Frequently Asked Questions

What's so great about silicone that I should pay more?

Silicone is a non-porous material, making it one of the safest materials to use on and in the body. Its hypo allergenic and ultra hygienic properties are what make it the only trusted material approved by the medical industry. Unlike soft or hard porous plastic materials that are derived from oil, silicone keeps bacteria at bay and is very easy to clean. Silicone is also a natural conductor of vibrations by virtue and warms quickly to body temperature, making it ideal for intimate pleasures. Silicone is also extremely durable, making it a long lasting bedroom accessory. So, whether you're a health conscious consumer or not, OPHORIA toys are an investment in your health as well as your sexual wellness.

Are there material differences between silicone toys?

Yes, there are varying grades of silicone. All OPHORIA toys are made from 100% pure Japanese silicone, the best and highest quality found in the world. Our products are also rigorously tested by a global leading quality assurance company to ensure consumer safety. Beware of imitation toys that can't substantiate silicone claims.

Are OPHORIA toys medical grade?

OPHORIA toys are made from medical grade silicone but are not manufactured in a medical grade facility. This means that the materials used are accredited as medical grade but the manufacturing process is not. Currently, there are no adult toys in the marketplace that can claim "medical grade" manufacturing practices. If they do, be sure to ask for substantiated documentation that shows that the product is made in a medical grade facility accredited by the FDA or equivalent governing body.

What is the best way to clean my silicone toy?

Simply clean well with mild soap and warm water, then let it air dry. If the toy has no battery component, you can even boil the silicone in water as a means to disinfect completely. Do not use a cleaning agent or an abrasive brush, as it will damage the surface of the material.

I just opened my toy and it has an odor — is this normal?

Part of the silicone manufacturing process includes a curing or "cooking" stage at the end. When the toy is placed inside the plastic clamshell for packaging the odor is sometimes trapped. Wash the toy with mild soap and water and leave out in the open for several days. You will find that the smell disappears.
