I went to a sex shop while visiting another city on vacation. I was going to buy a cute glittery jelly type dildo. The girl at the counter said "you'd have to put a condom on the toy if you are going to use it, the jells break down and come off inside of your body and are known to be toxic" I was like...WHAT?!
She suggested a silicone toy instead. I thought she was crazy and trying to upsell me till I got home and did some online research. Most of the jelly type dildos have phthlates in them, even though they are listed on the box as being phthlate free. There's no federal regulation on sex toys and the materials they are made of. I have several of these type of dildos and immediately threw them in the trash. I'm really worried, because I used those jelly toys daily...they were my go to toys! Did I permanently damage my vagina using these toys....how could I have not known, I feel so stupid for not researching this before hand. Here is an article about it https://www.reddit.com/r/sex/comment...efore_you_buy/
I ordered some vixskin dildos made of 100% medical grade silicone. Check this article out. Its very informative and give links to places sell phthlate free toys.
