Jelly is Poly vinyl chloride. It cannot be disinfected or shared between people. It has phthalates in it which is not good at all.

I personally have not heard anything related to cancer in Jelly products. I originally used jelly products when I first tried sex toys. Now I will used ONLY silicone, glass, metal, and some other silicone composites like TPR Silicone for certain uses.

Okay so upon further research there is also this link which talks about plants manufacturing PVC where workers often have increased risks of cancer etc.

So I guess in conclusion, Jelly (PVC) is a very harmful compound/material that is hard to recycle. If it reaches a landfill it releases dioxin into the earth/water and poisons it. Neurotoxin's are found in PVC also. Basically this stuff is bad!

The amount of time, energy, waste, chemicals, poison and I could go on that is involved with PVC is sickening when you learn the nitty gritty dirty details.

Lol your welcome. Yea this was a learning experience for me too on some of the info.

Companies continue to make jelly toys simply because uninformed buyers continue to buy them. Even some informed buyers like the feel of jelly enough to keep using it, though in these cases it's usually pthalate-free jelly that's being used, which is somewhat safer.

I can't imagine jelly toys, or at least pthalate-free ones, would be big cancer-inducers. Factory workers are one thing - they're around the stuff and breathing in the fumes all day - but a casual user is probably pretty safe. I can't say for sure, though.

But all in all, it's just easier to look after high-quality materials like silicone. Plus, silicone can last a lifetime, while jelly generally starts to break down between six months and a year.
