I avoid a lot of common ingredients found in many sex products and other, non-sexual products--parabens, phtalates, glycerin (to name just three among dozens)--and sometimes I wonder if I'm just being paranoid.
And then I see this article from last Sunday's NY Times and I'm reminded of the old saying: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you". It seems like every week, I learn of another serious health hazard. Although it does get tiresome, I'm going to keep avoiding things like phtalates, because I like being healthy.
It's actually pretty easy to avoid most toxic ingredients on EF; each product's ingredients are listed and Edenites aren't shy about sharing their concerns and experiences. Outside of the sex product world, however, it can be tricky. Most items with "fragrance", for example, contain phtalates, and everyday items like store receipts can contain crazy levels of BPA.
How about you? Do you try to be aware of, and avoid, toxic ingredients in sex toys (and other sexual products like lubricants)? How about in other, non-sexual products?
