Failed the Flame Test?

The first time I ever did the flame test, the product failed. It was the Geisha Plug Diamond. Fortunately, I hated the product, so it wasn't too much of a loss.

I don't see the point.

Last year, it seemed "popular" to flame test toys, so there were many reviews with the test results in them. So if I had a toy that they tested, why would I need too?

And since all of my frequently used silicone toys are from Jopen, Fun Factory and Lelo... I really don't see the point in doing that!

good to know Woman China. I'm very reluctant to do this test knowing what the risk is unless it's a toy I don't like or it's broken.

Never heard of it, but it sounds like something that could become expensive if I started testing toys.

Some people feel that the risk is in using a toy labeled as silicone that is not pure silicone. If the toy is pure silicone, there isn't much of a risk in performing a flame test since the toy won't be damaged. If the toy fails the test and isn't pure silicone, some people would not want to use the toy anyway, so there's no risk of loss.

You should only test the toys if the outcome matters to you, not as just a frivolous experiment. Of course, if someone has already verified the manufacturer/toy as being reliably 100% silicone, there is also no need to test the toy yourself.

I've never done one myself but it seems it's not 100% accurate anyway. This is why we need to support Dildology!
