Hidden truths

Our research in founding this company has led us to discover some grave truths about the manufacturing processes involved in the sex toy industry. These facts are not common knowledge because there is hardly any existing media exposure on the subject. This article by Emily Gertz is a worthwhile investigation: 'Toxins in your sex toys?'

Chemicals

The manufacture of plastics involves the inclusion of a variety of chemicals, which are often toxic if absorbed by us. PVC is a plastic used in the manufacture of many toys. PVC contains phthalates which are harmfully toxic chemicals. When we are in contact with these plastic products, the heat from lipids in our skin and flesh draws out the toxins in the plastic over time, leading to exposure in our bodies, and intimate areas. This will be a shocking realisation for most of us.  The toys we sell at Organic Pleasures are PVC and phthalate-free.
