Dildos
Dildos are an extremely popular sex toy. They can be made with phallic design that looks and feels like a realistic penis or they can be made with a non-phallic ergonomical design that works for pinpoint stimulation of the G-Spot and/or A-Spot.

Flexible Dildos
There are dildos made with a flexible structure. They can be made with material like silicone, rubber and jelly.
Rubber And Jelly Materials
In the past dildos were mass produced and were made out of rubber and jelly materials that contained phthalates which are toxic for the body. Phthalate was used to make the dildo soft, clear and flexible, which is what people wanted at the time. Phthalate was also responsible for the slow disintegration of the toy.
UR3 Materials
Sex toy manufacturers then used UR3 materials to make dildos. UR3 is the same kind of materials used in masturbators. It is prized for their softness, but the issue with this material is that it is porous. Then silicone dildos came along. Durable, hygienic, and strong these dildos were the new kings of dildos, but they were still too hard and rigid. The demand was simple, more realistic but still hygienic and durable.
