Jelly

No. No it isn't.

I don't think so either. There are many people who do use it, and seem to be satisfied with it. (I just don't happen to be one of those people. lol)

I personally don't like it. However, it's a good material for creating textures and it's also incredibly flexible. But they're also filled with phthalates, which are pretty bad because they've been linked to infertility and other reproductive health problems.

I usually try to avoid jelly toys. That said, some people just LOVE jelly.

I personally don't give a damn about the 'safety issues' with jelly. I'm not reproducing anyway, so most of the side effects don't apply to me, I'm free to ride the jelly wave as often as I like.

Jelly is cheap. Other than that there's little to recommend it, especially with the new super-soft silicone formulations.

From the financial end do keep in mind that jelly toys often last only a couple of years, whereas silicone will last you for life.
