The Safety Of Sex Toys

Sex toys have been used for years by women from all backgrounds. These toys come to prominance in the 70's in terms of vibrators. However, recent advances in material technology has allowed new and more sophisticated vibrators in all shapes and sizes to become available to women. These advances have made using a sex toy more enjoyable than ever before.

There are however some drawbacks in these material advances which a lot of people in the Adult industry would like to not make public or they are not aware of it themselves.

Toys can be made of many materials. Recently, there have been issues raised about the level of phthalates in sex toys. These chemicals are used to make PVC more flexible, but have been linked to hormonal and reproductive problems, liver and kidney disease. Although research is limited to date, it's worth protecting yourself by using a condom with any sex toys. And it's imperative that you do so if you're sharing your toys or using them with a partner, as it's possible to transmit STIs through toys so users must be careful to ensure hygene rules are followed.

If you click on the link it will take you to a appropriate buyers guide page plus there is a link to the full article located on a UK national newspaper "The Daily Mail" highlighting other issues concerning phthalates in other products of everyday use.

It's quite alarming as I have yet to find any other Adult Shopping site that has posted this information.

I hope you will find this information useful and informative as I have. I think it's good that the site below has taken the lead in adding this important information for it's customers.
