    Hey ITKintheknow,

    I'm no expert, but from what I understand, there shouldn't be a problem as long as you keep it clean. The latex smell is annoying. Latex dildos are the next step up from rubber, but less desirable than silicone - especially the German-made (higher priced, of course) medical-grade silicone dildos. Besides the latex smell, though, the only potential issue with the latex dildos is that they have high allergic reaction rate (they use a cheaper than the latex used in condoms) so if it starts to feel oddly 'uncomfortable' that may be an issue for you. But that's just something to keep in mind and nothing to worry about initially.

    I hope that helps.:slight_smile:

    Latex smell is stronger in the beginning. Over time and use (washing!), the smell will reduce, but probably never go away entirely.
