i know this thread is a bit old, but i just came across it and wanted to add my two cents. the material thing is only half the battle though - porosity matters a lot for cleanup and storage can mess up softer toys if they touch each other. what do you all do for keeping silicone pieces from degrading over time? curious if anyone runs into that issue or if i’m just paranoid ---
