Pleasure from a Jelly Rubber Pleaser

Some Jelly rubber toys may contain phthalates, which is a chemical used to soften plastics that has been shown to be linked to several environmental and individual health issues.

If you are considering purchasing a jelly sex toy, we recommend checking with the manufacturer on whether or not the product is free of phthalates or purchasing from a store such as Holistic Wisdom, Inc. that is committed to offering only nontoxic sexual products.
Jelly rubber is also very porous and can easily harbor bacteria. We highly recommend using a condom whenever using a jelly rubber sex toy to eliminate risk of exposure to harmful bacteria or toxins.

Cleaning Recommendations
Dish washing liquid soaps are too harsh for this type of toy and alcohol will dissolve it. Antibacterial sex toy cleaners are recommended for cleaning adult toys made of jelly rubber.

It is possible to spread infection or disease with a sex toy that has not been sterilized, even if it has been washed. We recommend the use of condoms with sex toys that cannot be sterilized such as toys made of jelly rubber.

We highly recommend storing Jelly items in a storage/separation bag or wrapped in thin material, as the porous surface can absorb anything it comes in contact with. Also, toys made of jelly rubber may melt if they come in contact with other jelly toys or toys of another material.

Jelly rubber toys can leak/”outgas” phthalates and other questionable chemicals. Straight from the chemistry lab a jelly rubber toy has a bad smell. It’s really offensive to me personally, and the smell varies from toy to toy. Some companies try to cover up this bad smell by adding even more chemicals with scents. Oily-feeling fake taste/smell chemicals. Yum.

When you buy a sex toy made of unsafe materials, there’s more than just phthalates to be concerned about. Sure, they’re the worst. But it doesn’t mean they’re the only thing in it that can cause a reaction. The delicate tissue of the vulva/vagina/anus/rectum/penis is even more susceptible to having a reaction. These chemicals were found in the jelly sex toys.

So to sum this up, READ what your toys are made of.   My Joy toy above is Jelly, however it does not contain phthalates.  I rarely use him, unless I go on a real hiatus.  When I do it is worth it!
