How to Tell if A Toy Is Truly Silicone

Saturday December 10, 2022

Recently at the store, we were sent a demo of a toy that looked like it might have been 100% silicone, but a few things about it made us wonder and it prompted me to write this article detailing what makes silicone a great material for sex toys and how to spot a toy that is not safe.

Silicone is easy to clean, non-porous, body-safe, and long-lasting. It can be all sorts of colors, can be made to different firmness & density levels, and it transfers vibrations well.

Exploring New Parts of Ourselves on Halloween

Friday October 28, 2022
Halloween is an amazing time of the year to play around with our looks and gender expression! It can be so fun to expand our sense of self or dress up as someone (or something) completely different for the holiday. But when it comes to gender-bending (dressing up as a gender that is not our own) we want to be sure we are doing so mindfully and are thinking about how our costume can impact people in the 2SLGBTQ+ community who often face oppression just for being themselves. Let’s talk about why and how we can create a safer space for this around Halloween!

How to Build a S&x Room - review by Erica

Monday September 26, 2022
I was really skeptical about this show. I didn’t really want to watch it (hence the late review). Can you blame me when Netflix typically develops shows about sex that are more “click-baity” than they are actually informative or impactful? Much to my surprise, I actually enjoyed “How to Build a Sex Room” and I think that on the scale of harmful to positive, it falls more on the neutral to positive end. As an employee at an adult toy store, I of course have some critiques that are important to reflect on, but overall this show was a good step for Netflix!

A brief synopsis: Melanie Rose, an interior designer whose career has recently shifted to focus on designing sex rooms, meets a number of people in a variety of relationship structures to create a space where they can be intimate - whatever that looks like for them!

I’ll start with my critiques!

There is so much to prepare for when heading back to school, especially if you have moved away from home to attend college!

That’s okay, The Traveling Tickle Trunk is here to help!
