Love yourself. Love the planet.

Combine your passion in the bedroom with your love for the environment. Finally there’s an environmentally friendly way to dispose of used or broken vibrators, dildos, butt plugs, and other sex toys. (NSFW)

Glass toys? I have lived a sheltered existence.

I still think making hat racks out of them is clever, but 5 bucks is 5 bucks.

Reminded of this post about sex paraphernalia that rains down along the edge of highways.

If you have a battery-powered vibrator, buy a set of rechargeable batteries; standard batteries contain extremely toxic and corrosive chemicals.

Well yeah but so do my genitals.

Wasn't someone on Metafilter just saying last week that they (or a friend) super-glued a dildo on the handlebars of their bike, and now they don't bother locking it up cause nobody wants to steal it?

remember, you're making sex toys not digging ditches.

Wish I'd thought of this back when I was digging ditches.

It would be awesome if they came out of the coffee shop or whatever and there was another dildo super-glued next to it. Until eventually it was a shambling mass of dildo anemone swaying down the street.

Dispose of your dildoes as the vikings did: snapped in half and thrown on the pyre.

My God! What did they do to that rabbit? How did they BREAK IT IN HALF???

You don't get any Green Kink credibility with me unless you're composting your santorum.

Yes, but the real question is, will Americans want to take the jobs at the processing center?

(Reminds me of this article in the NYT about a fetish gear factory in Pakistan.)

As an American I can most heartily say I would take that job. I would probably go through a lot of rubber gloves. But that idea is nothing short of awesome.

That's a good logo.

super glue?! Why not melt the balls end just enough so you can graft it around your bike?

datawrangler - yeah, like you have corncob, meerschaum, or clay pipes glass pipes provide superior hardness, has a high specific heat so it stays cool/hot longer, and can be blown in very elaborate shapes.

Plus, it can be made to look pretty.

Glass is also really nonporous, so easy to clean.

This whole exercise was probably just an excuse to use that adapted recycling logo.

As I understand it, that "grind-all-the-plastic-up" aspect is part of EVERY recycling plant. But I love how they put that fact front and center for this: "We TOTALLY DESTROY the toy and melt down and reclaim the plastic, because otherwise, ewww."

I thought the vikings glued them to the sides of their helmets to prevent them getting stolen?

Glass dildoes are really the most beautiful of all sex toys, on the average. I've often thought of displaying some as art in my home to see who would look at them blankly, who would blush, and who would take me aside for some after-party arrangements.

If you feel like goggling, there is a video out there of a guy accidentally breaking a glass bottle in his ass.

That sounds like just about the last thing I'd want to use google for...

I always liked this toy. When not in use, it makes an excellent conversation piece for dinner parties.
posted by Blazecock Pileon at 11:52 PM on August 7, 2011

I'm going to sound a little naive here: Blazecock Pileon, what is that toy used for (or should I ask, what is it NOT used for)? Is it site specific or does it have multiple uses?

One Guy One Glass (it was more of a jar, really, iirc) was pretty traumatic, but I once voiced "safety concerns" like the young rope-rider did to a then-gf who brought hers out and rapped it smartly several times on a formica kitchen counter to zero ill effect.

I suspect that that toy could be used as a pretty effective truncheon or at least, a blackjack.

Ah, never ceases to amaze me what gets filtered at work, and what just slides through. . .
