Jelly toys

[The_old_man]

My wife and I went to one of the local sex shops looking for a new toy.

She picked out one called the "Tsunami". It is distributed by California Exotic Novelties, and made in Hong Kong. This is a vibrater with a jelly G-spot head.

When we opened the package at home the chemical stench was over powering. Tried to clean it off with: dish detergent, Lava soap, alcahol. Nothing removed the odor. I touched it to my tounge ... taste was not as bad as the smell but was not good, lingered for an hour.

Finaly trashed it after a week.

Question: has anyone else had any luck decontaminating one of these things?

Unfortunately, all the jelly toys I have always started with that smell, and nothing could get rid of it. I think they even still have remnants of that smell. As long as you're not sucking it, I don't see much of a prob, but of you're using it and then performing oral sex, you could try cleaning her. Other than that, I really don;t know what to tell you.

""As long as you're not sucking it, I don't see much of a prob,""

Holy KOW! I don't believe what I'm reading. You are talking aout shoving this blob of semi-solidified industrial toxic waste up your wife's VAGINA.... Ne

Next to her EYESOCKET it is the most delicately Ph balanced, bacteria free, sensitive, nerve packed organ in her body. It is her beloved SNATCH. You fuck it. You lick it. You suck it. You love (presumably) the person at the other end BUT there's no "PROB" sticking something that could be full of DDT, Anthrax, camel cum, plutonium - whatever - up it.

GEEEZZZZ!

Listen, everything made of plastic has a plasticy type smell to it, END OF STORY!!!!! I assumed that was the chemical smell that he was talking about. It can be unpleasant, but whatever. Is it leaking shit??? No. Is there any kind of residue on it? No. It's the same shit my son's teeting rings are made of asshole, and if they weren't safe, they wouldn't make them for babies. I have tried to get the smell to go away, but it won't. Don't sit there and insult my intelligence. You are no better than any of us.

PMS???

""if they weren't safe, they wouldn't make them""

GAWD!!

Honey, I didn't insult your inteligence. YOU'RE doing that all by yourself.

I was just trying to make sense to the lowest common denominator in here. Considering some of the questions I think that's the wisest (not claiming to BE the wisest) move.

If it smells like toxic waste, looks like toxic waste, tastes like toxic waste, feels like toxic waste - it just might be. Sure glad I didn't step in it etc. etc.

So to speak....

 

[Belilica]

I see your point, MR.G. I will try my best not to be a raving bitch anymore, I promise. I just got carried away there....

I actually remember seeing a Canadian news story on jelly toys and the problems with them. Sure smell was noted as an initial problem but the biggest problem is that the market for sex toys is completely unregulated. In fact, some countries were producing jelly toys that were prone to break down and dissolving after a very short period of time. BTW, this was on a very reputable show and they did show examples of what to look for and what to avoid. Just a little information!

 

[Belilica]

Man, I had no idea... I guess I'll just ask someone to pass me the salt to go with my left foot....

I just wanted to let people know. That report scared the hell out of me. I had a favorite jelly toy but after seeing that, I was reluctant to use it again. Just be careful and examine your jelly toys often for signs of breakdown.

BTW, this was on CBC Newsworld as a segment on Marketplace or Venture (dammit can't remember which!)

Not all jelly toys are created equal.....

I have one that has a sort of berry scent built-in.

I've never tried the 'Tsunami', and with it shit-canned, not much to discus on it, however, I will add a 'Hint from Heloise' that's worked in the past with removing odors from plastic items...

Vanilla extract.

 

[The_old_man]

Thank you all for the replies.

We did try several "Toy Cleaners" as well as those I had listed.
The odor was NOT that of rubber or latex, it was also very much stronger than even a fresh box of latex gloves.

After washing the toy with alcohol (both 70% medical and 90% industrial), the (looks and feels like)silicone jacket over the inside jelly separated. I stripped the jacket off and was assalted with a stench even worse than originally noticed.

I worked at an injection moulding company for a while and none of the plastics, even when hot, had a stench like this toy had.

 

[Belilica]

Man, it must have been trash. I've never had any kind of experience with a toy smelling like that before. I guess I'll just have to avoid the Tsunami.
