degree of hardness

Every toy is available in three degrees of hardness, to meet your requirements. No other producer of sex - toys can offer you that!

You want a affectionate toy, a very soft one? = variety 7
You want a soft one, but also with a bit hardness? = variety 13
You want a pleasent hard toy? = variety 20

Recommandations are not easy to say – maybe a hint: the more you buy bigger toys the more you need a lower degree of hardness.

Important: Everybody feels the degree of hardness otherwise. Maybe you should test all of them. If you want to be sure and want to compare materials with each other, there exist the way of measured value and assessments. How does that work with pliable materials??

Albert Shore gave one possibility – this method was named for him. The malleabiltiy of materials highly depends on temperature – it`s known by metal. That`s why all measurements must be done around a temperature of 73,4 F. An impassive needle is put down upon the surface – this needle has clearly defined properties, for example a lenght of 15s with 12,5N (32,1 oz). Now the needle gets push into the material. The way will be measured and compared with a existing list of Albert Shore.

For example:

0 mm of the depth = 100 Shore until 2.5mm of the depth = 0 Shore.

Because of that silicone for example with a Shore of 20 is harder then a Shore of 7.

If it`s difficult for you to decide, you can see below a hint – so you can`t miss!

Cucumber: very soft/7
Curved banana: soft/13
External banana: soft/13
Carrot: hard/20
Gherkin: very soft/7
Corncob: very soft/7
Aubergine: very soft/7

element „Water“: very soft/7
element „Love“ : soft/13
element „Air“: hard/20

The body of the element „Air“ is really slender – so a degree 20 or 13 isn`t a problem, No worries! However the stability can`t be guaranteed in a degree of 7 – and for some terms thats a important point.
Our element „Water“ has a wide basis, and hold firm also in a degree of 7.

Don`t hesitate to ask me.
