Most of my toys are jelly, and a few rubber ones, the only time i get something plastic is if it says phthalate free, i was wondering, how safe are jelly/rubber toys in comparison, is there any dangerous i dont know about? Do they have phthalates if they do not say phthalates free? Thanks for anyone who can help me

Don't Jelly Toys Degrade Over Time?
I've never owned a jelly toy.I have heard that they will degrade.Is this true?
Jelly vibrators: do you have a favorite?
I've liked the feeling of some of the jelly toys that EF offers. I just put a toy cover over it. Do you have any favorite jelly toys?
Suggestions for cleaning Jelly Toys?
I'm really not a fan of jelly toys but I still ended up with a few but they are so incredibly hard to clean! Any suggestions? They always collect...
Jelly toys?
I have heard that jelly toys can cause reactions. What are the odds of this? What kind of reactions? What is the safest material to use that isnt wood
Is there any way to determine whether a toy is jelly or TPR?
Obviously, I'm wondering, is there any way to tell for sure whether or not a toy is actually TPR or jelly? With silicone, you can do the flame test to

Jelly, rubber, and PVC toys are all frequently made using pthalates to help soften them. If a toy has a very strong chemical or rubbery smell that won't wash away, even after a long time, pthalates are probably present. The same is true of toys of these materials that feel greasy to the touch - the greasiness is caused by pthalates leaking out. With these materials, it's best to assume that, unless they specifically state themselves to be pthalates-free, then the chemical in question is involved.
Basically, pthalates are a softening chemical that can cause unpleasant reactions in people who are susceptible to them. Anywhere from mild irritate to a full-blown yeast infection is possible. These can be avoided either by not using these materials, or by using condoms on them. Jelly, rubber, and PVC are also very porous, meaning that bacteria can hide in microscopic holes in the surface and be safe from cleaning (condoms can also help reduce bacterial buildup). Jelly, in addition, should generally not be kept for more than a year since it will begin breaking down more quickly than most other materials.
Hard plastic doesn't contain pthalates, so you don't need to worry about them even if the packaging doesn't mention it. The same is true of silicone, glass, metal, wood, ceramic, stone, cyberskin (though not all other skin-like products are pthalate-free), elastomer, and most TPR and TPR silicone products. And probably some others that I'm forgetting. These have varying levels of porousness, from none to a lot, but they're generally better for your body than jelly, rubber, and PVC.
The nice thing about Eden is that, as you browse, you can narrow down your options by size, color, material, etc. One of the options is to search for pthalate-free toys.

A good, consistent manufacturer to check out is Doc Johnson. They still do jelly toys, which they make in house, and they are pthalate-free. Also, you'll be able to see immediately if an individual toy is pthalate-free by looking just to the right of the main picture, under "Materials and Safety Features".

Usually no. However, Doc Johnson has a line of jelly, pvc, rubber, and sil-a-gel toys that are.
