Do you know what your sex toys are made of?

More and more people are consciously concerned with their health: enough exercise and being aware of what they ingest, both through food and what they put on their skin or wear. A good development. Many products contain harmful substances such as plastic, PFAS and other chemicals. These substances can pose a major risk to your health - especially if they come into direct contact with the most sensitive parts of your body. Hence the question: do you know what your sex toys are made of? In this blog we explain why it is important to consciously choose safe, high-quality products.

The Danger of Plastic and Chemicals

Cheap erotic products are often made of plastic or other materials that contain harmful chemicals, such as phthalates. Phthalates are used to make plastic flexible, but these substances are notorious for their hormone disrupting effects. In addition, there are also products that contain PFAS, better known as "forever chemicals". These substances hardly break down, can accumulate in your body and are linked to health problems such as reduced fertility and hormonal imbalance.

What Happens When These Substances Come In Contact With Your Skin?

The skin of your intimate areas is thinner and more sensitive than other parts of your body. This means that harmful substances are absorbed more quickly. The consequences can range from immediate irritations, such as redness, itching and a burning sensation, to long-term risks such as disruption of your natural pH balance. The latter can lead to discomforts such as infections or inflammation.

Here are some effects to consider:

1. Irritations and Allergic Reactions

  • Plastics and plasticizers (such as phthalates): These substances can irritate the skin or cause allergic reactions, such as redness, itching or a burning sensation.
  • Sensitive skin: Intimate areas have thin, absorbent skin that reacts quickly to harmful substances.

2. Disturbed pH balance

  • Chemicals in materials: Some cheap materials contain substances that disrupt your body's natural pH balance.
  • An imbalanced pH can lead to discomforts such as dryness, fungal infections or bacterial infections.

3. Long-term risks from PFAS and Phthalates

  • PFAS: There is still a lot of research going on about the effects of PFAS. They are currently linked to hormone disruption and health problems such as reduced fertility.
  • Phthalates: These are often added to cheap plastic to make it flexible, but are known as hormone disruptors. This can affect your hormonal balance and cause other health problems.

Why Cheap Is Often Expensive

Many products you find online are produced cheaply without any attention to quality or safety. The use of plastic and chemicals reduces production costs, but puts you as a user at risk. In addition, the origin of these products is often unclear, which means that you have no idea what exactly you are buying. Cheap can therefore ultimately become expensive, especially when you consider the consequences for your health.
