Silicone and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) are the two most common materials used in sex dolls, and both are generally considered safe for use. However, like with any product, it’s important to understand how to care for these materials properly to ensure safety.
Silicone is a durable, non-porous material, making it easier to clean and maintain. It’s also hypoallergenic, meaning it’s less likely to cause skin irritation, making it ideal for long-term use. TPE, while softer and more flexible, is slightly more porous, so it requires more care in cleaning and maintenance. If not cleaned properly, TPE dolls can absorb moisture, leading to bacterial growth and degradation of the material.
Both materials are body-safe when used correctly, but users must adhere to proper hygiene practices. Always clean your doll thoroughly after each use with mild soap and water, and ensure it is completely dry before storing. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, as these can break down silicone and TPE, leading to damage over time.
With proper care, both silicone and TPE dolls can provide a safe and enjoyable experience. It’s essential to follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning, storage, and maintenance to ensure your doll’s longevity and safety.
