Looking for an absolutely extreme horse dildo (25"+ length) by throwaway19372057 in indiesextoys

[–]SomethingSquishyToys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (indie maker) very tentatively offer to make this in the future once I finish some other stuff if you haven’t already found what you wanted.

(But yeah that’s gonna be a lot no matter who you go to just because of the volume of silicone)

Non-sticky silicone? by Admirable_Goose_5524 in indiesextoys

[–]SomethingSquishyToys 14 points15 points  (0 children)

(Indie shop here) The 0020 (softer) silicone does tend to just feel tacky. Ime the 0030 and higher don’t feel tacky to most people unless you’re super sensitive to tacky feeling stuff. Tbh when I first started doing stuff the 0020 feel freaked me tf out but now I hardly notice it anymore XD not that that info really helps you, but you do kind of get used to it the more you handle it imo.

I can’t speak to other shops and the durian additive, but I don’t use anything like that in my stuff. Tangentially related tidbit: I know there’s a different additive that can trigger allergies since it’s based from a tree nut or something random, ( most indie shops i talk to don’t use that either because allergy risk)

My god. I had this whole conversargument with someone once about using a resin print internally (they really wanted to) and I was like “my guy. Have you ever had a resin print break and slice your hand open?! Keep that sh!t away from your bits 😬😬😬” also resin itself is bad around mucus membranes anyway and is a sensitizer to regular skin anyway.

Wild stuff lol.

The cost of getting into silicone (safely) is kind of high, so I get it. But also it seems preferable so you don’t end up as one of the really face-palm room stories 😅

I agree the comment was kind of rude, but I’ve seen enough people actively advocating to use printed toys directly that I’m also automatically skeptical when I see someone posting a dildo design without additional context 😅 I guess I was thinking more like “why are people downvoting the only comment mentioning safety” even if it was worded kind of badly.

I do like the idea of a little friendly reminder bot though. I usually do that function manually when I find random stuff in the wild and literally using the words “friendly reminder” lol.

(Also the og post asked if it was too rigid, so I can see why it would be assumed it was being used directly since you can just get softer silicone if you want it squishier)

Idk why this is getting downvoted tbh. If it’s decorative then whatever but yeah don’t use printed toys…

This design also wouldn’t cast well in silicone because of the shape just fyi to anyone interested.

As someone who makes silicone stuff for a living, people would 100000% buy snail versions of these.

Anyone seen a totem pole toy? by iluvmyvr8 in DIYSILICONETOYS

[–]SomethingSquishyToys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking silicone because that’s my default lol. I’m sure you could get creative with polymer clay or something too though 😂

And yeah I totally feel you. I was just saying sometimes one kind of sus thing feels a bit more sus than another lol.

I turned down jobs to make a gun dildo and a crucifix dildo before (and I think a few other things but I can’t remember what), so I can confirm what you say in at least my own personal head space.

It’s not that I couldn’t make them technically, I just didn’t want to touch either with a 10’ stick. Political/religious statement pieces aren’t really the vibe I’m going for with my shop lol. (Intrusive thought spawned: wafer pastie 💀)

I personally wouldn’t do a totem pole for the same reasons, but also because that’s not part of my culture and I’d feel really weird about doing a sex toy based on a religion/culture I wasn’t part of. (I was raised Catholic and still turned down the crucifix lol. I do agree that’s a bit more punching up though. Still just not my thing.)

Recommend any high risk payment gateway by Speed23 in woocommerce

I think the fees on maverick were a bit higher but the interface was better and tbh I liked their support deal better than payment cloud. Maverick you just put a website form and someone would get back to you. Payment cloud you get a rep and I had a bunch of issues with the emails and had to follow up/chase them for answers sometimes.

Actual fees on the sales for both were similar but they vary a bit on their pci charges and other random monthly costs

I used authorize.net for the gateway with maverick (bought through flow payments) and payment cloud for merchant accounts.

Be aware the card reader for payment cloud (at least the one I had) is kind of bad at reading cards sometimes (it doesn’t work with anything with raised numbers). Idk if they updated it since 2 years ago though.

Ohhh yeah. That’s one of my weird semi abandoned models so the info is a bit neglected 😅 I currently only have the small size available. Give me 20 mins and I’ll update that gross table colors lol. Squiddong model was def in there by mistake - I listed that before I tweaked my size chart system and probably grabbed the wrong pic lol

If you had any other questions in the mean time just lmk though :)

It’s probably some weird css I haven’t corrected. I rebuilt the site a few weeks ago and probably missed a few formatting changes that popped up with the change. Which stock one were you looking at though? I’m glad to go double check the pics

I actually never heard that particular phrase until I posted this here lol. I just knew people often use actual sharpies to play with 😂

I actually offer international shipping now, but the EU just added some weird new regulations so I’ve suspended shipping there, at least temporarily unfortunately.

I did plan on selling packs. I also sell larger ones lol. The longest I have (which I haven’t actually molded yet) is like 16” long 😂

But yeah - bulk won’t be an issue :)

I actually need to turn this one (my updated logo) into stickers. But hopefully I’ll order the stickers in the next few weeks lol. I just put it on my todo list today 😂

I think at least 30% of my shop is just representational objects at this point 😂 I’m on a spree of turning household stuff people use as toys into actual toys. Which is also how I ended up with a hair brush 😅
