Silicone feeling up other silicone

Indeed. I'm thinking of banishing the jelly toy from the company of the others entirely. I'm working on a storage option that will make that feasible. In the meantime, it's in a cosmetic bag, and everything else is in individual bags of some sort as well, and I'm using a Tunti, so it's really not a concern. As for silicone meeting silicone, if the temperature of my bedroom exceeds 600 degrees, I think I have bigger problems than melted dildos.

I keep my stuff separate but together, if that makes sense. Plastic in one bag, most silicone in another, glass, wood and metal in yet another and an "all around" bag for things like the laya spot and smart balls, some bullets, etc. LELO also has it's own bag.

Nothing in the bags is in it's own bag, though, except the glass, metal and wood and that's mostly for ding prevention.

Then again, I have that pink bag fetish, yanno, so I HAVE the bags to keep them separate but together. If I didn't... I'd be more picky, I'm sure.

I feel really naive right now, but honestly, I never thought of product mislabeling for silicone. It happens all the time with other types of products. Still, never entered my mind.

Creepy.

Originally there were less than a half dozen manufacturers world wide making silicone toys. Scorpio was the first, Bend With The Wind, Dils For Does, Lickorish. Fun Factory started the year before we did (but wasn't distributed in the US) and we came in as Bend With The Wind discontinued wholesale.

I don't know when the bigger companies started coming out with their "silicone" but a lot of it was TPR and as I read on twitter from a blogger last week, some of it still melts with a match.

Thanks for all the great info Metis!

My two cents: I keep most of my toys in ziploc bags of various sizes, from the cheap jelly to the good silicone. (the plastic toys get to run around free) My main reason for bagging silicone is that it's easier to keep them clean that way with all the dog fur and construction dust floating around. And I'm a tad OCD about organizing my toys.

Like Darling Dove, I also prefer to keep my dual-density silicone (O2 in my case, I don't own any vixskin yet) in plastic bags because it scratches and tears easily. My Niagara has a small tear just from bumping around against the zipper of a toy case.
