Private Touch is a trademarked name for a variation of softened thermoplastic elastomer, a blend of polyvinyl chloride and silicone and other chemicals. Private Touch is similar to Cyberskin in texture and feel but may contain phthalates, a chemical blend used for softening.

Example

Some adult toys are made from Private Touch material.

TPE has many other uses as well. Some examples include automobile airbag covers, yoga mats and medical catheters.

Allergy Or Toxin Warnings

Private Touch may not be phthalate free.

f you are considering purchasing a Private Touch 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.

This material is the most porous of all sex toy materials, therefore it easily harbors bacteria and cannot be sterilized. We recommend using a condom with adult toys made of Private Touch to protect against possible exposure to toxins and bacteria.

Cleaning Recommendations

Private Touch is extremely porous and should be cleaned between each use with warm water and mild soap or antibacterial sex toy cleaners.

Once dry, sprinkle with the included "renewing" powder or cornstarch. Never use talcum powder or baby powder, as these can cause irritation and sometimes larger problems for women. Corn starch and a soft cloth may also be used to bring the toy back to life. (Talcum powder has been implicated as a possible cause of ovarian cancer.)

This material is very porous, therefore easily harbors bacteria and cannot be sterilized. We suggest condom use with any product made of Private Touch material.

We highly recommend storing items made of Private Touch in a storage/separation bag or wrapped in thin material, as the porous surface can absorb anything it comes in contact with. It is also recommended that you store Private Touch toys in a cool, dark place.

Lubricants

Waterbased only. Silicone or oil base lubricants will damage this material. We also recommend using a condom with Private Touch products, as they easily absorb germs and bacteria due to the high porosity of the material.
