What am I made of ? Understanding the different sex toy materials




I  am always excited to try out all the new sex toys that are available. I have probably tried over 1200 plus sex toys and consider myself a sexpert when it comes to knowing what a good toy feels like! I laugh because I think I even know the toys better then some of the developers, since I try them so much. hahahaha

One thing I realized, was that I really didn't know what they were made of.
I realized most of us don't know. So thanks to the toy manufacturer Doc Johnson, I can provide you with  there Sex Toy Material  101 Breakdown.

What are phthalate free sex toys?

As you will notice all of our toys, at Romantic Nights For Two  are Phthalate-Free. 

Phthalate (pronounced “thal-ate”)-free sex toys are as the name suggests, they are any toys that don’t contain phthalates, which are chemical agents that soften plastic to make it more flexible.  Materials for toys that don’t contain phthalates are medical-grade silicone, surgical steel, anodized aluminum, glass, abs plastic, and properly finished wood. Due to lack of government regulations it has forced our industry to be self regulated in terms of healthy, non-toxic products that are available in the marketplace.
