So, I guess I should give some backstory. Yesterday I received my first every sex toys, which I very much enjoyed using. I didn’t do a lot of research on them, as I didn’t think it was really necessary. Since I bought it from a very popular and well-known site in the Netherlands, which I might have come to regret. After getting more curious about the sex toys, I bought. I started to google and found out not all materials are safe to use (shocker) so far I’ve come to understand – and I apologize if I’m wrong, but that’s why I’m posting this. That everything non-porous like titanium, stainless steel, glass, and pure silicon are the only safe materials for use in sex toys.

The first thing I looked up after was which material the toys I bought were made of. Luckily, one is made from stainless steel, so I guess I’m good with that one, but the dildo I bought is made of PVC, which I understand isn’t great. To my surprise, almost all toys sold on that site are made from PVC, which made me confused…

Basically, what I’m trying to ask (and I did my best googling this but all I was really able to find is what I said above) is: How safe is it for me to use my dildo, and if it is not safe, is it ok if I would buy some cheap condoms and put them over it before use? I wouldn’t trust cheap condoms with sex, but since it wouldn’t be a big deal if they broke, I guess it would be ok to go for cheaper one’s?

FYI, I hope the title was clear enough no Idea what I should have titled it :P

    Check to see if yours are phthalate free. Is your dildo flexible at all? If so it likely contains phthalates which can be the problem.

      Yeah, it’s definitely a little flexible… With what the other kind person already told me, I think I’ll just go buy some cheap condoms before I put it inside me again :P
