Jelly toy cleaning question - 4/22/2012 9:40:54 AM

Status: offline 		Okay, so question about toy cleaning! We got a ballgag a while back, made out of that rubber jelly stuff they make dildos out of, which I've never had any problems with. But for some reason, this thing tastes really bad and causes my lips and tongue to burn like crazy. I tried washing it with soap and water, but the second time we tried it we had the same result. I think it's some chemical residue on/in the ball, since I'm not allergic to the material (or at least, have never been in the past). Is there anything else I might want to try using to clean it that would be appropriate for a jelly toy? Or should we just throw it out and get another one?

Status: offline 		That burning you are getting is from a chemical called Pthalate they added to make the jelly stuff more pliable. The toymakers have started to phase it out because the chemical leaks from the toy and causes that burning.
While you can use a condom to temporarily stop it from leaking, it only works for a short while and will "bleed" through the condom. I would just toss the gag (and any other insertables you own with Pthalate in them) and replace them with Pthalate free toys.
Yes that can be expensive if you replace them all at once if you have more than 1 (even 2 or 3 can knock you back about $100.00 depending on what you're replacing) but burning free playtime is worth it IMO.
One of my favorites had Pthalates in it and I was sad to have to throw it out, but the replacement has made all the difference...instead of safewording because by insides are on fire, I can save it for something really serious, like he smacks the sweet spot on my ass with the cane a little too hard LOL.

Lucifyre is correct - it's the pthalates in the toy that is causing an allergic reaction.

Really, I would suggest you do what I did and throw the toy away and buy another that is pthalate free.

That doesn't mean you can't make it worse by doing things that break down the rubber, but it does mean that there's not really a safe way to use this stuff in gags.

Also we're still trying to figure out how bad this stuff is, but we don't think they are good.

I'm not sure how successful we'll be in our attempt, though. If anyone has any other ideas on how to salvage such gags, it would be interesting to hear. :)

Short of that just trash it, some of these chemicals are thought to cause cancer and none of them seem to be good for you.

Status: offline 		Thank you everyone for your replies! That's definitely what I needed to know. It seems like such a shame to throw away a gag we only got to use twice, but if there's no real way to salvage it I guess we'll have to. Especially what with the possibly cancer-causing chemicals and all, yikes.

Hmm, that's a good idea, actually. Maybe you could sew a little pouch closed around it (with the stitches on the side not going in your mouth) and sew it to the leather? I'm not sure this would work for us, because this gag barely fits in my mouth as is, but it's a thought.

Thanks for the tips! Wouldn't glass, acrylic or steel be hard on the teeth, though? I don't have a whole lot of experience with gags other than the improvised cloth or duct tape variety, so I appreciate any guidance.
