Straws, ice and baking molds, glasses, and candles with a naughty shape are just tableware. The material determines what you keep, what you wash, and what you throw away.
The morning after a bachelor party or a birthday with a wink, the table is full: straws in glasses, a silicone mold with melted water, half-burnt candles, a garland that's still perfectly fine. The question then is simple: what goes into the cupboard, what goes into the dishwasher, and what's better to throw away? That depends almost entirely on the material — and you can consider that before ordering.
Underneath the articles with a naughty shape is a very ordinary product group: tableware. Straws, ice and baking molds, glasses, mugs, candles, and candy. You pay a few extra euros for the shape; for longevity, the material determines everything. Below is the sober version, per type.
Straws: single-use, washable, or neither
Shaped straws are usually made of hard plastic. They are lightweight, they don't break, and they are cheap per piece, but they are not meant to last for years. Penis Straws – Set of 10 (€5.00) and Penis Shaped Straws Beige - 10 pieces (€4.95) are therefore calculated per guest, just like napkins. Penis Straws Black - 10 pieces (€7.95) falls into the same category.
Ice and baking molds are the items that most often return to a subsequent party because they don't wear out. With Penis Ice and Baking Mold Silicone 18x14 cm - Pink (€5.95) and Silicone Ice and Baking Mold Penis 18 x 14 cm Green (€5.95), the size of the plate is in the title, which is useful if you want to know if it fits in your freezer or oven — measure it, because 18 by 14 centimeters is more compact than people expect.
Three things that make a difference in use:
Do not fill to the rim. Water expands in the freezer and batter rises. A mold that overflows releases poorly.
Allow to harden or freeze completely. Releasing too early is the main reason people think a mold is faulty.
Store flat. Silicone takes on the shape in which it is pressed for months. At the bottom of a drawer with heavy pans on top, it will come out crooked.
For regular ice cubes next to it, a neutral mold works great, for example, an Ice Cube Maker for Round Ice Balls (€1.95). Large blocks melt slower and dilute your drink less.
Glass, ceramics, and the rest of the table
Glass and ceramics last the longest and are the easiest to keep clean, but they are heavy and fragile — factor that in when transporting. A Beer Glass Female Torso 500 ml (€7.95) or a Ceramic Milk Jug Penis with Spout - 320 ml (€3.95) can simply stay in the cupboard all year round; that makes the price per use low.
For items with a distinct shape, pay attention to places a brush cannot reach: narrow necks, spouts, hollow handles. If you can't see into it, assume you'll be washing by hand. Check the packaging or product page to see if something is dishwasher safe; don't assume it, because with printed or painted material, that is often not the case.
Candy and pasta with a shape are ordinary foodstuffs in a funny package. They, therefore, have an expiration date, and with these types of items, that is not always generous. Check the date upon receipt and store in a cool, dark place — chocolate and hard candy both become unappealing if they have spent a few warm days in the sun.
Afterward, make a short list of what is used up and what remains. Usually, that means: reorder straws and candles, keep molds and glasses. For replenishment, check Straws, Ice Cube Maker, Erotic Fun Products, and Bachelor Party. Do you have doubts about a size, a material, or the number per package?
