You can easily get a sex toys for 10 to 15 dollar. In the first place this looks like a good deal. But here is something you should consider.
Most of the cheap sex toys use cheap materials, like elastomers, PVC, jelly or whatever. All of them are cheap to produce and all of them are porous. The bacteria can hide here very good and so it is not a surprise that you can read all over the Internet that you should use a condom if you use cheap sex toys. If you share your sex toy you should do this in any case with any toy, but even if you do not share your sex toy, infections might occur again and again becauuse you could not clean your sex toy properly. In this case it makes a huge difference if you have a silicone toy, or if you use cheap sex toy that is porous and that will make it difficult for you to clean it.
Let’s do the math. You bought a porous cheap PVC sex toy. Now you have to use condoms with it because you cannot clean it properly. A pack of 12 normal condoms cost about 10 dollar. If you use your toy just 60 times with a condom, you have to add another 50 dollar for the condoms you bought. So within a short period of time your so called inexpensive toy will become more expensive than most of the luxury silicon toys. This example does not include cost for medical treatments.
What appeared to be a cheap offer, turns out to be pretty expensive.
First of all I am talking about real silicone toys, meaning 100% medical silicone. and not a mixture of rubber and some 10% silicone. The best feature for sure is that medical silicone is anti allergenic. So what does that mean? silicone is not only phthalate free is also has attributes that makes it most unlikely that people with allergies would see a reaction to the material. Since silicone easily absorbs temperature, it warm up to body temperature pretty fast and keeps the warmness. The density of silicone makes it perfect for vaginal and anal penetration it has a good natural feel thanks to the softness. Th density also translates vibrations very well throughout the whole product. silicone is easy to clean and lasts long if handled correctly. You can use it with all non-silicone based lubricants oils and gels.
One of the main issues when you choose your sex toy should be the question how can I clean it. Let’s have a look at dildos first. Silicon dildos can be cooked. Yes your are right, you can actually sterilize them with simple hot water. Try this with a PVC toy and you won’t have much fun with it anymore. But since most of the toys in our days are vibrators, the real problem comes with button wheels and other funny parts of your toy. One thing is obvious, if your vibrator has many buttons that you cannot clean correctly because you would ruin the electronic parts, chance are very high that within a few days after the first use, you create your own little bacteria culture. Yesyou might be a friend of bacterias but surely you do not want to have the same old urethral infection again and again. Surely you can use a condom and you can wear hand gloves and also you can wear a gas mask. Unfortunately not all of us have that fetish, in fact most users prefer to use lubricants and they cannot avoid that fingers will spread the body fluids and the lubricant all over the toy. Also you have to have the right lubricant to it with condoms and the condoms should have a certain quality. Besides that I found it pretty expensive to use a condom every when you pleasure yourself. So when you look for a new toy, you should spend some time to think about the time after the use of your toy. You should have a look if it is all smooth, or are there lots of buttons and wheels and patterns that cannot be reached to clean the fun toy correctly. Correctly means you can use alcohol, bleach, soap or disinfection products that you can buy in your local store. All you have to do is to make sure you rinse thoroughly with water afterwards. You will find out that it makes more sense to make sure your toy is absolutely waterproof. That means you can take in your bath tub and it would survive. The more waterproof your toys are the better you can rinse them, the better you can clean them. It’ so simple with silicon toys.
