Do Silicone Toys "Melt" During Contact?

I'm kind of new to the sex toy world and sex toy storage - and want to make sure my toys stay safe!

Do silicone toys really "melt" if they touch one another for too long?

Currently, I have all my silicone toys in one bin, touching each other. I haven't had a problem, but I've heard it might be an issue.

Does anyone have experience with this? Is there a better way to store - like keeping them in plastic baggies or wrapped up?

Thank you!!

Insightful topic debates on Silicone Dildo:

Do you flame test silicone toys?
I got this question looking at another thread. How many of you do the flame test on your silicone toys?

For those that don't know that flame test.

Never had silicone! Suggestions?
I want to get both a silicone dildo and vibrator. The toys I have had I. The past have been made from other materials and I would like to try...

Is it ok to use silicone lube on a toy thats very high grade silicone?
I've been hearing mixed things. I imagine there's a split on the issue.

Rubber v TPR v Silicone
Which one do you like best and why?

Cleaning silicone toys by boiling...

My silicone toys have never experienced that either, probably because they're all made with premium 100% silicone.

For people who are not so sure about their silicone toys' material quality, storing the toys individually in plastic ziplock bags is the easiest way to keep them safe.

The quality of the silicone makes a difference in how well they will hold up, that's for sure. Some blends or less than premium silicone will melt on contact.

Some toys say silicone, but they aren't all silicone. Thus its good to be cautious storing silicone toys together since if they aren't entirely silicone they'll try to bond to each other (causing an icky, tacky texture and "melting" effect.) If a toy is made of 100% silicone they can touch other toys of that sort. If not, they can be kept separate by keeping them in a plastic baggies as Rossie says.

Brands like LELO, Tantus, and Fun Factory tend to have trustworthy 100% silicone products (As well as Evolved silicone vibrator enhancers). Vixskin is good silicone too, but I recall reading that vixskin silicone doesn't play well with others. Something about the soft type material. I forget all the details of that though.

Silicone lubes should generally be avoided for silicone toys though. Lubricated condoms should also avoid being used on silicone toys as they might have silicone lube in the ingredients. Certain silicone lubes are fine I hear, but I think it's easier to just use water based.
