Why Is There So Much Hype About “Body Safe” In Sex Toys?

The term body safe is used a lot in association with sex toys available at every sex shop online. There is a conversation or debate going on about ‘body safe’ sex toys and why toy manufacturers and distributors still specifically mention ‘body safe’ toys. The crazy part is why all sex toys aren’t body safe. Let us go through the details in this blog post.

WHAT ARE NON-BODY-SAFE TOYS?

Some sex toy manufacturers create non-body-safe sex toys, praying that the lack of information will motivate buyers to purchase their products. They also believe that users tight on the budget will rely upon ‘non-body-safe’ sex toys and take chances. Hence, they disguise their products with terms like PPE or skin feel. In this regard, vendors from sex shops in Adelaide say that if a toy doesn’t mention body-safe silicone or medical-grade silicon, something is wrong, or there is something that manufacturers don’t want buyers to know.

WHY AREN’T ALL SEX TOYS AVAILABLE AT A SEX SHOP ONLINE BODY SAFE?

There are no laws or guidelines to regulate the sex toy manufacturing industry, and this flexibility allows manufacturers to manufacture toys from different materials regardless of whether they are body safe or not. The lack of regulation and also knowledge and information has kept these manufacturers alive in the competition, and in fact, they are thriving well.

WHAT MAKES SEX TOYS TOXIC OR NON-BODY SAFE?

There are mainly two types of toxic toys available at adult sex shops in Adelaide. Let us go through the details in this segment.

TOXIC MATERIALS

Toys made from toxic materials or materials that are not ideal for the human body are termed as toxic toys available at adult sex shops in Adelaide. They are made from dangerous crude plastic and other materials that are harmful to sensitive areas like the vagina and rectum. The toxins come in the form of phthalates, known for dropping your fertility and they are also associated with life-threatening diseases like cancer, diabetes and other endocrine disorders.

POROUS SEX TOYS

Sex toys made from porous materials are also tagged as non-body-safe, and the fact is that they are as bad as toxic toys. The pores in these sex toys can become a home for germs and bacteria to thrive. They also promote yeast and mold formation. Hence, they can be harmful if not used after a complete cleaning process that involves boiling multiple times.
