(Green) Sex (Toys) In The City

Posted by Katie Halper

Last week we blogged about the sad and scary fact that many sex toys contain phlatates, a plastic softener, which is so hazardous the European Union banned its use in children's toys. Ironically, since phlatates have been linked to cancer and damaging sperm, we are putting things in our nether regions, that may be bad for our nether regions. Well, we all know and love the Rabbit Habit vibrator that was immortalized on Sex in the City. So we were heartbroken when we thought we were going to have take the old phlatate-containing rabbit out back and put him down.

But we are thrilled to announce the new and improved and phthalate-free version of the Classic Rabit Habit: The Elastomer Rabbit Habit vibrator. So you can say goodbye to phlatates and hello to the rotating pearls, glitter twirls and fluttering rabbit ears. If you want the rabbit, grab it for $90 at Babeland. And if any readers already have a pet rabbit at home, or have traded in the old one for an elastomer one, tell us if you think the vibrator is worth all the buzz.

Not to get all science nerd on you, but it's phthalates, not phlatates. It's a difficult word, I know, but your worry begins to sound like hysteria when you keep getting the name of the class of substances wrong.

Not just Europe, but Washington as well is passing legislation (fingers crossed) to remove phthalates from children's toys. And yes, the real Washington, not the district (pet peeve- no one says DC, but consistently refers to the state as Washington State. Do we have a New Jersey State?). No. Thought not.

Yes, I am worried your uterus is moving. We all know that women are prone to this kind of thing, along with the vapors
