  • What are these toys?
    • We make handcrafted silicone toys, made from body-safe materials including platinum grade silicone and skin-safe pigments. Toys are designed for insertion, penetration, rubbing, grinding, or stim play depending on the model functionality. Use your best judgment. Shop is not responsible for any harm or damages due to the use of these toys. 
  • When will X Model be back in stock? What is a DROP?
    • Our premade inventory is restocked on a "drop" style basis, approximately once per month, with the date and time announced in advance on our twitter page, and website front page. Items may sell out very quickly, within seconds at times. We recommend preloading ShopPay information and checking out directly from the item page for the best chance at catching a drop item. 
  • Do you combine shipping?
    • All purchases to the same address and name made withing 24hrs of drop time will be auto-combined with partial shipping refunded accordingly. Message us for additional order adjustments including shipping address changes. 
  • Do you offer customs?
    • Made-to-order (MTO) items can be found on our Customs tab, when available. These customs open on a rolling basis as orders are filled and have a full pallet of colors to choose from.
    • DELUXE Guided Customs are limited, specialty made to order customs, poured with full artistic liberty (no lineart or detailed color requests) based on your inspiration photos. These include full hand painting, uv and glow in the dark pigments as allowed by the model and inspiration colors, with optional up-charge for Near Clear firmness. Follow our twitter for announcements for when these slots will be available. 
    • Several of our models are shared with our friend Colorful-Cook. Due to our unique pour styles, we are not accepting custom requests to duplicate pours or handpainting done by Colorful-Cook

Toy Care:

  • Toys may be washed with a toy cleaner, or mild soap. Sanitize by boiling, or soak in a dilute bleach solution.
  • Do not store toys in contact with non-platinum grade silicone, as it may degrade the surface of the toy.
  • Use ONLY water-based and toy-safe lubricants.
  • Store out of direct sunlight, as some pigments may fade with extended UV exposure.
  • Near Clear firmness are prone to clouding and yellowing in exposure to extended use of high heat, UV, or chlorine. It is recommended to limit exposure to these elements to preserve the visuals of these toys. 
  • Gummy Soft (00-10) firmness is more delicate and may take on textures of surfaces or toys during storage. Stock items may have scuffs on the base from demolding. These textures can be reduced by gently massaging during washing of the toys.
