    You should only make toys meant for butt use out of platinum cure/medical cure silicone, glass, or stainless steel. Other commonly used polymers such as TPU and PVC will give you ass cancer.

      That’s a good note. Although you can of course use a condom, but yeah.

      I think Tupperware makes glass containers with silicon lids as well though, so again… just shape and size, really.

      Like would you consider farming corn to be a different industry than farming potatoes? Some of the machines are probably different yeah, but it’s all “agriculture”, innit?

        I can’t really speak from a position of knowledge on manufacturing TPU/TPE/PVC toys, but making silicone requires mixing two parts together and then casting your toys before they start to cure. I’d imagine Tupperware is an injection molding process instead. I have no idea how much machinery you could repurpose, though I’m curious to find out now

          And corn and potatoes are farmed very differently, seeing as one is underground and one is not. Same industry, more or less, though. In my humble opinion.

          I too might be interested. Someone should make a documentary comparing Tupperware and dildomaking.
