Toxic Adult Toys too!

I had a very informative and interesting Mom's Night Out last night with a fabulous group of fellow moms. Did you know that "adult" toys and products are even less regulated than kid's toys? I didn't...b/c frankly, it never occurred to me!

Apparently though, that's the case. Products and items which may be intimately close to very sensitive body parts very often contain the same dangerous chemicals that we are concerned about in children's products, most often polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or other materials that can lead to short or long-term health problems.

A FABULOUS local resource that specializes in safe and healthy adult products is the Smitten Kitten, located at 3010 Lyndale Ave S. The Smitten Kitten even has an associated non-profit organization, the Coalition Against Toxic Toys (CATT), with a mission “To demystify the adult sex toy industry and positively transform socially irresponsible, environmentally and personally hazardous sex toy manufacturing and sex toy sales practices.”

TSM has educators on staff if you are interested in learning more.
