    You were definately ahead of the game with that article - 2005.  Environment Report is now working on this issue and it should air in the next few weeks.  It will be probably be streaming on www.glrc.org.  

    Thanks Emily for inspiring us to start an eco-friendly adult boutique - Earth Erotics.  We are now Co-op America Certified and business is doing well.  To the question - "Ever thought about toxins in your sex toys?" Well not only did we think about it, but we did something about it too!  All the best.

  • PVC "human exposure summary" vague

    Since PVC is so prevalent in consumer products, it is interesting that the Silent Spring database's "human exposure summary" is so incredibly vague.  Regarding PVC exposure, the Silent Spring Database states "Previously was used as a refrigerant and in aerosol propellants, including hairsprays, but these uses were banned in 1974 (NTP 11th ROC).The general population may have some limited exposure to vinyl chloride, particularly through direct or indirect contact with polymer products."  

    What this conpletely ignores is PVC being used internally by millions of people every day.   Most sex toys are made from PVC (regardless of the existence of phthalates) and are almost always used internally by kinky folk who decided to take a trip down to the local adult store.  This method of exposure is probably the most prevalent, incredibly harmful, and is cloaked in silence by consumers, consumer advocacy groups, toxic action organizations, congress, the FDA -- and essentially everyone.  If we are truly worried about being "exposed" to chemicals - we need to start talking about sex toys!  Since it is doubtful any Congressman will sponsor a "safe sex toy bill" We have to Stop, Think, and Shop Alternative!!

  • Earth Erotics: An Eco-friendly Sex Shop

    One thing to be aware of is that most sex toys are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and softened with phthalates, chemicals widely known to cause cancer, obesity, and fetal reproductive system development problems.   All Earth Erotics sex toys are PVC-free, phthalate free, and non toxic.  We also have a beautiful selection of Glass Dildos blown exclusively for Earth Erotics by a professional glassblower in Portland, Oregon.

    If you are into spanking - Earth Erotics carries some really cool whips and floggers handmade out of recycled innertubes!  Last but not least - save batteries with our most ecofriendly vibrator - the 100% silicone rechargeable Sinnflut!

  • The Beauty of Glass

    While 100% silicone is an excellent material, Glass Wands are healthy, environmentally friendly, and support small business.

    From an environmental perspective, there is no better sex toy material than glass.  Glass is made by the same ocean from which we evolved.  It is all natural, chemical free, and biologically inert.  Inevitably, nature's technology has been cultivated by man, which allows glass to be shaped and molded into an array of artistic and functional items.  Even dildos!

    For your health, glass wands are great. Unlike plastics, glass wands are non-porous and can be completely cleaned and sterilized after use.  The rigidity of glass makes them essential for effecting g-spotting.  They can be warmed up, cooled down, and even thrown in the diswashwer.

    From a business sense, the sex toy industry is dominated by a few mega-manufacturers, mostly located in California.  Although some larger toy manufacturers carry health conscious products, I think it is important for retailers to support small business whenever possible. This prevents centrally located mega-manufacturers from flooding the market with cheap products, shutting down "the little guy," and ensuring an essential monopoly.  It also raises the industry standard of quality.

    Aesthetically, artisan blown glass is stunningly beautiful! Every glass wand is one of a kind, which allows you to choose a unique piece that is right for you and your body.On Ever thought about the toxins in your sex toys? posted 2 years, 9 months ago 28 Responses
