FAQ and General Info

What Materials Go Into Lush Craft Toys?

Every Lush Craft toy is lovingly handmade from 100% platinum-cure silicone—the gold standard for soft, high-quality adult toys. We use only the best: Ecoflex and Dragonskin silicones from Smooth-On. If you’d like to see the Material Safety Data Sheets, just ask!

Since there aren’t strict rules in the adult toy industry, we take it upon ourselves to ensure top-notch quality and safety. We work closely with independent makers and our community to keep our standards high, even without official oversight.

Unlike mass-produced toys made from cheaper stuff like jelly rubber or vinyl (which are sometimes wrongly called “silicone” and can smell funky, break down quickly, or trap germs), our platinum silicone is non-porous, scent-free, body-safe, tough, and easy to sterilise. Plus, it feels soft and skin-like!

How Are Lush Craft Toys Made?

It all starts with a sketch, which becomes a digital sculpture and then a 3D-printed prototype. Once the print is smoothed out, we make a strong silicone mould.

We hand-pour each toy using a two-part, coloured platinum silicone blend (Ecoflex or Dragonskin), and vacuum out any bubbles for a flawless finish. Our wild pouring techniques create one-of-a-kind swirls and patterns, so every Lush Craft toy is a little work of art.

After curing, each toy gets a thorough clean with boiling water and soap, a scrub with alcohol, and is then carefully packaged for you.

What About Pigments?

We use only body-safe colourants, like cosmetic-grade mica powders and pigments made especially for platinum silicone. All our pigments come from trusted suppliers, and we’re happy to share Material Safety Data Sheets if you want them.

How Do I Choose the Right Firmness?

Our toys are available in Soft, Medium, and Firm, which match these Shore hardness ratings:

  • Soft – Shore OO30

  • Medium – Shore OO50

  • Firm – Shore A10

Bigger toys might feel a bit firmer, and some of our Super Soft or Soft options might not stand up on their own—but they’re still super fun to use! We always mention this in the product details.

How Should I Care for My Lush Craft Toy?

To keep your toy in great shape:

  • Wash with warm water and antibacterial soap before and after each use.

  • While we pre-boil new toys, try not to boil them too often, as it can make the silicone firmer over time.

  • Stick to water-based lubricants—silicone-based lubes can damage platinum silicone.

  • Pay extra attention to cleaning textured spots to keep them fresh.

  • Store your toy away from non-silicone items, and wash fabric storage bags before use to prevent stains or damage.

  • Keep toys off porous surfaces like untreated wood or cardboard, especially if they’re on the softer side and might release oils.

  • Don’t put heavy things on top of your toy, and handle gently to avoid any rips or nicks.
