If you’re looking to go green in the bedroom, a good place to start is to pick toys that are made out of earth friendly and body safe materials. One of my favorite alternative sex toy materials is glass because it looks and feels amazing.
One of the most important considerations when you’re choosing a new toy should be material. Of course you want to decide if it will feel good, but the chemical composition if equally important. Whether it’s a Big Mac or a dildo, it’s always important to think about what you’re putting into your body!
Glass, I’m happy to report, is phthalate-free. For those of you who are new to the game, phthalates are petroleum-derived chemicals that can be found in far too many every day products. They’ve been linked to all sorts of bad things and even banned in pet toys in Canada. If our neighbors to the north think that man’s best friend should not have phthlate oozing toys in their mouth, I’m going to think twice before putting them inside me!
Another great thing about glass is that it is non-porous. That means that you don’t have to worry about it harboring bacteria that could cause infection. Glass can also be completely sterilized by boiling it for a few minutes, running it through the dishwasher on the top rack with no soap, or wiping it down with a 10 percent bleach solution. How sweet is that!
And while looks won’t save the earth, glass toys are practically works of art. Glass dildos come in every color in the rainbow with bumps, swirls and all sorts of aesthetically pleasing features. Of course, those bumps are an amazing contast to the smooth texture that is one of the reasons I personally love glass.
If you’re a fan of temperature play, you’ll be pleased to hear that glass holds temp changes really well. If you warm a glass dildo up in a bowl of hot water before getting down to business, things will really heat up in the bedroom.
With proper handling, a glass toy is an investment that will provide you with plenty of good times without risking your health!
