We all know that sex toys improve our sex lives in a variety of ways and give us a wide range of health benefits. However, what most of us don't know is that some sex toys and vibrators can lead to allergies, rashes and infections. The material used in your sex toys is responsible for these problems and that is why it's very important that you seek body safe toys and vibrators that cause no such problems.

Sex toy materials

Sex toys are available in a wide range of materials including plastic sex toys, silicone toys, jelly rubber toys, elastomer sex toys and silicone and rubber mixes. Out of all these materials you must watch out for jelly rubber toys that contain phthalates for softening purposes. Silicone and rubber mix sex toys and vibrators are porous and can transmit infections if they are not sterilized. Silicone toys and vibrators made from elastomer on the other hand are body safe toys and are 100% hypoallergenic. You can even use hard plastic toys as they are body safe toys even if they are not as pliable and pleasurable as jelly toys.

Safety tips

- It is very important that you clean and sterilize your sex toys thoroughly after every use.

- If you use body safe toys made from elastomer, hard plastic or silicone, you can easily clean them with warm water and sex toy cleaner or soap as they are non-porous.

- Always use silicone toys for anal sex. Many people use silicone lubricants with anal toys as they last for long and are quite slick. If you use anal toys made from silicone, you need to make sure that you don't use silicone lubricants with them.

- If you share your anal toys and sex toys with someone, make sure you use a condom always.

- Also use a condom if you use your sex toys anally and vaginally interchangeably.

- If you already have a lot of jelly rubber toys, as silicone toys are relatively newer, use a condom over them to reduce the risks of infection.

High quality female and male sex toys

Female as well as male sex toys are available in a variety of materials. Male sex toys made from silicone and cyber skin are very popular amongst men as they simulate real sex and heighten your sensuality and pleasure. However, cyber skin male sex toys are quite expensive and need a lot of care and maintenance. Cyber skin male sex toys work best when used with cyber skin powder and lubricant which is specially formulated to work with cyber skin toys. Female toys on the other hand are made from a variety of materials including jelly rubber, silicone, elastomer, hard plastic and silicone and rubber mix. Excluding jelly rubber toys, all toys are body safe toys and can be used by men as well as women without any worries.

Make sure you find out the materials used in the sex toys you wish to purchase, before you place an order. Always choose body safe toys in future, even if it means paying a bit more.
