Color & Softness Info

Above are a Photos with all of the colors

Below are more photos of the RTDL1.5" and Diamond Tip 8-14mm the first photo shows the two translucent colors and white, this will be the most confusing part.

Translucent (Clear / See-through / Transparent) Only available in Firm grades: #18 Firm and #30 Very Firm. So, if you’re looking for a see-through finish, you’ll want to go firmer.

Starting from the left we have “true” translucent, we can only do this with the harder two materials, #18 and #30.

In the middle we have translucent/white, but this one is softer, we don’t add any pigment to it, but that is as transparent as the softer materials will get. We can make #18 and #30 look like the middle one by adding a very small amount of white.(If you would like this “translucent/white” color in #18 or #30, and trans/white isn't an option, just put it in the notes in the cart, or send us an email after or before placing the order.)

On the right we have a white piece for comparison. We can make any of the different hardness white or any of the other colors, Translucent can only be made in #18 or #30, all softer options will be Translucent/White. Below that are more photos, and all colors can be made with any softness/hardness, except for the aforementioned “true” translucent.

We mix a few of our own pigments, pink(white & red) and dark red(red & blood red), these colors will have a small amount of variations through the years.

We add an amount of pigment to the batch of silicone we mixed up by eye, so there is so variation there too. We weight the batch, but every color is different and requires a different amount per the size of the batch. Some of the pics contain a few pieces to show the range the color could be. The 5th pic down has 3 pink pieces, one a little darker and one a little lighter than we normally shoot for.

0010 Absolute Soft

This is the softest material we use, it is only used for the sleeves. Most items made out of this material can't stand on their own. This material is highly compressible and quite stretchy.

0020 Very Soft

This is the softest firmness we offer for most products, also the second slightly harder option for the sleeves, this is a very slight difference. More suitable for long-term wear and/or for large sounds and large rear pieces. Most items made out of this material can't stand on their own. This material is highly compressible and quite stretchy, no spring.

0050 Soft

While this is harder than 0020, it's still quite soft. Perfect for the larger pieces. This material and the softer ones feel like fatty belly. Few items made from
this can stand on their own. This material is compressible and stretchy, nearly zero spring.

10 Medium

This is the recommended firmness for many pieces, it is a very medium material,
soft but still some rigidity, for small and medium sized pieces this is a great option, but for the larger pieces, this will probably be too firm. This feels like a
relaxed muscle. Can compress some,
and can stretch, not much spring.

18 Firm

Great for small sounds and pieces that you want to be more rigid. This feels more like a tensed muscle. Very little compression and not much stretching, some springiness.

30 Very Firm

This is the hardest firmness that we have available, great for smaller sounds that have a bore hole, and you don’t want it to kink off, or for some dilators. This feels like a very tensed muscle. Very near zero
compression or stretching, very springy.

These pieces are held up so that their tip end will droop down. As expected, the harder ones don't droop so much as the softer ones.

Similarly, these Small Ribbed Shaft pieces are also held up so that they will droop down on the tip end. Again, the harder ones don't droop so much as the softer ones.
