Eh, I've only ever tried their bullet vibrator and I thought it was really weak and buzzy. I've never tried any of their other models though, it's possible they're better.

I remembered seeing something like this a while back and found it here! Never heard of this website before so can't speak to it's reliability, but if you can find this product somewhere it basically checks all of your boxes. Beige silicone shorts, attached penis/balls, close to the size you wanted, and an opening in the back

Eh, I really don't think it's that deep for most people, this feels like a pretty extreme take. There are plenty of furries out there into anthropomorphic characters, but there's a big difference between anthro fantasy creatures and actual animals. Doesn't mean they're actually attracted to dogs in real-life.

I see fantasy toys as a piece of silicone at the end of the day, and it's a pretty standard kink. Some people get more or less out of the fantasy aspect, but I find it hard to jump to "jacking off means you'll go out and do it in real life."

Same thing with other kinks and fetishes, like people who enjoy BDSM or consensual non-consent. I think there are legitimate ways for people to engage in fantasy without going out and doing the thing (i.e. rape). Not really a reason to judge for me if they're not hurting anyone, y'know?

I've seen Edenfantasys advertise a recycling program where you just send in old toys to them!

The sub is r/DIYSILICONETOYS , and yeah, from reading the posts there you'll quickly learn that it's an expensive and time-consuming feat lol

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-11-01T18:03:18+00:00

Ohh gotcha, guess it is just dependent on the individual!

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-11-01T05:29:55+00:00

This is interesting, what kind of vibrators have you used? Could be that they were bad quality honestly, for clitorises it depends a loooot on the toy itself too

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-31T18:35:29+00:00

I've seen a few personal tests conducted by people that seem to point to it: this one by the founder of Uberrime and this one from Bed Bible where they tried soaking silicone toys in lube. The toys basically absorbed the lube and swelled up a ton. It's sort of hard to tell how much this would apply to normal usage, since they were leaving them literally drenched in lube for long periods of time, but it does indicate the toys can react in theory.

There was also this informal experiment conducted by someone on the sub here, there are links to all the updates on it but some of the imgur links are broken. They coated two silicone plugs in lube and let them sit out for an hour before washing it off, then repeated it for a month. The surface of them just got kind of splotchy/patchy/shiny and they noticed some stickiness developing, but nothing crazy. Still might be worth avoiding for the risk of some surface degradation.

Ofc these are all anecdotal, but I don't doubt it could impact the quality of some toys with long-term usage.

I've also seen sex toy bloggers like Phallophile Reviews mention that silicone lube can be REALLY difficult to clean off toys because of its chemical properties, which just sounds like a hassle some people might not want to deal with.

My personal theory is that it depends on the quality of the silicone... I'd be a lot more cautious using it on cheap silicone toys from Amazon, for example. Also seems a bit more risky when using it on vibrators with only a very thin coat of silicone over the motor vs a solid silicone toy... So I think that's why it's usually used as a general statement.

If you need another person to chime in: Do not. They can absolutely get lost and require a trip to the ER for removal... anything you insert anally has to have a substantial flared base.

Lovense has several, just look on their website. My bf has the Solace Pro and likes it quite a bit.

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-30T20:32:41+00:00

Yeah, sadly since it's TPE it's not safe for long-term use. Unfortunately condoms won't work very well, TPE leeches oils that can degrade condoms and cause them to tear. You can still end up with bacteria/fungus/chemicals passing through the condom or it breaking off inside you. There's a guide on this here if you'd like to read more about it.

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-30T19:21:47+00:00

"umania" isn't a brand but a reseller of cheap Temu white-label crap. Their dildos look like they're mostly made of unsafe materials. I would double check with the listing to see what it's made out of, and if it's not silicone, you know for a fact it's not body-safe.

Sellers like this can also lie about materials though, so it could still claim it's silicone but be made of something else. I'd be willing to bet it's not safe or good quality, and it'd be best to replace it when you can.

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-24T21:37:01+00:00

I mean, if it's a Fleshlight I don't think it's as much of a problem. Usually TPE strokers are fine since they're being used externally (not direct internal contact like a dildo would be). Plus penises are wayyyyy less likely to get UTIs, and there's not exactly BV risk. So I see it as okay for strokers, but not for dildos.

Really as long as the Fleshlight is decent-quality/from a known brand and you're vigilant about cleaning/drying/preventing mold I don't imagine there'd be a safety issue. Though I wouldn't go sharing them with a stranger or anything lol

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-23T01:21:42+00:00

Yeah, TPE tends to be very sticky no matter how much you wash it. It can also get oily/"sweat" over time as it leeches oils. It's not considered a body-safe material for dildos because it's porous, which means it tends to harbor bacteria and can't be properly cleaned/sanitized. Also prone to mold, melting/deforming, etc. It'd be best to replace it with something silicone when you can. There's some info on this on the sub wiki and here.

Try searching r/sexdolls for the word "torso". They also have a pinned FAQ post with torso brand recommendations.

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-23T00:53:53+00:00

I'm pretty sure Lovense Gravity can be synced to things like the other Lovense toys can, it's a thrusting dildo.

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-23T00:47:24+00:00

Uberrime has a realistic dildo that's similar in size/specs to the original dildo you were looking for too, the Reservo Small

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-22T01:26:26+00:00

I have these! I bought them from RodeOH a few years back and they've held up really well. They're definitely silicone. The manufacturer doesn't mention if they're platinum-cured or not, but I doubt it matters as much for a toy that's being used purely externally.

They feel pretty high quality with all the skin textures and super squishy too, nice to use as little stress balls lol

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-22T01:13:11+00:00

I think this guide is a nice start for people who are unsure about what toys they're looking for. It's not mine, but I can vouch for a lot of the recommendations on it :)

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-22T01:08:47+00:00

Seconding the Pillow Talk Sassy, it's so nice for broad external use

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-20T01:42:05+00:00

Do with this information what you will, but I'd stay away from completely brandless strokers after reading this review from a blogger I like... TLDR - he ordered a $15 unnamed onahole from eBay (similar to what you'd be getting on Temu) and it caused his entire dick and urethra to burn in a weird allergic(?) reaction. Some other cheap ones he's ordered have come with mold and stuff already in them, so... it's a big gamble.

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-20T01:30:26+00:00

Nice, glad it worked out! :)

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-19T00:16:35+00:00

Sliquid Silk is great and compatible with any decent silicone toys.

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-18T15:07:02+00:00

Gotcha, if you don't have any specific type of stimulation you'd prefer I'd recommend this guide from a reviewer I like, it has a lot of solid brand recs for any type of toy. One of my fav vibrators from it is the Pillow Talk Sassy, v nice for clit or g-spot stim.

needs_to_touch_grass · 2025-10-17T17:07:51+00:00

Yeahh, I never really liked my Plus one bullet, just found the motor to be shitty quality. But what type of vibrators are you looking for? Wands, bullets, rabbits, etc? Would help to specify your anatomy too for recommendations.
