More

Silicones are polymers that contain silicon with carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sometimes other chemical elements. It is flexible, heat-resistant, nonstick, non-porous and rubber-like without containing any toxins. Silicone is flexible, quickly adapts to body temperature.

There are different grades of silicone: tin and platinum. They have different chemical make ups, longevitys, and compatibilitys. While all of these facts are true for either silicone, only platinum grades can be medical grade quality.

Example

Silicone is used to make many high quality adult toys. Medical Grade Silicone is the most reliable, safe, health-smart soft material used for toys.

Some great examples of 100% Medical Grade Silicone toys are: the Share Dildo the Curve and the Jollies.

Another use for 100 % Medical Grade Silicone is breast implants.

Allergy Or Toxin Warnings

100% Medical Grade Silicone is hypoallergenic and free of phthalates. This material is inert which means it will not react with other materials. It is stable and won't disintegrate or react when next to a another object like some other materials such as Jelly can.

Cleaning Recommendations

Silicone has no open pores and cannot harbor bacteria. It is very easy to clean. You can boil 100% medical grade silicone as it remains stable up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also clean this material with a 10% bleach solution or alcohol swabs and yes, you may also put it in your dishwasher.

Since sex toy hygiene is of the utmost importance, 100% medical grade silicone is the best choice in sex toys.

Lubricants

Waterbased
only.

There are different qualities of silicone out there and different qualities of silicone in lubrications, which means some lower grade silicone lubricants will bond to some silicone toys and ruin the toy. This could also lead to a chemical reaction that leads to the surface "opening" and is irreparable. Such a chemical reaction results in unpleasant bacteria and smells becoming lodged in the toy.

Therefore, we recommend waterbased lubricants with all silicone toys. However, if you prefer silicone over waterbased lubricants you may try a test patch on the bottom of the toy. If the area does not become gummy then you should be okay using that silicone lubricant with that particular silicone toy.

Recycling Level

Silicone is a chemically inert substance. This means that there are no toxic ingredients that can be out-gassed, or leached from the substance. Silicone itself, is not toxic to aquatic plants or animals nor does it have a negative effect on soil organisms. Although silicone is not biodegradable, it can be recycled.
