Due to the people are more and more concerned in new sex toy, experience sensation. Today we shared soft raw material difference which use in sex toy commonly.
Are you unsure which material is best for your sex toy?
Choosing the right material for your sex toy is crucial for comfort, safety, and durability. With so many options available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. This article will outline the pros and cons of four commonly used materials: TPE, TPR, Silicone, and PVC. By understanding their properties, you can make an informed decision that suits your needs and preferences.
Normally the Dildo, Cock Ring Vibrator, Clitoris Vibrator will adopt hardness 5-20 degree (Shore A hardness).
Men’s masturbator, pocket pussy those kind of sex toys use hardness -5 ― -15 degree (Shore A hardness) with much softer TPE. Processing method include injection molding or pouring, for example big size sex toy (sex doll or half body doll), use Pouring method.

Now I will discussing PVC, TPE, TPR, SILICONE raw material’s advantage or disadvantage as below.
1. PVC:
PVC is a synthetic resin made from the polymerization of vinyl chloride.
pvc material
PVC advantage : PVC is polyvinyl chloride resin, via adding a large amount of plasticizers (usually phthalates such as DOP) to PVC, the hardness of PVC can reduce to very soft. Approach Shore A hardness of 0 degrees. PVC material’s advantage is lower cost, also can be injection molding.
PVC Disadvantage: With odour, the Plasticizer ( DOP ) is poison, although this product will not contact human oral directly, but potential hazards still raise questions about its safety among the public.Due to price is lower, so most sex toys are made of PVC on the market, and for adult products with Shore hardness below 0 degrees, that is difficult to achieve a super soft touch with PVC. Therefor some high end level brand they use environmental material.
2. TPE:
TPE soft material for adult products is basic on SEBS as the matrix, it’s made from non-toxic, recyclable plastics. Using environmental friendly operating oil as a modifier to adjust the viscosity and hardness of SEBS. The formula system for adult products is simple and it’s ultra soft materials. TPE is a environmental soft material, the ingredient SEBS and operating oil do not contain plasticizers and can detecte by such as o-phenyl16P, nonylphenol NP, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHS, etc.
tpe material
TPE advantages: Also the TPE softness can be softer than Silicone, it’s a very good material for producing men’s sex toys, for example sex doll, half body doll, pocket pussy, men’s masturbator. Due to with operating oil, some TPE formula adult toys are sticky, light smell, so manufacture add corn powder, essence in production process. Adding ultramarine colorants can adjust the background color of adult product materials.
TPE disadvantage: TPE will be age and crack above a temperature of 130ºC ~ 150 ºC； TPE will be discolor or degrade when exposed under UV light, that mean couldn’t use for outdoors.
3. TPR:
TPR is made from the polymer SBS (styrene and butadiene). It is more harder than TPE. Also it’s a kind of environmental material, Odorless, TPR does not contain heavy metals, EN71, ROHS, does not contain plasticizers (phthalates), does not contain SVHC substances of high concern under REACH regulations. Except for the risk of exceeding the standard in organic solvent residue testing, most environmental tests can be passed.
tpr material
TPR advantages : Due to TPR is soft material with reasonable price most industrials use TPR to instead of silicone, PVC.
TPR disadvantages: The touch feeling of TPR material is not as comfortable and smooth as silicone, and there is a sticky feeling on the surface of TPR material products. TPR material has poor heat resistance and is easy to deformation during compression
4. Silicone:
Silicone: Silicone is composed of silicon and oxygen. Without toxic molecular structures such as benzene rings, crosslinking agents for silicone are usually environmentally friendly material. So the silicone is a kind of much soft material, and perfect for producing sex toys ( the softness between 0-20 degree shore A ).
silicone material
Silicone advantages: Silicone can bear temperatures up to 305°C and still keep its flexibility at -100°C. Silicone is antibacterial, and easy to be cleaned, sterilized. Silicone is a great insulation material. Silicone can be cycled, but wouldn’t test with FDA
Silicone disadvantage: Silicone molding cycle time is longer; Silicone raw materials cannot be recycled or reused.Silicone cost is higher than others soft material.
In summary, silicone has an advantage over TPE in high temperature. The temperature resistance range of silicone is 200 ~ 300 ºC, while that of TPE is theoretically 130ºC ~ 150 ºC, and above that range, TPE will age and crack.
Prices of silicone rubber are higher than TPE,TPR. TPE/TPR has an advantage of being cheaper. Except for special TPE materials, silicon has such merits as halogen-free, flame retardant, food-grade proper, etc.
