Sil-a-gel is a smooth textured material that has a certain softness to mimic the feel of a penis. While the material composition is semi-porous it is completely anti-bacterial with something as simple as an anti-bacterial adult toy cleaner.

Sil-a-gel is used as a safer alternative to PVC materials and in fact closely related to Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR). Because of this sil-a-gel’s are latex free, and contain no cadmium which has been related to cancer causing cells, and is found in most common PVC compositions. Sil-a-gel is also ensures that your adult toy is completely phthalates free.

The material itself is known to collect dust that clings to the product, but warm water and some mild soap can remove this - or pre-emptively solve the situation by using a condom with any dildo or dong.

As for Lubricant types, a water-based lubricant, and silicone-based lubricants can be used with this type of material. While not as safe a material as silicone when sharing, sil-a-gel provides the perfect medium between personal safety (use a condom when sharing) and pricing (less expensive alternative to silicone material sex toys).
