The Hype About Phthalates

About 6 months ago, I was speaking with a woman who worked for a company that was testing food storage containers for phthalates. I asked her what a phthalate was (I had honestly never heard of this word) and she explained to me that it was a compound chemical used to soften the hardest plastics, and was used in products such as food storage containers, children's toys, and sex toys! Sex toys?? Couldn't be.... if phthalates are harmful, why would they put them into sex toys, which are used on our most intimate and sensitive parts of the body!?! This question is EXACTLY why the use of phthalates of become quite the controversy in the adult toy industry. Since I feel it is important to keep my readers informed, I decided to do a little bit of research on the topic(click on the links to see the whole articles I received my research from)... here is what I found.....

It started between years 1997 and 2005 when it was being discovered by both doctors and research teams that there were multiple phthalates in peoples urine, and that there was a direct link between children's allergies, birth defects, and adult infertility, and the use phthalates in common products such as perfume, pesticides, children's toys, etc... After about seven years, in 2004, the European Union banned the use of several phthalates in the manufacturing of children's toys. However, in the United States there is no law in place to ban those uses, just like there is no regulation on the manufacturing of sex toys and their companies by the United States Government.

Nervous about going into a "store".... Don't Be!

Many men and women of all different ages and backgrounds seem to be voicing that they are nervous about going into a store that sells products to help enhance their love lives. Well, I'm here to tell you, Don't be nervous!

Having worked in this business for several years now, I can tell you that the people who work these stores are more than happy to help you find exactly what were looking for, and usually some things you weren't. I loved first time customers almost more than I loved our repeat customers. I delighted in getting to show a couple all of the fun things that we had to offer them, no matter whether they were conservative or ready for a wild evening of naughty adventure! The Romance Specialists at Lover's Lane know how to gauge their customer's level of comfort and try to slowly usher them into a world where the sky is limit when it comes to their love life.

So if you're nervous, I suggest stepping into a Lover's Lane near you and asking one of their many Romance Specialists for the grand tour of the showroom, and then let them know a little bit of what you'd like... or if you don't know what you'd like and you're a first time buyer of items to enhance your love life, ask them to make beginner suggestions and they will be more than happy to oblige. If you can't get to a store Lover's Lane also has a website and a customer service center to help place your order or answer product questions. You all can also ask me about any product you're interested in, and I will tell you the benefits of the product and also if maybe it is too advanced for a first time purchase.
