At Happy Bum Co, your safety is our top priority. That’s why we carefully select the materials used in our products, choosing high-quality silicone instead of plastic for our enema bags. However, there are many misconceptions about silicone.
Silicone is an incredibly durable, flexible, and reliable material, composed of silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. Its production begins with heating quartz sand to extremely high temperatures to extract silicon, a naturally occurring element. This process results in a strong, long-lasting material that is not only safe but also highly effective.
Here’s why we stand by silicone as the best choice for your health and well-being.
Temperature resistant
You’ve likely seen silicone baking trays used in kitchens, and it’s not just for aesthetics. Silicone is incredibly temperature resistant. It can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -60°C to 230°C without degrading. While our enema bags are only exposed to room-temperature water or coffee, this resistance ensures that the material remains structurally intact even under heat. Unlike plastic, which can melt or warp under high temperatures, silicone remains stable, meaning you never have to worry about harmful chemicals leaching into your body.
Highly durable
We believe in creating products that stand the test of time. Silicone is exceptionally strong, flexible, and resistant to wear and tear. Unlike plastic, which can crack, melt, or degrade after repeated use, silicone retains its shape and integrity, making it a reliable choice for long-term use. Its flexibility also makes it less prone to breaking, ensuring that your enema bag remains functional and effective for years to come.
Safer than plastic
One of the biggest concerns with plastic is its potential to break down into harmful microplastics, which can be ingested by both humans and animals, causing health and environmental issues. Silicone, on the other hand, does not degrade in the same way. While it isn’t biodegradable, it remains chemically stable and does not leach harmful substances into food, beverages, or water. Silicone is widely recognised as a food-safe material and is increasingly being recycled at specialised facilities. When processed correctly, it simply reverts to its original state of silica, carbon dioxide, and water. Unlike plastic, which releases toxic chemicals when burned.
Easy to clean
Silicone’s non-porous nature makes it incredibly easy to clean. Unlike some materials that absorb chemicals or odours, silicone does not retain residues from cleaning products. This means that after each use, you can simply rinse it with warm water and soap or even place it in the dishwasher for a deep clean. Its resistance to bacteria and stains ensures that your enema bag stays hygienic, making it a safe and hassle-free option.
