Is silicone the best material for a dildo?
Yes, most experts agree that medical-grade silicone is the best material. It is non-porous, meaning it won’t trap bacteria, and it’s incredibly easy to clean and sanitize.
Can I use silicone-based lube with a silicone dildo?
No! This is the most important rule. Silicone lubricant will degrade the surface of your silicone dildo, making it sticky and unsafe. Always use a high-quality water-based lubricant.
How do I know if a dildo is made of "real" silicone?
Real silicone has a soft, velvety touch and no chemical smell. It also doesn't feel "oily" to the touch. All our products are certified 100% body-safe silicone.
How do I clean my silicone dildo?
Because silicone is non-porous, you can wash it with warm water and mild soap, or use a dedicated antibacterial toy cleaner. For a deep clean, most pure silicone toys can even be boiled for 3-5 minutes.
Are silicone dildos waterproof?
Yes, the material itself is completely waterproof. However, if you are using one of our Vibrating Silicone Dildos, ensure the battery compartment is sealed before submerging it in water.
Silicone vs. TPE Dildos — Which is better?
Answer:
While both materials are popular, Silicone is widely considered the superior choice for long-term satisfaction. Here’s why:
- Feel & Texture: Silicone offers a premium, velvety "skin-like" touch with natural suppleness. TPE is typically firmer and can feel more "plastic-like" or stiff.
- Hygiene: Silicone is non-porous (bacteria-resistant) and can be boiled to sterilize. TPE is porous, making it harder to keep 100% clean over time.
- Maintenance: Silicone stays silky-smooth forever. TPE can become sticky and may require "renewal powder" to maintain its surface.
- Price: TPE is a great budget-friendly entry point, while Silicone is a durable, body-safe investment.
The Verdict: If you want the most realistic feel and the highest safety standards, Silicone Dildos are worth every penny.
