What Are Rotating Vibrators Made From?

Rotating vibrators, just like any other sex toy, can be made from a lot of different materials. The materials that the vibrators are made from play a huge role in how expensive they turn out to be, and how safe they are.

Silicon

Some rotating vibrators are made from silicon. Silicon is a lot more durable than other materials used to make sex toys, and that's why rotating vibrators made from silicone are a lot more expensive than other kinds of vibrators. The material is also quite bendy too and feels good in the hand (and boldily canals too).

So if you ever want to get a rotating vibe, you should look out for the ones made with silicone. Most of them are made from silicone, but if you aren't sure try to ask and make sure.

Borosilicate Glass

This material is almost the perfect material for vibrators. It is neither porous nor toxic, and it doesn't change form in high temperatures. It's extremely easy to clean too, as all you need to clean it is to stick it in a dishwasher. However, rotating vibrators made from this material are scarce because it doesn't have the flexibility that these vibes require.

Lucite

Rotating vibrators made from lucite are for people who want to strengthen their PC muscles. The material is firm, safe, and easily cleanable. However, very few vibrators are made from lucite.

Materials To Avoid

While some materials are great for making rotating vibes, some aren't that great. But since the sex toy industry isn't heavily regulated, some manufacturers try to get away with making sex toys with these materials.

Jelly

Jelly looks good and feels good — but it is certainly not good, or safe for your body. That's because jelly contains phthalates. Phthalates are a softening agent and are added to materials to make them soft and flexible. However, The Environmental Protection Agency has categorised phthalates as possible human carcinogens, which means that they could contribute to causing cancer.

You certainly wouldn't want a material like that entering your body, would you? Aside from that, jelly is also porous, which means that bacteria could enter into it and make it almost impossible to clean.

If jelly is so dangerous, why do so many companies still use it to make sex toys? Well, the answer is pretty simple. Jelly is cheap. And since many people love the cheap option, they are willing to buy sex toys made from jelly.

Rubber

Rubber is mainly used to make latex and is also used to make a lot of household items. If it's safe enough to be used for household items, why is it then on this list? Well, the answer is pretty simple. Rubber has a terrible odour once it has been introduced to fluid. You wouldn't want to have a sex toy that smells, would you? Besides, it can cause allergic reactions and it's porous too, so it can be pretty difficult to clean.

PVC And Vinyl

Both materials have two things in common; they are pretty cheap and also contain phthalates.

When you're in doubt of what rotating vibrator to buy, don't be shy to ask questions. Don't worry, the staff at sex shops are trained to answer your questions, so you aren't disturbing them at all. They expect your questions, so try to ask them.
