Available in a wide range of densities, colors, shapes and sizes Silicone is a popular sex toy material. Silicone is hypoallergenic, and preferred by those who are sensitive or allergic to any materials. Being non-porous, it does not harbour bacteria like other rubber sex toys can. hot soapy water, alcohol or bleach can be used to clean silicone (be sure to rinse thoroughly!) And if there are no motors the toy can be sanitized in boiling water or the top rack of your dishwasher. Do not use silicone based lubricant with a silicone sex toy. Silicone lubricants will break down the silicone in your toy and cause it to be porous, and ruin the finish of your toy. Instead, use a water based lubricant with silicone sex toys.
