Apparently I am the last person on earth to know this: Your Dildo Is Made of Pure Evil.
Apparently, I am the last person on earth to know this, but in case I am not, I will pass it along. In addition to being pretty much impossible to clean (which I knew), 'jelly' sex toys are also made of unstable materials that leak irritants and may be carcinogenic.
The sort of plastic that these things are made from apparently used to be used in chew toys for babies and dogs, but has been pulled from the market in those applications. So anyways. I'm basically getting cancer, is what.
The Intarweb has our... er... backs on this one though. Several folks with online shops have a policy against selling anything made of phthalates (the bad guy in this story), among them Womyn's Ware and The Smitten Kitten. Womyn's Ware's website also features some truly stunning product reviews, under the link BuyerBeWomyn'sWare.
