A PSA on Nasty Toys.

Apologies in advance for getting a little serious on you today.

But you need it.
Your vagina needs it.
Your asshole needs it.
Your brain needs it.

As you know, we're huge fans of sex toys around these parts. What you might not know, however, is that we're also super crazy organic people that don't keep any harsh chemicals in the house. Our bodies are too important to us to allow that kind of shit in close proximity. And you can bet your ass that our bodies are also too important to be putting those same harsh chemicals IN our bodies. You know, through the pussy. Or asshole.

Yep, this may surprise some of you (hopefully it doesn't, because you're well aware of this by now), but a lot of sex toys contain really terrible shit. And that terrible shit goes right into your hoo-ha when you get yourself off with it.

For REAL.

Allow the fine women at Smitten Kitten take it away from here. And seriously, it's time to replace those jelly toys. Plus, what better excuse to go shopping for new vibrators?

  2. Totally in support of spreading the message about shitty toys and getting those off the market -- I'm pissed that this is even an issue still, though! I'm really glad y'all are making your readers aware. Preach!

    1. Yeah, pissed and hopeful is a good way to describe it. Hopeful that there are stores like Smitten Kitten and Babeland that aren't just in it for the cash, but also the health and happiness of the consumer. Happy to pitch in, even in this small way!

    1. Right? A pretty big bummer for sure. Putting "for novelty use only" is a pretty shitty way to get away with selling harmful products.

  5. i kind of wish the interview had more details about what to avoid & what to look for. just saying that there are possibly toxic/harmful toys out there doesn't really help the uninformed when there are no details given.

    i'll assume that since she's talking, all the products they carry are safe. here's a link to their products:

    1. Yeah, more specifics would be nice, but at least knowing that what they sell is good stuff, you can begin to look at other places for those same products.

    1. Seems like the way it's moving, eh? We've been using only phlatate (sp?) free toys for quite some time now. Which will do, until we find out something terrible about those... (supposedly will never happen though).

  7. Too bad her store didn't survive out here in Denver. It was awesome when it was in business though and we did our best to support them. They had some beautiful wood toys which they carried as part of their green product initiative.

    1. Oh, that is too bad! Didn't realize they were growing from the MN base. You'd think Denver would LOVE a place like that!
