Sex toys are made from all kinds of material these days, ranging from rubber (latex) to a material that is made to feel like real skin.  You need to know how to clean and take care of each product. 

Latex

Latex sex toys are very common as latex is a cheap material to manufacture.  Latex is a rubber product, the same material used in condoms, hence the name "rubbers".  Latex is somewhat porous so you need to take special care in cleaning.  A little soap and water goes a long way in cleaning latex.  Always use "rubbers" if you are sharing sex toys.  Keep in mind that oil based lubes ect do not get along well with your latex sex toys and will destroy them rather quickly.

Jelly

Sex toys made out of jelly, a rubber type product, are quite common in the sex toy industry, mostly, again because of the cost.  Jelly sex toys are very porous so cleaning becomes very important.  It is best to buy a bottle of "sex toy cleaner" specially made for sex toys. 

Silicone

Sex toys made of silicone could be considered the upper class material of sex toys.  Silicone is not very porous and can be easily cleaned with just soap and water.  Silicone can even be thrown in the dishwasher although we sure don't recommend putting anything that runs on batteries in there, it is a little hard on the circuitry. 

Cyberskin

Cyberskin is the ultimate sex toy material.  Cyberskin feels the real skin with its softness and flexibility.  Cyberskin is easy to clean with hot water or a little alcohol on a cloth.

Plastic

Plastic sex toys are quite common as it is relatively inexpensive but can still deliver.  The hard shells can deliver a very solid vibration and is great for clitoral stimulation.  Plastic vibrators are an easy clean up with rubbing alcohol or sex toy cleaner.  Most plastic vibrators are not waterproof so be careful when cleaning with water.

Glass

Yes, there is glass sex toys out there.  Most glass sex toys on the market not easily broken but you still must take extra care of them.  They are easily cleaned with sex toy cleaner and can be boiled or put in the dishwasher.  A word of warning though, if you drop it and chip it, you best throw it out.
