Throwing away a favorite sex toy is something that many people can’t let go of right away. It's never easy, especially parting ways with sex toys that have been with us for so long. As hard as it is to accept, sometimes separation is necessary and we have new sex toys waiting for us. If you don’t want to throw your sex toys in the trash, here are some more fun, environmentally friendly ways to dispose of your sex toys.
How do you tell when it’s time to dispose of a sex toy?
So how should we tell when it’s time to dispose of sex toys? There are two big reasons to ditch sex toys: performance and safety. As far as performance is concerned, if one day you find that your sex toy doesn't work, even if you replace the charger, it doesn't help, or the sex toy makes unbearable noises, then it's time to say goodbye to your sex toy. In terms of safety, if a sex toy is cracked or peeled off, it will become a haven for bacteria. If it continues to be used, it will be harmful to health. Sex toys should not be put into the body at this time. It’s time to think about how to deal with it.
Why choose environmentally friendly materials?
1. Good for the environment
Choosing sex toys made of environmentally friendly materials can reduce pollution in our environment. Sex toys made of non-biodegradable materials end up being thrown into garbage dumps, where they are difficult to degrade and pollute the environment. Moreover, toxic chemicals are released during the manufacturing process of PVC materials.
2. Responsible for health
Choosing healthy materials is also responsible for our physical health, allowing us to better enjoy the happiness brought by toys. For example, 100% silicone, ABS plastic, medical-grade stainless steel, etc. are all very safe materials that do no harm to the human body. But some inferior materials and harmful compounds can affect our health. For example, sex toys made of jelly rubber contain phthalates, which can damage our reproductive system and health. So when choosing toy materials, choose materials that are safe, non-porous, and free of harmful substances. The sex toys in OOTY store are made of materials that are safe, healthy and harmless to the body after our strict screening.
How to better handle sex toys?
It’s time to say goodbye to sex toys. Although it is tempting to throw sex toys into the trash can, here are a few better ways to dispose of sex toys that are more environmentally friendly and still maximize their value.
1. Green recycling
Sex toys are made of many materials. Common materials include silicone, ABS plastic, borosilicate glass, stainless steel, etc. These materials can be recycled. You can check the local recycling places for these materials, or there are some Sex toy companies will recycle second-hand sex toys, which can make sex toys have better value and be more environmentally friendly.
2. Repair sex toys
