    not much, it’s not pure silicon but mostly saline caught in a silicone matrix.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4174160/ says density is between 1.03 - 1.07 g/ml, resulting in only 120-280 g more than pure water.

    Only gripe with this study seems for me that these were measured at standard lab conditions @ 20°C, while they will be at body temperature while in use, maybe changing density. But the mass stays the same, so for our chat here that isn’t that important.
