Vibrators in Ökotest

Now this is one of the great things about Germany. A country that would actually go and test vibrators and list the results in a major consumer magazine. No, not quite for their "O-factor", but for harmful chemical residues.

Ökotest tested 22 vibrators and their chemical levels. Things like amount of PVC, "Dibutyl- (DBT) und Tributylzinn (TBT)" and polyzyklischen aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffe (PAK) etc. No, I don't know what all of them are either, but some of them have been found to be cancer-causing agents, so possibly worth paying attention to what you put near your nether regions.

The top-listed winner that they tested was the Freshvibes G2 Patchy Paul II, in apple green. Supplied from Fun Factory and pictured here.

The full list of results can be found in the November 2006 issue of Ökotest. The article can be read for the next month or so for free (in German) here.

That looks like one of the maggots I used to put on my hook when fishing.

It's not exactly attractive, is it?

I wonder if the blue version of Paul is equally environmentally friendly?

Renia, the real thing isn't particularly attractive either... but it gets the job done.

Looks pretty effective to me. Mostly, I like the grin on its face.

Actually looking again, it seems to have a smiley face on it.

Yeah, it does have a smiley face. And it's kind of... ribbed (ovbiously as you can see in the picture). Lovely little toy... or so I've heard.

Basically, the report says stick (sorry, bad choice of word there ) to the inflexible ones, even the wooden ones, instead of the soft, flexible ones that are chock-full of cancer-causing chemicals.

They make wooden ones?

It looks a bit like this:

For some reason, I want to sing Groovy Grubworm.

(from the linked article)

Exactly my reaction!

Is that the Loch Ness Monster?

I've never seen a wooden one in real life I guess. I was envisioning something that looked like that Stössel thing you use to make Caipirinhas.

Yep, it's beastiality.

What's so weird about wooden vibrators? They've made wooden dildos for millennia, why not improve on a successful concept?


We have a very spaced-out black one - I call it the Alien. Does that count as intergalactical fornication?

I keep reading this topic as: Vibrators in Oktoberfest. Doh!

Would be a bit embarassing if you got a splinter

Me too!! Its so funny how people misread things, eg. curry jeans. We should start a "Misheard topic titles" topic!

Plays intro to Jaws...

Will be more suspicious from now on of women who keep large amounts of sand paper in the house.

Honestly though, I've never seen a wooden one. I actually didn't realize they made them.

Ahem, I fell on a broom handle...

Planed, polished and oiled maple: I wouldn't worry. Just clean it well with a soft cloth afterwards, and I wouldn't be surprised if it came with a maintenance kit like Harry Potter's broom.

Is that the poor woman's dildo?

The phalix glass range are excellent. You can stick them in the fridge. All hand-made but a bit pricey. And dishwasher safe.

Why?

Glass??? (makes completely aghast face!!!) I thought wooden splinters might have been bad, will stick to the real thing thank you very much!

Because.

Here's a good link for them. They are so cool.

Glass and Chrome Dildos

I would think a gel-filled dildo would have about the same effects as a vibrator stuck in the fridge - I'd be afraid of short-circuiting anything electric myself.

Well, obviously!

I will stick to my small bunny! Thanks.

Amazed nobody commented about the colour- green, that is just icky!

Would that count as living greener?

I have pics... but if i posted them my life expectancy would be about the same as a roswell guest in the 50's.

wow starting to feel left out w/ my nonexistent vibrator experience.

come shopping with DDBug and me next time!

Ahem. Me?

okay girls how about the same day/night we play never have i w/ your martinis (non-vodka for DDbug and all the vodka Carm and i can drink for us!)

it's not "never have i" it's "I never" - jeez missy, where did you go to college

Try a real man ,you won´t need plastic stuff anymore, skin is so much nicer.

are you volulnteering sea-king?

yeah sorry... at first i was going to call it "5 fingers" b/c i couldn't think of the name!

what you need is one of these saves loads on batteries

Sure, no problem, my batteries are fully charged!

Heard about em but never had the urge to get the wife one and she says she does not need one.Plastic, no way jose.Pulsing meat bio degradable and always ready

...and did Ökotest have any results for vibrators smeared with Marmite?

Somehow I should have expected this question from you.

Some things are important mate, and Marmite is one of them.

For those women who are feeling left out there is also this 'handy' alternative:
(Even if though the ad is a couple of years old).

the one on the left looks like corn on the cob.

oh, you're right it does

JML, incoming, with a butter comment.

we should probable start a thread in the adult forum for women...do you own and use one...
