Sex Toys
- Silicone: High-quality, medical-grade silicone is a popular choice for many adult toys because it’s body-safe, hypoallergenic, and non-porous, meaning it doesn’t harbor bacteria. Silicone products are soft, flexible, and provide a skin-like feel, making them comfortable and safe for intimate use.
- ABS Plastic: Often used in rigid parts of toys, such as handles or cases, ABS plastic is durable, non-toxic, and body-safe. It's also non-porous and easy to clean, making it a preferred material for certain toys.
- TPE/TPR (Thermoplastic Elastomers/Rubbers): These materials offer a soft and flexible feel, similar to silicone, but may be porous, meaning they’re more likely to harbor bacteria. TPE and TPR are usually used in lower-cost items, though they aren’t as long-lasting or hygienic as silicone.
- Glass: Borosilicate glass, which is highly durable and shatter-resistant, is sometimes used in high-end sex toys. It’s non-porous, hypoallergenic, and compatible with all types of lubricants, providing a unique, firm experience.
- Metal (Stainless Steel): Stainless steel is commonly used in toys where weight and firmness are desirable. It’s non-porous, body-safe, and can be used with any lubricant.
- Jelly/Rubber (PVC): While still available, jelly or PVC materials are less common in modern, quality sex toys due to concerns about phthalates and other potentially harmful chemicals. Many reputable brands now avoid these materials in favor of safer, non-toxic alternatives.
2. Lingerie
- Lace and Mesh: Lace and mesh are commonly used for their aesthetic appeal in lingerie, offering a delicate, sheer appearance. Lace is often made from nylon, polyester, or spandex blends to provide elasticity and durability.
- Silk and Satin: Higher-end lingerie may use silk or satin fabrics for a luxurious feel against the skin. While silk is natural, breathable, and soft, satin is often a polyester-based, cost-effective alternative that provides a similar smooth texture.
- Cotton: Often used in lingerie linings or parts of garments that touch the skin, cotton is breathable, hypoallergenic, and ideal for sensitive areas. Some products may use organic cotton for eco-conscious shoppers.
- Nylon and Spandex Blends: Many lingerie items, especially stretchy or body-contouring pieces, are made from nylon and spandex blends for comfort, elasticity, and durability.
3. Bath and Body Products
- Natural Oils (e.g., Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil): Natural oils are commonly used in massage oils and body products due to their skin-nourishing properties. They provide hydration, lubrication, and a pleasant feel for intimate products.
- Aloe Vera: Known for its soothing and moisturizing qualities, aloe vera is often used in body mists, lotions, and even some lubricants for its gentle, skin-friendly properties.
- Glycerin: A common ingredient in personal lubricants and body care products, glycerin is a humectant that helps retain moisture. However, it can be problematic for some individuals, as it may increase the risk of yeast infections in sensitive areas.
- Essential Oils and Fragrances: Many bath and body products include essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, or chamomile for their aromatic and soothing properties. Synthetic fragrances may also be used, although these are sometimes avoided by people with sensitive skin.
- Paraben-Free Preservatives: To extend shelf life and maintain product safety, paraben-free preservatives are often used, especially in water-based products like lotions or body mists.
4. Lubricants
- Water-Based: Water-based lubricants are versatile, safe to use with most toys and condoms, and easy to clean up. They often contain ingredients like glycerin, aloe vera, and cellulose to improve glide and consistency.
- Silicone-Based: Silicone-based lubricants provide long-lasting slickness and are ideal for water play since they’re not water-soluble. They work well with non-silicone toys and are body-safe, though they can leave a residue.
- Hybrid Lubricants: Hybrid lubricants combine water and silicone for a balanced texture that’s longer-lasting than water-based alone but still easy to clean. They are often compatible with most toys and are a good middle ground.
- Oil-Based: Oil-based lubricants provide a thicker, moisturizing experience but are not compatible with latex condoms and may not be recommended for internal use due to potential bacterial growth.
5. Bondage Gear and BDSM Kits
- Leather and Faux Leather: High-quality BDSM gear often uses leather for its durability and aesthetic appeal. Faux leather or vegan leather options are available for customers who prefer animal-free materials.
- Silicone and Rubber: Some restraint or bondage items use soft, flexible silicone or rubber for a more comfortable fit. These materials are generally body-safe and easy to clean.
- Metal (Stainless Steel): Metal is used in items like cuffs, chains, and hooks for strength and durability. Stainless steel is often chosen for its hypoallergenic properties and sleek appearance.
- Nylon and Cotton: These materials are common in softer bondage items like ropes, straps, and blindfolds. They provide strength without discomfort, making them popular choices for beginners.
