Some are very flexible, others rigid; Some are designed to be hand-held, others rely mainly on their shape and weight.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the questions that come up most often about the materials, security, price, storage and aging of these sex toys.<\/p>\n<h2>Are all non-electric masturbators made of silicone?<\/h2>\n<p>No. Several materials are used depending on the type of product.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/en-gb\/product\/s-hande-portable-egg-shaped-handheld-masturbator-vagina-simulation-dorgasm-for-home-and-vo\/\" class=\"sd-goods-one sd-product-btn\"><img class=\"sd-gw-img\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/s-hande-simulation-de-vagin-masturbateur-manuel-portable-en-forme-d-oeuf-compagn-01-4588628f-1.jpg\" alt=\"S-HANDE Vaginal Simulator \u2013 Portable, egg-shaped manual masturbator \u2013 Orgasm companion for home and travel\" title=\"S-hande Portable Egg Shaped Handheld Masturbator Vagina Simulation Orgasm For Home and VO\"><span class=\"sd-gw-name\">S-hande Portable Egg Shaped Handheld Masturbator Vagina Simulation Orgasm For Home and VO<\/span><span class=\"sd-gw-b\"><span class=\"sd-price\"><em class=\"sd-red\">21,99<\/em><em class=\"sd-euro\">\u20ac<\/em><\/span><\/span><span class=\"sd-g-rbtn\">View product<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>silic<\/strong> : Soft or firm touch depending on the formulation, relatively simple maintenance when it is a good quality silicone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>TPE or other flexible elastomers<\/strong> : Very flexible and often realistic texture, but more porous material that requires careful drying.<\/li>\n<li><strong>glass<\/strong> : Hard, smooth, non-porous and easy to clean, but sensitive to shocks if not designed for intimate use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>metal<\/strong> : heavy, very smooth, non-porous and interesting for temperature variations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Platinum silicone corresponds to a cross-linking process used for certain silicones. It can be of very good quality, but this term alone is not enough to guarantee that a product will be suitable for your use.<\/p>\n<h2>Why are there so many materials?<\/h2>\n<p>Each material changes the experience.<\/p>\n<h3>suppleness<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"article-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/01-152.avif\" alt=\"suppleness\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"suppleness\"><\/figure>\n<p>TPE can be extremely flexible. Some silicones are also, but the sensation depends on the formulation and the thickness of the product.<\/p>\n<h3>stamina<\/h3>\n<p>A suitable glass or a quality metal is very resistant to surface wear. A very flexible sleeve can tear more easily at the opening if it is stretched strongly.<\/p>\n<h3>transparency<\/h3>\n<p>Glass and some elastomers can be transparent. This is above all an aesthetic choice.<\/p>\n<h3>Finish and color<\/h3>\n<p>Pigments, translucency and gloss level vary enormously from one material to another. A very bright color or a realistic finish does not necessarily indicate better quality.<\/p>\n<h3>temperature<\/h3>\n<p>Glass and metal change in temperature quickly and are therefore used by some people for hot\/cold games. The temperature should always remain comfortable for the skin.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"article-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/02-196.avif\" alt=\"temperature\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"temperature\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Do silver or \u00abantibacterial\u00bb metals prevent infections?<\/h2>\n<p>You have to be careful with this type of argument. Some metals do indeed have antimicrobial properties under certain conditions, but this does not transform a sextoy into a sterile device and never replaces cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, choose a non-porous material, an intact surface and a suitable maintenance method.<\/p>\n<h2>Is an expensive masturbator necessarily better?<\/h2>\n<p>No. The price may reflect material, manufacturing, complex casting, a known brand or craft production. But it can also simply reflect a commercial positioning.<\/p>\n<p>A high-end product can offer an excellent finish and last a long time, while a less expensive model can very well meet your needs.<\/p>\n<p>So look at the set: material, dimensions, ease of cleaning, manufacturer's reputation, warranty and user feedback. The right product is not necessarily the most expensive.<\/p>\n<h2>Does the price guarantee security?<\/h2>\n<p>Again, no. Safety depends mainly on the material, the quality of the workmanship and the correct use.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"article-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/03-187.avif\" alt=\"Does the price guarantee security?\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Does the price guarantee security?\"><\/figure>\n<p>A cheap product from a serious manufacturer can be safe. Conversely, a very expensive handmade product may lack information on its composition.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid product sheets that do not give any specific material or which the seller cannot provide maintenance instructions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/en-gb\/product\/terminator-oral-sex-x-vaginal-9-telescopic-rotations9-masturbator-masturbator\/\" class=\"sd-goods-one sd-product-btn\"><img class=\"sd-gw-img\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/terminator-sexe-oral-x-vaginal-9-rotations-telescopiques-9-succions-masturbateur-01-f27d40a8.gif\" alt=\"Terminator \u2013 Oral and vaginal sex! 9 telescopic rotations + 9 suction cycles Male masturbator\" title=\"Terminator \u2013 Oral and vaginal sex! 9 telescopic rotations + 9 suction cycles Male masturbator\"><span class=\"sd-gw-name\">Terminator \u2013 Oral sex x vaginal! 