Silicone, glass, metal: explore the materials for your sex toy

That's it, you've finally decided to invest in a little marvel, a toy with a thousand benefits, a producer of smiles just-for-you (indeed, the one we're talking about can't be shared). Yes yes, that's right, a sex toy! Depending on your sensitivities and the use you wish to make of it, the object of your desires will obviously not be the same.

Minuit Treize offers you a focus on the noble materials of sex toys: we are going to talk about silicone, glass and metal, three modern and durable materials that offer a wide range of sensations. This little guide aims to help you choose the intimate toys that will best suit your pleasure.

Silicone: softness above all else

 Silicone sex toys exist in various forms, each dedicated to specific uses: vibrators (vaginal, G-spot), non-penetrating clitoral stimulators, prostate stimulators, dildos, geisha balls... Firm but flexible, silicone allows easy insertion with lubricant, and smooth vibration dampening (if any). Everyone will tell you, silicone is extremely soft and never clings to the skin.

It is essential to choose your sex toys in 100% silicone , and that it is certified without phthalates and without endocrine disruptors. The material stays at room temperature and is easy to clean with warm water and PH neutral soap. Finally, always use a water-based lubricant because a silicone-based lubricant could damage your object.

Glass: between glide and versatility

We'll arrest you right away: you're not going to end up with crushed glass shards in your panties, swear word! These sex toys are made of hypoallergenic borosilicate glass , a clean, thick material that is resistant to temperature changes and cut-proof. Perfect right? Clearly ecological, they often have elegant designs and are easy to clean (a little blow in the dishwasher and it's folded!).

Above all, glass dildos provide very different sensations: firmness, heaviness, glide, depth. The impression that the walls of the body surround the sex toy can quickly bring calm and comfort, as if one were filled.e, fulfilled.e. With glass, you also open the doors of the game on temperatures : immerse them in hot water or put them in the freezer (not too long), no resistance problem! Finally, glass sex toys are openly versatile: they can be used vaginally or anal (provided that the latter are equipped with a safety handle).

Metal: mirror mirror

With their shimmering curves, metal sex toys are overflowing with charm and elegance. To be more precise, know that the name “metal” can designate several things: aluminum or stainless steel (in short, anything that does not rust). Just like glass, they do not contain endocrine disruptors or phthalates, they are smooth and support hot/cold games very well.

In terms of effects, metal sex toys are quite similar to glass ones. The weight of steel (heavier than aluminum) allows, by the application of targeted pressures, quite strong sensations and access to erogenous zones such as the G-spot. The weight does have a drawback: its rigidity can induce good arm or wrist cramps.

Before leaving, a little useful reminder to all: don't forget to clean your sex toys before and after use . You do not know how ?

NB: If you happen to come across Jelly rubber or PVC sex toys straight out of the lowlands of low-cost sales sites, go your way! This type of porous object does not clean well and can therefore facilitate the development of bacteria that are harmful to your health. In general, you will always be advised to opt for well-known, tested and validated brands.
