Avoid Toxic Sex Toys for Safety

When choosing sex toys, prioritizing safety and quality is essential to avoid potential health risks. Here’s how to ensure you’re selecting non-toxic, body-safe options:

1. Avoid Toxic Materials

Steer clear of these harmful materials, which can leach chemicals, harbor bacteria, or cause irritation:

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – Often contains phthalates (softening chemicals linked to hormone disruption).

Jelly Rubber / TPR/TPE – Porous materials that can trap bacteria and degrade over time.

Phthalates – Found in some cheap plastics; linked to health risks.

“Novelty” or Mystery Materials – Unlabeled or cheaply made toys may contain unsafe chemicals.

2. Choose Body-Safe Materials

Opt for non-porous, medically approved materials:

Silicone (Platinum-Cured) – High-quality, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean.

Stainless Steel (316L Medical Grade) – Non-porous, durable, and easy to sanitize.

Glass (Borosilicate) – Smooth, non-toxic, and temperature-responsive.

ABS Plastic – Hard, non-porous plastic, often used in vibrators.

3. Look for Certifications

Medical-Grade Silicone – Indicates high purity.

Phthalate-Free / Latex-Free – Avoids common irritants.

CE / RoHS Compliant – Meets European safety standards.

4. Proper Cleaning & Care

Use water-based lubricants (avoid silicone lube with silicone toys unless confirmed compatible).

Clean with mild soap & water or a toy cleaner before and after use.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

5. Watch for Red Flags

Strong chemical smells (indicates off-gassing from cheap materials).

Unlabeled packaging or vague material descriptions.

Extremely low prices (may indicate poor-quality or counterfeit products).

By choosing body-safe materials and reputable brands, you can enjoy pleasure without compromising your health. Always do your research before purchasing!
