Facts About Phthalate Free Sex Toys

You’ve surely seen the headlines recently warning about
“Toxic Sex Toys” or “Killer Vibrators”, etc. This has been due to a study that
found a link between Phthalates, which are the chemicals used to soften hard
plastics and several health risks. This study sparked a lot of interest in the
topic of sex toys as well as several other studies with confusing results, so
here’s the deal: phthalates

may not be
good for you, so do your best to avoid them.

Thankfully there are many toys that are already
phthalate-free and makers of sex toys are being pressured to stop using the
harmful chemicals all together, but until that happen, here are some facts
about the phthalate free toys.

One way to tell if the goodies in your toy box contain
phthalates is through smell. Those that do contain the chemical have a very
strong plastic or chemical odor when you first buy them that tends to stick
around over some time. Also, the jelly toys are the ones which most often
contain the chemicals. This is not to say that you should toss out your beloved
toy just yet. We recommend using a condom on them instead which is a good idea
with jelly toys anyway as they are difficult to disinfect because of their
porous surface.

Reading the packaging before you buy your toy will tell you
if it’s phthalate-free or not. These days thanks to all of the hype; many toys
makers are pleased to include a big “Phthalate-Free” emblem front and centre.
Sometimes a little digging may be required, so read the ingredients or simply
ask sales staff. (We have live online help available.)
