What Should Your Sex Toy Be Made Of? Let’s Get Material, Babe

Let’s Get Real: Your Pleasure Tools Deserve Better

You wouldn’t put just anything in your body- and your sex toys should be held to the same gold standard. Whether you’re shopping your first vibe or upgrading your entire drawer, knowing what your toys are made of is essential for your health and your orgasms.

Here’s your cheeky but crucial guide to what sex toy materials are actually safe- and which ones deserve a hard pass.

 

These are the VIPs of the toy world- safe, hygienic, and built for bliss:

✅ Medical Grade Silicone

  • Hypoallergenic, non-porous, velvety to the touch

  • Easy to clean and sterilise

  • Available in a rainbow of dreamy colours

💜 Perfect for: All play types- clit, G-spot, anal, even shared partner play.

🛍️ NIROBI Recommends:

  • NIROBI Pro Rabbit– For toe-curling blended orgasms

 

Borosilicate Glass

  • Ultra-smooth, sleek, and temperature-reactive

  • 100% non-porous and body-safe

Stainless Steel

  • Cool to the touch, weighted, and super durable

  • Great for G-spot or P-spot pressure

  • Easy to clean and store

💜 Perfect for: Experienced players, power lovers, and those who like a little heft.

 

⚠️ Materials to Avoid (Like, Seriously)

Some toys look cute, but come with a hidden risk. Here’s what to sidestep:

🚫 Jelly Rubber / TPE / “Love Gel”

  • Porous AF (meaning it traps bacteria)

  • Often contains phthalates (toxic chemical softeners)

  • Smells weird- and that’s your first red flag

🚫 Mystery Materials from Unknown Brands

If you can’t find the material listed on the packaging or site, or it just says “soft silicone feel”... run. Marketing words ≠ safety.


How to Tell If a Toy Is Safe

  • 📝 Always read product descriptions- look for “medical-grade,” “borosilicate,” or “non-porous.”

  • 🔬 Do a sniff test- strong chemical smells are never good.

  • 🧽 Safe toys are easy to clean- no crevices, no weird coatings.

Final Word: Go for Gorgeous and Safe

Investing in body-safe sex toys is investing in your long-term pleasure. You deserve toys that love your body back- without mystery chemicals or risk.

NIROBI is all about radical, joyful self-pleasure, and that starts with clean, gorgeous, and safe materials that elevate every touch.
