Sex Toy Materials: Navigating Your Options

Looking for sex toys can be overwhelming. Afterall, there are many toys to choose from Blush! However, before you choose it’s best to know the details of sex toy materials. Your health and wellness is important. At Blush, we work hard to create products that are both body safe and affordable. Below you will find the details that make Blush products a cut above the rest.

 

ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)

• non-toxic
• phthalate-free
• latex-free
• paraffin-free
• odor free
• nonporous

ABS plastic is commonly known as “hard plastic.” This material is rigid, hard to the touch, transfers vibration beautifully, and compatible with all lubricants. ABS toys can be glossy and smooth, or they can appear matte and feel velvety soft. Furthermore, the lack of flexibility in ABS plastic makes it an ideal material for toys that get pressed against the clitoris, and items that create a deep pressure massage for the G spot and prostate.

BioFeel

• plant based
• petroleum free
• non-toxic
• phthalate-free
• latex-free
• paraffin-free
• odor free
• nonporous

Our Gaia collection is made from BioFeel, a non-petroleum plant based material.  Like ABS plastic, our material is solid, hard to the touch, transfers vibration beautifully, and compatible with all lubricants. Gaia is smooth to the touch, transfers vibrations beautifully and looks and feels like other premium hard-plastic toys. Not to mention, Gaia brand vibes are also the most affordable green sex toys on the market! We are proud of that.

Glass

• non-toxic
• phthalate-free
• latex-free
• paraffin-free
• odor free
• nonporous

Smooth, sexy and perfectly weighted, our glass kegel balls are body safe and easy to clean. Glass is cool to the touch and warms with your body heat. The non-porous nature of glass means it’s easy to clean with soap and water. (Think of cookware and kitchenware – it’s made to be used often and easily cleaned.) Also, you can use any quality lubricant with your glass pleasure products.

 

Silicone

• • non-toxic
  • phthalate-free
  • latex-free

• paraffin-free
• odor free
• non-porous

Silicone is a durable, long lasting, hygienic, man-made polymer that is soft, flexible, versatile and warms with your body heat. Blush makes dense, pure, platinum cured silicone dildos. Also, we design vibrating toys with silicone casings in beautiful colors. Also, silicone has no microscopic openings, does not harbor bacteria, and is easy to clean. For the best experience, use with a quality water-based lubricant.

PVC (polyvinyl chloride)

• non-toxic
• phthalate-free
• latex-free
• paraffin-free
• no added fragrance
• non-porous

We have designed classic and modern pleasure products with our own PVC compound. Our PVC toys are available in bright shades and flesh-like shades. Our PVC is nonporous (like the PVC pipes that carry your drinking water in your home) and softened with a body-safe, phthalate and paraffin free plasticizer. Not all PVC products on the market are the same quality. Most importantly, our PVC is a proprietary blend that is lab tested and proven to be a body-safe alternative to lower grade “jelly” toys on the market. For the best experience, use with a quality water based lubricant.

Stainless Steel

• non-toxic
• phthalate-free
• latex-free
• paraffin-free
• odor free
• nonporous

This elegant, body safe metal is ideal for use in pleasure products. Stainless steel is cool to the touch and warms with your body heat. The nonporous nature of stainless steel means it’s easy to clean with soap and water. (Think of cookware and kitchenware – hygienic enough to meet food health and safety standards and easy to clean.) Our Gleam Stainless Steel Kegel Balls are the perfect alternative to lesser grade metal kegel balls on the market. Plus, you can use any quality lubricant with stainless steel.

TPE (thermoplastic elastomers) 

• non-toxic
• phthalate-free
• latex-free
• paraffin-free
• no added fragrance
• porous

Our TPE often has a classic look and feel but is a proprietary blend called Sensafeel™. TPE toys can be super soft and life like, like our strokers, dual density dildos and vibes. TPE toys can also be more smooth, solid yet flexible, and stretchy, like many of our cock rings. Not all TPE products on the market are the same quality. Not to mention, our TPE is a proprietary blend that is lab tested and proven to be a body-safe alternative to lower grade toys on the market. It’s important realize that our softest TPE products can be fragile. Therefore, please handle with care. For the best experience, use with a quality water based lubricant.
