Now we cuddle with crystals

Sex toys made of gemstones may make some people frown, but on closer inspection they make perfect sense. Especially if you value your health.
At the beginning of this year, the German consumer organisation Stiftung Warentest drew a worrying conclusion: out of 18 sex toys tested, only three were free from harmful substances. These included plasticisers, which are suspected of impairing fertility, and nickel, which can trigger allergies. Even expensive models disappointed.
In Switzerland, according to the Federal Office of Public Health, sex toys are considered consumer goods and fall under federal legislation on food and consumer goods. Toys must therefore comply with all food regulations. However, it is the responsibility of manufacturers, importers and distributors to ensure that these requirements are met. However, with a large range of different marketplace providers like ours, it cannot be ruled out that potentially unsafe products could end up in circulation. So it's up to you, the consumer, to inform yourself thoroughly before making a purchase and check the ingredients. Or you can opt for natural alternatives.
Hard times
You can play it safe with products made from chemical-free natural materials. Sex toys made from gemstones, such as those from the brand La Gemmes, are currently in vogue and pay tribute to the sustainability movement. You may have noticed that topics such as mindfulness and spirituality are also becoming socially acceptable in all areas of life. Crystals are no exception. So it was only a matter of time before the stones found their way into our beds. The love toys from La Gemmes are 100 per cent natural and free from chemicals, silicone or BPA. You can also be sure that your model is unique and handmade, because: Each stone has a slightly different colour and grain due to its nature.
To the entire range from La Gemmes.
Trend or not: If, like me, you believe in the power of chakras and rose quartz, rock crystal, jade and the like, you'll have twice as much fun with these little sculptures. And you can be guided by your spiritual needs when choosing the right stone.
