the first sex toy mindy browning ever purchased was also the one she believes poisoned her […] it caused such severe pain that she could barely speak. after reading dozens of articles and horror stories online, she was convinced: the dildo had caused a chemical burn.

believe it or not, sex toys remain unregulated in the United States. and because there are virtually no safety standards to dictate what chemicals can be used in sex toys, manufacturers are free to make their products with whatever they want […]

for now, there are some resources available to consumers. both the Progressive Pleasure Club and the Coalition Against Toxic Toys highlight sex shops nationwide that specialize in “body safe” nontoxic toys, many of which can be purchased online. And several blogs, such as Hey Epiphora and Dangerous Lilly, review sex toys for safety—and efficacy.

(via Are Your Sex Toys Safe?)

i’m a big believer in sex toys. know your materials. jelly is bad. bad bad bad. at least make sure your toy is rated phthalate free, then from there aim for silicone, stainless steel, ceramic, borosilicate glass, and safer plastics. if you can, always use a condom over toys if they are of questionable materials. that way your body is safer and clean up is easier. one of my favorite web sites to check toy safety is Eden Fantasys. even if i end up not buying there, their product info is very informative, and the reviews are extensive.

also be aware of condom materials and lube contents and how your body might react to them. 🙂

in case you missed it the first few times, jelly toys are bad.

okay so this is an important thing that I’ve noticed:

I don’t shave my legs much and so sometimes people will put their hand on my leg and then realize it’s hairy and freak out a little and take their hand away as quickly as they can without seeming grossed out. and like, I don’t really think…

feeling very similar feels. really grateful that other people are writing about it.
