Why you should never buy sex toys on Amazon.

I see people on here all the time talking about buying sex toys on Amazon so it’s time to run through this again. I know it may seem like you’re saving money but when something seems too good to be true it usually is.

The main reason you shouldn’t buy sex toys on Amazon is that, unlike buying from reputable retailers, you have absolutely no garuntee that the product you’re buying hasn’t been used, returned, and resold. The sex you industy in America is almost completely unregulated so really can’t trust amazon to hold better business practices than legally required. People have found bodily fluid and pubic hair on toys purchased from Amazon.

The second biggest reason is that you’re more than likely buying an expensive knock off labeled as a brand name item. The way the amazon marketplace works is by sorting items with the same bar code name into the same catagory. So let’s say you want a wi vibe so you pay for one but what happens is that amazon doesn’t log a difference between a brand name Wi-vibe and a knock off from China. They’re both just labeled “wi-vibe” so you pay for a quality item and get a cheap knock off. So you may think you’re getting a high quality item for $50 but instead you’re getting a $10 look alike that will die and malfunction quickly. Imagine paying for a Lelo (the most luxury sex toy brand) and getting something nothing like that.

And lastly, it’s not safe for you! Because the chances of you getting a knock off are so high, it’s very likely that you’ll get something made out of harmful materials. A lot of the sex toys made cheaply in China and places like that have no body safe regulations on materials so not only could you pay for a brand name item and not get it , but you might actually get something that could make you sick or even poison you. Some toys will even leak oils and chemicals when exposed to water or fluids.

i honestly love the finnish way of addressing lgbt people. i’m not a fan of the acronym, ‘cause if you include absolutely everyone, it gets super long and complicated, and if you don’t include everyone, well.. you don’t :D which sucks.

but in finnish we call the community the rainbow community. families with one or more queer parent are called rainbow families. queer and trans kids are called rainbow youth. we’re called rainbow people.

rainbow is such a nice way to describe us (dodie’s rainbow is a beautiful song which i think sums up the niceness of it). it’s beauty. it’s joy. it’s simply nice.

and it’s inclusive no matter what. once when i went to a rainbow youth event, the adult supervising the event said something so simple, but something that will stick with me forever. i’m not very good at translating stuff, but basically she said “everyone fits underneath the colours of the rainbow.”

i really wish the term would spread to the english language as well, ‘cause i’m really happy to call myself a rainbow person.
