Toxic Toys Yes that's right, you may have sex toys that contain "phthalates" that can be harmful to you and your body. If any of your rubber/jelly toys are see-through, smell of plastic, of rubber or ANYTHING, then your toy is more than likely Toxic. ONLY SAFE PRODUCTS such as 100% medical grade silicone/glass/acrylic and metal toys do not smell because there are NO chemicals present to off-gas. This isn't something you should shrug off, your health could be at risk!!!
The latest research indicates that exposure to these substances can upset the body's ability to regulate hormone production, damage reproduction, and cause cause liver and kidney defects. They can also possibly cause cancer. Just take a look at this result on the Jack Rabbit where they have found an alarming 53% of Toxic material.
Sometimes even when buying a toy labelled up as Silicone you can be at risk, but only when the toy has been labelled as silicone to make it appear safe. I know what you're saying "That can't be true, they're regulated by trading standards, right?" WRONG!!! The use of "phthalates" in sex toys are not regulated, but they were BANNED last year for use in children's toys because they put them in their mouths. So why shouldn't they be regulated in sex toys considering where you put them into your body? It's probably due to the sex industry being so huge and takes in a large amount of TAX revenue. But "Green Peace" are trying to make a difference and get the use of toxic chemicals banned in sex toys.

about unsafe sex toys
Porous toys In addition to considering the possibility of exposure to toxic industrial chemicals, also consider the risk posed by viral, fungal and/or bacterial growth within the toy. To be considered safe, the material(s) that these toys are made from must be cleanable. Because porous materials harbour potentially infectious organisms, you can NEVER sanitize them and they can never be re-used with no risk. Clearly, the user/consumer determines the acceptable level of cleanliness that they feel comfortable with but here at Safe Vibes we choose to eliminate all the toys that can pose as a health risk in any way. What woman out there wants to battle yeast infections denting her sexual self confidence and spending money on costly remedies to cure the symptoms when the cause of the re-infection could be due to your choice of sex toy and lubricant. Yes that's right, your choice of lube can result in rapid growth of yeast infections. Read about our recommendations of lubricant's in "our products" page.
