sex toy materials (skin safe rubber)

I have been reading on lh about the different sex toy materials and their propertirs etc.

In particular I purchased recently (not from here though, so sorry lh ) a dildo made of skin safe rubber (tpe), it is phtalate free but I was just wondering if it is also non-porous? I know tpr rubber is but I'm not sure about tpe? I was thinkng of sending it back as it has a slight off putting smell to it but I assume it's not uncommon with this type material. I usually only buy 100% pure silicone toys but the design of this one particularly appealed to me.

I really don't know with stuff like this. I have heard of Non-porous TPE, but I have no idea of that is a special mixture used to make it non-porous or if that is just a property of TPE.

The irritating thing is that TPE is basically the same as TPR, and i've heard of TPR toys that are extremely porous.

I don't like these materials because they are essential mystery mixes and who knows what's in them?
