Flame Testing "Silicone" Toys: My video & explanation post
I've been working for awhile now on a post & video that talks about flame testing (the hows and whys) but it was moved to the forefront recently when.

Silicone lovers: Do you flame test on brands you're unsure about?
What do you do when you're unsure whether that toy you just bought is really silicone, or just a faker?

A question about silicone dildos...
I have been reading dildo reviews this morning, mostly vixskin ones. I noticed many reviewers suggesting that they can be washed in the dishwasher if

Will some of the larger Doc Johnson dildos ever be made in silicone? Rubber and PVC aren't as safe or durable as silicone yet various toys such as the

never heard of this?

I only have one silicone toy so far so I don't have any stories but I do know there have been a few contributors who have sacrificed cheaper silicone toys in the name of science. I don't remember who did it but they kept some less expensive silicone toys together to see what happened.

I think it's more of a precaution, really. Something COULD happen to the silicone if it's touching for a while so it's better to keep them apart just in case.

I make a real effort to keep our silicone toys from touching in their drawer. I alternate silicone with glass and steel toys to make sure they stay separated. the silicone is too expensive to take a chance on damage from careless handling.

I've only tested this with Tantus toys, but my understanding is that high-quality silicone won't melt, leach colors, or whatever. I have a drawerful of Tantus prototypes, all jumbled together, in my office and they've been there for ages with no issues.

I also had someone ask if she put a Tantus Stroker on a Tantus Feeldoe (to make it girthier) would the silicone-on-silicone cause problems? So I tested that out too. Even the supersoft silicone had zero problems after months of testing.

Silicone composites, TPR, TPE, jelly, etc., will melt each other and will also melt pure silicone. Pure silicone won't melt pure silicone.

Pure silicone has no problems. I've stored my toys (silicone, glass, plastic and metal) together in a box for about 10 years with no problems.

You do need to keep it from physical damage (tears, cutting), especially if it's soft silicone.
