Plastic and other artificial materials dominate almost every sector of the market. Plastic is cheap, easy to produce and to keep it clean. That made us wonder – is our sex life plastic-dominated, as well?
The overwhelming majority of various companies established or moved their factories to Asia (China, India, and Bangladesh in particular), in order to lower the production costs. The following step was also replacing good quality materials with cheap and often toxic equivalents. That affected also the sex industry.
Is it still possible to spice up your sex life safely? How to choose the right sex toy? We threw ourselves in search of answers to satisfy your curiosity!
What makes a good sex toy material?
Obviously, sex toys and fetishes are an extremely subjective thing. There are as many possibilities and tastes as there are people. And yet it is possible to identify a couple of general guidelines on what to keep on mind while buying erotic accessories.
Moisture-resistance is especially significant in the case of electric sex toys like vibrators (e.g., traditional penis-shaped vibrators or quite popular lately vibrating bath ducks). If getting an electric shock isn’t one of your sexual fantasies, buy yourself a reliable waterproof sex toy from a verified adult toy shop.
Allergy-safe gadgets and contraception are also a must if you want to experience pure erotic pleasure without distractions such as rash, burning, swollen tongue… We know that we all have our kinky sites, but is an allergic reaction during an intercourse anybody’s thing? So try out your newly bought latex thongs before inviting your partner to come over!
Non-toxic materials. Toxines are a serious hazard in our bedrooms, as well. Their influence on our health is not immediately noticeable. The lurking danger comes in the form of i.a. PVC, polystyrene, and phthalates. On the chart, you can find more specific information on the toxic substances and consequences of long-term exposure to them.
