If it smells of nasty chemicals, do not put it in you!
(Some may consider this to be adult content. I considered marking it as such; but then i considered that many children (curious little buggers that they are-and that we would do them well to remember having been) do eventually experiment with inserting objects into their sensitive areas, and vice versa; and they should know that there are things that-whilst mechanically compatible, and maybe even apparently designed for that purpose-are not suitable. And they're not about to consult Mommy-especially if Mommy, like most, is trepid about such subjects.)
I have an item that was sold for the purpose of insertion into sensitive parts of a human body. (More realistically it was sold for the purpose of turning a profit, with little regard to the well being of its user.) This item came into my posession because it's previous owner, sensibly, decided that using it for its prescribed purpose was a bad idea (and figured that i could make rubber feet of it or some such harmless thing; though i've pondered various rather silly uses for it). [No, i'm not dodging the implication that i bought it myself; it simply seems relevant that someone else had the sense to opt not to use it.]
It reeks of the smell of the cheap vinyl inflatable rafts of my childhood (evoking memories of time spent blowing air into them, floating about on them, repairing holes in them, and eventually giving up and throwing them away). The reason that it smells this way is that it was not properly cured. I gather that this is a wide spread problem. Manufacturers cut corners by cutting short the cooking time, resulting in products that leech nasty chemicals into the air around them, and onto anything that they touch. Be mindful of this when considering the use of such things; even if it's their prescribed purpose, that doesn't mean that they're not dangerous to you.
Anything that smells like such things should not come into contact with your sensitive areas. Even contact with not so sensitive areas should be avoided. (Handling this object leaves my hands smelling almost as strongly of it; and i wash them soon thereafter, as the substances involved would eventually soak through my skin and into my bloodstream).
If it smells of nasty chemicals, do not put it in you, and avoid handling it.
