Classic dong - dildo by Doc Johnson - review by Ava5

The material, PVC or Polyvinyl chloride, can cause a reaction in some people. My boyfriend bought it for me, and this was before either of us knew anything about different materials or material safety. We've also since learned that I tend to be more sensitive to chemicals than other people.

We started playing with this and I remember smelling a horrible chemical-like smell. As soon as he inserted it in me, I felt a burning feeling. We stopped immediately, but the burning just increased with time, and washing my skin off didn't help. I was soon screaming and crying for hours...which at this point you may just think I am a baby, but this was the most painful reaction I've ever had to anything. My boyfriend felt terrible, and it just killed the night. So for obvious reasons I can't offer any more information about this product because I was much too afraid to ever touch it again. We ended up throwing it away since this material is too porous to be safe to share.

I just wish that I had heard about this before we used it. Since then I've run across a few other people online saying the same thing happened to them. I just think there should be a warning about this type of material, that this reaction is possible. In my opinion, it's worth spending a little more money on a safer material just in case. I don't know if this PVC has cadmium in it, a metal known to cause cancer, but cadmium is used as a stabilizer in most PVC made products. So my personal choice is to go with the safest materials out there. There is a similar product made by Doc Johnson and made from pure silicone here - here

If you are going to take your chances with PVC, I recommend covering it with a condom. PVC is compatible with both water and silicone based lubricant.
