Online retailer Etsy will prohibit sales of most sex toys, content that depicts sex acts and genitalia, and more starting July 29.
The indie seller published its Adult Nudity and Sexual Content policy yesterday, which states that sales of adult toys that are insertable, “applied to the genitalia,” or “designed for genitals to be inserted into them” will be prohibited. That pretty much runs the gamut — dildos, vibrators, rings, plugs, and the like will be banned.
Could be liability? Someone sells a poorly made toy which breaks inside someone. Is etsy concerned they maybe held liable for that sort of thing being allowed to be sold? I don’t know - thinking out loud
Ehh. I mean, if they were just banning sex toys, I could believe something like that, but doesn’t explain why they’d ban stuff other than sex toys simultaneously:
“gluteal clefts”.
I don’t know why I find that so funny.
Even like ‘real’ dildo manufactures tend to claim the toy is for novelty use only and don’t recommend actually using the thing as an insertable object. Adult toys aren’t really regulated, because that would mean legitimizing them which is icky to the government. So they’ll never really be regulated for health and safety

Yeah, because it’s stupid to use them for that.

There are products that are designed to clean the ears. Q-tips are for makeup and cleaning electronics and stuff.
I’m just going to have to disagree with you on that.
If you can get your hands on them, try the clinear things. They’re shaped like cotton swabs, except instead of a wad of cotton on the end, it has a little scoop.
It’s like using a spoon to eat cereal instead of a hammer. I don’t understand why people use hammers.
So they’ve reinvented earspoons?
I bought one a few years ago for medieval reenactment stuff. Never planned to use it because I always hated the feeling of cotton buds. Then eventually got curious enough to try it.
Turns out it’s the texture I hate.
Actually I do have something similar and it is indeed pretty great but q-tips are still my go-to for daily use.
