TPR silicone toy 'melts' when stored against jelly toys?

Contributor: Shelli Shelli
I went into my bag of goodies the other day to find that my favorite toy, Cupid Kiss link made of TPR silicone had melded/melted in a couple of spots where it had been leaning against a jelly toy. I'm assuming that this is normal and I just didn't know about it, or I would have kept the toy separate.

Why does this happen and are there any other materials toys are made of that I should beware of setting against each other?

Constructive discussions on Silicone vibrators:

Which silicone dual stimulator do you prefer (ignoring the difference in price, please)?
I am trying to decide between these two and I'm having a hard time. I appreciate your input!

Which lube is best? Silicone or water based?
I would choose a hybrid

Would the posh silicone O balls be a good choice for a first set of kegel balls?
they are cheap enough where they won't kill my budget if I don't like them and i think they would be a good introduction to kegal toys.

Rock Star Tina or Silicone Bliss?
I'm looking at this toy, or evolved's fleur de lis silicone bliss. I've compared the two , and read the reviews, but am interested in brand quality..

Compared to the silicone version
How would this compare to the silicone version? I love the latter, but of course it's not useful with silicone toys, and can get a bit messy as it can

Jelly and jelly like toys can potentially ruin anything. Lol.

Really, anything that's not 100% silicone, metal, wood, plastic or glass should go in a separate baggy of some sort.

If you save all your mismatched socks they make great toy savers.

Well the truth is that anything that is soft or squishy will attack another of its kind. I think it is a war of the toys! I always put mine either back in the packaging it came in or in a plastic ziploc.

Silicone toys can usually be stored next to each other no problem (the exception might be the very soft real-feel silicones), and hard plastic toys can go next to each other. Jellies,TPR/TPE, and other unidentified squishy stuff should be isolated, and metal/ceramic/glass, while not meltable, can scratch or chip when clunked together so it's best to be careful.

I used to do that for my jelly and TPR toys, except my socks all produce fuzz, so there was a need for washing it off every time I wanted to use those toys. Then I decided to throw most of them out when I moved. Problem solved

In all seriousness, though, socks and plastic baggies/satchels are great ways to protect your toys from meltage.

Just like everyone else says, putting your toys in separate baggies really helps. I just use various sized clip-lock ones and write the name of the toy on them. It satisfies my need for order and labelling and keeps them lint/reaction free.

Thanks for the info everyone. I already keep my glass toys in socks to protect the glass, but I think I'll keep my other toys in ziplocks so that they don't get the fuzzies, not to mention, I'll be able to tell which is which without having to take them out of their protection.
