Phthalates: Do you really care?

June 16th, 2009

I’m just curious.

I’m tending toward the healthier side of the “what my sex toys are made of” spectrum, slowly but surely. But I do have to say that I’m still exploring enough that I don’t like to rule out toys which seem to have great functions because of material alone. If I’m comparing 2 very similar toys, I’d go for one which was Phthalate free over one which has Phthalates. Really, I’m just not a person to concern myself over things (which also seem unsubstantiated) if it’s going to severely inhibit my fun. Of course, there are a lot of sex toy options which is why, through very little conscious effort, much of my collection is Phthalates free.

    Yes, yes I do. In my opinion, it is a waste of time to have to use a condom on a toy — which is what phthalates requires I do. I haven’t used a toy containing phthalates for years, and it has not been difficult.

    • Adriana says:

      I agree that a condom is a waste of time in that we have not used them for sex for years but I’d rather just use the damned toy. It can’t be worse than any of the other phthalate containing plastics in my house.

  • erotictoys says:

    i agree… condom is a waste of time…

    I had smoked for like 6 years, drank, and taken drugs. I rarely do any of these things anymore, mostly because they just caught up with me. So for the life of me, I cannot figure out why I won’t just save money on buying cheaper-made toys. I’m just not the type of person to care about such things. Why God, why?
