If your Large Argent feels surprisingly soft, it's likely the Soft (0030) silicone. Here's what that means and how Near Clear 31* compares.
Quick answer
Your Large Argent feels soft because it's made with Soft (0030) silicone, a pliable, body-safe material that prioritizes comfort over rigidity. If you want a slightly firmer, more glass-like feel, the Near Clear 31* option is your alternative.
Why Soft (0030) feels the way it does
Soft (0030) silicone has a low durometer rating, meaning it's very squishy and flexible. This makes the Large Argent easy to compress, which can be a surprise if you're used to harder toys or firmer silicone blends. The trade-off is that it's gentler on sensitive areas and easier to insert for longer wear, but it may not provide the same intense pressure as a firmer toy.
How Near Clear 31* compares
Near Clear 31* is a translucent silicone that's firmer than Soft (0030). It's still body-safe and flexible, but it holds its shape more, giving you a different sensation. If your Soft Argent feels too yielding, the Near Clear version might be a better fit. Keep in mind that Near Clear can show dust and lint more easily, so it requires a bit more care during storage.
Frequently asked questions about Argent firmness
- Why does my Soft (0030) Argent feel so squishy?
- Soft (0030) is a very low-density silicone. It's designed to be pliable and gentle, so it will compress easily under pressure. This is normal and intentional.
- Is Near Clear 31* firmer than Soft?
- Yes. Near Clear 31* is a firmer silicone that holds its shape better. It's still flexible but offers more resistance. If you want less squish, choose Near Clear.
- Will my Argent soften over time?
- No. Body-safe silicone does not change firmness with normal use. If your toy feels softer than expected, that's its permanent characteristic. Check the firmness listed on your product page to confirm which silicone you received.
