BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU STICK WHERE


Some sex toys could be poisonous:

Most vibrators, dildos and “love dolls,” for instance — especially the soft, pliable “jelly” type — use some form of plastic. In an effort to make the materials softer and more lifelike, PVC plastics suppliers incorporate one or more members of a family of compounds called phthalates (FAY-lates). To hear some environmentalists tell it, using a vibrator that includes phthalates is akin to bathing in DDT. Alarmed, some sex toy retailers, most prominently San Francisco-based Good Vibrations, are banning toys that include phthalates.

At least human females need not worry about egg shell thinning. In any event, glass is a safe option, so long as you don't play too vigourously, that is. Hey, there's even one that doubles as a Christmas ornament.
