RICHMOND, Va.—Dildology.org, an independent nonprofit organization created to provide reliable information on sex toy materials, has launched and promises to provide validation, to both consumers and the industry at large, that the item is made of the manufacturer-stated materials and publish the results in their wiki.
“In an industry that is largely unregulated, consumers have been relying on the manufacturers to disclose the materials used in any given sex toy,” said blogger Dangerous Lilly, the organization's marketing director. “But the fact is no governing body requires full disclosure, or even any ounce of truth. We think it's about time consumers have reliable information on the toys they're using so intimately with their bodies.”
Budding dildologists have been relying on the popular guerrilla home test for silicone purity known as the “flame test." Dildology.org launched by publishing the results of their product verification lab test on the Jimmyjane product Hello Touch which was previously reported as having failed the flame test. The results of the lab test suggest that there is no truly accurate at-home testing method and ongoing lab tests are necessary to keep the checks and balances of the sex toy industry intact.
The organization will work with accredited labs to test the materials. They will choose products for testing by community demand and will rely on monetary donations to fund the purchase and testing of sex toys as well as accepting product donations from third-party retail stores.
