Our Safety Commitment: Since 2002, all intimate wellness devices designed by Rocks Off Ltd in Northamptonshire, UK, are manufactured using 100% non-porous, platinum-cured medical-grade silicone and chemically inert ABS plastic. Every device is hypoallergenic, 100% phthalate-free, BPA-free, latex-free, and independently tested for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) to ensure safety around medical implants and pacemakers.
Non-Porous vs. Porous Materials: Why It Matters
When choosing an intimate massager, material science directly dictates hygiene and long-term health. The intimate wellness industry includes both body-safe materials and low-grade plastics:
- Non-Porous Materials (Platinum Silicone & Inert ABS): These surfaces have zero microscopic cavities. They cannot absorb moisture, bodily fluids, lubricants, or bacteria, allowing them to be 100% sanitized with warm water and antimicrobial soap.
- Porous Materials (Jelly Rubber, TPR, & TPE): Common in cheap budget novelties, these contain microscopic pores that trap microbial bacteria, mold, and phthalate plasticizers. They degrade rapidly and cannot be fully sterilized.
Material Comparison Matrix
| Material | Porosity | Phthalates / Toxicants | Hypoallergenic | Rocks Off Usage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Platinum-Cured Silicone | 100% Non-Porous | Zero (Phthalate & BPA-Free) | Yes (Medical-Grade) | Primary Material (NOVA, Quest, Unite) |
| Chemically Inert ABS | 100% Non-Porous | Zero (Safe Hard Resin) | Yes (Body-Safe) | Bullet Casings & Internal Skeletons |
| TPR / TPE Plastics | Semi-Porous | May leach chemical plasticizers | No (Skin irritant risk) | Never Used |
| Jelly Rubber / PVC | Highly Porous | High Phthalate Content | No (Unsuitable for mucous membranes) | Never Used |
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) & Pacemaker Safety
An often-overlooked factor in adult wellness engineering is electrical motor emissions. Low-grade electric motors generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can disrupt nearby sensitive medical equipment.
Every motor utilized in Rocks Off products undergoes stringent EMC laboratory testing to verify that radiated frequencies remain well beneath regulatory safety ceilings. This ensures our devices operate cleanly without interfering with pacemakers, hearing aids, or implanted neurostimulators.
Lubricant Compatibility & Product Longevity
To protect the velvety finish and structural integrity of platinum-cured silicone:
✓ Recommended: Water-Based Lubricants
Always pair your silicone massager with high-viscosity, isotonic water-based lubricants (such as Rocks Off Excite Lube). Water-based formulas wash away cleanly with zero chemical reaction.
✗ Avoid: Silicone-Based & Oil Lubricants
Never use silicone lubricants, Vaseline, or mineral oils with silicone devices. Silicone-on-silicone contact causes molecular cross-linking, resulting in permanent pitting, melting, and tackiness.
Cleaning & Waterproof Integrity
All rechargeable Rocks Off massagers are engineered to IPX7 100% Submersible Waterproof standards. They can be safely immersed under water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Cleaning Routine: Wash thoroughly with warm tap water and a gentle antibacterial soap or specialized silicone foam cleaner. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth and store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
No phthalates
What are phthalates?
Many cheaper sex toy alternatives rely on materials that can be harmful to our health. This includes phthalates, which are plastic softeners that have been proven to cause cancer, as well as neurological and reproductive problems. We take a zero-tolerance approach to phthalates, as well as TPE and thermoplastic elastomers.

The Ultimate Guide to Body-Safe Materials: Why Platinum-Cured Silicone Beats Cheap PVC and TPE
When you buy an intimate wellness device, you are investing in your body. If you flip over the packaging of most mass-market toys, though, the material specs are vague: "silicone," "soft touch," or just generic plastic.
For anyone navigating intimate health, understanding what touches your skin matters just as much as what a device does...
How Do Cock Rings Work? Physiology, Sizing and Everyday Safety
Strip away the marketing jargon and constriction rings are simple mechanical tools. They do one specific job: restrict venous blood flow out of the penis while letting arterial blood flow in uninterrupted.
The result is straightforward. You get a firmer erection that sticks around longer, increased sensitivity across the shaft and head, and extra stamina when fatigue kicks in.
Sex Toys for Couples: The Complete Guide to Shared Pleasure
Let's be honest — sex toys have an image problem. For years the assumption has been that they're something you use on your own, quietly, when nobody's home. But that's nonsense. Some of the best fun you can have with a toy involves two people, and more couples are figuring that out every day.
