Which brand has the best Silicone?

Contributor: JustYourAverageGuy JustYourAverageGuy
I have noticed that the silicone texture and feel varies from brand to brand, so I ask, which brand has the best overall silicone?

And why? What do you enjoy about it?

I love all of Tantus' products, but the O2 material is just fantastic. Soft yet firm with some give... oh man!

But Tantus' normal silicone is great too... always smooth but not too hard, has some give.

I also like Fun Factory's velvety feel. It's so soft!

So hard to choose just one....

I prefer the drag on the more matte silicon to the slick feeling.

I voted for the Fun Factory because we love their Tiger didlo. It's a heavily textured silicone but isn't too hard. The textures have the advertised stimulating effect without being harsh on delicate tissues. It's very easy to clean and works well with the vegetable-butter based lubes that we prefer.

I also voted for the Tantus O2. The O2 Revolution is very 'girthy' and would be impossible for my wife to enjoy in classical silicone. The firm inner core of the O2 line makes penetration easy - but the soft exterior makes it comfortable for my wife when inserted - especially when going deep and the soft tip can stimulate her a-spot and cervix without causing pain - like harder silicone can.

I love Fun Factory silicone vibes for their density, thuddy vibrations and matteness. I love Vixen Vixskin silicone for its amazing, amazing realness.

It depends on what you want. Tantus makes the best smooth surfaced silicone, and it tends to be a bit firmer. Vixen's regular silicone is the softest/squishiest of the ones I've tried, so if you like the squish feeling or want big toys go for that. Fun Factory's silicone is a little softer than Tantus' has a nice matte surface, and has nice additional features like comfortable base/handles and strongly integrated suction cups (on some toys). Sadly, I can't speak for the real-feels yet.

Happy Valley and Ophoria tend towards the stiff end. Ophoria tends to have some mold lines, haven't noticed any mold lines in FF, Tantus, Vixen, or Happy Valley.

My JeJoue has a silicone layer but is not solid silicone so I can't compare productively, It is very well designed and made. Rocks Off's products also tend to be specialized.

I vote for Tantus' toys overall. I have many of their silicone dildos and have a hard time accepting silicone from anybody else!

But I really do love the silicone on Lelo's vibrators, which feels super-silky to me.

I haven't tried silicone from all the brands listed, so my vote is a little biased.

I have the LELO Iris and I Love the way it feels. The silicone feels velvety and silky to touch...nice

We haven't tried toys of every brand on the list, but of the ones we have tried, I'd say tantus and LELO. Both are different, but both have their place with various toys for that specific texture, density, etc.

I'm wondering if there's anyone whose tried vixskin who voted for something else. For me there's no comparison.

It's good, but I won't stop liking the silicone from Fun Factory or Tantus because I tried Vixskin. I like them all.

So true - good silicone is always nice. I need to try O2 of VixSkin now...

I haven't tried all of these so I couldn't say for sure which one is my favorite out of all of them BUT I have tried Tantus, Happy Valley, Vixen creations and LELO and out of these my favorite so far is LELO!

LELO silicone is surprisingly so lustrously velvety. I never knew velvety until I felt their silicone toys. I am totally devoted to LELO now!

I think that for anal or vaginal penetration my choices vary.

So physical touch with hand I vote LELO
Anal I vote Tantus
Vaginal Penetration I vote Vixen creations

I'd go with anything Tantus, because I trust their Ryder butt plug the best.

I really enjoy SinFive's silicone because it is antimicrobial.

For my Other Vote- Whipspider. The Screw Royal has the most luxuriously plush silicone I've felt.

I refuse to choose between Fun Factory and Tantus, both of which are awesome. And Whipspider is wonderful.

Yikes - as someone who hasn't experienced much with silicone toys, I didn't even consider the differences. But I guess I'll find out this coming week. I just ordered silicone toys from Fun Factory, Nomi Tang, Mantric and TPR/silicone from Cal Exotics.
I've GOT to try VixSkin!

I voted other just because as SocttA noted above it really depends on what your looking for.

LELO silicone is ... more
I concur with your choices but the Happy Valley silicone is awesome both for vaginal and anal play. But, I love them all.......

The Vixen Astro looks like it would be scary at first, but with their soft silicone it feels great, even anally.

I chose Vixen, because they have the softest, most realistic silicone dildos I've tried.

My Happy Valley toy is really good quality. Nice and firm, and absolutely no casting lines.
