1. Boy, nothing's safe anymore. If you can't trust your butt plug

manufacturer, who can you trust?

2. Phthalates.

Say that fast three times without breaking your tonque.

3. "Remember, these are chemicals which do not easily biodegrade ..."

So how exactly are they supposed to pose a danger? Thousand years in a landfull won't disintegrate them but brief insertion will?

I call BS.

4. Pssst.... Don't tell KkKarl.

n/t.

6. I don't really want to come down on one side of this issue

or the other -- I am very glad to see the industry move away from jelly, and produce more and more silicone and glass toys.

BUT -- according to the EPA our highest exposure to phthalates comes from seafood.

Interstingly enough, the CDC thinks our highest exposure comes from the Air

I wouldn't worry too much about exposure to jelly toys. Just keep them away from silicone lube to prevent dildo disease.

It's sad watching the public aging of a legend.

10. There are worse ways to go...

:P :hi:

11. Well, I always preferred the silicone toys over the jelly ones anyway.

Now I know that Greenpeace backs that decision.

12. I considered posting it but figured I'd get the thread locked

:shrug:

[NMMNG]

13. Well, I don't have any of those

Nothing to worry about there.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. Don't try to act all innocent.

You just buy the silicone toys.

[NMMNG]

16. Silicone swathed plastic actually
