Sex Toy Material: UR3 (Ultra Realistic)

Ultra Realistic 3.0 (UR3)
UR3 is a trademarked name for line of sex toys made of a variation of soft thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a mixture of polyvinyl chloride and silicone.
TPE is a thermoplastic polymer blend that can be manufactured into a range of textures. TPE has many other uses as well. Some examples are automobile airbag covers, yoga mats and medical catheters.
Allergy Or Toxin Warnings
UR3 material is hypoallergenic and phthalate free.
Cleaning Recommendations
UR3 is extremely porous and should be cleaned between each use with warm water and soap or anti bacterial sex toy cleaner. Once dry, sprinkle with the included "renewing" powder or cornstarch. Never use talcum powder or baby powder, as these can cause irritation and sometimes larger problems for women. Corn starch and a soft cloth may also be used to bring the toy back to life. (Talcum powder has been implicated as a possible cause of ovarian cancer.)
We highly recommend storing UR3 items in a storage/separation bag or wrapped in thin material, as the porous surface can absorb anything it comes in contact with. It is also recommended that you store UR3 toys in a cool, dark place.
Lubricant
Use only water based lubricants with UR3. Silicone or petroleum based oils will damage this material. We also recommend using a condom with UR3 products, as they easily absorb germs and bacteria due to the porosity of the material.
Recycling Level
TPE is recyclable and is much more eco-friendly production than latex and rubber.
