LATEX FREE TOYS
Alternatives: Latex-free Sex Toys
It may be obvious, but it’s worth saying that if you’re concerned about the potential for latex allergies, know that you’re allergic to latex, or suspect that you might be allergic to latex you should avoid contact with latex. Fortunately, avoiding latex doesn’t mean avoiding sex toys altogether. In fact, there are many alternatives to latex. We’ve listed a few of the most popular ones below.
Plastic is a popular material, especially for vibrators. It’s durable, transfers vibrations well and plastic vibrators are available in an almost infinite number of shapes, sizes and colors. Unlike latex toys, plastic sex toys are typically hard and inflexible, so if you’re looking for a direct replacement for latex you might want to try one of the more realistic materials.
Silicone is a high quality material that can be exposed to chemicals and even boiling water without effect. Silicone is soft and supple, hypoallergenic and is a good substitute for latex. The only downside is that silicone tends to be more expensive than many other materials.
Jelly is a common sex toy material. Jelly is popular because it is relatively inexpensive, easy to manufacture and comes in virtually any color. It’s also soft and flexible, the degree of which depends on the manufacturing process, and is a good material for lifelike toys.
Cyberskin was developed as a response to an increasing demand for realistic sex toys. Cyberskin looks and feels similar to human skin, and allergic reactions to it are extremely rare.
Glass as a sex toy material is a recent phenomenon and has become a popular “specialty” material. Glass dildos are available in brilliant colors and beautiful designs, and although they are on the high-end of the price range glass dildos or glass vibrators last a very long time and can be sterilized with boiling water or chemical cleaners with no ill effects.
