This is exactly the sort of thing that helped me when I first started shopping for adult toys. I can't remember the name of the post, but you listed safe and unsafe materials and provided a list of websites to shop at. Thank you so much! Hi there

I've talked to a few industry people who are telling me that the novelty term is being used in lieu of having to call the items a "medical device" for exporting and tariffs, and that legally the novelty use disclaimer wouldn't prevent someone from suing if they were hurt (frankly, the sex-negative culture here in the US prevents the lawsuits, in my opinion). I'm trying to find as much "fact" as possible amidst the "PR fluff" as possible before I publish it, though - man that is not easy. But I don't disagree that China plants are a problem. I do however think that these manufacturers should be randomly testing (and then acting on the results) the products in a lab. Of course, many don't care. Yet. I really hope Dildology changes that attitude over time! Because it all comes down to the demands of their customers, right? The demands about phthalates got their attention, but it's not enough. We have so much bullshit to wade through. Luckily the sex-pos army is growing! Thanks for supporting Dildology :)
