At the moment some sex toy manufacturer use so called elastomers for their sex toys.
An elastomer is a polymer with the property of elasticity. The term, which is derived from elastic polymer, is often used interchangeably with the term rubber, and is preferred when referring to vulcanisates. (if you are really into chemicals look for here for details .)
Basically elastomers are a group of materials and rubber is one of them . So,l we are looking at a group of materials that are used in sex toys. I you think you will find all substances on the package and if you know all the different terms for the mixes that can be made, then go for it. But you could have a silicone-rubber mix and still find it under elastomer toy.
Unlike other sites on the web I do not dare to tell you that elastomer toys are free from anything. All I can say is that surely there is no silicon involved and surely it is much cheaper than silicon. Like always try to get some information on the website of the manufacturer. It is your health, so spend some time to figure it out.
For me it is just another good reason to produce my adult toys with 100% pure silione. This way my customers know what they get.
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.
