AquaGel
is a trademarked name for some adult toys made of jelly rubber.
Jelly rubber is made of poly vinyl chloride with added softening
agents.
Example
Jelly toys come in a variety of colors. They are smooth with a
tacky feel and typically have a strong rubber odor and taste.
Allergy
Or Toxin Warnings
Some Jelly rubber toys may contain phthalates,
which is a chemical used to soften plastics that has been shown
to be linked to several environmental and individual health issues.
If you are
considering purchasing a jelly sex toy, we recommend checking
with the manufacturer on whether or not the product is free of
phthalates or purchasing from a store such as Holistic Wisdom,
Inc. that is committed to offering only nontoxic
sexual products.
Jelly
rubber is also very porous and can easily harbor bacteria. We
highly recommend using a condom whenever using a jelly rubber
sex toy to eliminate risk of spreading possible infection or disease.
Cleaning
Recommendations
Dishwashing
liquid soaps are too harsh for this type of toy and alcohol will
dissolve it. Antibacterial sex
toy cleaners are
recommended for cleaning adult toys made of jelly rubber.
It is possible
to spread infection or disease with a sex toy that has not been
sterilized, even if it has been washed. We recommend the use of
condoms with sex toys that cannot be sterilized such as toys made
of jelly rubber.
We highly
recommend storing Jelly items in a storage/separation
bag or wrapped in thin material, as the porous surface can
absorb anything it comes in contact with. Also, toys made of jelly
rubber may melt if they come in contact with other jelly toys
or toys of another material.
Lubricants
Waterbased only.
