Materials matter, and words like \u201corganic,\u201d \u201cfree-range\u201d and \u201cfair trade\u201d now play a key role in the buying decisions of shoppers. When it comes to sex toy shopping, it\u2019s especially important to be savvy about what is going into your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sex toys are made from an array of materials in factories all around the world. Unfortunately, unlike food containers, eating utensils, and other consumer items, there are no consumer safety regulations to ensure the safety of sex toys. Responsible pleasure products manufacturers self-regulate by thoroughly testing their products before releasing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1201\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/static.bvibe.com\/anal-play-101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/body-safe-anal-toys-03.png\" alt=\"Hypoallergenic, waterproof, latex and phthalate-free are the 4 components that make an adult toy body-safe\" class=\"wp-image-786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.bvibe.com\/anal-play-101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/body-safe-anal-toys-03.png 1201w, https:\/\/static.bvibe.com\/anal-play-101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/body-safe-anal-toys-03-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/static.bvibe.com\/anal-play-101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/body-safe-anal-toys-03-768x448.png 768w, https:\/\/static.bvibe.com\/anal-play-101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/body-safe-anal-toys-03-1024x598.png 1024w, https:\/\/static.bvibe.com\/anal-play-101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/body-safe-anal-toys-03-1200x700.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However at one point, phthalates \u2014 a chemical that\u2019s believed to have adverse effects on the reproductive system \u2014 were used to soften the plastic in sex toys. Phthalates can make a sex toy porous, making a toy susceptible to harboring bacteria. Toys containing phthalates will usually have a plastic scent so it\u2019s important to read the packaging and pay attention to the safety icons, or ask the store\u2019s staff. Stay away from phthalates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looks like you&#8217;ve stumbled upon one of our first-ever anal play 101 articles!
