Bare / FAQ
Material questions, answered narrowly
What Bare will say about natural feel and sensitive skin, and what it will not guess.
What does natural feeling mean on a condom or a toy?
Often it means a thinner material, a lubricant coating, or a marketing line. Bare treats it as a claim until the maker names the material. 'Natural' is not a material. Latex, polyisoprene, polyurethane, silicone, and glass are materials, and each has care rules.
What should I check if my skin is sensitive?
Look for a named material, a short ingredient list on any lubricant, and a fragrance-free option if fragrance bothers you. Patch-test only in the way a clinician or the maker suggests. Stop if you see irritation. Bare cannot tell you whether you are allergic.
Is a smaller kit safer?
A smaller kit is easier to clean and easier to understand. Safer still depends on the object, the use, and your body. Fewer products simply give you fewer unknown labels.
Does Bare recommend a brand?
No. Use the checks, then look at the Sexual index if you want to compare disclosed listings. We do not take payment and we do not quote prices.
If we used a soft word without a label check, email that sentence.
