Every one talking about sex toys is safe for health. It’s not just what a sex toy is made of that may harm your health–it’s more important how you use it because there is very little scientific data on the safety of sex toys. Simply we can say there is no data that can confirm that “most sex toys have cancer-causing ingredients and other serious diseases.
We do know that many soft rubber toys are made using phthalates because Phthalates soften the rubbers and make sex toys have a soft cushy feel to them. They are used in a wide range of sex toys. Phthalates have been linked to several environmental and individual health issues, in a variety of other consumer products. The most common sex toys that are made with phthalates are called jelly rubber but many other kinds of soft rubber toys also contain phthalates.
Phthalates — propounded “thal-ates” — are a family of chemicals used to soften hard plastics to make them more flexible. Derived from phthalic acid and often called a plasticizer for its plastic-softening properties, phthalates has been produced since the 1920s and has been used in everything from perfumes to pesticides and medical.
Sex toy materials
• Silicone: Wonderful, flexible, sexy toys are being made with medical grade silicone. These are body safe.
• Glass: Many dildos are made with glass, a beautiful and sleek alternative to plastics.
• Hard plastic: Just because something is plastic does not make it toxic. It is only the softer plastics that you have to worry about.
How to use Sex toy
• It is very important that you clean and sterilize your sex toys thoroughly after every use.
• If you use body safe toys made from elastomer, hard plastic or silicone, you can easily clean them with warm water and sex toy cleaner or soap as they are non-porous.
• Always use silicone toys for anal sex. Many people use silicone lubricants with anal toys as they last for long and are quite slick. If you use anal toys made from silicone, you need to make sure that you don’t use silicone lubricants with them.
• If you share your anal toys and sex toys with someone, make sure you use a condom always.
• Also use a condom if you use your sex toys anally and vaginally interchangeably.
• If you already have a lot of jelly rubber toys, as silicone toys are relatively newer, use a condom over them to reduce the risks of infection.
• Use a condom: Have a favorite toy that seems to have phthalates, but you don’t know for sure and don’t want to take the chance? Use a condom over it.
Sex Toy Injuries What little research we have suggests that injuries sustained while using sex toys are rare and most are minor, hardly dangerous. Don’t try funny like glass bottle and other mettle.
Sex Toys Causing Yeast Infections and allergy if you’ve developed a rash after using a sex toy, it’s entirely possible that you are having a bad reaction to your sex toy. Here are just a few things that could be happening:
• You may be having an allergic skin reaction to the sex toy.
• Using the sex toy or lubricant may have contributed to or encouraged a yeast or bacterial infection.
• Your vibrator may have made an existing problem worse by irritating or inflaming the area.
• There are lots of other possibilities (especially if you shared the toy). So, the only way to know for sure is to
stop using the sex toy and seek medical advice.
Sex Toys Are a Danger to Sexual Sensitivity Sex toys, vibrators in particular, can cause temporary numbness, particularly when they are powerful and used for a long period of time. But the numbness goes away and there is no evidence that sex toys cause any permanent or even temporary but significant damage to sexual sensitivity.
