The solid type, non-porous materials most commonly used in the production of adult toys are stainless steel, glass and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or one of the types of plastic. these materials is very easy to care for with warm water and mild soap.

Finally, the final care step is to coat the surfaces of the toy with cornstarch or a special after drying TPE material restoring powder. this simple trick will improve the appearance of a masturbator or other item and prevent sticking of the walls, significantly prolonging the pleasure of use.

What is so special about TPE when there is an opportunity to choose, for example, a faster and easier-to-maintain silicone alternative? The answer lies in the feeling. The structure of the porous material is very soft and resembles human flesh. Leather-like touch provides a more familiar experience while using the toy, allowing for more relaxation and realism enjoy the games.
