What “body-safe” usually means

In intimate products, body-safe generally means materials that are non-toxic for intended use, preferably non-porous so they can be cleaned thoroughly, and free from problematic plasticisers such as phthalates when claimed by the manufacturer.

We only publish material claims we can verify from reliable sources. If a supplier feed is vague, the product page stays honest about what we know.

Common materials

These materials appear often in quality toys and accessories:

• Medical-grade / body-safe silicone — non-porous when pure; pair with water-based lube
• ABS plastic — hard, non-porous, often used in bullets and housings
• Borosilicate glass — non-porous, temperature play possible with care
• Stainless steel — non-porous, heavy, temperature responsive

Porous materials and caution

Some elastomers and jelly-style materials can be more porous and harder to sanitise fully. If a product uses a porous material, cleaning discipline matters more, and many people prefer a condom barrier. Check the individual product page for what we could verify.

Cleaning basics

Warm water and a mild, alcohol-free cleaner cover most non-porous toys. Air-dry fully before storage. Keep charge ports dry unless the product is explicitly waterproof. More detail is on our care page.
