Here's something the wellness industry doesn't talk about enough: the material your personal device is made from matters enormously. Not all products are created equal — and some are genuinely unsafe.
The Gold Standard: Body-Safe Silicone
Medical-grade, body-safe silicone is non-porous (meaning bacteria can't hide in it), hypoallergenic, easy to clean, and incredibly durable. It's soft, flexible, and skin-friendly. Every XOXOSEXY product uses body-safe silicone. Full stop.
What to Avoid
- PVC and jelly rubber — porous, can harbour bacteria, and often contain phthalates (chemicals linked to hormone disruption)
- Mystery materials — if a product doesn't clearly state its material, that's a red flag
- "Skin-safe" without certification — marketing language without substance
ABS Plastic: Also Fine
Hard ABS plastic (used in some device components) is non-porous and body-safe. It's commonly used in the non-insertable parts of devices.
How to Clean Your Device
Warm water and mild soap after every use. For silicone toys without motors, you can boil them. Always dry thoroughly before storing.
Why It Matters
Your body deserves the same scrutiny you'd give food ingredients. At XOXOSEXY, body-safe isn't a selling point — it's a baseline requirement.
