Toys are great. Until they get stuck or give you a chemical burn.

1. The Golden Rule: Flared Base

"Without a base, without a trace."

  • The Anatomy: The rectum is a vacuum. Once an object passes the sphincter, the muscles suck it up and in.
  • The Danger: If a toy (or vegetable/bottle) is smooth and straight, it will get sucked up into the colon. You cannot get it out.
  • The Result: An embarrassing X-Ray and emergency surgery.
  • Rule: Only use toys with a T-bar or wide flared base.

2. Materials: Silicone vs. Jelly

Not all rubber is safe.

🟢 Platinum Silicone (Safe)

  • Properties: Non-porous. Can be boiled/sterilized. Hypoallergenic.
  • Feel: Smooth, warms up.
  • Care: Wash with soap/water. Compatible with Water-Based lube. (Silicone lube dissolves it).

🔴 Jelly / PVC / TPR (Toxic)

  • Properties: Porous (micro-holes hold bacteria/poop). Often smell like chemicals.
  • The Risk: They contain phthalates (softeners) that can cause chemical burns inside you. They cannot be fully sterilized.
  • Identify: Sticky, smells sweet/chemical, melts if it touches another toy.
  • Rule: Throw them away. Or put a condom on them.

3. Glass & Metal

  • Pros: Sterilizable, temperature play (warm/cold water), rock hard.
  • Cons: Heavy. If glass breaks (rare, but possible with cheap borosilicate), it is catastrophic.
  • Rule: Buy high-quality brands only.

4. Hygiene

  • Sharing: Never share a toy raw. That is the express lane for Hep C and parasites.
  • Cleaning:
    • Silicone/Glass/Metal: Dishwasher or boiling water.
    • Battery Toys: Toy cleaner spray (antibacterial).

Summary

  • Flared Base Only.
  • 100% Silicone Only.
  • Condom on shared toys.
