Frequently Asked Questions

Packaging and Shipping

All orders ship in a plain brown box from "YM LABS." Nothing indicates that it is a sex toy. International orders will indicate "silicone sculpture" for customs declaration.

Our toys each come with a YiffMonkey cotton pouch for storage. Monkeys care about the environment, so we pack all orders using recyclable or reused packing materials (we order way too much stuff online ourselves and reuse that plastic pillow wrap whenever we have it on hand).

Custom colors and personalized orders

Most of our items are made-to-order and can be customized by color and firmness (soft, medium, firm, dual-density and extra firm upon request). For custom colors, please visit the "accessories and add-ons" section of our site. You can also add glow-in-the-dark and vac-u-lock options to your toy!

Please note: Custom color and glow orders cannot be canceled once they are in production.

Production Time

YiffMonkey is a two-monkey operation. Just two of us design and make everything we sell and also handle all the web operations, packing/shipping/photographing and customer support. As of Feb 2020, most orders take 2-5 business days to complete and drop off at the post office - however, we are trying to get ahead and keep toys that sell more regularly in stock so they can ship right away.

We do our best to meet the published production times but can occasionally be off by a day or two. Thank you for understanding!

What are the differences between each of the firmness options?

We offer a firmness sample kit for $10 that includes a $10 coupon for your first order.

As of 2021, we offer 3 main firmnesses. On the Shore hardness scale, our Squishy Soft is OO-20 (older toys are OO-30), Medium-Firm is OO-50, and Firm is 10A. We also offer two additional options that can be special ordered: Extra Firm is 20A and Super Squish is OO-10. Dual-density is soft on the outside and firm on the inside.

The bigger or softer the toy, the firmer it will feel. Knotted toys will have a lot of "give" behind the knot. Ordering split-density helps solve this.

We almost always recommend dual-density or split-density. It has the shape-retaining properties of a firm toy with the softness of a soft toy, and feels the most real.

Sizing details

We list our toys using a S/M/L/XL reference scale, but we realize this sort of sizing can be arbitrary (what I consider to be small, my partner considers to be large), so we also have a photograph in each toy's description next to a standard US 12-oz soda can and list detailed measurements of each toy below its description. Please note: we do round the measurements up or down to the nearest 1/4 in (or 1/2 cm).

Care instructions

All toys are hand-washed before they ship to you, but always clean your toy before and after using it (including the first time!). We recommend antibacterial soap and the hottest water you can comfortably use. Toys are dishwasher-safe, but superheated "sanitize" modes could leave marks on the toy.

Use plenty of high-quality lube. We recommend water-based. Silicone lubricant should not harm your toy, but may leave a residue that does not easily wash off. For larger toys, we recommend using quality fisting lube.

We are currently performing lubricant tests with our silicone and will share the results when we have more information.

We include a cotton bag with your toy for storage and recommend always storing the toy in its bag.

Wholesale availability

We happily accept wholesale inquiries. Contact brian@yiffmonkey.com for all wholesale inquiries.

Do you accept returns or refunds?

Due to the nature of the products we sell, we unfortunately cannot accept returns. Non-custom orders can be cancelled before they ship. Custom color or add-on (vac-u-lock, etc) orders cannot be canceled once they are in production.

If you notice a defect with your product, contact us right away and we will be happy to take care of it.

We understand ordering a toy that is too big can be frustrating, however we do list measurements at the bottom of the toy description and also photograph each toy next to a 12-oz soda can. When in doubt, we recommend going with the smaller option if you're not sure which size to go with.

Which firmness will I like?

Order our firmness sample kit! Or read on:

The Shore Firmnesses of our raw materials are: Super Squish: OO10 / Squishy-Soft: OO20 / Medium-Firm: OO50 / Firm: 10A / Extra Firm: 20A -- actual firmnesses will vary slightly from these numbers.

"Super Squish" is very squishy like a fresh gummy bear. "Squishy-Soft" will squish and bend under pressure quite a bit. Medium-Firm is closer to firm and is our most popular, especially on bigger toys. Firm is probably closest to a traditional hard latex dildo, with a little more softness to it. Extra firm has almost no give at all, similar to a hard bouncy ball.

Dual-Density is a soft outer skin with firm inner core, and is always our favorite option. We also offer split-density options.

Shipping outside of the US

Etsy doesn't let us set separate shipping weights for different sizes of toys, so the shipping rates listed may be higher than expected. We are working on setting up a new site at yiffmonkey.com that will solve this problem, but in the meantime, please contact us if the shipping rate seems too high (in some circumstances, it's actually lower than normal, but we will honor the lower listed rate in this case).

In response to COVID-19, we can no longer guarantee international shipping times. Most countries we ship to are experiencing delays, but all have eventually arrived. We hope everyone is safe, and hopefully shipping times will improve as infrastructure adjusts.
