Sex dolls, particularly those with advanced features, must adhere to specific safety standards to protect consumers. The following safety features are often legally required by various national and international regulations:
- Non-Toxic Materials: All sex dolls should be made from body-safe, non-toxic materials to avoid allergic reactions or skin irritation. Materials like silicone or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) are typically used for their hypoallergenic properties and durability.
- Durable Construction: Safety regulations mandate that dolls be structurally sound, with sturdy joints, secure internal mechanisms, and safe attachment points for limbs or other parts. Dolls that are poorly constructed could pose injury risks.
- Hygiene Standards: Dolls must be easy to clean and sanitize, particularly in areas exposed to bodily fluids. Clear cleaning instructions should be provided, and dolls should be designed to prevent bacteria or mold growth in hard-to-reach areas.
- Electrical Safety: For dolls with smart features or electronics, manufacturers are required to meet electrical safety standards to prevent electrical shocks or malfunctions. These dolls should be insulated properly to prevent short circuits and should be water-resistant to avoid damage.
By meeting these legal safety standards, manufacturers can ensure their products are safe for consumers and reduce the risk of liability claims.
