Allergy
Or Toxin Warnings
TPR Silicone is hypoallergenic, nontoxic and phthalate free. TPR is
less porous than Cyberskin but more porous than Silicone, therefore
we recommend condom use with sex toys made of TPR to prevent the spread
of bacteria or to take great care to keep it clean with antibacterial
sex toy cleaner.
Lubricants
Waterbased only. Silicone or oil base lubricants may damage this material.
The reason to not use silicone lubricants on TPR silicone sex toys,
is that a silicone lubricant may bond to the toy and ruin it. This
isn't true for ALL TPR silicone sex toys as it depends on the purity
of the TPR silicone sex toy and the purity of the lubricant. If you
wish to test your TPR silicone sex toy with silicone lubricant, use
the bottom of the base and do a test spot. If the area does not become
sticky or gummy, then the silicone lubricant should be compatible.
Recycling
Level
TPR silicone is recyclable. The recycle process is in two parts. First
the production waste is recycled and then the finished product can
be recycled as well.
