Hard Sex Toy Materials
Plastic, Lucite, Acrylic, Glass metal, Ceramic are all classified as hard toys. These materials do not contain phthalates. Clean them with soap and water and use condoms if sharing. Do not boil plastic, Lucite or acrylic toys. Glass retains temperature extremely well and requires only a little lube for a super-slippery effect. Hard plastic toys have firm, smooth textures. Some may be a cheaper alternative to silicone toys. Hard plastics are significantly less porous than rubber toys and can be used without condoms if only used by one person. The Sweet Spot carries toys made of all different kinds of hard plastic. Basically all these plastics are common, safe materials which require the same care. ABS plastic is a mix between elastomer, rubber, and hard plastic which is durable and recyclable. We try to carry Pyrex and laboratory-quality glass that will not shatter if dropped. Examine your toy before each use. If you notice a crack in your glass toy, stop using it. Lucite and acrylic are shatter-free and harder to break, but it is possible to crack them and you can boil them to clean.
