Product Promises & Guarantees
We strive to provide accurate information about our products to help consumers better understand what products are designed to assist them in experiencing certain sensations. We provide basic product descriptions to explain what products are intended to do and how they are to be used. Our product information comes directly from the manufacturers. We make no claims, promises, or guarantees about any of our products.

Non-toxic & Body-Safe Product Claims

Consumers should contact the manufacturers directly should they have questions about a specific product for the most up-to-date information.
There is a great deal of debate on some of the most commonly used ingredients in products used everyday, from shampoo to personal lubricants, even when F.D.A. approved. We do our best to disclose all information provided to us by the manufacturers and additional research to educate and empower our consumers to make the best health choices for themselves. Consumers are responsible for their own independent research of such ingredients and materials to determine health risks in purchasing them for their use.
Fluid Products (Lubricants, Oils, Etc.) & Shipping
Please note that some lubricants and other fluid products may change consistency when left in extreme temperatures. For example, if a lubricant is shipped to you when there are freezing temperatures outside, it may cause changes in the lubricant, causing it to become thicker and denser. If you order a fluid product of any kind from any company and have it shipped during very cold weather, you may want to make arrangements to require a signature so it is not left outside to limit the exposure to the product being exposed to cold temperatures.
