Silicone
Silicone is a favorite of Chambre Rouge as its material is body-safe, durable, and retains body heat. Another benefit of silicone is that it is very hypoallergenic, so these toys are ideal for people with sensitive skin.
- Silicone is nonporous, meaning the material surface doesn’t have any pores for bacteria to live in, and it is very easy to clean.
- If the toy is 100% silicone and doesn’t have a motor, you can boil the toy for 5-10 minutes or wash it with any soap you would use on your body. Boiling is the most thorough way of disinfecting the toy, however. Unless the motor is removable, don’t boil a silicone toy with a motor!
- If you plan on using a toy on multiple bodies that aren’t fluid-bonded, boiling the toy is the only way to disinfect the toy so that no fluids are being passed. Otherwise, you can place a condom over the toy to safely share it.
- It’s important to not use silicone based lubes with silicone toys. The silicone lube will cause solid silicone to melt and will permanently damage the toy. If you place a condom over the toy, you can safely use the toy with silicone lube.
