Medical-grade silicone is the only completely body-safe soft dildo material, and it is completely hypoallergenic. Other soft materials like PVC and TPR/TPE may, or may not, have a non-porous surface depending on the manufacturing standards, but they do contain harmful chemicals including phthalates, so a condom to cover them is recommended. Glass dildos are a safe firm alternative, and stainless steel is also used to create safe dildos.
