Most vibrators, dildos and �love dolls,� for instance - especially the soft, pliable �jelly� type - use some form of plastic. In an effort to make the materials softer and more lifelike, PVC plastics suppliers incorporate one or more members of a family of compounds called phthalates (FAY-lates). To hear some environmentalists tell it, using a vibrator that includes phthalates is akin to bathing in DDT. Alarmed, some adult toy retailers, most prominently San Francisco-based Good Vibrations, are banning toys that include phthalates. toy