9 Telescopic Rotations+9 Masturbator Masturbator Suction<\/span><span class=\"sd-gw-b\"><span class=\"sd-price\"><em class=\"sd-red\">59,99<\/em><em class=\"sd-euro\">\u20ac<\/em><\/span><\/span><span class=\"sd-g-rbtn\">View product<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How to check that a product is suitable for intimate contact?<\/h2>\n<p>Search:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a clearly identified subject; ;<\/li>\n<li>a traceable manufacturer or brand; ;<\/li>\n<li>cleaning instructions; ;<\/li>\n<li>a surface without cracks, burrs or strong lingering smells; ;<\/li>\n<li>A suitable safety base for any product intended for anal use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A \u00abtest report\u00bb may be useful when it exists, but not all sellers provide the same documents. Beware above all vague claims without any concrete information.<\/p>\n<h2>Why are some masturbators sticky?<\/h2>\n<p>A slightly adherent surface is common on some TPEs and very flexible materials. It can also appear with aging or after using an incompatible product.<\/p>\n<p>Quality silicone is not necessarily sticky. If a surface that was previously dry suddenly becomes very sticky, oily or deformed, it can be a sign of degradation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"article-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/04-184.avif\" alt=\"Why are some masturbators sticky?\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Why are some masturbators sticky?\"><\/figure>\n<p>On some TPEs, a small amount of compatible maintenance powder, applied after drying, helps to regain a drier touch. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.<\/p>\n<h2>Should you store sex toys separately?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, it is a good practice, especially for soft materials.<\/p>\n<p>Some TPEs, flexible plastics and similar materials can react when they stay in contact for a long time. They can stick, become oily or deform.<\/p>\n<p>Keep each product in its own pouch or box, clean and perfectly dry. Also avoid prolonged contact with unknown soft plastic objects.<\/p>\n<h2>Why does a masturbator get fat?<\/h2>\n<p>Not all soft materials have the same behavior. Some TPEs can release oily components from their formulation over time, especially when exposed to heat.<\/p>\n<p>Saying that \u00aball silicones oil\u00bb would be incorrect. A real good quality silicone behaves differently from a very flexible TPE.<\/p>\n<p>If the product becomes heavily oily, gives off a new smell or changes texture, clean it according to the instructions and examine its condition before continuing to use it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"article-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/05-159.avif\" alt=\"Why does a masturbator get fat?\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Why does a masturbator get fat?\"><\/figure>\n<h2>How to limit aging?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Clean after each use.<\/li>\n<li>Let dry completely before storage.<\/li>\n<li>Keep away from sunlight and high temperatures.<\/li>\n<li>Use only a compatible lubricant.<\/li>\n<li>Store soft materials separately.<\/li>\n<li>Use a maintenance powder only if the manufacturer recommends it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The powder can limit the sticky feeling of some TPEs, but it does not repair an already degraded material.<\/p>\n<h2>Can we completely remove the exudation phenomenon?<\/h2>\n<p>Not with a reliable homemade recipe. If a material gradually releases components from its formulation, cleaning can improve the surface but does not change its composition.<\/p>\n<p>When the appearance or smell becomes frankly abnormal, replacing the product is generally more reasonable than trying to restore it with oil, heat or chemicals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/en-gb\/product\/captain-5-suction-10-vibration-vaginal-entrance-simulated-male-masturbator-2\/\" class=\"sd-goods-one sd-product-btn\"><img class=\"sd-gw-img\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/solddolls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/captain-5-succion-10-vibration-entree-vaginale-simulee-masturbateur-homme-01-ace5367e.jpg\" alt=\"Captain \u2013 5 Suction Levels, 10 Vibration Levels, Simulated Vaginal Entry, Male Masturbator\" title=\"Captain \u2013 5 Suction Levels, 10 Vibration Levels, Simulated Vaginal Entry, Male Masturbator\"><span class=\"sd-gw-name\">Captain \u2013 5 suction 10 vibration simulated vaginal entry male masturbator<\/span><span class=\"sd-gw-b\"><span class=\"sd-price\"><em class=\"sd-red\">49,99<\/em><em class=\"sd-euro\">\u20ac<\/em><\/span><\/span><span class=\"sd-g-rbtn\">View product<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Non-electric masturbators exist in silicone, TPE, glass, metal and other materials. None is automatically superior in all areas: the choice depends on the touch, weight, cleaning and type of stimulation sought.<\/p>\n<p>Don't judge just by the price. A clearly identified material, a serious manufacturer, an intact surface and a suitable maintenance are much more useful criteria. And for soft products, separate storage and full drying are two simple habits that actually extend the duration of use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Masturbateurs non \u00e9lectriques : questions fr\u00e9quentes sur les mati\u00e8res, le prix et l\u2019entretien Pr\u00e9ambule Les masturbateurs non \u00e9lectriques regroupent beaucoup plus de produits qu\u2019on ne l\u2019imagine.
