Tantus manufactures sexual health care products using their own unique formula of 100% Ultra-Premium Silicone.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Silicon is a naturally occurring element in the universe, and by using our own formula of 100% pure silicone, Tantus Toys are:
· Phthalate Free
· Hypoallergenic
· Non-Toxic
· Naturally Bacterial Resistant
· Hygienic
· Boilable
· Dishwasher Safe
Silicone is porous, but where silicone holds its benefit against bacteria is that Silicone, by nature, has low surface energy and is hydrophobic. These two features greatly reduce the risk of giving bacteria a place to live. Most bacteria need a moist environment to live and Silicone by its very nature typically prevents that from happening.
Silicone can also be made with antibacterial properties imbedded into its chemistry, but for Tantus’ use of Silicone, embedding those properties add higher than expected levels of toxicity to the material and may tend to kill helpful bacteria in the human body.
And finally, Silicone can easily withstand temperatures of 125◦ C (257◦ F) for short lengths of time without breaking down its structural and physical properties. The ability to withstand high temperature allows Silicone to be sterilized between uses.

 

At Tantus we not only strive to make the highest quality products, but we also strive to foster a community, where we can learn from one another, and share our experiences.

Tantus Toys are Phthalate Free

What Are Phthalates?

Phthalates [THAL-ates] are esters of phthalic acid, and are used as plasticizers [to increase flexibility, transparency, and durability] of plastics. Phthalates, specifically DEHP, DINP, and DIDP are widely used in adult toys made of so-called “Jelly.” Phthalates have been inextricably linked to an innumerable amount of severe and long-lasting detrimental health effects such as:

· Breast cancer
· Kidney failure
· Liver failure
· Birth defects
· Endocrine disruption
· Allergies
· Neurotoxic Effects
· And reproductive issues

Chemical compounds in Phthalates may also cause

· Itching
· Burning
· Rash
· and tissue damage

The quick migration of these plasticizers have been linked to several irreversible health issues, and you should be conscious and aware of products that may use these materials.

What exactly is toxic about an Adult Toy?

Toxic additives such as Lead, Antimony, Cadmium, and Arsenic all reside in the colorants used for adult products. Tantus has focused upon extirpating these harmful elements and materializing a product that is a healthy for the body and a true industry standard for health conscious consumers.

Sex Toys Are Not Regulated

When entering an adult store, the majority of consumers are not aware that safety should be a legitimate concern when purchasing a product. Sex toys are made from an abundance of materials, and not all of them are safe to be used with your body.

· The adult toy industry is an unregulated market. Therefore manufacturers have the ability to depict and display any outstanding claims that they may see fit.
· Be conscious and aware of the materials that manufacturers use, and how they label them.
· Toys that are made from Rubber, PVC, Vinyl, or Jelly material will often contain Phthalates.
· Over 50% of adult toys currently on the market contain Phthalates;  cancer inducing chemical compounds, and toxic materials such as Ethylbenzene, Naphthalene, Styrene, Acetaldehyde, Dichloromethane, and Benzene, which can all be found on the EPA’s most hazardous materials list.
