Sex Toys Sex Movies Blog

There has been some talk and news in the sex toys industry the past year or two talking about making sex toys from phthalate free materials. Now it seems that the “green monster” that is taking over our pop culture has made it’s way to sex toys parties as well. Recent article in the sun sentinel highlights a newer company that focuses on the green side of sex toys with private parties, they were even featured on the discovery channel, here’s a video clip.

I’m not aware of any real health issues from sex toy use, aside from some people who found their private parts irritated if they have a latex allergy. I am glad that the adult industry is taking a proactive approach to manufacturing and advertising dildos and vibrators that are made from healthier materials. If nothing else it will help people to become more aware of the materials used in all the products we purchase, for the bedroom, or not.

I have seen many sex toys labeled phthalate free over the past year, but we need to remember that there have been healthy “green” sex toys available for years. Quality silicone based sex toys are made from medical grade silicone and they are a non porous, non leaching material. Not only are they healthy as far as the materials themselves, but they are easier to get really clean, since they are non porous.

Silicone sex toys can be washed in a dishwasher, put into hot water before use, or put in the freezer to make them cold. The silicone based “personal products” for men and women usually cost a bit more than the latex ones, but they last longer. So the next time you are shopping for your next “marital aid”, keep an eye out for the phthalate free labeling, but also compare to the silicone based toys in the same genre, as they have been green and healthy for years.
