Review: Ceramix No. 4

...silicone dildos are stuffed with foam, their “metal” toys are nowhere near stainless steel, and they rip off shapes from njoy and Crystal Delights. The rest of their toys are ridiculous, unsafe, and toxic, because, according to them, “most of our customers don’t give a shit what their toy is made of.” They are...

New here?

...so there are many toxic toys out there. I used to be a lot less aware of this, but now I make a point of only reviewing body-safe toys, usually at a higher price point, because YOUR GENITALS DESERVE THE BEST and rechargeable toys are the shit. I also fight against...

Review: Vibrator Nation

...stock 2 and rather briefly discusses the issue of toxic toys. Much like The Feminist Porn Book, Vibrator Nation is peppered with academic concepts but never veers so far in that direction that it becomes dry or incomprehensible. Rather, Comella’s more intellectual asides help illuminate the cultural importance of feminist sex shops...

...me feel horrible. I daydream about my dad calling me during the day and being able to tell him what I’m really doing. “Oh, I’m working on an article about toxic sex toys and a post about a polyamory segment that was on 20/20.” Something productive, since I feel like everyone assumes...

Review: Big Boss G5

The Fun Factory Big Boss is seriously orange. Across the room, day-glo, Manic Panic, atomic, toxic waste orange. Of course, that was a big reason I wanted it. I love that Fun Factory d-d-d-does have the guts to make their toys in off-beat, unpopular colors. But it was the combination...

Review: Goddess

...Being a cheapskate, I chose the Goddess because it was a smidge less expensive. I was impressed from the get-go. After trudging through many toys bearing the label “novelty only,” it was a relief to see the text on the Tantus box exclaiming, “100% ULTRA-PREMIUM PLATINUM SILICONE: NON-TOXIC, HYPOALLERGENIC, PHTHALATE...

Guest Review: Comet G Wand

Usually it takes a bit of time for my screaming endorsements to seep into the consciousness of my readers. Especially when the toys I love cost a pretty penny. But not this time. I flailed about the Jopen Comet G Wand less than two months ago, and I’m already getting reports back...
