HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – In order to provide safer toys for the widest variety of customers, Sportsheets has switched from latex to silicone for its range of 10-inch and 14-inch whips and ticklers in black, red and purple.

A company statement indicated the change was made in order to accommodate those with latex sensitivities.

“Producing these whips and ticklers with silicone rather than latex makes them safe for everybody while maintaining the same range of sensation that Sportsheets customers expect,” a spokesperson said.

The products will remain phthalate-free and made with wood beads and durable nylon cord. The tickers feature a sturdy ABS plastic rod with rubber cap.
