Hey everyone.
I am trying to get into manufacturing silicone sex toys. I have a number of super-cool clay models sitting in limbo because I haven't been able to track down a suitable silicone for them. Is there anyone out there that has some knowledge of this? I want to use the safest material that is feasible, but there are such a variety of silicones out there that I am a bit overwhelmed by the options. There's basic silicone, platinum, USP Class VI, implant under 30 days, over 30 days, etc etc. Which is best for toys? Obviously some of these are prohibitively expensive; there must be a happy medium where sex toy safety is excellent and the cost is manageable. Any idea where to get the silicone???
I'm also concerned about the pigments. Which are okay to use without compromising the safety of the toy? Are molds also made from silicone, or is it acceptable to use another material, such as alginate or something similar?
Lots of questions, I know. I just don't want to put anything out there that is not safe. I've already tried contacting other manufacturers, silicone companies, etc, but haven't had much luck. Anyone have any advice?
