Better Sex Tech
Did you know that the oldest known dildo is over 25,000 years old? Yes, humans have been enhancing their sexual experiences with toys and accessories for centuries! But have you ever wondered how sex toys have improved over time? Well, we’re here to answer your question with some of the top benefits of modern sex toys. These designs have come a long way from the Vindolanda wooden phallus, and they have a lot to offer for those looking to enhance their pleasure in the modern world.
Follow along as our experts show you what kind of sex tech you can expect from contemporary adult toys for women, men, and couples.
1. Body-Safe Materials
While there are a variety of materials used in adult toys, the advent of body-safe materials has been a game changer. Many people are allergic to materials found in some sex toys, including latex, parabens, and phthalates. However, many sex toy manufacturers today prioritize body-safe materials that are non-allergenic, medical-grade, and, most importantly, non-porous.
Hypo-allergenic and non-porous materials are the safest to use and easiest to sanitize. These include:
- Silicone Sex Toys
- Glass or Pyrex Sex Toys
- Stainless Steel Sex Toys
- ABS Plastics for Sex Toys
Silicone is among the highest recommended materials because it mimics the human body best. So, if you want the most realistic possible sex tech, silicone should be your number one choice.
2. Water Resistance
Many modern sex toys include waterproofing or water resistance ratings that make them easier to use in a variety of places and simple to keep clean. Most of the toys in our collection of women’s and men’s sex toys are graded at IPX4 or IPX7.
An IPX rating isn’t purely sex tech — it’s the level of protection any electrical or mechanical device has against water, debris, and dust that could enter the toy and damage it. The IP portion of the rating stands for Ingress Protection, and the number denotes higher levels of protection. This system was put in place to standardize ratings and protect consumers.
Since we mainly use IPX4 and IPX7 ratings, we’ll explain what they mean here:
- IPX4: Your device is protected from splashing water in any direction for up to 10 minutes at a time.
- IPX7: Your device can withstand immersion of up to one meter (about three feet) of water for 30 minutes.
We recommend that you read everything you can about your device to ensure safe usage, cleaning, and storage. Each device comes with a sheet that specifies how to care for your sex toy for the best possible experience.
3. Easy Recharging & Longer Battery Life
For sex tech that utilizes massaging or vibrations, rechargeability and battery life are key, as you want to be able to use your sex toy for as long as you can. Most toys will provide a charging cable that connects to any USB or USB-C port for maximum usability. These toys will also detail how long a toy will take to charge and how long the battery will last once it’s turned on. Generally, advanced adult toys for couples take about an hour to fully charge and have a run time of three hours.

4. More Realistic Sensations
One of the best things about advancing sex tech is how realistic designers can make these toys feel. Whether you’re experimenting with an oral stroker with strong suction and a mouthlike feel or a vibrating dildo that has the same shape and details as a real penis, you can expect more organic sensations from many sex toys. Designers are exploring modular vibrating, thrusting, sucking, squeezing, and stroking sensations that are truly meant to feel like the real thing.
But that’s not all these developments can do! With toys that offer several different levels of intensity, you can completely personalize your experience to fit your needs. Some toys even offer different modes for each of the sensations, with multiple toggles for suction, vibration, and anything else the toy can do.
5. Versatile Configurations
Speaking of personalizing your sex toys, sex tech has come a long way in offering more versatility for all genders and ability levels. Some toys come with extra handles for ergonomic hand placement, some are designed to be hands-free, and some are adjustable to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible with various girth and length options.
Overall, sex toys have become more accessible for everyone, especially the differently abled. Using suction cups to attach your sex toys to nearly any hard surface or modifying the intensity of your toy through an app makes heightening your pleasure easier for all!
