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.

Susie Bright's blog is so educational.

Nope.

Apparently I missed the memo too.
I guess I'll have to organize a new toy shopping expedition to replace the ones that could possibly give me cancer?

Silicone toys are your friend. They're more fun, anyway, and a hell of a lot easier to deal with, clean and store.

Got to play with the "Stout" Feeldoe this weekend I bought for Amy. Mmmm fun.

I missed that too, but all I have is silicone things.

Sooooo....Do you like the toy you have now? Does it not please you? If it does...then take the next step....make it wear a condom. And after you've done that...then buy it some funny hats to wear...be creative.

Wow, I read all the comments on this post. I need my head examined.

--interesting heads-up though. I'm not sure I'm glad my dog is a better protected consumer than my girlfriend.

Okay, wait a minute. When my mom threw mine away, she was actually protecting me, in a way that would actually protect me and not just drive me crazy?
